SHAFTESBURY ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF INDEPENDENT NAIL BAR SO.SHELL

Shaftesbury announces the opening of So.Shell Nail Bar in Carnaby. The 738 sq ft space over 2 floors is located at 34 Marshall Street and opens on 10th December. It is the brand’s first UK store and offers a range of nail, eyebrow and lash services with two treatment rooms.

So.Shell is a place where customers don’t have to compromise between time and quality, a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow treatment can all be done in 90 minutes. The wide choice of treatments include nail extensions, nail art, lash treatments and brow lamination performed by highly qualified professionals which can be done at the same time.

On the ground floor there will be a manicure zone and on the lower ground floor a pedicure zone. Brow treatments are available to add on to any manicure/pedicure treatment. Customers can enjoy a range of refreshments from soft drinks to cocktails and prosecco whilst being pampered.

So.Shell has created multiple successful projects in Ukraine including a nail school, and will continue to create awareness for the Ukrainian crisis by hiring Ukrainian refugees. The So.Shell nail school in Kyiv provided a range of courses for nail technicians and all of these procedures will be available in the UK. All the people working on the project are Ukrainians including the team in London and people working remotely from Ukraine.

Samantha Bain-Mollison, Retail Director at Shaftesbury says “We are excited to welcome So.Shell’s first standalone nail bar to Carnaby. Providing top-quality but time saving simultaneous beauty treatments is a great concept for busy Londoner’s. With Carnaby being one of the busiest destinations in London, So.Shell is the perfect addition for visitors and locals. As well as providing a great service in London, So.Shell will continue to support their Ukrainian routes by providing job opportunities and training.”

Yana Galiyeva, Owner at So.Shell says “Our aim is to establish a unique space, not only in the services we provide but in the atmosphere. We’ve created a stress-free environment where you can take a break from city life and where we can help people not just to look beautiful, but to feel beautiful. We will offer a range of simultaneous beauty services that are meeting the highest standards, our team has more than seven years experience and know how to achieve a top quality result that will last for weeks. To continue our work with our Ukraine projects we will also be providing job opportunities and training for Ukranians who had to flee the country due to the ongoing war.”

Treatments include; manicure/pedicure, Ukrainian manicure/pedicure, brows/lash tint, brow shape, brow lamination and lash lift/curl. Prices start from £15 for brows and lashes and manicures start from £22.

The design and interior of the store is created by a Ukrainian designer and all the furniture is produced in Ukraine.
