Not only the final result of nail design, but also the safety of the client himself depends on how much quality equipment the manicure master uses in the process of his work. It is very difficult to imagine a qualified specialist in the nail industry who could manage to do without such devices as an ultraviolet lamp, a milling cutter or a special vacuum cleaner for manicure. The latest type of equipment will be discussed, because without a powerful hood it is simply impossible to create comfortable working conditions.

What is a vacuum cleaner for manicure

The master’s work, as a rule, involves removing the keratinized surface of the cuticle and polishing the nail plate itself. In addition, the accumulated material also needs subsequent processing with special tools. In the process of all these manipulations, fine dust settles on the surface of the desktop, which, when inhaled, enters the respiratory tract and becomes the main culprit in the development of an allergic reaction.

In addition, the workplace of a specialist can tell a lot about its owner. What should you expect from a master who does not monitor the cleanliness of the devices used and the table itself? A manicure hood is designed specifically for the absorption of small particles of debris formed as a result of grinding and building up the nail plate. The electric appliance has in its configuration additional bags, which should be replaced as they become dirty.

Instrument selection criteria

Perhaps one of the main issues that plagues many newcomers to the nail service industry is how to choose the right vacuum cleaner for manicure.

An effective, and most importantly high-quality device should have the following characteristics:

  • high power - the unit must as quickly and efficiently as possible absorb the dust that has formed in order to prevent further spread of debris;
  • silent - it is unlikely that the client and the master himself will like the constant sound of buzzing, which will only contribute to the appearance of a headache;
  • build quality - the device body and the dust collector must be made on the basis of high-quality materials so that the hood does not pass dust particles entering it.

As for the type of suction technology, here devices are divided into three main types: built-in, table and floor vacuum cleaners. We will analyze each in more detail.

Recessed

Stationary equipment, the main part of which is attached under the table. On the working surface itself, only a special grill is installed, designed to absorb debris. Such a hood does not take up much space, boasts high power, but the cost of such models can not be called budget. In addition, the built-in vacuum cleaner can not be transported, so this option is suitable for specialists using one permanent workplace.

Desktop

Unlike a built-in one, such a vacuum cleaner can be transported. This is especially true for those craftsmen who go home to the client. The device has small dimensions and has an affordable price. Compact equipment that resembles a stand is placed on the desktop. It is enough for the client to put his hand in the hole of the device so that the hood removes the dust generated in a timely manner.

On a note! It is recommended to give preference to those desktop vacuum cleaners for manicure, the case of which is made of artificial leather, pleasant to the touch.

Floor

It is a rather massive structure consisting of a fan, a dust bag and an integrated electric motor. The device is fixed on a stable metal stand, and the process of dust removal is due to the remote hose, which sucks air above the working surface of the table.

Overview of the best hood models

Modern manufacturers offer customers a huge assortment of all kinds of vacuum cleaners for manicure and pedicure. It is quite difficult for novice masters to choose a really worthy device among the offered assortment. For beginners, we have compiled a rating of the best modern models that can boast excellent quality at an affordable price.

  1. MAX The company has developed two series of devices: STORM and Max ULTIMATE. The devices of the STORM series differ in budget cost, but the power of such vacuum cleaners does not exceed 32 watts. The case is made of white plastic. In this line you will find desktop and stationary varieties of electrical appliances. The Max ULTIMATE range of hoods has improved characteristics, and the power of such devices reaches 65 W and is equipped with a smooth adjustment system. Vacuum cleaners for manicure "Max" are equipped with modern 3D-bags, which are highly durable.
  2. Ultratech For their devices, the manufacturer chose high-quality and absolutely safe for health plastic, which prevents the client from sticking to the hands during processing. The design is equipped with a new technology of rolling bearings, due to which the noise of the built-in engine is reduced. The power of the vacuum cleaner is 24 watts. The package also includes several dust collectors made on the basis of high-quality wear-resistant material.
  3. Cosmos. Our top three leader is the domestic manufacturer of built-in cooker hoods with a high power of 60 watts. The Cosmos company uses for its devices a wear-resistant shockproof material that is resistant to various chemicals, be it varnish or solvent.The fan itself is made of durable aluminum, and two dust collectors are made on the basis of a two-layer material, which eliminates the transmission of collected dust.

Is it possible to do it yourself

Quality devices for manicure require certain financial costs, so it is not so easy for a novice master to equip his workplace in accordance with standards. If there is no extra money for the hood, then you can make the device yourself at home. All you need is a computer cooler from an unnecessary system unit, a small bag made of thick fabric and a power supply. As a basis, any failed ultraviolet lamp is suitable, the housing of which we will use in the future when creating a vacuum cleaner.

Step-by-step instructions include the following steps:

  1. First, we take out all the internal parts from the old lamp: we only need a body.
  2. Next, cut a hole in the case whose diameter will match the size of the cooler used.
  3. Then we attach our fan using self-tapping screws, on top of the cooler we install any metal mesh.
  4. To make the device work, you must connect it to the power supply.
  5. At the final stage, we sew a dust bag from durable fabric, after which we put it on our fan.

There are tons of videos on the Internet about how to make a desktop and even built-in vacuum cleaner yourself, without spending huge amounts of money.

Tips from manicure masters

When choosing the right model, experienced craftsmen recommend that you follow these tips:

  1. Study the assortment of products offered by a company in advance. Get acquainted with the characteristics, pay attention to consumer reviews. Such forethought will save you from a rash purchase imposed by the seller.
  2. The choice of a suitable device depends on the specifics of the work of a particular master. If you are new to the nail service industry and are ready to go home to your clients, then it is more advisable to choose a compact device that you can always take with you if necessary. Stationary equipment with more powerful functionality is suitable if it is planned to work in the framework of one cabin with high traffic.
  3. In addition, do not forget to pay attention to the length of the cord for connecting to the mains. Too short a wire will cause serious inconvenience during the operation of the device, because the outlet can not always be installed near the workplace.

A high-quality vacuum cleaner with good characteristics will create the most comfortable conditions for both the master and his clients, who will certainly appreciate such a professional approach to business. With all responsibility, approach the choice of the device and try to give preference to well-known trusted brands that have managed to prove themselves.
