About Ayurvedic Manicures & Pedicures
More Than Just Nails
After moving back to Bangalore, I couldn’t find a single place doing manicures and pedicures without all those harsh chemicals. I wanted to create something that felt good and did good—so I started Swa, where your hands and feet get real Ayurvedic care.
What Makes It Different
- It’s not just about pretty nails. This is a ritual to slow down, reconnect, and seriously care for your hands and feet.
- Every session uses Ayurvedic spa for hands and feet practices—think ancient wisdom, but in a modern, calming space.
- We help with real issues like dryness, tanning, and tiredness, not just grooming for the sake of it.
- From detox tea to soothing music, I want you to feel a sense of peace the moment you walk in.
Only Good Stuff Goes On You
- I only use plant-based manicure products and cruelty-free ingredients, right from our cleansers to the massage oils.
- Our special 12-free, toxin-free nail polish is made with Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E, so your nails get stronger, not weaker.
- Scrubs, masks, and massages are all done with natural stuff—no weird chemicals.
Pick Your Ritual
- Swa Signature Pedicure for tired, overworked feet (rose water soak, coolant mask, deep massage).
- De-Tan Manicure & Pedicure fights back against the Bangalore sun.
- Express options when you’re short on time, but still want that herbal nail treatment feeling.
- A few more combos for balance or a quick refresh, depending on what your skin needs today.
It’s all about making you feel good, inside and out.

My Story
Namaste, I’m Gayathri. Swã is my dream—where ‘self’ meets Ayurveda. After living abroad, I came back to Bangalore and saw every salon loaded with chemicals. Hamare ajja-ajji (our grandparents), they used haldi, methi, kitchen stuff, and their skin had holatana (shine) you don’t see now. I wanted a women-centric space, all Ayurvedic, no shortcuts. Some days, progress is slow, but seeing women from Italy to Dubai walk in for real care—makes me proud. Swã is my way of giving back. Come, experience this bliss.
My Work
Ayurvedic Facials & Therapies - Kumkumadi facial therapy, Ayurvedic ghee facial, and Abhyanga body massage—all pure, plant-based, cruelty-free.
Natural Hair & Nail Care - Plant-based hair colouring and Ayurvedic nail care—no chemicals, just nature’s goodness.
Holistic, Long-Term Care - We focus on skin shakti (strength), not just glow. ‘Botox through Ayurveda’—lasting health, not quick fixes.
Inclusive & Safe Space - Women-centric, but men welcome evenings. Special packages for seniors, homemakers, and all ages.
The Swã Experience - It’s more than a treatment—calm, therapeutic, people travel far for our SWA Mantra: patience brings true results.
