They say a rest is as good as a change so when I heard Tolu Doherty was opening a standalone WOW Nails (she started out with a concession at The Palms) and would be offering hair styling services as well nails I thought “why not?” and took myself over on the Sunday before they officially opened last week.

I love doing my nails myself (I find it therapeutic!) but I still enjoy having them done especially when the technician knows what they are doing and I was not disappointed. She was happy to chat about what colours I liked, what nail art to try and then got on with doing them and doing them well. I went for gel nails in a deep red with some minimal nail art in gold.

Unlike my nails I don’t ever do all that much with my hair. Braids are my go to when I want something other than the three basic things I do with my natural hair (top knot, curly puff and 2 French braids) and I can not remember the last time I had a weave. I came ready with my hair and a picture of Kerry Washington for inspiration and once my nails were done went into the sink.

The hairstylist was understanding when I pulled out my coconut oil and shea aloe cream and the reeled off instructions for how to handle my natural hair and he seemed quite comfortable dealing with it. I dint have to stop him and take over at any point. Yes, I have done that on numerous occasions.

Anyway!  A few hours later, lots of gisting with Tolu and fellow patron Joke, I was coiffed, manicured and ready for a new week feeling rather… well,  rested!

I also picked up some luscious O.P.I Avojuice hand lotion and had to tear myself away from all the nail care and mani goodies she stocks.
