Mastering the E-file

Nail The Season

Mastering the eFile is a comprehensive, skills-based course designed to help nail professionals confidently use an e-file to elevate their services, improve efficiency, and protect both their clients’ nails and their own bodies. This course starts with the foundations—covering health and safety, nail anatomy, client assessment, and identifying nail damage caused by over-filing—so you understand exactly what you’re working on and why technique matters. You’ll then dive into understanding your e-file, including how it works, proper maintenance, and cleaning, before moving into bit education. You’ll learn the different bit shapes, grits, and materials, along with exactly what each bit is designed for—removing the guesswork and building confidence in your tool choices. Product removal is covered in depth, comparing soak-off versus e-file removal, teaching safe debulking techniques, avoiding heat spikes, and creating a consistent removal routine. Safe cuticle work and nail prep are demonstrated step by step, including how to use a cuticle bit correctly, selecting prep bits, and creating flawless prep to improve retention. Finally, you’ll master refining, infills, and rebalancing—learning how to safely remove bulk, redefine apex and structure, and seamlessly blend outgrown product for professional, long-lasting results. This course is ideal if you want to achieve quicker appointments, improve nail prep and retention, confidently offer more advanced services, build efficient, repeatable systems, and reduce repetitive strain for a longer, healthier career. Mastering the eFile gives you practical techniques you can apply immediately—helping you work smarter, deliver exceptional results, and file with confidence.
