The replacement cycle for nail tools varies depending on the type of tool and frequency of use. Proper replacement ensures safe and hygienic operation.
Replacement Recommendations by Tool Type
Disposable or High-Frequency Consumables
Bug filing strips, sponge files, polishing strips: It is recommended to replace after each customer or after every 5-6 uses. They are considered ineffective when the surface becomes smooth or discolored.
Dusting brushes, nail brushes: Replace every 3-6 months. Replace immediately if the bristles are split or falling out.
Metal trimming tools (cuticle nippers, nail clippers, etc.)
They can last 1-2 years under normal use, but should be replaced immediately if the blades become dull, chipped, loose, or rusted.
Professional nail technicians recommend checking the sharpness and closure of the blades every 6 months.
Power Tool Accessories
Bug filing heads: It is recommended to replace the filing heads used for pre-application and nail removal approximately every 10 uses. Worn heads are prone to overheating or jamming.
Nail lamp bulbs: As consumables, it is recommended to replace them every 1-1.5 years to ensure optimal curing.
Nail art brushes: Replace them promptly after 6-12 months if they start to shed bristles, the tip deforms, or the color application is uneven.
Other auxiliary tools:
Nail vacuum cleaner filter: Replace every 3-6 months to ensure stable suction.
Steel pusher/trimmer: Replace when scratched or deformed to avoid damaging the nail matrix.
