01 The Shadyside studio

Ellsworth Avenue, since the beginning

This is where Lotus started, and it is still the busier of the two rooms. A wall of colour that gets restocked rather than topped up, manicure stations along the windows, and a pipe-free pedicure row at the back under the lotus mural.

It is also the studio to pick if you want an early appointment. Shadyside opens an hour before Lawrenceville on weekdays and Saturdays, which makes a 9am slot before work possible.
