Featured Salon
NailBay gives the brand a real-world center of gravity.
The storefront now sits on its own as a bright trust moment, instead of getting buried under dark overlays or dashboard chrome.

Industry Problem
Hiring in the nail industry is broken.
Hiring still runs on fragmented proof, informal referrals, and inconsistent standards. ONYX brings a structured system to a market that has never had one.
01
Salons hire without real skill verification
02
Technicians rely on scattered Instagram portfolios
03
There is no structured hiring system
04
Reputation and skills are not standardized
Real-World Proof
Real salon photography makes the product story easier to trust.
These images support the platform instead of replacing it. They keep the site grounded in the kind of businesses ONYX is actually built to serve.
Owner-led operations
The product is shaped around real salons where hiring happens in between clients, not in a quiet back office.
Walk-in and appointment pressure
ONYX is designed for businesses balancing booked calendars, open chairs, and immediate staffing gaps.
Physical shop context
We use real salon environments throughout the site because the workflow is meant for real service floors.
Built around real salon environments.
Shop layout, front-of-house pressure, and service flow all matter when hiring moves quickly.
The business stays live while owners hire.
The experience is meant to work while the day is still moving.
Operational trust beats polished filler.
