Whether you work as a mobile nail technician or need to update your salon tools, here are the must-have products you need to provide a quality manicure or pedicure service.

1. Professional Foot File

Maybe one of the most important tools for a professional pedicure is a professional, stainless steel foot file. But what makes a foot file better than another? They must have the following qualities:

Easy to clean — A high-quality foot file needs to be easy to clean; stainless steel and glass foot files can be soaked in sterilising liquid without any problems.
Durability — A foot file gets put under a lot of pressure, and the last thing you want is for a foot file to snap or bend during a treatment. When choosing a foot file, make sure it is all one piece so there are no weak spots. Both glass and stainless steel foot files are durable and will last a long time.
Ergonomic — Lightweight and designed with a handle shape that is comfortable to use. This ensures your wrists are not under any unnecessary strain during treatments.

Our high-quality, ergonomically designed professional stainless steel foot file is a must-have addition to your pedicure tool kit. Easy and fast to disinfect and sterilise in between clients, this is a must for any salon or mobile pedicure service.

This exceptional double-sided foot file, with multi-directional grit, is lightweight, with a contoured handle that ensures comfortable use. Super strong, with both coarse and fine-grit sides, the file can be used to remove calluses and hard skin. The unique design ensures skin is always left smooth and soft after every pedicure treatment.

This stainless steel masterpiece was created with endurance in mind — this ULTIMATE stainless steel foot file is sure to become your go-to filing tool for pedicures.

3. Cotton Wool Pads
