A clean and healthy work environment is just as essential as creating beautiful nails. A good dust extraction system helps you achieve this by filtering filing dust from the air, so you and your clients always work in a clean and professional environment.

Why dust extraction is essential for your salon

Filing and working on nails releases a lot of fine dust. This can not only be harmful to your health but also creates a dusty workspace. A good dust extractor ensures that both you and your clients breathe clean air. It also minimizes the risk of allergies and skin irritations. This allows you to work more hygienically while maintaining a professional appearance in your salon. All of this creates a better experience that can keep clients coming back.

How do you choose a suitable dust extraction system?

When purchasing a dust extractor, you have several options to choose from. To make the right choice, you first need to understand the available options. We've summarized the most common options for you.

Surface-mounted dust extractors

Compact devices that are placed directly on or in the workbench. They extract dust particles at the source. Often equipped with replaceable or washable filters.

Built-in dust extractors

Integrated into the nail table for a sleeker design and space-saving effect. While a built-in model can easily collect dust from the table, the extraction power isn't necessarily stronger than that of surface-mounted models. This depends on the specific make and model. Because the extraction is mounted slightly lower, the dust has a longer path to travel to the filter, which can impact efficiency—especially if there's a draft in the room.

Portable dust extractors

Mobile devices that can be used in different workspaces. Suitable for salons with multiple workstations without a permanent installation.

Extraction systems with HEPA filter

HEPA filters capture the smallest particles, including allergens and some chemical fumes. They're a good choice for nail salons, where chemicals like acrylics and gels are always used. Although acrylics are becoming less popular, gels also emit fumes—though these are often odorless and less harmful as long as the containers aren't directly under your nose.
