Why did you decide to bring GLOSSLAB to Miami?

Miami has always been on our radar, and we are so excited about the locations here! With David Grutman joining as one of our investors, we see this as the perfect match to have our first Florida location in CocoWalk.

How does the city speak to GLOSSLAB’s clientele?

Miami is filled with so much art and culture, and we look forward to giving the city’s residents a chance to share that art and expression through their manicures and pedicures.
