Johannesburg’s beauty and lifestyle scene just got a major upgrade. Having opened its doors just shy of a month ago at 55 7th Avenue in the trendy suburb of Parktown North, Nails Dunn Beauty Bar & Café is rapidly establishing itself as Joburg’s hottest new luxury destination.
Founded by Germaine Dunn, Nails Dunn Beauty Bar & Café is reimagining the traditional salon visit by creating a lifestyle destination where self-care meets café culture. Designed for those who appreciate a touch of everyday indulgence, the space seamlessly merges top-tier nail artistry and targeted aesthetic treatments with artisanal coffee, fresh pastries, and curated floral arrangements.
Having opened its doors just under a month ago, the destination is already introducing a fresh take on the beauty and café scene, inviting guests to slow down, settle in and enjoy a space that brings several everyday pleasures together.
“At Nails Dunn, I wanted to create a space that moves away from the rushed, transactional feel of traditional salons and crowded coffee shops. This concept was born out of a desire to bring beauty, lifestyle, and everyday indulgence together under one roof,” says Germaine Dunn, founder of Nails Dunn Beauty Bar & Café. “There’s something special about bringing beauty, coffee, delicious treats and flowers together. It gives people a reason to stay a little longer, connect with one another and leave feeling good. That’s the feeling I want everyone to take with them when they visit us.”
Beauty, bites and beautiful blooms
At the heart of the experience is Nails Dunn’s beauty offering, complemented by a café, fresh flowers and additional wellness treatments, making it easy to turn a quick appointment into a much-needed moment of me-time.
Coffee lovers can head straight to Bite Me Café, where Oprah Thompson brings the café experience to life with freshly prepared treats, delicious pastries and locally brewed coffee from Bean There. Whether it’s a morning pick-me-up, a mid-afternoon coffee break or a catch-up with friends, Bite Me offers the perfect excuse to pause and indulge.
For those looking to take their self-care a step further, Satori Beauty and Wellness, owned by Hayley Jill Newel, is also located on the premises, offering laser hair removal and specialised beauty treatments. The result is a convenient, all-in-one destination where guests can combine their beauty routines with a little relaxation and something delicious along the way.
Fresh flowers add another pop of colour to the space, with beautiful bunches available to brighten up a home or make a thoughtful gift. After all, flowers hardly need a special occasion.
Your new favourite place to press pause
In a city that rarely slows down, Nails Dunn Beauty Bar & Café offers a reason to do just that. It’s about making time for yourself without needing a special occasion, because a great coffee, a fresh set of nails, a delicious pastry or flowers on the kitchen counter can be reason enough to celebrate an ordinary day.
Parktown North now has a new spot where you can get your nails done, grab a really good coffee, enjoy something sweet and leave with fresh flowers in hand. Nails Dunn brings all these little pleasures together in one place, making it an easy choice for a catch-up with friends or a treat-yourself afternoon.
Nails Dunn Beauty Bar & Café is located at 55 7th Avenue, Parktown North, Johannesburg. Bookings can be made via the FRESHA app or directly on WhatsApp at 061 588 1169.
