    Milky french tip done by Minh

    I recently got my nails done by Minh at RYU Nail Bar, and I couldn't be happier with the results! She executed exactly what I asked for, and the attention to detail was incredible. My nails came out clean, elegant, and beautifully shaped. I moved to Dublin about a year ago and, ever since, I've been driving all the way to Union City because I couldn't find a local nail tech I truly trusted. After what felt like an endless search, I finally found my girl! Not only is Minh talented, but she also took her time to make sure everything was perfect. The salon itself is clean, welcoming, and has a relaxing atmosphere. If you're looking for someone who can consistently deliver beautiful, high-quality nails, I highly recommend booking with Minh at RYU Nail Bar. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I usually request Kimmy but my daughter's and I have had services from many of the employees here and Its been great. Everyone is warm and inviting. Kimmy is great at helping pick colors and has done a few designs. She likes trying new styles. I'm loving my most recent builder gel set.

    Standard gel mani. So cute!

    My gel nails weren't quite as good this time around. My left hand had a lot of bubbling and cracking (see pic from right out of the salon). Still a very clean, relaxing environment and friendly service. But the mani wasn't quite as tidy as last time, which was disappointing.

    The set I received was alright, they had to switch me to a different Artisan because the other seemed to give up. I was much happier with the guy, he did amazing work. I say that Janet gave up, but now I wonder if she ran away. She got red nail polish all over my sleeve. When I reached out to the salon, they reimbursed me for dry cleaning, $7.77. The cleaners could not remove the stains. The Salon asked for information, brand, etc. I provided these. I don't have any other information, so they have decided to do nothing. Wear your grubbies, Janet might jack up your cute top. I paid over $180, but they can't cover a $30 top.

    Minh Minh and her team always do an amazing job at RYU. I really want to shine some light on her & her staff for handling a challenging situation that happened Saturday 12/20 with such grace and professionalism. There was a customer who was beyond unhappy with their service. Instead of Minh Minh getting upset she was calm & listened carefully to resolve the issue. It was impressive to watch her and her staff maintain composure to make sure the customer was heard. Even when the dissatisfied customer was making a scene in front the whole salon. The staff did not act aggressive or rude when handling this tough situation. Regardless of witnessing this altercation. Loyal clients at RYU have class & respect. From my Gel-X to now Builder Gel manicures. YES the green cat-eye is my natural nail length due to builder gel ! The quality and salon service is IMPECCABLE! It's a great establishment to RELAX & DESTRESS! Can't wait for my next set

    Thank you Janet and Tammy for the beautiful tropical vacay inspired nails!!! My daughters showed Janet and Tammy nail design images they found online and both ladies were able to make their nail designs a "dream come true"!!! Great job ladies

    Stopped here to get my gel x removed. Did not have an appointment and found it because it was close to my place, and they were so nice! They were able to squeeze me in and took great care of my nails. She was very precise with her polish placement and took the time to make sure my nails looked good. The place was cute, and the prices were reasonable! They even gave me a little gift bag for the holidays. Will definitely be coming back here in the future!

    My technician Natalie was very kind and walked me through all of my options before starting on my nails. She was very considerate, asking me if I liked my nails at every step of the way, and I love the way they turned out!!! I got gel-x with a design and they charged me $100 for the service, which is relatively cheaper than other salons in our area! I've gotten so many compliments on my nails, I love them! It was also very serene and welcoming inside, they offered me water and had tv playing! I'll definitely come back to Ryu for my next manicure :)

    Beautiful work and amazing service! I'm obsessed with my new nails. The shape, color, and design came out exactly how I wanted. Everyone was so friendly, and the salon was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend. I will definitely be back!

    cat eye nails
    Jane R.

    Second time! This time my nail tech, Tammy, did an amazing job with the Cat Eye nails I have been wanting to try! I thought it was going to be GelX nails again but she did acrylics/dip this time around. I am pretty quiet when it comes to getting my nails done as I use it as relaxation time and she did a great job I almost fell asleep LOL The magnetic process is super cool with the Cat Eye nails and it's so pretty! Next time I would get other colors done.

    French brow nail

    Tammy created a French brow mani masterpiece for my nails before a special occasion. Thank you Tammy for an incredible, clean gel manicure!

    I've been looking for a place to do my nails, and my cousin highly recommended I go to RYU. The place has a good vibe, cozy, and super welcoming. I booked my appointment with Minh Minh, who my cousin swears by, and I get it now. She has a really warm personality, easy to talk to, made the whole appointment feel relaxed. I had a hydrangea nail art design in mind, and she delivered. The work was clean, detailed, and had some personal touches. Overall really solid experience. I'll be back.

    Best manicure ever

    The best nail salon experience so far. Natalie replicated a nail inspo to the tee. She's the artist!!! My mind was blown away. Tammy did mine. Elegant and pristine. Not featured in the picture is my pedi. Janet is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend RYU nails Salon. I keep coming back here!!

    This place is very nice. My daughter and I needed to get our brows done and I found this place in…read morethe area. The front desk asked what we needed and we were serviced right away. $15 for brows not bad!

    - Extremely Poor Customer Service…read more I am very disappointed with my experience at Threads Beauty Bar. I called Priti (P-R-I-T-I) the receptionist at 1:00 PM to ask if the threading specialist I like was available. She told me yes, the specialist was available today and also tomorrow. I explained that I live an hour and a half away and specifically drive out for this particular service provider because she does great work. Priti said that was fine and told me there were no appointments scheduled, so I could come in anytime. At 2:35 PM, I called back to confirm that I would be coming and asked if there was an appointment available. She said they had an opening at 3:15 PM. I said that would work. She then abruptly hung up without taking my name or confirming anything. When I arrived and parked, I called back because I realized she had never taken my name to hold the 3:15 appointment. I had my seven-year-old daughter with me, who is sick, so I wanted to be sure the appointment was secured before bringing her inside. Priti told me she could not put my name down unless I physically came into the salon. I did not understand why my name could not simply be written down over the phone, especially since she was the one who hung up without confirming details. Then she started to say, show me your car .. I will come out to see you in your car so I know you are here. I got frustrated because why would I want anyone to see my car when I'm trying to give her my name for the appointment?! She said she doesn't believe me that I'm here and calling to put my name on the time, I was so confused! The situation escalated unnecessarily. Instead of resolving it professionally, she involved someone named Neil, who told me they would not service me and that I had to leave. For someone who drives 1.5-2 hours specifically for their services, this level of rudeness and lack of professionalism is unacceptable. Clear communication and basic courtesy would have prevented this entire situation. Unfortunately, due to the poor and dismissive customer service, I will not be returning. I will also report this to the business bureau.

    To tDouglas M- this is my reply to you! As someone who works in customer service, this review…read morehonestly reads less like constructive feedback and more like someone looking for something to be upset about. A short wait, a staff member stepping away, or a moment of confusion is normal in any business -- especially one that's clearly served you well for years. Most people understand that. What's disappointing is seeing a long, dramatic write‑up over something so minor, especially when the employees you're criticizing are real people doing their best. Turning a brief inconvenience into a public takedown doesn't make the business look bad -- it highlights how unforgiving and unrealistic some customers have become. If this is the worst thing you've experienced here after years of good service, that actually speaks volumes about the quality of the staff. Not every moment needs to be escalated into a Yelp saga. A little patience and basic empathy would have gone further than this review did.

    I have been coming here for years, even when it was lunch box, and never had a problem, until now…read more So I'm giving them 3 stars but normally I would give 5 stars (if this was my first or second time, it would be 1 star and I would not return). I come in once or twice a year, usually before a beach type vacation to get my back waxed. They have always had someone at the front desk when I walk in, but not this last visit. Let me mentioned before getting into it, the place is always clean, the entrance, Hallway and wax rooms. The wax service is always fast, professional and as relaxing as it can be getting waxed. I never had a scheduling problem until now either. This last experience was not good. I arrived at 1030 my scheduled time, but no one was at the front desk, but I could hear someone talking on the phone in the room behind the desk. I waited 5 minutes figuring they would come out, but no, so I start to ask if anyone here? No response for 2-3 min, so I asked again, then a lady with black and purple hair comes out of the room and say someone will be right with me and turns back around into the room to continue to talk on the phone, as if I was bothering her at work!! Then a few minutes later, another person comes out from down the hall (I think she was actually with a client) and asked if I have been helped, I said no and told her my appointment was at 1030, she tells me the appointment was at 1040 (this was at 1042, already past my apparently rescheduled appointment) and said someone will be with me shortly. Then the other lady that was talking on the phone comes out from the room behind the desks. I sat there about 5 more mins until my wax person arrives, say sorry for being late, and gets ready (it appears they changed the appointment because the wax person was running late), they never told me they changed the appointment time (no text like all the other notifications, which I like from this place). The appointment was never changed on the website, only locally, maybe they just lied for her, and told me 10:40. Oh and no one ever came out of the room behind the desk after the phone call lady, while I was waiting for my room to be ready. It was clearly a personal call at work and she didn't want to be bothered at work. At the end, I still tipped, against my better judgement, a lower 10% rather that the usually 20%. The wax person was late, but apologized. I think I will return because up until this time it has been great, but not sure.
