Methodology, plainly stated.
The rules behind every review and list. We don't claim testing we haven't done.
We compare the listing with the job.
Each review starts from the product's listing. We check its stated specifications against what a nail station needs and explain where the product fits in the service.
We say what the listing doesn't.
When a listing leaves out a size, a rating or an instruction, the review says so instead of guessing.
Hands-on notes are labeled.
We add hands-on notes only when we have used the product, and we label them. A review without them says so.
Sources for health and safety.
Sanitation, ventilation and foot-health answers point to OSHA, the EPA label or your state board. Medical problems go to a podiatrist or doctor. Updated dates change only when the content does.
