Tom Pellereau invented the Stylfile curved nail file shown on the British TV programme Dragon's Den.
Pellereau is a British inventor and product designer. His Stylfile idea addressed the difficulty of filing nails evenly around their natural curve. The product's distinctive shape was intended to make the process easier and more comfortable than using a conventional flat file, giving the invention an immediately understandable demonstration for television viewers.
His pitch became one of the programme's memorable product presentations, and the Stylfile range subsequently developed into a broader nail-care business. The story illustrates why simple physical demonstrations work well in Dragon's Den: the audience can see the problem and the proposed solution within seconds.
Pellereau is often mixed up with Shaun Pulfrey because both created successful personal-care products presented on the show. Pulfrey invented the Tangle Teezer hairbrush; Pellereau is the inventor behind Stylfile.
