Dublin Beauty Lounge is a small boutique salon on Lower Leeson Street, close to St Stephens Green. It is run by Suzi, who has around seventeen years behind her in nails and beauty, and the format is deliberately one-to-one, a single client at a time rather than a busy floor. Sculpted nails and facials are the specialities. That setup means appointments need to be booked in advance and the diary fills quickly, but it also means treatments are unhurried. A good fit for anyone who finds larger salons impersonal or rushed.
