Why Invest

BRAND
We’ve been intentional in building our brand equity. Rooted in clean, empowering, and ethical self-care, the heart of our brand is the earned trust with our talent – diverse purveyors of self-care who are the reason behind our customer loyalty, high NPS (Net Promotor Score) and strong organic endorsements. Today, we are a 500-plus team with ambitious plans to add thousands of new designers as a brand employer of choice.
STANDARDS
Nail care services are the most used beauty service but remain highly variable in terms of standards and regulation (e.g., only 4 of 10 Canadian provinces have any licensure requirements). MiniLuxe is committed to elevating these standards through its own certification protocols that empower our field talent with hygiene and safety protocols, specialized nail and waxing techniques, nail health and product knowledge that together lead to career development and economic growth opportunities for our talent team.
PLATFORM
MiniLuxe is a digital-first brand, connecting a two-sided ecosystem. Clients experience an end-to-end digital journey with one-click bookings, saved preferences, contactless check-in and payment, and post-checkout reviews. With nearly a 100% digital bookings rate, our talent base leverages this infrastructure-as-a-service platform for clientele management, flexible scheduling, and bookings / payments. It is this platform that will allow us to bring MiniLuxe product and services anywhere, anytime.
