Lua Nail Bar

The BEST! I love this place because it doesn’t matter which technician you are placed with you are guaranteed to receive a wonderfully relaxing service. The atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly. I’ve been here countless times and never had an issue. Lua nail bar is PERFECT! Lots of color selection and superior service

First time here & I loved it! John did a wonderful job! I had a friend recommended me here! I will definitely return!

This is my happy place. I have been to many of the nail salons in the area and this is by far my favorite!
VERY Clean, very professional and friendly staff.

I first came here in February of 2014 with my 2 daughters and my mother-​in-​law as a walk in on a Monday morning. They were very busy and were not able to take us at the moment, however, the girl in charge of managing the store while «The Big Cheese» was away explained to us they were unable to take all of us at the same time as they were short staffed for the month. We were delighted that we were able to get 4 appointments that same day later in the afternoon and been hooked ever since!
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Linda who graciously accommodated all of our needs. She was able to beautifully paint odd requested nail art for my daughters (a puppy, bumble bee, bee tracks, and sunglasses) on such tiny fingers in a timely efficient manner, as well as giving my other daughter a quick tutoring in her upcoming organic chemistry test she was worried about (Def not your average manicurist). She also did not hesitate to make a couple of rearrangements for my mother-​in-​law to feel more comfortable as she suffers from severe back pains. I been in the customer service industry for many years and I really appreciate good customer service when I see it. This salon truly stands out from other nail salons, not just because of the fancy atmosphere and ambiance, but because you can feel the love that the staff care about their clients and what they do. I was sadden to not see Linda the last couple of times we been back, my daughters miss her fun and caring personality and the mother-​in-​law always finds something to complain about whenever Linda isn’t there. I’m sure the other staff dread doing her nails because of it. Our experience hasn’t been the same without her. I hope the Big Cheese recognizes this and does something about it! We miss our sweet Ms. Linda!

Nice ambience and relaxing music but my gel manicure started chipping after 4 – 5 days :(!

The atmosphere is beautiful… and they offer different types of pedicures with water additives. BUT… your experience all depends on who you get. The person who did mine wasn’t friendly at all nor did she speak. I had gone with a friend so more of the conversation was with her and the person doing her pedicure. Mine also must not have had experience b/​c when it was time for my manicure… she did a horrible job. The nail polish was lumpy and looked poorly applied. She didn’t even apply to the entire nail/​or to the cuticle. And by day two my nail polish was peeling off which I’ve never had before. Not sure if the paraffin dip was to be done first then nail polish applied… as it left a slippery surface. Not sure if I would go back. Very expensive but worth it if you get the correct person. Just disappointed in my experience.

bad selection of colors/​nail polishes. ok mani, but not done correctly– top of the nail is still my nail color… missed a spot

Been coming here since it first opened and it has always been the best experience. The owners are wonderful people. I am truly lucky to have found this place!

I would not recommend Lua’s.
Although the place looks nice, I think that’s where it ends.
The lady performing my pedicure seemed nice, but she was either new or very poor at her job. She left bleeding abrasions on both my ankles w/​the filing board. I initially thought she slipped off my foot but it happened numerous times on both sides and she did not skip a beat. She also did not polish the sides of my nails well or skin closest to the cuticle.
The nail drying station stools were also very uncomfortable and the space did not allow room to read a magazine etc.
The experience that should have been relaxing was only uncomfortable :(

Well, I’m glad that I found this place!
Atmosphere —
Very relaxed and the interior is beautiful and modern. The natural materials used to decorate this nail salon are gorgeous. The stone /​granite manicure bar, hard wood floor, bamboo shades are excellent choices! The sinks are very modern and the whole place is just nice to look at. They also serve tea, wine, and champange if you’d like! If it was later in the day, I would have taken her up on the offer. The back wall looks like an apothecary with different herbs and natural soaks in large glass jars.
Staff —
Very friendly! Greeted when walking through the door, manicurist talked with me throughout the manicure and pedicure. They speak English too!
Pedicure —
I chose their signature pedicure and was surprised with how fragrant the green tea oils and green tea were. It was delightful! She did an excellent job with my pedicure, took her time, and ended it with a relaxing hot stone massage. They have a few different options for pedicures and can’t wait to try their others.
Manicure —
I chose their milk manicure and was treated with dried rose petals that smelled amazing. My hands were left smooth, exfoilated, and moisturized. I chose the Shellac gel polish, which I’m a big fan of because the french lasts more than 2 weeks. After leaving, I noticed that the white part of my french was a little messy under my finger nails, but I didn’t mind because I had such a great time there relaxing.
Prices —
I think their prices are a little steep. For the above pedicure and manicure it was 85.00 and that was with the 10% discount for booking the mani/​pedi together. It was definitely worth the splurge but next time I will chose less pricey options. I am open to trying their other gel polish options to save some money.
Other —
They also told me that they do private parties for a 250 minimum. I’d love to get some Unilocal reviewers /​gals together and take advantage of this. I’m new to the area and am looking for girls to enjoy spas with.
If you have any questions — don’t hesitate to contact me.

The décor is wonderful and I thought it was clever that the nail station is actually bar with multiple stools. However, I also found it incredibly uncomfotable to be leaned forward for an extended period so that the person on the other side could reach my nails. For my polish I used CND’s Shellac because it really does look like a fresh mani for two weeks. When I called and asked the price of getting a Shellac manicure I was told it was $ 25. Turns out that $ 25 was in addition to the $ 15 price for a regular manicure. The regular manicure was having my cuticles clipped and my hands dipped in parafin, no arm/​hand massage. Every other salon I have gone to charges $ 25 for a whole manicure and the Shellac polish. Overall, it was a good experience, but definitely not worth $ 40 plus tip. If you decide to go, make sure to check out their website so you know what your getting.
The staffed seemed nice and didn’t constantly talk to each other, which definitely let me know that focusing on doing a job is important to them. I never care if manicurist talks to his/​her buddies during a pedicare since our faces are a few feet a part, but nothing at a salon irritates me more at than having someone a foot from my face who is carrying on with someone else.
I also liked that no one tried to push extra services on me. I was asked when I arrived if I wanted a pedicure too, but I declined the offer. Other places I have been to will ask if you want something and when you say no, they tell you how much you need it: calluses removed, upper lip wax, some type clay mask or scrub. At Lua Nail Bar, no one makes up flaws to make you feel like you need them to fix you up.
I will definitely go back, but never again for a specialty polish.

Ahhh, I love this place. It’s not a large place which makes it cozy. The décor is beautiful, almost stunning. You can tell they put a lot of money into the place to make it classy. I must say the place feels like «zen» or they used feng shui or something. The lighting and décor makes you feel so relaxed when you leave.
I have gotten pedicures twice and the last one I got lasted 4 weeks. The gel manicure I got lasted over 2 weeks, almost 3.
The staff is very nice and friendly. The place is CLEAN, which is the most important, in my book. The prices are affordable and worth every penny.
The best part of this place is they will serve you wine in the evening. Nothing like getting a manicure and having a glass of wine (decent wine, too).
Oh, and they also offer a Moms Night out for mom’s clubs. My club brought food and wine, and we had the place to ourselves for 3 hours. It was so much fun! This is my new favorite nail place. The only problem I see is the place is a bit small so it might be hard to get in at times. I don’t want the place to become too crowded, so that I can’t get in, but I still tell everyone I know about this place. :)
