How is a Russian manicure different from a regular manicure?
A Russian manicure is a dry technique that focuses on deep cuticle cleaning using an electric file, which gives a very clean and polished look. Unlike a regular manicure that uses water and basic tools, the Russian method is more detailed, lasts longer, and creates a flawless finish—perfect for a neat, long-lasting result.
Is the Russian manicure safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, a Russian manicure is completely safe. It uses specialized tools and techniques to gently clean the cuticle area without water, reducing the risk of infection. All tools are properly sanitized to ensure a clean and safe experience.
Is this service good for people with sensitive skin or thin nails?
Yes, the Russian manicure can be a good option for people with sensitive skin or thin nails because it’s a dry technique and doesn’t involve soaking, which can weaken the nails. A skilled technician will adjust the tools and pressure to suit your nail type and ensure a gentle, customized experience.
Does a Russian manicure hurt?
No, a Russian manicure should not hurt. It’s a gentle, detailed process done with precision tools. You may feel a light sensation as the cuticle is cleaned, but it shouldn’t be uncomfortable. If you ever feel any pain, your technician will adjust the pressure to keep you comfortable.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
To prepare for your appointment, come with clean hands or feet and avoid applying any oils or lotions beforehand. If you have old gel or polish, let your technician know in advance so they can allow time for removal. Try not to trim your cuticles or nails before your visit—your technician will take care of everything for the best results.
How often should I come in for maintenance?
Most clients come in every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance. This helps keep your nails healthy, your cuticles clean, and your manicure or pedicure looking fresh. Regular visits also help prevent lifting or chipping, especially if you’re wearing gel or extensions.
Is this technique good for people who bite their nails or have damaged nails?
Yes, the Russian manicure technique can be very helpful for people who bite their nails or have damaged nails. It gently cleans and shapes the nail area, promotes healthy growth, and can be combined with strengthening treatments or extensions to protect and improve the appearance of your natural nails over time.
