Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Russian Manicure different from a traditional manicure?
Traditional manicures soak hands in water and use clippers to cut the cuticle, which can cause micro-tears and uneven regrowth. A Russian manicure is performed 100% dry using high-precision diamond bits to safely polish away dead tissue with millimeter accuracy, promoting healthy nail plate growth.
How long does a Russian Manicure last?
Because the cuticle is cleared and polish is applied closer to the root than traditional methods, clients typically enjoy 3 to 4+ weeks of clean, chip-free wear without noticeable gap margins.
Is the Russian Manicure safe and sterile?
At Uptown Galleria Nails & Spa, client safety is non-negotiable. All metal e-file bits and precision instruments undergo a 3-step decontamination protocol culminating in medical-grade steam autoclave sterilization, sealed in individual surgical indicator pouches opened directly before your service.
