Russian Mani FAQs
1. What is a Russian manicure?
A Russian manicure is an advanced detailing technique that focuses on enhanced cuticle care. It uses e-file tools to gently lift and exfoliate non-living cuticle tissue for a more refined look.
Note: It is not a guarantee of “perfect” or “zero cuticle” nails — results vary based on your natural nail anatomy.
2. How quickly will my cuticles grow back?
Visible regrowth may appear within a few days, depending on: your personal nail growth rate, skin biology, hydration, and lifestyle.
3. Is mild redness or sensitivity normal?
Yes. Some clients experience mild redness, tightness, or sensitivity for 1–2 days after service. Especially if this is your first Russian mani/pedi or you have sensitive skin. This is a normal skin response to exfoliation and detailing — similar to the way facial exfoliation may cause temporary pinkness.
4. Will my nails look exactly like the pictures I see on the internet?
