At 25 years old, Grace Chiang is changing how women get manicures. Instead of a traditional salon process, which is extremely time consuming, expensive, and painful, you can have nails shipped to your doorstep.
Grace Chiang’s company, Mani.me, is a subscription service that sends 3d printed nails to members for a reasonable price compared to a traditional manicure. A consumer can purchase 2 sets of nails a month for $50, or 3 for $70. Chiang started this company as a MBA student at Stanford, and had two friends later join her.
The magic of Mani.me is how the nails are curated for each customer. The company uses an app to allow users to upload photos of their nails and create measurements to send a unique set of custom fitting nails to every subscriber. From there the customer can pick a design from the app for the color and drawing on the nails.
The nails differ from traditional acrylic nails, because they simply stick on your finger nail beds, and can be removed without any sort of painful process.
