    Jade nails for Tết
    Msha D.

    Super nice owners. Small parlor right next to bank head theatre. I'm 9 months pregnant and due in 2 weeks. Of course I tried to do my nails myself which did not go well. I was able to text LB two days before and was able to get in pretty quickly and right before lunar new year which is unheard of. Allison was so sweet and so amazing. I loved that she took her time and gave me exactly what I asked for. Pictures are definitely recommended! I was so relaxed that I definitely fell asleep at some points. I don't go to get my nails done often just because of my work which is pretty hard on my hands but Allison made me so comfortable! I highly recommend this small parlor!

    Beautiful work by Allison and Vi!

    Booked a last-minute appointment today and was super pleased with the results! Had pleasant conversation with all of the nail technicians, especially Vi, who turned out to be going to the same music festival that I had planned for this week! When I got home, i noticed that one hand did turn out different than the other (right hand a shade or two darker, and the nails a little longer too), but overall I am still super pleased with this set of acrylics! I will be coming back again to work with these amazing ladies. Luminance Beauty is located in a very convenient location in downtown Livermore, right across from the parking garage. Thank you to Allison, Vi, and Moon for being so accommodating.

    What I got! I asked for medium length with almond shape

    I almost did not get an appointment because it was full and Lunar New Years... Luckily Allison and Vi took me in. I'm from the Bay Area and only came to Livermore for a date with my boyfriend. I am so thankful they gave me an appointment. Along to add, Allison did great on assuring me to make sure I am getting what I want in terms of details. Vi also did great on shaping my nails. I was so pleased with their work I made sure to leave a tip and now a review. I never had a favorite nail shop bc my prior experiences were bad, whereas I always got cut and had terrible service... not here though... this is indeed my favorite nail salon. It sucks I am from San Jose but I am more than please to come here again. What I asked for... and what I got #Satisfied

    Pic doesn't really do this justice.  Color was subtle with some bling underneath.  I really loved how they came out.

    I've been going to Luminance for a few months now and so far I've like how my nails turn out. It's a very small shop and nothing fancy. All the technicians are very friendly. The parking garage is so close by, literally walk across the street and you're right there (next to Bankhead Theater). The one thing they don't do is trim your cuticles. So there's no soaking of your nails and trimming your cuticles. There's are some slight flaws but I have yet to get perfect nails from any salon. Pricing fluctuated depending on your design. I would recommend giving them a shot.

    I received the best nail art I have ever had today! I'm sad I didn't catch the owners name but she took her time and did way more than I expected. Highly recommend this business for amazing manicure

    This was my last set before Covid I absolute loved them
    Selina H.

    After switching nail salons back in 2019, I've been going to Luminance Beauty for a year and a half now and Vi, Allison, Moon, & Twee are amazing ladies! Vi does an AMAZING job with my dip powdered nails at every appointment! Show her a picture of what you have in mind before your appointment and she will definitely listen to you and ensure that you will love your nails! She has tons of fun colors to choose from whether it's a mani or pedi, come prepared to take some time to look at all the colors!

    If you have an idea and want to have fun and interesting designs on your nails definitely Luminance Beauty is the place for you. The amazing service and clean space makes the environment feel so relaxing and fun at the same time. An amazing variety of color in Gel, and sparkly fun accessories for the nails of your dreams! 10/10 ! Wish I could give 10 stars! Make sure to schedule in advance because they are definitely always busy with the amazing beautiful work they do!

    Vi did amazing on my nails. She did the shape perfect! This was my first time here and I will be back! It was $45 for an acrylic fill!

    How do you get a hold of them? I keep calling the number on file here multiple times and no one ever answers. I guess they don't want business!

    Text is best!

    But the best results have been when I let Vi or Moon work their creativeness.

    I had a really great experience here and have to share!…read more I have been looking for a new place to get a pedicure since the usual place I go to near my home, their quality has gone down and I'm so glad I found this place. I called around 5 PM to see if they could take a walk-in pedicure in about 15 minutes, and the person on the phone was very kind and accommodating. They let me know it would be no problem, which I really appreciated since I know that's often a busy time. I ended up getting the "Adore" pedicure (I think that's what it was called) and added gel polish. There was an upcharge for the gel, but that was totally expected. The staff was so friendly, and my pedicure didn't feel rushed at all--I felt really relaxed the entire time. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly and didn't have to wait long. Everything felt clean and well taken care of, and the attention to detail really showed in the final result. I did notice they offer drinks, which is a nice touch--I wasn't offered one during my visit, but I also didn't feel like I needed anything. I also got the impression there might be a small discount for paying in cash, but I'm not completely sure, so it's probably worth asking. At checkout, the girl in front of me -- her husband had called and paid for her service which was so cute and sweet, so just an added benefit if you want to let your man know they take pre-payment and payment over the phone :) Overall, such a smooth and pleasant experience--from the phone call to walking out the door. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Walked out with a nice, clean set of nails, so credit where it's due -- the work itself was solid…read more Good shaping, smooth polish, and the salon is tidy and well run. The only issue was add-ons and pricing. My nail tech's English was very limited, so when upgrades were suggested during the service, the extra charges didn't really come across. By the time the owner came over to help translate, I had already committed. The owner was attentive and helpful, but a clear heads-up on upcharges beforehand would make the experience much smoother. Overall: good nails, clean shop. Just ask about upgrade prices first.

    Dianna does it again. This was my December fill, and as always, I get compliments everywhere I go…read more This has been my go-to for the past year and will continue to be. My nails always look natural, I'm in and out quickly, I leave happy, and my nails never break. Dianna keeps the latest and best colors stocked and is always accommodating with last-minute scheduling. I especially enjoy the green tea when I arrive, the calm, spacious environment, and the convenient location next to Trader Joe's. Pro tip: bring cash so you don't have to use the ATM.

    This was my second time in two weeks at Lavish nails. My first experience was great my second not…read moreso much. I believe my tech was new and I understand that hands on training is needed but geez this is a rough looking gel manicure. I've been growing my nails and while she was doing them two broke so I just asked for all of them to be cut short. They were shaped uneven and I had to ask twice to have my cuticles cleaned up at which point she barely touched them. The nail polish was put on messy and since it was gel it's kinda just stuck in clumps in areas. She ended up cutting me trying to fix it. I ended up asking for the nails file to clean up what I could myself. Like I said, I understanding being new (which I am assuming she was) but before having a new tech work with people perhaps making sure they are properly trained is a good idea, especially at the prices you're charging.
