Project Description

 

We're glad you’re here!

 

As a customer, have you ever spent hours trying to find the perfect nail salon, or trying to figure what color you used on your last visit?

 

As a nail salon owner, or technician, do you struggle to connect to other professionals and have a hard time attracting new customers?

 

Then you're in the right place, let's get to know each other better!

 

 

DID YOU KNOW? 

  • 61% of customers use phone calls to book appointments, and walk-in's only capture 16% of customers

  • Over 35% prefer utilizing an online booking tool, but even then, finding a perfect nail salon is hard to locate successfully...

  • Why? Because almost 40% of US based nail salons still utilize a paper calendar or paper booking system and have little online visibility

  • Close to 84% of nail salon employees have a native language other than US American English, yet many salon management systems do not cater to diverse salons, hindering inclusivity in the industry...

 

THE PROBLEM

The nail salon industry grapples with outdated technology that fail to provide automation and efficiency

 

The challenge lies in the stagnant state of salon management systems, which have remained virtually unchanged since their introduction in the late '80s. While the beauty industry is far from one-size-fits-all, the same outdated solutions are continually recycled. The nail salon industry often times is not even included as a target market in these systems, which leaves the market further behind in technological advancements.  This continually leaves the industry fragmented and makes it difficult for consumers and businesses to find the right match. It lacks tailored tools that understand the specific needs of nail salon owners and customers. Existing systems over-generalize products and services, offer limited performance insights, lack industry-specific community-based knowledge exchange, and miss out on creating engaging experiences for salon customers. We're here to break this cycle by pioneering a revolutionary solution!

 

 

THE SOLUTION

Adamas Salons is the answer to a long-standing issue within the nail salon industry. We are creating an intuitive B2B(2C) web application that addresses tailored solutions for the nail salon industry.

 

Currently, there is a noticeable absence of technology-driven advancements, leaving customers and businesses struggling to find the perfect match. What we aim to do is create a platform which is on par with today’s technological standards. Our innovative platform brings a fresh approach by offering customers the tools that no one else on the market offers. This means transparent pricing, filtration based on preferences, and no more wasting time. Our greater goal is to create a larger sense of community within the nail industry between businesses and customers, creating a space for them to interact without any barriers. It's important to note that our features are just the tip of the iceberg; there is a vast unexplored territory of possibilities within the market, and we are excited to tap into in the future and become the leading catalyst to disrupt the industry. We're setting a new standard in a space that's long awaited improvement.

From the Founder, Tracy Chao:

 

As a first-generation American-born individual, I bring a unique perspective and deep understanding of an often under-represented market to the forefront.  My parents came to America to live the American dream like the 70%+ ethnic salon owners in the US that wanted to raise their families and struggled through navigating daily life.  My personal connection to the nail salon industry runs deep as a long-time hobbyist and both my sister and sister-in-law being licensed nail technicians. This proximity provides me with invaluable domain expertise by proxy, allowing me to intimately comprehend the needs, challenges, and aspirations of the professionals and businesses in this field.        

Furthermore, my prior experience as a business owner has given me a first hand appreciation of the struggles and complexities entrepreneurs face. Armed with my extended formal education coupled with a career spanning finance and accounting, I possess robust financial acumen and I recognize the critical role sound financial management plays in the success of any business.        

These unique qualifications, combined with my unwavering passion to innovate and my dedication to filling the technological void in the nail salon sector, make me exceptionally qualified to spearhead the Adamas Salons initiative. I am committed to bringing meaningful change, fostering community collaboration, and elevating the standards in an industry that is long overdue for transformation.

 

 

 

THE ASK

With a crowdfunding goal of $60,000, we aim to refine our web application to cater to both these needs. We're calling on nail salon owners, technicians, and customers to join us as beta testers. Your insights will be invaluable in shaping a platform that meets the real-world needs of the industry. Join us in this exciting venture to revolutionize the nail salon experience. Whether you're a customer seeking the perfect salon or an owner aiming for greater visibility, your support and feedback are crucial. 

 

As the nail salon industry stands at the cusp of a technological renaissance, Adamas Salons emerges as the beacon of innovation in a overlooked and under-represented market. We are developing an advanced software that offers businesses an unparalleled edge in operations and customer experience. We want to draw investors, influencers, and industry professionals to our vision, recognizing the potential to reshape the landscape of nail salon services. Investment in Adamas Salons isn't just capital; it's a vote of confidence in innovation, growth, and the limitless potential of specialized technology solutions that haven’t been dreamt into reality until now.

 

The time is to act now or risk the nail salon industry falling irreversibly behind in the relentless march of technological progress.
