Gel-X, Builder Gel & E-File Training in East Providence, RI

Master the industry’s most in-demand techniques right here in Riverside. While traditional beauty schools cover the basics, my specialized workshops in East Providence, RI are designed to bridge the gap between licensing and salon success.

Whether you are a new grad or a working tech looking to upskill, I provide hands-on, intimate training in:

  • Aprés Gel-Xâ„¢ Systems
  • Builder Gel & Structural Manicures
  • Hard Gel Application
  • E-File Precision & Safety

Hands-On Workshops in Riverside

Forget the rushed, high-volume classroom experience. I keep every class small to ensure you get the one-on-one coaching necessary to master these advanced mediums.

Located conveniently in the Riverside section of East Providence, my studio is easily accessible for techs coming from Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket, Warwick, or anywhere in Rhode Island. You will leave with stronger technique, better product control, and the confidence to raise your prices.

What You Will Learn

  • Gel-X Mastery: Learn the correct application for retention, sizing, and troubleshooting the popular soft gel extension system.
  • Structural Gels (Builder & Hard Gel): Understand the chemistry and architecture required to create durable, long-lasting overlays and extensions.
  • E-File Safety: Learn to reduce service time and prep cuticles safely without damaging the natural nail plate.

On-Site Gel-X Training for Salons (RI, MA, CT)

Looking to certify your whole staff? Bring the education to you. I provide private, on-site training for salons throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Instead of closing your shop to travel, I come to your business with a customized curriculum tailored to your specific service menu. This cuts down on travel costs and ensures your entire team is consistent in their application.

  • Customized Training: Focus on Gel-X, E-File, or specific gel systems.
  • Convenience: We train in your space, using your setup.
  • Note: A travel fee based on mileage and drive time applies for on-site visits.
