Why E-FILE (DRY / Russian) Manicures Are the Gold Standard for Nail Health?
E-file manicure, also known as Russian manicure — is a precise, waterless technique where the cuticle is cleaned and prepared using a gentle electric file.
Because the skin is treated dry and not soaked in water, the nail plate stays firm, allowing the gel to be applied tight to the cuticle for a cleaner look and superior retention.
This method creates a smooth, seamless surface and helps your manicure last 3–4 weeks without chipping or lifting.
E-file manicures are ideal for clients who want long-lasting, detailed, and clean results.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes . When performed by trained artists, Russian manicure techniques protect the nail plate and improve long term nail health.
-
Russian manicures can last 3-6 weeks due to clean cuticle prep and structured gel application.
-
Even though our Russian manicures and gel products last a long time, we recommend returning every 3–4 weeks. This keeps your nails healthy, maintains proper structure, and prevents overgrown cuticles from lifting the product. Regular maintenance ensures your nails stay clean, strong, and beautifully shaped between appointments.
-
No. Damage occurs only from improper removal. We use gentle, protective removal methods.
-
Hard gel creates a stronger, more structured layer that adds durability and support to your natural nails. It’s ideal if you want extra strength, extensions, or longer retention.
Regular gel (soft gel) is thinner, more flexible, and perfect for clients who prefer a natural feel without added structure. It gives beautiful shine and long wear, but won’t reinforce the nail the same way hard gel does.Both are safe when applied and removed properly — your artist will help you choose the best option based on your nail type and desired look
-
Yes. From minimal designs to 3D, chrome, fine-line art, Y2K, and character styles. We also offer an Omakase Freestyle option with an expert artist for fully custom, one-of-a-kind designs created just for you.
-
A Smart Dry Pedicure is a waterless pedicure that focuses on precise cuticle work, callus care, and nail health. Instead of soaking, we use professional tools and softening solutions to clean, prep, and perfect the feet in a controlled, hygienic way.
-
Dry pedicures allow for more precision, better cuticle detailing, and safer results, especially for clients with sensitive skin or prone to calluses. Without water, the skin doesn’t expand, so the work is cleaner and longer lasting.
-
Smart Dry methods are considered safer and more hygienic because there is no soaking, no shared water, and no risk of over-softening the skin. Everything is sanitized and performed with professional tools.
-
Most clients see results lasting 4–6 weeks, depending on their lifestyle, shoe habits, and overall foot care. The clean cuticle work and precise shaping help it stay fresh longer than a traditional wet pedicure.
-
Absolutely. Gel polish, French, chrome, or complex nail art can be added to your Smart Dry Pedicure for a unique, aesthetic look.
Nails
-
Lash extensions typically last 3–4 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare. We recommend regular fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain full, even results.
-
Yes. When applied correctly, lash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. Our artists use safe, lightweight materials and customize each set to protect your lash health.
-
We specialize in natural, soft, and clean lash styles, as well as classic, hybrid, light volume, and Y-style designs. Every set is customized to your eye shape, lash strength, and desired look.
-
Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. Avoid mascara, oils, waterproof products, and curlers at least 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Avoid water, steam, and heat for the first 24 hours. Clean your lashes regularly with a lash-safe cleanser, avoid oils around the eyes, and avoid pulling or rubbing your lashes.
-
You can wear makeup, but avoid mascara and oil-based products around the eye area. Use only water-based makeup and cleansers to prevent premature shedding.
-
Classic: One extension per natural lash — clean, natural look.
Hybrid: Mix of classic + light volume fans — fuller but still soft.
Volume: Lightweight fans for a fluffier, fuller style.
