About Our Guest Rachel Glass:
Founder Rachel Apfel Glass 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. In 2018, after the birth of her second daughter, Rachel and a team of experts got together to open the first GLOSSLAB location in the Flatiron district of New York at 27 West 20th Street
The hygiene-first, waterless, and membership based studios also feature technology-enhanced services such as online booking, cashless payment and contactless check-in and check-out. GLOSSLAB patrons can choose from a curated group of performance-based products at the forefront of beauty and nail trends including best-in-class, long-lasting gel and non-toxic polishes.
The future forward studio features technology enhanced services (online booking, cashless payment, contactless check-in and check-out) and performance based products at the forefront of beauty and nail trends including best-in-class long lasting vegan polish, gel, and non-toxic polishes.
Hygiene is GLOSSLAB’s guarantee, with strict measures in place long before COVID-19 guidelines were developed. Every tool is scrubbed and sterilized to hospital-grade requirements; nail files and buffers are for individual use only. All high-touch areas including the nail station, polish wall, and front desk are extensively cleaned with a hospital-grade cleaner. Manicures and pedicures are waterless, which is not only more hygienic, but better for the environment and keeps polish lasting longer.
In addition to their in-person manicure and pedicure offerings, the brand launched three proprietary nail kits including: a GLOSSLAB nail tool kit, a GLOSSLAB gel eraser kit and a GLOSSLAB manicure rescue kit ranging in price from $25-$35. 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 to bring the GLOSSLAB experience into homes everywhere.
GLOSSLAB currently has eight locations in the NYC metro area including Tribeca, The Upper East Side (x2), Flatiron, Noho, Midtown, the West Village, and Westport, CT, and a studio in Bethesda, MD. More GLOSSLAB locations are opening soon including: Miami, FL, Hoboken, NJ, Georgetown, Darien, CT, Houston and Dallas. All appointments are booked online. Membership is $135 for unlimited monthly manicures + pedicures – along with a la carte services.
