If you're like me and your favorite part of a pedicure is the massage, then you've found your new nail salon for a pedi! All the techs are amazing when it comes to pedicures, however, I always schedule with Debbie. The techs really take their time, you never feel rushed. The salon is always booked but some how they always seem to fit me in for my on the whim pedicures. The salon is very clean and they still have up the dividers from early covid times. They are located in a mini plaza and there is plenty of parking. They use new files for each customer. The massages are the best part and they really take their time to massage your feet and calves. First the tech will massage you with a scrub, then they rinse that off and apply oil and lotion and give a second massage with the oil and the lotion. Lastly they use hot stones and hot towels and massage you with the stones. Pedicures are 10/10 and always last me a long time. They have plenty or colors- gel and regular polish. I have looked long and hard for a nail salon that met my pedicure needs and I have found the spot! read more

Best pedicure in all Staten Island Workers are lovely Clean and fast Manicures are wonderful also read more

Just had the best pedi I've ever had here at Riviera! She spent an hour on a regular pedi and gave me an excellent foot and leg massage. The pedi also looks beautiful and was very meticulously done. All for $30 plus tip!! It's not the fanciest salon but what a great value and a thorough, excellent job. This is going to become my new regular nail salon on Staten Island. read more

I'm not sure how this place has four stars. I am new to this part of Staten Island and went here based on the reviews, and I will never come back. For one, the woman who did my nails cut me four times. The woman who did my mom's nails cut her three times. Once is an accident, seven times in one trip is a PROBLEM. After cutting me, she continued to be rough. In addition, the woman who did my nails messed up the last step of the dip and had to redo it. She again didn't wait long enough for them to dry and I ended up with bumps and dull spots. Four days later, the top layer of the dip is peeling off and looks ridiculous. I cannot understand how they are rated so highly. The place also does not feel as clean as I would like a nail salon to be. Save yourself a trip and go elsewhere! read more

Love this salon! The owners, Chris and James, are super nice and inviting. There have been a couple of times I called to make an appointment last minute but they were always able to squeeze me in. Definitely recommend! read more

I felt uncomfortable during my visit here because when I went, I felt like I was being sold for other services. I was pretty clear in what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay for the service, and I was still being asked to get other services which was off putting. They also added on gems to my nails and told me about the increased price after. Not a huge deal to pay a little extra but I would appreciate the transparency instead of having it glued on me, without telling me the price. When I asked whether there was any charge to remove the UV nails, they simply said no charge and to come right back to them. Two weeks later I went and guess what, they tried to charge me. Won't be returning. read more

My favorite nail salon ever! Love the staff at Riviera! They are so sweet and friendly! They are also very professional. I have been going here for several years and every time I leave I'm happy I went in! They do great manicures and their pedicures are the best on SI! Highly recommend :) read more

I really wish someone had written this review for me to read before I went here. It probably would have saved 2 yrs of my life that died while I inhaled the horrible fumes in here. Besides what seemed like the total lack of ventilation and headache inducing chemical smog, my manicure kinda wasn't good. I got the gel manicure which is supposed to last at LEAST a week but mine started chipping and peeling up after 2 days. No one told me how to remove it (that it would peel up a layer of your own nails if you didn't soak it off with acetone. yick). When it came time to pay, they asked me for significantly more money than was up on their board of prices for a gel manicure. I pointed this out and someone barely managed to tell me in English that the price on the board was for a "different" gel manicure. Um. Yick. I won't be back. read more

This is the third time I have bee to Riviera Nails. I cannot believe how beautiful my nails are. Chris is a perfectionist. Someone whom I have been searching for for many years. I cant say enough about her or the salon. I was recommended by my good friend Debbie i am so grateful. I never knew such a great place existed on Staten Island. Thankyou again Chris for your talent. read more

This place gives the best pedicure on Staten Island! I have been coming here for years and continue to do so even after moving to the other side of the Island and living decently far. The workers are very thorough and skilled, and they do more exfoliating than other salons! This is basically a spa pedicure for the price of a regular one. Highly recommend! Just make an appointment if you want to come on a weekend because it can get pretty packed. read more

I had the most relaxing and thorough pedicure of my life here! Additionally, I had a great gel manicure. Atmosphere: For Staten Island it's clean, has newish equipment, and sterile. The also have a ton of colors and high end brands. And are pretty organized. Service: The woman I had (didn't catch her name) was very patient, friendly, and warm. She always smiled and made sure I was happy with what she was doing. Procedure: She spent an HOUR just on my pedicure! That's unheard of...especially in NY! She did an entire leg scrub and I mean...SCRUB! She did a hot stone massage on my legs. It was like a spa treatment and pedicure in one. I would even go as far as saying, this was better than an actual pedicure done at the spa! The gel manicure was great. I can't say how much I loved it, until I see how long it will actually last. But the application was great! Overall: I would come back here and I'm so happy I finally found a place on Staten Island that isn't dingy and sub-par! Ohhhh...and they gave me a free full size box of hand lotion. I'm sold! read more

Place has changed drastically here over the past year. Under new management. Pedicures are amazing and usually take 45 mins. My gel manicures always come out great even with a nice shoulder massage. Kris the owner is the most nicest lady in the nail business. Always remembers my name and is always happy. read more

The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars is because of the amazing pedicures. I would give the pedicures at this place 5 stars, definitely the best. The women are very professional, give really long leg/foot massages, use creams and scrubs, and also put wax on the heels of your feet. On the other hand, the manicures at this place are the worst! I tried different women just to see if it was me, or if it was them.. and it is definitely them. They are too busy chatting it up with each other, rather than focusing on the task at hand. Every time I have gotten a manicure they have managed to cut me and also caused an infection. After that experience I have never gotten a manicure from them again. They have a poor selection of nail polish and it chips within a day or 2. If you come to this place come for the amazing pedicures because it is so worth it..skip out on the manicures. read more

The best pedicure in all of SI! They really take their time with pedicures and are very thorough. Everything inside is extremely clean and the prices are very fair. I love how well they paint along with the scrub they use. I refuse to get a pedicure elsewhere! read more

Best nail spa on Staten Island. I've been going to Chris since early 2011 and I'm so happy her husband James and she opened up their own place! Awesome light concept/color gel nails and pedicures. Overall, quality service and product. read more

Riviera Nail and Spa - 4th of July nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Staten Island, New York

This is my go to nail salon in SI for pedicures. Definitely the best pedicure in town and much better in terms of service and value than the standard nail salons I frequent in Manhattan. Pros: - friendly, attentive and professional service - they don't rush even if there are people waiting - loyalty card so you can get every 11th pedicure for free - nice bonus. - LOVE the exfoliating scrub they use to massage your feet and legs. - good color selection - free wifi Cons: - capacity is sometimes an issue esp. on the weekends, causing a wait. I try to go early on saturdays to avoid this. read more

I've been coming here for quite sometime. I loved it initially because of an amazing pedicurist named Bella. She didn't talk a lot but she was kind, professional and a perfectionist. She is a hard act to follow, so it seems. Unfortunately, the quality of service since is very poor! The female owner comes off rude and short with no personality. I dont think I've ever seen he smile! Not only that, the service has become more of "rush, rush, money, money" and little about "QUALITY"!!! Where r u Bella???? read more

Soooo happy I found this place. if you come here it is a must that you get a pedicure because they are the best. The owners cris and james are such nice people, always so welcoming and killer at nails. The rest of the staff are amazingly talented as well. So no matter who you go to you're getting A+ work. They are also so accommodating, even when they are slammed they will always find a way to get you in. read more

Favorite nail salon! I've been going here for 2 years now. I recommend making an appointment though if you can because it does get busy sometimes! But that just shows how great they are. James and Chris are always welcoming and try to squeeze you in even when it's busy. read more

Have been going here for a while now, but by my second visit Kris already knew my name and remembered me. I like that feeling and think that they're services are great. I go off hours, mon am, or a wed am but they always accommodate and when they are busy, never tell you 5 min and ends up being 20. Honest, they will tell you to come back if need be. Everyone who Ive gone to there, zero complaints. Great massages and very clean. Love this place! read more

Had the best pedicure at Riviera! It was my first time at this establishment a friend of mine had been telling me to check them out. My only regret is not listening to my girlfriend sooner. They took their time, were extremely kind. It was a delightful. read more

Hi place nice people never a long wait and clean. I go there for the pedicures but haven't tried my nails yet

I found my new nail salon!! Excellent service, great prices, and they have a membership card!

First and foremost it should be known that this nail salon is under new ownership as of October or Nov of 2014 - so really disregard any old less than stellar reviews. Since the new ownership - they renovated and bought all new equipment/pedicure chairs etc. Very clean - they use liners for the pedicure tubs which are a dream for a germaphobe and give a mean massage for pedis too. I go to Chris for my nails and she is the best. Her husband James is there too and he's good as well but Chris is awesome. I get light concept nails and have gone many places prior to coming here and will never go anywhere else. She does really cute designs too! Highly recommend this nail salon. read more

I absolutely love this place. I am very picky... I'm a perfectionist and can find the tiniest flaw. I have gone to several different nail salons on Staten Island, but I think I have finally found my home LoL! They are so nice and patient. The owner Kris did my nails. Such a sweet woman. She did an awesome job. She was very thorough as she shaped my nails. It has been years since anyone has shaped my nails so perfect. And she encouraged me to get a fun design, when some places would rather you pick something easy and simple to rush you out. They have gel polish, glitter polish, nail jewelry, and do so many different designs. It's not exactly near my house; it's about a 20 minute drive, but it is sooo worth it! read more

Best pedicure you will receive on Staten Island, hands down! Every time I go I have a different pedicurist and they all give the same treatment. The leg massage is phenomenal and lasts 15 minutes on each leg! I recommend this place to everyone! It's amazing for pedicures. read more

Under new management, Chris and James recently took over as owners! I followed Chris from her former place, well worth the trip. She is very personable, friendly and an excellent manicurist. I also thoroughly enjoyed the pedicure experience. Fully renovated and very clean! Totally recommend going to the new Riviera Nail and Spa! read more

Where i normally look so foward to my pedicures here and trust every person that works there. I was given the a young lady that was rude. (Put her cell phine ear piece in just before) rough, ( had to tell her to stop literally stabbing me with the intruments she had in her hand as she was granbing ay my feet and hurting me with, completely unaware and quite frankly just rude. . She does not represent the reat of the staff here thats why i am so appalled by her behavior... its sad. I hope someone speaks to her because with employees like this. Whos wants to continue coming to your facility... especially when theres a salon ever few miles.. read more
