Mavala

Entering the UK market in 1959 with the revolutionary Scientifique (a penetrating nail hardener that not only remains one of the company's top sellers, but has outlasted perhaps 100 copies), the company has continually developed, refined and expanded the product base. The Nail range now incorporates 20 treatment products, to solve common nail problems from slow growth to ragged cuticles. These treatment products are complemented by the Mini Color nail enamels, over 130 fashion and classic shades. In 1986 Mavala extended their fingernail expertise to the hands with the Swiss Hand Care programme. The line consists of four products based on natural substances that work to activate the renewal of skin cells and help the skin retain moisture. Mavala has entered two new areas: complexion care with the Mavalia cosmetic and skin care range and the Swiss Foot Care and Beauty programme, composed of eight inter-active products to maintain comfortable, beautiful, trouble-free feet. Aside from its own distribution companies in Switzerland, France and England, Mavala now reaches more than 130 markets throughout the world. However, whilst meeting the demands of the store customer, Mavala have not forgotten the professional side of the business. They recognise the importance and the special requirements of the professional manicurist – not only in product terms but with good quality, efficient and economical equipment too. Mavala operate manicure schools offering professional training in England and France.
