When Skullen was first created back in 2013, we could not imagine what an important & vital part of so many women’s lives it would become.

Ours included.

We’ve grown from a one desk operation in our home studio to cover three sites with a unique team of ten independent Skullen Girls.

Skullen is now about so much more than just nail art. We pierce, tattoo and apply tooth gems. We offer aesthetics, make up, read tarot and retail our own range of gel supplies. We train, nurture and incubate the next generation of nail artists.

But before anything else we’re a safe space for women. We believe we play an essential role in helping women reclaim their right to safety and security & to live their lives as they see fit.

We empower & are empowered by our clients regardless of age or gender.

We are feminists in the most modern sense.

We support young women, working women & young mothers & we have been proud to bring together such an incredibly diverse client base from across the north east.

Our whole identity has & continues to be shaped by the inspirational women we work with day to day.

Skullen is sustained by a team of creative, bold, independent women. We work together to support eachother & this collaborative approach shines through in our work & the vibes in our informal, unassuming studios.

It is our mission to welcome people into this unique, positive environment & to support & empower women of all backgrounds.
