MiniLuxe Secures $1.75M to Fuel Its Ethical Beauty Expansion

BOSTON, MA – April 01, 2026 – MiniLuxe Holding Corp., the company aiming to redefine the nail salon experience with a focus on clean practices and employee empowerment, has announced a significant financial boost. The Boston-based firm secured a follow-on investment of up to US$1.75 million from its long-term partner, Flow Capital Corporation, a provider of alternative debt solutions.

This latest round of funding expands the total term loan facility available to MiniLuxe to US$7.925 million. The deal includes an immediate infusion of US$1.35 million, with an additional US$400,000 available once the company meets certain undisclosed financing milestones. The capital arrives on the heels of a remarkable performance metric for the company: 11 consecutive quarters of unit economic improvement, a clear signal that its unique business model is not only resonating with consumers but is also financially sustainable.

A Vote of Confidence in a Purpose-Driven Model

The investment from Flow Capital is more than just a financial transaction; it's a powerful endorsement of MiniLuxe's mission-driven strategy. Flow Capital has been a partner since MiniLuxe's listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2021, providing previous rounds of funding in April 2024 and March 2025. This repeated, increasing investment signifies deep confidence in the brand's potential to disrupt the highly fragmented and often under-regulated nail care industry.

By providing a non-amortizing loan and extending the maturity date of all existing loans to 2028, Flow Capital is giving MiniLuxe the flexibility and runway needed to execute its ambitious growth plans. This strategic financing is indicative of a growing trend where investors are looking beyond simple balance sheets to back companies with strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. MiniLuxe's commitment to socially responsible labor practices, healthier services, and better-for-you products aligns perfectly with a market increasingly driven by conscious consumerism. The investment validates the idea that financial success and social impact can be mutually reinforcing.

Beyond the Manicure: A Tech-Fueled Growth Engine

MiniLuxe self-identifies not merely as a chain of salons, but as a “lifestyle brand and talent empowerment platform.” This new capital is set to be a high-octane fuel for this vision, funding both growth initiatives and general operations. The company's strategy is a multi-pronged attack on the status quo, leveraging technology and a progressive employment model to build a scalable and ethical business.

The firm's growth plans include:

• Strategic Acquisitions: MiniLuxe is actively acquiring and converting existing salons to its brand standards, as seen with its recent expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
• Franchise Expansion: The company is accelerating its national footprint through franchising, recently signing multi-unit deals in markets like Tampa, Florida, and Fairfield County, Connecticut. This allows for rapid scaling while empowering local entrepreneurs.
• Technology Platform: Central to its operations is a proprietary digital platform. This technology manages everything from client bookings and payment processing to providing its employees—or “Designers”—with tools for professional development, clientele management, and scheduling. This integrated system is key to delivering a consistent, high-quality experience and empowering its workforce.

By focusing on being the employer of choice, MiniLuxe aims to tackle the industry's high turnover rates. It offers professional development, certification, economic mobility, and even pathways to ownership through equity and future franchise opportunities. This investment will enable further refinement of this platform, solidifying its competitive advantage.

Financial Details and Future Stakes

The agreement, which has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, includes specific financial instruments that shed light on the partnership's structure. As part of the deal, MiniLuxe will issue warrants to Flow Capital allowing for the purchase of 687,234 Subordinate Voting Shares. These warrants are split into two tranches: 296,610 are exercisable at US$0.59 per share, and 390,624 are exercisable at US$0.96 per share. The warrants expire on April 30, 2028, aligning with the loan's maturity date.

This arrangement gives Flow Capital a potential equity stake in MiniLuxe's future success, aligning the interests of both the lender and the company. While the issuance of warrants will cause some potential dilution for existing shareholders if exercised, it is a common feature in growth-stage financing that provides capital while giving investors upside potential. The warrants are subject to a standard four-month hold period.

With this fresh capital and a proven, resilient business model, MiniLuxe is well-positioned to continue its mission. The company, which has already performed over four million services, is poised to accelerate its transformation of the self-care landscape, proving that a business can do well by doing good.
