Dry Pedicure FiDi
Russian Pedicure in FiDi, NYC
Russian Pedicure is a dry e-file pedicure with focus on detailed cuticle cleaning, precise toenail prep, dry heel smoothing, and a clean natural or gel finish.
Waterless Pedicure: What is it?
In a wet pedicure, your feet soak first. For our Russian pedicure, we keep the service dry so your technician can see the real texture of your skin, nails, and heels before smoothing begins. That makes cuticle work, nail prep, and heel care more precise.
Your appointment stays waterless and does not rely on a shared foot bath.
Dry prep keeps the cuticle area and nail plate visible during e-file work.
Your technician smooths dry heel texture for a softer, more even cosmetic finish.
We sterilize metal tools in sealed pouches and use single-use abrasives for each client.

Russian Pedicure vs Regular Pedicure
A regular pedicure includes a foot soak with softening products. A Russian pedicure stays dry. Your technician cleans the cuticle area with e-file work, preps the nail plate, and smooths rough heel texture while the skin is still easy to read.
On our booking menu, this service may be listed as Dry Pedicure or Gel Pedicure. At Mars Nails, both options include dry prep, detailed toenail and cuticle care, smoother feet, sterilized tools, and your choice of gel color or a natural finish.
Heel Cleaning and Cosmetic Callus Removal
Dry heel care is included in our pedicure service to create a smoother, cleaner-looking cosmetic finish without soaking the feet first.
Detailed Foot Cleaning
Our dry pedicure includes detailed foot cleaning for rough, dry skin. Working without soaking keeps dry patches, hardened surface buildup, and uneven heel texture visible while the technician smooths the area gradually.
Cosmetic Callus Removal
Controlled cosmetic callus removal helps reduce visible surface buildup while preserving healthy skin. This is cosmetic foot care, not treatment for painful corns, infections, bleeding cracks, or other medical foot conditions.

FAQ: Russian Pedicure
- Can I add nail designs to a pedicure?
- Yes. Classic designs such as French, chrome, cat eye, stamping, and simple nail art can usually be added to a pedicure. Pedicure designs are charged at 50% of the manicure design price.
- Does this pedicure help with rough heels and callus buildup?
- Yes. Our dry pedicure includes heel smoothing for rough heels, dry patches, cracked-looking areas, and callus buildup. This is cosmetic foot care, not medical treatment.
- How often should I book a dry pedicure?
- Plan on every 4 to 6 weeks. Come in sooner if your heels get dry fast, your toenails grow quickly, you travel a lot, or your gel polish starts looking grown out.
