Find Your Belgravia: Lauren Williams, London Grace
London Grace is the definition of perfection. A nail bar, café and bar, it’s the place to go when you’re in the mood for a good looking set of nails along and a catch up with friends over a glass of wine or a cappuccino. From the moment you enter, you can feel yourself relaxing, knowing you’re in the capable hands of experts who work with quality products to produce the perfect finish. From the biodegradable straws in their cocktails to the formaldehyde-free nail lacquers, every detail of your experience is carefully considered.
Tell us a brief history of your brand – how it all began, what you do and your plans for the future.
Our Founder, Kirsten Hazell opened the first London Grace store in 2015.Since then, we’ve grown to become London’s leading nail care brand with ten stores across the city. Kirsten wanted to transform nail care from feeling like a ‘chore,’ into a fun, social experience so she created a nail bar, coffee shop and cocktail bar concept with late night opening hours. We are a conscious beauty brand with our own collection of vegan and ‘no-nasties’ nail care products and we’re proud to offer dry treatments, which save thousands of litres of water per week.
