Dubbed 'the most luxurious nail salon in the world', The Townhouse features private mani-and-pedi booths, ultra high-end interiors, and an eye-catching marble manicure bar—and that's just the aesthetics.

A nail salon or nail bar is a specialty beauty salon establishment that primarily offers nail care services such as manicures, pedicures, and nail enhancements. Often, nail salons also offer skin care services. Manicures are also offered by general beauty salons, spas, and hotels.
