A fresh new concept in hand and foot care started in December 2015 in Alabang Town Center. From a classic nail salon, Kitchenails soon added scents, flavors and ingredients before they opened a branch in Trinoma.

It offers a wide variety of flavorful scrubs, nail polishes and oils that are organic and hypoallergenic. Its “Menu of services” are a play on words associated with food like “Honey Glaze” for paraffin wax and “Aperitif” for massage. The most recommended service would be a “Chef Specials” complete pampering service. Guests can choose their preferred flavor such as Lemon Square, Candied Oranges, Spiced Plum Pannacotta, Verry Berry Muffin and Key Lime Pie.

After two years of operations, Kitchenails is now open for franchise in the metro and key cities in country. Kitchenails opened its first franchised store at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas Center on 28 July.

“A concept nail salon made impact to me as a client much more as franchisee. I have always looked up to the dedication given by the owners and team members of Kitchenails. I know that with proper guidance and support, I will grow with them as I embark on this journey to business success. Being part of a family is what they’ve made me feel even from the start and that assured me that I have made the right decision,” said franchise owner, Minnie Aldave.

Kitchenails branches are located in Alabang Town Center (UGF Main Mall, 815-6350), Trinoma (3F Near Mindanao Parking, 625-2804) and Robinsons Galleria (Level 3, East Wing).
