Has traveling got you neglecting your beloved beauty rituals? Now you don’t have to sacrifice your nails when you’re in a hurry to board that airplane. XpresSpa, known for its in-airport services ranging from massage to nail care, is rolling out a next-generation way to get your nails painted. Their brand new Clockwork MiNiCURE robotic manicures allow travelers to get their digits beautified in a quick, easy, and seamless way while at the airport.

How exactly does this new manicure robot work? A receptionist will help to show you to your robot and help you get started, and a touchscreen will guide you through your entire appointment. While there’s somewhat of a learning curve in using the robot, according to their website, people typically take anywhere from 10-30 minutes for their first appointment, but regulars will be in and out in 10 minutes or less. Simply pick your color, slide your hand into place, and you’ll have salon-ready nails in mere minutes. Oh, and did we mention that they only cost $10?

The innovative new robot comes to Miami International Airport this week after successfully being launched at New York’s JFK Airport. It will soon be rolling out to additional locations, including Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and more on the way. You can even request a Clockwork location at your nearest airport on their website.

Next time you’re searching for something to fill the time during your layover, or you’re landing for a business meeting with less-than-stellar nails, remember that you can get glammed in 10 minutes or less.
