What is a Russian Manicure?

A Russian mani is a meticulous e-file technique focusing on the cuticle area, removing dead skin, shaping the nails, and machine polishing. Our nail technicians create perfect nails with a long-lasting finish and promote healthy nail growth.

What’s the difference between a Russian and a regular manicure?

Unlike regular manicures, a Russian manicure uses an electric file to precisely clean and contour the cuticle and nail. This technique delivers a smoother, longer-lasting result and a healthier nail bed, while traditional manicures use hand tools and often skip detailed cuticle work.

What is a Russian Pedicure?

It is a dry, machine-based foot treatment that removes cuticles, smooths calluses, and finishes with gel or builder products for a durable, hygienic result. This approach avoids soaking, which lowers infection risks and improves precision.

How long do Builder Gel Nails last?

Builder Gel Nails typically last up to 4 weeks, depending on your lifestyle and nail care routine. Builder gel creates a strong overlay, making it ideal for those who want extra durability, especially for weak or brittle nails.
