Beauty salons of Copenhagen

This month I’d like to delve into beauty salons and where I’ve recently been spending some “ME” time. These are the go-to places to escape the stress, recharge your work-life balance, and get beautified. So there’s no doubt you will find me in either one of these salons getting a facial or having a full-on mani-pedi.

Miss Nails by Lene Mejborn

Miss Nails Manicure & Pedicure welcomes you to a nail salon out of the ordinary, in the middle of beautiful Østerbro, Copenhagen.

The salon is inviting and cosy with a modern, feminine look, and there is both space and time to relax your shoulders, enjoy a cup of coffee and have your hard-working hands and feet cared for.

Whether you are looking for a clean, minimalist and well-groomed look, classic colours, or would instead explore the latest trends in colourful nail art, it is all possible at MissNails.

Lene Mejborn, Miss Nails, is a skilled, accommodating and professional nail technician with more than 6 years of experience. Lene has several certifications and courses behind her and keeps up to date on new techniques, materials and trends.

My very first experience with Lene was nothing short of top class, coupled with her warm and inviting nature. Miss Nails allows you to sit back, relax whilst she clips, files, buffs and paints your nails to perfection. Lene takes care of those cracked heels, chipped nails like a pro. You leave feeling smooth, soft and even lighter in your step.

“I have always been in love with the idea of making people feel great about themselves, and this job is something I do with love and passion.” - Lene Mejborn

Juicy Beauty by Osky Kristjansdottir

The Co-Owner of Juicy Beauty, also known as Osky, is an absolute perfectionist in every sense. From the looks of her salon, which is probably the coolest and most unique retro dream boutique, all the way down her fabulous treatments. You feel her experienced professional hands working every facial muscle on your face during her treatments. Her carefully selected products are of the highest quality, with delicious oils, lotions, rosewater and toners. I usually book in for the Icelandic facial treatment, which boasts the finest products imported from Iceland. Her experienced hands rejuvenate the circulation in your face, using only her palms and fingertips - this is when you know you have an actual therapist doing their magic.

“I wanted to create a place where my customers can feel special, a place like no other in copenhagen with a retro look, strongly inspired by the colours of American 1940-1950. I truly love interior design as much as I love to beautify and pamper my clients. Besides facials, we also do all kinds of waxing, with Brazilian waxing being our speciality.” - Osky Kristjansdottir
