Beauty & Nails

Beauty & Nails is an independent boutique beauty bar that sits inconspicuously in the heart of Glasgow’s City Centre, and in the hub of the «financial district». It’s also within easy walking distance from my office. This is my go-​to for superb quality service when I need a little TLC after an intensive day at the office, before a special occasion or (sunny) holiday away. Beauty & Nails offers an array of treatments ranging from facials, massages, waxing, brows, lashes, tanning, manicures, and pedicures.
I first went to B&N when they were running a special offer for my company. I was gearing up for a holiday, so I quickly booked an appointment. I can only really comment on the manicures and pedicures, specifically Shellac. Shellac is pretty much the 2-​week manicure; this stuff lasts (unless you seriously abuse your hands and feet). The only issues with Shellac is: 1) If you get bored or are fickle, you’re kind of stuck with the same colour for 2 weeks 2) If your nails grow as fast as mine, you’re guaranteed to see re-​growth on your nail bed within the first week, so I stick with the neutral colours so it’s less obvious. Shellac is great for special occasions and when you’re going on holiday because it doesn’t chip… however, if it does within the first few days of having it done, the ladies at B&N are more than happy to repair it for you at no cost. The place itself is immaculate and intimate, and the service is always warm and welcoming. The ladies are gentle with your hands and feet, generally good banter, and are always professional. They are also stockists of Dermalogica products, which I’m a fan of. So when I’m in need of a quick lunchtime or after work beauty fix, B&N is certainly at the top of my list.
