Russian Manicure Vs Basic Manicure

Even those who regularly get manicures may not realize the differences between traditional gel manis and Russian manicures – this new trend is quickly gaining traction! And its results speak for themselves!

Expert nail technicians with extensive training in this method must perform this service to the highest of standards; when done perfectly, this mani can last significantly longer than regular gel polish manis but depends on care taken and healthy nail habits.

Painless

At the hands of an experienced nail technician who has perfected this technique, a Russian manicure is not only beautiful but also astonishingly safe – no water required and careful cuticle care to complete this treatment!

Traditional nail treatments involving emery boards, nail drills and the soaking of nails in water require multiple tools; this specialized approach involves an electric file. A nail technician grooms and dehydrates cuticles on each nail using an e-file headpiece (similar to what would be used when applying acrylics).

As long as you visit a qualified practitioner who specializes in this manicure and only uses sterilized tools, your treatment should be safe. However, going to an inexperienced nail tech who uses too aggressive filing or fails to dehydrate nails before polishing can undermine its benefits and cause lasting damage; so finding a salon with skilled nail technicians who adhere to high sanitary standards is essential for good manicure care.

Safe

Russian manicures focus on the health of your nails by eliminating excess cuticle growth, encouraging healthier nail growth and creating a more polished appearance. They also focus on gentle and precise cuticle maintenance to safeguard against infections to your nails.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, cutting your cuticles can lead to infection and contact dermatitis (an itchy, scaly rash on your hands). When cutting cuticles, a protective barrier seal that separates fingernails and skin is destroyed when cutting cuticles off – this leaves open an infection risk and an open channel between fingernail growth and skin transition zones uncovered and vulnerable for infection.

Therefore, it’s essential that you seek a manicure from an experienced and trained professional. Make sure they use sterilized equipment.

Long-lasting

One of the primary advantages of Russian manicure is that its effects last significantly longer than those from regular polish manis. Through thorough cleaning and cuticle work, nail products adhere more efficiently, helping your nails look their best for up to four weeks after.

This process also includes buffing the nails using various grit files and buffers, leaving them ultra-smooth so color can be applied in just one coat without bubbling or cracking issues that can arise with conventional polish application.

Additionally, Sechoir Beauty Bar’s manicure services feature the application of professional nail strengtheners and treatments designed to strengthen weak or brittle nails. However, such benefits could be diminished if your technician lacks experience or uses inferior products, so we employ only top Master and Executive Technicians with years of experience behind them who use professional polishes with maximum adhesion and durability in mind.

Affordable

TikTok beauty trends include one of its most beloved nail services: Russian manicure. Renowned for its long-term results and meticulous cuticle work, its popularity has skyrocketed with more clients looking for treatments that look lived-in while lasting longer.

The E-File technique makes for a faster and less costly alternative to regular manis by forgoing soak-and-wax treatment, making it more efficient and affordable than its traditional counterpart. Furthermore, this process reduces damage to eponychium (the thin layer of skin covering your fingernails) as nail polish can be applied closer to each nail, producing more natural-looking nails.

As the e-file process can be more prone to mistakes and damage if done improperly than traditional manicures, it’s essential that you find an experienced nail technician trained in e-file techniques that provides quality service. When searching for salons offering this technique, ask how long their technician has been practicing it as well as whether or not their tools use proper disinfection/sterilization protocols.
