Lucky Nails

Pretty much nothing to complain about. This is a nice place with friendly and professional staffs. Clean and organized. Techs are all vocal enough that never had any problem telling them what I need to be done. My nails turned out fantastic just the way I like it. They use good quality products and beautiful colors. Reasonable price.

The place is nice, but my manicure is not. The edges of my nails were left unpolished, and the nail tech did the exact opposite of what I asked. I repeatedly had to remind her of what I wanted. The nails that were filed were left rough and jagged, and some were left completely un-​filed. I tried to be nice about it, but it really is a bad manicure. I won’t be returning.

This place was awesome! I’m new to the area so I solely based my decision to go to a nail salon based on the rating and reviews. This place did not disappoint! My nail technician Lily was lovely! Very personable and such a sweetheart! She was very detailed oriented which is so hard to find, so many places get sloppy because of the amount of people waiting. Not Lily! Plus she did a fabulous job on my eyebrows as well! I don’t have a bad thing to say about this place. It’s a must! :)

Wonderful experience!!! My mother, sister, and I went to have the pedicure and manicure done. We looked at all the other Unilocal reviews and we were not disappointed in fact we could not have been happier. They were extremely nice and helpful. The pedicure was amazing, they took their time to make sure it was a wonderful experience for all of us. They paid close attention to what our nails needed. I liked the fact you could talk with the staff and they would have conversation and joke with you. However, if you did not want to talk they would be quiet. I would definite recommend this salon to everyone I wish I could give them seven stars if I could. Thumbs up!!!

Wonderful service! I am very pleased with the people that work there and appreciate their kindness and understanding. I only wanted a pedicure because I’m pregnant and spending too much time in the salon would make me sick they kindly took care of me and congratulated me. I wasn’t forced into doing anything I didn’t want to :)
Side note: I really loved that when I grabbed my water out of my purse one of the employees was actually already handing me a complimentary water!

Decided to try this salon based on Unilocal reviews, and was not disappointed. There was a little wait because they were very busy, but not more than 10 minutes tops. Even though it was busy the staff paid attention to detail, and never made me feel rushed like they do in other salons. The prices are very reasonable and the manger said they’ve stayed the same for the past 5 years! I highly recommend and will be back soon!
Update: My daughter and I have been back several times and love this salon. The service is consistently outstanding and she loves that the technicians are extra gentle on her nails.

I came here with my mom for pedicures and we were both extremely happy with our experience. We did have to wait about 25 minutes on Saturday, even with an appointment. However they did a wonderful job and were very friendly. I will definitely be coming back!

Nguyen Kim NGO is really good. The shoulder and hand massage really felt good too. Had to wait a while for her so make appt if you want her

This has to be one of the best nails salon here in Bryan/​college station… They have the best products, best services and also best pricing… $ 25 or a shellac manicure, wow. I was satisfied leaving this place…

I just read all if the reviews of this place after I went… something I have done before and was disappointed. But, this time around I was surprised to see some negative or neutral reviews. I had an extremely positive time. My usual place was very busy and I could not find a salon that did not have less than a 45 minute wait tonight… day before valentines day and a Friday. I was in the area running errands and Google mapped this place. I was promptly greeted by an older, kind man. Told there would be a short wait. After ten minutes I was called to a table. I had the lady take off my old set and put on a new solar set of nails. She was very nice. Cut me one time on accident and apologized profusely. She kept asking if they looked OK and kept up conversation. Her daughter was there and was also great company. :).
The lady took her time on my nails even though her regular customer was asking how much longer she would be. She didn’t rush and finish things just to get me out and wait on the regular or any other waiting customer. She cut my nails the exact length I wanted them. She buffed them beautifully. She paid attention to details and filed them perfect. I will continue to go here. It was clean and friendly. A bit out of my way but if service continues to be as great as I had, its worth it. :)

I went to Lucky Nails on a recommendation by a friend. I wasn’t disappointed. Although they seem a little disorganized, I wasn’t completely put off. I walked in at 10 am on a Saturday and they got me started with a pedicure in about 15 minutes. The guy took his time even though they were busy.
After a pedicure, I got a manicure. I had to wait a little bit (due to disorganization) but overall, I was please. I just got a regular mani-​pedi and they both lasted quite a long time. I’ll be making an appointment next time, though.

I travel a lot for work and every two weeks when I am back in town I come here for one of their amazing deluxe pedicures. (The Pearl Spa product line smells divine!) Tony and Cathy are so friendly and welcoming and I look forward to the visit as much as the actual pedicure. Saturdays are very busy so I recommend weekdays, but if you need to come on the weekend just make an appointment so you don’t have to worry about the wait.

This place used to be Exquisite Nails. I will never go back to what is now Lucky Nails. First, I waited 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge me even though there was a woman sitting 2 feet in front of me. The guy who did my nails was rough (after I warned him my nails were thin and sensitive after so many sets of acrylics) and treated me like I have never been in a nail salon before. He proceeded to make my nails too long after repeated requests for him to make them shorter and they are flared (something I told him I HATE). I can barely text because my thumb nails are so long. I will be going back today to see if they will shorten them for free but I doubt it. Never, ever waste your hard earned money here.

This place is such a joke. I have been to Lucky Nails probably about 30 – 45 times since they opened. At first I really liked them. They did great pedis! And as time went on they got slower & slower. Every time I am there I watch them turn people away because of ridiculous wait times (sometimes OVER an hour)! They have a huge facility that they do not put to use serving more customers because they are extremely under staffed. The guy that sits at the front by the register (I think he is the owner, or at least the manager) has ABSOLUTELY NO customer service skills and is so rude. I never appreciated the way he treated me or any other of his customers, but the pedi girls were so sweet and worked so hard. Well that is now also a thing of the past. I spent an HOUR yesterday with my fingers & toes in a bowl of water having someone check on me maybe twice, but doing actually nothing as far as a mani or pedi is concerned. I finally just got up and left. I will never give another penny to this nail salon and I know several other people who feel the same way. I do not recommend Lucky Nails unless you feel like spending your entire day there waiting for someone to service you. Big thumbs DOWN!

This is my favorite nail salon in the area, and it is nearby where I live, so double yay! Peter, the owner, will remember you after you’ve been there a few times and makes you feel at home. I have been to other larger salons in the area and always wish I had stuck with this place. I usually come in for shellac and all the techs (except one male, who is awful) are skilled, precise, and do great work. I have only had one negative experience here, as I alluded to above. Pedis are good too. Unlike the previous reviewer, I’m not too concerned about the massage part of the experience, I just want good work and I want it done fast. Sometimes I ask to skip the massages altogether. Only downside to this place is that around 4 – 6 pm on most weekdays the place is packed; expect to wait a while.

I love this place! I have been coming here since around December ’11. Everybody is very friendly! I come in about every 3 weeks, so they all know me by name, and take extra good care of me.
I normally get a full set, and I have literally never had a nail break! That goes with saying that I am very hard on my nails! They do a great pedicure, but are sometimes a little to soft when it comes to massaging.
I would recommend going here over every other place I have been in the BCS area! To top it all off, there is never a wait!

While visiting Bryan this weekend, I decided to get my nails done. I had a hard time picking a nail salon because apparently there aren’t many Unilocalers in the area… or nail salons to choose from. As a Houstonian, I’m used to a nail salon on every other block.
Based on Bethany P’s review, I decided to check this place out. I was a little surprised that it was so empty when I arrived on Saturday morning around 11 am. I was promptly greeted and I quickly picked out my colors.
The pedicure was ok. The guy doing my toes spent most of the time watching the World Cup on the TV behind my chair. I like a LOT of pressure when I’m being massaged, so the leg massage was definitely lacking.
After the pedi, I moved to the front and a femail worker took over for my shellac mani. They didn’t have a lot of colors to choose from, but I was able to find a really pretty opaque white. Again, the hand massage was a joke. I actually had to hold myself from laughing. Probably my fault for not asking for more pressure — but I seriously doubt this lady could have given me more pressure. She was about 4’9″ and 80 lbs.
For the pedi and Shellac mani, I dropped around $ 60 with the tip. Not a bad price, but you get what you pay for. If I lived in Bryan, I would probably check out another place before coming back here. Not to say that it was a terrible experience. I’m just picky about my nail salons.
