Every service, hand-done by an artist who cares.
These aren’t assembly-line prices on assembly-line work. Our prices are fair because we’re a neighborhood studio — not because we’re cutting corners. Ask any of our regulars.

The Studio
A small family of artists on East H Street.
Luxe Nail Spa isn’t a chain and isn’t trying to be. We’re a close-knit team of technicians who’ve each built our own list of regulars over the years — the kind of clients who know which chair is ours and which playlist we’re probably putting on.
Our Story
The artists make the salon — not the other way around.
We opened on East H Street with a simple idea: a nail salon should feel like the artist you love is just a good friend with a very specific skill. That meant giving every technician room to build their own style and their own list of people — and trusting that consistent, honest work brings the same faces back for years.
Today that’s exactly what we are. Theo’s acrylic regulars drive in from Eastlake. Tara’s gel clients time their appointments to her schedule. Mia handles more bridal parties than we can count. Dana gets requests for designs nobody’s done before. And whoever you end up with, you’ll meet someone who cares what your hands look like — because after years of this, we still do too.
The Artists
The family in full.
Every one of them has a full book of regulars and a style all their own. Request them by name when you book — or let us pair you with the right one for what you’re after.
Theo
Acrylics · Shape & Structure
Theo built his book on acrylic extensions done the old-fashioned, slow way. If you’ve got a shape in mind — almond, coffin, stiletto, or something unnamed — Theo can sculpt it and it will sit clean for weeks.
Tara
Gel Manicures · Color Matching
Tara’s gel work is the reason half of Otay Ranch times their nail appointments to her schedule. She’ll take a reference photo and match the exact tone — even the tricky ones that read different in real light.
Mia
Events & Bridal · French Variations
Mia handles most of our bridal parties and event work — which means she’s fast, precise, and the person to book when your nails need to photograph well. Her classic French and modern variations are some of our most requested sets.
Dana
Nail Art · Custom Designs
Dana is the person our clients send screenshots to. Hand-painted designs, chrome work, seasonal themes, one-of-a-kind requests — whatever it is, she can figure out how to make it work on ten nails.
Clean stations, always.
Tools sanitized between every appointment, disposable liners for every pedicure, and an environment our regulars have praised in years of reviews.
Honest pricing.
Our prices are posted, our add-ons are named before we start, and nobody gets a surprise at checkout. Mid-range cost, high-range care.
Your artist, your pace.
We don’t rush the chair to turn a table. Every appointment takes the time it needs — which is why our regulars trust us with their weddings.
Come Say Hello
The best way to meet us is in the chair.

Quick Answers
Yes — we always try to fit in walk-ins when we have openings, especially on weekdays. Weekends (particularly Fridays and Saturdays) fill up fast, so calling ahead or requesting a specific artist is the safer bet.
A new full set typically runs 75–120 minutes depending on length, shape, and any custom design work. Fills are faster — usually 45–75 minutes. If you’re adding nail art, tell us when you book so we can set aside the right amount of chair time.
Yes, please do. Detailed nail art — hand-painted designs, chrome, intricate French variations — takes real time and we want to do it right. When you call, describe (or send) the design you’re after so we can book the proper window and pair you with the right artist.
Cash, all major credit/debit cards, and most mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay). Tips are always appreciated and can be added to card or left in cash.
Absolutely — and we love it when you do. Mention Theo, Tara, Mia, or Dana by name when you call (or in the note form below). If your first-choice artist is booked, we’ll tell you and help you pick the best alternative.
