A key feature of the new facility is a 1000-square-foot model nail salon. It will function as a regular working model salon, but with custom designed decor and furnishings. In this setting, Nailco’s customers can view samples of wallpaper, carpeting, furnishings and appropriate accessories.

From reception area and work stations to pedicure or tanning rooms, Nailco handles it all, so you don’t have to worry about running around to find everything your salon needs.
For displaying every item offered by Nailco, there’s a 1500-square-foot showroom. Offices take up another 2000 square feet, and the balance is devoted to warehousing.
Nailco’s regular weekly and biweekly seminars will be hosted in the model nail salon as well as the new conference rooms.
