What makes a Russian manicure different
A standard manicure softens the skin in water and trims the cuticle with nippers. A Russian manicure is done completely dry: your technician uses a precision e-file with fine bits to lift and remove only the dead cuticle tissue sitting on the nail plate, exposing a few extra millimetres of natural nail.
That extra surface is why the result looks so clean and why polish holds. Color is applied right up to the nail fold instead of stopping short, so there's no visible growth gap for the first couple of weeks — most guests stretch to three or four weeks between appointments.
- Polish applied edge-to-edge for a seamless, gapless finish
- 3–4 weeks of wear with gel, versus roughly 2 with a standard set
- No soaking, no nippers on living skin, no lifting at the base
- Ideal for short nails, weak nails, and anyone who hates regrowth lines

Russian manicure questions, answered
What is a Russian manicure?+
A Russian manicure is a dry manicure technique that uses a precision e-file instead of soaking and clipping. The cuticle area is cleaned right up to the nail fold, so polish sits closer to the skin, looks cleaner, and lasts noticeably longer.
How much is a Russian manicure in Brooklyn?+
A Russian manicure is $45 at Cobble Hill Nail Spa on Court St. Adding gel color or pairing it with a classic pedicure ($35) is the most common way our guests book it. New guests get 10% off their first visit.
How long does a Russian manicure last?+
Most guests get 3–4 weeks from a Russian manicure with gel, compared to about 2 weeks from a standard gel manicure, because the cuticle work lets the product seal fully against the nail plate.
Is a Russian manicure safe?+
Yes, when performed by a trained technician with sanitized equipment. We use fresh, disposable bits and files for every guest, work dry to avoid softening the skin, and never cut living tissue.
How long does the appointment take?+
Plan for about 60 minutes for a Russian manicure, or 90 minutes if you add a pedicure. Booking online reserves your technician and your color in advance.
