The Nghia Export Metal Hoof P-01 is a professional manicure and pedicure tool designed for extremely precise preparation and cleaning of the nail plate. This metal hoof is ideal for nail technicians, pedicurists, and salons who want a clean, hygienic, and efficient work environment—with maximum control when removing cuticles and product residue.
The tool is used to neatly treat the epidermis/cuticle area: you can gently push back the skin and then precisely remove cuticles, flakes, and membranes . The Nghia Export P-01 is also ideal for the controlled removal of gel and acrylic residue from the nail plate and nail itself. This creates a clean base for any treatment, from a classic manicure to BIAB, gel polish, or acrylic.
The Nghia Export P-01 is made of polished stainless steel – a type of steel also used in the production of surgical instruments. This means high wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and a finish that feels comfortable during professional use. The gently recessed, non-slip handle prevents slippage and ensures a stable grip, even during precision work or when wearing gloves.
What makes this metal hoof trimmer particularly practical are its two different precision tips . You have a pointed tip for precise details and access to narrow areas, and a rectangular, sharp tip for controlled cleaning and removing stubborn residue. This allows you to work quickly and precisely, without unnecessary pressure on the natural nail.
Hygiene is essential in any professional environment. Therefore, this tool is designed to be safely disinfected and sterilized by any method : chemical, thermal, or chemical-thermal. This makes the Nghia Export Metal Hoof P-01 a reliable choice for salons that operate according to strict hygiene protocols.
