One of the greatest things about the nail industry is that there are so many options when it comes to building the kind of career you want. Some techs thrive on the excitement and glamour of creating dazzling nail art, while others are fulfilled by working in a medical setting and helping others.

eHEPA® technology also captures and destroys biological contaminants at extremely high high kill rates, which is especially important in a medical setting.  Her machine also has a built in LED light that illuminates her work space.
