About

The Lullabar combines a nail salon with a coffee shop in a roughly 4,200 square foot space in the Beacon La Costa center in Carlsbad. The salon has four pedicure stations and three manicure tables, and the coffee shop has indoor and outdoor seating with free Wi-Fi. Parking on site is free.

The nail menu centers on gel-based work. Structured gel is the service the business describes as its most requested. Dazzle Dry, a gel alternative that needs no UV lamp, is offered as both a classic manicure and a classic pedicure. Gel-X overlay extensions and European hard gel are available for longer wear, and hard gel is removed with an e-file rather than soaking. European Manicure is a dry service that uses an e-file to remove dead skin and excess cuticle. Acrylic and dip powder systems are not offered.

Pedicure options include a classic Dazzle Dry service, gel pedicures using CND polish, a no-polish pedicure, and a waterless Premium Smart Dry pedicure with e-file cuticle care, callus smoothing and crack repair. LUXE versions of the classic and gel pedicures add a 10-minute medical-grade paraffin treatment. Nail art add-ons range from simple dots, lines and shapes to advanced designs with 3D elements.

Children ages 2.5 to 8 can have a manicure or pedicure, and an optional play area is available during appointments. Drop-off childcare is offered for children from about 8 months to 5 or 6 years old, with hourly drop-in rates and multi-hour packages. The business says every caregiver holds an active CPR certification, and it notes that the childcare is not a licensed daycare and is designed for families who stay on site, with a parent required to remain in the building.

The café counter serves espresso drinks from La Colombe, plus organic ceremonial-grade matcha prepared to order and offered hot or iced, with non-dairy milk choices. Pastries and warm items come from Isabelle Briens French Pastry Cafe in Encinitas. Clients can order a coffee during their nail appointment, and it is brought to their station. The Focus Room is a private, enclosed quiet space of 400 square feet with Wi-Fi and outlets, bookable on weekdays in three-hour morning or afternoon sessions.

The business describes its nail services as clean and vegan, with a focus on nail health and non-toxic ingredients. Its gel systems are described as TPO-free, and it says it prioritizes cleaner professional products.

The business describes its café as calm and comfortable, designed for guests to stay a while.
