Luminous was recommended to me by my sister. It was busy during lunchtime but they got me started right away! It was busy but efficient. The gentleman who did my nails was very friendly and patient (haven't gotten my nails done in awhile!) I love the outcome. He took his time and is clearly very experienced and talented. I got the "cat eye" nails which look so cool! Excited to have pretty nails for my upcoming vacation. I will definitely be back to get a fill. Thank you!! read more

Probably one of the best pedis I've ever had in terms of attention to detail. My tech was really taking her time to prep my nails for polish. It's very small inside and was a bit daunting at first since I'm used to being more spread out. It was notably clean. The prices are also a bit higher I noticed, but in this case the service was worth it. I also appreciated them not trying to upsell me the entire time. read more

After my first try at another salon which turned into fiasco, i decided to give a try to Luminous Nails and was not disappointed. Kevin understood exactly what i was looking for and was precise to deliver results. It is my third time here and i can say without hesitation - this place is great, the technicians are fun and friendly, the owner Wendy has the warmest smile and laugh that will make your day, and overall value that you get for the price is worth every dollar. Thanks guys. read more

New favorite nail salon. The staff is so friendly and I love how they did my nails. Perfectly shaped and polished, exactly what I asked for. The salon is very small but it's CLEAN and the staff definitely aims to please. I will be going back for sure! read more

Hard up-sell from the minute I walked in until I agreed to the pricier dipped nails on my fingernails. My pedicure was very well done. The manicure was very poorly done. Not a friendly environment at all. I will not be back - even though I need a professional to remove this dip-nail finish. read more

I was visiting my in-laws and desperately needed a dip manicure. This salon had great reviews so I decided to give it a go. I called to make an appointment and they were able to see me immediately.

I've been going here for the last few months after it had been recommended to me a number of times. They do a great job and can do just about any design. However this time I went and made an appt a week ahead of time for 1:45. I walked in for my appt and it was pretty busy inside, they told me to take a seat. I waited for 45 minutes until they finally sat me just for me to wait another 15... finally he started my nails. The nails turned out cute, I just don't Understand why they book appts if they can't fulfill them. I also witnessed this happen to several other customers. read more

Love it here my nails always look great! It always really clean and really nice in the salon too !

Most of the people I interacted with were nice, and there were lots of color options for dip powder, which I appreciated, but the gentleman I got was very rude. I didn't get the shape I wanted because he would not communicate with me, and made me feel bad about asking for the shape the way every other place I've been to has done it. Maybe I just got unlucky with who I got, but bad enough of a treatment that I'm going to figure out how to do this on my own. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 months now and have had several nail technicians do my nails, and I haven't had a single manicure that didn't look perfect. Everyone there cares about making their work look good and they make sure you leave feeling great about your nails! read more

PLEASE READ!! I have gone to luminous for 3 years now on and off. The place is pretty and well decorated. Lots of color options. I just recently went in and had a 2 star experience. I called ahead to see if they could fit me in for a dip powder manicure with tips( I wasn't going to throw a fit if they were fully booked) and she said come in at 1. So I did. And when I came in I picked a color. Stood for about 20 mins then got sat down. THATS WHEN IT GOT BAD. I'm pretty sure I had the woman who is the owner or at least the boss. She started drilling off my old nails and glue and then she would turn away to talk to someone else WHILE DOING MY NAILS. I was pissed to see she wasn't giving her full attention to detail. Then when it came to the tip shape, I wanted almond. And then she took the same DRILL. And DRILLED THE SHAPE. Not using a file like every other nail place does. Then when I mentioned something she tried to tell me to just wait. The entire time she was doing my nails she acted like she was being timed. Going WAYYYY TOOOO FASSST. Not taking her time to check and make sure it's not smudged ( 3 of they were). Overall my nails came out a 7 out of 10 in my book, but I will NOT be letting her do them again. Every other time I have gone I have gotten a guy, and they never fail to impress me! Have a guy do them, or anyone other than her! Cheers read more

Was here a week ago with my sister for pedicures. They did an amazing job! Just took my boyfriends daughter here for a full set and they went above and beyond for her! They didn't have the sticker she wanted so they cut up different stickers to match. Beautiful work! Highly recommend and we'll be back in 2 weeks for pedicures! read more

Best place to get your nails done!!!! I've gotten dip powder manicure three times so far and it lasts for weeks. I work a job where I have to use my hands a lot and the manicure did not budge. They are extremely attentive to detail and are perfectionists. I came here after receiving a horrible manicure somewhere else and they treated me with the best care and fixed my nails! Finally found a salon I love. read more

Service was terrible , all the men in the shop rush through your nails. I had to have 2 different men do my nails because they didn't let my gel color sit long enough and chipped before I even left the shop. They don't listen to you at all , I had a feeling I needed more time they applied 7 coats to fix mistakes. Ben is horrible he has no politeness and very rough. I would never recommend this place. I had to come back 2 days after my appointment because top coat chipped , I told them it would they didn't not listen. Save your time and money I recommend any where else! read more

I've been going to Luminous on an off for a while. All you have to do is look at this picture of my Valentine's Day nails to understand why I keep coming back. They pay such attention to detail. The staff is super friendly, and the set was affordable. whenever I get my nails done here, I always get compliments & people asking for the name of the salon. If you're ever debating on whether you should come here-you 100% should. read more

My acrylic nails are super thick & less than a week after having them done the gel is peeling off. The top of nails look dirty.

The best manicure I've ever had. Staff is super kind, fast and really talented at what they do. Will be back!

It's rare that you go to a business where the owner is such a kind soul and provides his service with such devotion. Danny and I spoke for a long time while he was doing my nails and he really impressed me. He had another career, but he does this because he really just loves doing nails. And it shows in his focused attention to detail. This is my most favorite nail salon ever and I never thought I would care about a nail salon so much. read more

Let me start with a disclaimer: I walked in a weekday morning without an appointment. So yes my bad. But thought I would take a chance since they were new to the area. The man at the desk didn't even acknowledge me. So when I spoke up and asked if it was possible to get an appointment he was very rude and dismissive. I understand that he didn't have any appointments available at that time but he was not very welcoming at all! I called Miracle Nails down the road and they said come right in even though when I got there it was evident how busy they were. Could not have been nicer and accommodated me right away. Even though they didn't have too. I will be coming here all the time now. From the movie Pretty Women : "Big mistake. Huge!" read more

Luminous Nails & Spa - Pink and White Ombré Acrylic - Nail Salons Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Seemed like an over stretched business with them turning no one away. Appointments were at least 20 minutes behind when I left after my pedicure. Nail tech when finished asked me to wait in a chair by the door. She had spilled water and I nearly slipped getting down, she never wiped up the water and my paper slippers were very wet and had to shuffle to the crowded entry where there was no chair. My tech never returned and after 20 minutes I flagged someone down and she went behind the counter and said $35, and I asked if she was going to check my toes and remove the toe separators and paper shoes. She went back to her customer, I removed them myself, went to the desk, the tech closest to the register got up and took my payment! Very disappointed in their customer service .... Ladttrip for me! read more

My daughter & I had gift certificates to enjoy together. I made an appointment for the Saturday before Memorial day-couldn't get the time I wanted but agreed to a time. We arrived to find all nail chairs full and 2 pedicure seats in use with at least 4 more people waiting! We decided to wait until the following week and I asked for 4pm on Wednesday. Thinking it over, I tried to call for 2 days to move to 5 pm and finally succeeded. I arrived at 4:55. My daughter was running late. Again 4-5 people waiting and the girl at the first chair tried to tell me the appointment was for 4pm. They got me started even though I said my daughter was almost there. The tech started the water and walked away. The water became too hot. When she tried to adjust it, I got splashed up to the seat! I picked a color which she then said they didn't have! This was the shortest, most uncomfortable pedicure I have ever had. The only choice I was given was the color and type of polish-regular, gel or powder! My daughter arrived and they seated her next to me but didn't start her until I was done and then told me to go have a seat! Never again! There are too many choices in Camillus and I won't waste my time here! read more

I am extremely hard on my nails and usually a nail bitter, I paint and restore furniture for a living. And I'm super impressed with how well my powder dip nails have lasted. I originally had them done for a vacation but even I came back between painting and sanding they have worn great. Can't wait to continue going here! I also had a gel pedicure. Just wonderful. read more

I never write complaints. I mean it when I say that. I'm just really upset about my recent visit. You know, when you go to get your nails done you're excited. And if you know the color you want, you want time to look for it. I don't know about you, but my "nail salon pet peeve" is when I am rushed to pick a color. I had my appointment and came a little early, so I could do just that. Mind you, first appointment of the day, not busy at all. Looking for one minute, and they tell me to take a seat at a specific booth; several times. I told them I would like to pick my color first and that I haven't looked at all of the books, and I wasn't rude. They told me they are all the same (they aren't, and they aren't all labeled). Maybe if they were organized better so people would know that IDK. So, I walk over holding all of my stuff and two of those books, like c'mon let me just pick it first no one is in here. Anyway, whatever, I moved on. There was a lot of chatting amongst the staff, idk they may or may not have been complaining, but all I know is that the guy did my nails in a half hour, skipped the cuticle oil, cuticle maintenance, they are crooked, and skipped the lotion. All things they usually do. Then they charged me $45. Which, I swear to G their price for a regular dip were $40, which is already higher than some. Does anyone else remember it being $40? I couldn't look anywhere they took the prices down, but the lady told me it was always that price. Definitely wasn't. I walked in with plain nails and had no tips, rushed to pick color, given some attitude, then a half a** job on my nails for $45. I just want people to know "suddenly" $45 for a half hour for a dip manicure that was not even done well in the half hour. I never get out of the house because I have little ones and I was excited (moms you get). It just made me sad. Just not fair or good business practice. I hope you have a better experience. read more

I called the day before to make an appt and get pricing for a simple French gel manicure and was told by the manager it was $35. I then went to pay and she told me $15 extra since a french manicure is a "design". I told her calmly and quietly that I spoke with her over the phone yesterday and she said $35 flat after I described exactly what I wanted. she made a spectacle in front of the entire salon, yelling at me and directing her body towards the rest of the customers there as she scolded me on their pricing policy. I asked her why she was addressing everyone else in the salon when I was asking privately and politely. There isn't any pricing on their website so I relied on what she told me over the phone. She stormed off and I still sent the full Venmo payment. This woman is a monster. This was supposed to be a birthday present to myself. read more

Excellent! Only place I would get powder from. They are very detailed when it comes to getting a design too! read more

It was just okay. Nails were uneven , and polish was botched looking. I wouldn't go back but it's not horrible

Prior to my visit, I cut and filed my nails knowing I had an appointment for acrylic tips. When I arrived the girl just started painting gel nails. It smelled so bad in there I didnt say anything about the wrong service just to get out of there sooner. The smell was a combination of sewage and bad food. The gel polish could've been done by a child, it looks spotty and not complete. This cost $32 + tip. I should've just completed my manicure at home. read more

I'm shocked at the lack of hospitality from this business. I had a 80$ gift card I got last year. I lost it and found it last month. I decided I'd go get a manicure and pedicure. When I went to use the gift card they told me I couldn't use it after a year and that they had a new owner and wouldn't accept it. Then proceeded to have me call the old owner and ask him to bring them 80$(Seriously). Even the old owner said they bought the business and they should honor the gift certificate. I can't believe that they did not have the decency to understand that 80$ was spent on that gift certificate and they should of taken it anyway. It was for their business. I'm a waitress and I've been in customer service for a long time. I've accepted expired coupons and more. It's good for business to be a decent person/business owner. I will never go back to this place. I paid 97$ for a gel manicure and pedicure. 80$ lost . read more

The best nail salon I've been to in the area! I had a terrible experience with a salon in skaneateles so I drove 35 minutes to luminous and oh was it worth it! The staff is so nice and they take care of you. They pay attention to the details and do a phenomenal job. Simon is great! read more

Basic pedicure was $30. I came in and had my temperature taken and was told to wash my hands. I filled out a covid form and was able to be seated immediately. I felt so comfortable seeing all of the covid precautions in place. On a Saturday I expected to wait but not at all. The service was great and she took her time. The seats even have a guard in place to separate you from the employees. The salon is extremely clean and reasonably priced. Will definitely return. read more

This business is taking advantage of their customers, and demanding/requiring tipping. I gave it a second chance because of the reviews, and I wish I didn't I wish I would have stuck with Mozoe Nail Spa, we made an appointment for 1:30, never got started till 1:55 and and we were there till 3:30, I used 3 colors cost me $52.00 but friend used 5 and it got $45.00, then when I checked out I always tip, I left the tip on the mans works station and as I'm walking out the owner yells for all the customers which were about 8 in there "SHE DIDN'T EVEN TIP". For one TIPPING isn't mandatory it's up to the customer, they as a business are NOT allowed to make customers tip, nor ask how they will tip, whether it's in cash or on their card. This place should be shut down, not to mention they have signs inside their store asking customers to tip and pay with CASH, why so they can not claim it????? No well established business would ever post signs like this inside their business nor make their customers feel like tipping is mandatory. I will NEVER go back to this place and if I was you I would stay away from it. There is something fishy going on. THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR BUT YOU HAVE TO. read more

they did a great job in my nails but the customer service was poor. they had me wait 35 minutes after my scheduled appointment to be seen. once i was sat down, i told them i wanted regular polish and they gave me a hard time. they tried to get me to do gel. they talked amongst each other a bit until the woman at the front desk came over talking loudly, she said i asked for gel i've the phone and sucked her teeth.i surely didn't because i swore gel off years ago. i don't think they wanted to service me for regular manicure since it was only $15 and they didn't wait for my nails to dry before having me get up for someone else. read more
