How do I contact Olivia if I have a question during the course?
You can reach us at any time by emailing oliviatripodinails@gmail.com or by filling out the contact form on our website. We are happy to help with any questions you have along the way.
I have never used an e-file before. Is it covered in the course?
Yes, in detail. There is a full E-File Fundamentals module that covers what an e-file is, the different drill bits and their uses, correct technique and grip, speed settings, client safety, hygiene, and common mistakes to avoid. You will feel completely comfortable using one by the time you move into the application tutorials.
Is this course suitable if I just want to do my own nails and not work on clients?
Absolutely. Many students enrol simply to learn how to do their own nails at home and save money on salon visits. The course is just as valuable for personal use as it is for those building a business.
