An electric filer is a necessary tool in every nail salon. E-filer has a number of advantages. First of all, it shortens the time spent on manicures and pedicures. It can be used on a dry cuticle so there is no need to soften them beforehand. In skilful hands, this method is faster, safer and more hygienic than traditional file and nippers.
With an e-filer, the only thing you have to do is to change the file bits. Bits are the main part of a file, they touch the nail plate. Different types of bits are for different tasks and will help us achieve a different result. There is a massive number of file bits available on the market but the most important criteria is the quality. Bits should be made from a safe and durable material, which can be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised fast.
Indigo has a number of file bits in its offer, varying in shape, purpose and gradation. They are made from the highest quality materials which are reliable and durable. Indigo file bits are an investment for years.
