Changed my review from 5 to 2 and then back to 4 stars because my experience at Luxe has been so mixed, depending on who does my nails and whether I call ahead or walk in. I recommend calling, and asking for a specific person (check reviews for names of some of the good techs) or service. Leaving both my original reviews below, but editing this note to say I've since tried again, and I've now had more good than bad experiences. What's important: MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. The ladies here are not all the same quality techs.

Love coming here! I always get appointments with Richard. He is so detail oriented and truly takes his time to make his work perfect! I usually get a set of dip nails and they last weeks!!
I highly recommend getting an appointment, the only time I had a negative experience was when I didn’t and the girl rushed and the work was crappy. I was there for hours and It ended up lasting barely a week before cracking and breaking.

Nhi was so sweet and did such a great job with my gel polish! When I chose a weird color she helped me choose a better looking one that suited my skin. The gel is extremely affordable compared to other salons, and they got me in quick without an appointment. The gel application is super even and perfect. This place is perfect for penn students who need a quick set (took less than a hour)! Will be back fs!
