Why E‑File Manicure & Pedicure Beat Traditional Soaking
Working dry with an e-file gives nail technicians precision and consistency you can’t get after water soaking. Skin doesn’t swell, the cuticle pocket is clearly visible, and calluses can be reduced layer by layer - safely and predictably. You protect the natural nail/skin, speed up services, and get longer-lasting adhesion for gel nails and better skin care.
- No water = no swelling, better visibility, less bacteria spread, and faster sterilization turnaround - key wins for modern esthetics.
- Cuticle work is cleaner: you open the pocket and tuck color perfectly under the cuticle without micro-cuts.
- Controlled callus reduction on pedicures (no blades or aggressive scraping, less risk of cracks).
What Is Included in Every Course?
