KKOR is a multifaceted Korean brand by nail artist and educator Ara Ko. With extensive credentials that include serving as an e-file master educator, holding German certifications in footcare and toenail correction, and running a professional nail salon, Ara Ko brings a wealth of knowledge and technical precision to every aspect of the brand. Pronounced “ko-al” in Korean, KKOR is a creative play on Ara Ko’s name. Her personal touch, artistry, and commitment to quality is reflected in every aspect of the brand.
KKOR’s products made to enhance the daily experience of nail technicians prioritizes comfort, function, and safety. From ergonomically designed nippers to high-performance e-file bits, every product is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The brand’s logo, featuring a water droplet, symbolizes clean care, a value KKOR proudly upholds.
At the heart of KKOR is a deep commitment to crafting tools and nail products that elevate the everyday experience of nail professionals. Ara Ko’s understanding of the physical demands of nail artistry led her to design products that prioritize comfort, durability, and precision. The KKOR Ombre Nail Nipper is a perfect example and comes in two blade length options. It was developed with nail technicians’ wrist health in mind, offering a lightweight and sleek design that is easy to maneuver. Its matte grip prevents slipping and its ergonomically balanced handle fits naturally into the hand, reducing strain. The blade offers just the right amount of control and precision even for beginners for a smooth and comfortable experience for both the nail tech and clients. The design doesn’t just look good—it feels good in hand, with an ergonomic length and grip that cater to nail tech needs.
In addition to tools, KKOR has developed a line of professional gel products that reflect thoughtful nail care. The KKOR Base Gel is created to maximize adhesion and durability while minimizing damage to the nail surface. Its formula is soak-off friendly, generates low heat during curing, and features zero shrinkage. Two coats of the base gel are strong enough to substitute for a clear gel overlay, making it a time-saver and an easy solution for thin nails that need a bit of reinforcement. Its short brush bristle length makes this base gel easy to control and apply, resulting in even and smooth application. Extensive testing and development went into creating the KKOR Base Gel, resulting in an optimal base gel that satisfies both nail techs and customers.
The High Top Gel, available in two viscosity types, provides the perfect finish for the KKOR line, offering a non-wipe, durable, and scratch-free finish. The High Top Gel also minimizes bubbles during application for a smooth application and minimizes low heat during curing, resulting in a high-gloss and strong protective finish. Together, the KKOR Base Gel and High Top Gel make the perfect combo for a high quality gel enhancement.
In addition to basic gels, KKOR also offers beautiful and neutral syrup gel colors that are versatile. The Four Seasons I Collection adds a playful elegance to the KKOR lineup with versatile colors that can be used year round. This syrup gel collection blends luxury and cheerfulness, featuring self-leveling properties that allow even beginners to create effortless gradient effects.
KKOR’s dedication to performance also shines through its diamond e-file bits, which are made in Germany and Switzerland for better precision, more consistent removal, and longer lifespan.
If you primarily work with gel enhancements, the Off-Corn Bit is a tapered removal bit that allows for visibility and maneuverability. It has a strong grip and files smoothly, removing gel and overlays efficiently. The narrow and rounded tip allows precise removal near the cuticle area and along the sidewalls, while the wider barrel efficiently removes product from the center of the nail surface.
Among KKOR bestsellers are the KKOR Gentle Bits, beloved for their versatility and smooth performance in removing both cuticles and buffing calluses. It’s become a must-have for many technicians because once used, it becomes a staple in offering clean nail care. Craftsmanship is only as good as your tools.
KKOR offers tools and products that are not only professional-grade but also thoughtfully engineered. Ara Ko’s deep understanding of the challenges nail techs face and what they need is what makes KKOR distinct and reliable. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, KKOR brings comfort, performance, and peace of mind to your workspace.
With KKOR, it’s not just about doing nails—it’s about elevating the entire experience with expert tools and products that are also easy and comfortable to use as staples.
