The first time I went to Riya's Nails was three weeks ago. I normally always wear gel polish and I came in for a gel manicure. I judge a gel manicure based on how long it lasts (it should be two weeks at least). Well, you'd be surprised how many places will file your nail down to nothing, and then you have polish peeling days later.
Anyway, I had an appointment with Kim and her removal technique was with no discomfort or pain, and minimal nail filing. I was going on vacation and chose a neutral color. Well, I did go on vacation and let me tell you that I was in water the entire time or doing vigorous physical activity and not a single chip or stone fell off. It lasted me three weeks and could have gone longer if it wasn't for the nail growth.
I went in today and got another gel manicure and look forward to it lasting again.
The location is beautiful, great decor, VERY clean and that's visible from the moment you walk in the door. You are greeted by usually Riya and/or a gentleman. They have a large color selection for both regular polish and especially gel polish.
Another thing is that you can get really cool nails here. I mean any design you show them can probably be done, nothing tacky either!
Prices are truly fair and for the experience and service you are getting, I would still come here because I leave happy.
Kim is awesome and I enjoy my appointments with her. She is down to earth and very personable.
If you are in need of nail services, don't go anywhere else!
