Russian Manicure (Russian Gel): The Art of Flawless Nails
Discover the secret to perfectly polished nails with our Russian Manicure, also known as Russian Gel. This innovative technique focuses on meticulous cuticle work and precise gel application, delivering a long-lasting, salon-perfect look. Popular across Europe and rapidly gaining fans in the U.S., Russian Manicure is all about precision, durability, and beauty.
What is Russian Manicure?
Russian Manicure is a dry manicure technique that uses specialized electric nail drills to achieve a flawlessly clean cuticle line and smooth nail surface. Unlike traditional manicures, which rely on soaking and cutting cuticles, Russian Manicure lifts and removes dead skin with precision drill bits, preventing damage and irritation.
Why is it Called Russian Manicure?
This technique originated in Russia, where nail technicians perfected the art of detailed cuticle work and long-lasting gel applications. The focus is on precision and durability, making it a popular choice for those who want immaculate nails that last.
Russian Manicure vs. Traditional Manicure
1. Cuticle Care
- Russian Manicure: Uses specialized drill bits to gently remove dead skin around the cuticle without cutting or damaging live tissue. This creates a clean, polished look and slows down cuticle regrowth.
- Traditional Manicure: Typically involves soaking the nails and cutting the cuticles with scissors or nippers, which can cause irritation and faster regrowth.
2. Gel Application
- Russian Manicure: Gel polish is applied precisely close to the cuticle, ensuring a flawless look that grows out evenly. This technique prevents chipping and extends the life of the manicure.
- Traditional Manicure: Gel polish is applied with a small gap from the cuticle, leading to visible regrowth sooner.
3. Hygiene and Safety
- Russian Manicure: All tools are thoroughly sterilized using hospital-grade equipment. This includes cleaning, ultrasonic cleansing, and autoclaving to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
- Traditional Manicure: While many salons sanitize tools, the use of shared cutting instruments can pose hygiene risks if not properly sterilized.
Our Sterilization Process
We prioritize your safety by following a strict sanitation protocol:
- Step 1: Cleaning and Disinfection – Tools are cleaned with antibacterial solutions immediately after use.
- Step 2: Ultrasonic Cleaning – This removes any remaining particles and debris.
- Step 3: Autoclave Sterilization – Tools are sterilized using an autoclave, ensuring all bacteria, viruses, and fungi are completely eliminated.
- Disposable Products: We use single-use files and buffers for maximum hygiene.
