E-File Training Course

In-Person Training £150.00

Also Available online £90.00

ABT Accredited – Kelly Ashby Nail Academy

This course will teach you the techniques needed to safely and efficiently use an electric file (E-File). You will learn how to reduce strain on your hands and wrists, avoid RSI, shorten treatment times, and work more cost-effectively – all while providing a safe and comfortable service for your clients.

A professional quality E-File is recommended, and you will need to bring your own to the training session.
We recommend brands such as Lucy Pastorelli. Cheaper files from eBay/Amazon are not suitable for professional use and can be uncomfortable for clients.

Your E-File should:

  • Feel comfortable for you and your client
  • Not vibrate during use
  • Have variable speeds
  • Accept standard-size bits
  • Come with a warranty
 

You will learn how to use your E-File to:

  • Remove gel polish from overlays/enhancements
  • Debulk product
  • Reduce length
  • Carry out cuticle skin work
  • Prepare the natural nail
  • Refine product ready for infill
  • Remove top coat ready for gel polish removal
  • Carry out safe removal
 

You will also learn:

  • What the different E-File bits are used for
  • How your E-File works
  • Hygiene for your E-File and clients
  • How the E-File can speed up your treatment time
  • Why it is safer for your client
  • How it helps prevent RSI
 

Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive a Kelly Ashby Nail Academy ABT-accredited certificate.

Requirements

Please attend training with enhancements or overlays with gel polish (bright colours preferred) that have been on for 2–3 weeks.
