WOOD FILE 100 / 180

Professional Wooden Nail File – 100/180 Grit (Ultra-Slim: 2.5 mm) Perfect the architecture of technical nails down to the smallest detail with the YAS Professional Wooden File. Specifically created for technicians who emphasize millimeter precision, this file stands out due to its ultra-slim profile of just 2.5 mm. It is the essential tool for accessing difficult areas that classic (thick, foam-core) files cannot reach without compromising the nail structure or hurting the client: achieving the perfect finish on lower laterals and safely contouring growth points. Technical Specifications & Product Architecture Ultra-Slim Profile (2.5 mm): The rigid wooden core reduces the file's thickness to a minimum. This feature prevents visual "thickening" of the nail during filing and allows easy access under the free edge. Calibrated Dual Grit (100/180): * 100 Grit (Hard): Dedicated to the rapid modeling of technical material (gel, polygel, acrylic) and defining length. 180 Grit (Medium): Ideal for smoothing the surface, finishing fine details, and preparing the nail for color or top coat application. Premium Wooden Core: Offers superior rigidity compared to plastic-core files, ensuring the file does not bend during parallel processing, which guarantees perfectly straight lines. Eco-Friendly / Personal Option: Being made of wood, it is an excellent and more environmentally friendly alternative for technicians who prefer using a new file for each client (disposable/personalized kit). Key Salon Benefits (Architectural Precision) Access to Growth Points: The growth point (where the natural nail detaches from the nail bed) is extremely vulnerable. A thick file will cut into this area, weakening the structure. The 2.5 mm file fits perfectly underneath, cleaning excess material without touching the critical point. Impeccable Lower Laterals: Helps lift and perfectly finish sagging lower laterals—a mandatory step for modern shapes (salon almond, ballerina, arched square). Zero Risk of Injury: The fine edges and compact structure significantly reduce the risk of rubbing or cutting the client's lateral folds. Usage Guide & Precision Protocol Use the 100-grit side to establish the rough shape of the extension, then flip to the 180-grit side to refine the surface and edges. 🛡️ The Secret to Perfect Architecture (Pro Tip): The biggest mistake in finishing lower laterals is using a file with a thick foam core (4-5 mm). When you insert a thick file under the nail to file the lower lateral, the foam's thickness will automatically (and unintentionally) file a "step" into the material above or "eat away" at the growth point, encouraging the nail to break from the quick in less than a week. By using this 2.5 mm wooden file, place it perfectly parallel to the finger's axis. Its rigidity and thinness will guarantee a straight, clean line while preserving the structural strength of the apex and stress points!
