Luxurious Spa & Nails brings together professional nail care and a relaxed, spa-like atmosphere across four New Zealand locations — Christchurch Northlands, Christchurch Westfield Riccarton, Dunedin and Invercargill. Founded by Sanjana Kumar, the salon was built around a simple idea: deliver exceptional beauty results in a short amount of time, while still leaving customers feeling genuinely pampered rather than rushed.
The salon's tagline — "affordable luxury at your fingertips" — sums up its positioning well. Treatments are designed to easily fit into a busy day, yet still deliver the feeling of a proper spa visit. Walk-ins are welcome at any location, though booking ahead helps avoid a wait. The salon's interiors are designed with curved lines and soft surrounds intended to imitate nature and soothe the mind, creating a calm space to escape the hustle and bustle outside.
The treatment menu covers the essentials and beyond. Acrylic nails, using Attraction Nail products, let clients extend and shape their natural nails for a bold, glamorous look. Ombré treatments blend two or more colours into a soft gradient effect, achievable across gel, glitter, dipping powder or matte finishes. Dipping powder treatments use a formula enriched with vitamins A, E, D, B5 and calcium, aimed at creating stronger, healthier nails that resist chipping. For those wanting extra durability, builder's gel offers a thick, long-lasting gel polish that adds length and strength to natural nails or tips, holding up for 3 to 5 weeks with proper care.
Beyond nail extensions and powders, Luxurious Spa & Nails offers a full manicure and pedicure menu, with standard, premium and gel options available for adults, plus dedicated kids' services for children aged 9 and under. Premium manicures include a sugar scrub, while premium pedicures add both a sugar scrub and dead skin removal — a more thorough pampering session for those wanting the full experience.
The salon works with established professional brands throughout its treatments, including Gelish for gel polish and dipping powder, Morgan Taylor for nail polish, and Attraction Nail for acrylics. According to the salon, its technicians are experienced, professional, and genuinely enjoy connecting with clients — an approach the salon describes as "like talking to your favourite hairdresser," with staff taking time to understand each client's style preferences before providing personalised advice.
For clients wanting to customise their treatment further, a range of add-ons is available, including chrome and cat eye finishes, 3D nail designs, French tips, nail art, and repair services like nail fixes and cuticle cuts. Students can present a valid student card for a 12% discount on treatments over $45, and student group bookings can be arranged by calling or visiting a salon. Gift vouchers covering all services are also available in-store, making the salon a convenient gifting option.
With locations spread across the South Island — Christchurch (two locations), Dunedin and Invercargill — Luxurious Spa & Nails aims to make its blend of premium products, friendly service and consistent brand experience accessible wherever clients are based, all with the flexibility of a simple walk-in visit.
