✨ Help Launch Philly’s Newest Intentional Nail Experience ✨
Hi, I’m Princess Ariel — a licensed nail technician, certified counselor, and founder of TOP Onyx Alchemy, a natural nail care company rooted in wellness, skill, and self-care.
After years of honing my craft and dreaming big, I’ve finally secured a physical location to bring this vision to life. TOP Onyx Alchemy won’t just be another nail studio — it will be a bridge between beauty and health.
🖤 What Makes Me Different?
I specialize in prescriptive nail care, which takes the whole person into account — their lifestyle, health, and wellness goals.
My goal is to serve not just the beauty-focused, but also those who have been underserved by traditional salons and need deeper care.
When it comes to foot health, there's a gap between what your typical nail tech can offer and what a medical podiatrist provides. I aim to fill that space with safe, informed, advanced nail services for clients with chronic or complex foot concerns.
🌿 Services & Vision
Natural nail services, including dry manicures and Russian technique
Medical Pedicures for conditions like nail trauma, toenail fungus, and athlete’s foot
A clean, affirming, and elevated space — inclusive for both women and men
Mobile services for clients with mobility or privacy needs
A curated line of handmade foot and nail care products
Future educational offerings: small classes, mentorship, and advanced training
Certification as an Advanced Nail Technician + Medical Pedicurist (includes a podiatrist internship)
💸 Why I Need Your Help
Launching a business is beautiful — but expensive. I’m raising $10,000 to cover essential startup costs:
| Category | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| NuFeet Advanced Nail Tech & Medical Pedicurist Cert. | $1,000 |
| Studio Rent (initial months) | $5,000 |
| Licensing, permits & legal setup | $600 |
| Equipment & inventory | $3,000 |
| Cozy furnishings for a luxe client experience | TBD |
| Marketing & branding | TBD |
| Mobile setup & supplies | TBD |
Every dollar raised helps me bring this vision to life — one step, one service, one soul at a time.
💖 Thank You
Thank you for believing in this vision, trusting my hands, and helping me transform how we think about nail care and self-care. Your donation, share, or encouraging word means the world.
✨ Let’s make some magic. ✨
