Lucky Nails

So, after the last incident I continue to still give Tina buisness… After today, will be my last. Had an appt. at 12pm came in she was doing someone’s nails and taking her time, I didn’t say anything. I began to get a pedicure from Lily who is wonderful, Tina didn’t start on me until 12:30 and a young girl walks in. I’m sure no appt and Tina begins to rush, tellin me to get out the pedicure chair to paint my nails so, the girl can get a pedi. The girl then says I don’t want a pedi after my nails are painted, keep in mind wet! And cut me twice, acted like nothing happened! So, Tina says move back to pedi chair and I politely said, that’s why my toes got messed up because I keep moving. So I go and sit in the pedicure chair and messed up two of my nails, at this point I had enough and not to mention Tina didn’t finish doing my nails she asked Lily to do my nails in which she should have finished what she had started because Lily is a pedicure lady not a nail lady. You rush me to accommodate somebody who comes in without an appointment when you should have started on me at 12 p.m. I don’t apperciate being treated like that… It was nice while it lasted I will not return and give any more business, I am a nice and always tip!

This place is my new go to place. At first I felt a bit out of place cause I’m used to larger salons, but everyone here were friendly and nice. They offer beverages which I never get offered at other places. I mainly went for mood change nails which they had and my nails look fantastic! I can’t wait to go back.

This is an amazing Nail shop. They make you feel like you are a celebrity in Beverly Hills. They have a tranquil environment with soft rock and r and b playing, they ask do you want water or Tea. They have a lot magazines for customers to review. The owner is so nice, if you got your nails done there and a nail breaks or comes off, she will redo the nails at no extra cost, no matter the time frame. They offer a stamp card to receive a discount once you get your nails done so many times. I went on a slow day to get a fill and pedicure, she instructed the lady doing my pedicure to give me a foot massage. The lady massaged my feet for an hour for free. I had to tell her to stop, because I was so gracious for her hospitality and kindness. All the employees are really sweet and they take their time to do your nails and feet. They also do nails really well and have so many great colors. Their prices are so reasonable, I got a pedicure, medium nails with the coffin shape and gel color, my total was only 45.00. I am hard to please and I have experienced almost all the nail shops within Oakland and San Leandro, this nail shop by far exceeds all other nail shops with the experience they give customers and their kindness.

Amazing place!!! Best nail salon I have ever been to! The personnel in this family business are super friendly, professional, the place and their tools super clean (they opened a sealed sanitized package with their tools in front of me), and of course their work impeccable. Beyond satisfied with their services!

My nail lady moved to South Carolina so im searching for a new salon. I read good reviews, so I decided to try this shop. I went to this shop for the first time 2 weeks ago. I called in and made a 9:30 am appointment two days in advance. I arrived for my appointment on Tuesday morning a few minutes early. I was the first customer in the shop, after I was sat down at the pedicure chair another customer came in. My pedicure began and a lady came over to do my nails. I hate for my nails to be done at the pedicure chair, because I can’t relax and enjoy the massage. I asked the lady her name, she said Ivy. As she was doing my nails I noticed she was putting on the acrylic in big blobs, no technique. I told her not too thick, I want them to look natural and shape them completely square. Long story short I was disappointed, after she put the gel polish on it looked horrible thick wide lumpy bump nails, with no shape. I was trying to tell her my dislikes, turns out her English is not that good. The other lady over heard and came over and she apologized and said the lady who did my nails was new and her English is not good. She said she knew I had an appointment because her daughter took my call, but the lady who came in after me had called and asked to come in, so she took her over me. I was like wow really, you’d sit your new client down to a rookie and allow the first impression to be terrible. She said next time I come back she will do my nails, her name is Tina. She said if I don’t like her work my nails will be free, she is getting rid of Ivy because her work is not good. I have an appointment to return but I’ve decided not to go. You never get a second chance to make a first impression! I’ll be plucking these nails off and going elsewhere. The shop is tiny and the pedicure chairs are uncomfortable, but the lady gave a great massage with the pedicure.

I was looking for a nail salon aside from my regular salon where it is too busy to get an appointment sometimes… I stumbled upon Lucky Nails and with the help of Unilocal I checked it out… Soooo glad I did. Their pedicures include a 10 – 15 minute leg massage… I went back for an acrylic fill. I went in at 4 and was done by 4:50… Tina did amazing job and had me out quickly… The fill was only &16! It is a small salon but big on hospitality!’ This place is now my regular salon!

Tina was amazing! I’m back home for the holidays and was looking for a place to get a fill. 2 of my cousins get their nails done by Tina and they always are on point. So I decided to see for myself. It’s a little shop but I can tell she has a lot of loyal customers because her phone was ringing nonstop. She offered me hot tea when I came in which was just right since its raining today. I tried the mood changing polish and I am IN LOVE with them. The shape of my nails are just what I wanted. Every time I’m in town I’ll be coming to see Tina.

My first time here and I left feeling like a million bucks! Each person was so attentive to my needs. Loves:
— Friendly establishment
— Tea and water
— Long pedi massage (strong, just to my liking!)
— Large range of color choices
— No rush jobs, they take their time, which I value.
— impressed with my perfect pedi and coffin nails full set.
I cannot wait to go back and get pampered!

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! My hubby and I enjoyed the relaxing dual pedicures, friendly, clean and overall great customer experience ! We will definitely return. Great job Lucky Nails! Finally a respectable and welcoming salon! We appreciate your kindness and friendly smiles… Lynn and Lawrence

This place was very, very nice; small and intimate and they take their time during the appointment. The ladies that did my and my daughter’s nails were proficient and paid lots of attention to us.
Both the mani and the pedi included an extensive massage. And we even left with some coupons and a punch card for subsequent visits.
Unusually get a gel manicure but just went with the standard this time. It lasted about two solid weeks before chipping — and that says a lot given that I am home with my two year old day and my nails serve as tools when needed.
The owner is also very nice and appreciative. Highly recommend!

Ok so I thought I found my new place until that one salon was closed and I stumbled on a gold mine!
This place was so amazing I can’t tell you how amazing and well knowledgable! Hot tea, great service and very well multi task! She took off my gel and showed me how bad it was for my nails not to breath! I haven’t got a new set since I moved here! She took them off put a new set no charge for taking them off! And they did my nails and my toes same time great multi task! A true place that cares! This is my new new place I love it!

They are the absolute best here! I always get a gel full set or fill and the occasional pedicure and they never disappoint. Tina is very talented and does my shape perfect every time. The shop has tons of colors and even mood changing colors (I’ve tried and I like them)
They even give you a stamp card that you can eventually get $ off. But they are already priced so fairly. I pay $ 25 for a gel fill and $ ³⁰⁄₃₅ for the full set.
I recommend everyone come here

I can’t believe how lucky I was to find this place and got in without an appointment! I came in here on a Wednesday afternoon after going to several nail salon that were booked for the rest of the day, the lady here took me and my bf in right away. I got a mani pedi, while my bf just got a pedicure. The place was really nice and clean and the owner there was really nice. They offered us hot tea and some magazines. It was really nice and relaxing. Prices were very reasonable. Probably the best deal in the area. $ 20 for just the pedicure and $ 30 for a mani pedi. The polish on my toes lasted for almost a month! Usually it will chip in a week, but mines stayed on for a really long time! I will definitely be coming back!

Came in today for the first time and got a full set. Tina was welcoming and kind. The salon itself is very clean and the staff is professional. I even got a stamp card!

I can’t even begin to say how awesome every one is in here. right from the beginning it felt like home and relaxing… the pedicure i got was so good im still in awe about it. my nails look great. what caught me the most was the sincere client interactions you get. also i have. five year old who also got treated.
i suggest coming here when you have extra extra time. it’s perfect for a small getaway… it was my first time here and definitely not the last. i found my sanctuary for my nails and relaxation place!!!

This was m first time going to this shop, and it’s was definitely 5 stars. From the customer service, to the wide selection of nails polish colors/​brands, and Tina’s loving personality to top it off! The shop is has 3 pedicure chairs and 2 nail stations but there are only two techs at the moment. I would suggest making an appointment or call ahead to see how their work flow is. When I first walked in I was greeted very friendly and offered bottled water. From look at the shop everything is sanitized. Tina did my full set. I loved how she took her time and make sure I was satisfied with the shape before she painted my nails. She also waxed my eyebrows too.
I went back a few weeks later (⁸⁄₄), and this time I included a pedicure. I called ahead and made a same day appointment. I also got a full set with gel polish, which they have a wide variety of. I really enjoyed the pedicure! The lady took her time, the pedicure bowl has a one time use liner so it’s always sanitized and if you come back a regular the tools they use with your pedicure become yours. No one else uses them and you write your name on them to clarify the handwriting is yours. I loved the massage on my feet and legs she took her time on that too. Tina waxed my eyebrows again :) !

What luck to find Lucky Nails in San Leandro! It’s been a good while since I’ve been happy with my nails, but today all of that changed. Today, I «cheated» on my regular nail lady, and I’ve officially undergone a break-up…with a happy outcome.
I was loyal to this other nail lady for a long time, in spite of feeling rushed, in spite of my nails being too thick, in spite of the staff chattering away in their language and ignoring clients, in spite of the shop being a mess, and in spite of getting a «gel fill» followed by gel polish at a higher price, when all I needed was a good manicure and gel polish.
At Lucky Nails, you are greeted warmly and offered water or tea, your nails are expertly manicured with the perfect shape, not thick and meticulously painted. Nice array of gel colors for fingernails with matching polish for toes. Everything is sanitary, and either sterilized and disposible. Pedicure was excellent, and the foot, leg, arm and neck massage was the icing on the cake.
The owner Tina is on a mission to set her business apart from the rest of the nail salons in the area with cleanliness, skills and excellent customer service, yet the prices are way better! My cost was 40% less that what I was charged at the previous shop.
She told me her busiest days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I would suggest making an appointment no matter what day you want to go, basically because the place is smallish. Even if I had to wait, it would totally be worth it!

Still on my quest to find my salon. Decided to give Lucky nails a try. Tina was very welcoming and friendly. She gave me a basic intro to her salon, regarding the cleanliness, sanitation and and disposable liners for the pedicure tub. I also like the fact that I can also have my own set of files and buffers after the next visit. Lily did my pedicure, she was very through and gentle. Loved loved my foot massage, for $ 20, the basic pedicure was over an hour long! Very affordable! The reason for the 4 stars are the pedicure chairs, I felt like I almost kick the foot rest off because it was attached flimsy. Otherwise, it’s a clean and affordable place. The customer service is excellent!

first time at Lucky Nails. when it comes to service, they are 100% on top of it. As soon as I got in, Tina greeted me and asked me to pick the color I wanted for my nails, her mom (I think) offered me tea. it was pretty hot today so I just opted for water. I like that the place is very clean, and they used packed/​sanitized nail tools. It’s hard to find nail salons who are big on hygiene these days. I also like the fact that they took time on massaging my feet… and Tina gave me a shoulder massage. will definitely come back.
Better make an appointment thought since the place is a little small.

First time coming here and loved it. I finally found my nail spot in San Leandro. Tina is such a sweet heart. She made sure I was happy with my nails. Such a nice and clean spot. Makes you feel nice and relax. I’m not going anywhere else!
