Hand & Nail Harmony was established in 2009 by Danny Haile, CEO and Founder. Prior to this development, Haile made a name for himself on the nail competition circuit while working at his first successful start-up company; winning over 60 awards in the U.S. and worldwide. Haile was more famously known for his precision in working with acrylic products and was declared two-time International Champion, specializing in Competition Pink and White Acrylic nails. His passion led to his role as Product Developer where he found himself consulting with top companies in the industry. It was at that point when Haile was ready for his next challenge. Haile’s experiences allowed him to see a need to fill a gap in the market. That gap was the separation of gel and bottle. Fueled by the idea of merging the two, Haile created, what is now popularly known simply as Gelish. Hand & Nail Harmony, with the help of its successful brand Gelish, now occupies a 120,000 square foot facility in Brea, California with the support of approximately 300 employees. Haile’s more recent project is the launch of his new lacquer line, Morgan Taylor, named after Haile’s daughter (Morgan) and his business partner David Daniel’s daughter (Taylor). With over 25 years of experience, Haile and Daniel will once again transform the industry, with lacquer that is specially formulated to exceed all other competition. The growth of the company continues to flourish as Hand & Nail Harmony continues to provide surpassing products and meets the demand of the industry. As Danny Haile has said himself “great products accomplish great things.”

Alaffia is a social enterprise on a mission to alleviate poverty and advance gender equality in West Africa through the fair trade of indigenous ingredients found in in every one of its beauty and personal care products. Olowo-n`djo Tchala founded the company in 2004 with Prairie Rose Hyde, a Peace Corp worker, after experiencing many injustices including witnessing the unfair systems that the women around him faced when trading valuable natural resources. Preserving cultural traditions and knowledge, Alaffia handcrafts its award-winning clean and plant-based collections with unrefined shea butter, African black soap, coconut oil, neem extract and baobab and moringa oils from the women-led Alaffia Village Co-op. Alaffia`s Empowerment Projects are its mission in action, funded by the sale of its products. These projects provide immediate and sustainable support for maternal health care, job creation, education, reforestation and regenerative agriculture. This allows West African communities to provide their skills and knowledge to the rest of the world and rise out of poverty. The organization is proudly the second largest employer outside of the Togolese government. Alaffia`s fair trade model ensures that co-op members are provided health insurance, paid time off and a living wage that is four times that of the average income in Togo. Alaffia also makes Good Soap, triple-milled, zero waste and gluten-free soap bars. 100% of proceeds are donated to families and communities around the world. A portion of Good Soap sales is donated to Whole Foods Market`s Whole Planet Foundation to fund microfinance programs, which helps provide support to entrepreneurs globally.
