FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What makes a Russian manicure different from a regular manicure?
A Russian manicure uses a precise, cuticle-free dry manicure technique with an electric file instead of soaking your hands in water. It removes dead skin more thoroughly, keeps the nail bed cleaner, and helps gel nails last longer without lifting.
How long do gel nails typically last with this method?
Gel nails applied using the Russian manicure technique commonly hold up for three to four weeks with minimal chipping or lifting, since the cuticle work leaves a cleaner surface for the gel to bond to.
Is the dry, cuticle-free method safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Our technicians are trained in the European manicure technique and use sanitized tools with a gentle, controlled approach, which many clients with sensitive cuticles find more comfortable than traditional soaking methods.
Do you offer walk-ins or is an appointment required?
We recommend calling ahead at 917-695-2430 to reserve a time, especially for gel nails, nail art, or extensions, but walk-ins are welcome whenever a technician is available.
What nail services do you offer besides Russian manicures?
Alongside our signature Russian manicure and gel nails, we offer gel pedicures, acrylics, nail extensions, shellac, French manicures, and custom nail art designs.
