"Everything started in Paris, 1996 when my mum opened Manucurist: her first professional nail salon. Immersed in this world, I began to observe long conversations between women and notice some common concerns: little time for selfcare, disappointment with classic polish, damage from gel application & removal...

Her mum has always had beautifully manicured nails painted with stunning red polish. After raising three children, she wanted to keep herself busy and trained as a manicurist. She started off working for different hair salons in Paris until she found her ideal spot: Place du Marché Saint Honoré. And that's where we created Manucurist—dedicated to creating beautiful hands!

After working in the luxury space for companies like Louis Vuitton, Prada and YSL, Gaëlle Lebrat-Personnaz, CEO, mom and co-founder of Manucurist. , took over her mom's family business in 2016, with the goal of integrating her passion for color, experience in luxury fashion and focus on health and sustainability. She wanted to keep the pleasure associated with this self-care moment – whether in a salon or at-home – with the 1st green and clean alternative to gel polish. It was a big challenge but she is happy to say she achieved the products we always dreamed of!

A True Revolution ⚡️"
