MODULE 13
INSTRUMENTE ȘI PRODUSE: CE ALEGI ȘI DE CE
Drill, bits, lamp, bases, gels, brushes, and consumables
In the beginning, many technicians buy things chaotically. They see a product online, a trend emerges, someone recommends a gel, and they order it immediately. Soon enough, their drawers are full, yet they still feel like they are always missing something.
In this course, I teach you which products and tools you truly need, how to choose them, and how to verify if they are worth the investment. You receive a complete list, organized by category, so you stop buying at random and stop tying up your money in products you don't use.
You don't need everything that appears online. You need a well-chosen work system, suited to the services you offer.

- The device's power and stability.
- The speed and how it is controlled.

- Handpiece vibrations.
- Weight and ergonomics.

We do not choose a nail drill just because it looks good, has high declared RPMs, or is heavily promoted.

- How to recognize a worn or damaged bit.
- When it needs to be replaced.
- How to correctly clean, disinfect, and sterilize it, if the material allows.
You don't need all the bits you see online. You need a few bits that suit your technique, and you need to know exactly what to do with each one.
How to choose the lamp
You will learn not to choose a lamp based solely on wattage or design.
We analyze:
- The type and positioning of the LEDs.
- The declared wavelengths.
- Compatibility with the products used.
- Interior space and hand positioning.
- Curing of the thumbs.
- Recommended times.
- Light distribution.
- Warranty and origin.
- Technical information provided by the manufacturer.
- Reviews from technicians who have used it consistently.
A good lamp must work properly with your products, not just have a high number written on the packaging.

You will learn:
- The role of each preparation product.
- When you need Nail Prep.
- What types of primers exist.
- When an adhesion base is necessary.
- Why we do not apply all products to every client.

- How to choose products based on your services.
- How to avoid large collections that you don't use.
- How to check the compatibility of products within a system.
The goal is not to have dozens of gels. The goal is to have a few products that you understand and can use correctly.
Brushes: how many you actually need
You will learn:
- Which brush to use for the base.
- Which brush to choose for gel.
- Which brush is suitable for acrygel.
- Which brushes are necessary for color and cuticle application.
- Which brushes you need for lines and design.
- How to choose the shape and size.
- How to check the quality of the bristles.
- How to care for and store the brushes.
- When a brush needs to be replaced.
You don't need every model available. You need the brushes that support the services you provide.
Consumables and products that must always be in stock
You will receive clear guidelines for:
- Essential products that you must have.
- The minimum quantity required.
- Consumables that need frequent restocking.
- Backup products that are worth keeping on hand.
- Disposable items.

How to check a brand before you buy
Before you order, learn to analyze:
- The official website.

- The information on the packaging.
- The technical descriptions.
- The instructions for use.
- The provenance and traceability of the products.
- The return and warranty policy.
- The support offered after the purchase.
- Reviews on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Google.
- The experiences of technicians who use the products constantly.
- How the brand responds when a problem arises.
- Whether the results presented online are real and repeatable.
A large number of followers alone does not demonstrate quality. Neither a viral video nor a single recommendation is enough to buy an entire system.
How do you analyze reviews
You will learn how to:
- Search for reviews on multiple platforms.
- Differentiate between advertising and actual experience.
- Follow recurring reviews, not just a single comment.
- Verify if the person has used the product for a sufficient amount of time.
- Analyze the way the product was applied.
- Observe whether issues occur frequently or in isolated cases.
- Check the brand's reaction to feedback.
- Avoid making a decision based solely on an influencer.
How to shop without tying up your money
You will learn to categorize your purchases into:
- Needed now.
- Needed in the next stage.
- Backup products.
- Products for new services.
- Wants that can wait.
Before every order, you will analyze:
- What services you offer.
- What products you use the most.
- What you already have in stock.
- Which products are about to expire.
- What your clients are actually asking for.
- How many appointments you have.
- How much you can afford to invest.
- How long it will take to recoup your money.
- Whether the purchased product brings you income or just takes up space in a drawer.
Salon shopping and profit
Every unnecessary product purchased reduces your profit.
You will learn:
- How to set a monthly budget for products.
- How to calculate consumption.
- How to track the products that are actually being used.
- How to avoid excessive stock.
- How to avoid buying entire collections when you only need a few shades.
- How to compare cost with the number of services performed.
- How to differentiate an investment from an impulsive purchase.
- How to reinvest without ending up with no profit at the end of the month.
A full drawer does not automatically mean a well-prepared salon. A well-prepared salon has the right products, in the right quantities, used within a clear system.
Less chaos. Fewer expenses. More profit.

- Buying only what you need.
- Building a complete kit without unnecessary products.
