The salon

A second home

An independent, human-scale salon since 1984, where everyone is welcomed with care and attention.

At 56 Rue Ancienne, sage-green walls, woodwork and colourful touches inspired by Latin America create a warm, welcoming salon in the heart of Old Carouge.

Sakina and Margarita, certified nail technicians, welcome you from Monday to Saturday. Treatments are by appointment only.

Broken, damaged or injured nail? Let us take a look: after a visual assessment, we will tell you whether repair or reconstruction is possible.

Onglerie propre avec une jolie déco. Les prothésistes sont souriantes, agréables et dynamiques. Sakina fait un super travail soigné et elle est douce.

Good to know

Yes. The salon welcomes clients Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, by appointment only.

Gel polish lasts an average of three weeks.

Classic nail polish is easy to apply and remove. Gel polish lasts for several weeks. Gel, with tips or sculpting forms, strengthens or lengthens the nail. If you are unsure, show your nails to Sakina or Margarita: they will tell you honestly what suits you best.

Yes. Men are welcome at our nail salon. Our treatments offer them a moment of well-being while caring for their hands and feet.

Yes. Depending on the nail, repair or reconstruction may be possible. The listed price applies specifically to resin reconstruction of a damaged toenail, from CHF 50 excluding treatment. A visual assessment is needed before the service can be confirmed.

The covered Centre communal car park at 15 Rue Joseph-Girard, 1227 Carouge, is about a two-minute walk away. The tram is also very convenient: lines 12 and 18, “Ancienne” stop, just steps from the salon.
