Our Story

Where Dark Meets Opulence

Founded by Vivienne Mackay in 2020, Gilded Touch was conceived as an antidote to the typical nail salon — a space that feels more like a private members' club than a high street appointment.

Every client is treated to an unhurried, immersive experience. We work exclusively with premium professional products, offering services that blend technical precision with genuine artistry.
