2025-11-01Got my nails done by Anna today and had such a nice experience! They look flawless and everyone was so friendly 😊 they were so helpful and nice helping me decide what shape and color. Can’t wait to go back!

2025-08-12If you’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 I’m VERY picky when it comes to length, thickness, and shape. I’ve never had a bad set by either of these two nail technicians and that’s what keeps me coming back. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a good quality set!
