Unless you’ve been living under a rock with limited wifi access, you’ll know that nail art is hot property. It seems as if every other unit in the city centre is some sort of nail bar, but if you’re going to wear something on your body in a semi-permanent fashion, you don’t want to play fast and loose with quality. Studio 64 (not to be confused with the infamous glamorous NYC nightclub of a similar name) knows that it’s a crowded field out there when it comes to gels, acrylics, BIABs and luxury spa treatments.
That’s why they make a point of staying on top of what’s big in the world of nail art – a scroll through their Instagram feed is a tour of the most creatively executed, on-trend designs – ranging from the classic french manis to abstract, Pinterest-inspired designs complete with hand painted nail art, diamantes, airbrush effects and pretty much anything you (or your algorithm) could dream up.
Their studio on Shudehill is a glistening, contemporary space which is a haven of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the interchange outside. Whether you work in town and need a lunch hour glow-up, or are heading into town especially for some self-care, you can expect professional, affordable and speedy treatments. That is, unless you want to take your time with something a little more luxurious. Deluxe pedicures for example, include a bath bomb, cuticle care, callus removal, exfoliating sugar scrub, collagen mask and a relaxing foot massage, all finished off with a hot towel wrap. Clients even get to pick their preferred scent of treatment. Basically, whatever you want from your salon experience, Studio 64 nail it.
