    I started going to Rio Nails because I had tried the other places close to me but I didn't like the service. Way too fast paced. I like to keep my nails simple and short because I type and cook A LOT! I booked my appointment with Kim and she delivered on what I asked for! Every single time I went in she already knew what I wanted. The front staff is very friendly, they make sure to get you signed in and sign you up for the rewards. I have enjoyed 15-20% off of my services from the rewards program and they even sent me a birthday gift card! They have lots of options for pedicures as well, very comfortable chairs and they offer you a beverage while you are getting your services done. They also have the hot stone massage for your legs, soooo wonderful! Every time I have gone they always have staff and I barely ever see anyone sitting and waiting. THAT is the best part. They are pretty consistent with their appointment times so if you have a busy day, waiting for someone to come available wont' throw off your schedule.

    I've been to several nail places near me. And I had not found one that left me satisfied. But Rio Nails is the best yet. I walked in one time and they took me right away. I got David and he was amazing. He helped me pick out a color and design and I couldn't be any happier. I need to go soon to get my fill ins. But I will request a pedicure as well. You can't go wrong with Rio nails. I highly recommend this place everyone is nice and professional.

    Ahhhh very relaxing!

    Been looking for a nail place around Stone Oak for a while. Tried a few and they were ok. Well I finally found a place! They took me in right away without an appointment and catered to me to make sure I was happy. They provided a drink and asked if I wanted a chair massage. They Made recommendations and explained what was in each pedicure package. Eric, my nail tech was phenomenal. Very meticulous and went above and beyond. His pedicure was excellent. Everyone at the salon was very attentive and courteous.

    So beautiful in here and so much room, don't feel like someone is breathing down my neck.

    YALLLLLL! I can't even begin to explain my visit here. First time and oh my gosh they treated me so amazing! A frozen margarita but a great drink menu if that's not your drink of choice. The bathrooms are SO clean! The staff made me feel so welcome and they are absolutely the sweetest! They took their time with my pedicure, felt incredible! Eric is the one that did my pedicure, he did an amazing job! Will be coming back every single time, no matter how far I move from Evans rd!! Oh also their music playlist is great!

    Second and last visit to this place.... Where to start? My initial walk in was greeted nicely and told it was about a 10 minute wait. No big deal! Picked my color for my fill and shellac manicure and sat patiently.... a young lady walked in about 15 minutes later and asked what I was waiting for. Told her again was waiting for fill etc... she told me 10 minutes and to pick color which told her already did. She disappeared and then came back a few minutes later and proceeded to take my existing shellac off. Then transferred me to someone else..... the guy who did my nails did not clean the sitting area where the customer prior to me had left and did nothing like me asking him to clean it. No excuses ever for dirty workstation and especially during COVID....Again at this point should have left... He did not speak to me or ask any questions and seemed to struggle with shape. I honestly felt like they could have cared less for my business....He kept adding fill and now my nails are THICK! My nail beds are pretty tiny so I assumed he would file them down. He didn't. My thumbs are square on one side and blobbed on the other and no "manicure" was delivered. No cuticle trim no hand massage...i can honestly say I've NEVER had a worse nail experience..... check out the photos below and see for yourself. Think twice before wasting your money on this place......I'm going to yet another salon to have them soaked off and start fresh.... total waste of time and money

    Loved this salon! I paid for the most expensive pedicure & definitely feel like I got my moneys worth. They take their time with you which feels rare these days. None of the services felt rushed. Helen did a great job on my nails! She was able to do exactly what I asked for. I'll definitely be going back.

    I believe this location has new owners. I'm new to the area and decided to give them a try. I walked in on a Friday afternoon, got seen right away, and the staff was extremely attentive, friendly, efficient (didn't take too long), and exceeded my expectations with the quality of work. Price was very reasonable as well! Very happy! :) give them a try!

    Rio Nails is the best nail salon! They take great care in making sure you're happy with your service. If something is not to your liking they will go above and beyond to make you happy! Def recommend you give them a try!

While I was living in Las Vegas, my naturally thin nails (despite taking tons of supplements and applying daily nail oil!) experienced trauma during a fill, and all of my nails needed extra care afterward -- I spent seven months slugging them with nail oil and thick cream to help them recover. I was so happy to return to San Antonio after the long hiatus and get back in Eva's chair. Before applying gel, she did a very light buff to help protect my natural nails. Thanks to her careful technique, my nails can continue growing out healthy without any further damage. Beyond her skill and attention to nail health, Eva is also so creative and always wears the most inspirational designs. If you want someone who truly cares about her clients while delivering beautiful results, Eva is absolutely the best!

Her nails are fresh and you can clearly see the gel peeling away from her skin around the perimeter Of the nail. And the CUT on her, her nail is not irritation or sensitivity. If a nail is filed correctly, she would not be bleeding in a localized area in that nature. That's not irritation. TF? Very unprofessional to gaslight her. I have been frequenting this place for over a year and have recommended this place multiple times. But as of recently, I've been getting knicked, improperly filed down and had less than ideal results. The service has been inconsistent and it's sad to see this place go downhill. It's even more sad to see that management has not only gaslit me, but very clearly is doing it to other women.

Having Mindy respond was very nice and comforting. I know it might seem silly, but who wants to go spend money to end up not happy and in pain at times if the nail tech doesn'know what they are doing, I don't.. So I did go and had a great appointment. The salon was clean, had relaxing music playing, and nice incense going that wasn't overwhelming either. I had my dipping set removed during my pedicure and had a manicure with a shellac set done. Thank you Mindy and to her staff for making it a perfect first time experience, I will definitely be returning. Pedicure: I had a wonderful and relaxing pedicure with a great massage done by Nick (2nd table to the right wear he sits) took his time, asked me how I was, and the massage was amazing! Nick was very detailed and had the same approach in detail to applying the regular nail polish. Color: ibd It's A Match Advanced Wear Duo - regular nail polish in SeaShell Pink Manicure/Shellac Set: Had a very nice manicure with Kevin (1st table to the right). He took his time to prep my nails, clean up, trim down and shape. He always checked his work when he was finished with one hand and go back for a second look just to make sure everything was good. He applied the shellac with the same amount of detail-not to thin, not to thick-just right. Color: ibd It's A Match Advanced Wear Duo - Just Gel in Seashell Pink, 3 coats of the color

At first he was rude and defensive but then started to be cool which I thought was great because we had a fun conversation!! -- I wanted him in a good mood while he's working on my nails but this guy just doesn't know how to do nails at all!! I even question if he's been to cosmo school or even had a license to do nails! He did my manicure and pedicure used a drill- didn't push my cuticles back or trim them. He did do a decent short massage on one foot/leg was quick with the other. Even my pedicure was a mess and he just smeared it with his finger then female tech came to fix it since he started on someone else. He didn't have me dry my nails- and the coat was too think to dry fast. I tried to warn the new girl that came in but couldn't get her attention. My sister's nails turned out great but a female nail tech did them- forgot her name so just make sure not to go with the male tech. Male tech: if you read this I wish you the best of luck, you're a cool guy but please have someone retrain you to do nails or maybe doing nails is just not for you! You seem miserable doing nails and the results reflect that. I wish I had a good experience and could give 5 stars but this experience was disappointing!

They have 7 nail stations and 8 pedicure chairs with massage. They usually have 4 nail technicians on duty. There are a ton of colors with a large amount available in regular & gel, and some in regular, gel & powder. They will have your tried & true "go-to" in stock as well as most trends. They usually offer complimentary beverages. If they don't, it was simply an oversight...just ask! There is a 5th guy there named John that seems to have his own thing going on. I've never seen him waiting around for customers. He seems to come in for, communicate with, and work on a set schedule of regular clients. If you are one of John's clients, maybe you could write a review detailing what that is all about. I'm usually a short, square, neutral gal, but the owner is happy to embellish me when I get a wild hair for design - think festival or holiday time. Since I'm customarily boring, I always tell her I'm planning design as early as possible so she can schedule appropriately & I don't F Up the remainder of her schedule. She can do aaalllll the things, but if you wait until go-time to request some outrageousness, she may not be able to work it in. They usually get walk ins seated within 5-20 minutes. If they can't get you in , they won't lie to you and have you waiting around for an hour. I have two primary reasons for sticking with a nail salon 1. Quality work. 2. Real people. I never understood people who don't communicate what they expect or say, "whatever you think is best" & then complain when a service isn't what they "expected." Every tech at Lotus has wanted to understand what I want and has worked their best to provide. Every one of them have been uber-nice & respectful to me if I decided on a mid-service change.....they were even nice about a post-service change once, but its probably because that is an extremely rare occurrence for me and I try to be nice & respectful in-kind. Great people. Great work.

Cons: We had pedicures that were described as including 22-minute massages. This equated to basic rubbing, not massaging, and that time included time with the scrub, lotion, and hot stones. For the price we paid, I expect (and have received elsewhere) at least somewhat of a foot/leg massage during that time period. Not all of the paraffin was removed for my husband. Also, the woman doing his pedicure encouraged him to have his nails buffed, which he agreed to, but she did not mention there was an extra charge. This was already during the pedicure, so the service menu was not available at the the time (and as someone who does not get pedicures often, he had no idea that is something that would cost more). We arrived as walk-ins and they said they had availability for both of us. After having us go to our chairs, the woman arrived and started his pedicure while I sat at my chair (no water in the bowl to at least relax and soak). I waited almost 15 more minutes for mine to start. This made no sense since I would need polish removal, polish application, and time to dry. In these situations, it would make the most sense for a salon to start on the customer whose service would take longer. Overall, it was a very basic experience. We will choose one of many other options the next time.
