If you are going to do manicure professionally, you cannot do without special equipment. Each nail service technician must have a staffed workplace, regardless of where the work takes place - in the salon or at home. Therefore, the choice of a manicure table when working with nails is very, very important. And today we will look at what these tables are like and what you should pay attention to when purchasing. For those choosing a manicure table, photos with dimensions can give a number of interesting ideas.
Why is a comfortable table so important?
When working, a manicurist has to concentrate for a long time and perform small, neat actions. All this requires convenience and carefully selected working attributes, which include a table. In addition, it is important to optimally place all the necessary cosmetics and manicure tools on its working surface.
The parameters of a professional’s workplace are strictly regulated. The height of the manicure table cannot be less than 700 mm; the tabletop material must be waterproof due to the need for constant disinfection of its working surface. If work is carried out for several people in one room at once, the tables should be no closer than three meters from each other.
The manicure room must have a source of water for cleaning working tools. The interior of the room and attractive design are what any manicure business owner pays close attention to. And he does the right thing - the aesthetic impression that the salon leaves on the client is an important success factor, a guarantee that the woman will return to this place more than once.
Choosing a manicure table. Photo options and tips
If you like to do your own manicure at home, if you constantly follow the latest nail design and implement interesting ideas on your own nails, then you are probably surrounded by numerous tools, materials, and equipment for manicure while working. In order to speed up the process and improve the quality of nail design, it is advisable to organize a workspace. A modern manicure table is equipped with convenient shelves, drawers, and stands where you can place and sort nail care accessories.
And if you have extensive experience in designing long or short nails, you often delight your friends with modern manicures and want to provide these in-demand services to clients, then you simply need a high-quality and functional manicure table to work in a comfortable environment. Today you can choose a very comfortable modern table for manicure and pedicure with a curved tabletop, which is convenient to work at, and your client will sit opposite you without her knees touching you. If you plan to do manicures not only at home, but also plan to travel to clients, then you can purchase a compact folding manicure table. There are models with automatically folding table components, but, as a rule, the mechanisms in it wear out quickly. Mechanical folding manicure tables are more durable. There are transforming tables in which all the niches fold very compactly into a convenient box for carrying all the necessary accessories for manicure and pedicure. Choose a table with a built-in extension cord, since sockets in the client’s room may be located far from the place where the table will be placed. In addition to shelves and drawers for manicure tools, paints, gel polishes, UV lamps and other accessories, the table should be equipped with a comfortable lamp with good lighting, a dust extractor and preferably built-in sockets. ♦ HOOD FOR MANICURE TABLE Giving the nail plate the desired shape, adjusting the length of the extended nails, polishing the surface of the nails with files with varying degrees of abrasiveness, a large amount of dust accumulates on the surface of the table, which very easily gets into the respiratory tract. It is especially harmful to breathe dust from nails extended with gel or acrylic. In order not to harm your health, it is advisable to equip your manicure table with a hood that instantly draws in microparticles and they do not rise into the air during operation. There are compact desktop hoods made of plastic that can be moved across the surface of the workspace. But it’s best to choose a manicure table with a built-in stationary hood that won’t take up useful work space. Choose a more powerful hood that runs on mains power.
♦ LAMP FOR MANICURE TABLE During operation, the entire surface of the table should be well illuminated. Choose a lamp with soft, not very bright light. The device must be equipped with a tripod of two parts connected by a movable joint to change the angle of illumination. You can purchase a lighting fixture with a neon lamp, but a fluorescent lamp for a manicure table is most in demand among experienced professionals. If you often do nail designs using thin brushes for complex designs and laying out patterns from small nail art elements, then it is advisable to equip the manicure table with a backlit magnifying glass lamp. You can choose both floor-standing and tabletop models, which are securely attached to the edge of the table. Choose a magnifying lamp with a magnification of 5-6 diopters, with a wide window and soft backlight. With the help of such a lamp, it is easier to eliminate problems with rough periungual skin, apply gel polish evenly on short nails, do airbrushing using stencils, lay out a beautiful pattern with shiny rhinestones on gel polish or pieces of rainbow film in the “broken glass” style.
♦ HOW TO CHOOSE A CONVENIENT AND PRACTICAL MANICURE TABLE ❶ There are never too many shelves and drawers in a manicure table. Make sure that the drawers slide out easily. It is advisable that the drawers be equipped with compartments in which it is convenient to sort jars of varnish, small tools, nail art decor and other little things for nail design. Individual shelves can be installed on the countertop; ❷ Choose a table with rubberized legs for secure fixation on the floor. There are models of tables on wheels for sale, but under no circumstances buy this option, since the manicure workplace should be as stable as possible during work; ❸ It is advisable to choose a table with a slightly curved tabletop and its dimensions should not hamper you while working. As an option: tabletop width is approximately 60 cm, table height is 75-80 cm, length is 1.2 meters; ❹ Do not choose a tabletop that is too rough, but at the same time, your hands on its surface should not slip too much. The countertop coating must be resistant to chemicals used during the work process. After work, it is necessary to disinfect the surface of the manicure table; ❺ Make sure that the edges and corners of the tabletop are rounded and do not injure the skin of your hands; ❻ If possible, immediately purchase a table with a hood built into the tabletop, a built-in electrical extension cord and sockets (for a lamp for lighting, a UV lamp for polymerizing layers of gel polish, a hood, a machine for hardware manicure and pedicure).

Other subtleties of interior arrangement
That is why the number of jobs for manicurists rarely exceeds 4. With a larger number, clients lose the feeling of comfort. It is advisable that each table should be located by the window, since in daylight it is easier for the master and the client to coordinate and perceive color shades.
The manicure room must be equipped with ventilation to remove unpleasant and toxic odors. Of course, there is nothing to say about the level of cleanliness that must be maintained, and the need for salon hostesses to always be smiling and friendly.
It would also be a good idea to make a reservation in advance and organize armchairs or a sofa and a table with a supply of fashion magazines. Or better yet, a TV or music system.
Armrest or pillow for manicure
The manicurist should ensure that his workplace is equipped with a special armrest on which the client will place his hand during the procedure. This accessory is needed so that your hands do not get tired and numb, but are placed comfortably on a soft stand. In addition, the armrest provides stability for the client's hand, which is very convenient for the specialist.
How to make it yourself
Anyone who knows how to sew at least a little can make their own armrest for a manicure. To do this, you only need filler and a piece of fabric. As a filler, you can use foam rubber rolled into a small roll. It is best to choose a wear-resistant fabric, such as leatherette.
After the materials are prepared, you need to do the following:
- Create a pattern of the desired size. The main part of the rectangular shape should be sewn, the edges of which will subsequently be joined by a seam, and two circles, the sides of the roller. Sizes may vary. Averaged:
- diameter of the sides - 13 cm;
- width of the main part - 28 cm;
- length of the main part - 41 cm.
The manicure roller should not be too big - Twist the foam rubber so that the structure is shaped like a roller.
For reliable fixation, the foam rubber can be coated with glue before twisting. - Cover the foam with material.
When covering a manicure pillow, first of all, the main part is formed, and then the sides are sewn on

How to choose a ready-made armrest
You need to focus on convenience and practicality. Before purchasing, it is enough to place your hand on the pillow as the client will subsequently do, and observe your sensations. The roller should not be too wide or, conversely, too narrow. It is important that it is elastic, but at the same time not completely soft, otherwise it will squash and lose its shape.
For convenience, you can purchase or sew replacement covers for the manicure roller. At any time, the cover can be removed, washed and thoroughly disinfected.
It is better to purchase an armrest made of washable material, because it will have to be treated with a disinfectant solution after each client.
You should also pay attention to the material from which the armrest is made. Sanitary rules require it to be treated with a disinfectant before each new client, that is, several times daily. Ordinary fabric will not withstand this and will very soon become unusable. In addition, the material that absorbs liquid will remain wet for some time after treatment, making the pillow unusable.
At first glance, it seems that setting up a manicurist’s workplace can be very expensive, but in reality this is not the case. The main, largest and most expensive piece of equipment is the table, but even it will not require large expenses if you carefully approach the process of choosing it. On various specialized websites, manicure tables are sold for incredible amounts of money (you can find them for 20, 30 and even 50 thousand rubles), but, in fact, this is the most ordinary furniture made from ordinary material. It is simply equipped with the necessary drawers and has certain dimensions that are optimal for accommodating the master and the client. In order to avoid unnecessary costs, but at the same time make the workplace as comfortable as possible, it is necessary to study in detail the features of its arrangement.
Basic purchase requirements
When buying a manicure table for a salon, you should pay close attention to the material of manufacture, the shape of the item itself and its functionality. It is especially important what the countertop is made of. The requirements for it are quite high. The surface must be moisture-resistant and resistant to chemicals. From a decorative point of view, there is no fundamental difference between matte and glossy countertops, but it should be comfortable to the touch, since manicure is a lengthy procedure.
The shapes of tables offered by salon industry enterprises are varied in design and configuration. They can be square or round, equipped with cabinets - both built-in and retractable, and it is sometimes difficult for the master to make a good choice.
The equipment included in different models can also vary significantly. To make a quality purchase, the master must clearly understand the functionality of the future purchase, and how the table will be placed in the salon. The size of the manicure table should be selected according to the available free space. It is not necessary to purchase a copy that is too large - it will clutter the room and will not necessarily be convenient for work. Buying an overly miniature table is also questionable. If space allows, it is better to buy a full-fledged table with normal dimensions.
How to choose a manicure table?
When buying a manicure table in a specialized store, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
- The configuration of the model you like and its dimensions. The furniture should fit well into the space of the room in which it will stand. It is better to sit at the table for a while and assess whether it will be comfortable to work for several hours.
- Choose the right furniture to store equipment, tools and accessories, be it a built-in or mobile cabinet or stationary shelves.
- Special attention should be paid to the surface of the tabletop. It must be moisture resistant and not react with various chemicals used for manicure and disinfection.
- Assess the ease of cleaning the workplace. For example, a glass manicure table looks very stylish, but maintaining its “ceremonial” appearance is problematic. In addition, in winter the surface will be cold, which is not comfortable for the client.
- Complete with additional accessories such as hood, sockets and lighting fixtures.
- In the beauty industry, the aesthetics of the room are very important, so the design of the table should match the interior of the room.
What are they like?
A future purchase can be classified into one of three classes. The lowest of them (economy class) is represented by a model range with minimal functions. Such tables are useful either for home use or for very tiny manicure salons. The necessary additional accessories for such a table are often purchased separately.
A classic manicure table usually combines a low price and a modest, elegant design. The material from which such a table is made is relatively inexpensive. The dimensions of a standard type manicure table, as well as the offered set of functions, usually satisfy the professional needs of the owner and that is why the classic version enjoys enduring popularity.
If you decide to purchase a premium table, you will receive, in addition to high quality, many functions and a number of additional accessories. In addition, such tables often represent a very interesting design solution. They may come complete with a hood, an original lamp or stand, etc. Such tables are mainly equipped in elite beauty salons. The size of a manicure table with drawers in this case can be quite significant.
Other classification
In addition to dividing into classes, the tables are very different from each other in design, functionality and folding mechanism. Your purchase may be stationary or mobile, or it may look like a set for several places to work at once.
Stationary tables are usually found in all nail salons where space allows. Most often, they are equipped with a variety of accessories and fixtures - from shelves and special lighting to hoods, etc. Some models are equipped with built-in lamps.
A manicure folding table, the size of which will suit someone who works at home or in a small cramped room, can be a solution if there is a lack of space. When assembled, it takes up very little space. The design and configuration of such tables can be very different, and the folding mechanism can be manual or automatic.
There are also stands where a master can do an express manicure. They are placed in nail bars, where busy people come and receive a quick manicure from nail technicians. The equipment set consists of a bar counter designed for several people to work at once, seating in the form of armchairs for staff and clients, as well as additional shelving and cabinets for tools. By purchasing such a kit, you can organize an express manicure point in any free corner of a shopping center or beauty salon.
Which table is better to buy: new or used?
This question is considered when the budget is significantly limited. For high-end beauty salons, the answer will be clear: investing in high-quality and certified equipment will be justified. Craftsmen working at home or small budget salons can easily purchase a table for secondary use.
If you choose used furniture with built-in appliances, you need to check its operation and study the technical data sheet. It is advisable that the warranty period for the equipment does not expire.
Important! It is better to give preference to used stationary tables. Stationary models last longer, and folding mechanisms fail faster .
You should also pay attention to the presence of chips, scratches and the serviceability of the folding mechanisms.

What you can't do without
As an accessory for a manicure table, we should mention a source of directional light, which can be desktop or built-in. This attribute is required; no professional can work without it. Good lighting is the key to accurate and accurate work. Modern coatings (gel and shellac) require special LED or ultraviolet lighting lamps.
In addition to the hood, to eliminate unpleasant and toxic fumes, you need a manicure vacuum cleaner, with which the work surface is cleaned of dust and dead skin and nails.
Of course, you can’t do without comfortable chairs designed for both the master and the client, and a retractable cabinet on wheels where numerous equipment will be stored. To protect the tabletop, you can buy disposable covers; it also makes sense to take care of replaceable fittings, especially relevant for folding manicure tables, as well as lubricant for their mechanism.
Manicure table - what is it?
The manicure table is specially designed for the convenience of both the client and the artist. The furniture looks like a familiar table, equipped with all kinds of drawers and shelves. Models differ in shape, size, configuration, and additional devices. When designing a table, it is taken into account that two people should sit at it opposite each other, without their legs touching. Therefore, the table should provide plenty of legroom. This is achieved by carefully selecting the shape of the table. It is better when it is not a simple rectangular structure, but curved in a certain way.
Based on the experience of professionals, tables with built-in sockets, hoods, and additional lighting were created.
Being a professional piece of furniture, a manicure table must meet many requirements.
- After placing the necessary tools and hand care products on the work surface, there should be enough space left. Therefore, models with a large tabletop are preferable.
- To prevent a long manicure procedure from being too tiring, the countertop should be pleasant to the touch and not irritating to the eyes.
- The tabletop fastenings should not interfere with the comfortable position of the legs.
- The working surface of the table must be made of chemically resistant materials.
- The table can have voluminous cabinets on the sides for storing tools.

Manicure table size according to GOST
When purchasing, a lot depends on the height of the artist, because when treating the client’s nails, he remains in a stationary position for a long time and should not experience discomfort. Here the size of the manicure table plays a decisive role.
As a rule, manufacturers focus on a certain average option. The standard sizes of a manicure table, suitable for most professionals, are models with a height of 73 to 75 cm and a working surface with a length of 100-120 cm and a width of 45 to 50 cm. In terms of shape, it is best to purchase a table with a smoothly curved line of the table top.
If acrylic is supposed to be used for manicure, a hood must be present at the workplace. Dangerous chemicals can cause not only discomfort, but also serious consequences such as dizziness, nausea or allergies.
If the size of the manicure table does not allow it to be equipped with a built-in hood, then one should be installed separately in the room. The hood can combine the functions of a vacuum cleaner for the work surface.
Types of manicure table
The variety of manicure table models is not limited to variations in sizes. Depending on the type of design, you can purchase:
- stationary model;
- a folding manicure table, which is convenient to use if the work is done not in a salon, but at home;
- when the master provides on-site services, a transforming table that turns into a compact bedside table with everything you need will be a convenient choice;
- In large shopping centers, express manicure spots are becoming popular, where specialists work behind counters.
If you decide in favor of a stationary model, then you should familiarize yourself with the variety of forms:
- the simplest option is a classic rectangular table;
- a more advanced model has roundings and bends on the part of the master or client;
- when space allows, you can purchase corner or T-shaped structures.
In specialized stores, it is customary to divide furniture not only by type of design and shape, but also by quality and cost class:
- Budget models are the simplest and cheapest, they are made from inexpensive materials.
- The classic manicure table can be found in most salons; it has the best price-quality ratio.
- Premium furniture is made from expensive materials and has a large selection of design options.
Manicure table with hood
More and more professionals provide a wide range of services, which include different types of manicures, gel polish coating and nail extensions with different materials. Dust and fumes from gel and acrylic, as well as nail filings during filing, create discomfort for work and unpleasant sensations for the client. To minimize all harmful factors, furniture often comes with a built-in vacuum cleaner for the manicure table, or otherwise called an extractor hood. When turned on, the device attracts all contaminants, making it easier to clean the workplace after each client.
Corner manicure table
When it comes to saving space in the salon, professionals choose a corner table for manicures. Its obvious advantages:
- saving space, as unused corners of the room are used;
- convenience of the workplace for the master;
- comfortable location of the client;
- The manicure corner table is equipped with additional shelves and cabinets, so all the necessary materials, tools and equipment can be quickly found.
Double manicure table
If a transforming manicure table is purchased to save space when visiting a client’s home, then in order to accommodate more nail technicians in the salon, owners often choose a double table. It is a long tabletop, behind which two specialists can work at once. Zoning occurs using a special cabinet in which the necessary accessories or a small screen are stored.
Manicure table on wheels
About 10-20 years ago there was a real boom in the production of furniture on wheels, which did not bypass the manicure workplace. Professionals quickly realized that the ease of movement and compact storage fade when one careless movement moves the furniture out of place, and as a result, a wound appears on the client’s hands or the finishing coating is smeared. If the space is small and it is impossible to install a full-fledged stationary model, it is better to buy a folding manicure table with a manual mechanism than to endure the inconvenience of moving furniture.
Table to order
If there is no financial opportunity to purchase a high-quality table, some craftsmen decide to make it themselves, because buying material and accessories will generally cost less than the finished product. In addition, by ordering such a table from a private craftsman at an inexpensive price, it is possible to obtain the most complete set of required functions.
The cost of a table, both ready-made and ordered, ranges from 6 to 30 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration and quality of the raw materials. If, when starting your own business, all available funds have been spent, and it is not possible to buy a table of the required quality, then this piece of furniture can be rented.
What types of manicure tables are there?
Professional manicure tables can be classified:
- economical: models are made from economical materials using a minimum of devices;
- classic: are in great demand due to their convenient design, optimally selected equipment and efficiency as a result of the use of inexpensive material;
- premium: these models are created for the most refined taste, meet all the requirements of hygiene, functionality and safety, have optimal equipment, and are also decorated with special elegance.
Depending on the design features, manicure tables are divided into:
- Standard. Standard models prefer to have beauty salons with large spaces at their disposal. Such tables can have many additional accessories: vacuum cleaners, hoods, lamps, display shelves. Many standard manicure tables are equipped with wheels for easy movement around the salon.
Important! When choosing a standard table, it is better to give preference to large-sized models. Sitting at a small table may be uncomfortable for the client, and the master will not be able to work fully.
- Folding . Folding tables are suitable for home service professionals. Such models are good because they take up little space in the room. The folding mechanism can be automatic or mechanical.
Important! Give preference to folding tables with a mechanical mechanism. They are more durable. Automatic mechanisms often fail .
- Portable folding . These models are usually made from chipboard. Aluminum or light metal alloys can be used for fastenings. These models are good for craftsmen visiting clients’ homes.
- Transformers . Transformers models are very popular. They can be folded in several ways and carry many additional functions. Transforming tables with built-in sockets and extension cords are also convenient, especially for rooms where the location of electrics is inconvenient.
Homemade manicure table - drawings, dimensions, assembly
The table can be assembled with your own hands; in terms of the composition of its elements, it is no different from any other - for example, a written one. Its design usually involves fastening shelves from above to the tabletop, and drawers from below. The author can choose the design according to his own taste.
The easiest way is to make a table with a built-in bedside table supported on one leg. You will first need a drawing and calculation of the amount required to purchase accessories and materials. The latter can be MDF or laminated chipboard, that is, a sheet of wood. You will also need a PVC edge, table legs, handles for drawers, as well as hinges and fastening materials, such as self-tapping screws.
It is also worth stocking up on shelf holders, PVA glue, as tools you should take care of a jigsaw, scissors, screwdrivers, a ruler, etc.
The chipboard sheet is cut out according to the selected drawing, then everything is assembled into parts and fastened together. A detailed video explaining the entire procedure for making and assembling a manicure table yourself is easy to find on the Internet these days. The result will be an elegant table of individual design, which will delight the owner with an excellent level of comfort and the presence of all the necessary functionality.
DIY manicure table
When for some reason it is not possible to purchase factory furniture for manicure, you can make it yourself. To do this you need:
- Decide on the configuration and dimensions.
- Draw up a drawing and estimate of the necessary materials.
- Purchase all the necessary components and tools.
- Mark and cut all materials into the required elements.
- Professionals recommend starting assembly with the bedside table; the tabletop is attached last.
- After installation, the surface can be treated, if necessary, with varnish or paint.
- The last step is the installation of a special extractor for nail dust, if it is included in the drawing.
