Nail Salons
Nail and lash shop on Alexandra Road, right in the middle of Richmond's restaurant strip. Gel manicures, pedicures and lash extensions, and a sensible stop to pair with dinner nearby since evening slots exist.
Evening appointments are the point of this one. Gel manicures, pedicures and lash extensions are the sort of thing you can slot in before a meal, and U2 Nails Eyelashes sits on Alexandra Road, where the meal is already the reason most people are on the street after six.
Alexandra Road is the densest restaurant strip in the country by some counts, a short run off No. 3 Road where kitchens turn over constantly and parking is a competitive sport. A nail and lash shop in the middle of it is an interesting piece of positioning. If you are already coming here for hot pot or barbecue with a group, doing your nails on the same trip solves the parking problem once instead of twice, which on that street is not a small saving.
The lots along Alexandra are mostly small and shared between plazas, and they fill from about six onwards. Aberdeen station is a few minutes on foot, and on a Friday the train is the better call. Lash work in particular rewards booking properly rather than dropping in, since a full set takes real time in the chair and shops on this strip run tight schedules. Ask about fill appointments while you are arranging the first one. That is the part people forget to plan for and then need at short notice, usually two days before something they have known about for months.
In the Golden Village neighbourhood of Richmond.
