2025-11-07I have been going here for years and they are absolutely phenomenal! Everyone is extremely nice and friendly! Mai and Lucy are experts at any designs you request. As someone with skin allergies, this is the only place I can go and know that I will not have an allergic reaction to their products. Plus they are extremely LGBTQ+ friendly!!!

2025-09-25This is the best nail spa. My manicure and pedicure were superb. Michele took so much time, including leg and arm massages. It is so sanitary and they offer a huge number of polish options. I highly recommend lush nails and spa.

2025-10-07I decided to try out a new spot for a pedicure and ended up leaving with my nails done also! Shamia did my pedicure and Nou (I hope I’m spelling that right!) did my nails! Both were very friendly and made me feel at ease since I don’t usually do this kind of stuff on the whim! I will most definitely be back! Thank you ladies!!!

2025-11-26My mom and I were looking for a new nail salon and heard great things about Lush, so we tried it out and now love it! My nail tech immediately asked me if I want anything to drink and was so kind throughout the service. My nails looked exactly like my inspo picture and everyone was welcoming. I can’t wait to come back here!!
