Claws and Pause started with a simple idea: build the salon I actually wanted to walk into or work in. Independent, honest, and run by people who care about the work as much as the experience around it.

We're home to a team of self-employed nail technicians and beauty therapists, each running their own business under one roof. No chain, no corporate playbook, no pressure to upsell. Just fair pricing, real skill, and a space where you're never rushed out the door.

It's why people end up staying longer than they planned. The nails are the reason you book. The rest is why you come back.

More than a nail salon

"A space for women to connect, be looked after, and feel like themselves.”
