Russian Pedicure: What Is It?

A Russian pedicure is a precision dry-e-file technique. Instead of soaking, our technician gently cleans excess cuticle, shapes the nail and applies gel “under the cuticle” for an ultra-neat, chip-resistant finish. Skipping water eliminates infection risks, prevents swelling and lets us work meticulously around nail folds.

  • Longer-lasting results: gel + dry prep keep your pedi flawless for 4 weeks.
  • High precision: perfect for French tips, chrome effects or detailed nail art.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pedicure cost in NYC?

At Mars Nails, a classic dry pedicure starts at $100, and a gel pedicure starts at $120. Our pricing reflects the advanced level of care we provide: all tools are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave, we use single-use files and buffers, and our entire process is performed as a dry pedicure — no soaking, for maximum hygiene and safety. We include professional e-file heel and cuticle cleaning, so your feet look and feel flawless with every visit.

What’s the difference between an E-File pedicure and a regular pedicure?

A Russian pedicure uses a dry e-file technique for precise cuticle and nail prep, giving longer-lasting, cleaner results. A regular pedicure typically involves soaking and basic cuticle trimming, but may not deliver the same finish or longevity.

Is a dry pedicure better for your feet?

Yes! A dry pedicure (without soaking) minimizes infection risk, avoids excess skin softening, and allows for ultra-precise cuticle care. It’s ideal for sensitive or problem-prone feet.

Can I get nail art or French tips with a gel pedicure?

Absolutely! Our gel pedicure service includes custom Nail Art, French tips, chrome, or classic solid colors — just ask your technician during your visit.

Do you offer pedicure services for gentlemen?

Absolutely! We welcome gentlemen and offer expert pedicure treatments for men, including nail care, cuticle cleaning, heel exfoliation, and gel or classic polish options. Our private studio environment and professional team ensure comfort and outstanding results for every client, regardless of gender.

Is it safe to get a pedicure if I have sensitive skin or allergies?

Yes, we use hypoallergenic, high-quality products and adapt our technique for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Please inform your technician before your appointment for extra care.
