SEARCHMANACARE is a USA-made, five-step system that gives salons, nail technicians, and beauty retailers a clear way to serve and retain the growing base of male grooming clients.
MANACARE
MANACARE, the first-ever men's nail and hand care line built specifically for nail professionals, officially launches today. Built specifically around the needs of male clients and the professionals who serve them, MANACARE brings a more intentional, premium approach to hand and nail care.
More men are embracing professional grooming, yet many salons still rely on products and service experiences designed for a female audience. MANACARE was created to close that gap-helping professionals attract male clientele, elevate the service experience and encourage repeat visits.
"MANACARE started with a straightforward request from nail techs: we need products for male clients that feel purposeful, perform at a professional level and don't smell like flowers," said Nestor Villalobos, co-founder of MANACARE. "We saw a real need and a real growth opportunity for the professionals serving it."
MANACARE is introducing a streamlined professional care system:

The debut collection includes the below items individually or as a complete system.
"Men are already coming into salons. The opportunity is to give them an experience that feels made for them-and give professionals a system that's easy to deliver," Villalobos added. "That's what MANACARE does."
MANACARE combines premium performance with a masculine aesthetic, is proudly made in the USAand draws on more than 15 years of experience serving professional nail salons.
MANACARE launches October 15, 2026, at getmanacare.com and through select distributors. The brand will also exhibit at the San Juan Beauty Show, November 8-9, 2026.
