Best Russian Manicures near me in Point Cook, Melbourne

The cuticle protects the nail root, which is why the American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend pushing or cutting cuticles. Doing so makes it easier for bacteria to infect your nails and skin. Russian manicures are invasive, cutting the cuticle; and this makes them controversial. If you do opt for a Russian manicure, make sure it’s carried out by a certified, experienced technician.

A Russian manicure (also called an e-file manicure or dry manicure) is a nail technique that uses an electric file to precisely remove the cuticle and clean around the nail plate, rather than cutting or pushing cuticles by hand. The result is an extremely clean, flush finish with gel or colour applied right to the skin. It originated in Eastern Europe and has become one of the fastest-growing nail treatments globally, known for its exceptionally neat appearance and longer-lasting results.

You’ll need to set a decent amount of time aside for a Russian manicure: it can take 1½-4 hours to complete because of the intricacy of the cuticle work.
