Direct-to-consumer soft gel nail brand scaling DTC operations and paid media
Aprés Nail manufactures and sells patented soft gel nail extensions direct-to-consumer, competing on product innovation rather than trend cycles. The tech stack reveals a performance-marketing operation: heavy investment in Shopify, Klaviyo, and multi-channel ad platforms (Google, Meta, Amazon, Pinterest), paired with NetSuite and SAP for supply-chain visibility. Current hiring skews 67% marketing with one engineering role, while active projects center on marketplace advertising, inventory visibility, A/B testing infrastructure, and forecasting models—indicating a company wrestling with multi-million-dollar budget scaling and the operational complexity of DTC growth.
Notable leadership hires: Art Director
Aprés Nail manufactures soft gel nail extension products developed in partnership with nail technicians. Founded in 2015 and based in Rowland Heights, California, the company operates as a direct-to-consumer brand with a 51–200-person team. The business model spans product development, manufacturing (Peru hiring visible), and DTC distribution through e-commerce and marketplace channels. Pain points include inventory stockouts, shipment delays, and order processing accuracy—operational friction typical of rapid DTC scaling—alongside paid media optimization and customer retention challenges common to high-CAC beauty categories.
Aprés Nail uses Shopify (e-commerce), NetSuite and SAP (supply chain/finance), Klaviyo (email/SMS), Google/Meta/Amazon/Pinterest Ads (paid media), Salesforce (CRM), and Adobe Creative Suite (content production).
Active projects include marketplace advertising strategy optimization, multi-warehouse inventory visibility, dashboard and forecasting model development, structured A/B testing, and email/SMS marketing roadmap development.
