GlossLab, a membership-based nail studio, has announced the opening of a new studio iat Federal Realty's CocoWalk in Coconut Grove, Florida.
The new Miami store marks GlossLab's 9th location. Others are in Manhattan's Tribeca, West Village, Flatiron, Noho, and Upper East Side neighborhoods; Westport, CT; and Bethesda, Maryland.
Hospitality entrepreneur David Grutman, along with his partner in GROOT Hospitality, Live Nation, have joined the GlossLab investor team, the company says. Keke Palmer and band, The Chainsmokers, are also partners.
Founder Rachel Apfel Glass created GlossLab when she saw a gap in the market during her years working at a hedge fund, when she found it nearly impossible to fit in an efficient manicure during the busy work week. Glass recruited a team of investors and opened the first location in New York City's Flatiron district.
GlossLab quickly grew, signing up thousands of members. The company says it modernized the mani, and provides hygiene-first waterless services.
The studio also features technology-enhanced services such as online booking, cashless payments, and contactless check-in. Customers can choose from a curated group of products, such as long-lasting gel and non-toxic polishes.
GlossLab Nail Kits
In addition to in-person manicure and pedicure offerings, GlossLab launched three proprietary nail kits: Nail Tool Kit, Gel Eraser Kit and Manicure Rescue kit.In early 2022, GlossLab will launch a slew of self-care must-haves, including a full line of proprietary polishes, at-home mani and pedi kits, hand creams and foot creams.
