Frequently Asked Questions
What grit should you choose for natural nails versus artificial nails?
Natural nails call for a finer 180–240 grit file that won't put unnecessary stress on the nail plate. Shortening and shaping gel or acrylic nails needs a coarser 100–180 grit, while anything above 180 grit is best for final smoothing and polishing the surface.
How often should nail files be replaced or disinfected?
Wipe down a file with disinfectant after every client, but it will still gradually lose its abrasive power and should be replaced every 2–3 months with regular use. Professional salons typically keep a dedicated file per client for hygiene reasons.
What's the difference between a file and a buffing block?
A file is used to shorten and shape nail length, while a buffing block has several sides of decreasing grit and is used to smooth the surface of the nail plate and buff it to a high shine.
What's the correct filing technique to avoid damaging nails?
Always file in one direction, from the edge toward the centre of the nail, never back and forth, which generates heat and causes splitting. Hold the file at a slight angle and use light pressure — thinner, more brittle nails need a finer grit and gentler strokes.
