Frank Udavcak
Chief Operations Officer
"We got the best opportunity - we had a business with only one problem - not enough room." Frank is no stranger to expanding and amplifying the story of a business. "When I was Wiz Khalifa's personal videographer, my job was to amplify and share his personality so the world could see the different channels of Cameron. I would prompt him to say or do things on the fly and we'd work back and forth to create projects." And that's similar to what happened with Maniküre. "There's a brand here already - that people know and love - but how do we scream it from the rooftops and optimize it all on a national level?" Frank brings his vision to have Maniküre known across the country as the high-end natural nail salon brand - and offer an affordable franchise that can power the economics of other aspiring salon owners.

Alyssa Luciano
Owner
"Growing up, my mom had a hair salon in our house. I spent a lot of my time watching and becoming familiar with the energy." After being on Butler Street for 5 years with her other business (Avere Beauty), it only made sense to acquire the brand that was once regarded as a private club. "Maniküre had been around for years before we got to Lawrenceville - I could never get an appointment which was good and bad. When we responded to an ad from a broker about a nail salon for sale and I saw it was Maniküre, I figured it was the only way I was going to get a nail appointment."
