Service menu

Considered, never rushed.

Pricing starts at the listed rate; final cost depends on length, shape, and any art. We'll always confirm the total with you before we begin — no surprises at the desk.

Manicures

Shaping, cuticle care, and a finish that wears beautifully.

Classic manicure $38

Shaping, gentle cuticle work, a nourishing hand massage, and a polish of your choosing.
Gel manicure $52

Everything in the classic, finished in long-wear gel for a high-shine that holds up for weeks.
Builder gel / BIAB $68

A flexible builder-gel overlay that strengthens natural nails without extensions. Ideal for growing length.

Pedicures

A warm soak, thoughtful detail, and a quiet seat by the window.

Classic pedicure $55

Warm soak, nail shaping, cuticle care, light callus smoothing, and polish.
Spa pedicure $72

The classic plus an exfoliating scrub, a hydrating mask, and an extended lower-leg massage.
Deluxe pedicure $92

Our most restorative — warm paraffin, intensive callus care, mask, and a longer massage. Pure unwind.

Enhancements

Length and strength, sculpted to suit your hands.

Acrylic full set from $75

Durable sculpted extensions in your preferred length and shape, finished in color or a clean natural look.
Gel-X extensions from $85

Soft-gel tips applied for a lightweight, natural feel — gentler on the nail than traditional acrylic.

From a single accent to a fully composed set.

Accent art, per nail from $5

Hand-painted detail, fine lines, foils, or a tasteful chrome accent on a nail of your choosing.
Full-set art from $40

A coordinated design across all ten nails, planned with you. Quoted at consultation by complexity.

Add-ons

Small touches that finish the experience.

Warm paraffin dip $15

A soothing paraffin treatment that leaves hands or feet remarkably soft.

Why Lumi

A studio built around calm.

Priya Anand opened Lumi after years behind the chair, certain of one thing: the best manicure is the one you barely notice you're getting. No crowded benches, no rushing to the next guest, no noise. Just careful hands, good light, and time.

Hygiene here isn't an afterthought. Files and buffers are single-use and opened in front of you. Metal tools are cleaned and sterilized to a hospital-grade standard between every guest. The room is well-ventilated and kept genuinely fresh — because your comfort and safety are the whole point.

One guest at a time

Your appointment is yours. We never double-book the chair.
Single-use files

Opened in front of you, every visit, no exceptions.
Sterilized tools

Metal implements cleaned to a hospital-grade standard.
Well-ventilated room

Fresh air and low-odor products throughout the studio.

Because we see one guest at a time, please arrive a few minutes early. If you need to reschedule, a day's notice lets us offer the spot to someone else.
