Choosing the Right Manicure Tools
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

A professional nail care provider is surrounded by a wide variety of manicure tools and equipment. These tools are vital to providing high-quality nail care.

When undergoing a professional manicure, you may have looked at the wide variety of tools on the table, wondering what on earth some of them were for.

We're all familiar with standard manicure tools such as nail clippers, cuticle pusher, nail file or emery board, and maybe a finger brush. These are just some of the items you can expect to find in a basic nail care kit. However, manicure implements may include many other tools useful for basic nail care. A good manicure includes caring for more than just the fingernail - it includes the area around the nails and also, perhaps, the entire hand.

For instance, a cuticle remover is used to remove hard or cracked cuticles that often catch on garments causing discomfort. Cuticle oil is used to soften the cuticle to the point where it literally begins to heal itself. People tend to ignore the condition of their cuticles thinking that they're not that important. Neglected cuticles, however, can become irritated and be uncomfortable if not cared for properly.

Nail scissors may be used in place of the well-known fingernail clippers. Some nail care professionals prefer nail scissors to clippers because they give the professional more hand dexterity and control over the direction in which nails are cut. In fact, the mere act of cutting in one or two directions may be easier rather than clipping multiple times in many directions.

Aside from cuticle removers and nail scissors, manicure tools also include various pieces of equipment such as manicure tables, salon chairs, salon stations, shampoo bowls, and spa and pedicure accessories. If you never do your own nails or the nails of your family members and/or friends, you won't ever need manicure tools such as these. These tools are typically found in established salons or nail care schools.
