High-quality manicure cannot be done without a comfortable and clean workplace, because it takes far more than an hour to create beautiful and well-groomed hands. This is a manicure table - it can be factory-made or made by one’s own hands (if the manicurist receives clients at home).
Characteristic
The working surface of the manicurist should contain a large number of tools and at the same time not look cluttered. Therefore, it is important to choose an ergonomic and roomy option so that it is convenient not only to the master, but also to the client. On the table itself, as a rule, there is a lamp for drying nails, a roller for hands, disposable napkins and an apparatus for processing cuticles. A dry oven and disinfectors may be nearby, but not necessary.
Varnishes, gel polishes, accessories for manicure are usually located on a rack or hanging shelf next to the table. This is convenient, since the client, arriving at the master, selects the desired shade of coating on the “daisy”, and the master does not need a large number of bottles at hand.
Cutters, nail files, napkins and cotton pads, various supplies can be in shelves under the table. They can be open or closed.
A manicure table can have a standard or unusual table top shape, one or two seats for a client. It can be folding or ordinary, with or without a stand, with built-in lighting and a hood, and so on.
For home use, you can choose the economical option, made by yourself. Such a table will not take up much space, but will create the atmosphere of a classic workplace of a manicurist in the room.
Dimensions
A standard factory manicure table has optimal sizes: length 1.15 m, height 73-75 cm, canvas width - 45-50 cm. Such dimensions allow the master and client to feel comfortable at the table. The standard can be changed in favor of unusual designs, if required for a particular interior. But any configuration should be convenient - both for the client and for the master.
A manicure table of standard dimensions is suitable for any salon. For home use, you can choose a smaller option, especially if the area of the apartment is small.
Color schemes
The color palette for modern manicure tables is quite extensive. Shades of countertops and cabinets are selected depending on the interior of the cabin or the personal preferences of the master. Today, many prefer a simple and stylish white color. This option will fit into any interior, will not visually clutter up the space. In addition, white shades of furniture always look more aesthetically pleasing than color options.
White furniture needs proper care. After each client, it is necessary to clean up the workplace and remove dirt. For convenience, you can use disposable medical napkins that are spread on the work surface and discarded after one manicure.
Tables of dark shades require even greater cleanliness - on their surface, as a rule, traces of hands and fingers remain visible, which does not always look neat.
Styles
In a beautiful stylish place it is pleasant to be and enjoy high-quality manicure. Any woman who comes to the salon wants to not only update the manicure, but also to relax. That is why the owners of beauty studios pay great attention to the interior, shades and various accessories. But choosing a salon style and furniture, it is necessary to think first of all about functionality and convenience. After all, nobody will like to sit for several hours in an uncomfortable chair or at a bad table.
Arriving at the salon, the client immediately pays attention to the decor and cleanliness. The general style of the institution, beautiful furniture, lighting - all this affects the outcome of a visit to the master.
Now simple simple interiors, unusual furniture in a minimalist style, interesting accessories are relevant. For example, a style such as a loft is in fashion: high ceilings, rough concrete and brick, massive but laconic furniture. A manicure table for such an atmosphere can be made of solid wood and steel parts.
It is easier to choose furniture in a classic interior, but you should pay attention to the quality of materials and assembly. In nail salons, there is a lot of traffic, so the furniture must be strong and with a strong coating in order to operate it for as long as possible. Varnish, PVC and MDF are most suitable for these purposes.
The futuristic style of the interior with an abundance of light, furniture of unusual shapes, bright details attracts more and more attention today. This style can be used for a beauty salon, but first of all, you need to think about a comfortable place for the client and the master.
Materials
A manicure table can be made of several types of materials: wood, MDF, laminated particleboard and particleboard, steel, glass, plexiglass. The most common combination options are: glass and MDF, steel and laminated particleboard, wood and steel.
For the salon, the most practical option would be a manicure table made of MDF or particleboard with a coating of laminated canvas. It is easier to look after him, and he fits into the middle price category.
Tables made of metal and glass or solid wood have a rather high price. Therefore, only a salon of the highest class can afford them.For a home manicurist, such a table is not needed - you can do with an economical standard version of modern materials.
Glass manicure table is not quite suitable for these purposes, because:
- it can break;
- requires constant care;
- uncomfortable.
Glass can only be used as an addition to the countertop.
If the owner of the salon wants to have transparent weightless furniture in the interior, then it is better to choose plexiglass. This is a modern plastic that can have almost any shape. Such a table for manicure will be an original solution for the salon.
Models and accessories
There are many models of manicure tables for every taste:
- classic rectangular shapes with drawer and drawers;
- small folding tables that are used by home craftsmen;
- folding tables and transformers, folding or double.

The vacuum cleaner qualitatively cleans the surface and air above the workplace from acrylic dust and other volatile materials.
Hood tables are also popular. They do not need to purchase a separate hood or vacuum cleaner. The hood is located under the table and does not interfere with either the client or the master. There are several holes on the countertop through which the working surface and air are cleaned.
Many tables for manicure are equipped with lighting - one or two lamps. This is quite convenient, because the ergonomics of the table are already thought out, and the master does not need additional light sources.
