I have been here multiple times now and can confirm they are consistent in both services and safety. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their nails done. When it comes to Covid safety- they rock!! Appointments ensure social distance. Upon entry my temperature was taken and I was directed to hand washing station to wash my hands. When it comes to price- you get a lot for your money!! Pedicures are great and the time for the price is much better than others in the area. Quality- beautiful work! I'm spreading the word- because it's hard in these uncertain times to come to a place like this and truly be able to relax ... and this place is the place for me to do that without anxiety !!! read more

Ok so the pedicure was fine. What I felt was unwelcome the entire time. If you are not a regular you will get no conversation, no smile. Begrudgingly given a pair of those little flip flops after asking for them. I had a gift certificate. Only reason I went. There are plenty of places to go for a pedicure around here so I won't be going back. read more

I must admit I am pretty upset to have to leave this review. But it is warranted. I have been going to this salon for a very long time. Last Sunday they cancelled my daughter and my's appointment at the last minute for an illness. Get it. Yesterday I had an appointment at 3. I called at opening with no answer (twice) and left a vm to cancel my appointment. They charged me $25. I called to ask for grace as a decade long client and they basically told me to take a leap. Finished. Nail salons are a dime a dozen. Be nice. read more

This place is fantastic--it's tidy and has a welcoming staff. They really take their time with your nails, ensuring everything is perfect. I highly recommend it! read more

I had the displeasure to go to Zaya today for service. Paid for a pampering pedicure and received sub par service plus an attitude. I didn't even book with her, they switched at the nail place. The owner is great, her one staff is not. Hope this improves or not worth coming back to. read more

My daughter and I got our nails done here on Saturday. its was our first time there. Everyone was very nice and knowledgeable. We will probably go back there again. read more

I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone visit River Nails and Spa when they need their nails done. They remain the best salon in Great Falls. Melinda did an amazing job repairing a cracked toenail today that had been bothering me for months. I am beyond satisfied with the service they provided today. I know all of their customers are treated the same way I was - special! If you haven't been here yet, please make an appointment and get there soon! read more

Prices are very reasonable, the space is beautifully decorated, the staff was very friendly and efficient. They did a lovely job! They offer kids services and prices that are some of the best I've seen in this area. I will definitely come back again. read more

My polish chipped two days after my manicure. The basic manicure is quite "basic" compared to other salons around and is quite pricy for what it is ($70 for basic mani+pedi). That said, the ladies working there are nice and the place is clean. read more

Favorite nail salon in great falls! Best manicures around! I travel from DC to get my nails done here. The salon is clean and relaxing. It feels like going to a girlfriend's house but better! The staff is super attentive to your natural nail shape and health which makes a huge difference in the manicure and pedicure. Can't wait to go back!! Note: highly recommend making reservations! I've never had luck walking in (reservations are WELL worth it!) read more

Excellent service! The salon is beautiful, the staff are very welcoming, and I am so happy with my manicure!

The salon is clean and calming. My friend and I went to get pedicures and opted for the Rhône service since we were treating ourselves as she came from out of town. Overall, everything was just ok. Both of us felt that the treatment for the buffing of our heels was inadequate, and we both left with the cracked heels we came in with. Considering this was $50 and not cheap we were not impressed and I will look elsewhere for better service. read more

River nails! This is the place to be. The service is incredible, the atmosphere immaculate, and the work they do is fantastic. I have been here several times and can not recommend this place enough!! If you're looking for a place to keep returning to, this is it, wait no longer. I have been to many nail salons and this is by far the very best! Thank you guys for your great service!! read more

Not the best pedicure I've had...and I did have pretty high expectations given the zip code I was in. Went during mid day on Saturday and it was moderately busy...maybe three other people there but I think they we're short-staffed that day so the service was a bit slow. There wasn't anything wrong with the service I received but I felt kind of obliged to give a higher tip with how some of the other patrons spoke down to the staff here which was completely unwarranted. Sometimes I hate coming to neighborhood's like Great Falls where some of the people here think that they are better than anyone else that isn't in their tax bracket. All that being said, I loved the chairs and the environment itself was very comfortable. Tips are cash only, so make note of that. read more

Had a lovely experience in the moment, and the salon is beautiful and clean, but I spent $40 for a gel manicure on Thursday then two days after two nails started to lift near the cuticle, two days ago one of the nails chipped, and yesterday one other completely lifted off. I have had standard manicures at other salons that have lasted longer, and I opted for gel at this salon because I needed the manicure to last for my engagement photos. At least my ring hand is fine.... I would not recommend this salon based on the quality of work I received. An expensive gel manicure should last longer than 5 days. read more

See all

I can't remember the last time I had such a precise manicure. No one thinks about that until it's over and you're sitting in your car looking at your nails, but it's easy for these places to neglect those tiny details. But my nails are perfect. Like, not a single drop or bubble of polish out of place. That's rare, and should be greatly appreciated! read more

My bridesmaids and I decided to get mani/pedi done for my wedding at River Nails and Sp and I could not have been more happier with the decision! A few highlights to mention: _Interior is modern, luxe and chic. _Clean and appealing to the eye. _Nail techs are skilled and did a fantastic job on our nails. _Service is a 10/10. _Competitive prices. I can't wait to go back and get my nails done again! read more

I'm not sure if river nails is under new management... however I have been coming here since it opened. The prices have gone up 2x and I have been away at school and stopped into today with my mom and we were blown away with how expensive it was- wish we would have been made aware of these changes. I feel as though it is not worth the money at this point - it's a shame used to be my fav place... they take every chance to upcharge... we will not plan on coming back read more

Can't say enough about this beautiful salon! The environment is calming and plush and the service is more than 5 star. Melinda and her crew will not disappoint. The SNS nails they can do are nothing short of perfection! If you haven't been yet you need to check this one out! read more

Nice looking pedicure but got a skin rash from the products or foot tub. Not returning.

I have been a loyal customer for the past 4 years. The nail technicians always go above and beyond. Melinda, the salon owner, is always there to make you feel special, offer a cup of coffee or tea, cookies, chocolates. Highly recommend them. read more

I absolutely loved my pedicure today my toes look amazing. The salon is beautiful so elegant and just relaxing. Cannot wait to come back for both a mani and a pedi. Thank you guys soooo much! read more

Had a wonderful gel manicure from Melinda. River Nails is clean, quiet, and relaxing unlike some of the other salons in Great Falls.

Up until it was suggested that I try the powder nails I was getting gels. A few weeks ago I try the SNS powder nails and I must say they are the most beautiful nails that I have had as far as I can remember. The technicians at River nails are highly skilled in all kinds of manicures but they did an incredible job with this new type. Besides looking absolutely natural and beautiful I understand that it does lasts longer than gel nails which is why it also caused a bit more but well worth it read more

I came here a few weeks ago for a pedicure and it was great! I chose the Rhone Signature and paid an additional $10 for extra massage time. The prices are definitely comparable to other salons and all of the staff members were very friendly. One of the other girls I was with even asked for an eyebrow wax after our pedicure and - although they were busy - they still accommodated her request quickly. They use all organic products and have a wide variety of colors to choose from. I highly recommend! read more

Today my mom and I got a manicure and were very impressed by this place. Clean, beautiful inside, and great service. Would definitely recommend! read more

Beautiful spa and excellent service from the whole team! Highly recommend the luxurious pedicures and massage services. SNS powder is a great alternative to gel. Love, love this place! read more

I've been a regular here for a while and must say I love this place. The owner Melinda is absolutely wonderful, always makes sure her staff is on point. The place is really cozy, very clean environment and I never have trouble getting an appointment. If you're looking for a rushed treatment, this is not the place for you. But if you want to come hang out with really nice staff and unwind, it's perfect. read more

They were great! I went in for a mani/pedi, and they took me right away and did a great job! They only note I would have is that they don't have the massage chairs that most other places have. Overall, great service and great place! read more

Loved my experience at River Nails! They were very professional, yet personable. The interior is everything!

Beautiful, modern salon. Was able to make an appointment for three of us on the same day. Lovely decor and very clean. Pedicure was great and not rushed. It's a bit strange that they don't have the typical massage chairs, but it wasn't really a big deal and I actually think it was nice to not have them for a change. The only other minor thing to note is that they don't have your typical OPI or Essie brands polish, so if you are particular about a certain color be sure to bring it! They did have enough options to choose from though, and it's still day one of my polish but it looks like it should hold! read more

one bad experience so far. I live within walking distance to this nail salon and have been at least 7-8 times since finding it and have had very good experiences all of those times- the technicians are sweet and thorough, the place is clean and cute, and the polish color selection is vast. I went yesterday and saw a technician I've never seen there before, I got her name but will refrain from writing it here. I think I'd been to every girl who works there so far, this was a new one. She had a headphone in her ear listening to music the whole time- no problem didn't feel like chatting either. During the pedicure I got the feeling she had 'tude, but she kept to herself so I didn't care. During the gel manicure, I told her right before she applied the color that I like to go through the UV light twice after each layer is applied. (In my experience, it helps the gel polish cure and last a little longer.) She said ok. Then after the first cycle of the UV light went off and she was painting my other hand, I asked her to please turn the light on again, she said "no." I figured she misunderstood me. So when she told me to switch hands, I asked her to turn the light on, I wanted to do it twice. She said "no, it doesn't matter." I said "I've noticed a difference between 1 and 2 light cycles." She huffs, turns the light on, and stands up and walks away in this rushed, annoyed way. After the light went off, she wasn't back at her seat yet, so the girl who sits next to her (who I've been to and like very much, Khulan) turned the light on again without saying anything. Ok, even if it were the most ridiculous request in the world, she should have done it without the attitude. AND IT WASN'T. It added a total of like 4 minutes to the time the manicure took. She just had such the attitude, and if she had pushed back once more I would have wound up getting in a fight with this girl in middle of the nail salon where I'm trying to CHILL! The only good thing I will say about her is that she actually did a really good job on my nails. They look good. She was super thorough, just a total B! I tipped her, just less than I ordinarily would. read more

This salon is clean and beautiful! The staff was very friendly and attentive. My nails look great! I got the simplest mani pedi service but the massage and lotion was still exceptional compare to most other places. I got gel on my fingers and she did a great job. The chairs were big leather chairs but they were extremely comfortable and i could have fallen asleep right there. My mom came with me but didn't get anything done so she sat in their roomy sitting area and said it was comfortable and pretty. The view from a large window while you get your fingers done was exceptional. The colors that they have are great because it has a matching gel and regular polish so I can coordinate my fingers and toes since i don't get gel on my toes. I got the color "grapefruit sparkle" and it is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back and trying more of their fancier services because for the cost, environment, and end result it was worth every penny! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place!! The inside is truly chic and beautiful! I truly enjoyed my pedicure today! I had the Seine Of France and found the price to be great! Service was stellar, offered a drink while I had my pedicure. My massage was AMAZING and I really liked the sugar scrub! Will definitely return! My technician was Oggy. read more

Beautiful new nail spa; comfortable chairs, great service; clean and they offer a beverage while you relax.
