How to choose massage accessories
- Heat stones in a heater. Warm massage stones in a massage stone heater and test each one on your own inner wrist before it touches the client.
- Wipe-clean or soft. A leather pillow wipes clean between clients; a fabric pillow is softer and works best with a cover or towel you change for each client.
- Clean tools between clients. Smooth stones can be washed and disinfected; wood is porous, so follow your local public health rules for wooden combs and gua sha sticks.

Massage accessories FAQ
How do I heat massage stones for a pedicure?
Place them in a stone heater filled with water and let them reach the temperature you set on the heater. Dry each stone, test it on your inner wrist, and keep it moving over the client’s skin rather than resting it in one place. Use oil or lotion so the stone glides.
What is a gua sha stick used for in a salon?
A gua sha stick is a flat, shaped tool glided over the skin with oil or lotion. In a nail salon it adds a massage step to a pedicure or hand treatment: use light, even strokes along the calf or forearm, and do not press on bones or broken skin.
