In this course, you will learn the advanced Russian manicure technique — a skill that will elevate the quality of your work and set you apart in the industry. The combi manicure method combines e-file bits and cutting tools (nippers/scissors) to achieve a perfectly clean and neat cuticle area, creating the ideal canvas for gel or BIAB application. You will master safe, gentle cuticle work, correct bit angles, and precise pressure control to achieve that flawless “Instagram cuticle” look — the kind of result clients are happy to pay more for. DOES NOT INCLUDE BIAB APPLICATION.
