Located in the heart of Mayfair, lies the busy woman’s answer to high quality, affordable beauty treatments. Opening its doors just over a month ago, Nails & Brows focuses on enhancing natural beauty and promises a quick, premium service to all who visit. This week, we visited the capital’s chic new salon and were treated to a couple of their best-loved treatments.
Set back from the hustle and bustle of Green Park, Nails & Brows is set in an ideal, central location and lures you in with it’s crisp and modern exterior. The beautiful, clean aesthetic continues inside with the flawless whitewashed walls, soft lighting and the added detail of fresh spring flowers positioned at each station- capturing a relaxed, intimate boutique feel which works perfectly as a refreshing contrast from hectic London life.
If you’re a devoted nail-biter or if you’re looking to give your hands a convenient, long-lasting splash of colour, the Shellac-gel manicure is highly recommended. With a vast choice of the colours from pastels to deep reds and purples, there’s a polish to suit every taste and occasion. The treatment begins with maintenance work on the cuticle and nail area- at which point you can sit back and watch the latest catwalk shows and fashion updates on the salon’s plasma TV. The gel-polish is then expertly applied and finished off with a dab of cuticle cream to keep your nails feeling healthy and rejuvenated. The manicure takes around 30 minutes and is the perfect choice for workingwomen who are desperately looking for a quick, immaculate polish on their lunch breaks.
Located upstairs is the waxing and facial treatment area, and this is where un-styled or over-grown eyebrows can be transformed into those which are perfectly arched, tinted and shaped to suit your natural face shape and to accentuate your eyes. You’ll never want to take the tweezers to your own eyebrows again after experiencing the Brow Make-Over treatment at this salon- and what’s even better is that the products they use are derived from Hollywood’s eyebrow king- Demone Roberts, who has clients such as Beyonce and Madonna, so you’re sure to leave feeling like a star.
Firstly, the beauty technician asks you what you like and dislike about your natural brows and the shape you’re hoping to achieve. After you’re finished wallowing in self-pity about not being blessed with Cara Delevigne’s eyebrows, you’re talked through what shape and tint-colour will work best to compliment your features and facial structure. The tinting process begins, followed by the waxing (which is surprisingly un-painful) and some threading to ensure every last stray hair is eliminated. The treatment is finished with some lovely-smelling natural products to reduce any soreness and concealer is then applied so you’re ready to walk out and show off your amazing, enviable eyebrows to the public.
The great thing about Nails & Brows and what really sets it apart from other beauty salon’s is the fact it is open until 8pm on weekdays and is even open on a Sunday- meaning that it’s a reliable, convenient salon which strives to always have available spaces and drop-in services for it’s customers. The treatments are undeniable amazing value for the reasonable cost and we’ve got no doubt that it’s fast to become one of the most sought-after salons in the capital.
