The house

Steel, balance, and a quiet hand.

SUM OF THIS SUM OF THAT LLC supplies professional stylists, nail technicians, and clinics from Natchez, Mississippi. We buy the way a station buys: convex edges that hold, handles that drop the elbow, and instruments you can oil and send to the stone.

The Aria shears are J2 cobalt molybdenum stainless. The Grove brushes are bamboo, boar, and thermal ceramic. Petal and Clinic pieces are surgical-grade stainless for people who already know how to use them.
