Removing with Ease 3 4 5 Shooting Star International created a new piece of salon equipment called the Multi-Pro Nail Spa aimed at making the removal of soak-of gels and acrylics fast and safe. The product features a softtouch brush that rotates back and forth, creating a scrubbing action inside the soaking bowl. The brush works in conjunction with acetone to remove unwanted product while the client is soaking her fingers, eliminating the need for a nail tech to do it manually. According to Shooting Star International, nail techs won't have to use metal tools to remove remnants of gel or acrylic either. The Multi-Pro Nail Spa can also provide pre-removal treatments including a fingertip massage during the soaking process in addition to a nail and cuticle cleanse and exfoliation. Parts of the device pull apart for sanitation purposes. It also features a low-voltage, energy-efcient design. For more information, visit www.nailsmag.com/fifi/11411. www.nailsmag.com/fifi/11287
