How it started and how its going...
luxe & luna
Regarded as two of Nashville’s most beloved aestheticians and leading experts in their field,
Lily Thuresson and Summer Moore are the heart, soul,
(and madness) behind luxe & luna —
a uniquely refined and curated boutique spa for ladies & gentlemen.
Opening in May of 2020..
"Owning a business doesn't come without trial, but to open a business during a worldwide pandemic is a unique challenge.
But for Ukrainian immigrant Lily Thuresson, who had dreamed of being a business owner since moving to the U.S. in the nineties, waiting it out was never an option.
The co-owner of luxe & luna, a boutique spa in the Nations, began making her American dream a reality in 2000 when she earned her aesthetics license and began buiiding her clientele. Thuresson worked alongside aesthetician, Summer Moore, who she realized would be the perfect partner in helping her run a successful business.
They traveled around the globe to find the most effective luxury skincare, massage, and facial treatments. Their travels included a stop in New York to try Lotion P50, an exclusive, cult classic product widely considered to be the holy grail of the beauty industry.
"When in New York, I went to a spa and had their Biologique Recherche facial. It was the most extraordinary facial I'd ever had", says Moore. "The treatment and products changed my skin in such a fast and dramatic way that we decided we couldn't open our future business without Biologique Recherche.
Inspired, the partners continued to build their business plan for 3 more years. As they built out their burgeoning space (using home equity lines of credit), they went through a lengthy application process to acquire Biologique Recherche before officially opening luxe & luna in May of 2020-- at the height of the pandemic.
"It was terrifying to open. They were saying to stay masked and six feet away from people and we were opening a business where you have to take your mask off and be six inches away", Moore says. "Gratefully our clients trusted us and appreciated the design of our spa being bright, clean, and open."
