In this lesson…

You’ll learn the different types of brushes and what they are used for.

Nail brushes are essential for hygiene and nail prep, with designs tailored to different needs:

  • Soft-Bristle Brushes: Gentle on skin and nails, ideal for everyday cleaning and removing debris.

  • Stiff-Bristle Brushes: More abrasive for scrubbing stubborn dirt, calluses, or product residue (e.g., acrylic dust).

  • Double-Sided Brushes: Feature both soft and stiff bristles for versatile use.

  • Antibacterial Brushes: Infused with antimicrobial properties to reduce bacterial growth.

  • Electric Nail Brushes: Rotating heads for deep cleaning and exfoliation (common in pedicures).

Pro Tip: Clean and disinfect brushes after each use to prevent bacterial buildup. For salons, opt for autoclavable or disposable brushes to maintain hygiene.
