Friendly staff, great service in my opinion. I usually show them a design I've found online and they can replicate it accurately. There's no massage chairs but they do give a great massage by hand. Prices are reasonable considering it's located in FiDi. Definitely recommended.
Great job by the team - they were very helpful and the nail shape, color was very high quality and a lot of attention to detail.
They didn't rush me and it shows in the results! Also, I changed my mind on the polish a couple times (due to indecisiveness) and they didn't get upset.
I absolutely love this place. Lucky Nails is such a hidden gem. I work nearby and it has become my favorite spot to get my manicures and pedicures done. The service is always great and the staff are so kind. They listen to your every wants and needs. Today, I got my nails shaped by a staff member and the paint and design done by Kate! Kate is so awesome. She is always able to do any design that I ask for and perfectly curates it to fit compliment me best! Everyone at Lucky Nails is skilled and it has made me become a regular here.
I have visited 3 consecutive months for a full set of gel acrylics, with 2 subsequent acrylic gel fills. Request for the male technician to do your acrylic gel nails! He definitely does them the best. Not only do they turn out looking great, he is also quite speedy and each fill lasts me about 4+ weeks. My friends have all gotten gel manicures here and theirs also turned out great! This is a quick spot to get your nails done in the FiDi, so don't expect a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely go elsewhere if you wish to be pampered as it is just one large room with way too many clients. Pricing is pretty decent considering the location vs the quality of work. They take both credit card and Venmo, though they do prefer cash. All in all, highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a quick nail fix!
The ladies are super nice and accommodating and I always enjoy getting my nails done here. I made an appointment last minute and it was pretty busy when I came in on a Thursday. I showed them the design I wanted and I think the end result came out beautifully. Huge shout out to both ladies for being super patient with me and making sure I was happy with my nails. Ambiance was very lovely and I was well taken care of. I would highly recommend coming here to get your nails done!
I've never ever had my nails done and for the first time, I tried acrylic and gel. Ly was nice and recommended almond shape nails and instead of white color, she recommended something pinkish but almost white. It was a little bulky for nails but hey what do I know. She said it should last at LEAST 2 weeks. A little less than a week, My left-hand nails caught my hair and yanked a good bunch out because it was between the acrylic and my nails. It was falling apart. I went back upset and just wanted to take the whole thing off but ANNIE was so comforting determined for me to not let this one experience ruin my thoughts on nails and her shop. She redid the ones that came off and replaced the surface of the remaining ones at no charge. Was extremely friendly. Sam did the finishing touch and my nails look amazing!!! The way it should've in the first place (natural looking and not bulky). So thank you Annie and Sam for correcting the situation. I will definitely be back to see the two only
Not a very glamorous salon but they do a great job. The salon is basically a room with couches around the perimeter. They put a pillow in your lap and use it as a surface to do your nails. If you're getting a pedicure, they bring out a plastic tub of hot water to soak your feet. The salon is upstairs off the street, just follow the signs. They accept walk-ins and have such a large staff that they can accommodate everyone. I got a peach gel manicure and asked for white flowers with gold centers. Kelly is the only one who does designs and she does such an amazing job. She's very attentive to the picture you give her and recreates it pretty much exactly. $35 gel mani + $5 design = $40 total. They accept cash, credit, and Venmo. If you pay by card, their iPad's default tip options are 20% and 25% (of course with a third option to customize your tip amount). Definitely recommend if you're just looking for a well done and affordable manicure!
First time getting my nails done since the pandemic began! Super close to where I work so I decided to try this place out. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of care I received from Sam! He made me feel comfortable during my time there. Chairs are separated with plastic dividers and everyone wears a mask. Chairs and pillows are also disinfected after someone leaves :-) Love how close this place is to work, it's super convenient and I can't wait to go back and get my nails done by Sam again! He did a great job at making my ugly hands feel pretty. LUCKY to have found this gem!
Just look at the photo. Thank you again, SAM!! Not pictured: - gentle/soft care with hands (we've all had someone pull and throw our hands around, am I right?) - regard for clean tools before using them on me - questions every step of the way (if I'm ok, how I like the look) - kindness, patience and professionalism This was my second time having my nails done by him, and I can say he is truly an artist at his craft.
I was in a major panic whenI broke a nail during my trip to SF. One thing, I quickly found out about SF is that its nearly impossible to find a spot that still does acrylic nails. So, when I did a quick search and found lucky nails, I definitely felt...lucky! Walked in for my 6pm appointment and was greeted by the lovely Eva. I explained to her my nail problems and she got right to work. She was super meticulous with repairing the weak acrylic on all of my nails, filed them down, added some more, and left me with my nails looking brand new! She was a super sweetheart too, which always adds to the positive vibes. Quick in and out at Lucky Nails! I'm in SF relatively often now, so if I have another nail emergency, I'll be right here to get them fixed again. read more

It pains me to write reviews like this but please Stay away from this salon. This nail salon uses old, watered down polish and your manicure will chip within hours. Such a waste of your time and money. There was no one else in the nail salon the entire hour I was there and now I know why. Truly the worst nail experience of my life. The place was dirty and very old and dated. Truly cannot think of a single positive part of the experience. read more

Super long over due review but Lucky Nails is my go to place to do my nails in the Bay! I've gotten my nails (nail art) with Kelly the most often. I love how Kelly is attentive to detail and is willing to try new, complicated designs (trust me--I do not make it easy for her). She's great at filing my nails to my liking and goes above and beyond to make sure my nail ideas come into fruition. The location is conveniently by the Montgomery bart station and is a few minutes walk. It's not the prettiest on the inside and it can get a little stuffy but it's worth the wait. Make an appointment a few days/a week in advance as they can get quite busy. read more

I have been going here for years. Jade and the other girls here are great. Gel mani and pedi very reasonable priced. I've had waxing here as well, Jade knows how to leave my brows thick and full and in a flattering lifted shape. They are open later in the evening and take walk ins but it's best to come earlier in the day when it's less busy. They have hundreds of Essie and OPI gel and dip colors. Very happy every time. read more

I've been going to Lucky Nails for a few months now, and I love the staff and their services. I always ask for designs when I go, and they do not disappoint.

Went on a Wednesday morning right when they just opened and was attended to right away. The 2 ladies who did my mani pedi did a really great job. In fact my fingernails looked so good I decided to just go colorless. Look how clean and neat looking those nails are! The place was really clean too. Will definitely be coming again. read more

Accommodating when I arrived 10 before closing at 7pm. It's a convenient nail place in FiDi and a lot of staff (probably peak hours when everyone is ideally off work). Did a regular mani ($15) in peachy color. I learned a new word when my friend said it looks matte, which I agreed. That's was probably the nail color I was going for to be suiting all outfits. They didn't lotion me nor was there the massage for the brief session, but simply painted the nails. It's the small things that leads to the extra service of going out of the way to please and for me to come back for more. Polite manicurists and for restrooms, you would have to ask someone to bring you down to the basement. It was quite a hassle because they would have to wait for you whenever you're done to bring you back upstairs. It's a good spot for the people on the go, need their grooming done, and have limited time to enjoy the little additional servicing that usually comes along with the treatment. read more
I LOOOOOVE my nails! I've been going to these ladies for 10 years! Everyone is very good! Annie (owner) has an amazing memory and she really treats everyone like family! My favorite gals Jenny, Diana, Kelly and Trang. This place gets packed so definitely book an appointment for your favorite person. Don't steal my girl jenny away from me! Though I don't blame you. She's the best haha For design, Kelly is a pro! All you need is a picture of your inspiration and she will do it. She doesn't have crystals and gems for you but if you bring them in, she will know where to place them. Got my nails done for my engagement, wedding, holidays and now honeymoon nails:) I absolutely love everyone here! read more

Le did an exceptional job on my nails. Went in for a fresh coat of ruby red. I'm extremely particular about my nails (real nails) so I requested no drill work on my hands. Le handled my hands with TLC. She did a spectacular job on sculpting & shaping my nails; taking pride in every little detail. Which is why I didn't mind being there over an hour for the job to be done. They don't have tables; this was unusual for me but I can understand how not holding your hands over a tabletop allows the client to relax. Same with Pedi's; no bulky chairs just a soapy bowl of water and a tech willing to get down & dirty for feet perfection. Anywho, I absolutely loved the salon & service. I'd be a regularly if I lived in SF. ~Christy read more

If you are in need of a quick nail appointment this place is great! It's up the stairs next to Per Diem. Going here is quick and easy in the middle of the day. Every time I go the place is packed but they are able to seat me within 5 minutes. They have a wide assortment of polishes and always do a very good job on my nails. Upstairs is slightly cramped but they are quick and efficient so I recommend if you work in downtown and if you are in a rush! read more
I literally just got my nails done here 5 minutes ago. I will you what. The lady who did my nails was so rude. She was complaining so much about my dry cuticles and even told her co-worker about it. And they started talking sh*t about me in their own language. Isn't that the reason why we go to nail salon? To get our nails done. Second of all. As you can see in the picture, there was a piece of hair. I had to go back and get it fixed (which she got so annoyed) You can also see the corners of my nails not being properly done. And I asked the lady nicely to fix it and told me that they cant do it Plus. Their place is so dirty. I noticed they were using the same tools for their clients. But I just got off from work and I am so exhausted. I didn't want to argue anymore. Lesson learned. I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THIS NAIL SALON AND I WILL DEFINITELY TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO GO TO THIS LOCATION. read more

Came into this salon Wednesday 11/13/19. I was promptly sat down with gel nail swatches. After my nail tech handed me the swatches she sat in her chair in front of me and stared at me. I felt uncomfortable and pressured to make a quick color choice leading me to be unhappy with my selection. Fast forward to Tuesday morning 11/19/19 I was typing at my computer (office job) and my right index nail felt weird. I looked down and the entire polish was peeling from my nail. Like the entire freaking nail as if I was a taking a press on off. I removed the nail polish from my right nail and assessed my other nails. With light pressure I was able to remove all 10 nails in less than 2 minutes. The polish came off in large chunks, almost the entire nail each time. TLDR; nail tech made me uncomfortable to quickly choose my color and did not do my gel polish correctly as the polish was NOT even closely adhered to my nails. Absolutely the most SHIT nail service I have ever received in my life. Would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND. I want my money back. read more

Love it! They're very sweet, efficient, and great at what they do. I got nail art done for the first time and it came out fantastic. Upon showing them what I wanted, they quickly pointed me in the direction of the manicurist who specializes in free-hand nail art. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to lucky nails quite a few times. It's quick, 'cheaper' and convenient option when downtown. Each time I go, I leave a little disappointed. However, continue to give it the benefit of the doubt and return. This time, I won't go back. I payed $55 ($70 w tip) for acrylic, gel 'dip' nails. I had a man, don't know his name. He took his time however seemed frustrated when I asked him multiple times to make the nails shorter. In the end, I was satisfied! However, only 5 days after getting my nails done, 3-4 of the nails have chipped. Super disappointing. I reached out to the salon to express my frustration but no response Lost my business. Good luck! read more
