For more than two decades, nail technicians have used electric nail files for all types of services. Despite their wide use, there hasn’t been consistent or widely available information or education on their proper use in salons.

In recent years, however, electric nail files have gained new ground more than ever. Manufacturers and nail technicians are aware of the importance of knowing how to properly use such a tool. Without proper education and practice, a nail technician can seriously damage a client’s nails and, potentially, permanently damage the nail matrix and inhibit nail growth.

It is said electric nail files still get a bad rap from nail technicians who use them improperly, from technicians who don’t use them and fear them, and from the myths that some nail techs still insist on believing and propagating. “Sometimes our industry is its own worst enemy”. Although those words may hold some truth, it’s also a fact that the industry is stepping up its efforts and attempting to make nail professionals as skilled as possible with these instruments.

With more and more salons vying for the public’s attention, proper education is one good way of putting yourself ahead of the rest. And we’re not just talking about getting nail techs more education. You also need to keep your clients in mind by educating clients by explaining the benefits of using an electric nail file. Let them know why electric nail files can be a good choice.

Once you’re well versed in electric nail file use, you’ll be able to speak with confidence and authority to clients as well. After all, there’s nothing worse than a nail technician who can’t explain what she’s doing to a client or seems unsure. If you encounter a client who’s had a bad experience at another salon, its all the more reason to show her you knows what you’re doing.
