Riverside Day Spa & Nails Salon — Local services in New Orleans

If you want to take out a small loan to sit in a chair for a 8 minute pedicure this is the place for you! My friend and I walked in expecting some relaxation after walking around Nola like we were lewis and clark. I also had a nail broken and was looking to get it fixed after my pedicure. They explained the boss was unable to come do my nail from her upstairs home. So okay whatever I still was eager to get a pedicure! We sat in the pedicure chair of course mine didn't work past my scalp. We sat in the chairs for 10 minutes with our feet in the water. My water was so hot it already scorched any crust I had on my foot. The pedicure in total was 8 minutes long. There was no lotion or massage or any relaxing amenities for that matter. I did get one swipe of a scrub on my leg then it was wiped off with a towel. My toenails were all filled down pointing north, south, east and west. I also have tons of grainy looking dots all over my gel polish. My friend walked in with black polish on her toes and had the same experience as I did but didn't even get a file or anything done to her toes because they told her she didn't need it. So she went in with black polish and left with black polish. She paid $60 to soak her feet in water and get them repainted. I hope you are either wearing a diaper or don't have to pee because the bathroom is like the haunted mansion and there is no light or room to move your knee caps. Flashlights are mandatory for the bathroom. I do not recommend this to anyone living or dead. Please save your...

I did not like the service. I initially wanted a pedicure and a full set. When I asked how much the full set was, the staff continuously told me how much the manicure was. I settled for a pedicure. The water was cold, and I waited to be serviced for 3 mins. When she finally came to me, I asked her for a slight trim. She proceeded to cut my nails too short. During the pedi she acted as if feet grossed her out. (I observed how she did the another woman's pedi and she acted the same way). She didn't want to scrub/ remove dead skin. (I had to ask her twice to do so). When it came time to paint my nails, she did a very sloppy job and left paint all over my toes. She ignored it until I asked her to remove it. After everything was done the staff tried to force a manicure without telling me that a full set would be $25 extra including the $20 manicure price. So the total cost for a full set would be $45. I would not recommend anyone come here. The place is small, they overcrowd it, and rush through their survices and...

Hate posting bad reviews; posting for future tourists. Salon was clean&in a great location. Wasn't horrible, but this was my experience:

Came to get my nails done for my bachelorette party. I asked&was told my acrylics could come off no problem(only wanted gel polish...to save money) Later; I was charged a super high amount. I should have been told beforehand. Also, my nails were stained on my pointer finger (I was too busy To come back to get them fixed), the gel didn't have enough coats (day 2 saw dirt under my nails), and it is 7 days old today and I had to get them redone because the barely held up through the trip - I usually have gel polish on for 14 days.

I asked for my nails and toes to match, and they don't. I feel like i wasn't given adequate care for my mani/pedi to cost $80. Advertised at $40, I knew I'd pay extra for gel, but $80 seems excessive. (My girlfriends was $52 with a 10 minute massage added).

If this were a $40 scenario, I probably wouldn't complain. But after I tipped, it cost my...
