Nails were never the errand.
They were always the reset.
Founders Story
I've been obsessed with nails since I was eleven — going door to door around the neighbourhood, offering to paint anyone who'd sit still long enough. That never really left me, even when life took me somewhere else for a while.
Late 2024 became a turning point. After years in the corporate world, I knew my heart had never actually left beauty — or the clients I'd worked with over the years in some of Dublin's best-known salons. So I came back to it, properly this time, and built the place I'd always wanted to walk into myself: somewhere a treatment doesn't feel like another item on the to-do list, but a genuine pause. A reset for a nervous system that rarely gets one.
I trained specifically in lash extensions, and it's still the service closest to my heart — though these days you'll usually find me at reception rather than behind the treatment table, making sure every client's visit runs exactly as unhurried as it should.
Our Team
Zencora began with just myself and two nail technicians. We've since grown into a team of ten dedicated professionals — each bringing their own specialism, all sharing the same unhurried approach and genuine care for every client who sits down with us
The space
Step inside and the pace changes immediately. Earthy greens and warm taupe tones set a calm, grounded backdrop. Our waiting area is generous — you'll often find clients settled in with a book, or simply enjoying the quiet, before their treatment even begins
Our philosophy
Not every nail suits every product, and not every client wants the same experience. So we start by listening — assessing what actually suits you, rather than what's fastest or easiest for us. Calm jazz plays through the salon. Treatments are never rushed. It's an approach built on empathy first, nail health always
