Iris Avenue — nail and beauty bar in Bloomsbury

Iris Avenue is a polished nail and beauty bar on the Bloomsbury–Fitzrovia border that feels closer to a boutique hotel than a traditional salon. It is known for immaculate, long-lasting manicures and a hospitable, unhurried experience.

Services

The signature is BIAB (builder-gel) and gel manicures with precise cuticle work and refined nail art, alongside pedicures. Beauty treatments run wide: lash extensions and lifts, brow threading, facials, waxing, spray tanning and massage.

Technology & brands

Facials are built on Dermalogica skincare, and BIAB builder gel underpins the long-wear manicures. Hygiene is a point of pride — single-use tools where appropriate, thorough sterilisation and rigorous cleanliness maintained at every station.

Team & masters

The bar is run by an experienced team of nail technicians and beauty therapists specialising in long-lasting BIAB, immaculate cuticle work and detailed nail artistry. The salon has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Tatler, Vanity Fair, Country & Town House and GQ.

The Space

Interiors are calm and considered, with an on-site bar serving coffee and cocktails — designed so a manicure feels like a treat rather than an errand, and ideal for groups and celebrations.

Who it’s for

For anyone who wants a flawless, durable manicure, clients combining nails with lashes, brows or a facial, and groups booking for weddings, birthdays and corporate events.
