Few nail bars rival Townhouse. If you’re after flawless results, longevity and the ease of last-minute bookings, we can’t recommend them enough. Not only is the entire experience a joy – think rosé and fizz while you sit and unwind – the manicurists are all highly vetted for the best results every time. Their cuticle work is seriously impressive. You’re in safe hands whoever you see, but several stand out for their expertise in wedding nails: Monica Villanueva at King’s Road, Belen Junqueira at Mayfair, Magga Gudnadottir at Marble Arch and Daisy Denny at Victoria.

Megan Margot Evans

She believes in careful nail prep, taking the time to nourish, exfoliate and quench hands and fingertips before any colour is applied. Expect high shine and a nail shape you could only dream of achieving yourself. Megan is known for her use of milky tones and soft neutrals, but if you want something more intricate for your big day, she offers subtle nail art and playful placements of colour that will catch the eye nicely. We love her use of the brand Navy too – its cuticle balm is one of the best we’ve ever tried.

Harriet Westmoreland
Another A-list favourite, and an OPI brand ambassador, Harriet Westmoreland is self-taught – she was inspired to go into nails after watching her grandmother painting her own at home.

Most recently, she’s worked with Hailey Bieber and flew out to Marbella for Sophie Habboo’s wedding. A quick glance at her Instagram will show you why she’s so popular. We recommend booking well in advance if you can – Harriet has a lengthy waitlist.
