    I literally have circles on my nails. Looks like waves and polka dots in my polish. Ugh
    Hollie H.

    So, I patronized this nail salon some years ago, but I never returned because I told the woman servicing me that I am allergic to latex. She said ok, but when I closed my eyes to be waxed, she placed both of her hands with latex gloves on my face, of which resulted in an allergic reaction. However, this week, a young lady told me that she's been getting her nails done at Rio for five years and recommended that I try them. I was greeted and serviced immediately. However, the young lady was drilling my natural nail and kept saying, "I didn't do anything." She clearly knew she was doing something because I hadn't verbally responded to the burning of my nails related to her drilling. Then, when she finished my nails, I asked her if she was going to clean up around my nails. She told me they don't do that there. I was shocked. I've never not had my nails cleaned up when having them done. She said it would be an extra $10. I told her that I didn't want a manicure, and that was something I've had done every single time I've had my nails done. I told her that I was not happy with the service and that they should work on their services. Then, she had difficulty with her pricing and receipt. I was so taken aback, but accepted that I'd chosen to return. Needless to say, I will not return ever again.

    omg!!! the worst nails experience ever... waste of time, waste of money!!! it's the fact that the lady who was doing my nails did not even care i had concerns about my nail. not only she rushed my nails, then it was not straight and i told you she just file it and done, then comes the cheap bulky nail polish i asked her about and she completely ignored me. never again! dont go there you will regret it, wooo i feel disgusted! i cannot even stare my nails right now. i wished i never went there. yuck!!! a total disgrace. how you just don't care like this! all they care about is the money! greedy axxx.

    I stopped in yesterday to get a pedicure and figured I would just get a full set too. I waited 30 minutes for someone to start on my pedicure and she rushed through both my pedicure and full set because they were having a lot of walk ins. I mean the pedicure and full set took less than an hour. The nail tech was so busy complimenting herself to notice that I was very displeased. My nails are very uneven, some are wide, some are slim and the color is so horrible. I got a matte top coat so you can really see all the imperfections on my nails. I will never visit this place again and I will be sure to warn my friends and family. Do not waste your time or money here. $91 dollars down the drain and I for sure did not tip.

    Still going strong..

    Excellent service every time. Been going for six months now and the experience gets better every time!!

    The best nail salon around! Quick service & friendly staff. I ask for anyone and they slay my nails every time. Highly recommend!!

    This was my second time in the shop and again It was a rush job and because the girl could do NO designs ( nor any type of alternative), she made me feel like my only option was to get plain color then offered to add a sticker like I was 12. Not to mention I told her one of my nails is loose and the tech just painted over it with no repair. They rush through and don't take the time to listen to the customer.

    Nail damage

    I wouldn't recommend. First time going and last. Nail tech, Teresa, did not know what she was doing when taking off my acrylic nails. I asked her to buff the color so that she could see what she was doing. Why do I have to tell you how to safely remove nails?!

    I have gotten acrylics done here multiple times and they look very nice. They have a wide color selection as well.

    I didn't even want to give this place any stars. I was recommended by a friend to go here since we both get our nails done quite frequently. I was getting a gel pedicure and the "tech" that was doing them had no idea what he was doing. While removing my previous gel polish he squirted acetone in my eye, accidentally, while three other techs witnessed, yet all of them lied to the manager later on when I was telling her. As I was showing the guy the design I wanted on my big toe with a reference picture he could not understand me. The manager comes over to see the picture and says "you know what, pick out a design later" as if i was going to change my mind. When he was filing my nails with the electric filer he went down so far it started to sting and burn, eating through too many layers. Every time he noticed he did it he held my toe super tight knowing it was burning. By the time he was done painting my nails he got up and grabbed the plastic gel polish displays and rudely tossed them to me and said "pick new color" even though i did not ask for a new color. By the time he got to the gem design I was so embarrassed and aggravated so I said "just put the top coat on so I can leave" and the manager ran over and said "no no let him do and try". When I finally got out of that chair I went to the counter to discuss my experience with the manager. She argued with me when I said I wasn't paying full price for horrible service and nails that looked nothing like they were supposed too. By this time everyone, employees and customers, we're staring at me and the manager just kept saying "no design looks so good! You pay full price!" I wish I had the guts to walk out. But I don't. So I ended up paying 35 instead of 50. The blue design shown below is what i wanted on my big toe. The design I got looks absolutely horrible.

    Uneven nails. Left nail has a dip in the top left corner.

    Today I went and got a basic gel refill. I had an appointment for 4:15 and did not get service til 4:35!!! I wanted to walk out already at the beginning... but I desperately needed my nails done. All I wanted was for them to shorten my nails down and apply a design. She began by rushing and cutting my nails super unevenly! My left thumb nail is waved and shorter than my right! I also picked one of the designs that was on display, thinking they would be able to do it. when attempting to apply it the technician completely messed up then looks at me like it looked good. I told her to just apply all white because I was not paying $8 extra for that! In the midst of her attempting the design orange color dripped onto one of my nails and she carelessly wiped it off with a paper towel. leaving a discolored spot on my pointer finger. My friend also went with me and got regular color... they did not have hand driers for her they sent her home with wet nails. We will not be going here again and I do not recommend this place to anybody else. Also they do not accept card at all strictly cash, super inconvenient.

    I asked for lines and showed reference pictures similar to a henna tattoo, instead this is what I got .

    Updating my review. I have been going to Rio nails for about 3 months. Needless to say it was a pretty decent place, enough for me to refer several people to them. However, I went on Monday and the experience was not good at all. The girl Nicole rushed through my entire pedicure and gel nail fill. To the point where I started 20 mins after my step mom and still finished 20 mins before her. There was no massaging during the pedicure, no hand massage after my nails were done. I will not be back. I will not spend 88 dollars every two weeks for someone to rush through my process. Not to mention I asked for a design on my ring fingers and the design looked like an Easter egg. I will be finding somewhere else to go from now on.

    I've been seeing Debra for a while now thanks to a recommendation from a friend. I trust Debra to…read moredo what she wants because I know that no matter what she will make it look good. The salon itself is super clean. I am always welcomed warmly by everyone and getting my hair cut/colored is super relaxing. I also travel about an hour to get my hair done every three months. It's worth everything

    It was my first time at La Belle Vie so let's start with the basics:…read more Aesthetic -- Really gorgeous salon! The plaza it's in honestly doesn't do the salon justice, but don't let that fool you. The space is chic yet timeless and the decorator did a really great job designing the space. Everything is super functional yet pretty and comfortable. Environment -- I always like to talk everyone's ear off when I'm stuck in the chair for an hour at a time. From the receptionist to the stylists, everyone working in this salon was super friendly and professional. There were complimentary snacks and beverages, the bathrooms were large and clean, as was the waxing room. Service -- As you'll see in my photo, my hair needed a serious upgrade. I went to see Joanna who is truly a master stylist. I don't trust anyone else to color my hair. Badly damaged with roots 4" long, I walked in struggling. I left absolutely glowing! She used her skills to turn my sad, neglected mane into fabulous and healthy hair. An Asian girl with blonde hair is no easy feat but she always pulls it off. If you're craving a color change, please go see her; from subtle to drastic and everywhere in between, she is an adept stylist with a master's knowledge of color, chemistry and end-result. Price -- It was $190 for the color, cut, wash and eyebrow wax and worth every penny. I'm honestly not the greatest judge though...You get what you pay for and I don't take any chances with my hair! The salon products are also reasonably priced and they have a wide selection of take-home hair care. TL;DR: If you're craving a change, go see Joanna! If you're in the area, check out this salon. You won't be disappointed with what you find here.
