Terrible job! It's uneven and thicker in some places than others. I had to tell like three times to fix it and she still did a horrible job. I def got racist vibes. If you are a person of color DO NOT come here. They do not sanitize the utensils between customers. She didn't even ask me how my day was going but she was super sweet and talkative to all regulars (non melanated people if you catch my drift) so there was no language barrier. She pulled out the hot towel but by the time it got to me it wasn't hot because she was too busy helping someone else. Overall I will not come back and I will continue in search of a place that appreciates my business. I have attached pictures for proof. Save yourself the trouble and don't come here. read more

Always have the most excellent service from Wendy and her girls . The spa is beautiful , chairs are wonderful and services beautiful and excellent . They are the sweetest most patient people . Even with my paralytic disabled daughter they have taken the time with her to polish each finger that she cannot stretch out . I have been coming here for about 4 years , I always feel confident that it is safe clean and beautiful , a luxury experience with people who treat us more like a friend than a client. The best experience i have ever had with a nail salon . read more

Fantastic service. I have been going there for almost 2 years. It was recommended by 2 ladies who have been clients for 8 years. Everyone is great. My "go to" person is May. read more

I had the pleasure of going to River Nails last Saturday with my daughter. Our experience was wonderful. Linda, Lucy and Cindy took care of us and pampered us to the core. They were professional and did an outstanding job. We will be going back again for sure! read more

Sweet ladies and reasonable prices! I saw a few bad reviews on here, but I agree with another 5-star review that they do not depict the services here. River Nails was lovely! I came here after a recommendation from a colleague and brought my mom and sister for mani/pedis a few days before my sister's wedding. Environment: We came pretty early on a Wednesday so there was only one other woman getting a mani/pedi on the other end of the boutique. The place had a nice charm and a few large screen TVs, clean and professional. They sat us in the first three per chairs and started all three pedicures at once, which was great. The water was slightly lukewarm, but my specialist Wendy I believe asked my preference and heated it right up when I told her I liked my water HOT :) Manicures: I'd spent years getting my nails done every two weeks that it had become really fragile, so since I'd just strengthened and grown out my natural nails again over the last few months, I stuck to a classic manicure with French tips. My mom and sister both got SNS. My mom with French tips and my sister got the prettiest pearl white with her matching white toes because after all, bride vibes 8) Pedicures: We all got the Royal Mani/Pedi, where we could pick "flavors" of scents. I picked grapefruit for those "feeling exhausted" and my mom/sister both picked lavender for "feeling stressed." Both smelled good, but I could smell the lavender over grapefruit from where I was sitting and it was heavenly! Definitely the one I'll pick next time! The pedicure also included a callous exfoliant treatment, sugar scrub, and deep feet massage, and hot stone reflexology. They wrapped our legs in warmed towels, which felt so amazing after the deep feet massages that I could have fallen asleep. So relaxing! Overall, a wonderful experience! All the ladies were so sweet and did great jobs. Mom loved her first pedicure and SNS experience! I will certainly be coming back again and bringing mom with me, thanks River Nails! read more

Always excellent quality manicure and pedicure! Highly recommend this nail salon!!! Wendy is amazing remembering her clients names! read more

This place is horrible. First they insisted on saying that I needed to get dip, however I repeatedly said I just wanted gel. They kept saying my nails were too short, which I don't understand why my nails would be long enough for dip but not gel (funny that gel is just the more expensive option). The polish also chipped 2 hours after I left. i used their new customer 10$ off and the lady was trying to refuse it. Don't go here. They're rude and they definitely used old nail polish on my nails. I added pictures. Got my nails done 12/23 read more

Worse pedicure ever. I didn't get the things listed in the menu selection but paid for it. The staff was super friendly but I just wouldn't come back I've had better pedicures at cheaper places. read more

I was there 1week ago. They shaved my nails so thin that 3 have broken so far. I did a gel manicure and that usually lasts me 3 weeks. Terrible job. Will not return! read more

You definitely only get treated well here if you are a regular. I sat and had a Mani and Pedi and wasn't offered a beverage. In comes this other lady and they're breaking out the wine and mimosas. My nails looked like a blind-folded five year old painted them. Never again. read more

River Nails - Paint all over my cuticles. Unevenly applied top coat. Gel that didn't even last a full 7 days! - Nail Salons Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

We moved here from Fl. Tried several nail salons here in GA. They were all basically the same as Fl. One day my BFF took me here to River Nails, where I now get my acrylic gel nails done since about 5 yrs ago with Wendy. I was so impressed with their service, their quality, accuracy and friendliness Ive been going there ever since. On the way there I pass at least over 20 nail salons and it takes me almost half hour to get there. After going to River Nails, Ive Never even been tempted to try another salon. In Fl us girls were Always trying new nail salons because honestly most all of them rated 1 star service and Im being generous... Our nails came out ok, but never really great. No one ever even said hello in English to any of us at any of All the salons we would try. In the end one ends up just settling because they were all mostly the same. River Nails is not your basic boring nail salon. The owner's kindness alone says A Lot about River Nails. Bonus is they really care how satisfied you are with their service. You will never leave having to just settle with an average nail service... PS:Ive seen a few negative reviews and honestly I don't have a clue Why they were neg reviews. Theres not one time Ive been there and heard anyone complain. They communicate with you. Plus they ask you as they are doing your nails if you like it or is there anything you want done different. So as long as you can talk Im confused how you can leave there and not be satisfied with their service since you can tell them eactly how you prefer it done. read more

I stopped into for a pedicure today and I couldn't be more pleased. Wendy and Cindy were both so kind, the salon was clean and one of the best foot massages I've ever had. Even the other clients in the salon were very friendly. I'll definitely be going back. read more

I am very disappointed with their work ethic. An older female who did my nails painted on top of my cuticles then tried to cut it off and made it look even worst. Two of my nails chipped the same day. I complained and they asked me to pay only for taking off my SNS but the lady that did my nails didn't even apologize or tried to fix them. She seemed angry and didn't want to admit that she did a bad job. It's been only few days since I got them done and I lost one of the nails and as you can see in the photos all of them don't look great. She also did a manicure to me but wasn't able to cut extra skin off (as you can see in the photo). I feel like I would do my own nails better then she did. read more

I have been going to this salon for over 12 years. Wendy is a very professional manager and leader. She gives great service. She is attentive to her customers needs and knows them by name. I started going to this salon at first because it seemed like my nails didn't mess up when I was getting home like they did at other salons. I think they do drying. I have introduced this place to all my friends and we all go together and have a great time. read more

Not worth it. I just needed a polish change, I was barely greeted, place seemed dirty, disorganized and polish colors were very limited. I was told to sit on a table but then they made me sit at another one, without even apologizing. I'm not one to get mad over little things like this but it's common manners... She painted my nails and put the top coat on horribly, didn't spread it evenly and it looked awful after it dried. I was charged $7 for the polish change, and had to tip so $10. The service was poorly executed and of course she didn't clean up the corners and looks like I did it myself, although I probably would've done a better job, for free. Do not recommend this place. read more

River Nails - Did not clean up around corners... - Nail Salons Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I just had an appointment here and I'm very impressed! It's a shame there are two old negative reviews bringing their stars down because this is actually a great place! It's clean inside with comfortable spa chairs that actually give you a massage unlike other places where their chairs never work. The owner is so friendly and welcoming and gives a great pedicure. I got a deluxe mani/pedi for $38, which I think is very affordable. Overall, I feel bad there are two old negative reviews because in all honestly I highly recommend this place!!! read more

It's my hope that anyone considering choosing River Nails Salon and is reading the previous reviews of this business takes note of the dates the reviews were written. I was in River Nails Salon TODAY, my FOURTH visit to this establishment. The staff was as attentive and as professional, and did the best detailed service I have received in recent years, as they did the very FIRST time I walked through their doors. Thanks again to you Wendy and May! You're the BEST, and I'll see you in two weeks! :) I haven't been more pleased to look forward to walking INTO a business and to my leaving happy when walking out. Give River Nails a chance. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wendy is friendly and a great nail technician. I liked how I was not pressured into upgrading my services (although there are services at all levels). I will be back. read more

This has been the ONLY nail salon that I have used for over 20 years! I enjoy coming here because they use good products, give excellent service, and I never feel rushed, even when it is super busy. When I have friends or family visiting, I always bring them here for a special treat. Everyone I bring appreciates that we're always grouped together, so we can visit. My granddaughter LOVES coming here because she gets treated like a princess. I appreciate how I don't get pressured to select an upgrade, even though many services are offered. The prices are reasonable, the salon is clean, and everyone is super friendly. Thank you to Wendy and the entire staff at River Nails! read more

Finally! A nail salon where I can go in, ask for a manicure and pedicure, and get the manicure started when I sit down in the pedicure chair. Even better, it's over and done with before they begin to polish my toenails. Thank heaven I don't have to sit and wait for my nails to dry an additional 15-20 minutes after my toenails are done. I don't get high-maintenance manicures (clean 'em and give me clear polish), so I really don't like waiting! Have tried many places in the Metro Atlanta area, but this is THE first one that didn't make me wait a short eternity! Bravo! read more

Wow, where do I even begin? Look this... for someone that's supposed to have gone to school for this career field you really don't know how to do you job. The sides are not even cleaned up and she didn't even ask me if I wanted to file my nails just went for it to where it looks short and my nails where long and healthy. I couldn't even have stopped her because she was to busy chatting away on her Bluetooth to a friend. This was the owner that did my nails te one that sits in the front knitting and has short hair looks like a boys hair cut! It's sad cause I work 2 doors down from them and I would even refer any of my clients to go and get there nails done with them! If I could put no starts I would! Went straight back to work and took the polish off, sad to say I paid for this to get done ha NO ONE GO HERE THEY SUCK!!!!! read more

I got SNS (with tips) and a signature gel pedicure. It was awesome. I will definitely come back!

Stopped in for a gel manicure on a weekday around 5pm. It was somewhat busy, but they seated me with no wait. I believe it was the owner who did my nails, and she was very sweet and friendly, but extremely rushed. She flew through cleaning up my cuticles just to the bare minimum. I do like my gel polish and they had a ton of colors, and she did keep my length like I asked, just filing them some to shape them up. She rubbed lotion on my hands for about 15 seconds then just wiped it off with a hot towel so she could stop. HAHA. This cost $28. It will be interesting to see how long my polish lasts, but I would probably try somewhere else next time. read more

really appreciated the fast service, but it came at the price of quality. i got sns and wendy didnt even cover ur the entire nail in powder. after she was done she went to her desk to watch netflix. it looks bumpy and crappy on my nails. i asked for rounded and it looks like somewhere between rounded and square which is more ugly than i can put into words. i do not reccomend this for sns but my pedicure turned out great. read more

I used to get my nails done here and then found a place closer to home so haven't been for a while. Went today and am glad it hasn't been on my radar. Part of going to get a mani/pedi is to feel pampered, and I felt so hurried it stressed me out. Not the goal. And I feel like I still need to go back for them to finish. Kind of sad experience overall, feel like I need to go to another place and get the enjoyable experience it should be. read more

I love the customer service Owner Wendy and her staff give! Very attentive and very clean!

I have been going to Wendy and team for over 10 years. Tracy and Angie always do an exceptional job. Nothing but a positive experience every time I go. As with any business, when you hire new employees, some are better than others. You just have to get aligned with the ones that understand your preferences and deliver. I have been very fortunate to find that with Tracey and Angie. read more

They were great and the service was wonderful. May gave a relaxing foot and calf massage

I really hate to have a mani pedi, but do so for grooming purposes. I've gone to many places in the East Cobb area to get this service and always end up wishing I had gone to River Nails instead. They always greet me like I'm their favorite customer (although I'm sure at the most I look vaguely familiar to them) and make me feel welcome to be there. Their massage chairs always work, and they do the manicure at the same time as the pedicure, which saves me time. The establishment is clean and the staff is friendly. It's my "go to" place to get my nails done. read more

The absolute worst mani/pedi ever! The water was cold, the pace much too rushed and the service was much more like a "polish change" than an complete mani/pedi. The ladies seemed more interested on getting back to their cell phones and even the polish was applied unevenly and too thick. The selection of polish colors was limited and seemed old. Stay away, not worth it!! read more

I am pretty sure this will not get on the sight, if River Nails is controlling this. Do NOT, I repeat do NOT ever get a wax there. I am headed to the beach tomorrow and I had a wax there yesterday, and I will be wearing shorts the entire vacation. I am bruised and have open sores from this wax. Stay away, VERY far away!!! read more

Wendy and her employees do a FABULOUS job! I have gone to a few other places and they don't take near the care that they do at River Nails. I went to another place to get my feet done and they actually hurt me, so I have decided that even though I have moved a bit farther away, I won't go ANYWHERE else. Thank you!!! read more

I took my 11 year-old daughter, and had the BEST time! The technicians were attentive and friendly. I will go back!

My daughter and I went there to had our nail done last week. My daughter had a gel mani, the new tall girl who give my daughter the gel Mani dont even know how to cut the Cuticle an the gel come off less then a week. My daughter is not happy about her nail at all. read more

Service was good, but make sure they cannot adjust the tip amount. I left a $6 tip and new what my total was. I go to review my statements, and realized that I got charged an additional $20.00. Knowing what I wrote as the total, I knew that the cashier could have easily written in herself an additional $20 tip and change the total amount. read more
