Info Center - About Larry Gaynor

Larry Gaynor has built The Nailco Group (TNG) with a mission of 100% Customer Success, which means differentiating TNG from the competition by offering solutions to our professional salon, spa, and tanning clients that: build their business and improve their bottom line, enhance image, self-esteem and eliminate frustration or hassle in clients' day-to-day activities.

In doing so, TNG wows clients and creates an experience that engages their mind and passion through consistent innovation, professional relationships, huge selection of the highest quality, in-stock products, extraordinary business and consulting programs, advanced professional excellence academies and unmatched shipping/delivery. Not only does TNG offer a full color, 300 page catalog that is the most comprehensive in the industry, but also offers small business publication, The Industry Source magazine. This magazine is the most read in the industry, with a circulation of nearly 60,000.

TNG engages clients on many levels. Through involvement with The Gallup Organization, TNG measures this engagement through a system called CE11, in which the company ranks in the unprecedented ninety-fifth percentile. Likewise, TNG holds employee engagement in high regard. Through Gallup surveys, TNG staff consistently report integrity, confidence, pride and passion in their place of employment. Also, the company has been ranked by local Fox affiliate WJBK among the 101 Best Places to Work in Metro Detroit six years in a row.

The company is also the only one in the professional beauty industry to achieve ISO 9001 certification for quality.

TNG also leads community efforts by creating philanthropic opportunities. The staff participates in several blood drives annually to support the American Red Cross. In addition, Gaynor and his wife Teresa (also a company vice president) encourage a strong connection and commitment to the community, as they both believe it is what sets TNG apart from other companies. As a Five Star Investor with The American Cancer Society, TNG is involved on many levels. Click here to read about TNG's efforts with ACS over the past decade.
