I was a walk-in, wanting to get my toenails done for my wedding day. I'd come in an hour before closing. I was greeted promptly, told to get a color, and a pedicure chair was selected for me to sit in. I waited for about 10 minutes before my service started. There was only one nail tech available and he was finishing someone's manicure before he could get to me. The lady who had sat me went back behind the front counter to continue a phone conversation. The salon itself is very beautiful and the vibe was calm. Once my service started, I let the massage chair do its thing and tried to relax. The nail tech first started by clipping my nails. Overall, the length was fine. Later in my service, he poured alcohol all over my toes. I have some cuts on my toes and the way I tried not to scream... He didn't just do this once, but twice! Never has someone just doused my toes and that pain was horrendous. As he was used the callus remover, I felt significant pain. He scrubbed at my big toe callus for WAY too long, and my toe started to ache. When he was massaging my legs, he kept smacking my feet, which felt pointless. He grabbed the baby blue polish I had selected and started to paint my toes. He couldn't find a top coat at first, but did before my service was finished. I wanted to dry my polish under the blower before leaving, and he made it feel like it was an inconvenience that I would ask. As I was sitting there trying to be protective of his work, he came back with his things, ready to go home, and basically told me it was time to go. I left a 20% tip and walked carefully to my car. Upon further inspection when I got home, I was beyond disappointed. The blue paint was streaky and the top coat didn't cover all the paint. I had told this man I was getting married and the sheer frustration I felt looking at my toes was upsetting. I didn't go back to have him fix it because I figured I wouldn't be able to tell in the photos. But still, I would rather be told, 'No, we don't have time', than fudged through the process. I got the basic of what I needed but I will never return. Less than a week later, the top coat is peeling off. -_- read more

Lucky Nails - Gooey top coat and streaky paint, 1 week after my pedicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

V is the best. She listens and always makes my toes and fingers look the very best.

I took a chance to call Lucky Nails earlier and was so happy when I was told to come now. I was dying for some me time and needed a pedicure for these old, tired feet of mine. It had been a month since my last pedicure, and I had already had a long day at a seminar. I thought I would take advantage of having a sitter and sneak a pedicure on my way to pick up my younger two. I couldn't have picked a more perfect day to come. It was very quiet from check-in, and I was able to head straight to my chair and relax. Jackie had everything set up for me and gave me the best pedicure I've had in years. Lucky nails used to be my go-to since high school. I grew up in the area, and NW Reno will always be my home! Although under different ownership, this place gives me nostalgia. I'm glad I can visit years later and still be happy with my service. It's still the cleanest salon I've been to in the area, and I'm grateful for that! Jackie offered exceptional service, and I hope to be back sooner rather than later! Thank you, Jackie, see you soon! read more

Lucky Nails - Me time - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Prom weekend. Appointments all made. Manicurist cancels at 11:00 a.m. Called numerous places to get an appointment for my granddaughter's nails. Everyone of course was booked. Lucky Nails came through for us and gave us an appointment at 3:15 right after school. They were busy. I appreciate so much that they accommodated my granddaughter on her first prom at Reno High School. The technician did a great job and her nails were beautiful and exactly what she wanted. The other manicurist has lost a customer but Lucky Nails has got a new customer. Highly recommended for their high level of customer service. read more

The owner did my nails and she just isn't a pleasant person. She did a nice dip manicure, but spending an hour with her isn't something to look forward to. She's gruff and always seems annoyed. Probably why no one else was in the salon. If you make an appointment and walk ins come in, she will take them so be prepared to wait. read more

The lady was very rushed. I'm not sure if they use cheap or old product but my nails were chipping within a week. I've been getting my nails done for 30 years and have never had this experience. I will not be returning!! read more

Petrified, went into to get a fill on my nails. I get them done every 2 weeks. Was over doing some shopping stopped in! Expirence was awful!! The man in the second booth, shaved and filed my nails they are sore, sides of nails is missing on 8 of my 10 fingers. Then wanted to charge me $60. FOR A FILL!!! AWFUL I WILL NEVER RETURN. read more

This place has always been hit or miss. I went in yesterday with my boyfriend to get pedicures. Had the absolute pleasure of ending up in Nikki's chair. She did such a phenomenal job! You know how you pay extra for a massage and they always suck? Not with, Nikki! Plus my toes look amazing. Will be going back for her. read more

Lucky Nails - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Bad experience here....I walked in for a manicure and while they took me in right away (because there was only 1 other customer in the store), the manicure I rcvd was pathetic. The technician barely even filed my nails. I told her I was badly in need of cuticle clipping but she barely trimmed them. Terrrible. read more

I came in twice one week because they couldn't do the mani and pedi at the same time, the lady that did my pedi was really nice, awesome but I had 2 bleeders where my nails were trimmed too short. Came in a few days later for a mani and I'll never return. Rude, takes short cuts. I wasn't acknowledged or spoken to for the duration of my visit but they talked to other guests and frequently picked up the phone making other appts. By the 4th or 5th call I picked up the file and worked on my nails myself. Plenty of better places you should go to for a more welcoming experience. Their prices aren't worth it either! read more

I was honestly petrified walking in this place after reading the horrific Yelp reviews, but I recently did a peeling mask, and my feet needed some work big time. I decided to go with the cheapest package just in case the Yelp reviews were right that way I wouldn't have been that mad. Well, let me tell you, that $40 was $40 well spent. It was clean and comfortable and they played great music! Nicki had the best personality, and she is great at what she does. I don't know about the other employees or why there's bad reviews, but I will definitely visit again! I'm so glad I didn't trust those reviews. Thanks again, Nicki! read more

I came in here at 6pm on a Friday to see if I could get a last minute gel manicure and a pedicure. Luckily for me, they had time to work on me! One technician worked on my hands and another on my feet. Both ladies did a wonderful job cleaning up my nail beds and filing my nails down short, which is what I requested. My feet and hands both feel amazing and my nails will go nicely with the outfit I am wearing to attend a wedding tomorrow. All told, it was $60.00 for a basic pedicure and gel manicure. Since I had two technicians working on me, I left a $20.00 tip. The salon was clean and if I need a manicure and pedicure, I will be going back to see them. read more

The person there was very rude to me . I just wanted to take my nail polish removed , she's told me to come back in 30 min . I told her since I'm here can I just wait . She's say no , don't waste my time if you're not gonna come back . That was not a way to treat a customers . read more

I had errands to run close by and figured I'd stop and see if I could get a pedicure. I hadn't been in this place in about 2 years and boy has this place gone downhill. It was dark, I don't think all of the lights were on or they didn't have all the light bulbs in, not sure which. It was quiet and felt a little depressed. I should've taken that as a sign to bounce. I didn't have an appointment, they only had 2 people working and they were nice and asked if I could come back in one hour. Where do I begin with the actual pedicure service..... the nail lady was so slow and actually seemed as tho she needed a nap or something was definitely wrong with her. The rest of the poor service is as follows: She didn't cut my toenails straight across like I asked her to. She didn't scrub the bottoms of my feet, she actually scraped once or twice and once across the top of my left foot which hurt. She nipped at the cuticles on two toes of each foot but didn't trim any cuticles. She also tried to leave my nails jagged and gave me a dirty look when I asked her to file it. She slopped the paint all over my toe .... Idk it was hands down the most horrible pedicure I've ever had. In my opinion these people expect customers to just throw money at them for crappy service, No thanks I'll take my business elsewhere. The kicker? I was paying with my credit card and was told there was a 3% fee... which is $3 Say what? Ummm for y'all's information 3% of $55 is $1.65. You no multiplication knowing slackers. Sheesh! read more

This was the worst nail salon I've ever been to in my life. Have been getting my nails done over 20 years . The owner tried to pry my nail off without soaking first. Extremely rude customer service. Stay AWAY from this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All family & friends I will let know NOT to go here & stay clear ! They are terrible & rude. Very dirty salon & not sanitary. Worst experience EVER. Does not even deserve one star . read more

Worst pedicure I've had. The water was freezing to begin with. I paid for the deluxe for extra massage and got absolutely NO massage. I would give them no stars if I could read more

This is my first Yelp EVER. Let's just say I feel horribly sorry for whoever ends up here next. I went today with a two friends and we walked in and were the only people there. That was a bad sign to start! First thing is NONE of them were wearing gloves and they DID NOT use bowl liners in the water tub which is insanely unsanitary. Another bad start! I suffer from ingrown toe nails from years of basketball. The lady began to dig in at them and blamed me for having bad ingrown nails. I told her I suffer from them that's why I get pedicures regularly. Anywhere else I've ever been they understand the pain related with cutting ingrown nails. Not today! She just started digging so deep to where I was almost kicking her and telling her how bad it hurt. She mumbled under her breath and continued on my big toe until I looked down and saw blood. She was annoyed with ME that it happened. She just let my blood go everywhere, all over the towels and equipment she used. So I am SO SORRY for whoever uses that equipment next. She then began to do my gel polish, again toe still gushing blood. Once she was done she grabbed the wax and shoved my foot all in at once. If you've never done this before it is HOT WAX and usually they check to make sure temperature is fine, but no, again she didn't care about any pain. Then she gave the worst massage ever. I truly felt like she just rubbed the lotion on as If one would after a shower. Pulled the wax off and said I was done. The worst pedicure ever. Then when we went to pay she up charged me $25! $50 for pedicure $15 for gel polish (which I was aware of) $10 for picking a "chrome" color which I wasn't aware of. No discount for making me bleed the entire pedicure. I will never be back and hope you don't waste your money here. They have been reported to the cosmetology board. My friends got mediocre pedicures as well and did not leave happy. Fingers crossed I don't get an infection, or anyone else after me. read more

Horrible called this place in advanced. GPS was ridiculous and as soon as I got in there, they didn't have time to remove my nails because she wanted to accept the bigger party behind me. Note all I wanted was to get my nails removed and she said she doesn't have time while she's looking at the party behind me. Unprofessional and rude. read more

I have given Lucky Nails one too many chances. The only reason I have gone back a few times is because they always fit you in as a walk in. However, that is the only positive about this place. The quality of their work is poor. They rush through the services and try to get you in and out as quickly as they possibly can. I believe I had a pedicure once that was 20 minutes total. I think most are around 30 minutes max. Recently had a hell manicure and not only was the tech slightly aggressive with grabbing each of my hands and shoving them away, the polish only last about 10 days. I typically can get 2-3 weeks out of gel manicure. I will be avoiding Lucky Nails at all costs going forward and would rather take a chance at trying something else nearby. read more

I think my toes looked better before I went in. She did not file my nails or clean up my cuticles. She painted over my cuticles. For $50 before tip, I'm highly disappointed. Seems to be the norm all over town. They just don't care anymore. Women just want to look good and feel good. It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. A little effort and these prices would be appreciated. read more

Terrible. There is no reason that "gel" polish is coming off like this within a week of application. Quit scamming people and using regular polish at gel polish prices. Shame on you. read more

Lucky Nails - One week of "gel" polish wear - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

So, my boyfriend got me a $75 gift certificate for this salon for Christmas and I decided to try it out. I wanted a French tip acrylic with a slight flair to it. The outcome was so atrocious that I didn't know what to do. The lines for the white were crooked and jagged and uneven. after thinking about if for a moment I asked sheepishly if she could adjust the style to a regular French tip. Though the lines were "cleaner" the tips did not match on any of my nails. The white was curved at different angles and different thickness on all of them. Not to mention the nails themselves were ALL pulling up and falling off within a week. My friend came with me and got hers done and they were just as bad and fell off even faster than mine. The paint on my nails is also chipping which I have never had happen with a set of acrylics especially in such a short time. The nails themselves had notches on them and acrylic cured over my cuticles and on my skin, then some nails didn't have acrylic all the way down so they looked grown out. Seriously, do not go here. Their skill is minimal, their products are cheap and poor quality. The cherry on top is that I handed them the $75 gift certificate and they still charged me another $20. So, so disappointing read more

I wish there was an option for zero stars but please pay attention yelpers, save yourself the time, money and heartache and do not go here. I came because I was desperate and my good spots were full for a couple of weeks. I paid $50 for rude behavior and complete crap. I could have done the paint job better with my eyes closed. I honestly don't know what else to say other than this place is a complete rip off and joke. Go elsewhere folks! read more

Lots of confusion this morning. Nail tech (Nelly) out for coffee when I got here. But I was early so all is well. Someone else set me up for pedicure. Then someone else came in and said they had an appointment with Nelly at the same time. Good thing I was already soaking. Techs seemed to be arguing among themselves A out "who walked in first". A little disturbing. One thing I don't like about these large mani:pedi places is that they tend to overbook and take every walkin possible even if it makes your appointment wait. But I may be being too judgemental it's only my second visit Ok third visit and it's still chaotic here. Seem to argue with each other. The nails are done decently but I don't feel very important here. Everyone's busy with something other than who they are working on. Sorry but have to look for some place where I'm actually treated like the customer. read more

I just needed a fill.even if they were in bad shape . If you know what u are doing in your field of work.. the end result would not be Thiiiissss.... period. She was very nice. I even tipped her 5.. she said I came in with rough nails and did the best she could. Okay. Fine ill take it.. but look at the nail PAINT job..HORRIBLE. Tried a new spot because it's close to home. NEVER AGAIN.. a waste of my time & read more

Worried about cleanliness here, the nail tech used the same gloves on 3 different pedicures that I saw and also cross contaminated by touching everything in the salon while still wearing the same gloves from a pedicure. Nail clippers and files are reused and not sterilized. Even the toe separators were reused. read more

Worst customer service I've experienced. I went in with 2 other people. They lady told us all to comeback in 30 minutes. We came back, and she called the two back. I waited in the front for my turn for an hour. Meanwhile the lady calls 4 different people back to do their nails. Then proceeded to tell me she can't do mine bc she's too busy. Super unprofessional and rude. read more

Horrible service. I can't stress enough how over priced they are and quality is horrible. My daughter's nails are lumpy and polish everywhere. She complained about everything my daughter wanted. Quoted one price then charged different. $410 later and I still need to get her nails fixed and painted again. The first lady was extremely rude when I was trying to ask if she could do a design. She scolds me telling me I can't force her to do it. She's not doing it. I didn't realize asking was forcing. The sign that says no refunds should have been a clue not to go there because others had already tried to get refunds. Needless to say I'll never go there and she said she didn't care. Over priced for horrible work read more

The First Lady that was supposed to do my nails declined the design so we tried to show a simple color and started to get angry with us. Told to go to a different lady, she then proceeded to cut me and blame it on me charged 150 for a simple black French tip. They came out bumpy nail polish all over my hand and did not get the design I wanted. 100% recommend going somewhere else. read more

My nails look pretty, but customer service was a little disappointing. I will say, it was the fastest Full Set of Acrylic Nails that I've ever had! The Nail Tech didn't bother with any pampering services. I wasn't given a hand massage with lotion, as is customary with most manicures. The Nail Tech simply put a small dollop of lotion in my hand and said "that's for you." Also, the nail tech gave me a service that cost $15.00 more than what I initially asked for without telling me about the new price. I only knew I'd be paying $50.00 total when I went to pay. A good place to go if you're in a hurry! read more

The first nail salon I have found in Reno that I really, really love. I have been coming here every two weeks for about three months and have never had a bad experience. I like to treat my feet that stand for long hours at work to the nicest pedicure I think I have had in my 29 years. Every technician is so kind and thorough and they have so many gel colors to choose from (if that's your thing.) Wpuld recommend this place to any friend, local or visitor! read more

I stopped into Party Nails for a very quick and basic (walk-in) gel manicure on Wednesday morning, but since my pup wasn't welcome, I didn't stay. Across the street I found Lucky Nails during a run to Safeway, before heading out of town. They were able to accommodate me (and my baby) immediately. The service was great, the salon is lovely and the staff were super nice. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Lucky Nails! read more

Presence was good and my tech was friendly. Disappointed in communication,service received and products. I went in for a pedi with a friend. She got her norm of just regular polish pedi and i told my tech i wanted gel polish as it is supposed to and always has lasted longer for me. He asked me which pedi pack i wanted and listed out each. I decided to go with the $40 package that included wax. Something my friend recommended and i had never tried. Well let's just say this....i was done in my chair about 20 mins before my friend was done (so they obviously don't all do the same steps or for the same about of time) then at the end was told mine was $70 total. Hers was $40.....When i said what, when he listed the pedi packages i chose the middle one the $40 package the owner without care at all said your total is $70, it's gel. If it was $40 plus $30 cause i was doing gel. That's what should have been said. Instead they didn't reveal that till services were done which to me was very sneaky and tricky. To top it off.....I've never never had a pedi with gel where my polish falls off before I'm ready to get them done again. 3 weeks later and this is what they look like.....2 toe polishes just fell off....theyay have gotten $70 from me once but will never get another penny. Lost my business over their sneakiness and poor cheap products. read more

Worst $80 I've ever spent. I regret giving them a tip. I went in for a deluxe manicure and pedicure. Worst mistake. I still have all of the problems I went in with on my fingers and toes- they didn't even do the cuticles right. The bottoms of my feet are still rough. And they weren't bad to begin with. When I called them to tell them that I was disappointed in my service, I was told to come down and they would fix it. When I arrived one of the women started a big scene with me making me feel very uncomfortable and belittling me and my understanding of what a proper manicure or pedicure should be. I walked out furious after driving all of the way there! I highly recommend NEVER going to the LUCKY salon. The service, the customer service, and a quality are absolute nonsense. read more

My 14 year old daughter and her friend recently went to Lucky Nails to get a full set of acrylics, with basic polish and not overly long. My daughter was charged $69! This was not with a tip. The listed price for such a service is $45 "and up". We understand the charges can and should vary if there are special polish or extract long nails but does a 55% up charge sound right? Plan and simple, I fell like they took advantage of a young lady. On top of that, the nails started falling off after 4 days. I went in to speak with the owner and she blamed my daughter for the nails falling off after 4 days of service. The owner took no responsibility for, in this instance, their customer's satisfaction. At minimum, this is horrible customer service but could also be viewed as unethical business practices. Disappointing. read more

Went here for the first time last week. I will not be going back. Went in for gel mani and pedi. During pedi I was handed a price sheet and decided to go for the luxury, which included parafin wax. It said it was $20 extra. When I went to leave I was charged $65.00 for the Pedicure and an additional $30 for the gel manicure. Are you kidding me?? The pedi was just your average pedi and the 3 minute wax treatment was in no way worth 65$! As far as the Mani.. she put the polish on leaving a space between the cuticle and the polish so it looked like it was grown out already and after 3 days it was already peeling off. I feel like it was a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY... a lot of money!! Nail salons are everywhere. I suggest you avoid this one. read more

She spoke to her a couple of different times in a very rude tone. I will never go back there! If owners treat their staff badly, in fro t of clients imago what they do behind closed doors. I can't imagine working in such a hostile work environment... she was an out right bully! Terrible In a world where you can be anything be kind.
