Ch. 11 - Developing and Managing Products

 


KISS nails were first being developed in a small studio in Flushing Queens, NY with something that stood out from other artificial nails at the time in 1989.The original artificial nails was made by accident by a doctor who broke his nail and used dental acrylics to cover up a broken nail. And with that in salons they started to use this product in salons. John Chang the inventor of KISS nails was a chemist seeing the popularity of artificial nails thought of the wait time people have to spend in salons was too long.Therfore, he experimented with different materials to make artificial nails before obtaining ABS plastic that comes from China and is a Heat resistant plastic. ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene.
