QUESTIONS ANSWERED

About Our Services

What is a Russian manicure?

A Russian manicure is a detailed cuticle service performed using a dry technique and precision e-file work, followed by a precise scissor trim. It creates a cleaner finish around the cuticle area and allows product to be applied extremely close to the cuticle for a seamless grow-out.

Do you work on natural nails only?

Our core focus is natural nail health. We do offer structured services like overlays and custom-built extensions, but we do not offer acrylic sets.

Do you do acrylic?

No. We specialize in natural nail care, Russian treatments, overlays, hard gel services, and hyper-realistic gel extensions.

What is the difference between a gel manicure and a hard gel application?

A gel manicure focuses on cuticle work, shaping, and gel color. A hard gel application includes a structured overlay for added strength and support, especially for nails that need reinforcement.

What is an overlay?

An overlay is a strengthening layer applied directly over your natural nail to add structure and durability without adding length.

Do you offer extensions?

Yes. We offer custom-built, hyper-realistic gel extensions designed to look like natural nails.

What is the difference between a nail repair and a reconstruction/extension?

A nail repair fixes a minor chip, crack, or small break without adding length. A reconstruction/extension rebuilds a severely broken nail and may add length to match the rest of your nails.

Can I book just a color change?

Yes. You can book a gel color change for hands or feet. This service is a color refresh only and does not include Russian cuticle detailing or detailed nail prep. For full cuticle work, shaping, and maximum wear, book a Russian manicure or Russian pedicure.

Do you offer matte, chrome, ombré, French, and nail art?

Yes. We offer a variety of upgrades including chrome, velvet, ombré, classic French lines, stamping, and specialty gel effects. Options may vary by appointment type.

Why do your services take longer than most salons?

We are a detail-focused studio. Russian technique cuticle work, structure, and a flawless finish take time. We work carefully, not quickly.

How long will my results last?

Most guests enjoy long-lasting wear, but longevity depends on nail condition, lifestyle, and home care. We will recommend the best service option for your nails at your appointment.

Length, Structure and Booking

What lengths do you offer for hard gel services and extensions?

We offer Short and Medium options.

Short is up to 3 mm past the fingertip.

Medium is over 3 mm up to 8 mm past the fingertip.

Length is confirmed at the start of the appointment.

I have long natural nails. Which service should I book?

If your natural nails have more than 3 mm of free edge, you will need a Hard Gel Application for proper structure and support.

What if I’m not sure what service to book?

Book the service closest to what you want, and we will confirm length, nail condition, and the correct service at the start of your appointment.

Do you work on children?

Yes, we offer Kids Russian Manicure and Kids Russian Pedicure for ages 11 and under. No enhancements are performed on children.

What should I do before my appointment?

Arrive on time, avoid applying cuticle oil right before your visit, and let us know if you have any issues with your nails (cracks, lifting, recent breaks) so we can plan properly.

Do I need to bring anything?

No. Just bring yourself. If you have inspiration photos, please send them ahead of time, so we're prepared for your appointment.
