Hi guys, I am for the most part only a hand filer, although I do use it for refining any small lumps or bumps although I never use it around the cutical area, and I have used this as a Promotional tool for my own salon since I opened it and have now only to advertise by word of mouth due to this technique. We have a dangerous amount of fungal infection and mould infection getting around due to efile abuse. Quite frankly my clients have become scared of the asian filing techniqes and now often refuse the use of the efile. Sorry if I am late to this thread as I have been offline for awhile.

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!

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. Shannon A. Lisa Cianciotti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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!
