A new franchise is coming to Niverville. Canadian-owned and Vancouver-based Almond Nail Bar, a professional nail service, will open its first location in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg. The city is currently home to 12 locations and the company is growing.
The owners say that Niverville is a great choice for the upcoming franchise outlet. They typically look for engaged communities that value high-quality experiences.
“Almond Nail Bar has received numerous requests for a location in Niverville and has had a few people ask to open a location there,” says Andrea Mundie of Almond Nail Bar. “It is close to Winnipeg, so we have had customers make the drive, but most customers like to have their nails as a part of their self-care and hygiene routine, and their visits are every two to four weeks. So being in the market where they live is important.”
Almond Nail Bar serves a wide range of customers, typically women between the ages of 25 and 75. They also offer children’s services, “so moms are not trying to manage one more thing, like childcare, to get their nails done.”
Mundie says that the social aspect of weekly manicures is very popular, especially for those who have retired, and the company’s nail specialists eventually see a regular crowd of people who come in almost every week.
“They feel like family, and we become very close to our customers,” says Mundie.
Almond Nail Bar strives to stay on top of any new and unique nail trends or leaps forward in skincare or nailcare technology or products. They are always seeking new ways to improve the nailcare industry. Some initiatives they’re actively working on include eliminating products with toxic fumes, reducing nail-filing dust, and remaining diligent about their high standards in sanitation.
The team at Almond Nail Bar has also created an alternative to acrylic nails that gives customers more hygienic, fume-free experience, which Mundie says is an industry-first.
“Almond has created an entirely new artificial nail system that is an alternative to acrylic nails,” says Mundie. “This system and all of the nail services, such as ‘gel polish’ and ‘magic polish,’ are fume-free. This protects the customers and the nail technicians. The proprietary system includes a protective layer under it that prevents nail damage, and they soak off which prevents further damage, and excessive removal dust. Likewise, the sanitation standards in the process and in the store design are extremely high. This innovation has the potential to change the industry.”
Mundie is pleased to be able to bring Niverville the highest quality experience in nail salons. In fact, she wants people to think of Almond Nail Bar as the exact picture in their mind when they think of nail bars.
And what makes her inspired to stay at the top of the field in nail aesthetics? Ensuring that clients are comfortable and confident to extend to the company their genuine trust and satisfaction.
Mundie says that although renovations have begun at the retail site in Niverville, dates for completion and grand opening are still to be determined.
