The Temple Room Nail Spa is Waterford’s newest beauty destination

The Temply Room Nail Spa is making its mark as an elegant, welcoming retreat built on passion

The Temple Room Nail Spa officially opened its doors in Ardkeen Shopping Centre on December 9th of last year, making its mark as an elegant, welcoming retreat built on passion, community values, and a commitment to exceptional care with a personal touch.

The vision of its dedicated owners, Vietnamese–born Tran Phan and her husband, Waterford–born artist Darren Power combined years of experience in beauty and customer service to create a space in the heart of the community where clients can relax, recharge, and leave feeling confident.

From the moment guests first step through the doors, they are greeted with a calm, clean, and relaxing environment with a stunning mix of oriental and modern decor creating an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility, and a passionate team focused on comfort and professionalism.

Every detail of the furnishing has been designed with purpose, from the Asian–style umbrella lanterns hanging from the ceiling and original Buddhist–themed fine art, to the bespoke manicure tables running down each side of the salon.

A 6–columned wall adorned with statues and ornaments surrounds a gorgeous mini courtyard with a banana tree, reminiscent to Tran of her motherland, for clients to enjoy during their service.

Since opening, The Temple Room Nail Spa has attracted attention for its detail–oriented artistry, welcoming environment, and exceptional hygiene standards. Clients can choose from a wide range of beauty and pampering services including advanced manicures like acrylic, gel, shellac, and BIAB along with custom nail designs tailored to your individual style and tastes, and luxurious, relaxing spa pedicure treatments.

The salon provides its services to all genders with a focus placed on long–term nail health and natural nail growth using quality materials and structured applications for long–lasting results and healthy, protected nails.

Each visit is tailored specifically to the individual and their needs and goals through personalised consulatations with expert advice on nail health, letting you know if your nails need a break and what can be done to aid them.

The owners explained that relationships and community are at the core of the business: “Our goal was to create a space where people could escape the stress of everyday life. A nail appointment should feel luxurious, but also personal and friendly.”

Many customers have already become regular visitors to the salon, returning not only for the high quality of the services, but also for the atmosphere of kindness and conversation. “

We are proud to be a part of this neighbourhood. Seeing familiar faces return each month means everything to us. We would love to see the spa become the hangout place for friends and neighbours.”
