Liquid or powder?
Both do the same job. The liquid comes in a 15 ml dropper bottle: put a drop on a single-use swab and hold it on the nick. The powder comes in a small vial: tap a little onto a swab and press it on. Whichever you use, never touch the bottle tip or a used swab to the product, so one container stays clean for the next client.
Questions salons ask
What does the label say it does? The liquid is labelled "Liquid Styptic Skin Protector" and states that it stops bleeding of minor cuts and scrapes.
How many should a salon keep? One per station is the practical answer; the box of 12 bottles and the pack of 24 vials are sized for that.
Is it a nail prep? No. It is not part of nail preparation and is not used before base coat; it is only for minor nicks in the skin.
