Every nail technician wants to build a business that is profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable. But many techs underestimate how much of a difference the right tools and training can make - not just in the quality of their work, but in their bottom line too.
One of the biggest game-changers? The EFile.
When used correctly (and safely, with accredited training), an EFile can save you time, reduce strain, and allow you to take on more clients without adding extra hours to your week. The result? A potential increase of £800 per month - or £9,600 per year.
Here’s how.
Time is Money in the Nail Industry
Most nail technicians are fully booked for weeks in advance, yet still struggle to increase their income. That’s because your time is your most valuable asset.
Traditional hand-filing methods often add 15-20 minutes per appointment, whether you’re removing product, prepping cuticles, or refining a shape. With an EFile, those same steps are faster, more efficient, and less physically demanding.
If you save just 15 minutes per client:
-
That’s room for 1-2 extra appointments per day.
-
Across a five-day working week, that’s up to 10 extra bookings.
-
At an average service price of £40, that’s up to an extra £400 per week.
Multiply that over a month, and you’re looking at an additional £800-£1,600 of income- without adding more hours to your schedule. But even basing it on £800 a month, thats £9,600 extra a year!
Improved Client Retention = More Revenue
Clients notice when services are quicker, smoother, and more comfortable. An EFile allows for:
-
More precise cuticle prep (which improves retention).
-
Less heat and friction when used correctly.
-
A cleaner, more polished finish.
When your clients experience fewer issues like lifting or premature breakage, they’re more likely to rebook regularly and recommend you to others. Higher retention and referrals directly translate into more income over the year.
Protecting Your Health for Long-Term Earnings
It’s not just about working faster - it’s about working smarter. Hand-filing for hours every day can cause long-term wrist and shoulder strain, which often forces nail techs to reduce their hours or even leave the industry.
Using an EFile significantly reduces the physical pressure on your hands and arms, helping you stay healthier and keep earning consistently. In other words, it’s not just an investment in your income now - it’s an investment in the longevity of your career. AND YOUR HEALTH, which honestly, is invaluable.
Accredited EFile Training Unlocks the Benefits
To truly unlock the income potential of an EFile, training is non-negotiable. Not only is accredited training required to add EFile services to your insurance policy in the UK, but it also ensures you know how to:
-
Use the correct speeds and grits for each service.
-
Work safely around the cuticle without damage.
-
Choose the right EFile bits for removal, refining, or prep.
