KOKOIST was developed by a professional nail artist herself, Koko Kashiwagi. As the owner of multiple nail salons in Japan and Hawaii, Koko understands from her experience the needs and wants of professional nail technicians.
Despite serving many celebrity clients worldwide and making full use of countless new products and technologies to please her customers, the quality of them wasn't enough for Koko.
"Why can't I find an exceptional quality gel at a reasonable price," she thought. Trying a number of different nail products that include hard-gel, soft-gel, and acrylic powder that was common at the time, nothing seemed to satisfy her.
Exhausted from searching for the ultimate product that didn't exist, the journey began for Koko.
In order to create highest quality gel, everything has to be done just right. That's why Japan Chemi-Tech is KOKOIST's own gel production facility dedicated to growing and preserving its top level standards day in and day out. Every KOKOIST gel goes through rigorous testing to ensure these standards are met to provide the best quality nail gel to the nail industry.
Kumano, Japan produces the most revered makeup brushes in the world. The quality of each brush showcases Japan's traditional craftsmanship. These artisans have refined and mastered the craft of producing handmade calligraphy tools for over 150 years in order for you to have the smoothest and easiest gel application possible. See why your tools matter.
