Plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 3 grit 60/80 Staleks

Plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 3 Staleks, 60/80 grit: the file for difficult heels

Some feet need more than a finishing grit. The plastic foot file CLASSIC 10 TYPE 3 Staleks was designed for them: a light plastic body, a double-sided abrasive and a 60/80 grit, in other words the sharpest grit in the pedicure toolkit. It takes on thick calluses, very dry heels and rough pressure zones, exactly where a fine file would glide along without removing anything.

Why choose a 60/80 grit

On an abrasive, the lower the number, the coarser the grit. Grit 60 is a very coarse grit: it bites into thick skin and removes material quickly, which limits the number of passes and therefore the strain on your hand. Grit 80, only slightly finer, takes over to even out the surface once the bulk has been removed and to prepare the ground for a finishing grit. This pair is made for feet that have been neglected for a long time, for heels marked by a dry season or by open shoes.

Two sides for progressive work

The double-sided design lets you work in stages without changing accessory: take the skin down with the 60 side, even it out with the 80 side, then move to a finer grit, a 100/180 file for instance, to smooth and finish. Working in steps gives a far more even result than a single pass, and above all a far more comfortable experience for the client.

A light and practical plastic body

The pink plastic body announces the grit at a glance: at Staleks, pink marks the 60/80 file while green corresponds to the 100/180. It brings lightness and a secure hold, including when you have to work the heel under pressure or the outer edge of the foot. It does not absorb water, rinses in seconds and lies flat on the pedicure tray. It is the simple, sturdy accessory you like to have in several copies when appointments follow one another all day.

How to use it without overdoing it

Work on clean, dry skin, or on skin lightly patted dry after a foot bath. Run the 60 side in regular strokes, always in the same direction, over thick areas only: the heel, the sole, the outer edge. Do not linger in one spot and never use such a coarse grit on thin or sensitive skin. Then even out with the 80 side, dust off, rinse and dry the foot. Finish with a fine grit and a moisturising cream for a soft, comfortable result.

Hygiene and care

The amount of skin removed with a 60/80 grit calls for careful cleaning. Brush the abrasive to clear the residue, rinse thoroughly under clear water, disinfect according to your salon protocol and let it dry completely before storing. A clogged abrasive loses its efficiency: replace the file as soon as it no longer catches the skin as it did on the first day.

Building your CLASSIC toolkit

A successful pedicure is a matter of moving through the grits. The 60/80 opens the treatment and does the heavy work, the 100/180 closes it with a smooth, soft finish. Having both on the tray means adapting the treatment to each foot rather than imposing a single grit on every client. The CLASSIC line by Staleks brings these essentials together in a sober finish and at a consistent level of quality. NC Beauty Pro selects reliable accessories for pedicure professionals, designed for efficient work that respects the skin.
