Riverfront Nail Lounge - gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Quinn did my nails and they turned out beautiful. She was super meticulous and paid super close attention to detail which I really appreciated. The only reason for star-deduction was the $7 surcharge that the salon adds for trimming your cuticles -- a manicure by definition includes removal of the cuticles so it doesn't make sense to charge so much. Still was very pleased with my dip manicure and they lasted a really long time too! read more

I've been coming to this nail salon every two weeks for over a year now and could not be happier with my experience thus far. The staff has always been so friendly and professional, and I've left satisfied each time. They also make you feel like you are royalty by offering a complimentary beverage with each service, such as water, a cold glass of bubbly, a cocktail, coffee, etc. They have so many different colors and all colors come in regular polish, dip, gel etc. - making it incredibly easy to match nails and toes, even if using a different 'type' of polish. My nail tech even gave me suggestions that helped improve the overall quality and strength of my nails, allowing them to grow longer than they ever have before. Also, if you struggle with calluses on your feet, you must try their pedicure #41. I've never seen so much dead skin be removed from my feet and can't imagine not incorporating this pedicure into my ongoing selfcare routine - seriously life changing! I was a regular at a different salon prior where they made me feel bad anytime I asked for a different length, shape, etc. The staff at Riverfront Nail Lounge have never made me feel this way as satisfying their customers is clearly their top priority. Their care and kindness truly make you feel like a valued customer each time you're there. This is the best nail salon I've tried in the city and as always, I am looking forward to my next trip back! Check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

The most beautiful set I've ever gotten ! Also very quick and they give you complimentary drinks

Worst customer service ever. I came in here for the first time and decided to get a pedicure done. The lady was rough on my feet even though I told her she was being rough. She continued. The owner/boss was being rude and ignored what color I wanted on my nails. I left very unhappy. I decided to come back another time, and I had Loc do my pedicure. She did an amazing job. However I called the past few weeks for another nail tech and she hasn't been in. So I will not be returning, because they are rude and mean to their workers. Plus my nails weren't the original color I had asked for. read more

I've tried this spot several times. I like the location. The ladies are nice. It seems as though they need to be an appointment only shop. They have rushed through my nails several times. Which is highly annoying! Especially if I don't mind paying full price or extra. If you can't fit in a walk in, just say your to busy. You don't rush through peoples service. A full set with no design (which I requested) costed me $85. Mind you I'd just left 4 days prior getting a fill. 3 nails broke within 2 days. Costed me $78 dollars. No discount or apology was even offered. They actually seemed bothered that I requested clear tips. Instead of something fast and simple, like a dip powder service. At this point I'm over nail shops and the price for service. It's not just this place but SEVERAL in the Kansas City area. Especially Rivermarket. I won't be back unfortunately. I've tried annoying writing a review on the place for months now. read more

Riverfront Nail Lounge - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The worst nail salon experience of my life - avoid at all costs! I came into this salon with a clear idea of what I wanted--short nails--but the technician completely disregarded me and did the opposite. I repeatedly told them I wanted short nails, but they ignored me entirely and gave me long nails I never asked for. When I tried to express my concerns, they showed no accountability whatsoever. Things got worse when I sustained a work injury, and my nails started breaking off--taking parts of my real nails with them. It was incredibly painful. When I called the salon to explain the situation and request help removing the nails, I was shocked at how unprofessional they were. They laughed at me over the phone and started talking about me in their language, which felt blatantly disrespectful. When I went back to have the nails removed, the technician handled it so carelessly that I was in excruciating pain throughout the process. They showed no concern for my discomfort and continued to laugh and dismiss me as if it were a joke. To add insult to injury, they charged me for removing the nails that they improperly applied in the first place. When I later called back to request a refund for this nightmare experience, they laughed again. Their behavior was outright disgusting--rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional in every way imaginable. Now, thanks to their negligence, my nails are so damaged they won't grow back for another eight months. I've never been treated this poorly in any business. If you value your time, money, and health, stay far away from this salon. They're not just unprofessional--they're dangerous. read more

I Recently scheduled a dip manicure at Riverfront Nail Lounge. I regularly get dip manicures but at other locations in KC. I was hugely disappointed in the service I received. I did not get a manicure but basically a polish change. They did not do any cuticle care and it had been 3 weeks since my last manicure so I knew my cuticles needed some trimming. They also did not use the UV light to bake in the dip polish and there was no after care such as cuticle oil, lotion or massage of my hands and fingers. I am very doubtful this polish will last and I will not return here for nail services. read more

I've been to at least seven different nail salons in the Kansas City metro and Riverfront Nail Lounge is one I will return to. Beautiful, safe location with ample parking. Make appointments conveniently online through their website and receive a text confirmation/reminder. Great variety of color options for regular, dip, and gel polish. Most if not all of the regular polish bottles look brand new, no old bottles. Kind, clean, affordable, quality service. $25 for a regular polish manicure, $35 for a gel manicure, and $40 for a dip manicure. Drink offerings such as wine and even mimosas! Perfect for a leisurely day of brunch and nails with the girls so your bottomless mimosas never end! Plus, 15% off your first visit. I don't necessarily recommend visiting during peak times (evenings and weekend) if you're on a time crunch. Nail technicians take their time to deliver quality service and may be working on more than one customer at once. On a Sunday, I made an appointment online for dip acrylic nail removal and a regular polish manicure. From the time I arrived to the time I left it was approximately 1.5 hours. For the dip acrylic nail removal, the nail technician used the electric nail drill first and then had me soak in a bowl of hot acetone. Then, she clipped and filed my nails, cleaned my cuticles, applied lotion and massaged my hands, and lastly applied the paint - clear base coat, two color coats, and a final clear top coat. Atmosphere wise, I've only been twice, so they may vary between music and TV. However, last time I was there they had MTV playing on the flat-screen TV (a show called Ridiculousness and a Will Ferrell movie). read more

If I could rate them a zero I would. My wife and I set an appointment for late afternoon yesterday to end the weekend relaxing. We were treated very very poorly as of we were not welcome and a bother to the staff. I watched other black people be treated poorly as well and even leave while we were there. The lady was extremely pushy trying to get me to upgrade my service and seemed to Pictish me for asking for warmer water by making it go too hot. She proceeded to grab my toe so tight to the point it hurt. At at point during the service I asked my wife if she wanted me to just pay and we leave. When I realized she rushed my manicure I asked could she clean up my obviously rushed cuticles because I have an important photo shoot today and she got an attitude. The lady doing my wife then tried to take the tool she was using on my wife's toes and use it on me. At this point I said don't worry about it and paid and let them finish my wife. The manager tried to give a discount but I paid in full and still tipped. Being black often comes with mistreatment but this experience was one of the worst I've encountered. If you are black steer clear as it appears our money is no good here. Shameful business. The picture Less than 12 hours after getting a manicure this is how my nails look. This was the final straw, the lady acted like spraying alcohol on my nails was going to make me not realize she did a half effort job if that. Take your money elsewhere. It's one thing to be rude but to be rude, dismissive, RACIST AND offer terrible service takes the cake. read more

Riverfront Nail Lounge - Less than 12 hours after getting a manicure this is how my nails look. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We had a reservation for pedicures but still had to wait almost 30 minutes for our pedis to begin. Immediately the woman doing my toes took an actual chunk out of my toe with the razor tool (see picture), it's still bleeding the next day She barely apologized and didn't give any discount for hurting me. She immediately proceeded to drench the woman next to me while filling her pedicure tub, literally got her wet from head to toe including her phone and barely apologized to her either. Cannot recommend this place at all. read more

Riverfront Nail Lounge - Pedicure tech took a chunk out of my pinkie toe with her razor tool - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I go here once a month now (5 months now) and never have had such a great spa like experience! Unfortunately with my career I can't get my nails done on my hands, but that doesn't stop the ladies from giving me a great manicure and hand massage. The pedicure services is all I can get and I wouldn't trade them! I've been getting my hands and feet done for years and I've been to multiple places in KC, this is my favorite. With the deluxe pedicure you get your choice of so many fragrances (my personal favorite is eucalyptus) a massage (includes some good toe popping) and a paraffin wax treatment!! All for a very affordable price!! You also get a complimentary drink of choice, can we say win?? The ladies always do such an amazing job and my feet are always silky soft, and the colors they have are so vast, vibrant, and beautiful. Very clean, and very polite. Tip them well! (No pics due to not giving away feet pics for free ) read more

Just moved here and was able to make an appt very easily. Got a dip mani and deluxe pedi and everything and everyone was wonderful. Another amazing touch was the free cocktail! Can't wait to go back in a few weeks :) read more

I have came here multiple times and I always enjoy my time, I don't typically get very hard designs so I'm kindof biased when I say my nails turn out pretty... but the most recent time I came , I came with my friend who is not white and I was extremely disappointed with how they treated her, she got a manicure and her toes painted by the time I was HALF way through my pedicure, it was like they were rushing her ? And in the nicest way possible her nails were not nail salon critiqued. They also would not let her get any "specialty" drink, just wine. Would not recommend any colored person come here. read more

Nice ladies, good price, good chairs, just overall a good pedicure. Will be going again. read more

Do not go here at all!!! My wonderful friend a coworker came in to get her nails done and she wanted her nails short she told the lady from the get go and she did not listen to her so her whole nail broke off her finger and now is bandaged up. She back in and they were not nice to her at all she is a very nice lady and can not stand up for herself and they charged her for taking off the nail that broke. Her whole nail came off.. save your money do not go here read more

The service at this nail salon sucks!! I'm new here from Las Vegas and I went to get my nails done there. I will never go to this place again. I was waiting to get my nails done and was waiting for 25 minutes with an appointment. A white woman walked in and they immediately took her and her appointment was after mine. Then they rushed to get my nails done which was ugly afterwards and pushed me out of my seat for their white customer. I believe first impressions are lasting and I received a negative racist impression from the women at this nail shop. I wouldn't recommend this place to any one of the African American descent. read more

I had an excellent pedicure there with lots of extras. I will go back. Parking is convenient making it easy to get in and out of.

If I could give no stars I would! Walked In on a Monday @1 thinking things would be quick in and out, I brought a few inspo pics with me, the lady that did my nails was working with another customer at the time, she stepped over and said just a few minutes, taking off my already done polish from my previous set... plops the colors Infront of me to "pick my color" ie the ones that I showed her (in the photos I verified with her she had the foils and stuff she said she had) I wait 2 hours for her to rush through my set and tells me she actually doesn't have the stuff she said she had in the initial consult. I left with a stupid yellow flower, some UGLY nails and I'm honestly embarrassed... and she said 73.00!?!? I paid it as I'm respectful of time and peoples work... for her lack there of. I'm disappointed and won't be returning. read more

Riverfront Nail Lounge - Nails from this place thumb is horrible and the "marble" is some squiggles. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I came here a couple weeks ago and had a great experience with my mani/pedi. I'm fairly new to the area and have been trying a lot of places looking for a new "home" salon and thought I hit the jackpot. Even though I was a walk in, they had me in a chair with a mimosa within 30 mins. I loved it so much, I decided to bring a friend and made appointments for the both of us, requesting the same technician since she did a great job the first time. Unfortunately, my second experience was incredibly disappointing. They don't seem to honor appointments (or even write them down when people call), and we waited almost an hour past our appointment time before we were seated. I was not offered a drink, I had multiple people working on getting my nails soaked off and in the end, I don't think I ever saw the tech I had requested. I still haven't stopped apologizing to my friend about it... I really talked this place up to her and feel so bad about this experience. I will say that so far, this manicure doesn't look too bad so points for consistency, I guess. Not sure if I'll be back but if I do, I probably won't make an appointment. It's easier to stomach the wait if I'm a walk in. read more

December 13th 10am...I am the only client present and it is my birthday. I specifically asked Tom to SOAK my nails off but he insisted on ripping them off. My left hand was the first victim. He ripped the nails off so badly that one of my nails is pulled away from the skin and has now become infected to a point where no other nail salon will touch it and my nail is blue/green and my finger throbs every day. Upon telling him multiple times he was hurting me, he agreed to soak off the right hand. When I told him I was not happy with the way my nails were turning out, he threatened to cut all my nails off and kick me out. At this point I was scared of him and still the only person there so I stayed quiet. I have been getting my nails done for 15+ years and have never had a situation that resulted in an infected finger that no other nail salon will go near. Avoid this place. read more

I wasn't a fan of this spot. The staff were disorganized and made me wait 3 hours for a dip manicure and basic pedicure even though I had an appt. When it came time to pay, the lady tried to charge me $80 instead of the original total of $65. when I explained To her that I wasnt going to pay extra and only Pay the $65 on the clove reader she got upset and tried to tell me I wasn't paying enough. The Owner finally accepted the amount that what was on her clove reader (which was the $65). overall a very frustrating and un-relaxing spot and I wont be back again for the sake of my blood pressure. read more

Very convenient location... for me.. maybe not others. Living in The Union we have been waiting for some businesses to finally start occupying the building. I would say their only downfall is being farther away from the city. But more business will soon come this is a very up and coming area! Whether you live here or you're just enjoying a nice day at the park it's an awesome spot to stop in. Lee is a very talented nail artist. As you can see from some other reviews. I only ever get pedicures with my girlfriend occasionally. So guys, don't be shy they feel amazing! This location has some great options, they do quality work and they also offer wine or water! See all their services in my pics read more

I got my nails done here for the first time about two weeks ago and again to get a fill today with Lee. This place is brand new and spotless. The people are extremely nice, pleasant and always eager to help. Lee does a fabulous job of making sure his work is on point and that you are completely satisfied. They provide a complimentary drink with your service and right now with their grand opening they're offering a 20% discount on products. I also got my eye lashes done and although I absolutely love the way they look I'm not certain that I'll get them refilled as I am noticing the extensions were attached to my lashes and I have lost many now. The service is $110 right now with the 20% discount and $75 for a fill. They offer a free eyebrow waxing with the lash extension service and I'll definitely get that done again. read more

From the moment my girlfriend and I walked in until the minute we left I felt SO comfortable here. We were greeted promptly and kindly. We had called ahead to schedule an appointment and they had our Pedi chair ready to roll. The drinks offering was such an added luxury. My pedicure was very relaxing and so pretty! I got acrylics with gel paint and they are SO lovely and comfortable. I usually have a hard time keeping acrylics on for long but these are super comfortable and are working out great. I wish I didn't live 6 hours away so I could come here anytime I needed my nails done!! Thanks to everyone who works here!! read more

Came for Father's Day manis and pedis. I love trying new places, and Riverfront Nail Lounge has been around for only 2 months, so I thought I would try them out. Their salon is SO cute, and spotless. The people there were SO kind and professional, too. I got pink and white ombré acrylics with gems. The guy who did my nails did an exceptional job - my nails are GORGEOUS, I'm in love!!! Their prices are pretty standard - I paid $125.00 just for my acrylics, a gel mani and a basic mani, excluding tip, so yes, pretty standard pricing. :) They also provide other services such as waxing, eyelash extensions, etc. Anyway, I will definitely go back! Love my nails. read more

Riverfront Nail Lounge - In Love - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The location is probably only convenient for those living in the River Market area, though the asthmatic here is great - new, clean and modern. However, they are still building up their clientele and thus do not appear to honor appointment times. While the service was okay, I didn't appreciate waiting over 30 minutes past my appointment time, which ultimately made me late for another commitment. I paid for the middle tier pedicure which included a foot and leg massage. This ended up being just the technician stroking my legs and not a massage at all. Severely disappointed. If you're willing to spend hours here for simple service, this is the place for you, however, don't make an appointment and expect to be in and out in a timely manner. read more

I wish I could give this salon 0 stars. I came here during opening week for a pedi and a mani with an appointment. I ended up waiting 30 min for them to start my pedi. Pedi went great, but when I got to the nails they just started my dip. I was confused why they hadn't even cleaned up my nails at all. I asked my nail tech to clean up my cuticles a bit and she hardly did much. I was extremely disappointed for the almost $75 I paid for both a mani and pedi (this included 20% off apparently). That was opening week so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them again. This time, with a friend. I made an appointment around 11a for 2 pedis at 3p. Ended up waiting an hour for them to start my toes without anyone coming over and saying anything. I was more or less ignored. I declined service since the wait was so long and I had somewhere to be. My friend luckily had her toes started after almost waiting 30 min from our appointment time. They apologized and told me it was due to other employees not coming in for their shift. I wish they would have explained this when I either called that morning or when I walked in so me and my friend wouldn't have wasted an hour of our day. I had 2 poor experiences at this salon and therefore, I turned down the gift card they offered me. I have a nail salon I frequent that is a bit further away, but the service is good and keeps you informed if their is a wait. I plan to go their from now on. If you don't mind waits and a business that prioritizes walk ins over their appointments, this place is for you. Otherwise, I would suggest going anywhere else. read more

Came here for the first time.. showed this lady the pic of how I wanted my nails. She completely butchered my nails they look so trash. Didn't have time for her to redo them at that time so I came back later in the day and Lee says he can do the design but charging me an extra $10 makes no sense because my nails were messed up to begin with. Ughhhhh. Never again. Only good thing is that they have free drinks. read more

Made an appointment for a mani-pedi and my friend for a dip manicure. This salon is soooo unorganized. We each soaked for about 25 minutes with no communication, just sat there. When the technicians finally started with us, they kept going to other people who came after us, with and without appointments, and coming back to do a little something more. Back and forth with no explanation. It took 2 hours and 20 minutes until we were finished. Seriously? I think my tech was a trainee, so disorganized and not thorough; I was not impressed with the results, but was so tired of being there that I didn't complain. Avoid this place unless you're the only client in there and then you might get undivided attention and. read more

I'm originally from Southern CA and was in town this past weekend for a friend's bachelorette party. I called ahead to make sure they could accomodate our small party for mani-pedis. The staff was so great to talk to on the phone. We felt very welcomed by the staff once arrived and even had congratulatory mimosas. The nail salon is new and very clean. I am very picky of where I get my nails done, but if I could rate them accurately I'd rate them 10 stars. They offer many different colors and designs from the traditional nail polish to gel to dip. I never tried the dipping nail manicure but they convinced me to try it. And i loved it! I had a pink dip polish and added chrome on top!
