Russian manicure
A precise, dry manicure that uses a fine electric file to clean the cuticle area for a crisp, polished look that grows out beautifully.
Available at Wicker Park, West Loop and South Loop.
What is a Russian manicure?
A Russian manicure is a dry technique. Instead of soaking and nipping, your technician uses a small electric file to gently lift and refine the cuticle area.
The result is clean, even cuticles and color applied very close to the nail edge, so your manicure looks fresh for longer as it grows.
Finish with classic polish or gel. Our technicians are trained in this technique at every Saltmara salon.
