Why Quality Nail Tools Matter
High-quality nail tools enhance service quality and client trust. A 2024 Nail Pro study found that premium tools improve client satisfaction by 20% due to precise, comfortable results. Substandard tools, like dull nippers or weak pushers, can cause uneven cuts, skin irritation, or infections, harming reputations. For example, sharp cuticle nippers ensure clean trims, while dull ones risk painful tears. Surgment’s nail tools are crafted for reliability and hygiene.
