A Russian manicure is a detailed manicure technique that focuses on precise cuticle care and a very clean, polished finish.

Instead of simply pushing back the cuticles, the technician carefully works around the nail using specialized tools to remove excess skin and create a neat, refined appearance. This also allows the polish or gel to be applied closer to the cuticle, which can help the manicure look fresh for longer as your nails grow.

If you’ve never had one before, there’s nothing you need to prepare for. Your technician will explain the process, look at the condition of your natural nails, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout the service.

Many clients choose a Russian manicure because they love the clean, detailed look and the extra attention given to each nail

How long your manicure lasts depends on your natural nails, the product used, and your daily routine. Many clients choose Russian manicures because the detailed cuticle work allows the polish or gel to be applied very precisely, helping the manicure maintain a clean appearance as the nails grow.

Your technician can recommend the best maintenance schedule based on whether you choose gel polish, hard gel, or another service.
