Apparently the French felt this was an audience worth catering to, as Only Girls is intended specifically for female car owners. An on site beauty corner also allows costumers to [get their nails done](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10beauty) while they wait for their cars to be serviced. The manicure and massage-offering shop opened last month. In addition to its spa-like services, Only Girls has a mauve-wallpapered [children's playroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sit-still-kids), velvet sofas and candles galore. While it seems unsafe to have an open flame near cars and gasoline, it probably adds considerably to the ambiance of the gender-focused automobile service center. They currently have two hard wood-floored locations: one in Paris and one in Montpellier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gender-focused Garages:** The rise of gender-focused garages that cater specifically to the needs and preferences of female car owners. - **Combining Services:** The integration of beauty and spa services within automotive service centers, offering customers the chance to pamper themselves while their cars are being fixed. - **Child-friendly Automotive Spaces:** The emergence of playrooms and family-friendly spaces in garages to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for female car owners with children. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Services:** Opportunities for automotive service providers to create gender-focused garages that cater to the unique needs of female car owners. - **Beauty and Spa:** Disruptive innovation potential for beauty and spa industry to collaborate with automotive service centers and offer on-site treatments. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** The incorporation of playrooms and family-friendly spaces in garages presents opportunities for the hospitality and entertainment industry to provide services to female car owners with children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Car Education Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-education-clinics-she-auto-knows-winter-car-clinic-returns-to-empower-w.md) - [Women-Centric Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buick-envision-1.md) - [Wine-Enhanced Nail Salon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-nail-bar.md) - [Changemaker Automotive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-explorer-mens-only-edition.md) - [Book-Shaped Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hot-girl-toolkit.md) - [Empowered Dating Nail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nailing-dating.md) - [Tech-Centric Automotive Retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-kelowna.md) - [Woman-Focused Travel Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-guide-to-the-world.md) - [Gender-Neutral Hair Removal Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genderneutral-hair-removal-services.md)
