Vanessa V.

Let me just start off by saying this was my first time and I'm definitely coming back when I visit this city. The energy when I walked in was super relaxed and mellow. I went in for a pedicure and full set. Pedicure was done by Madison. She was very gentle as I had a cracked toenail, she explained the difference in the pedicures and even helped me pick my color. (I couldn't decide on the shade) Sophia was the one who did my nails, she was very nice, quick and efficient. Everyone in the salon made me feel as if I was at my home salon and that's such a great feeling! The customer service was immaculate

5 STARS FOR THE GIRLS!!! I contemplated on how to review this place. Sat on it a few days. Reality is, the girls here are talented and great! So the stars are solely for them. I will have to review again on what bothered me. Which was directly at the business owners. I got my full set done by Sophia. She's amazing! Her girl next to her Vee was the first person to do my nails a month ago. Both girls are amazing. I love my set both times. They keep you engaged, laughing, and just having a good time. I really enjoyed spending a Saturday afternoon with these ladies . Pedicures are definitely top notch here as well. The girls are awesome. Can't go wrong with any of them here. I will keep coming back because of the girls and how talented they are. 2 STARS FOR THE OWNERS I do have to say they have a wall of prices when you enter so they can't say you don't know the prices. But, they are upsell geniuses here! I work in sales and I thought I knew all the tricks. River nails takes the cake. I paid $195 for my full set and pedicure. Full set gel x medium - $75 Design $40 Soak off $10 Green Tea Pedicure $70 I knew about the full set, and the soak off but they got me on the design and the small extras that all added up. When I went to pay, the girl counted my fingers and just put it in the system. While getting my nails done, there's a girl walk around with an iPad asking if extras were done. The girls report if they did cuticles (extra). Lengths have different prices too. I wanted a tortoise style on my nails. They charged me for having to mix colors (extra) at some point the design wasn't coming out exactly as I asked for and then after a few attempts they were adamant to get it right. Even though I had said to just make a few of them plain. No design. Once I paid I understood why I was heavily being pushed to do a design on every finger. Each finger is extra!!! Crazy upselling!! Of course the gel is also extra! The girls sell you on the green tea pedicure because it includes the callus remover. But, don't tell you that the cuticles are extra on your toes too! Gel as expected, extra. It adds up quickly and right under your nose. When paying I also noticed that tip is on there starting at 15% and the custom button is way at the bottom. At the end of the day I didn't feel I got an almost $200 service. I will come back because of the girls but I will start being far more attentive and asking what is extra moving forward.

A very masculine healthy toe pedicure with black ( its Spooky season) nail polish and top coat in black !

I found this nail spa after a quick search on yelp . I called and was greeted by an amazing and very kind employee . I was set up with a pedicure right away and chose a " A green tea " pedicure . The nail tech was very attentive and kind . I like my water super hot to soak feet into , it did not disappoint . My nail tech named Grace was very sweet and clipped , buffed , cuticle care and massage with great ease and professionalism. I'm a very happy man with gorgeous toes !

This picture is only exactly a week after getting a fill.. BEWARE !! So disappointed in the both service and quality of nail materials they use at this location. It's my 1st and last visit. I had originally scheduled an appointment for a removal and new set. When I got there the nail technician keep telling me at I could just get a fill I didn't need all that and proceeded to just go with a fill. (I'm pretty easy going and didn't want to make it a big deal and let him do his thing). After I got them done and I went to pay, they charged me $75 (minus tip) FOR AN ACRYLIC FILL!! When I questioned the fee, the rep in front said that she just has to charge what the nail tech scheduled for? What the heck? Whatever, I leave and notice that my index finder was completely side ways but it what it is and I went on. I work from home and use no chemicals to clean my home and these nails by the first week growing out(normally) they started going yellow?! One nail just popped off 4 days after getting them done, & now they started chipping from the top and look absolutely horrendous. It's only been 7 days, and already need to take them off and get a new set.. Leaving this review for others like myself looking for a new nail tech or shop in town, (moved here about a year ago & still can't find a place).

I am super happy on how my nails turned out! I booked an appointment for a new set of Gel-X for my Graduation, they turned out better than I thought. The girls there were sweet and helpful. Inside the salon was nice and clean. I would definitely come back again!

Honestly this is probably my favorite nail salon. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. I love getting my nails done here. They always make sure you like the way your nails came out before you leave. Everything is very clean and well maintained. I've been to 2 other nail salons in Hemet and one gave me an infection on my toe and the other just didn't do a good job on my nails. They were popping off like crazy. This is why I continue to come to River Nail Spa. read more

To be honest, I feel super horrible giving this rating and review, because I typically get good service anywhere. But, as for my first experience at this location, I was not very satisfied. I tried five times (I counted) to start up a conversation with the staff by asking mundane questions like, "How long have you been working at this location?" And I didn't ask it in a menacing way either! But, they just completely ignored me... I also complimented them several times, because it's nice to be complimented sometimes, you know? But, it didn't bother me THAT much. It was just a little depressing, haha. I do not have good vision, so it was hard to see what was going on. But, from a distance, the work looked good! However, when I got home, I was surprised to discover that they had cut the corner of my toe somehow (even causing it to bleed), and made it even more irritated on the side, with the skin being torn/cut. It saddens me that my first experience at this place wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped. read more

Ok this place is amazing!!! Tonight I went in with my daughter and her nail lady "Hannah Banana" made her feel happy and made her laugh not to mention did a great job on her mani pedi. I have gotten my nails done by three people in this salon and all three times they all did amazing and had a great attidude. Its a bummer getting your nails done with someone who seems to be having a bad day. Everytime they are happy and friendly. If you are trying to ball on a budget this isnt a place for you, they are not "cheap" but thats ok because you get what you pay for you wanna pay 15 bucks for nails?? Then go look somewhere else, this is the kind of Salon that you keep coming to and they become your friends... Kinda like cheers for the ladies... Lol read more

Terrible experience! My sister in law, my daughter, and I went on 2/12/2018. My daughter got a manicure while Brooke and I got pedicures. First, the guy who did my toes laughed at my tattoo(rudely), then he cut the same toe FOUR TIMES! Then he put nail polish remover on the cuts and it made them burn so badly! He hardly said sorry. Did the owners do anything? No! They didn't even give me a discount. Sad customer service skills. read more

Made an appointment and they called day before and asked what we were getting I specifically said acrylic nails, arrived 10 min prior to app and had us waiting then they said we could sit and I said i wanted a female tech, lady went to back and called someone, I thought to help well no the lady came and said the only people who did acrylics there were male! What a lie it was not our first time there, and the male had totally messed up my nails the last time and a female had done such a nice job on my friend, they said I had to come back a diff day or wait 1:30 hr if I wanted acrylic witch made no sense. They need to make it clear that all they want to do is gel x on customers, and I had done that before and those nails are terrible they melt and become gelly like texture. If you are planning to go here be ready for them to shove gel x on you!! I would never go back terrible service rude and unprofessional. read more

I'm not an extremely picky person and I honestly feel bad complaining of work that a " professional " should be doing. I usually let the person finish to see how it turns out but geez this was bad. My tech was Vanessa (bless her poor heart) her negative energy just rubbed off on me as she was in a bad funk answered a telephone call while doing my nails in which she was terribly unhappy about. Uneven,lumpy, thick nails. My pinky finger nail was broken I've always had them replaced when broken. Nope I think she was too lazy left my broken nail and threw on overlay I've never seen this practice done. I asked what she was doing because usually a tech will tell you what they're doing if it's something unfamiliar she was short with me and took off my index nail idk why didn't say anything did the overlay on that one too. Well she had trouble shaping them into coffin which I asked for, mind you I just went in for a fill she took at least one hour and a half. I complained to the manager she gave me 5$ off and asked me to go back and have her fix it. I honestly don't have the time with kids to be going back and forth because the techs don't do their job right. So sad I felt bad for the last but just DONT let Vanessa do your nails unless you want them to come out like this. I got home tried filing away and fixing myself so sucky to do that after going to a salon read more

I had the BEST experience at Vicky's Nails & Spa today…read more This was my second time coming here--last time they fixed a bad set I got from another salon, and they seriously got me right. I left so happy, so I knew I had to come back! Today my sister and I came in around 6:10 PM (they close at 7), right after I got off work. I felt a little bad for coming in late, but they were so welcoming and kind. They reassured us that it's their job and that they love what they do--which honestly meant a lot. Ruby and Kim did SUCH an amazing job on my acrylic fill and my pedicure, and my sister's nails and toes came out beautiful too! Everything was done with care and attention to detail. There was also a gentleman there (possibly the owner?) who was super friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time. I just moved to this area, and I'm so happy to say I've officially found my go-to salon. I'll definitely be coming back--this is my lifetime nail spot now!

I had an appointment and they did not deliver. Mind you the salon was empty and there was two nail…read moretechs. I did not finish until after being there for three hours with only a pedicure because they took that long and I have an infant and they expected me to still wait after I told them we have been here for over three hours. I stated I wanted to keep my natural nail, however well filing my nail was cut down so then I asked just to cut all my nails off because at that point, I was already frustrated. End of story. I paid $100 for basically nothing. I will never come here again. I originally booked a gel x manicure and smoothie pedicure. I did upgrade to the milk and honey pedicure, which was $60 but I should not have paid $100 for basically something I could've done at home. I usually do my own nails or go to a salon and having an infant and has been easier going to a salon but again, I will never be coming back here, even if it's the last salon in the city. Send, they had the nerve to get upset when I said to cut my nails when they had messed up and already had me there for over three hours with an appointment. I am used to being in a salon no more than an hour and a half. I could understand if I was waiting three hours because they were completely booked but when I got there, it was only one lady in the chair, so there was no reason that I should have waited three hours. And by the time I stood up to leave after my pedicure was done. I was told that she could see me for my manicure. Yes, her art is good but service is unsatisfactory.

I usually don't like to write negative reviews of places unless the service is just unacceptable; this would be one of those times. I came to River Nail Spa for the first time back in January of this year, and had a pretty bad experience where the tech was rude, impatient & made the whole experience uncomfortable. It was so bad that I asked to speak to a manager who I felt like was accommodating because she sounded concerned and even plead for me to give the shop another chance by compensating with a $25 gift card. I followed through on the offer a little over 6 months later, chalking it up to maybe the tech just was having an off day that day. ‍ Absolutely not. This experience was actually worst than the first one! Firstly, I wasn't greeted when the lady started on my nails, which I was just having a fill done. Being that I've worked in Customer Servive before, that's always a red flag for me but no biggie. But then she asked me where did I have my nails done prior and when I told her the name of the shop she made a face of disgust & started laughing with the tech that was next to us. I asked her what was funny, and she ignored me. Asked her again, was there something "particularly" funny abt having my nails done at that shop as other customers tried to catch a glimpse of what you would assume to be a butchered job based on the tech's reaction. I've never been so embarrassed! The shop I had previously went to did not do a bad job at all & even if they did, isn't that bad business to bad talk them in a sense? And I'm here at THIS shop now so what difference does it even make? Totally unprofessional. I told the lady that the other shop was good just with their Customer Service alone & she rolled her eyes as she proceeded to continue to make the entire visit uncomfortable which I was forced to believe she was only doing it to be passive aggressive because I couldn't think of any other logical reason! Examples being that she said they didn't have the color I requested even though I was told by another tech that they did, snatching my hand when it was time to switch between them, being rough with the file, sighing every few minutes like it was such a chore for her to be there, and another incident where she asked if I wanted her to cut my nail, and before I could answer, she just did it anyways! Overall, this shop honestly shouldn't be in business because of the way they treat their paying customers and I will NOT return! What's even crazier is that there was another lady at the same time as me that was having multiple problems with them as well! One of the problems being a language barrier that she had to keep informing the other techs on what to tell the guy doing her nails and I literally watched him just get up & leave towards the back when the lady said something wasn't done right due to him not being able to understand. ‍ The nails are decent but it's not even worth it if you're going to be treated poorly the entire time. Getting your nails done is supposed to be a relaxing experience for women, not an uncomfortable one! I actually feel bad for any paying customer that gives them their hard earned cash to only be treated so poorly! I didn't even know their overall reviews were THAT bad until I went to write my own & saw their score & as well as other people who had similar experiences! I highly do NOT recommend!! https://www.facebook.com/100000575493524/posts/4764605613568575/ read more

I wanted to take my very pregnant sister in law out for a very relaxing pedicure since she's 2 days away from having her baby, man was this the WRONG place to go!! Lets just start with the wait time .. when we got here there were quite a few people in line before us but luckily they were all waiting to have their nails done so we got in and seated quite fast. Unfortunately this place is severely understaffed and my sister in law and I ended up waiting well over and hour before anyone was able to even start on our pedicures, we got here at 3pm and at 4:15pm is when they finally started the pedicure!! Also, it's a Saturday afternoon and this place has very few people working which only creates more waiting .. the service I got from the young women who actually did my pedicure was awesome, she did a great job, was very talkative and understandable which is hard to come by but, I enjoyed her conversation. The problem here lies with the manager .. they need more people plain and simple, to limit wait time and boost the amount of customer who come through the doors. read more

This was my first time going to a nail salon and I have to say that they have amazing customer service! I had booked an appointment over the phone and then called a day prior to my appointment asking if I could switch my appointment and they were very accommodating. I walked in and immediately was welcomed by the friendly staff! Madi did my pedicure was very friendly and made my experience a whole lot better considering it was my first time getting a pedicure, not to mention she did an excellent job on my toes!! I was then transferred to Isabel who did my nails and was very understanding of minor details I wanted to switch up and really listened to what I wanted and also did an amazing job on my nails!! I was worried reading these reviews since it was very hit or miss, but I definitely will be going back! read more

All I have to say is that this is how a nail salon should work out of all the places I have been to. This place has great customer service and every single one of the staff does a great job with their work! They are now under a new ownership so they take appointments now!!! This place actually tells you the CORRECT approximate waiting time unlike other nail salons. This was very helpful for myself because I actually went to do some things that was important during that time range rather than just sitting and waiting. After that, I came back around 30 minutes and they got me right in!! I was very satisfied with their work and I look forward to coming back! read more

I had my lash extensions done by Linda and I couldn't be happier! The volume and length were absolutely perfect. They were full, fluffy, and natural-looking. I experienced minimal shedding, and my lashes lasted three weeks before needing a fill (honestly, they could've gone longer but I wanted a full set before vacation!) Linda is not only incredibly skilled but also so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole appointment relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend her if you're looking for long-lasting, beautiful lashes and a great experience overall! read more

Love this place!! This place is now under a new management which has changed in a positive way. Everything in the shop looks very clean and they added new tables which looks great! They also have added over 200 more new gel and regular polishes which is fantastic! I visited this place a few days ago getting a gel manicure and pedicure and it turned perfect! The staff was very friendly and they have great customer service. I surely recommend you this place and you will walk out the door feeling satisfied and happy with their work. read more

Found this gem of a nail salon when I moved out here and absolutely love it! Nelly is the best nail tech around - so friendly and easy to talk to and does a great job every time. I also love JP running the front desk. He's such a hard worker, friendly and fun to talk with. I make it a point only to come on the days he's working because he always brings a smile to my face! This salon wouldn't be the same without JP and they're very lucky to have him! read more

I had made an appointment for 1:15 with Lily except she had car trouble and was not able to make it. Vanessa was my technician and what a wonderful job she did! I had my nails originally done in Orange County I won't name establishment they were a ripoff compared to River Nails! I had a manicure and gel nails for a fare price. I was treated with respect and Vanessa was very professional. I highly recommend this place and Vanessa! I will be back! read more

Love, Love, Love this place!!!! I use to go into Hemet to get my Pedicures/Nails done...it never turned out to be a relaxing time as I had hoped. When River Nails opened by my area of residence I was excited to try them. I have been a customer since they have opened for business and I will say, I have never been to another one since! They are all so friendly and helpful. The owner will go out of her way to preserve customer experience. read more
