East Austin · Hair & nails
Quiet luxury for hair and hands.
An appointment-only studio for considered color, precise cuts, and manicures that photograph as well as they wear.
Our commitment
A smaller studio. Higher standards.
Lumen is built around unhurried appointments, strong craft, and a room that feels like a private atelier—not a row of chairs under fluorescent light.
We keep the calendar intentional so every cut, color, and manicure gets the time it deserves. Excellence is the baseline; refinement is the work.

Team
People who treat craft as a practice.
Three stylists, one shared standard—clear communication, careful work, and a calm chair.
Maya Chen
Founder · Color
Maya opened Lumen after a decade in color studios across Austin and Los Angeles. She specializes in soft contrast and lived-in blonde that still looks intentional six weeks later.
Jordan Blake
Cut · Texture
Jordan builds shapes around how you actually wear your hair. Precision cuts, dry-cut detailing, and finishes that move—from office to weekend without a restyle ritual.
Sofia Reyes
Nails · Finishing
Sofia keeps manicures architectural and wearable—clean architecture, restrained art, and gel systems chosen for longevity without sacrificing the health of the nail plate.
A room that moves with creativity.
Music low, light soft, phones optional. We protect the pace so the work—and the visit—feel considered.
Products
We only use what is best for hair and nails.
Professional color systems, bond builders, and gel formulas selected for performance—not shelf appeal. If it doesn’t protect the fiber or the nail plate, it doesn’t stay on the cart.
Ask your stylist what they’re using on you. We’d rather explain the chemistry than hide behind a brand wall.
