In just three days, you’ll master safe e-file techniques, perfect cuticle work, and fast nail prep without risking client comfort. Even if you’ve never held a drill before - you’ll get it right.
Top nail techs choose the Russian (e-file) manicure because it’s faster, cleaner, and easier on the hands.
