    I've been coming to Lucky Nails for years. They never disappoint & not very many places will let you bring kids & they've always been extremely nice to my boys. They are detailed & listen. If you don't like something, they fix it with no issues. They are great for manicures, pedicures & full sets.

    Came here for the first time walked right in for a spa pedicure & manicure worst pedicure ever the lady who attended me took way too long just to do my pedicure an 1hr & 50 mins just to do a spa pedicure & a manicure with no color. & as you can see in the picture I still have nail polish around my toes..job not even done right should have known better when I noticed a customer complaining about her hand nails not being filed right & started to file her own nails down. I also noticed they do not sanitize down the spa area not even with cleaning supplies all they did was rinse it out with water & a dirty sponge called the next customer didn't even bother to change out the towels I also noticed they use the same towels that they use on someone's feet on somebody else's hands how gross first & last time returning customer never again.

    I found this place through yelp and I'm so happy I did! Tony really is amazing! Above and beyond what I expected. My nails are perfect and I have gotten so many compliments and people asking me where I went!

    This is my go-to salon for nails! I've been coming here for over a year and I've tried other salons also but tony at lucky nails always does a great job with my acrylic sets! He works alongside his wife and they both re friendly to me and always offer affordable prices... just call to book an appointment because they are always busy!

    Still oozing and in pain 2 days later.

    I had finally found a place/person who would do gel manicures to my standard, polish never chipped, and stayed shiny and new for weeks. But I've gotten 2 pedicures here and both times were a nightmare. First of all, while getting manicure a roach started crawling on the table and she killed with with the buffer she was using on my nails AND THEN continued to buff my nails with the same buffer!!!! Both times I've gotten a pedicure here (by different people) I've gotten cut. They are toooo rough while removing the sides of your toenails. I've gotten it done at other salons and it really shouldn't hurt when doing it correctly. It's been 2 days and my toe is still oozing blood and what looks like pus. I'm literally praying to god that I don't get an infection. It also seems like it's the way they're being trained because every technician in this salon does the same thing like???? And I know my review isn't the first to state that they've been cut and hurt I really love their gel manicures and it's the only reason why I kept coming back but I think I'd just rather find a new salon.

    Love this place. Clean and really good work. I try and come by every 2-3 weeks for a mani & pedi sometimes I go longer since the nail doesn't chip. It's been 3 weeks and my nails haven't chipped but I am due for a Mani. I suggest you go during the week, Sat is a long wait so expect to wait 30-1 hour. But it's totally worth the wait. They don't rush the work and they take their time.

    Gel nails were chipped after one week. Ridiculous! Don't come here.

    Avoid this place!! I came here because of the good reviews. Initially I was happy with the service and the price. I usually pay more for gel nails since a regular manicure always chips on me. After a week every single one of my nails had chipped. One came off completely! Normally gel nails last 2- 3 weeks on me and never chip. 8- 10 nails were messed up. I went to tell them and they told me that too many days had passed to help me. So basically got ripped off. I guess you get what you pay for which isn't much here. Sure they're nice but what's the point if your nails don't last? I would greatly recommend taking your hard earned money elsewhere.

    Yep Never let me down!

    Five star in my books always! Tony and his wife are amazing as so is his crew! Always going above and beyond. A loyal customer. Only negative would be no appointments but he is definitely worth the wait time! Ladies you will not regret it!

    VERY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I went to do my pedicure on Friday and walked out with my third toe in pain. The pain was so severe that I had to go to the hospital. The picture below shows how my toe got infected in a matter of 2 days.

    2nd visit here. Got a full set square round shape. Gel #489. love my nails.

    I tried this place for the first time, because it's close to my house and my other nail salon left me less than satisfied the last couple of times I went. I came around 6 and was seen after only a few minutes. I got a fill and a pedicure both by tony and he is so good at what he does. He's very knowledgable about nails and pointed out how my previous acrylic and pedicure job left my nails uneven (which is why I stopped going to my other nail salon) he did such a good job of fixing my nails to be flawless and shaped to perfection. And it was rather quick I was out within an hour that day. Prices are affordable and it's the best work I have ever seen on my nails I will definitely be back and recommend! Thank you tony.

    I have been going to this nail shop for 3 years now and I must say I LOVE this place! I always get the best pedicures and nail sets!! My nail tech Tony is simply amazing!!!!! His entire staff is great and does good nail work!!! Check this place out you won't be disappointed, I swear I can go a month without a fill and my nails do not lift at all, my gel pedi last about a month too!! I love Lucky Nails and so will you

    This nail salon is JUST okay. I like to treat my mom and sister every month or so to the trip at the salon. They've been doing a nice job with acrylics so far but where they really lose out on is pedicures. They cut my poor mama because the man was too rough and rushed- he did my acrylics the first time and I felt the same energy from him. As for pedicures they're BASIC. There is no foot massage and very little attention to comfort and detail. When I come to a nail salon I want to relax and feel pampered. Unfortunately that's not the case with Lucky Nails. Until I find a nicer salon I'll keep coming here because their prices are decent.

    $35 for both gel mani and regular pedicure!! Tip not included. Love it.
    Jessica C.

    I was a little confused and skeptical about this place since it has so many mixed reviews. I stopped by and all I wanted was a regular pedicure and gel manicure. That is exactly what I got! The lady that worked on my nails took her time cutting my cuticles, filing my nails, and polishing my nails. I havent felt so comfortable with the look of my nails in a while. Unfortunately I didn't get her name. They are VERY busy on Saturdays so I would reccomend coming thursday or friday from what they told me. Apparently those days are the best to go in.

    They don't file your nails right and don't cut your cuticles at all. Very pricey

    This is the only nail salon I go to. Prices are reasonable and it is very clean. They made sure I was comfortable and that I liked my nails.

    I've been a customer of Downey Nails and Lashes for nearly two years, and the nail technicians have…read morebeen phenomenal. Their work is consistently excellent, which is why I've often recommended them to friends and family. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the salon's management and front desk staff. Their scheduling and customer service are extremely disorganized, and they seem to have little regard for the customer experience. The salon routinely overbooks technicians and assigns walk-in clients to technicians who already have upcoming appointments. Despite making appointments every time I've visited, I've regularly been forced to wait 15-30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time, even though I make a point of arriving early as a courtesy. My most recent experience was the final straw. I scheduled both a lash lift and an acrylic fill. When I called, the receptionist told me my lash appointment would be at 5:00 PM and my nail appointment at 6:00 PM. However, the text confirmation I received only listed a 6:00 PM appointment. On previous visits, I had been told by the front desk that appointments are not considered booked without a text confirmation, so I reasonably assumed the salon had adjusted my schedule and moved the lash appointment. When I arrived at 6:00 PM, the receptionist informed me that the text confirmation was incorrect, my lash appointment had actually been at 5:00 PM, and I had missed it. No apology was offered, nor did anyone attempt to rebook the service. I then asked if I could still proceed with my 6:00 PM nail appointment, only to be told that my nail technician would not be available for another hour. The receptionist blamed the delay on my technician's timing, which was both inappropriate and inaccurate. I've worked with the same technician for two years, and she has always been professional, efficient, and respectful of her appointment schedule. It was clear that the salon had double-booked over my appointment. Their only solution was for me to return at 7:00 PM, which was not possible given my schedule. This experience was incredibly frustrating because I genuinely love the work of the nail technicians. However, I can no longer tolerate the level of disorganization, poor communication, and lack of accountability from management. As a result, I will not be returning, and I can no longer recommend this salon to others. The business needs to get control of its scheduling and customer volume before more loyal customers have similar experiences.

    I went to get my nails done, originally I wanted to get my nails completely removed and get a new…read moreset done and they quoted me $95 but then said with the 20% discount it would be $76. So I sat down and waited patiently for the nail tech to be done but more people were coming in and I don't mind waiting but instead they decided to pull this guy who was smoking a cigarette outside on his phone who looked like he didn't care or didn't want to be there to do my nails. Umm... ok I guess. I thought to myself but hey I was trying this place out and who knows he might be a really good nail tech so I wasn't trying to judge a book by its cover. So then as he started I noticed he didn't clean my nails or trim my cuticles or anything and I was curious because I've gotten my nails done already from other salons and they've always taken care of my nails and properly prepped them the same ways but this guy was skipping almost every step?! On top of that instead of upselling me he downsold me, I wanted a whole new set because my previous set was chipped and starting to fall off and he said no he had me do a fill instead which I mean if my nails were still go to do a fill than whatever I don't mind saving money but he said it would be $15 cheaper so it should of been $61 but instead I was charged $68. On top of that as he was doing my nails he was not measuring the nails he was not filing them correctly and was not even he wasn't even layering my hands to make sure both hands we're symmetrical I had to keep doing it myself! I had to keep telling him to fix my nails because they were crooked or jagged and I was just kind of frustrated at this point and wanted to get it done and over with. He even was getting the French tip design wrong and had to redo it a few times. By the time we were done my nails looked somewhat decent and I was ready to go because I was just done with it. Oh and he only did one layer of clear coat and didn't even oil my cuticles or anything like that. And it's just him! I saw the nail tech next to him working on a different client and she was getting such a different experience than what I was getting When I got home I re looked at my nails under different lighting and realized he glued hair in my nails which is disgusting and I can't take it out unless I file the nail down, the nail polish is streaky and bubbly and even after all the corrections I had him do some nails are still jagged on the edges and not smooth! I wish I would have gotten the guys name because they have 3 guys there but I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE not unless you get one of the ladies or guys that actually give a shit compared to this man that did my nails cause clearly he did not want to be there and rushed/botched my nails Also it's only been a few days and the nail polish is already falling off.
