Therefore, making such a hood yourself will not be difficult. To do this, you need to be able to work with a soldering iron and prepare the necessary parts.

A homemade vacuum cleaner can be improved by making a housing for it. To do this, you need to make a structure out of plywood that resembles the roof of a birdhouse. The angle between the two slopes should be approximately 120°. You need to cut a hole in one of the sides and cover it with a protective grill. The assembled ventilation product should be attached to this hole from the inside. Place the dust bag on the cooler and start working.
Stationary hoods, which are used by nail specialists in salons, are quite expensive. But at home you can make a built-in model, spending a small amount.

To perform modern modeling and fashionable nail design, we use special equipment, reliable manicure tools and materials so that our well-groomed fingers always look perfect. The popularity of nail extensions with gel or acrylic is growing noticeably, since many of us have quite thin nail plates.

How to deal with this unpleasant problem if you often do nail extensions at home or perform artificial nail modeling for your clients?
Vacuum cleaner for manicure (hood, dust collector)- This is an almost silent device with a durable plate body, equipped with a powerful fan and replaceable dust bags. The hood can be either built-in into a manicure table or mobile for convenient movement of the device.

And the microparticles floating in the air after polishing artificial nails contain a large amount of substances harmful to health and even carcinogenic. Once in the lungs, these substances can provoke the development of allergies, asthma, tracheitis and other diseases of the respiratory system. In addition, this dust can cause headaches and eye inflammation.
The powerful manicure vacuum cleaner instantly sucks up all the dust and remaining material while filing gel or acrylic nails, protecting your body from harmful chemicals.

For any manicurist, a necessary thing in their work is an extractor hood. It is needed to draw in dust that appears when filing a helium nail. Thus, the air in the salon will be much cleaner, neither the master nor the client will inhale chemical particles, and the area around the workplace is always clean.
Most women use special devices equipped with an electric milling cutter to process their nails. It's high quality, doesn't take much time and makes your nails look flawless. But during hardware manicure, a large amount of dust is generated. For safety, it is necessary to use special filtering equipment that operates in suction mode, also helping to prevent the spread of viruses.
The manicure extractor literally turns chemical odors into environmentally friendly ones. Vapors from various chemicals and solvent liquids are completely absorbed by the filter, which contains carbon.
Manicure hoods are usually silent. There are different types of hoods, you can buy them in the same place where everything for nail extensions is sold. When purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the manufacturer, the power of the equipment and the warranty.
Let's take, for example, a specialized air purifier from dust Air-Magic for professional salons and manicure workshops. This cleaner is currently new on the market. Its use does not require holes in the walls and air outlet to the street. It has good lighting and adjustable draft, which makes the specialist’s work easier, as well as a built-in filter that does not require replacement.
An important factor is that it can be moved without problems and its position adjusted both horizontally and vertically, at the discretion of the master. Another plus is that this type of hood is almost silent (depending on the power), which is important for the comfort of people in the cabin. The choice of power is determined by the needs of the cabin.
A built-in manicure hood will not take up additional space on the work area. The built-in hood is suitable for both salons and small office rooms. They do not require additional space. As a rule, they are installed under the master’s work table; the metal grid is built into the table. This type of hood is somewhat more expensive than tabletop hoods, but for the comfort of the client, many craftsmen spare no expense.
Tabletop manicure hoods are usually compact and lightweight, which allows them to be removed after finishing work. They are also often used as a rest for the hands of the master and the client.
Everyone knows that troubleshooting embedded equipment can be quite problematic. As practice shows, repairing a desktop vacuum cleaner plus a desktop costs the same as purchasing a fully equipped table. Many experts will confirm that a powerful hood-stand for manicure gives one hundred percent confidence in the cleanliness of the desktop. Almost every such machine provides a satisfactory level of comfort, thanks to additional mounts for the dust collector.
Everyone understands that the hoods on the market have both pros and cons. The main thing for the buyer is that the equipment fulfills its stated purposes. For example, this is the ability to remove odors or dust from a room, silent operation, pleasant appearance, simple replacement of parts (so-called consumables), warranty and, of course, the possibility of maintenance.
According to reviews, it is imperative to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installing equipment. It is important to understand that the longer the suction tube and the more bends and sections it has, the less efficiently the device will extract dust, and even more so, the smell. If, after all, the pipe is of a decent length, then the fan must be more powerful than usual, and this, of course, affects the cost of the equipment.
If you have any special requirements, you need to discuss this with the seller; it is quite possible that a hood will be made to order for you. In case none of the hoods on the market suits you, there is an option to make it yourself. It's quite simple, with tools and materials that can be purchased at any construction market. There is no need for special equipment for this - you can practically make a hood on a staircase. The total cost of producing such a hood is about two thousand rubles, which is much cheaper than buying it in a store.
The workplace of a manicurist requires order and cleanliness. When processing nails, especially when using a manicure machine, a lot of dust and dirt is generated.
