Technologies for the development of nail servicesare improving simultaneously with the requirements imposed on them. Today, a highly qualified manicurist must have in his arsenal not only a traditional file and tweezers, but also have the skills of hardware nail treatment. French and Italian beauty salons were the first to test this method. Gradually, the advanced experience was picked up by other European and American colleagues, spreading throughout the world over the years. Over the past ten years, hardware manicure has acquired its target audience, which is actively in demand. Compared to trimmed manicure, it can provide greater efficiency and increased safety. This type of manicure is ideal for girls with problematic, flaking nails, because the risk of cuts or cracks, and, consequently, infection, is practically reduced to zero. However, this rule applies only if the master is truly a high-class professional, because otherwise the likelihood of skin damage increases many times over. Hardware manicure is one of the most gentle methods of nail care. It will also be appreciated by those who experience increased cuticle growth. After a hardware manicure, it slows down, and if the procedure is carried out constantly, it can stop completely. The entire process of performing a manicure using a device takes about half an hour. The procedure should be done no more than twice a month, seeking help from specialists in a beauty salon. They will tell you how to properly care for your nails after a hardware manicure, and will also help in solving the problems described below.
- Eliminate coarsening skin, including calluses;
- Get rid of unaesthetic burrs on the fingers;
- Carefully release the nail plate from the peeling and damaged surfaces;
- They will give an ideal smoothness and shine to the nails - their own or artificial.
Adaptations for hardware manicure
Professional manicure machinemultifunctional, consists of a special device with a rotating mechanism and attachments of various shapes, sizes and abrasiveness. The principle of its operation is similar to that used in dental drills. It is imperative to provide the ability to select a specific speed mode, since each stage of nail and hand skin processing has its own rotation speed. Usually, its upper limit does not exceed 30 thousand revolutions per minute. An important detail in the device is a built-in mini-vacuum cleaner. It protects the master and the client from inhaling harmful dust, which is inevitable when working with modeling natural, and especially artificial nails. A fan located in the handle of the device prevents it from overheating. Mechanization of manual labor is very appropriate when correcting extended nails, because with the help of a manicure machine and the maximum rotation speed of coarse-grained attachments, you can very easily achieve the desired effect when cleaning chips and cracks in such nails, giving them the desired shape, thickness or smile line. When planning to do a hardware manicure, keep one thing in mind: the handle of the device must be held correctly - like a pencil. At the same time, it is necessary to correctly calculate the ratio of the pressing force and the speed of rotation of the attachments, since too much pressure can damage the nail plate. All cutters during work must be strictly parallel to the nail, and the movements must be verified and careful, from right to left. When performing a manicure, you must strictly follow the safety rules. Hardware manicure allows you to carry out not only standard nail design procedures: cuticle treatment, shape and length correction. It has proven itself very well in such a difficult task as gentle polishing of the nail plate, treatment of problem (ingrown) nails, grinding calluses and skin lateral ridges.
How to do hardware manicure
- Before you do the hardware manicure, you should do a preliminary preparation of hands. They are thoroughly washed with soap and treated with any antiseptic agent;
- After removing the remains of the old varnishto move the cuticle, gradually squeezing it, using a fine-grained corundum nozzle in the form of a truncated cone. It is very important not to touch the surface of the nail so that longitudinal furrows do not appear on it;
- One of the advantages of a hardware manicureis the fact that all treatment of nails occurs without prior softening by "soaking" hands. This prevents leaching of microelements and does not provoke stratification of nail plates;
- The keratinized skin on the lateral ridges of fingers is cleaned off with a cylindrical grinding cap at a speed of about 15,000 rpm;
- After this place, subjected to cleaning, should be polished with a rounded corundum nozzle at a speed of no more than 12 thousand rpm;
- Thus, each finger is processed. At the end of the procedure, a special nourishing oil or cream is applied to the nails and cuticles, which help to strengthen and improve the nails;
- The final chord is polishing the nail with felt or suede nozzles. This will give your nails a well-groomed and impeccable look.
Procedure using hardware technologiesmay also be in demand as an auxiliary operation that helps to get rid of any inconvenience or discomfort in each specific case. For example, it can be used to remove too rough skin or smooth out the surface of the nail. In order to do a hardware manicure correctly, it is necessary to take into account the individual features of the nail structure and skin condition, so you cannot do without a preliminary consultation with a specialist. Without knowing the intricacies of the work, you can injure your hands, which will lead to sad consequences. Go to a beauty salon, watch how the master works, ask him the questions you are interested in. And only after that you can try to carry out the procedure yourself.
