Nail atelier — Berlin Mitte

a manicure you forget you're wearing

Forty shades, six artists, one room on Linienstraße. Berlin's quietest nail atelier.

The idea

We removed everything that wasn't the hand.

No music you didn't choose. No upsell. No wall of posters telling you what beauty is. GLANZ is one long room with six chairs, north light, and a shelf of four hundred bottles.

You sit down, you choose a colour, and for ninety minutes nothing is asked of you. That is the entire concept, and it took us twelve years to get it this simple.

The room

Twelve square metres of quiet on Linienstraße.

Ground floor, courtyard side, so the street noise never reaches you.

The reception: a plaster counter with dried branches in a stoneware vase

The hands behind it

What people say

I have been going for six years and have never once been asked to try something extra.

Anke R., Prenzlauer Berg

The shape lasts. A GLANZ gel still looks right after four weeks in three climates.

Delphine M., Kreuzberg

It is the only appointment in my week I do not want to be shorter.
