Appointments usually last 45–60 minutes depending on nail condition and required detailing. More time may be needed for severe cuticle overgrowth or additional nail shaping. Our technicians ensure a careful, unhurried service for optimal precision and safety.

When performed by trained technicians, e-file work does not damage healthy nails. We use gentler bits, correct speeds, and expert pressure to thin and refine only the plate and cuticle build-up, preserving nail integrity and improving long-term appearance.

Regular polish typically lasts 5–10 days depending on lifestyle, nail prep, and maintenance. The Russian technique improves adhesion and neatness, helping polish look fresher longer than a standard manicure, though gel or shellac options provide extended wear.

No—it's generally comfortable. The e-file is used only on dead cuticle tissue and surface refinement. You may feel light vibrations, but technicians avoid live skin and use gentle settings. Speak up if you experience any sensitivity so we can adjust immediately.

Keep nails dry for a few hours, avoid harsh chemicals and hot water, and apply cuticle oil daily to maintain hydration. Use gloves for cleaning tasks and schedule regular touch-ups every 2–3 weeks to maintain crisp, professional results.

Clients with active infections, open wounds, fungal nails, or uncontrolled diabetes should avoid this service or consult a physician first. Our techs perform a brief health check and may decline service to protect your health and maintain salon safety.
