About Tati Nails Artistry
A private, appointment-only Russian manicure studio welcoming the greater Richmond area.
Every service is executed by master artisan Tatiana Kulik, merging authentic Russian nail methodology with elite-level pedagogy and a refined, detail-driven approach to natural nail care. The studio operates strictly on a one-on-one basis, ensuring focused, uninterrupted craftsmanship and consistently flawless results.
Health Comes First
Your nail and skin health are the absolute foundation of every service at Tati Nails Artistry.
All work is performed using a health-first approach informed by advanced Russian e-file methodology, nail anatomy, and structural balance. If Tatiana identifies any condition that may compromise safety—such as infection, inflammation, open wounds, or nail/skin concerns—the service may be paused, adjusted, or rescheduled to protect your health.
In these cases, no cancellation or rescheduling fees apply. Medical clearance may be required before continuing service.
This uncompromising standard of care extends to our Russian Pedicure services. By combining aesthetic precision with advanced podological principles, Tatiana specializes in deep, restorative foot care. Every pedicure is engineered to safely rehabilitate the skin and nail structure, delivering a flawless, enduring finish that goes far beyond standard salon results.
This standard allows the studio to maintain a private, one-on-one environment where quality, safety, and consistency are never compromised.

The Heritage & Mastery
Born and formally trained in Russia, Tatiana Kulik’s relationship with nail artistry began early in childhood. Drawn to creative tools—nail polish, artificial nails, brushes, and fine detailing—she spent countless hours experimenting. That early creative foundation later evolved into the precision and fine artistry that define her work today.
As she entered her teenage years, that interest became a strict discipline. She spent years practicing while actively studying at top nail academies in Russia—where she learned nail anatomy, health-focused structural systems, and manual art techniques. During this time, she built a deep pedagogical foundation long before entering professional practice.
In her late teens, Tatiana began working in a high-end Russian salon, gaining experience in a demanding environment with uncompromising technical standards. Shortly thereafter, at age eighteen, she opened her own studio in Russia.
After several years of independent work, she relocated to the United States, spending over a year working with a respected salon in Manhattan, refining her standards within one of the world's most competitive beauty markets.
In 2025, Tatiana Kulik moved to the Richmond area and established Tati Nails Artistry in Midlothian, Virginia—a private studio built on the belief that true mastery requires absolute focus.
