10Beauty acquires Nimble, a developer of automated nail care technology. The deal includes Nimble’s intellectual property, customer base, and key executive leadership. The acquisition expands 10Beauty’s portfolio in robotic nail solutions.
10Beauty introduces its robotic manicure system at an Ulta Beauty store in Clark, New Jersey. The company plans to expand to a second location in the state. The system automates nail care using robotic technology, aiming to enhance precision and efficiency in manicures.
10Beauty secures $23.5 million in funding from Story Ventures to scale its robotic manicure system beyond salons into retail settings. The company, known for its first full-service robotic manicure technology, now has over $70 million in total funding. This investment supports broader market adoption of its automated nail care solutions.
Ulta, Nordstrom, and Walmart deploy AI-powered beauty robots from startups like **10Beauty**, **LUUM**, and **Blank Beauty** to address labor shortages and transform in-store services. These automated systems assist with tasks such as makeup application, product recommendations, and customer interactions. The retailers integrate the technology to enhance efficiency and improve the shopping experience amid rising operational costs.
