Lesson
Your everyday essentials
Files shape; buffers refine surfaces. A cuticle pusher helps with controlled preparation; nippers require training and precise tissue identification. Brushes have different roles for dust removal and product application. Keep service tools separate from household tools.
Equipment that works together
Choose a nail lamp recommended for your gel system. An e-file is a powered tool that requires instruction and practice. A dust collector helps capture filing dust at the source, alongside appropriate ventilation and workplace controls.
Practice before service
Practice hands and tips let you rehearse hand positioning and product control. Begin with the essentials for the service you are learning, and add equipment when you understand its purpose.
