If youโ€™re looking for consistency, accuracy, and attention to detail, go see Tran or Mike at Lucky Nail! The only people I trust with my nails because Iโ€™m VERY picky when it comes to length, thickness, and shape. Iโ€™ve never had a bad set by either of these two nail technicians and thatโ€™s what keeps me coming back. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a good quality set!
