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 color 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, unrushed, in a calm studio setting. It’s meticulous work, and it’s what our clients come back for.

Russian manicure FAQs
How long does a Russian manicure last?
Most clients get 3 to 4 weeks of clean, fresh-looking wear because the gel is applied right to the cuticle, so regrowth is much less noticeable than a standard manicure.
Is a Russian manicure safe for my nails?
Yes — when done by a trained technician it’s gentle. There’s no soaking and no aggressive cutting; it’s 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. It’s meticulous by design, never rushed.
Do you do nail art and designs too?
Absolutely. From a clean natural look or French to fully custom art, just bring your inspiration and we’ll 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 technician. You can book in a few taps.
