FAQ
What is a Russian Manicure?
A Russian mani is a meticulous e-file technique focusing on the cuticle area, removing dead skin, shaping the nails, and machine polishing. Our nail technicians create perfect nails with a long-lasting finish and promote healthy nail growth. For more details, read our full article.
What’s the difference between a Russian and a regular manicure?
Unlike regular manicures, a Russian manicure uses an electric file to precisely clean and contour the cuticle and nail. This technique delivers a smoother, longer-lasting result and a healthier nail bed, while traditional manicures use hand tools and often skip detailed cuticle work.
What is a Russian Pedicure?
It is a dry, machine-based foot treatment that removes cuticles, smooths calluses, and finishes with gel or builder products for a durable, hygienic result. This approach avoids soaking, which lowers infection risks and improves precision. Learn more about our Russian Pedicure.
How long do Builder Gel Nails last?
Builder Gel Nails typically last up to 4 weeks, depending on your lifestyle and nail care routine. Builder gel creates a strong overlay, making it ideal for those who want extra durability, especially for weak or brittle nails. Learn more in our Builder Gel vs Acrylic article.
What nail designs are available at Mars Nails?
Mars Nails offers a wide range of custom nail designs, including classic French, marble, cat eye, ombré, stamping, chrome, and unique hand-painted nail art.
