LUX SF

I tried this salon out on Sunday and was excited! I booked a mani/pedi (normal) for $80. When I arrived, I decided to upgrade to gel. I then got cat eye polish for an extra $10. My pedicure was lovely, great service and both people were lovely and careful. My manicure however, came out pretty poorly -- she didn't paint my full nail sides wise or length wise (see pics). When I flagged this for her, she said it was too late to do anything.. so I left with nails that look like they had been done 2-3 days prior and with some bubbles on one of my thumbs. Upon check out, she said $130 pre tip -- seems STEEP for a gel upgrade and cat eye, but ok. When I got home, I requested a refund given how honestly, poorly done my manicure is. No response. I looked online -- gel mani/pedi is $115. If cateye is +$10, how was my total $130 pre tip?!?! Love the premise of an all natural place and the staff were sweet. However, WAY too expensive for the quality of work.

I was treated to Gelx nails by my sister and sister in law for my wedding. I did a natural cat eye French tip & im obsessed. The length is perfect and the execution is top tier. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they provided good feedback. They were detail oriented and checked with us regularly to make sure that the process was going according to our desire. I would highly recommend and I would definitely come back.

I came here for my engagement and bridal nails on separate occasions. I’m not someone who takes care of my nails regularly. Both times they knocked it out of the park and the I was complimented on my nails so much. Their gel nails last me almost 4 weeks without peeling off. Highly recommend this place for your most memorable occasions.

LUX Nails is absolutely amazing! Michelle is fantastic and so is everyone else there. During my last visit, I overheard a customer telling her nail tech that she had traveled all over the world and this was the best manicure she’d ever had—I completely agree! The level of expertise, care, and dedication to customer satisfaction at LUX Nails is incredible. Michelle mentioned to me that their goal is for every customer to leave happy and it truly shows. I can’t recommend this place enough! UPDATE: This visit I showed Michele a picture of a press-on nail design where the cat eye was just at the tip like a French, and my nails came out even better than the picture. And she did it by hand. Beautiful work!

This is an great spot if you’re looking to try hybrid or builder gel. Michelle is incredibly talented with designs and I haven’t found anything she can’t do yet. Just a heads-up: it’s a no-frills setup, so things like cuticle care aren’t included unless you add them on. But if you’re all about unique nail art, this is definitely the place to go!
