TOWNHOUSE FAQS
Who are Townhouse?

Founded in London in 2018, Townhouse is a multi award-winning brand that has set new standards in the nail salon industry, renowned for its dedication to excellence, meticulous hygiene standards, and commitment to team development. Unlike traditional salons, Townhouse invests heavily in its team, ensuring all team members receive best-in-class education and career progression opportunities.

The salons will stay open and continue to trade under the GLOSSLAB name in the interim to provide continuity to team members and customers. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
What does this mean for me?
For now, everything will remain the same — you can continue booking your GLOSSLAB appointments as usual at Flatiron and Tribeca, with no immediate changes to services or pricing.
