New to the beauty and travel scene is the Smart Tray, a portable personal care product that turns a bathroom sink or styling station into expanded counter space. This invention, is useful for traveling stylists who work out of hotel rooms and work-at-home stylists. Even your clients can use The Smart Tray for their at-home needs.
The Smart Tray
This convenient, portable lightweight foldout tray fits over most pedestal and traditional sinks to provide additional surface area and counter space (up to 288 square inches).
The Smart Tray, alleviates and organizes the typical clutter that surrounds sinks. It expands usable space by allowing objects to be placed directly on it—even with the water running. The device also promotes safety by keeping electric appliances like blow dryers, curling and flatirons and shavers—and their cords—out of the sink and away from water hazards.
When not in use, the Smart Tray’s collapsible design and drawstring bag allows it to be easily stored and transported. Also, it’s heat resistant and dishwasher safe, so standard personal care appliances will not burn the tray and it can easily be cleaned.
The Smart Tray
“Multi-purpose and multi-functional, the Smart Tray makes everyone happy,” says product inventor and current NFL Pro/Tennessee Titan Bernard Pollard. “Women love that they can keep more of their hair accessories, makeup and appliances at-hand and men love coming into a more organized, clutter-free bathroom where they can easily conduct their hygiene routine. College students who share sink space love the added surface area, and hospital in-patients can keep more of their critical items at hand and well within reach. Parents love that it helps keep kids safe from the many electric shock hazards in the bathroom. That kind of peace-of-mind is priceless.”
