Best Russian Manicures near me in Oud Zuid, Alkmaar

A standard manicure uses water soaking, a cuticle pusher and nippers to manage cuticles by hand. A Russian manicure uses an electric file (e-file) to remove the cuticle dry and with greater precision, resulting in a cleaner finish where gel or colour sits flush to the skin with minimal lifting at the edges. Russian manicures require a more skilled, trained technician and typically last longer than a standard gel manicure.

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.

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.
