How to use these guides
Start with the size chart if you're placing a first order: it explains how our 24 and 30-tip sets are sized and how to fit customers. The shape guide compares almond, oval and square for choosing a range. The application guide is written to be copied into your own customer instructions. The business guide covers who to sell to, what to stock first and how to price from landed cost — and every guide links to the edits it talks about, so you can go straight from reading to building a list.
