Advanced Foundation Architecture

Russian Hard Gel Manicure

$130.00

The Protocol

A structured Russian manicure built on the same detailed hygienic foundation as all of our manicure services, followed by advanced product application for added durability and long-lasting results.

The service begins with safe removal of existing gel polish. A detailed e-file hardware manicure is performed using a combined technique, including precise cuticle trimming with scissors. The nail plate is refined and polished to restore a smooth, clean surface and support optimal nail condition.

Once the foundational manicure process is complete, a hard gel overlay is applied to reinforce the natural nail without adding length. Gel polish is then applied, allowing for extended wear, improved balance, and a refined final appearance.

Eligibility & Maintenance

This service is strictly for natural nails only. It does not include extensions or length correction.

Hard gel is a structural material that must be professionally maintained or safely removed as the natural nail grows. For this reason, maintenance or safe product removal is strictly recommended within 3–4 weeks.
