The blue nail polish coming off of my thumb nail.
Lachelle A.

I asked for Blue powder on my nails and pedicure with matching blue. Instead of doing blue powder they did a fill with the color that was already on my nails so they used black powder and then the painted over the black powder with blue nail polish. We got our nails done around 11, by 4 pm the nail polish was coming off.

I started going to Rio Nails because I had tried the other places close to me but I didn't like the service. Way too fast paced. I like to keep my nails simple and short because I type and cook A LOT! I booked my appointment with Kim and she delivered on what I asked for! Every single time I went in she already knew what I wanted. The front staff is very friendly, they make sure to get you signed in and sign you up for the rewards. I have enjoyed 15-20% off of my services from the rewards program and they even sent me a birthday gift card! They have lots of options for pedicures as well, very comfortable chairs and they offer you a beverage while you are getting your services done. They also have the hot stone massage for your legs, soooo wonderful! Every time I have gone they always have staff and I barely ever see anyone sitting and waiting. THAT is the best part. They are pretty consistent with their appointment times so if you have a busy day, waiting for someone to come available wont' throw off your schedule.

I've been to several nail places near me. And I had not found one that left me satisfied. But Rio Nails is the best yet. I walked in one time and they took me right away. I got David and he was amazing. He helped me pick out a color and design and I couldn't be any happier. I need to go soon to get my fill ins. But I will request a pedicure as well. You can't go wrong with Rio nails. I highly recommend this place everyone is nice and professional.

Ahhhh very relaxing!

Been looking for a nail place around Stone Oak for a while. Tried a few and they were ok. Well I finally found a place! They took me in right away without an appointment and catered to me to make sure I was happy. They provided a drink and asked if I wanted a chair massage. They Made recommendations and explained what was in each pedicure package. Eric, my nail tech was phenomenal. Very meticulous and went above and beyond. His pedicure was excellent. Everyone at the salon was very attentive and courteous.

Second and last visit to this place.... Where to start? My initial walk in was greeted nicely and told it was about a 10 minute wait. No big deal! Picked my color for my fill and shellac manicure and sat patiently.... a young lady walked in about 15 minutes later and asked what I was waiting for. Told her again was waiting for fill etc... she told me 10 minutes and to pick color which told her already did. She disappeared and then came back a few minutes later and proceeded to take my existing shellac off. Then transferred me to someone else..... the guy who did my nails did not clean the sitting area where the customer prior to me had left and did nothing like me asking him to clean it. No excuses ever for dirty workstation and especially during COVID....Again at this point should have left... He did not speak to me or ask any questions and seemed to struggle with shape. I honestly felt like they could have cared less for my business....He kept adding fill and now my nails are THICK! My nail beds are pretty tiny so I assumed he would file them down. He didn't. My thumbs are square on one side and blobbed on the other and no "manicure" was delivered. No cuticle trim no hand massage...i can honestly say I've NEVER had a worse nail experience..... check out the photos below and see for yourself. Think twice before wasting your money on this place......I'm going to yet another salon to have them soaked off and start fresh.... total waste of time and money

Gorgeous work, David did an amazing job for my wedding day nails. I have only wonderful things to say about Rio Nails! I highly recommend!

Loved this salon! I paid for the most expensive pedicure & definitely feel like I got my moneys worth. They take their time with you which feels rare these days. None of the services felt rushed. Helen did a great job on my nails! She was able to do exactly what I asked for. I'll definitely be going back.

I believe this location has new owners. I'm new to the area and decided to give them a try. I walked in on a Friday afternoon, got seen right away, and the staff was extremely attentive, friendly, efficient (didn't take too long), and exceeded my expectations with the quality of work. Price was very reasonable as well! Very happy! :) give them a try!

If a nail is filed correctly, she would not be bleeding in a localized area in that nature. That's not irritation. TF? Very unprofessional to gaslight her. I have been frequenting this place for over a year and have recommended this place multiple times. But as of recently, I've been getting knicked, improperly filed down and had less than ideal results. The service has been inconsistent and it's sad to see this place go downhill. It's even more sad to see that management has not only gaslit me, but very clearly is doing it to other women.

Having Mindy respond was very nice and comforting. I know it might seem silly, but who wants to go spend money to end up not happy and in pain at times if the nail tech doesn'know what they are doing, I don't.. So I did go and had a great appointment. The salon was clean, had relaxing music playing, and nice incense going that wasn't overwhelming either. I had my dipping set removed during my pedicure and had a manicure with a shellac set done. Thank you Mindy and to her staff for making it a perfect first time experience, I will definitely be returning. Pedicure: I had a wonderful and relaxing pedicure with a great massage done by Nick (2nd table to the right wear he sits) took his time, asked me how I was, and the massage was amazing! Nick was very detailed and had the same approach in detail to applying the regular nail polish. Color: ibd It's A Match Advanced Wear Duo - regular nail polish in SeaShell Pink Manicure/Shellac Set: Had a very nice manicure with Kevin (1st table to the right). He took his time to prep my nails, clean up, trim down and shape. He always checked his work when he was finished with one hand and go back for a second look just to make sure everything was good. He applied the shellac with the same amount of detail-not to thin, not to thick-just right. Color: ibd It's A Match Advanced Wear Duo - Just Gel in Seashell Pink, 3 coats of the color

It is a good idea to book an appointment. Walk ins are welcome, but who wants to wait? This last time, my boyfriend and I were walk ins that the team managed to fit in.

I wish I had a before pic. It was baaaaad. First, I'd asked for dip and they did acrylic. I was in a rush so I went with it but...not great. Kiki didn't have an exact match to the ruby sparkle color of the other salon, so we decided on a dazzling silver ombré fill that she made look seamless. So pretty! She also fixed the terrible shaping of the other salon and gave me uniform almond shaped nails. I'll definitely be back!

They have 7 nail stations and 8 pedicure chairs with massage. They usually have 4 nail technicians on duty. There are a ton of colors with a large amount available in regular & gel, and some in regular, gel & powder. They will have your tried & true "go-to" in stock as well as most trends. They usually offer complimentary beverages. If they don't, it was simply an oversight...just ask! There is a 5th guy there named John that seems to have his own thing going on. I've never seen him waiting around for customers. He seems to come in for, communicate with, and work on a set schedule of regular clients. If you are one of John's clients, maybe you could write a review detailing what that is all about. I'm usually a short, square, neutral gal, but the owner is happy to embellish me when I get a wild hair for design - think festival or holiday time. Since I'm customarily boring, I always tell her I'm planning design as early as possible so she can schedule appropriately & I don't F Up the remainder of her schedule. She can do aaalllll the things, but if you wait until go-time to request some outrageousness, she may not be able to work it in. They usually get walk ins seated within 5-20 minutes. If they can't get you in , they won't lie to you and have you waiting around for an hour. I have two primary reasons for sticking with a nail salon 1. Quality work. 2. Real people. I never understood people who don't communicate what they expect or say, "whatever you think is best" & then complain when a service isn't what they "expected." Every tech at Lotus has wanted to understand what I want and has worked their best to provide. Every one of them have been uber-nice & respectful to me if I decided on a mid-service change.....they were even nice about a post-service change once, but its probably because that is an extremely rare occurrence for me and I try to be nice & respectful in-kind. Great people. Great work.

The technician called the manager over, and he initially told me that additional polish wasn't needed. It was a bit frustrating because the issue was visible and easy to correct. Thankfully, the technician who worked on my daughter's toenails understood what I was asking and agreed that the area needed more polish and fixed it. I appreciate that the technician helped resolve the issue, but the interaction with management and the lady who did her nails could have been handled better. When a customer politely points out a small fix, it should be taken seriously instead of dismissed.
