Comment choisir sa table de manucure ?
Notre sélection de tables de manucure
The professional manicure table is much more than just a piece of furniture in a salon or a nail bar. It is the workstation around which the nail technician works several hours a day: applying semi-permanent polish, gel, extensions, nail art, filing…
His choice therefore has a direct impact on work comfort, workstation organisation, hygiene and even the client's experience.
Dimensions, height, suction, storage, electrical connections: these are the main criteria to consider for choosing a manicure table suited to your business.
During a service, the nail technician often remains seated and leaning towards her client's hands for a prolonged period.
A poorly adapted table can worsen bad postures: rounded back, raised shoulders, tilted neck or insufficiently supported arms.

What height should be chosen for a manicure table?
The height of the manicure table must therefore allow working with relaxed shoulders and the back as straight as possible, while keeping the client's hands easily accessible.
There is no universal ideal height: it notably depends on your height, your seat and your client's position. In our range, the heights also vary according to the configurations: the BORIS measures 74 cm, the LUCIA 75 cm and some models can be taller.
The choice of professional chair or stool is therefore just as important as that of the table. An adjustable seat allows you to more easily adjust your working position.
Before choosing, also check the depth of the tabletop. A table that is too deep increases the distance between the professional and her client and may require leaning forward throughout the service.
To remember: do not choose your table solely for its design. Its dimensions must above all be compatible with your morphology, your seat and your way of working.
Should you choose a manicure table with a vacuum?
Filing natural nails, gel or materials used in nail care generates dust which quickly settles on the workstation.
A manicure table with integrated vacuum cleaner allows capturing part of this dust directly at the work area.
This is particularly interesting for a nail technician who performs several services per day.
The integrated suction has several advantages:
- keep a workspace cleaner ;
- limit the dispersion of filing dust;
- to facilitate cleaning between two clients ;
- avoid cluttering the tray with a separate vacuum cleaner ;
- save more space to work.
Depending on the models, the system can operate with a collector, a bag or a filter.
If your activity involves many removals, constructions or services requiring significant filing, extraction is one of the pieces of equipment we would recommend prioritising.
Conversely, a table without extraction can be suitable if you already have an independent extraction system or if your activity requires only minimal filing.
UV/LED lamp and devices
It's a detail that is not always considered when buying a table, but which quickly becomes important on a daily basis.
A nail technician typically uses several electrical devices: UV/LED lamp, lighting lamp, sander, vacuum cleaner…
So you have to think about their nutrition even before installing the workstation.
A suitable table helps to better organise cables and prevents them from unnecessarily crossing the work area or hanging around the workstation.
Some models go further by directly integrating electrical outlets. This is particularly the case for certain professional tables from our range.
Before your purchase, therefore ask yourself a few questions:
- Where is the wall socket in relation to the table?
- How many devices should remain plugged in?
- Where will the UV/LED lamp be placed?
- Are the cables likely to bother the client or the professional?
- Do you need a power strip or sockets directly accessible at the workstation?
A well-thought-out cable routing makes the installation tidier and also facilitates the maintenance of the nail bar.
Quels rangements choisir pour sa table de manucure ?
Vernis, gels, bases, top coats, limes, pinceaux, capsules ou consommables : le matériel d'une prothésiste ongulaire peut rapidement encombrer le poste de travail. Choisir une table de manucure avec rangement permet de garder l'essentiel à portée de main tout en conservant un plateau dégagé pour travailler confortablement.
Selon vos besoins, plusieurs solutions sont possibles :
- Les tiroirs permettent de ranger les produits et petits accessoires utilisés quotidiennement.
- Les niches et étagères offrent un accès rapide au matériel pendant la prestation.
- Une colonne de rangement intégrée permet d'augmenter la capacité de stockage sans ajouter un meuble supplémentaire autour du poste.
- Un présentoir à vernis facilite le rangement des flacons tout en permettant à la cliente de visualiser les couleurs disponibles.
Le volume de rangement nécessaire dépend surtout de votre activité. Pour un petit espace ou une activité occasionnelle, quelques tiroirs peuvent suffire. Dans un nail bar ou pour une prothésiste ongulaire réalisant plusieurs prestations par jour, une table équipée de plusieurs rangements permet de mieux organiser les gels, vernis et accessoires.
À privilégier : des rangements facilement accessibles depuis votre position de travail, sans gêner l'espace pour les jambes ni vous obliger à multiplier les déplacements pendant la prestation.
What size manicure table should you choose?
The best table is not necessarily the biggest.
Its dimensions must correspond to the available space while leaving enough room around the station so that the client and the professional can settle comfortably.
To help you choose, here are three typical configurations.
1. Small space or manicure corner
In a small institute, a hair salon offering a nail service or a shared space, favour a compact manicure table.
A contained width and integrated storage allow the creation of a real professional workstation without taking up too much space in the room.
A mobile or folding table can also be interesting when the space needs to remain flexible.
Preferable: compact format, integrated storage, mobility and shallow tray.
2. Nail bar or institute with permanent station
If manicure is an important activity in your establishment, you can allocate more space to the station.
A table about 100 to 120 cm long generally offers a comfortable surface to install equipment and organise products.
Drawers become particularly useful, just like the integrated suction when gel and filing services are frequent.
To prioritise: built-in extraction, several storage spaces, space for UV/LED lamp and ergonomic seating.
3. Large nail bar with several nail technicians
When several professionals work simultaneously, the organisation of the space becomes even more important.
A double manicure table can allow the grouping of several stations while maintaining a coherent aesthetic.
It is then necessary to provide enough circulation around the tables, several electrical connections and storage allowing each professional to quickly access their equipment.
To prioritise: double station or several coordinated tables, numerous storage options, extraction and optimised management of connections.
Which professional manicure table should you choose?
There is ultimately not a single good manicure table, but a configuration adapted to each activity.
A professional with a small space will primarily look for a compact and functional table. A nail bar performing many gel applications will be more interested in investing in a table with extraction and storage. An establishment with several prosthetists will, for its part, have to consider the overall organisation of the different stations.
At Malys Équipements, you will find professional manicure tables with or without vacuum, compact, folding or double models, as well as furniture and seating dedicated to nail care.
