Lucio Nails

Have gone there a number of times and it was ok. Recently they have gotten really hateful as they have gotten busier. They do not honor appointments, meaning it doesn’t do any good to make an appointment. I had them do gel nails and the gel started peeling off within a few days, so not a good experience at all.

The worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I went in for a gel mani and pedi. The pedicure was fine. When it came time to soak the gel off my nails the lady barely covered my nails with foil. I sat there for 20 minutes while one nail tech worked on two other people. I was disgusted that she went to customer to customer with out washing hands. She was doing two full sets and starting my manicure at the same time. Service was terrible. A customer shouldn’t have to share there nail. After 20 minutes and no indication that she was going to take the foil off my nails I asked for my check and left… With half soaked off gel nails. Do not recommend.

After reading the Unilocal reviews and being in the market for a new place to get a pedicure (last place tore open the side of my big toe, I left bleeding), decided to give Lucio Nails a try.
My husband and I went on a Wednesday morning for pedicures. It was HEAVEN, Julie and Jimmy took their time, were gentle and chatted with us. We felt welcomed and relaxed. Best of all they didn’t rush the pedicures when regular clients walked-​in for pedicures
A plus was disposable bowl liners and a salon that was so clean it was impressive.

Beautiful, clean salon and the best pedicure I’ve ever had! Gotta do the mask and hot rocks!

Horrible; they should not even deserve 1 star. I’m new in town visiting and just wanted to get some acrylics put on. First off when I got there there were people there (not even a full house) and and one worker talked to me across the whole room. She could not even come to the counter to converse with me and see what I needed done. Everyone basically heard the whole conversation. She asked if I don’t have an appointment she couldn’t take me and I said okay I’ll just go somewhere else and she basically gave the impression as «Okay good leave already.» Everyone just stared and dropped their jaws while I walked out. Horrible customer service to begin with. Thank goodness I did not get my nails done there!

Well I got my nails done today.
I’ve been shopping for a nail salon as I’m new to Greenville, and I decided to try out Lucio Nails this time as the other places fell very short.
Julie was an absolute pleasure. She did my pedicure and fill-​in, and took her time fixing the jacked-​up mess of a full set that the last place did. Going in they were very thick and clumsy, coming out I can only tell they’re fake because I was there when she put them on. She did a lovely silver tip with a red stripe for Christmas, and did a clear coat with the gel polish instead of regular polish since I’d told her I work in the food industry and gel doesn’t chip so I wouldn’t have to worry about it chipping or getting messed up at work!
If I could give her ten stars I would.
Best part of my experience? I found my new permanent salon.
***UPDATE***
I just went for a fill-​in, and Julie delivered again.
I’d had to go to a different salon for my last fill in, as I was out of town, but Julie once again fixed my nails perfectly, just the way I wanted them. She’s always an absolute treasure. Lucio Nails is a wonderful salon!

This is one of the few times I’ve been let down by Unilocal.I was looking for a nail salon for two pedicures and checked out Unilocal.Lucio Nails had the highest rating and was close to where I was doing errands that day. I called and made an appointment for two pedicures and a eyebrow wax. My appointment was at 5:00. We arrived and did the usual pick the color and sat in the pedicure chairs. After sitting in the chair for 30 minutes someone finally came and started. This was after she attended people who arrived after me. I asked for a deluxe pedi, assuming that I would receive a longer massage. I was wrong, the massage lasted under a minute and I could barely feel it. The person I was with was still waiting. It wasn’t until the lady finished with my pedi that she started hers. At this time it was after six, an hour past our appointment time. She didn’t have time to paint my nails so she called over the owners teenager daughter to do it, who looked like she would rather be any where but there. The paint job was ok, I could have saved my money and done it at home. After the horrible pedicure, came the even worse wax. I’ve gotten my eyebrow waxed for over 10+ years at many different places and have always gone back to a wax room. Not at Lucio! They had me sit at the front desk chair and waxed me right there in front of everyone. I was very uncomfortable and it didn’t seem sanitary. I think it goes without saying that I will never come back to Lucio Nails again.

Julia really cared about her clients and was extremely friendly. Even though she was short staffed that day she was prompt and courteous to everyone that entered her door.
Her work was good. Pedicure was about average but the wow factor was definitely the stone massage!
I really wanted designs but she was unable to do them which I appreciated her honesty and not trying to just take my money and give something I did not like. I ended up with a full set of pink and white nails in which I am in love with.
The true question is would I return? The answer would be yes and no. I would return for the pink and white and any other simple false nails but not for designs (if that is something I was really wanting).
I will be going back to maintain my pink and white but I know I won’t be asking for designs with her unless she employees someone who has a great portfolio.
Compared to the other salons in Greenville I will end that on a note that she does have literally the best salon.
I cannot fully review the quality of work as I have only had my nails a week but I will review again to determine the true quality of the products used.
Oh and she has a huge selection of gel polish which is a plus (see photos)

Julie is incredible and has a wonderful eye for detail. Moving from Charleston where I was a regular for 7 years at my old salon, I thought I would never find another salon that would match the professionalism that I expect… however, Julie and her staff do just that! They are so kind and hospitable! I enjoy talking to them and my nails are gorgeous. I’m beyond impressed with this venue. Highly recommend! You can bet I will be a new Lucio regular. THANK YOU JULIE!

If I could give the manager/​owner a negative star I would. I simply needed a couple of nails repaired, the young woman was about to do so when the manager insisted that I get all of my nails redone. Uhm, no thank you, I don’t have time, a simple repair please. She then went on to argue with her colleague in a language I clearly could not understand but I knew enough to know that she didn’t want me to get a simple repair. She then explains to me that she can do 10 fingers or none because of the crowd coming in. To which I said, «let me be clear, you don’t have time to repair 3 nails, but you’re happy to give me a full manicure?» She nods yes. I expressed my unhappiness and politely left. She is a complete jerk! How does this place have a high rating?

2^nd time back. It was a bit busy, but they accommodated nicely. Like always, staff is friendly and welcoming.
I got a fill, fix, and color change. I was in and out. My nails came out beautifully, just how I wanted them.
I still highly recommend this place.

What can I say about this place except yes Yes YES! Julie is amazing, not only as a person but in her work and attention to detail. I have never been one to get regular manicures, mostly due to hating every single experience I’ve ever had save for the rare exception. But Julie helped me with damage another local «salon» did to my nails and she recommended a game plan to make them fully healthy. The shop is extremely clean and there’s no over-​powering smell of acrylic when you walk in the door. Simply put, a relaxing environment that’s welcoming and knowledgeable.
12/​21/​2016 — I’m updating my review today to continue to praise Julie for her level of professionalism and the quality of her work. Today was my third time seeing her and she has not failed me yet! My nails are looking amazing and after damage from a local salon I am proud to say that they are back in action! As a note, when I got on here to further add to my review, I read a review from someone saying Julie wouldn’t work on her nail repair. I have to think Julie wouldn’t do the repair because having only three nails done by her isn’t a great way to show her work… Partially done isn’t a good representation and if the individual understood that they would know they weren’t in a half-​a$$ salon. Just saying. There’s a difference between quality and work that comes off after a few days. That’s what Tips n Toes is for.

I read other Unilocalpers reviews & decided on Lucio. We traveled from OHIO, and are in Greenville for Thanksgiving & needed pedi’s for my daughters and I. I phoned Julie and she instantly delivered the Star Quality Customer Service that followed through the entire appt. We arrived to find a relaxing environment, clean shop, and most important FREE of the overwhelming Acrylic smell in the air. Good Prices /​Friendly Manicurists. Next time & every time we’re in town, we will stop to see «Julie & Team».

Julie was awesome! She did just as I asked and even went the extra mile to make sure they were perfect! Super friendly and amazing customer service! Place was also very nice and clean! I will definately be going back and also telling friends! Prices were under what I’m used to for a gel manicure! Well worth what I USED to pay!

I wholeheartly agree with all reviews. This establishment is very nice. Clean. Friendly. Professional. I took my three young daughters and they were more tolerant than I was. The ambiance was perfect. Unlike other nail salons that I have been to I was able to show an example of nails that I wanted and they gave me exactlly what I wanted. I have been telling everyone of my lovely experience. I will definitely return.

This place is so clean the deluxe pedi amazing visiting from California I’m definitely coming back when im in town!

I don’t live in Greenville but visit often due to family living there. I was looking to get a pedicure and found Lucio Nails on Unilocal.The reviews were spot on.
The place was super clean and brand new. The chairs were so nice and the place is sanitary which is important to me.
Julie did my pedicure. She was personable, friendly and great at her job. She did a wonderful pedicure. Thank you Julie and Lucio Nails. I will definitely come back again soon!

I came to Lucio Nails on a Saturday afternoon with a group of seven, six women and one man in search of pretty nails and a little pampering. We were all in Greenville for a wedding that evening, and I’d brought open-​toed shoes and gross bare toenails.
We called ahead and were able to get appointments for all seven of us, though we had to go in a couple waves as there weren’t seven people on staff. Parking was plentiful, and the place was pleasant, calm and clean. We occupied almost all the pedicure chairs, which were very nice, with warm foot baths and electronic massagers. We were also treated to complimentary drinks – there was a small menu that even included alcohol (though I will say this was the proudest display of the Franzia brand I’ve ever seen listed on a menu). I got a bottle of water.
Julie did my nails, and she did a wonderful job. The pedicure was thorough, and it included plenty of lotion and a mini hot stone massage. (I wasn’t sure if there was a more basic option for less money – it was never offered, and I just paid my $ 40 plus tip without bringing it up. More money than I meant to spend, but can’t say it wasn’t worth it.) The manicure was also great – my cuticles were fucked up, and Julie did a great job making my hands look like normal people’s hands. I got glittery paint on both my fingers and toes. The selection was so extensive, it was hard to choose my colors.
I banged up one of my fingernails almost immediately, and Julie fixed it up without a hitch. The paint jobs lasted long after the wedding – in fact, I’ve only scraped the paint off four of my toenails, so six are still 70% painted in sparkly gunmetal gray. If you’re looking to get your nails done in Greenville, I’d highly recommend Lucio Nails. They did well by all seven of us – our fingers and toes looked hot as hell at that wedding.

My friends and I came to this shop because of the Unilocal ratings — and we were not disappointed! Everyone was extremely friendly — and none of that awkward conversation either. My nails came out great. The tools are sanitized. It’s a step above other places with the hot rock masaage. And the color selection is pretty extensive. I will recommend this shop to anyone.

New to Greenville area and decided to give this place a try based on the good reviews. Julie did a full set with stiletto tips and they’re amazing the amount of time and detail she took really shows she won’t leave a single nail not perfect. And the salon in itself was extremely clean and so elegant! I give Julie 5 stars and would recommend this salon forsure
