I am a manicurist and esthetician, so I bought this lamp to help me with facials, waxes and the manicures and pedicures that I do. It was very important that I had a great light and excellent magnification. This light is bright which is great for removing ingrown nails painlessly. I take pictures of my work and post it on Instagram and my nails come out amazing. Before I had to waste time fixing the manicures and pedicures but with this lamp I can do it once and get it perfect. For facials the light is amazing-blackheads, melasma, sun marks everything I need to do for my clients I can do. I highly recommend this amazing lamp!
