:10 Minute Manicure: Nails Franchise at Airports.

A Perfect Manicure in Just :10 Minutes

Sound impossible? The :10 Minute Manicure breaks the manicure “sound barrier” with professionally rendered, high quality manicures, performed to meet the demanding schedules of their busy clientele. Created to serve professional women and men, particularly those who travel and have little time to obtain personal grooming services, :10 Minute Manicure brought a much needed service to customers in the airport setting. Now, women and men can treat themselves to a :10 Minute Manicure service that’s in step with their fast-paced lives and preference for top quality where it is most convenient for them: where they work, shop or travel.

This innovative concept debuted at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, in 2006, to a rave reception and has been steadily gaining speed. The company has been featured on numerous television shows and written about in many publications, including USA Today, Redbook, Good Morning America, The TODAY Show and Entrepreneur. Now, with 14 locations in the United States and Canada, :10 Minute Manicure is ready to further spread its wings, via franchising. Predominantly targeting business professionals, it meets today’s trends head-on!

Brilliant Business System

The :10 Minute Manicure business system has been finely tuned to deliver on our brand promise of convenience, speed, quality, and service.

:10 Minute Manicure takes the mystery out of manicure. As the nail care industry morphed from a once a month luxury to a personal grooming must, much like the haircut, nail salons have popped up everywhere—but do you trust them?

When brainstorming this idea, :10 Minute Manicure founders listed all the elements they wanted to see in a nail care concept—and the result is: sterilized tools, consistent service levels, cool atmosphere, great products, and services that fit their busy schedules.

Based on the amount of time a customer has to spend, :10 Minute Manicure offers a service menu ranging from an express ten minute manicure to a forty-five minute aromatherapy-induced pedicure. We offer our customers stop-gap services in between the longer spa treatments to keep their nails looking great, and we also offer longer, traditional services for a relaxing treat—whether in the airport, around the corner from your office, or while out shopping. And we do this without sacrificing quality or cleanliness.
