Buy a GLOSSLAB Franchise

GLOSSLAB is a hygiene-first, membership-based nail studio founded in 2018 by Rachel Apfel Glass, who sought to revolutionize the traditional nail salon with three core pillars: hygiene, efficiency, and membership. After becoming a mother, Glass created a water-free, tech-enhanced experience featuring online booking, cashless payments, contactless check-in, and premium vegan, non-toxic polishes—prioritizing client and employee safety with strict sanitation protocols predating COVID-19. The brand expanded to over 20 locations nationwide, launched proprietary at-home products like polishes and kits, and transitioned to franchising in 2023 under Joshua Coba, co-founder of European Wax Center, with recent acquisition by Adam Weitsman to focus on global beauty expansion. Ideal for busy professionals, GLOSSLAB turns manicures into seamless, luxurious rituals in a fragmented market. With initial investments of $314,500–$584,000, it offers a modern, recession-resistant model blending services and retail.
