    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

    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 used to only do pedicures, which always lasted forever with zero chipping, but over the last few months I've started doing a Gel-X + dip combo with cat eye and I'm obsessed. I have never had a successful gel manicure that didn't lift within a week... until Vee. Whatever her technique is, these nails are staying on unless you literally break one. Vee is super friendly and chatty, and personally I love that. I genuinely enjoy our time every visit and it never feels rushed or awkward. The studio is in her home, but it's completely separate and downstairs -- just the garage and her nail space. It's all pink, pretty, private, and zen, and she always plays great music. It truly does not feel like you're in someone's house at all. One thing to note: this is a one-person business, so timing matters. If you want a longer pedicure with extra massage, just let her know ahead of time so she can plan properly. I love Vee and I love my nails every single time. Highly recommend.

Also my nails always last the longest with her!!

    I've gone to Royal Nail Spa a handful of times now and have been meaning to write a review. I…read morewanted to leave an honest review because I've noticed a lot of complaints about pricing. Yes -- this salon is on the more expensive side, and they do charge separately for things like gel polish, reshaping, etc. However, all of those prices are clearly listed on the menu. I feel like a lot of the negative reviews come from people not fully reading or understanding that the manicure/pedicure base price does not include gel, which is an additional cost. Personally, I think the pricing is worth it because you truly get what you pay for here. The technicians are very detail-oriented and really take their time to make sure you leave happy with your nails. I never feel rushed, and the quality has always been consistent for me. I also think communication is key when getting your nails done anywhere. You have to communicate what you're looking for in terms of shape, color, length, etc. I've personally never felt uncomfortable being honest or speaking up if there was something I wanted adjusted, and they've always been willing to make sure I left happy. I typically go to Mimi, Ni, or Bella, and they always do an amazing job. If you're looking for a salon that focuses on quality and attention to detail, I definitely recommend giving Royal Nail Spa a try.

    I moved to Livermore about a year ago and have been coming here for pedicures. My previous…read moreexperiences have been great, and other technicians have always done a good job, which makes this review especially disappointing. Unfortunately, my experience during my most recent visit was not up to the standard I've come to expect. First, the salon advertises a 5% discount for cash payments. However, when paying in cash, I was told they do not provide change and my total was rounded up to the nearest dollar. While the amount was small, it felt misleading and took away from the advertised discount. More importantly, my pedicure service felt rushed with Timmy. I requested a square shape for my toenails, but my big toenail was cut crooked. I didn't notice until after the service was completed. The polish application was also uneven, and my pinky toenail was only partially painted, with a noticeable portion left uncovered. Because I've had positive experiences here in the past, I'm disappointed to be writing this review. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but the quality of this service did not reflect the level of care I've previously received. I'm not sure if I'll be returning.
