Can't find the course date that suits you? Then email your educator [email protected] Are you ready to become an E-Pedi Expert? During this one day course, we will go through all the stages of a successful E-Pedi, including: theory, consultation, area set up, correct pedicure procedure and follow up steps. Here at Willow, we are advocates for the "Willow Way" this means working "Your Way". If you wish to solely use E-file for prep, we have got you covered. If you would like to use a combination of E-file prep and traditional methods, then we are here to support you every step of the way. There is no right or wrong, it's all about using the method that suits you and we adapt our teaching to each student to complement this. In small intimate classes, you will be taught, observed and guided by Kirsty Parker, our Devon & Cornwall Willow Educator. At the end of the day you will be awarded your ABT accredited certificate on successful completion of the practical elements. You will then be ready to perform E-Pedi safely and effectively on your clients. What are the benefits of an E-Pedi?
