Hygiene you can see
Tools come out of a sealed autoclave pouch in front of you. Files, buffers and pedicure liners are single-use.
Since 2019
Started by two technicians who wanted a quieter salon
Jess and Ana met working back-to-back shifts at a busy downtown chain — forty-minute appointments, and never enough time to do the art properly.
In 2019 they opened Lacquer & Lace with six chairs and one rule: book enough time to do it right. Today there are three of us, a wall of more than four hundred colours, and a playlist we've been arguing about for years.
This founding story is fictional. Lacquer & Lace is a demonstration website, not a real salon, and the events and dates above are invented.
What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on
Natural nails first
No harsh drilling and no peeling gel off. HEMA-free and vegan polish options for sensitive skin.
Honest pricing
The price on the menu is the price you pay. Custom art is quoted before we pick up a brush.
The team
Who'll be doing your nails
J
Jess
Twelve years in, and still the person to see for long, strong extensions that don't lift.
A
Ana
Florals, tiny lettering, portraits of your dog — if it fits on a nail, Ana can paint it.
M
Mei
Our chrome and cat-eye specialist, and the calmest pair of hands for a first pedicure.
Jess, Ana and Mei are fictional characters. They are not real people. Their roles, years of experience and specialisms were written to show how a salon team is presented on this site.
