For manicures, nail drills are among the most important tools. But did you know that using them improperly can damage your nails? Using the nail drill correctly is very important for both the health of your nails and the satisfaction of your clients. Now, let’s find out how to use nail drills effectively!

The Importance of Using Proper Nail Drill Techniques

When using a nail drill you are smoothing your nails in order to make them look pretty. “I can do thicker lines with this, but if I push too hard or go too fast, I can take off too much of my nail.” This is known as over-filing, and it can weaken your nails and lead to breakage or infection. This is why the techniques used with a nail drill are really important.

How to avoid over-filing and maintain nail health:

Starting at the lowest speed on your drill will prevent over-filing. This will help you manage it better and prevent you from over-filing. Just gently file the top of your nail, but not too much pressure. Do not stay in one place for too long and always move back and forth while drilling. Following these tips will help you maintain strong healthy NAIL DUST COLLECTOR.

What Drill Bit to Use For Different Nail Services:

Nail services require different drill bits. For instance, if you are giving a gel manicure, you will need to use a fine drill bit that is safe for the nails. If shaping acrylic nails, use a thicker drill bit to remove excess acrylic. Choosing the right drill bit for each service is crucial to not damaging the nail extractor fan and in turn, your clients.

How To Clean and Sanitize Nail Drill Tools:

Nail drills, like any tool, need to regularly be cleaned and cared for to properly operate. Brush the drill bit after each use to remove any dust. You also want to disinfect the drill bit with rubbing alcohol. And remember to oil it up to keep the drill bit smooth. With proper care and handling, your nail drill tools will have a longer lifespan, which in turn helps you provide safe services to your clientele.

How to Keep Clients Comfortable and Safe During Nail Drills

When it comes to using a nail drill on a client, comfort and safety is key. If your client expresses discomfort or pain during treatment, adjust your approach. Wear gloves to protect yourself and your client from infections. It's important always to advise your clients on how they will care for their nails for the service to not be damaged.
