WAH Nails WAH Nails is a Dalston based nail salon opened in August 2009 by Sharmadean Reid. “It’s taken off because it’s completely different to anything else out there, from the pictures we have on walls, to the magazines we have on the shelves, to the music we play, to the nails we do. It’s popular because people want something new and individual.” “I have never thought of myself as a brand as such, but I am well aware that my life helps sell the nails which is why I still have a blog.”
