What Spruce & Bond does

Spruce & Bond operates a multi-location specialty beauty studio brand in the New York City metro area, with five studios spread across Manhattan neighborhoods (Flatiron, NOHO, Upper West Side, Upper East Side) and a Scarsdale location. The company is structured as a parent brand with two operating subsidiaries: PUCKER for eyelash extensions and peelLAB for chemical peel services and a co-developed retail skincare line of four products priced $35 to $115.

The core service offering spans European waxing (used as a proprietary technique differentiator), laser hair removal, brow shaping, chemical peel facials, and lash extensions. Practitioners at the studios have cumulatively performed more than 1,000,000 treatments, including over 500,000 laser hair removal sessions, evidencing an unusually deep operational track record for a regional service brand. Service pricing ranges from $25 to $185 per session, with multi-session package structures supporting repeat visitation.

Revenue is generated primarily through pay-per-session studio services and multi-session packages sold directly to individual consumers in physical retail locations. The peelLAB subsidiary adds a retail product revenue stream, and brand distribution is supplemented by partnerships with a NYC dermatologist (clinical formulation) and SUGARLash (lash supplies). The company is private, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a 51-100 person headcount.
