Where every detail is quietly luxurious
Hand-sculpted manicures, gel artistry, and restorative spa pedicures in a calm, light-filled studio. No rush, no noise. Just beautiful nails and an hour that feels like yours.
Care that you can feel in every finish
We obsess over the small things so your manicure lasts longer, looks cleaner, and feels gentler from the moment you sit down.
Master technicians
Every artist trains for 600+ hours before they touch a client's hands. Precision cuticle work, even gel beds, and finishes that hold their shine.
Clinically clean
Autoclave sterilisation, single-use files and buffers, and a fresh disposable kit opened in front of you. Your safety is never optional.
Designed to slow down
Heated chairs, soft lighting, and an unhurried pace. We never double-book your slot, so the room stays calm and your time stays yours.
Kinder formulas
10-free, vegan, and cruelty-free lacquers in over 90 curated shades. Strengthening base coats keep natural nails healthy between visits.
Truly bespoke
Bring a reference or trust your artist. From quiet French tips to hand-painted florals, we tailor every set to your shape and lifestyle.
On time, every time
Book online in seconds with instant confirmation and a gentle reminder. We respect your schedule and we run on it, to the minute.
of quiet craft, perfected one hand at a time
A small studio with big intentions
Lumière began in 2016 as a single chair by a sunlit window and a belief that a manicure could be more than maintenance. Today we are a tight team of artists who treat nails as a craft, not a conveyor belt.
We kept the studio intentionally small. Fewer chairs mean more attention, longer appointments, and a room that never feels rushed. You will always know the name of the person caring for you, and they will remember yours.

Kind words from the chair
We are proud of our 4.9-star rating across more than 1,280 verified reviews.
"My gel set lasted nineteen days without a single chip. The studio is so calm I almost fell asleep. I will never go anywhere else."
"They actually listened. I showed one blurry photo and Élodie recreated it perfectly. The hand massage alone is worth the trip."
"As someone who is fussy about hygiene, watching them open a sealed kit at my chair sold me instantly. Spotless, warm, professional."
