A type cutter is an essential tool for any nail technician, especially those who specialize in nail extensions. This tool is designed to quickly and easily trim and shape artificial nails, making it a must-have for any nail salon. Type cutters come in different shapes and sizes but all serve the same purpose: to cut through artificial nails with precision and ease. The most popular type cutter is the straight type cutter, which is perfect for trimming the tips of acrylic or gel nails. This type of cutter has a sharp blade that allows for clean and even cuts, ensuring a professional-looking result every time. Other popular types of cutters are the curved and angled cutters. The curved cutter is perfect for cutting a curved edge, such as when creating a natural-looking tip. Meanwhile, the angled cutter is ideal for shaping the side walls of the artificial nail, giving it a more natural and tapered appearance. Using a type cutter is relatively simple. First, the nail technician must determine the length and shape of the nail that needs to be trimmed. Then, holding the type cutter at a slight angle, the technician will make a clean, even cut in one swift motion. A common mistake is to use a sawing motion, which can cause the nail to become jagged or uneven. It’s important to note that type cutters should only be used on artificial nails, as using them on natural nails can cause damage and can lead to infection. It’s also important to keep the blade clean and sharp by wiping it down with alcohol after each use and sharpening it regularly. In conclusion, a type cutter is a vital tool for any nail technician who regularly works with artificial nails. With different shapes and sizes available, nail technicians can find the perfect type cutter to fit their needs, allowing them to create perfectly shaped and professionally finished nails.
