Plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 1 grit 100/180 Staleks

Plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 1 Staleks, 100/180 grit: the finish that makes the difference

The plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 1 Staleks is the finishing file par excellence. With its light plastic body and its double-sided abrasive in 100/180 grit, it comes in once the heavy work is done and the skin needs to be made smooth, even and pleasant to the touch. This is the stage your clients notice straight away, the one that turns a correct pedicure into a truly finished one.

Understanding 100/180 grit

On a foot file, the number indicates how fine the abrasive is: the higher it is, the finer the grit. Grit 100 is a medium grit: it refines areas that are still rough, evens out the marks left by a coarser abrasive and works without being aggressive. Grit 180 is a fine grit: it smooths, it polishes, it closes the treatment. Together they cover most of the finishing work on regularly maintained feet, without ever taking off more skin than necessary.

Two sides, two moments of the treatment

The double-sided design lets you chain both stages with a single accessory: start with the 100 side to even out, turn the file over and finish with the 180 side to smooth. No tool change, no time lost, only one accessory to clean at the end of the appointment. On a busy schedule, that simplicity counts as much as the quality of the abrasive.

A plastic body designed for the salon

The green plastic body is easy to spot on the tray: at Staleks, green corresponds to the 100/180 grit, not to be confused with the pink 60/80 version. It makes the file light and easy to hold, including when you work the heel with the foot resting. It handles effortlessly, does not soak up moisture and rinses in seconds under running water. It is the practical accessory you keep within reach on the pedicure tray, and one you can stock in numbers without straining the salon budget.

How to use it

Work on clean, dry skin, or on skin lightly patted dry after a foot bath, according to your protocol. First run the 100 side over the rough areas, with regular strokes in the same direction, without pressing and without lingering in one spot. Then turn the file over and smooth with the 180 side to even out the surface. Dust off, rinse and dry the foot, then apply a moisturising cream to complete the treatment. If the skin is very thick, start with a coarser grit before coming back to this file.

Hygiene and care

After each use, brush off the skin residue, rinse under clear water, then disinfect the file according to the protocol in force in your salon. Let it dry thoroughly before storing: an abrasive stored damp clogs up and loses its bite. Replace the accessory as soon as the abrasive surface turns smooth and stops catching the skin.

The right grit at the right time

A 100/180 file does not play the same role as a 60/80 file. Very coarse grit takes down thick calluses and very dry heels, while this medium to fine grit smooths and finishes the work. Many professionals keep both on the tray: coarse grit to open the treatment, fine grit to close it. The CLASSIC line by Staleks makes it easy to build exactly that set. NC Beauty Pro selects the abrasives and instruments that make pedicure work simpler, faster and neater.
