I used to go to nail salons to get my nails done until I met my husband! I am a lucky wife that gets her manicure and pedicure in the comfort of her home. I bought this tool about a year ago and it is very easy to use by him or by myself. You just have to make sure that you soak your fingers in warm water before to soften your skin and voila! Only negative point that isn't affecting the star rating is the cap doesn't stay well on and we just stopped putting it on.
