About

"Hot Products keeps you ahead of what is shaping the professional nail industry.

Hosted by 30-year industry veteran and world champion Alisha Rimando, this series goes beyond surface-level product hype. It examines new launches, trending tools, and emerging innovations through the lens of real-world salon performance and professional experience.

With decades of competition, education, and product knowledge behind her, Alisha brings context to what is new and what truly matters. Viewers gain insight into how products behave under pressure, how they integrate into workflow, and whether they offer lasting value or temporary excitement.

This show is designed for technicians who want to make informed decisions before investing. It highlights what is trending, but more importantly, why it matters and how to use it effectively. When challenges appear, they become opportunities to refine technique and adapt professionally.

Hot Products is part trend intelligence, part practical evaluation, and part industry conversation. It allows professionals to stay current without chasing every launch blindly.

And because the nail industry thrives on innovation, many featured products include brand partnerships and interactive giveaways — offering viewers a chance to experience what is new firsthand.

Stay informed. Stay discerning. Stay ahead of the curve."
