If you are going to be professionally engaged in manicure, you can not do without special equipment. Each nail service master should have a complete workplace, regardless of whether the work takes place - in the salon or at home. Therefore, the choice of a manicure table in the matter of working with nails is very, very important. And today we will consider what these tables are like and what you should pay attention to when buying. Choosing a manicure table photos with sizes can suggest a number of interesting ideas.
Why a comfortable table is so important
When working, a manicurist has to concentrate for a long time, perform small, neat actions. All this requires convenience and carefully selected working attributes, which include a table. In addition, it is important that all necessary cosmetics and manicure tools are placed on its working surface.
The parameters of the professional's workplace are strictly regulated. The size of the manicure table in height can not be less than 700 mm, the material of the countertop must be waterproof due to the need for constant disinfection of its working surface. If in one room work is carried out immediately for several people, the tables should be no closer than three meters from each other.
In the room for manicure there must be a source of water for cleaning working tools. The interior of the room, attractive design - this is what every owner of a nail business pays close attention to. And he does it right - the aesthetic impression that the client will leave in the salon is an important success factor, a guarantee that the woman will return to this place more than once.
Other subtleties of interior design
That is why the number of jobs of manicure masters rarely exceeds 4. With a larger number of them, the feeling of comfort among customers disappears. It is advisable that each table is standing by the window, since in daylight it is easier for the master and the client to coordinate and perceive color shades.
The manicure room should be equipped with ventilation to remove unpleasant and toxic odors. Of course, there’s nothing to say about how cleanliness should be observed, and about the need for housewives to always be smiling and welcoming.
It will also be useful to take care of the appointment and arrange armchairs or a sofa and a table with a stock of fashion magazines. Better yet, a television or music installation.
Basic purchase requirements
When buying a manicure table for a salon, you should pay close attention to the material of manufacture, the shape of the object itself and its functionality. It is especially important what the countertop is made of. The requirements for it are quite high. The surface must be moisture resistant and resistant to chemicals. From a decorative point of view, there is no fundamental difference between matte and glossy countertops, but it must be comfortable to the touch, since manicure is a lengthy procedure.
The shapes of the tables offered by the enterprises of the salon industry are diverse in design and configuration. They can be square and round, equipped with cabinets - both built-in and extendable, and it is sometimes difficult for a master to make a good choice.
The configuration of different models can also vary significantly. In order to make a quality purchase, the master must clearly represent the functionality of the future purchase, and how the table will be placed in the salon. The size of the manicure table should be selected according to the available free space. Too large a copy is not necessary to purchase - it will clutter up the room and will not necessarily be convenient for work. Buying too small a table is also in question. If space permits, it is better to buy a full-fledged table with normal dimensions.
What are they
A future purchase can be attributed to one of three classes. The lowest of them (economy class) is represented by a model number with minimal functions. Such tables are useful either for home use, or for very tiny manicure rooms. The necessary additional accessories for such a table are often purchased separately.
A classic manicure table usually combines a low price and a modest elegant design. The material from which such a table is made is relatively inexpensive. The sizes of a standard type manicure table, as well as the proposed set of functions, usually satisfy the professional needs of the owner and therefore the classic is enduringly popular.
If you decide to purchase a premium table, you will receive, in addition to high quality, many functions and a number of additional accessories. In addition, such tables are often a very interesting solution in terms of design. A hood, an original lamp or a stand, etc. can be included with them. Elite beauty salons are mainly equipped with such tables . The size of the manicure table with drawers in this case can be quite significant.
Other classification

Stationary tables are usually found in all nail salons, where the area allows. Most often, they are equipped with many accessories and fixtures - from shelves and special lighting to hoods, etc. Some models are equipped with built-in lights.
A manicure folding table, the size of which will suit someone who works at home or in a small cramped room, can be an outlet with a lack of space. When assembled, it takes up very little space. The design and configuration of such tables can be very different, and the folding mechanism - manual or automatic.
There are also racks behind which the master can do express manicures. They are placed in nail bars, where busy people go and get quick manicure service from nail service masters. The set of equipment consists of a bar counter designed for several people at once, seating in the form of chairs for staff and customers, as well as additional racks and cabinets for tools. Having bought such a kit, you can organize an express manicure point in any free corner of a shopping center or beauty salon.
What not to do without
As an accessory for a manicure table, one should mention a source of directional light, which can be desktop or built-in. Such an attribute is required; no professional can work without it. Good lighting is the key to accurate and accurate work. Modern coatings (gel and shellac) require special lamps for LED or ultraviolet lighting.
In addition to the hood, to eliminate unpleasant and toxic fumes, a manicure vacuum cleaner is required, with which the working surface is cleaned of dust and keratinized particles of skin and nails.
Of course, one cannot do without comfortable armchairs designed for both the master and the client, and a pull-out cabinet on wheels, where numerous equipment will be folded. To preserve the countertops, you can buy disposable covers, it also makes sense to take care of removable accessories, especially relevant for folding manicure tables, as well as lubrication for their mechanism.
