Electric Nail File Training
Nail technicians use electric nail files to expedite services. Because improper use of an electric file can cause damage to the nail plate, responsible technicians receive training before using one. Does this Spark an idea?

Significance
-
A nail technician without training might use too much pressure, leave the file in one place for too long, or use a bit that is too course, causing cuts or abrasions on the nail.
Aspects
-
Training teaches technicians how to compare different types of electric files, methods of use, how sanitize and disinfect them, and which sanding bits to use for certain services
-
Uses
-
Some states, such as Colorado, require nail technicians to receive training and certification before using an electric file. In other cases, a nail technician may take a training course to feel more confident when using the file or to fulfill requirements for continuing education.
Cost
-
In 2010, Career Builder Institute and the Cosmetology Campus offered training courses. The cost depends on how many credit hours training fulfills but ranges from $15 to $40. Manufacturers of electric nail files might include the training free with the purchase of a file. Additionally, nail technology courses at some beauty colleges include electric nail file training and certification as part of the program.
