A Russian manicure stands out for its precision, using an electric file to expertly clean the cuticle area. Unlike regular manicures, which involve soaking and trimming, this method leaves a flawless, super-clean finish. The detailed cuticle work allows for a perfectly smooth polish application that lasts longer and looks sharper. When performed by a skilled technician, it’s not only safe but also a luxurious, top-tier service that prioritizes precision and a long-lasting, polished appearance.

Gel-X is a soft gel nail extension method using pre-formed tips that are applied directly to the natural nail, providing a lightweight and flexible alternative to traditional extensions. Russian Manicure is a precise nail preparation technique using an electric drill to meticulously clean and shape cuticles, focusing on creating an extremely clean and hygienic nail base before any polish or enhancement. Gel Overlay is a thin layer of gel applied over natural nails to protect, strengthen, and add shine without extending nail length, making it ideal for those wanting to enhance their existing nails without significant modification.

Gel overlays can be applied with or without a Russian manicure. A standard manicure will still give you the strength and shine of gel overlays but with a more traditional prep process. While a Russian manicure provides detailed cuticle care for a flawless, long-lasting finish, you can absolutely enjoy durable, beautiful gel overlays with a standard technique if you're more comfortable with that approach. Both options result in gorgeous nails, tailored to your preference!

Gel overlays offer versatility, strength, and a natural look without the bulk of dip or acrylics. I love using gel because it's customizable to fit each client's needs—whether you have thin, delicate nails, long healthy nails, or struggle with constant breakage. With so many different types of gel available, there's a solution for every nail type. Gel provides a lighter, more flexible finish that moves with your natural nails, reducing cracks while keeping them glossy and strong for longer-lasting beauty.

Your bridal nails will live on in photos, videos, and memories forever, so they need to be perfect. That’s why I always recommend a trial run to discover your aesthetic and create a realistic plan to achieve your nail goals. Whether you want something classic, bold, or intricate, we’ll work together to find the best design and technique for your big day. Achieving perfection takes a little planning, and I’m here to make sure your nails are stunning and picture-ready!

All of my services, no matter the tier, are designed to last—nails popping off is something I simply won’t tolerate. Whether you have thin, “difficult” nails or naturally strong ones, I customize each set using the perfect gel for your needs. My techniques ensure your nails will last 3 to 6 weeks, with 4 weeks being the sweet spot for a fresh look. If something goes wrong, I’ll investigate and find a solution that works for your specific nails. Expect durability and beauty with every visit!

When you come in for your appointment, expect a one-on-one experience in a private, relaxed environment. Here’s how to prepare:

Avoid using any oils or lotions for 24 hours before your appointment.

Wear comfy clothes to feel relaxed.

Feel free to bring snacks!

You’re welcome to take work calls, but please note you’ll need to be available and attentive during your manicure service.

Appointment times can vary depending on the service, but generally expect around 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the service(s). Nail art or more detailed work might take a little longer, but trust me, it’s worth every minute!

While I love your support squad, my appointments are one-on-one to ensure I can fully focus on you. It's a private space meant for relaxation and precision, so please come solo to fully enjoy the experience.
