Since 2016

A small atelier, built on patience.

Kimberly's Nail Haven began with one chair in Kilimani and a stubborn belief that nail care deserves the same care as any other craft.

The founder

Kimberly Wanjiru

Trained in Russian e-file manicure technique and obsessed with clean cuticle work, Kimberly has spent nine years refining a single idea: that a manicure is structural work first and decoration second.

Today she leads a team of five artists, each trained in-house over a six-month apprenticeship before they ever touch a client's hands.

What we stand for

Three rules we don't bend

01

Hygiene above all

Pouch-sealed, autoclaved implements opened in front of you. Single-use files and buffers, no exceptions.

02

Nail health first

We will talk you out of a set that would damage your natural nail. Longevity beats a single good photo.

03

Time, not turnover

One client per artist per slot. If your set needs another twenty minutes, it gets another twenty minutes.
