Umia is a Canadian beauty technology company that develops AI‑powered automated manicure systems designed to apply gel polish and intricate nail art with minimal human intervention. Its machines use robotics and deep learning to scan nail shape, curvature, and size, and then apply base, colour and top coats in a rapid, consistent process aimed at under 20 minutes per full set. The company was formed in Vancouver after years of research involving tens of thousands of nail data points and multiple prototype iterations. The core product targets professional usage in salons, retail spaces, hospitality venues and other commercial environments rather than direct consumer retail, and supports a platform where nail artists can contribute and be compensated for their designs. Umia’s technology emphasizes speed and precision but does not replace full manual manicure steps like filing or cuticle care, and the company positions its system as a tool to enhance service efficiency and creativity rather than a complete human replacement.
