Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the detailed, long-lasting nail work, with several saying their nails come out perfect and draw compliments. One compares the attention to detail to a Russian manicure. Close behind is the welcome from the two people running the salon, described as friendly, patient and professional, who don't make customers feel rushed. Specifics include creative swirls and a change of colour and design with clear gel powder, nail extensions, and a pedicure called one of the nicest a reviewer has had. One reviewer with unusual designs says every request was honoured, and another says a walk-in with thick, out-of-shape nails was fitted in and fixed. Several call the prices good value, and one reviewer praises the clean environment. The one negative review is detailed. That reviewer says they were told the designs in their photo were possible, then found the technician couldn't do them once work began. They suspected acrylic had been applied when they wanted a clear BIAB infill, and the quote rose from sixty to seventy pounds because the technician had not looked properly. The same reviewer was shown a similar set done earlier that day.

“Lucy Nails is honestly the best nail salon in Manchester. I’ve tried so many places before and nowhere compares to the quality, prices, and service here. The prices are genuinely so affordable for the level of work they do, and my nails always come out perfect every single time. Lucy and the man working there are both amazing at what they do — they’re so talented, professional, patient, and friendly. They really take their time to make sure everything looks flawless and never make you feel rushed. My nails last so well and I always get compliments on them. The salon is clean, welcoming, and has such a nice atmosphere. I’m a regular customer now and honestly I only go to Lucy Nails because I trust them completely. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful nails and great service 🤍”

“DO NOT RECOMMEND. I went in and showed the lady a picture of the designs I wanted to check it was possible and she said she would be able to do it. Returned hours later and needed a BIAB infill, based on the picture it needed to be clear coloured. Started doing my nails and then told me I can get BIAB next time so I can only assume she has put acrylic on that I haven't asked for or wanted as I have been growing my nails with BIAB. Then was unable to do the designs I had showed even though hours before I had gone into the shop to check before booking. Advised me it would be £70 when she initially said £60 because she ‘didn’t look properly’. Wasted money and time. If she was unable to do what I asked she should have told me before starting the treatment as now I have something I am incredibly unhappy with, would not recommend to anyone. At the end of the appointment she showed me a picture of a clients nails she had done earlier in the day similar to what I had originally asked for so she was obviously capable? Pictures of what I asked for vs what I got.”
