RUSSIAN MANICURE
The Russian Manicure, also known as a dry or hardware manicure, is a precision service that uses a professional drill, diamond bits, and sterile cutters without any water or soaking to ensure perfect adhesion and deep hygiene. By removing the cuticle from the root, eliminating the pterygium, and cleaning the sidewalls, it creates a visually elongated nail bed and a flawless base that extends the wear of any polish—gel, acrylic, or semi-permanent—for up to four weeks without visible cuticle regrowth.

Dual Forms Extensions with Builder Gel + Russian Manicure
This service begins with the foundation of a high-precision Russian Manicure, using diamond bits to thoroughly clean the cuticle, remove pterygium, and perfect the nail plate without any soaking. Following this, extensions are applied using Dual Forms filled with Builder Gel, which is cured under an LED/UV lamp to create a customized length and curvature before being sculpted to achieve the ideal tension zone. The result is a lightweight yet durable sculpted gel nail with a hyper-realistic finish, thanks to the precision of the Russian manicure base.
Builder Gel on Natural Nails + Russian Manicure
Ideal for those looking to strengthen natural nails without adding excessive length, this service begins with a deep Russian Manicure using sterile instruments and a low-speed drill to meticulously clean the nail bed, removing 100% of dead cuticle and excess skin for a completely clean, dry surface. Over this flawless base, Builder Gel is applied directly onto the natural nail using a sculpting technique to create a reinforcing layer that corrects imperfections, adds strength, and acts as a thin yet durable prosthetic, with the gel self-leveling to form a perfect curve that prevents breakage. The result is a flawless finish—semi-permanent polish or gel color over a perfectly symmetrical structure—with a natural yet polished appearance.
Dual Forms Extensions with Polygel + Russian Manicure
This service combines the extreme hygiene of the Russian Manicure with the lightweight feel of Polygel, a hybrid between gel and acrylic. It begins with a dry cuticle treatment using Russian manicure techniques to lift and remove adhered cuticles, leaving the matrix free and the sidewalls perfectly defined. The extension is then applied using Dual Forms, with the Polygel offering an ideal balance—flexible yet impact-resistant—and serving as an excellent option for sensitive skin since it does not require an aggressive bonding layer. The result is nails with a perfectly architectural, bulge-free structure, thanks to the Russian Manicure preparation that ensures the extension adheres directly to a nail free of moisture and residue.
Russian Pedicure
This service brings the precision of the Russian Manicure to the feet. Unlike a traditional soaked pedicure, the Russian Pedicure is a dry procedure that uses a drill with sterile, single-use diamond bits. It works in depth to remove adhered cuticle, hard skin (calluses), and pterygium without cutting live tissue, resulting in an extremely clean and smooth finish. This method allows for controlled treatment of hardness, cracks, and excess keratinized tissue, leaving the nail contour and sidewalls perfectly clear. Ideal for extending the wear of semi-permanent polish, the absence of moisture ensures total adhesion, delivering a "laboratory-grade" finish—symmetrical nails, invisible cuticles, and a sensation of absolute cleanliness that lasts for weeks.
ACRYLIC FULL SET
A classic long-lasting service, this Acrylic Full Set uses a liquid and powder (monomer and polymer) acrylic system over a prepared nail. While cuticle management is included to ensure a clean base, the acrylic technique allows for sculpting nails with great structural strength, making it ideal for those seeking extreme length, highly defined shapes (such as almond or stiletto), or requiring nail repairs that withstand high mechanical demands. The acrylic hardens through air exposure, allowing the professional to sculpt the structure, tension zone, and apex in real time before refining the symmetry with filing. This is the most durable option for those with habits that weaken gel—such as frequent impact—or for anyone seeking a maintenance schedule that can last up to 3 to 4 weeks with regular fills.
GEL X EXTENSIONS
The most modern and comfortable extension technique, Gel X involves applying pre-formed soft gel tips that adhere to the natural nail with a special gel adhesive. Unlike traditional tips, these do not require aggressive filing to create ridges on the nail, making them completely friendly to nail health. The process includes meticulous preparation—typically with a Russian manicure or deep cuticle work—to ensure a clean base, followed by selecting the perfect-fitting tip for the nail bed, adhering it, and sealing it under an LED lamp. The result is an ultra-lightweight, flexible yet durable extension that resembles a lengthened natural nail, requiring no structural filing (only light buffing for adjustment). This is the preferred option for those seeking comfort, a dust-free service experience, and a highly natural aesthetic outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Russian Manicure is a high-precision technique performed with diamond bits in a dry environment—no soaking nails in water. This allows for perfect cuticle sealing and a deep clean of the nail bed, resulting in an impeccable finish that lasts up to 4 weeks without lifting. By using no water, the polish adheres directly to the natural nail, ensuring significantly longer wear.
Ambas son excelentes opciones dentro de la categoría de "Dual Forms", pero se adaptan a necesidades distintas:
Builder Gel (Gel de Construcción): Es más flexible y ligero. Es ideal para clientas que buscan un acabado natural, con un brillo característico del gel y mayor suavidad. Es perfecto para uñas frágiles.
Polygel: Es una mezcla entre gel y acrílico. Es más resistente a golpes y presión que el gel tradicional, pero mantiene la flexibilidad. Es ideal para quienes buscan extensiones más duraderas o tienen un estilo de vida muy activo.
Te recomendamos Builder Gel on Natural Nails + Russian Manicure. Este servicio aplica una capa de gel constructor sobre tu uña natural para darle rigidez y protegerla de roturas, mientras se mantiene la largura original. Incluye la técnica rusa de cutícula para un acabado impecable y de larga duración.
GEL X: Son extensiones realizadas con tips de gel suaves y pre-formadas que se adhieren con un gel específico. No requieren limado excesivo ni generan polvo durante la colocación. El resultado es extremadamente ligero, flexible y natural, con una curva interna (apex) ya diseñada.

Para mantener la salud de tus uñas y la estética del servicio, recomendamos agendar el retoque (fill-in) cada 3 a 4 semanas. En el caso de la Russian Manicure en uña natural, el mantenimiento consiste en pulir el crecimiento y recolocar el esmalte, mientras que en las extensiones (Gel X, Acrílico o Dual Forms) rellenamos la zona de crecimiento para mantener la estructura y resistencia.
Es necesario que retires el esmalte semipermanente antes de tu cita, o bien, selecciona la opción de "Retiro de servicio anterior" al momento de reservar. Esto nos permite optimizar el tiempo de tu cita y dedicarlo completamente al nuevo servicio.
Sí. Tanto el Builder Gel on Natural Nails como las GEL X Extensions son excelentes opciones para rehabilitar uñas dañadas, ya que actúan como una "prótesis" que protege la uña mientras crece sana debajo. Durante la cita evaluaremos el estado de tus uñas para recomendar el tratamiento más adecuado.
