What makes it different

What is a Russian manicure?

A Russian manicure, also called a dry or e-file manicure, skips soaking the hands. Instead your technician uses a precision electric file to gently lift and clean around the cuticle, getting closer to the nail base than a traditional manicure can.

The result is an ultra-clean look where the gel colour sits right up to the skin, so it looks freshly done for longer and grows out far less visibly.

At Hideaway every Russian manicure is done one-on-one and unrushed. It is meticulous work, and it is what our clients come back for.

The Russian manicure difference

Lasts longer

Because the gel is applied right to the cuticle, regrowth is far less obvious. Many clients stretch to three or four weeks between visits.

Impeccably clean

Precision cuticle work gives that crisp, salon-perfect edge you cannot get from a standard manicure.

Gentle and dry

No soaking and no harsh cutting — careful, detailed prep that is kind to your natural nail.

Russian manicure FAQs

How long does a Russian manicure last?

Most clients get three to four weeks of clean, fresh-looking wear, because the gel is applied right to the cuticle and regrowth is much less noticeable than a standard manicure.

Is a Russian manicure safe for my nails?

Yes. Done by a trained technician it is gentle — no soaking and no aggressive cutting, just careful, precise prep around the cuticle. Our techs are experienced with the e-file technique.

How long does the appointment take?

Plan for a little more time than a regular manicure. The detailed cuticle work is what makes it last, so it is meticulous by design and never rushed.

Do you do nail art and designs too?

Absolutely. From a clean natural look or French to fully custom art — bring your inspiration and we will create it.

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome when we have space, but booking online guarantees your time and your technician.
