    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

    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.

    Such a great first experience at Oasis! I asked for very light pink acrylics, medium length,…read moresquare shape, and something neutral enough for work with an emphasis on clean structure and shape. My nail tech did an amazing job -- the shape, thickness, and overall finish were exactly what I wanted. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the salon was bright, clean, and comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful extras like the purse hook, phone stand, and drinks. I arrived a little late after work, and they were still incredibly accommodating and never made me feel rushed, even though my appointment went past closing. I left SO happy and will absolutely be back!

    Unfortunately I won't be back. I was seeing Anthony for months prior to visiting yesterday and…read morebeing informed that he no longer worked there. With that in mind, I hesitated at setting up an appointment to fix a broken nail with someone new, but needed a fix asap. My pedicure was great-- the technician was detail oriented and continuously asked me for feedback and preferences throughout my service. Unfortunately, my manicure (the primary reason I came, since my nail was broken) was not so great. My nail was cracked on the side, and I suggested just cutting the whole nail and attaching a tip. The technician assured me that builder gel would fix it, and though I didn't agree, I assumed he knew better. The service overall was rushed. The crack in my nail reappeared as soon as I got home, and I noticed how sloppy my french polish was applied. Upon noticing, I called in right away to make an appointment to fix everything the following morning. Today I came in to have the nails fixed, and once again the service was rushed. To fix the broken nail, he added a tip and cut it without first confirming the length. I pointed out that it was shorter than the other nails, but if course, there was nothing that could be done at that point without completely restarting. I let it go, just wanting to be done with the service. He added builder gel and I could tell it was sloppily applied but just let it be. After filling and shaping, the side of the nail was completely filed down and the nail was awkwardly shaped. I pointed it out and he told me someone else would fix it, because apparently someone else was waiting on him, despite me making an appointment ahead of time. I just got up and said I would go somewhere else to fix everything. No one apologized or tried to rectify the situation. I just walked out. Edit: In direct reply to the business owner's response below: In no way was I trying to imply that I was misled into coming into the shop without knowing Anthony left. As I said, I hesitated at first, but made the decision on my own to come in anyway because my nail was broken and I had only been going to this shop for months. I was NOT expecting Anthony or his exact service when I came in. I'd like to erase this narrative that somehow I expected Anthony's service and communication style during this specific service. Based on my original review, I never once implied that. I only expected the technician to 1. Fix my broken nail and 2. Do clean work on my nails. Neither of those objectives were met. I am extremely disappointed in the shift of blame, as if I ever said that I needed someone to spend hours on my nails in order for the service to be deemed "good". In fact, it's one of the things I least liked about getting my nails done with Anthony! He was not fast, but at the very least I was happy with the way my nails looked. It's hilarious to think any woman would PREFER to spend "several" hours in a nail salon give me a break. It's funny how its being portrayed as if I have such impossibly high standards for my nails as if the service was not objectively sloppy (see pictures) !! You "didnt have a chance to recify the situation", but after I pointed out that the nail shape was messed up and told to go to another chair for someone else to fix it, I said out of my mouth "you know what, its fine I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed" I gathered all of my things and no one said anything. After said I would leave, no one said ANYTHING. Everyone moved on, which is fine! But don't make it seem like I just stormed out out of nowhere and no one knew what was going on. No one cared! Shout out to Tammy at D'Luxe nails on Las Positas who was able to see me shortly after leaving the shop and did a fantastic job fixing my nails and giving me a new fresh set (in less than an hour )
