Le’s Nails & Spa

I stopped in on my lunch break because my nails needed some SERIOUS maintenance. Luckily for me, there was a very skilled technician available who worked with me in getting the perfect pink/​nude shade. My nails look amazing. I plan on coming back and surveying other options such as the jelly pedicure when I have more time to relax.

This is my third visit and will be my last
Pros: Large, comfortable space with 14 massage chair pedi stations
Lots of staff
Complimentary wine, water, soda
Cons: No waxing or eyebrow arching services here
The customer service is consistently poor
I was offered nothing to drink on this visit despite having interactions with 3 different staff members. Although several patrons around me had water and wine. I asked repeatedly to have my nails wrapped so that my nails would be ready by time the technician was done with my feet. I was informed that someone else would have to wrap my nails. The manager Tony wrapped the nails of two customers who arrived after me.

I decided to try out this salon while my normal nail salon is under renovation, glad I did. The staff was very friendly and you can tell that they truly take care of their regular customers. The prices were a little higher than the average nail salon, but I have to remember the area in which they operate. I received a pedicare and a full pink&white set on my nails. The ladies were very detailed in their work, taking their time and doing things right! I was very satisfied with the results. The only downfall, they don’t offer waxing service, but I will return again.

Le’s nails is awesome. I got a pedicure & they did a superb job. I like Kimberly she’s the one who did my feet. I will go back again.

I am so glad I found this gem! I love Kim and Lee– both of them are very thorough and the work they do lasts!

Every time I go here, I have a great time. The staff is so friendly and will serve a complimentary beverage (cola, water, wine) with your visit. I just had a basic mani and pedi with gel polish and it looks great. I have very ticklish feet, but every time I go here I am able to enjoys my pedis without fear of squirming. Not to mention a hot stone massage, which feels amazing. They are always super careful. Love this place!

Clean. Friendly. And the BEST, most relaxing deluxe pedicure ever.
Sister and I came in, not knowing the area and we found this gem in the back of the target shopping center. (Thanks Unilocal!)
Worth every penny. And there’s wine!
Didn’t experience a manicure, but ermagerd the pedicure!

I’m torn: pedicure services are awesome, my tech not as much.
Knowing that they have a big Unilocal presence (judging by the Unilocal sticker on their window), most people know about the complimentary wine. Not only was I never offered this wine, I was barely spoken to at all. My tech was more worried about talking to her coworkers in a language other than English. I literally had to interrupt her if I had a question. The other techs had provided their customers with wine and conversation. So at least I could see that my tech did not reflect the way all the employees interacted with customers. I tried multiple times to talk to her or make a joke with no response. At one point I was confused about where she wanted my feet bc she couldn’t stop chattering with others to ask me in English what she wanted.
The pedicure is nice including a massage, hot stones (which didn’t do much as they were on my legs for all of 3 seconds) and then hot towels. When she was done however, she lifted the side of the chair and pointed me to the drying station… the whole time still chattering. They also had massage chairs that I wasn’t aware of until my pedicure was over.
I understand it’s a business and they just want to make money. But the spa that will keep me returning will make me feel like more than a bottom dollar. People get pedicures to feel pampered and relaxed. Not anxious and in the way.

I have been on a quest to find a great nail salon in Memphis, and unfortunately Le’s didn’t make the cut. My friend was in town and we decided to try Le’s, I had made a reservation since I knew we would be going on a Saturday morning. Even with the reservation we waited for 25 minutes. We wanted to catch up and talk, so it wasn’t that bad to wait, I’m just glad we didn’t have immediate plans afterward.
Neither of us got the full mani, just the file and shellac application. The tech who filed my nails seemed new, she kept having to ask the other tech if my nails looked ok, so I was already worried. She ended up filing some of my nails way too short, and some of them were very uneven, diagonal. My shellac had several bubbles in it. I have been getting shellac mani’s for years now, and have never had this issue before. When I pointed it out, the tech said that the bubbles would «fall», well that happened and I was left with holes in my paint. My friend called my 2 days later and said her shellac was already chipping. This place just isn’t something I want to try again. I am sure that there are other great techs at Le’s, but it’s not worth the money to keep going and hoping I get a good one.

Only ok and will do in a pinch.
My nail tech was a really sweet girl. She offered me something to drink as I sat down and she went to work. I was getting a gel mani of a light-​ish pink. She did the first couple coats of the base and noticed the light wasnt drying well enough and causing bubbles, so she scraped the first coats off and started over. Applied the base coats again after changing lights and the first coat of polish and then noticed it was still looking pretty crappy… I totally agreed. It was bumpy and just didn’t look good. At this point she needed to do the full removal to get all of it off and start over yet again!
After she finally got done with our third attempt, the edges looked sloppy which requires some buffering with the drill. I pointed out where my thumb nail had lines in it so she buffed it ALL off one more time and started over!!? Ugh.
We all know how hard this is on our nails and it’s bad enough to get them back into good condition after you’ve had gel… I literally had it done three times in a single sitting!
I’m not mad at the tech. She was the one who noticed it looked crappy the first time around and redid it on her own without me saying a word. I DO think the polish and gel was bad… If quality polish isn’t used or if they put acetone in the bottles to make it last longer, it will effect the results.
I finally left 1 hour and 24 minutes after walking in, which is waaaay longer then it should take. But again I essentially had three manicures all in one day.

I’m new in town and tried Unilocal to find the perfect place for my nails in Memphis… I must say I’m highly satisfied! This is my second visit cause I needed to try the pedi. I just love it here. I feel welcome, the place is perfectly clean, the spa chairs are amazing, the staff is very nice, friendly and professional! Sandy does an excellent job with my nails, both mani and pedi, she is great! I will surely continue coming back here during my stay in Memphis!

Love love love this place. I was looking for a place to get a quick manicure on a Sunday afternoon. I stopped at one place, and it would’ve been 3 people in front of me. I decided to look around a little more. I walked in and ask the guy how long it would take, and he immediately sat me down. Le Le did my manicure, and was very sweet and professional. She even threw the nail polish in purse for me to keep afterwards. This place is very clean, and the staff was awesome. I love how they have it decorated. More like a spa environment, rather then your typical nail salon. They have a huge selection of nail polishes. I will definitely be coming here for all of my manis and pedis in the future. They offer a number of services as well.

This has always been my favorite place to get my nails done. Recently I came in (day before Thanksgiving) and was greeted by a unfamiliar tech. She had just started working there I believe in July. I decided on black shellac. I ended up leaving with bubbling in my polish. (Picture posted) I pointed this out to the tech & she kept painting over it in an attempt to fix the problem. (5 – 6 coats of polish later) Unfortunately it didn’t. I left very disappointed!!! Now my polish is beginning to crack at the tips. I really hate giving this place a bad review but they need to train the techs better before they put them on the floor !!!

I love this place!!! Every time I’m in town this is the only place I go. I’ve talked about it so much now my family goes here. Service is great, prices are reasonable, and most important they are CLEAN!!!
Try it you don’t be disappointed.

Great place for us men to get a pedicure. Go ahead fellas, get pampered and your significant other will love your smooth feet. I come here with my wife, who is the one that showed me the culture of the female «spa day». Since, I have infiltrated this paradise that women retreat to as men do to their respective sports bar. I have extracted all information about this place and here’s the scoop: Women since the beginning of time have been keeping one of the greatest secrets of all time… that getting pedicures are unbelievably therapeutic, relaxing, soothing, etc. As a man it is my duty to report to my fellow brothers out there that it is cool to get a pedicure, because it is becoming sad to say that since I have been coming here with my wife for the last year, I have yet to see another «dude» in here, C’mon Man! or better yet Come IN MAN!
These are the things men should know about pedicures:
1. At Le’s, a pedicure does not mean you have to get paint on your toes.
Be aware some of the wonderful, talented nail techs here could ask you if you
would like any «clear», unless you would like shiny toe nails then you should
decline on the «clear»
2. At Le’s, they serve you complimentary wine.
Did you hear that guys? Alcohol. Yes, I can feel the tides turning. You can
almost close your eyes, which happens easily at this place, and slip into
a dream-​like state… all while your feet soak in the warm water with the jets
streams lightly messaging them.
3. At Le’s, a pedicure could be also referred to as a foot massage.
Yes, a pedi will involve them cutting your toe nails, as wells as cuticle
maintenance. But they also rub creams and other stuff that does not matter
at this point of the process because one is in a «pedi-​eupohoria». They also
have hot stones in which they message your calves and feet with… it is
amazing.
So, gentlemen I have clearly presented the facts and hopefully things that were once unknown or intimidating of a pedicure. Because right now I am the only red-​blooded male in the joint every time I go and I need to see some of my comrades to represent with me. The lady’s of the world have found this gem and I just want to share it with all the guys as well. Therefore, heed my advice and check it out. Maybe one day we will see these included in the sports bar.

This is a great little salon! As far as nail salons go, it’s nothing particularly special. But, it’s a very clean place, the nail polish colors and brands are endless. The service was quick, and I was very happy with my mani/​pedi.
It’s kid friendly, they even have special pricing for kids!
For me to get a manicure, deluxe pedicure (comes with paraffin wax treatment), and my daughter to get a mani/​pedi, it was $ 90. If you pay with cash they give you a discount.
Really enjoyed my experience here!

This is my favorite nail salon in Memphis. I don’t get manicures or pedicures on a regular basis but when I do there’s no place else I’d consider.
First off, walking in you’ll notice it is super clean, spotless. Like most nail places you sign in and pick your color — there are tons of choices in regular polish, gel and even the color changing polish. I’m big on the Essie brand for pedicure and they always have tons. There are a lot of pedicure chairs so even if you have to wait for a tech you can relax in a warm foot bath and utilize the chair massager. If you are getting a manicure as well they will usually have another tech starting this while you are in the pedicure chair. The pedicure itself is very detailed and relaxing — a pretty good leg massage with lotion and then they finish it off with a hot towel wrap and hot stones.
I prefer a gel manicure and it has always been immaculate, perfect for when traveling for work or to see sorority sisters. I’ve never once felt pressured to get something crazy, which just isn’t me so I appreciate this.
With the free beverages, massaging chairs and leg /​foot massage this is my one hour relaxation destination — the painted nails are really just a bonus.

I would totally be giving this place 4 stars if not for this one thing… I’ll get to that part in a moment. First, the good stuff!
Here’s what is AWESOME (as many others have said):
— Great selection of nail polish, including Essie and OPI
— VERY clean, well-​lit, and comfortable
— MANY very friendly nail techs
— Nice perks, like hot stone massage and a beverage of your choice while you relax
Here’s what ruined it for me:
— The parafin wax treatment that they did as part of my deluxe manicure was SOSOSO hot. When the tech put it on my first foot, I said, «Oh, wow, that’s really hot!» She replied, «Yeah, it’s supposed to be that way,» and my friend in the chair next to me said, «Well, it looks like it’s hurting her, so maybe it’s too hot.» And then HER tech jumped up, grabbed the bag off my foot, and said something to MY nail tech in a language I don’t speak, then apologized to me and said that my tech forgot to cool the wax a bit first by squeezing the bag in her hands for a minute before putting it onto my foot. She did that with the second bag, and it was much more tolerable.
I would go back if I were in the area, because this nail spa has so much going for it – but I’d pass on the wax unless I were with one of the more experienced nail techs.

I don’t want to write this review. I don’t want everyone in the neighborhood to frequent this place and cause me to have a long wait time! Ok, you can go here, just wait until after my appointment.
This place has spa experience written all over it. Best part? It’s totally affordable. Pedicure includes hot stone massage and wine — $ 30! So many opi and Essie colors to choose from. The staff is very friendly and does a great job. This is my favorite nail place in East Memphis.

This is your classic nail salon with a bit more class and taste. Very professional nail techs who know how to give a great manicure.
They’ve got tons of OPI color options, it was really hard to pick a color! While getting my mani with my best friend, we sat together and sipped complimentary wine while getting spritzed up. I really liked it.
It is always refreshing to find nail salons that do a great job and are reasonably priced.
