Hi Shannon,
There are many Vietnamese shops around here that misuse their drills and
clients are getting hurt with them. I figured if I promote hand filing, that
may sway some clients my way. There is one salon near me that uses odorless
liquid and hand files. She is my nearest competitor. She gets a lot of
clients switching from Vietnamese salons because of this. I also get cuticle
lifting when I e-file and I do not when I hand file. I guess I need some more
practice with the drill and the correct bit. I am still learning from my many
mistakes.
Yes I do understand your rebalance explanation, thank you for your advice,
as always, it is greatly appreciated!
Lisa

Subject: NailTech:: Re: Hand filing
HI Lisa,
I hand filed for two years before I got my e-file. I highly recommend the
e-file it is saving my hands. This is a field of severe repetitive motion.
Not only do we do the same thing over and over all day, but we do it with
force so to speak, as we file we put pressure onto the nail to help the file
work. Sounds like you use an e-file now, why are you concidering going to all
hand filing? Also, hand filing takes quite a bit longer timewise to do.
But as for how I did a rebalance, it was easier for me to just file the
whole nail as usual then file the free edge portion of the nail a lot thinner,
and I didn't try to take off all the previous white, just thinned in way down
and rebuilt a new smile line, works great and no need to cut in a smile line
with your file. I hope I explained it well enough.

I am considering going to all hand filing over using an e-file. Does anyone
here do all hand filing, if so, how do you do your rebalance without using a
drill? Also, when you put on primer do you let it dry or do you apply your
product while the primer is still wet? I have a TT video and she put on 2
coats of primer. She lets the first one dry, then does a second coat, but
applies the product while the 2nd coat is still wet. What is the best way?
Thanks!
