About

LUX SF opened in 2013 and works from a boutique setting on Hayes Street. The salon is listed as a San Francisco Healthy Nail Certified salon, and its approach centers on non-toxic nail care. The salon describes itself as offering a select range of toxin-free polishes and skin treatments.

Visits begin with the service menu, which is organized into manicures, pedicures, add-ons, Elemis rituals, massage add-ons, a men's menu and nail art. Single manicures and pedicures run from quick polish changes to longer LUX and DeLUX services with shaping, cuticle care, scrubs, massage and paraffin. Add-ons such as gel polish, a keratin emulsion wrap, a PerfectSense paraffin wrap, intensive callus treatment, chrome or deep French finishes and hot stone massage can be combined with most services. Touch-ups are complimentary on manicures and pedicures.

Hygiene is a central part of the setup. Manicure and pedicure tools are either medically sterilized or single-use, pedicures happen in freestanding bowls with disposable liners, and foot files are disposable. Lotions and exfoliating scrubs are free of sulfates, parabens and phthalates. Polish is removed with an acetone-free remover on request. Parking is limited on the street, and the SF Performing Arts garage is a short walk down the block at Gough and Grove Street.

The salon focuses on non-toxic nail care in a boutique setting, using disposable tools and polish brands that are free of many common chemicals.

A small boutique on Hayes Street in Hayes Valley.
