Date: Saturday, October 19th, 2024

Created for nail professionals and students with basic to intermediate e-file experience, this workshop is designed to build confidence and efficiency for your manicure services. Through demos, hands-on training and individualized guidance, you'll learn to use a variety of tools and techniques for cuticle exfoliation, nail prep, removal and product shaping. Includes bit kit valued at $100 and a completion certificate. Does not count towards CE hours.

How to prepare:

• Both of your hands should have grown out product (we recommend at least 2 weeks) and be in need of a balance/fill. Acceptable base products include: structured gel, acrylic, soft gel tips, or regular gel polish with TWO base coats. 
• Refrain from doing any cuticle work on yourself for at least a week (or longer) leading up to the class.
• Bring two gloved practice hands (picture below):
• A gloved practice hand is a dish glove filled with flour and tied off with a rubber band and full-well tips glued to the fingers. See an example and learn why we require this here. Do NOT bring a plastic trainer hand (you will ruin it).
• On one gloved practice hand: apply 2 layers of gel base coat, color & top coat.
• On the other gloved practice hand: apply product enhancements (ex: structured gel or acrylic, or a double layer of base if using regular gel polish) - be sure not to perfect the enhancements as we will practice filing and shaping them.
• NOTE: If you only offer one service type, feel free to put that product/enhancement on both practice hands. If you only offer regular gel polish, be sure to put TWO layers of base coat on both yourself, and your practice hands.
