TGB Academy, the educational division of The GelBottle Inc., has announced a partnership with Solo, a booking and business management system for beauty professionals. This collaboration aims to help ambitious nail technicians streamline their operations, safeguard earnings, and enhance client experiences.
Giorgia Cappella, Head of Education at TGB Academy, noted that their community frequently requests reliable booking system recommendations that foster business growth. The partnership provides TGB Academy members access to tools for building sustainable and profitable businesses, incorporating proper pricing and professional structures.
Solo offers a comprehensive platform for managing appointments, processing payments, handling client communications, and providing business analytics. Cappella highlighted Solo's alignment with TGB Academy's mission, citing its transparent pricing, affordability, and growth-oriented design as key factors. She also pointed out that Solo eliminates hidden fees and unnecessary complexity, reducing barriers for small business owners.
To mark the partnership, TGB Academy members will receive a 90-day free trial of Solo. The platform will include a TGB Setup mode specifically designed for The GelBottle Inc. professionals. This mode will feature pre-loaded treatment menus and suggested pricing for services like Gel Polish, BIAB™, and Hard Gel.
Both companies will jointly host a series of masterclasses commencing 19 January 2026. Topics will cover business growth tools, website creation and SEO, booking system setup, policy implementation for profit protection, portfolio building, pricing strategies, and elevating the client journey. The masterclass series demonstrates a clear intent to upskill professionals beyond just technical application.
Rider Latham, CEO & founder of Solo, stated that his company seeks to empower nail technicians globally to build their dream businesses. He views TGB Academy as a partner sharing this ambition, providing professionals with the resources for building exceptional businesses on their own terms.
