Are you ready to become an E-Pedi Expert?

During this one day course, we will go through all the stages of a successful E-Pedi, including: theory, consultation, area set up, correct pedicure procedure and follow up steps. Here at Willow, we are advocates for the "Willow Way" this means working "Your Way". If you wish to solely use E-file for prep, we have got you covered. If you would like to use a combination of E-file prep and traditional methods, then we are here to support you every step of the way. There is no right or wrong, it's all about using the method that suits you and we adapt our teaching to each student to complement this.

In small intimate classes, you will be taught, observed and guided by Lauren Holmes, our Middlesbrough Willow Educator. At the end of the day you will be awarded your ABT accredited certificate on successful completion of the practical elements. You will then be ready to perform E-Pedi safely and effectively on your clients.

What are the benefits of an E-Pedi?

It creates a more focused bespoke treatment rather than a generic pedicure that gives an overall pamper of the foot.
It allows you to pinpoint and focus on the reduction of problem areas of the foot
No more vigorous arm actions to get the job done, the exfoliation is created by the revolutions of the E-file and the technology within the specialised E-file bits
No need for water, bowls and messy products creating a hygienically controlled environment
A more comfortable and pleasant experience, not pressure for sensitive clients, no tickling sensations, comfort conscious as the client and tech will work without bending
No need for blades, peels and thousands of products to restock and replenish constantly
Fantastic for fast and comfortable reduction of callused areas and fissures/cracks
