Meet Almond Nails

For those of you that don’t know the salon or myself already, my name is Sacha Almond and I created Sacha’s Nails & Make up about 11 years ago.

I have been on quite a journey since then but I now have my own salon, my wee pink paradise, in the heart of Glasgow city centre on Buchanan Street! I have also been an educator with Louella Belle for 2 years teaching all things nails.

Recently, businesses have had to adapt to keep afloat during this weird shift in the world. I noticed a slight change in the services that were required from my business which pushed me to introduce Almond Nails.

Established roughly 2016 without a business name but brought to life during a global pandemic in 2020!

Like many creatives, lockdown gave me time to pull out the vague ‘business plan’ I’d made years ago for the second part of Sacha’s and begin to make it work long term. So here we are, my signature nail shape and my surname... Almond Nails is born!

This new chapter will bring you press on nails and very cute merch striving to be as eco friendly as possible using recyclable and compostable packaging.

Also if you are a nail tech, you can continue your skills with a one to one masterclass with yours truly.

A lot of late nights, planning, crying & ‘winging it’ is finally paying off. I hope you all love this part of my business as much as you have loved every bit of ‘Sacha’s’ from the very beginning!

As always, thank you for the continued support

ABOUT SACHA

I founded Sacha’s Nails & Make up about 12 years ago. I have also been an educator with Louella Belle for 4 years now teaching all things nails.

I started out as a make up artist up in Glasgow city centre straight after college whilst still working in retail. I mainly did freelance for photoshoots and bridal make up. I networked and met so many lovely people along the way which eventually led me to salon management & nails.

Whilst on the road to becoming self employed, I managed a coffee shop, sold eyebrow pomade in the middle of shopping centres and did PR for a club…sometimes all in one day!

Over the years, Sacha’s has evolved from one wee nail desk in my friend’s hairdressers to two full salons in Glasgow and Troon. I’ve created jobs for an amazing team, and Sacha’s has become a safe space for many to come and chat, feel confident and empowered. And of course, have a good gab with your fave nail techs!

I’m really proud of my lovely team of women & the environment that we’ve created, as well as our high standard of service. We aim for the salons to feel welcoming, homely & familiar. A place to share fun stories or to have a cry, or both! We’re always here for you. We also really believe that a mani/pedi should just be like getting a haircut. Maintenance for humans, no matter your gender. Please don’t let my love of pink decor put you off visiting us!

We can’t wait to see you!
