I love my ultrasonic cleansing machine, it saves me so much time and always use the willow disinfectant to make sure my e file bits and tools are hygienically clean.

Lauren M.Verified
Best purchase I’ve made. I absolutely love the pause. It’s so easy to use and I love the pause feature. The display is nice and clear and it’s got enough torque for what I need (builder and gel polish). I love this e-file!

I am so happy to have received my pass certificate for the E File course today at Sawbridgeworth, Essex. Ella is such a lovely lady who puts you at ease straight away. She explains everything along with showing videos. Ella is happy to take questions throughout and give practical help. Nothing is too much trouble, her interest in her students is evident. Thank you, Ella. Sacha x

Wow – what a mind-blowing course! Beth was absolutely amazing at teaching the E-Pedi side of things. As someone already familiar with e-file use, I was still blown away by how clearly and patiently she explained every single step. She took her time going over each part of the theory in such a detailed way – nothing was rushed, and no question was left unanswered. Her approach made it so easy to understand, especially for anyone new to E-Pedis. You can tell she’s genuinely passionate about what s...

Wonderful experience to start my nail journey. The first time doing a nail course and there was a lot to learn but the day is very structured and has ample time for the practical parts. Ella was so professional, knowledgeable and happy to go over anything also answer any questions at anytime in the course and after. Such a brilliant course and Ella was amazing! Thank you :)

I have a great day at Josie & Co completing the efile course 😁 After not using an Efile for over 15 years, I was very nervous but Josie as always was lovely and explained everything and instantly made me feel at ease. She provided feedback and offer advice to try different ways I could try when I was struggling and tried her best to show me as I'm a lefty 🙃 I highly recommend Josie as she is amazing at what she does and is a brilliant teacher! Thank you Josie xx

Can’t believe the difference between this efile and another brand I had. Hardly any vibration, feels so much smoother and after using all day I don’t get the ache on my hand I use to. So worth the investment! I also love that It can charge whilst using, another perk my previous efile couldn’t do! Thank you for a brilliant product willow.

Tabitha W.Verified
This Extractor is amazing, I no longer get covered in nail dust! All the dust particles are sucked up and away, some heavier dust is left on my gloves however when I’m done I brush off my hands under the extracter and all the remaining dust is gone, l use use less coach roll and less time dusting/wiping down surfaces/ bottles at the end of the day 😁 With the added light my desk is less cramped gives me space, love clear spaces! The light is really bright and is great for detailed work

I’ve been shopping with Willow for a few years now! & I love working with their products. This Cuticle clipper has been a great addition to my travel kit. Especially as it locks, which is a big plus for me.

I had a lovely time today at Josie & co for the ultimate Efile course❤️ I was a little nervous at first as the Efile isnt something I have used for many years. Josie was a fantastic educator & was thorough & on hand the whole day. The setting was perfect for a super friendly & calming atmosphere. I didnt feel any pressure or rush to understand or grasp anything the first time. Thank you for a lovely experience xxx

I had the best time on the ultimate efile course at Josie & Co. I mainly went to refresh my skills, the willow way & to work on cuticle work as it’s an area that made me quite nervous to work on with an efile. Josie was fabulous as my educator and made me feel confident and comfortable using the efile. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure there was no silly question. Thankyou for your time Josie and such a great experience on the course. X

Ella was absolutely brilliant. The classes are really intimate so you get a lot of support, troubleshooting etc. The theory was so detailed and makes you considerably more confident in the how and why. This course, Willow and Ella are breaking the boundaries and stigma of your high street salon. Instead creating knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable specialists that focus on the health of their client’s nails! Will be doing more of these courses.

I have completed three courses with Vanessa now and every one has been amazing. Vanessa is very knowledgable and has lots of helpful trips and tricks which have helped me a lot. Her home salon is lovely to work in too! The ultimate E-File course was brilliant and has given me a good balance of knowledge and practical experience to get started. It’s also made me feel confident in what I’m doing. Lots of great resources to look back at too, would definitely recommend. :)

This is the second time I have purchased these. I love how easy to use and peel off. My clients love them and comment and how they feel the treatment is cleaner than other salons due to the single use files/buffers etc

I did my e-file training with Vanessa and would highly recommend her for any future training or to anyone looking at doing the e-file course. She was very informative and knew exactly what she was talking about and was happy to help anytime I was unsure or stuck . I very stupidly forgot my lunch and she even gave me food from her own home , at no point did I feel judged or silly , overall it was just a lovely experience , I am now a confident e-file user .

Two weeks ago I attended the beginners gel polish course and yesterday I went to the natural nail e-file course. Both were delivered by Ella and she is just so lovely. She made me feel very welcomed on both courses and I was comfortable in asking lots of questions. I left feeling confident in using my e-file. I cannot wait to practice and try out what I have learned. I enjoyed getting to try lots of other e-file bits from the Willow range that did not come in my starter kit. I went home and plac...

I visited Vanessa about a month ago and did the E-Pedi course. I have been to Vanessa before for the Willow Ultimate E-File course and knew I’d be straight back to learn more things Willow. Shes very up to date with her knowledge and is very helpful with any questions you may have. I can’t recommend her enough!

I did the E-Pedi course with Vanessa on 26/07/2025 and I really enjoyed it. I’d been following her on instagram for some time and felt her teaching style would suit me. She’s really knowledgeable and teaches at your pace. I left feeling supported and confident to carry out this treatment and add to my current offerings. I’ll definitely be doing some more of her courses in the future. Thanks Vanessa ☺️

I had a great time today learning from Ella, the training was well thought out with great tools, and anytime we had any questions she thoroughly answered them. You can tell she loves what she does, she was enthusiastic for the whole 8 hours, which is needed as it made the time go by faster. Would recommend!

First of all, Beth is so lovely and bubbly and just puts you at ease the moment you step foot into her salon! The ultimate E-File course was such a good course to do, if you’re thinking of doing any E/file courses do this one! I have previously done another brands course which was online and found Willows course to be much more in depth and thorough with everything! There was information in the pre theory course that I didn’t even know, and so much more in the actually day E-file training, I fee...

I booked onto the Gel Polish course with Rosemarie at the beginning of January. As soon as I arrived, I felt welcomed by Rosemarie, comfortable in her beautiful Salon and excited for the day ahead. The day flew by, it was so detailed and she answered any questions I had alone the way. She’s fantastic at what she does and is a great educator! I left full of confidence and excited to start my own journey, she then continued to provide me with support and information after the course. I’ve since al...

I had a great day with Josie on the ultimate e file course. She was really friendly and approachable answering any questions I had. She showed us all different types of bits which can be used in the efile and how they all work. The salon was a really nice setting too. Warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend Josie for this course.

Exceptional Learning Experience – Highly Recommend! I recently attended *The Ultimate E-file Course* in Cambridgeshire, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, the atmosphere was incredibly positive and welcoming. Ella, our educator, was simply amazing—her knowledge, patience, and dedication made all the difference. Despite having five students in the class, she ensured that each of us received individual attention, explaining every detail with clarity and precision. Ella’s t...

I drove over an hour and a half on the day of my course to get to Els Gels. Oh my goodness it was soooooooo worth it. I learned so much and Elle was just so lovely. So knowledgeable.

I completed the e-pedicure course with Vanessa on 26/04/2025 and I can’t sing her praises enough. I have done multiple courses with Vanessa and she never fails to deliver. She is so in depth with her education and no question is ever too much. As well as being a fantastic educator she is so friendly and very knowledgeable.

Had the pleasure of being trained by Vanessa today. I feel confident in my knowledge of E-files now & can happily say I’m not scared to use one anymore. I’m left handed & Vanessa was amazing at making sure to teach me the correct way for me to use my E-file in my left hand. I would 100% recommend this course & Vanessa if your Hampshire area!

I trained with Rosemarie on the Gel beginners course and learned so much. The information was really independent and covered everything from preparation to tips and tricks. Rosemarie was extremely professional and friendly and taught in a way that made it easy to learn and digest information. I'll 100% be booking more courses and would recommend this course to anyone starting out or wanting to improve their technique.

Thoroughly enjoyed my efile course with Josie. I’d never touched an efile before and felt absolutely fine to go straight in with clients this week and use one after the course and using the machine most of the day. All the info you need is in the training manual which is really handy as you can take it away and look back on it. The videos Included in the day were fab and always help me to see what you’re meant to be doing, it helps me to watch videos over reading info. Lovely clean salon to trai...
