Nail Care & Common Questions
Getting your nails done is an investment in how you feel. We want you to know exactly what to expect—from how long your nails will last to how to care for them at home. Below are the questions we hear most often, answered directly.
How long do gel nails last?
Gel nails typically last 3–4 weeks with proper care. After that time, you'll start to see natural nail growth at the base, and the gel may begin to lift slightly. We recommend scheduling a fill appointment every 2–3 weeks to keep your nails looking fresh and prevent breakage.
How do I care for gel nails to prevent peeling or lifting?
Gel nails peel when moisture gets trapped underneath or when the nail bed shifts. To prevent this: avoid prolonged water exposure (wear gloves when washing dishes), apply cuticle oil daily to keep the nail bed moisturized, avoid harsh chemicals and acetone, and don't use your nails as tools. If you notice lifting starting, come in early for a fill—we can catch it before it spreads.
What's the difference between gel and acrylic nails?
Gel nails are lighter, more flexible, and cure under UV light—they feel more like natural nails and are gentler on your nail beds. Acrylics are mixed from powder and liquid, they're stronger and more durable, and they're ideal if you want maximum length or if your nails are very brittle. Both look great; it comes down to your lifestyle and preference. We offer both at Luu.
How much is a manicure and pedicure in San Diego?
Manicure and pedicure pricing varies by service type—basic polish, gel, or acrylic all have different price points. We keep our pricing competitive for San Diego without cutting corners on quality. For exact pricing on the specific service you want, call us at (858) 380-8770 and we'll give you a quote right away.
Can I get custom nail designs?
Absolutely. Our technicians love creating custom designs—whether it's a specific pattern, color combination, or theme for a special occasion. You can bring inspiration photos or describe what you're picturing, and we'll bring it to life. Custom designs may take a bit longer than basic manicures, so mention what you want when you book so we schedule enough time.
Do you use high-quality products?
Yes. We use professional-grade gel and polish to ensure your nails look great and last as long as possible. Quality products are one reason our nails don't peel early—cheap gel and acrylic break down faster and are harder on your natural nails. We stand behind our work, and that starts with using the right materials.
How do I book a nail appointment?
Call us at (858) 380-8770. We're open Monday–Friday 11 AM–8 PM and Saturday–Sunday 1 PM–5:30 PM. We take appointments one person at a time, so you get focused, personalized attention. Easy parking is right out front at 1201 Morena Boulevard.
