The grooming industry is evolving—and fast. Today’s modern man isn’t just stopping by for a trim; he’s looking for a complete experience. That’s why more salons and barbershops are creating dedicated spaces for male-focused nail and grooming services. If you're considering opening a man-centric pedicure and manicure salon, or expanding your current barbershop to include these services, now is the time to act.
Why the Men’s Grooming Market is Booming
Men’s self-care is no longer niche—it’s a multi-billion-dollar industry. From skincare to beard care, today’s clientele values not just hygiene, but refined presentation and wellness. Adding pedicure and manicure services to your barber offerings creates a one-stop grooming destination for modern male clients who want to look good from head to toe.
Create a Space That Feels Like Theirs
Design and comfort are key. A man-friendly nail lounge doesn't have to feel like a traditional salon. Go for sleek, minimalist furniture like the Tiffany Collection, or dark wood, leather chairs, and matte black finishes to create a vibe that feels masculine and upscale.
You’ll find great furniture lines and accessories at BeautySpaExpo.com that are tailored to this aesthetic—from compact pedicure chairs, Pedicure Benches to custom reception desks and display cases
What Equipment You’ll Need
Here’s a quick list of essentials to get your man-pedi station up and running:
-
Compact Pedicure Chair (plumbed or portable)
-
Comfortable Manicure Station with tools
-
Barber Chair with hydraulic lift
-
Facial Steamer or Hot Towel Cabinet
You’ll also want to stock nail care products geared toward men—think neutral buffing kits, moisturizing scrubs, callus removers, and matte top coats.
Combine Grooming with Experience
Men aren’t just looking for services—they’re seeking a vibe. Combine your grooming services with elements like:
-
A chill playlist or sports on the screen
-
Complimentary whiskey, espresso, or craft beer (where licensed)
-
Membership packages or grooming subscriptions
-
Loyalty programs for frequent clients
This turns your space into a destination, not just a stop on the to-do list.
Build the Right Team
Hire nail techs and barbers who understand both technical skill and hospitality. Customer service is key to creating repeat business, especially for men who may be new to nail care. Offering education and comfort during services can turn first-timers into lifelong clients.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re opening a brand-new concept or adding to your existing space, building a men’s grooming lounge that includes nail care is a smart, future-focused investment. It combines style, comfort, and wellness—all in one sleek, profitable package.
