About SalonTested

Professional tools are used for hours a day, so motor type, weight, heat recovery, duty cycle and serviceability matter more than marketing. SalonTested compares salon, barber, nail, lash and wax equipment on those specs, and on the sanitation and electrical listings a working salon needs.

We cover barber tools, hair styling tools, nail equipment, lash, brow and wax gear, and salon furniture and sanitation. Consumer skincare and makeup belong to BeautyFacet. Follow your state board of cosmetology's rules on sanitation and disinfection.
