Gel Polish Dry Removal & Cuticle Work Upskill Online Course
Welcome to the Willow Gel Polish Dry Removal & Cuticle Work Upskill Course - a practical online workshop designed for e-file qualified nail technicians who want to confidently perform dry gel polish removal using the e-file, alongside precise cuticle work and natural nail preparation.
This course is ideal for technicians who primarily offer gel polish services on the natural nail using a standard base coat without overlays, or for those who want to add safe and efficient gel polish removal to their existing skill set.
Throughout this course, you’ll learn the dry removal method, meaning gel polish is removed using the e-file rather than soaking with acetone. Alongside removal techniques, we also focus on cuticle work, natural nail preparation, and understanding the tools and techniques required to perform a clean, professional service.
This course does not cover infills, product lifting removal, debulking, or length reduction, and is therefore not suitable for BIAB or builder gel services.
This isn’t just about learning the technique - it’s about understanding the why behind e-filing, from choosing high-quality e-file bits to understanding machine performance, hygiene standards, and safe working practices.
You will cover:
This is a self-paced, fuss-free course, allowing you to learn at a time that suits you and revisit any section whenever you need. The course will be live for a duration of 6 months.
The Willow Educator Team will also be available should you need support or guidance during your learning.
Upon completion, you’ll receive your Willow Certificate of Completion, recognising your commitment to maintaining safe, skilled, and professional e-file techniques.
This course is designed as an upskill and refresher workshop, and therefore is not accredited. Please note that refresher courses do not require accreditation for insurance purposes when you already hold an accredited e-file qualification.
