Whether you operate a nail salon or a salon that offers nail services among many, you will need to invest in equipment. Different equipment is needed for operating a nail salon, and this equipment can be as expensive as that for a nail salon. The cost, of course, will depend on the quality and type of materials and items used in the manufacturing process.

Basic types of nail salon equipment:

1. Similar to a desk, a manicure table provides for the technician many important features that will give them a work area that the manicurist uses to perform their manicures. Nearly all of the technicians use one. They provide a steady surface and include drawers for equipment, a padded hand rest for ergonomic reasons and swivel casters. Those are among the basic options that all of them include. Higher end tables have vents, polish racks and electrical outlets. Retailers offer them from a range of $1,000 for high-end models down to $100, depending on features and materials. These materials that these are usually manufactured with typically include wood laminate, which is durable and easy to clean.

2. A separate piece of equipment in the nail salon is the nail dryer. This is usually set on the manicure table, allowing the client to, after their coat of polish, dry it quickly so that other coats can be applied or so that their won't be damage to the coats of polish.

3. An important feature increasingly in nail salons is the pedicure spa. They are popular for the comfort they provide the client while they are receiving their pedicure. A padded chair offers additional comfort, even sometimes consisting of rolling massagers. The chair has a built-in foot spa for foot soaks often while clients get their nails done as well. These have jets that massage the feet and lower legs, which can be very relaxing. These items as entire units cost between three and four thousand dollars.

4. A smaller but important item is the technician's stool, which allows a technician to face the client while doing their nails. They can be adjusted to the height of both client and technician, keeping the manicurist or pedicurist from stooping or bending, which can be hard on the back at the end of a long day..

These pieces of equipment vary in cost depending on whether they are basic, inexpensive models or high-end models with the latest accessory features. Also, there are both new and used models on the market. Used items can provide value, and are a good option for when an owner is starting out or needs to economize. Buying used equipment can also be risky, however, and should be undertaken with care to check all aspects of a piece to ensure it is working properly.
