Nail Equipment: Lamps, Drills & Dust Collectors

Equipment is the part of a salon that either quietly works for years or quietly costs you clients. A lamp that has lost output under-cures every set that passes through it, and nobody notices until the complaints start. The range is split by job: UV/LED nail lamps and nail drill machines and bits each have their own page, and everything is gathered below.

Curing lamps

Our lamps run dual-wavelength UV/LED, which cures every soak-off gel we sell along with most other brands. Bead output falls over time - if sets that used to last three weeks are now failing at ten days and your technique has not changed, the lamp is the first thing to check. Choose by power, chamber size and whether you need to work away from a socket in nail lamps.

Drills

A cordless drill suits a mobile technician; a lamp-and-drill combination saves desk space. The bits and the guide to using them safely are in nail drill machines.

Dust extraction

Filing dust is fine enough to stay airborne for a long time in a small room. A collector at the workstation is a working-conditions issue for anyone doing this full time, not an accessory. Our guide to nail dust collectors explains what to look for, and the nail salon equipment list shows how a whole station fits together.
