Quick info
About Rio Nails
On Broadway in Chelsea, Rio Nails is a nail salon taking walk-ins for gel pedicures and full sets, both acrylic and gel. The shop opens daily, and service can slow when staffing is limited, with waits before a technician is free. Near closing, around 5pm, or during busier stretches, appointments can move faster than usual. Full sets sometimes come out thicker or wider than expected, and filing has run heavier on some visits. No reservation system is in place, customers are seen in the order they arrive at the counter.

“I hate the way my nails came out they weren't what I asked for, every time I told her she just said it's okay that I will be fine.”

“Horrible customer service. They dont even greet you. Went in for a full set they were all thick and wide the next day i went to Fancy Nails to get them fixed.”
- Annie Page
“A little disappointing. They rushed to do my service and it was painful at some points. My nails were overfiled and they were very thin. I can feel them bending over every little movement.”

Customer Review Summary
Full sets are the most mentioned service, and reviewers split on them. One calls the nails beautiful and another loves their purple set, while a different reviewer says a full set came out thick and wide and had to be fixed at another salon. A repeat customer also recalls a great gel pedicure on a first visit. Rushing is the recurring complaint. Several describe staff hurrying as more clients arrive or near closing, with one saying the technician did whatever she preferred on a full set, one reporting overfiled, thin nails that bend, and one describing a pedicure rushed through by the only technician on duty. Others cite no greeting, brushed-off questions, and a technician stopping mid-service to take another client. One reviewer reports being burned by the LED light during a gel X application, leaving three fingers inflamed. A happy customer accepted a Friday wait because the shop was short staffed, while the burned reviewer left with the extensions removed and bare nails.
