The Truth Revealed: What You Need to Know About E-File Manicure Regulation in Texas
Hi everyone, I'm Long Nguyen, a licensed nail professional with over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry. Today, I want to clear up some of the confusion and misinformation circulating online about the legality of e-file manicures, also sometimes called Russian manicures, here in Texas.
I take my profession seriously, and I always make sure I stay compliant with state regulations. To ensure I provide accurate information, I've done my due diligence by reaching out to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) directly. I spoke with a live representative at TDLR, and I also consulted with my legal team to verify my understanding of the regulations.
Here's what I can confidently say: TDLR does not prohibit any type of manicure service, including e-file manicures, as long as the tools and techniques comply with their health and safety standards.
This means that licensed nail technicians in Texas can use tools specifically designed for the nail industry, including diamond e-bits, as long as we follow proper cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocols. These steps are required for compliance and client safety, and they apply to all tools we use—whether manual or electric.
Now, I also want to acknowledge something important: These sharp tools can cause damage if they are used improperly or without the correct training. That's why professional education and proper technique are key.
I truly believe that as professionals, when we know better, we do better. If anyone has official documentation that states Texas prohibits nail technicians from offering e-file manicures using diamond bits, I would love to review it. Let's make this an open discussion so we can all continue to learn and grow together as an industry.
At the end of the day, our goal is to provide safe, high-quality services to our clients while staying fully compliant with the law. If you're a nail professional, always make sure you educate yourself, invest in quality tools, and continue to refine your skills.

The Legality of E-File Manicures in Texas
As I mentioned, I reached out to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to get the facts straight on the legality of e-file manicures in our state. After speaking with a representative and reviewing the regulations, I can confidently say that TDLR does not prohibit the use of electric files or any specific manicure techniques, as long as nail technicians follow proper health and safety protocols.
The key is that all tools and techniques used must comply with TDLR's standards for cleanliness, disinfection, and sterilization. This applies to manual tools as well as electric files and bits. As long as we're following the rules, we're in the clear to offer a wide range of manicure services to our clients.
Proper Technique and Training are Essential
While e-file manicures are legal in Texas, it's important to note that these tools can cause serious damage if they're not used properly. That's why ongoing education and honing our skills as nail professionals is so crucial.
When using an electric file, we have to be extremely careful and precise in our movements. Improper technique can lead to over-filing, damage to the natural nail, and even injury to the client. That's why I always recommend that nail techs invest in high-quality training, whether it's through hands-on classes, online courses, or one-on-one mentorship.
The more we educate ourselves and refine our skills, the better we'll be able to provide safe, effective e-file manicures that leave our clients thrilled. It's all about striking the right balance between leveraging the power of technology and maintaining the utmost care and attention to detail.
Prioritizing Client Safety
At the end of the day, client safety has to be our top priority as nail professionals. That means not only following the letter of the law, but also going above and beyond to ensure we're using the best practices and tools for the job.
When it comes to e-file manicures, that means investing in high-quality, industry-approved electric files and bits. It means taking the time to properly clean, disinfect, and sterilize our tools before each use. And it means continuously honing our technique to minimize any risk of damage or injury.
I know that as nail techs, we all want to provide the best possible experience for our clients. But we can't do that at the expense of their safety and wellbeing. By staying up-to-date on regulations, prioritizing training, and always putting client care first, we can elevate the industry and build a reputation for excellence.
Elevating the Nail Industry Together
I'm so passionate about this topic because I truly believe that nail professionals have the power to transform the industry. By staying informed, investing in our skills, and advocating for best practices, we can raise the bar for safety, quality, and professionalism.
E-file manicures are just one example of a service that's often misunderstood or shrouded in misinformation. But when we come together as a community and commit to doing things the right way, we can dispel the myths and showcase the incredible artistry and expertise that nail techs bring to the table.
I encourage all of my fellow nail professionals to join me in this mission. Let's continue to educate ourselves, support one another, and speak up for the integrity of our industry. When we work together, there's no limit to what we can achieve.
So let's get out there and show the world what we're made of. The future of nails is bright, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish next.
