Leading technician tips

The Hyperion Group

The Hyperion Group are the Capones of the nail industry(!) and under them are some of the most proficient technicians in the country; here are some top tips from their education team.

  • Top technicians always favour hand files over electric files (aka – Drills!): this is because without proper training, electric files can be dangerous (LX will bring you more on this later)
  • Acetone dehydrates the natural nail
  • Heat dissolvent under hot water before soaking off
  • Keeping both your hands in contact with each other will give you better stability in your nail work
  • Quality costs: cheap products are difficult to work with and will result in shoddy work
  • Creative Nails SolarOil is a must for all technicians – it covers and cures all manner of ills!
