WELCOME

Beauty services for weddings, events, lessons, skincare, and everyday main-character moments.

At Luminous Beauty, we believe beauty should feel like you — polished, comfortable, expressive, and never one-size-fits-all.

We are an award-winning, queer-owned beauty company located inside the historic Semple Mansion in Minneapolis. Our team specializes in wedding hair and makeup, special event beauty, gender-affirming makeup applications and lessons, skincare, waxing, massage, and private beauty experiences.

Whether you are getting married, updating your makeup routine, preparing for a photoshoot, or simply craving a little expert care, our goal is to help you feel confident, cared for, and completely yourself.

Weddings & Special Events: From intimate studio appointments to full wedding parties, we bring calm, organization, and artistry to your beauty experience. Our team is known for clean, polished, camera-ready hair and makeup that still looks like you — just beautifully elevated.

Studio services are available for individuals and small groups. On-site wedding and event services are available for parties of five or more.

Makeup Lessons & Gender-Affirming Beauty: Our private makeup lessons are designed for real life, real faces, and real comfort levels. Whether you want a natural everyday look, a bolder special occasion style, or support exploring gender expression, we offer a welcoming, judgment-free space to learn, experiment, and build confidence.

No beauty gatekeeping. No weird vibes. Just helpful guidance, good lighting, and probably a few makeup brushes doing tiny miracles.

Skincare & Self-Care Services: Our in-studio skincare services include customized facials, chemical peels, and microneedling designed to support healthy, radiant skin and real-life goals.

We believe self-care is not frivolous — it is restorative, confidence-building, and worthy of intention

Transformative & Gender-Affirming Makeup: Open a whole new world of possibilities with our inclusive makeup applications and lessons for individuals exploring gender expression. Our skilled artists provide a supportive and encouraging environment that helps you feel comfortable and validated in your own skin. Choose a Transformative Makeup Application for a night out on the town or a Gender-Affirming Makeup Lesson where you can master basic techniques or experiment with advanced looks. Our lessons will empower you to express your identity with confidence.

In-Salon Spa Services: Pamper yourself with soothing facials, embrace the glow with chemical peels, stimulate your skin with microneedling, achieve smooth perfection with waxing, and surrender to the ultimate relaxation with our revitalizing massages. Our team is dedicated to enhancing your inner and outer radiance.

Coming Soon: The Grotto Headspa at Luminous Beauty: We are excited to introduce The Grotto Headspa at Luminous Beauty — a luxury scalp and wellness experience designed to combine relaxation with customized scalp-focused care.

Thoughtful treatments, cozy surroundings, and a little escape from the chaos of everyday life are on the horizon.

Stay tuned.
