Lou Essentials · By NailLou Salon
All ReviewsThe nail products our salon actually keeps on the station.
Independent reviews of the tools, sanitation supplies, and station equipment we keep in rotation — tested on paying clients for at least four weeks before any product earns a spot.
How We Test
Methodology, plainly stated.
01
We buy our own products.
Nothing on Lou Essentials is sent free for review. We pay retail like our clients do.
02
We test on real clients.
Every product gets used at the station on paying customers, not on a swatch board.
03
Minimum four weeks.
A product has to earn its spot across a full appointment cycle before it makes a list.
04
Lists update when something changes.
If a formula changes or a better option lands, the list moves. Updated dates are real.
