ABOUT

“The place for Bombass nails, fancy ass toothgems, the cutest tattoos, a good cup of coffee and a lot of gossiping.”

Welcome to your new favorite hangout in Antwerp — a not-so-average beauty salon that’s all about self-expression, connection, and good vibes only. We’re not just a studio, we’re a safe space where everyone — and we mean everyone — is welcome. Whether you’re here for some extra sparkle, bold ink, killer nails, or just a heart-to-heart over coffee, we’ve got you.

From the simplest mani to the wildest set of claws, delicate fine line tattoos to bold custom pieces, a subtle gem to full-on tooth gems — we celebrate all styles, all stories, all people. No matter your skin tone, gender, pronouns, or personality, there’s a spot for you here.

The idea for this space had been brewing for a while. I’m Zoë Coopman from Nailscafé, and for the longest time, I dreamt of creating a place that felt like a real café — cozy, familiar, and open to anyone who walked through the door. But my tiny home studio just couldn’t contain the vision I had. I knew I wanted to offer more than just nails.

I had been following Rune Meert online for a while — her extravagant style and incredible tattoo work instantly caught my attention. One day, I simply shot my shot and asked her straight up: “Would you be down to open a studio together?”And the rest? History. From total strangers to best friends — a match made in heaven.

Together, we started searching for like-minded, independent resident artists — each with their own unique craft, personality, and vibe, but all perfectly in tune with the energy and branding we stand for.

We know walking into a new salon can feel intimidating — but not here. We’re all about breaking down that social anxiety and creating a vibe that feels more like chilling at a friend’s place than a beauty appointment. Come as you are, leave feeling like the best version of yourself (and probably with some hot gossip too).

So yeah, we do nails, tattoos, and toothgems — but more than that, we’re building a little community, one cute design at a time.
