Most new salon owners spend their first year fixing what they got wrong in the first thirty days. We help you get it right from day one—site, build-out, marketing, technology, and the team behind it.
Senofy Consulting isn’t for everyone. It’s for owners making expensive, irreversible decisions—the kind where outside expertise pays for itself many times over.
You’ve signed (or are signing) a lease. You need the location, layout, marketing, and operations right from day one—not after a year of expensive trial and error.
Your first location works. You don’t want to repeat its mistakes—and you want the next one to ramp faster, with systems that actually carry across locations.
Revenue is fine but margins aren’t. Or marketing is a black box. Or the tech stack is duct-taped. You need an outside operator to find what’s actually broken.
Three capabilities that almost never sit under one roof. We have all three—because we built our own salon-adjacent business first, then learned to build the buildings, then built the marketing systems.
Amour Construction holds two Louisiana state licenses: Residential Construction (#887572) and Commercial Building (#72507). Most contractors hold one. We hold both. Eleven custom homes built since 2020 ($300K–$1M+ each). Six commercial projects including five nail salons and one restaurant. Combined work: $13.7M+ in completed construction value across a decade.
iNail Supply—founded 2009—is a 10,000 sqft owned facility distributing nail products to salons across the United States. We’ve watched what works and what doesn’t from the supply side for sixteen years. When we tell you a layout will hurt revenue, or a hiring approach won’t scale, or a price point won’t hold, we’re drawing on data most consultants will never see.
Senofy is our proprietary technology stack: AI-powered review collection, conversation AI, AI voice agents, automated social posting, and managed Meta + Google ad campaigns. Built by the operators who grew businesses to $8M revenue per year—then held near-peak revenue through the 2025 downturn while improving margins. Your salon launches with the marketing engine already running.
Find another firm anywhere in the United States that combines all three. We’ll wait.
An 8,740 sqft mixed-concept development combining a full-service nail lounge with independent suite-rental studios under one roof—a hybrid model most salon owners are told isn’t feasible. Developed end-to-end, site sourcing through grand opening, under one principal.
For a project of this scale, most owners coordinate four or more separate firms: a developer, an architect, a general contractor, and a marketing agency. UNIQ was developed, designed, and built by Senofy’s principals alone—then launched with our marketing platform pre-installed.
UNIQ opened its doors in April 2026 with a full ceremony—Vietnamese lion dance at the entrance, ribbon cutting, and a Certificate of Recognition from One Acadiana. Thang led the project from site selection through opening day as developer, designer, and general contractor.
UNIQ Nail Lounge & Spa, Lafayette · Grand opening April 2026
A boutique 2,888 sqft appointment-only salon—built for an owner who wanted a different kind of business: smaller footprint, premium clientele, no walk-ins.
Two years after opening, Mimi Mai is among the top nail salons in Lafayette and almost always fully booked. The appointment-only model isn’t an accident—it was designed in from the start: smaller floor plan, higher-margin services, premium materials, and a marketing approach built for repeat clients rather than foot traffic.
Not every salon needs to be UNIQ-scale to succeed. Mimi Mai is what right-sized excellence looks like.
A 2,875 sqft full-service luxury salon—designed and built to be the destination salon in Lake Charles. Art deco styling, marble surfaces, brass detailing, a wine bar lounge, and a private pedicure room dressed like a spa suite.
Most full-service salons fight on price. Ja’noir was built to fight on experience. Two years in, it’s the salon Lake Charles points to when locals talk about what an upscale experience actually looks like.
Where Mimi Mai is precision at small scale, Ja’noir is execution at full scale—proof that luxury doesn’t require limited capacity.

Two principals working together since 2014. Construction, operations, and marketing technology under one roof.
Civil Engineer by training (University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2009). Co-founded iNail Supply with his wife Jacqueline in 2009—growing it from a 950 sqft leased space to the 10,000 sqft owned facility it occupies today, serving salons across the United States.
In 2019, founded Amour Construction. Holds dual Louisiana state contractor licenses. Eleven custom homes built since 2020, ranging from $300K to $1M+. Six commercial projects—including the $4.37M UNIQ Nail Lounge development, where he led Development, Design, and General Contracting under one principal.
Co-founded Senofy in 2025 to combine the salon-industry depth of iNail with the construction expertise of Amour—and to give salon owners a single firm that could do all of it.

B.S. Civil Engineering, ULL 2009
Master’s in Computer & Electrical Engineering (University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2022). Started part-time at iNail Supply at age 16. A year before graduation, took over the company’s ecommerce channel.
Grew iNail Supply’s online sales from $10K+ to 7-figures per year over four years through paid advertising, Vietnam sales operations, and the operational systems that made the growth sustainable. When the market softened in 2025, held revenue near peak while improving profitability.
Co-founded Senofy in 2025 to build the marketing technology stack he wished he’d had earlier—purpose-built for nail and beauty salons. The system Khai built for iNail is the same system Senofy now deploys for clients. When a salon owner asks how we know online marketing works for nail businesses, the answer isn’t theory. It’s a four-year track record of measurable, compounding growth.

Most salon advice comes from people who’ve never run one. Never paid a lease.
We’ve done all three.
Final pricing is scoped to the engagement. New salon launches, multi-location expansions, and full development projects are priced individually. We work with a limited number of clients per cycle to protect quality. The first step is a conversation.
Discuss your projectAvailable as an add-on to any of our engagements—or as a standalone service for clients who already have advisory handled. From the layout you’ll actually build to the drawings that go to the permit office.
Stamped construction plans are issued through our licensed architect partner under separate agreement. Engineered MEP stamps are the client’s responsibility through our referral network.
Ask during your strategy callService
A marketing agency runs your ads. We help you build the entire business. Your marketing won’t work if your layout is wrong, your hiring is broken, or your tech stack is duct-taped together. We fix the whole picture—from the lease you sign to the ads we run for you.
No. We also work with established salons that need a marketing engine rebuilt, a second location launched, or evaluation before acquiring an existing salon. Most of our clients are at one of four inflection points: opening, expanding, fixing a salon that should be more profitable than it is, or buying.
Four tiers of engagement, each priced for a specific stage of the process: Lease Analysis at $1,000 (written strategic analysis of an existing LOI or lease the landlord has prepared), LOI Strategy at $3,000 (strategic term sheet, market analysis, and debrief call), Salon Evaluation at $4,500 (three-section diligence for buying an existing salon), and Full Engagement at $15,000 per project (comprehensive launch advisory). When we serve as builder of record on a buildout, construction management is priced separately as a percentage of project value.
Yes—for clients who need it. Our Design & Drafting service includes design and drafting, salon layout design, floor plan development, MEP coordination drawings, 3D rendering, construction detailing, and permit submission coordination. Pricing is custom-quoted per project based on space size, scope, and complexity.
This service is currently available for nail salon projects in Louisiana and Texas, with our licensed architect and engineering partners handling projects of all sizes. Engineered MEP stamps and Fire Marshal submissions are coordinated through our partner referral network. Ask during your strategy call if you’d like to add design to your engagement.
Yes. Three lower-tier offerings let you engage with us at a lower cost depending on where you are: Lease Analysis if you have a lease in hand and want a sober second opinion, LOI Strategy if you need to make an offer on a new build-out, or Salon Evaluation if you’re buying an existing salon. Each is priced as a standalone engagement—separate scope, separate fee, no credit-forward dependencies. If you decide later that you also want the full launch engagement, that’s a separate decision and a separate engagement.
Payment structure depends on the engagement: Lease Analysis ($1,000) is paid in full on signing. LOI Strategy ($3,000) and Salon Evaluation ($4,500) are split as a 50% deposit on signing plus 50% on delivery of the deliverable (your LOI term sheet and memo, or your diligence report). Full Engagement ($15,000) is paid as four monthly installments of $3,750.
If you need to cancel: before we’ve begun substantive work on the engagement—typically within two business days of receiving your intake materials—we refund the deposit less a $150 administrative fee that covers intake, scheduling, and engagement setup. Once we’ve started substantive work, the deposit becomes non-refundable. Once the deliverable has been sent to you, the balance is due regardless of subsequent events: the landlord’s response to your LOI, the seller’s withdrawal, or your decision to walk away from a property. Our work product is the deliverable. Outcomes beyond that are outside the scope of the engagement.
We share high-level performance markers during the free strategy call so you can assess fit. The specific revenue figures, channel-by-channel economics, and operational playbook that produced the growth are part of what we deliver to engaged clients—not material we publish on a public FAQ. Once you’ve signed an engagement letter and we’ve established a working confidentiality framework, those specifics become part of your engagement.
Plan on four to six hours per week from you and/or your operating partner during the engagement. We do the heavy lifting; you make the decisions only you can make—which lease to sign, who to hire, how to position the brand. The decisions stay yours; the execution is ours.
Once we’ve had a discovery call and confirmed a fit, we’ll connect you with relevant past or current clients you can speak with directly. We’ll only share contacts where the project is comparable to yours.
We work with a limited number of clients per cycle—typically four to five active engagements at a time. We say no when a project isn’t a fit (wrong scope, wrong timeline, wrong industry). We say yes when we can deliver real outcomes. The discovery call helps us figure out which one this is.
