The vision of business partners and mother-and-daughter duo Carrie and Lauren Dunne is to redefine the mani-pedi experience with Varnish Lane. Located in Friendship Heights, their stunning new spa is designed to be both luxurious and revolutionary. The interiors, styled by decorator extraordinaire Lauren Liess, feature a large wooden island topped with gleaming white marble, brass fixtures throughout, and an atmosphere that feels both modern and timeless. Each plush pedicure chair will even come with its own iPad, perfect for clients or little ones to enjoy while being pampered.
But what truly sets Varnish Lane apart is its waterless approach. By eliminating water, the spa eliminates the breeding ground for bacteria, making every treatment not only indulgent but also far more sanitary. Sanitation is at the heart of their philosophy, every instrument will be meticulously cleaned, sterilized, and sealed before being used for the first time with each client. This is a new era of nail care, where luxury meets uncompromising health and safety standards.
The Philosophy We Share
So, why am I talking about this incredible new concept? Because Sans and Varnish Lane share the same deeply rooted philosophy: a love for all things natural. During a wonderful meeting with Carrie and Lauren (and yes, I adored them both immediately), we realized just how aligned our visions are. Varnish Lane is committed to offering natural nail polishes and safer alternatives to traditional salon products, and that’s where Sans comes in.
We’ll be collaborating to create a collection of all-natural, preservative-free products designed exclusively for their spa treatments. From rich moisturizers to indulgent scrubs, Sans products will become part of their signature experience, adding even more luxury and wellness to each appointment.
A New Era of Spa Wellness
Varnish Lane is more than a nail spa, it’s a statement. It’s about proving that beauty, wellness, and luxury can coexist without compromise. Together, we’re creating a space where clients can feel safe, pampered, and truly cared for. This partnership is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to share updates as Varnish Lane prepares to open its doors.
So please, keep Varnish Lane on your radar, it’s a name you’ll want to remember. I feel honored to be part of their journey, and I know together we’ll create something truly extraordinary.
