WAHt the..
You knows Pussy loves its claws. Especially colourful jeweled ones. In the heart of Dalston on Kingsland road, a new kind of boutique has opened up. It’s the brainchild of WAH magazine founder Sharmadean Reid; WAH Nails promises to give you a different experience whilst getting your nails did. Half Nail boutique, half gallery-come-boutique, they stock everything from old issues of ID Magazine to Married to the Mob and Stussy Girls. We went down to check out the nails and sales.
It already stands out as a place to be from the bus passing down the road. Colourful banana typo in the window, hula hoops and magazines displayed by the door. On arrival Pussy got a friendly welcome and a cup of tea, and the chance to design what nail art you want on some illustrated print outs. I opted for a gloomy bear style bloody claw (after hawking one on my phone for a good while), and sat down for my treatment with Sharmadean. She was great, and the nails were exactly what I’d hoped for. People been checking them out on the bus since. Sharmadean hopes for WAH domination, and a sister boutique in her hometown of Wolverhampton, where her family could take over and work. It good to know this girl is proud of where she came from and hoping to give something back. It’s fun and the nail art is well done, and gives the customer a chance to get creative and get what they really want. Head down for some new stitches, nail work or keep checking the blog for one of their up and coming parties!
Nail art starts from £8, find it at 420 Kingsland Road, London, E8 4AA, 020 7812 9889.
