The E-File is one the most important tools a nail tech needs to have in their repertoire, not only does it allow you to create better shapes and save time, but nail techs who hand-file for their entire careers are much more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and other nerve/tendon/joint-related conditions as a result of wear-and-tear on their bodies.
But before you take your E-File into the salon, you need to know what the different file bits do, the Health & Safety surrounding E-Files and have an in depth knowledge of how they work and how they can be used for different techniques.
There is more to the E-File course than just following the video lessons, this course comes with ongoing support, a learning manual to guide you and a 3-hour LIVE class either online or in Zoom after completion.
