How to choose a manicure machine

The device for manicure is suitable not only for hands, with a certain skill, you can even do a pedicure. If you are buying equipment for home and yourself, pay attention to models without pedals – otherwise it will not be easy to manage the controls on your own. Other nuances of the choice of ” Healthy Food Near Me” discussed with the expert.

Oleg Malkin, specialist in manicure devices:

“It is better to choose a device for manicure not by one criterion, but by several at once. The first question is: “For what purpose will the device be used?”. If for home purposes for yourself and friends with relatives, then this will be a device with a low budget. If you plan to do a manicure professionally, then the device is of a different price category.

The second nuance of choice is precisely the torque. The parameter shows how difficult the resistance can be overcome by the device during operation. The higher the torque, the better for the technique. Torque is measured in Newtons per centimeter (referred to as N/Cm or N/cm). For manicure and pedicure without foot treatment, a torque of 2,5-2,7 N/Cm is sufficient. If the skin on the feet is very rough, then 4-5 N/Cm is better.

Many mistakenly think that it is necessary to choose a device for manicure by power, but this is not a key parameter. Power in technology is more of an applied parameter that affects the work much less than the smoking moment. Also, do not pay close attention to the rotation of the cutter, since 25-30 thousand revolutions per minute is more than enough for manicure and pedicure.

A few technical features that will make it easier for you to find your Dream Apparatus:

  • body material – plastic looks more advantageous, but metal has a clear advantage: strength. If the appliance suddenly falls off the table (this happens when there are children and pets in the house), the aluminum / steel case will stand the test better than the plastic one.
  • Vibration absorption is an indicator that cannot be seen externally, so you should check with the seller. High-quality models have special rubber plugs that prevent the vibration of the motor from being transmitted to the body.
  • The presence of a reverse is a must for salons, and not bad for an independent manicure. When removing gel polish from a “working” hand, it is simply vital! Otherwise, you can seriously damage the nail plate.
  • Complete set – professional models have 6-11 nozzles, economy sets require the purchase of milling cutters separately.

Popular questions and answers

We spoke with Oleg Malkin – he has his own channel on Youtube, where devices of different price categories are discussed in detail. Healthy Food Near Me found out which equipment is suitable for the home and which for the salon.

Is there a difference between salon and home hardware manicure?

– Depends on the qualifications of the one who does it. Going to the salon does not guarantee a high-quality and safe manicure, because you can always run into a low-skilled master, or get into a salon that does not properly disinfect and sterilize instruments. It is better to choose proven salons for such procedures. An alternative would be to purchase a manicure machine and a lamp for drying gel polish at home. After some time, it will become easy, convenient and safe to process nails, cuticles and pterygium. Plus, it’s also exciting. Now there is a lot of information on how to perform a hardware manicure, paint gel polish and remove it. Some may even find their calling in it.

What advice would you give to girls who buy a manicure machine “for themselves” at home?

– When choosing a device for manicure, pay attention to the torque. The higher it is, the better. The following is the originality of the products, the reliability of the store and the guarantee for the device. Many stores sell Chinese copies of popular models at a low price. Usually such devices work for 1-2 months and break down. Then the store puts the buyer on the black list, and that’s it. When purchasing original products, the warranty may be provided by the manufacturer in official service centers. Do not forget about the speed of rotation of the cutter (at least 25 thousand revolutions per minute) and power – at least 40-45 watts.
