Have been going to First Nails and seeing Heidy for about a year now for regular appointments for acrylics. My nails are always shaped so well, they and strong, and always look so good! Anytime I have ever had to wait. They are always super apologetic and try to do whatever they can to accommodate and ensure all of the customers that are seeking service are well taken care of despite how busy they may be. Best nail service I have ever had in New Mexico! read more

I really needed a mani/pedi. Vicky did a great job. I picked out the tangerine scented package of pedi creams and muds, etc. It smelled great. She gave me a thoroughly relaxing massage on both my feet and hands and trimmed my nails and rounded them off for me. The place was dead today. Just me a man getting his done and me. Lots of workers just sitting around waiting for customers to walk in. Lots of conversation in Vietnamese, which I do not understand. I hope more people go to this salon to get a wonderful mani/pedi too. read more

I've tried a few places and I just keep coming back here because they really are some of the greatest. I told Kyle why I wasn't consistent before because her husband was a little rough with my nails but he really is the best. He gets in there and really cleans the nails, he cleans my cuticles and does it right. I get the most compliments when he does my nails. My friends laugh at me because of this story! Long story short he is my nail guy now and if he is not available I ask for Kyle. When I get a pedicure I like to request Lyn and if she isn't available I just wait for her. I'm just thankful I found my salon after all our ups and downs lol. I recommend First Nails. read more

LY is the the best bail and pedicure technician there , I'll wait for her for an appt . Thanks LY

Horrible service, you either end up with a nail tech that doesnt care or wants to but seems over worked. Quality of work done is not worth then money. My gel nails only lasted 3 days and I wasn't even asked how I wanted them. All they asked was cut or file and what color. My friend got acrylic s and they didnt even fit her nails. She had to ask twice for the tech to cut them and the tech just did what she wanted. Not worth the $120 for a basic manny/petty. read more

First i got a pedicure. I am a barefoot girl so she had her work cut out for her, haha. My feet are beautiful again, thank you. Next i got a full set of acrylic nails. They also came out so beautiful . Everyone was so nice and friendly. The salon was clean and inviting. I dont live in NM but if i did this would be my go to place. Thank you. read more

Came here because my daughter recommended it. I usually go someplace else. Lots of up charge here. The lady tries to do the job quickly. She is nice but I'm afraid I prefer a place that s more personable. They work very fast. Lady kept wanting to up sell. While the lady did good, I will keep with my usual place read more

I had a mani/pedi before a trip early September. The Pedi was fine, I enjoyed the massage & foot buffing & the polish has lasted. The manicure was just okay & the polish is chipping which is understandable with only one coat. Maybe this is the norm but I've had 2 coats in the past. I was charged much more than the stated prices for what I got & was so puzzled & shocked I just paid & left. I don't speak Vietnamese & Vicky's English is limited & I had no idea who was in charge to question or complain to. I later wrote an email to the business but haven't gotten a response. If you know what you need & what to expect this place may be okay but I felt ripped off & disrespected. read more

Tina does my pedicures and does a great job. I suggest you try her. Always available and does what you ask and is great at customer service. Thank you Tina read more

I was told I needed to try this place for a pedicure. I was not disappointed I've actually paid so much money at other places and this was the first time I really got a massage on my legs. She took her time I was really relaxed and enjoyed it all. The only thing I wish she would have scrubbed my heals a little bit more but over all it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend! read more

I had an appointment at 9:00AM, this was when they apparently opened, however, there was already 3 other people getting services. I booked the earliest time available because I had work at 10:30. She insisted I come back, but I have a very tight schedule, so she said someone would be with me shortly. I requested a pedicure. I waited 40 minutes, before I HAD to leave. Or else I would be late to work. I waited at the front to be addressed or possibly reschedule, or receive a discount but they ignored me. Awful customer service. This is not the first time they have disappointed. I have to be out of town and now my toes are ugly. Won't be back. read more

First Nails - My service requested. - Nail Salons Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Nails turned out great however, it took 3 hours for my friend and i to get a mani-pedi. they are pretty short-staffed and weren't able to do our fingers at the same time. we weren't seated by eachother when our fingers were getting done either, i had to go out of my way to get a chair to sit by my friend. :/ one of the employee's toddler ran behind the counter and stuck a brush in her mouth. the nail tech then proceeded to brush my friends hand with that same brush without cleaning it. there were other brushes around him that he could have used as well. the nail tech also kept pressuring my friend to post a review specifically about him. read more

First Nails - my nails a week later - Nail Salons Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

The nail industry has changed since Covid and this place is no different The spa is no longer an hour with 4-5 different muds, creams, scrubs with various massages at $35-45.00 NOW it's $50.00 or more here for 30 minutes SO no longer tip because it's such a shame that no longer "spa treatment'". No more nail designs like the photos they advertise in the window to beckon you in. It's a cattle call and I feel tipping for lack of a awesome treatment for hand and feet is gone. So keep charging high will absorb the tips. Take CASH avoid high price of using your own money on debit and credit cards again another reason to no longer tip no out of the way service as it use to be. We all need a mani/pedi and it use to be our splurge and now it's a nail service and not a spa treatment for that my tip will go to someone who has earned it and this isn't the place for tipping. All the chatter is in their language which means they are talking about the customers so take your translator app and you can read what they are saying just try it! read more

I am a long time RN and Esthetician. Great people. Do NOT have sterile cuticle scissors...??? Takes it out of drawer dips it in blue solution container then after using wipes it off and PUTS BACK INTO DRAWER!!! Whoa!!! dear Lord!!!

Brought my sister out to get her nails done for Mother's Day, was able to walk in for two new sets which was really nice. Larry took care of me and did a phenomenal job on my nails. Shape is very important to me and he got it right away. Unfortunately the nail tech my sister was working with (Bic I believe) got very upset that my sister wanted a couple nails a little longer and removed all of the nails she had done. Thankfully the rest of the staff is so helpful and accommodating so she was able to get a new set that she loves. Overall I think it's a great business, I'm aware some days are harder than others while you're at work, but it's not okay to lose your cool ‍ read more

I wanted to treat my son and his girlfriend to a pedicure while they were visiting for Thanksgiving. I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate 3 pedicures at the same time. The woman on the phone said they could and we went right over. They filled 3 tubs for us and told us to sit down. One manicurist started to work on my son's feet. No one else came in until his pedicure was almost done. Then someone else came in and started his girlfriend's. When someone finally came in to work on my feet, I had been sitting there in cold water for over an hour. The pedicure itself was adequate, but not good. I gave 2 stars because my son said his mani/pedicure was pretty good. Then they charged me extra because I didn't have cash. The woman kept asking me if I wanted to go to an ATM and come back. In pedicure sandals?? Never returning and I would not recommend. read more

I have been going here for months and each time the prices have been different! TODAY WAS THE WORST ITS EVER BEEN! I have 2 girls that came in for a gel mani and just a pedicure. A 6 and 9 year shouldn't cost me almost $80!!! Then to have my toes done which I didn't get lotion on my legs or a massage and it was $32!! I then get dipping powder with French tip and then that cost me over $60!!!!!! With too included which I felt pressured it was $247 at the end!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!! I feel like I was taken advantage of in every way! Unfortunately we will never return and will make sure others don't go there!! read more

Super happy with the full set and pedicure they did for me today. It was my first time in, I scheduled to do a full set with Larry because he had good reviews on Google. I brought an inspo pic, and he did a wonderful job! I'm so happy with how they came out. Even though I wasn't scheduled for a pedicure I asked if they could do one and to my delight they were able to fit me in. Nancy did my pedicure and did a great job. Prices are also very reasonable. I'd highly recommend this nail salon for anyone looking for a good one! read more

I had high hopes for this spot! I went here once a few months ago for a pedicure and had a male doing them. He was rough with cutting the toes and cut my pinky toe down so low that it was painful to walk. They looked beautiful other than that and it wasn't too expensive for a gel pedi so I figured it was a fluke and decided to try them once more. Same thing happened! See photo for cut toe! They're nice and the spot is clean but don't get a pedi here read more

First Nails - Sitting in #6 Pedi Chair - Nail Salons Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

My friend and I had 9 o'clock appointments for pedicures this morning. When we showed up, The door was locked and no one was there. We waited and someone came strolling up at 9:15. We went inside and found the lady eating. We told her we had 9 o'clock appointments and she said oh, then I will call somebody to come in and do the other pedicure. Needless to say we left as we wanted both our pedicures done at the same time and did not wanna wait any longer. I had high expectations for this place, but was thoroughly disappointed. . read more

Nice folks. Great mani-pedi for a good price. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed

BEWARE!!! larry does a good job on designs but i can say that your nail health is not his priority. this is my third time going to him for acrylics and needing a new set, he ripped my nails off with another nail tip and proceeded to rip a entire chunk of my nail out. i asked him why he didn't just soak me off and he said that it takes too long, and told me that it was my fault that the nail ripped off because i "take hot showers." their products aren't clean ever, i can see literal buildup on products and tools. that's how you get infections people. beware beware beware!!!! never coming back. read more

My cousin came in for a color change. No manicure nothing . They charged me 25 dollars. For a color felt the need to warn people do not come here, their television is for the comfort of them in a different language they all are only speaking to each other in their language. The place nail techs were pushing off customers to tiger techs the salon was not up to par. What so so ever no wonder they were empty and not thriving. DO NOT GO!!
