Founder Tina Michael has created a nail salon in the heart of East London that beautifully combines the no-nonsense industrial attitude of the old East End with the stylish modernity of the new. In ordinary times, the place is buzzing with the best eclectic locals relaxing in the warm and welcoming surroundings. All the beautiful colours are vegan and cruelty free, made with 85% natural ingredients and named after our favourite local areas. Why not book in for Spring and get the full gel works for £35 and choose The Stokey in pale blue, or the summery red of The Hackney. The perfect way to pay homage to our favourite under-visited East London haunts. 2% of annual profits go to a selection of charities, so there’s really no excuse not to head down to Shoreditch Nails for a proper good pampering.

Trieu Nails

A stones throw away from Bethnal Green underground station, Trieu Nails is more hip New York cocktail bar than a traditional nail bar. Specialists in SNS manicures, a UV light-free process that involves dipping the nails in vitamin rich coloured powder, unisex salon Trieu Nails on Roman Road is the whole package. Walking into the interior of skilfully exposed brick and stylish armchairs, the first thing you’ll notice is the bar offering glasses of Prosecco and cocktails. Owner and East End local Lynn Trieu has been in the nail industry for 12 years and created Trieu Nails to cater for the young, working professionals in the area. Lynn’s salon offers a whole range of nail treatments, but she really is a pioneer of the Signature Nail Service. Perfect for those put off by the harsh chemicals in gel, the SNS powders are enriched with calcium and are actively good for your nails and cuticles. An SNS manicure takes around 60 minutes and costs £50 plus however many glasses of fizz you fancy.
