    About this course

    Advanced technique —
    refined for professionals

    The Russian Manicure Masterclass is for qualified nail technicians who already work with an e-file and want to take their results to the next level. This isn't a foundation course — it's built around the details that separate good work from exceptional work.

    You'll spend the day refining cuticle technique, mastering the precision and consistency that leads to cleaner results, longer wear and clients who rebook every time. You'll also work on the finishing touches that justify charging more for your service.

    Zoe has trained with leading educators in LA, Canada and across Europe — and brings that international-standard technique directly to this masterclass. Every student leaves with a deeper understanding of why their results look the way they do, and exactly how to improve them.

    Course content

    What you'll cover on the day

    01
    Advanced cuticle theory
    A deep dive into cuticle anatomy, growth patterns and why technique precision at this stage determines everything that follows.
    02
    E-file mastery
    Bit selection, speed, pressure and angle — the exact parameters that create clean cuticle work and eliminate the common mistakes that damage retention.
    03
    Hands-on practice
    Full sets worked on throughout the day with individual feedback at every stage. You practice, refine and practice again — not just observe.
    04
    Premium finishing
    The product application, layering and glass top coat technique that creates the result clients pay a premium price for — and rebook to maintain.
