This beauty boutique located on Butler Street in Lawrenceville is your one-stop-shop for all things skincare. Stepping inside Lumi is immediately calming when you are greeted by their super-friendly staff and the relaxing vibe of their lobby. The services you will find here are along the lines of facials and body waxing for both men and women! 

If you’re looking for their waxing services, they offer all the standards (brow, lip, arms, Brazilian, etc.) and also offer bundle waxes. An example is the full facial wax which includes brows, forehead, cheeks, sideburns, lip, chin, and right under the jawbone for only $55! More complete waxing is also available in the full legs, full arms, and full back. There’s even a full-body option if you’re up for it.

More interested in facial services?? Lumi’s list of facials covers all of the bases. Their dermaplane facial is the perfect way to give your skin a TRUE refresh. You will be cleansed of the oils and dirt on the surface of your skin with a small blade that will reveal a fresh new layer of skin. Want to kick it up a notch? Add the jelly mask to follow for the ultimate glow. Facials involving extractions and moisturizing are involved as options if dermaplane isn’t your thing. Lastly, Lumi offers brow and lash services. In addition to brow waxes, they also have brow tinting and lamination. Bundle all three together for a lower price. They also recently added lash lifts and tints to their menu of options with those staff skills being added to the team!

There are hundreds of nail salons in the Pittsburgh area, but none are quite like Paint Nail Bar. This luxury nail bar is all about a clean, fume-free environment.

Their trendy salon located in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh offers gel, Gel-X, and sculpted gel manicures and gel pedicures. No harmful or contaminated acrylic or dip is used here! 

The Gel-X is a soft gel nail extension system perfect for keeping your nails healthy while still achieving the length you desire. The sculpted gel is made of bioseaweed gel and acts as an alternative to acrylic without the toxins or chemicals in acrylic nails. Each of these options offers basic paint, simple nail art, or elaborate nail art, so feel free to go crazy with a design! Paint’s Instagram offers tons of nail art inspo. Other add-on options include a French mani/pedi, an extended massage, or paraffin wax.
