Campaign Insights: How Polished Nail Bar Went Viral On Social Media & Grew Their Customer Base

Polished Nail Bar is a luxury nail salon in Clarence, NY that offers manicures, pedicures, nail enhancements & non-toxic options. Jaime Duchscherer opened Polished Nail Bar 7 years after she had opened her first salon, Canvas Salon & Gallery Inc, in 2015. “It was a part of my 10-year plan to continue growth within the healthy beauty industry. I built both [businesses] from the ground up.”

Jaime’s dedication to creating a healthy and eco-conscious salon is part of that makes Polished stand out from other salons. Between their focus on clean products and reducing waste to their investments in using the highest grade sanitation products possible, Polished is leading the way when it comes to sustainable salon practices in WNY.

Their other differentiator – Polished’s high-end service, which includes glasses of champagne, massages, warm neck wraps, and more. Tie in their exceptional customer service and it’s easy to see how a business like Polished would have so many loyal fans and followers

But Jaime knew that in order to attract new customers and fans it was crucial to spread the word when her new businesses opened. Which is why when Polished Nail Bar wanted to put their business in front of a new audience, they turned to Step Out Buffalo to help them achieve their goals. They purchased a Shop Local Package from our advertising options, which helped them spread the word about their business, reach 200,000+ people on social media, and exponentially grow their social media following, all of which ultimately led to new clients.
