Company profile
researched Aug 202610Beauty operates robotic manicure stations that deliver a full-service manicure without a manicurist performing the application. The service sequence covers polish removal using custom-cut sponges, brush-based cuticle care that moisturizes and tidies the nail line, color applied in thin controlled layers, and a quick-dry top coat; a filing step using crystal files, described as blade-free, is listed as coming in January 2027. A complete service takes approximately 30 minutes. The machine contains no blades, and each manicure runs off a single-use pod that holds all tools for that appointment; hand and arm rests are sanitized between uses.
The company also markets its own polish line, described as 16-free natural polishes, spanning core and seasonal ranges across whites, pinks, hot pinks, reds, purples, nudes, greys, blacks, blues, greens, oranges and yellows, with a number of shades marked as coming soon. A nail-strengthening clear polish uses bamboo extract (silica), jojoba, vitamin E and celery seed extract, positioned to support nail resilience, hydration, protection and conditioning.
Customers book appointments at host locations, and the company operates a program called 10 Lab offering early access and priority booking. Support is provided by email and by phone or text between 10am and 7pm EST, seven days a week.
Business model

Traction
The company describes itself as in early days, with a professional manicurist on hand at services to ensure quality standards and to collect customer feedback while the experience is refined, operating at six bookable retail locations.

Market position
Presents itself as offering the world's only full-service robotic manicure, placed within established beauty retail environments.
10Beauty positions itself as the only full-service robotic manicure available, differentiating on a blade-free machine design, single-use pods dedicated to each customer, and consistency and precision of application relative to conventional salon manicures.
Technology
The core technology is a robotic manicure machine designed without any blades. Each service is powered by a single-use, customer-specific pod containing all required tools, which the company presents as eliminating cross-contamination from shared equipment. Process steps use custom-cut sponges for polish removal, brush-based cuticle tools, crystal files for shaping (a step not yet in service), thin controlled polish layers and a quick-dry top coat.
