London's best salons for nail art and a proper pamper

Looking for the best nail art and pampering manicures in London? We’ve got you covered.

Freedom Day may have been delayed, but it’s not all bad news: we’re still allowed into salons, after all.

And as we try to keep chipper for the month(s) ahead, we’d strongly recommend taking advantage of this particular part of lockdown easing.

We might not be able to hit the clubs, but what we can treat ourselves to is a proper pamper.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up our favourite London salons where you can get glorious nail art and fancy treatments to make you feel your best.

Iris Avenue

A newbie on the block, this beauty bar in Fitzrovia is well worth a visit.

Swing by for intricate and on-trend nail art – from cloud prints to custom designs – while you enjoy tipples from the curated cocktail menu. The Taste Of The Clouds is as delicious (it tastes like Parma Violets) as it is Instagram-worthy.

If you’re keen for more pampering in the stunning setting, book in a iS Clinical facial or an ‘offline’ massage.

Shoreditch Nails

The team at Shoreditch Nails are the queens of nails art – they even do workshops to teach you all the classic designs.

Head here for super wearable styles, such as tortoiseshell and squiggles, along with the latest trends.

For now, we’d suggest asking for daisy nails.

Townhouse Nails at Harrods

If you really want to go all out, book in for the exclusive Harrods manicure, which comes in at a whopping £185.

This combines full manicure with a 20-minute massage and luxurious Chantecaille skincare products, including a black volcanic sand scrub enriched with mother of pearl.

Don’t panic if you don’t fancy dropping over a hundred quid on a mani, though. The signature manicures are far more affordable, so you can justify adding on the nail art option.

Try the Hans Crescent Harrods Exclusive for something ultra classy.

Pili Does Nails

If you want full-on, outrageous glam, pay a visit to Pili Does Nails, where you’ll get decked out in glitter, crystals, and whatever wild design you can dream up.

You can go for more subtle options if you like, but really, you’d be wasting an opportunity. Let Pili’s team loose to create something truly special.

Selfish London

We’re fans of the more minimalist designs at Selfish, but the technicians aren’t scared to go bold, too.

Try out a colourful French mani, a perfectly done ombre, or a custom abstract style.

Selfish also offers facials, non-surgical facial toning, lash extensions, and waxing, so you can do a full makeover day if you’re keen.

Book online here.

Still London

Still is all about their natural, vegan, and cruelty-free credentials. Pop to their Dalston salon for a moment of pure calm – along with the most up-to-date nail art trends.

Ama The Salon

Ama The Salon is a celeb fave, and the place where all the cool kids go. Even Solange Knowles has had her nails done by the founder, Ama.

We’re fans of the flame and tie-dye designs, but if you’re up for spending a bit extra, try something custom.

Book online here.

Shian Nails

https://www.instagram.com/p/CQS9M7xnNJO/

Another newly-opened salon to support, Shian Nails prides itself on providing all-natural nails with bespoke nail art and treatments.

We’re fans of the cheery smiley face nails – and the resident pups that hang out in the salon.
