Key Factors When Considering Your Manicure Table’s Size.

1- Consider Your Chairs

When buying a manicure desk the height of the tables need to be in sync with the chairs that would be used.

My advice on this is to invest in adjustable chairs.

By having adjustable chairs:

1. Gives you the ability to adjust your chair to fit your client’s height and your height as well
2. Also, it gives you the Flexibility to Choose tables With Varying Sizes.

Now if your salon doesn’t have adjustable chairs, your tables need to be in sync with your chairs.

For a table that is 30 inches in height, you are gonna need a chair that is roughly 18 inches in height.

2- How Much Accessories You Need on Your Desk

This is gonna be subjective if you are the type of nail technician that needs a lot of your tools within your hand reach, you are gonna need a wide desk.

On this point, I am not a big fan of having my manicure table clustered, this looks and feels unprofessional.

Instead, you should have desks with drawers and compartments to stow away your tools.

3- How Much Space You Have in Your Salon

If you have a lot of space in your salon you can afford to buy wide mani tables, but if space is limited consider using smaller tables.

By buying desks that complement the amount of space that you have, gives your salon a nice open space feeling instead of feeling clustered.

4- Width Needed

The width of your tables, shouldn’t be too much this allows you to properly do your manicures.

By width, I am referring to the space that separates you from your client.

Imagine if you have to constantly be stretching your hands over the table to get to your customers.

Now if you have long hands you could have more width, though for me I prefer having less distance from my customers.
