River Nails

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, ValueI went to River Nails for the first time today, and chose them due to their hours, availability, and partially due to location. I recently moved to Casas Adobes area and am looking for a new nail place—I was satisfied! I called ahead about 90 minutes to make sure there was availability, and there was. When I came in there were three employees and just two other customers receiving pedis. I was served right away (even though I was a little early). While the cuticle work was less than gentle, I was very happy with the color. I had read in former reviews about some less than gentle work so I was mentally prepared! I keep my nails very short because violin is a hobby of mine, so it worked fine and my cuticles are awful anyways. There was plexiglass between customers and employees which was very nice, and the chairs were more comfortable than many places I’ve been as well. The individual running the schedule and greeting was very welcoming and brought water bottles around which was pleasant. My total was $30 w/o gratuity. They do clarify they prefer tipping in cash, but could accommodate my need to leave partial in cash and some on card today. Overall it was not the best gel mani I’ve had and it was definitely not the worst; I might try a few other area places before returning but would certainly consider making in a regular haunt.Service: Gel manicuresI went to River Nails for the first time today, and chose them due to their hours, availability, and partially due to location.
