Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Russian Pedicure (Dazzle Dry).

A Russian Pedicure uses specialized electronic files to precisely remove excess skin and refine the nail bed, unlike traditional nippers. This medical-grade method gives cleaner lines, better control, and a more polished result, finished with quick-drying, breathable Dazzle Dry lacquer for durability.

Most clients experience little to no pain; electronic files target excess skin and dead tissue rather than live tissue. Your technician works gently and can adjust pressure. If you have sensitive skin or open wounds, we’ll modify or recommend an alternative treatment.

Appointments usually last 45 to 75 minutes depending on nail condition and any add-ons. Initial treatments may take slightly longer for detailed work; regular maintenance appointments are often quicker. Please arrive five minutes early to consult with your technician.

Dazzle Dry dries quickly, allowing most clients to wear open-toed shoes shortly after service. We recommend waiting at least 10 to 15 minutes for optimal curing and avoiding tight footwear for a couple hours to protect the finish.

Clients with active foot infections, open wounds, uncontrolled diabetes, or severe circulatory problems should avoid this service. Please disclose medical conditions and medications during booking so we can recommend safe alternatives or obtain medical clearance if necessary.

Keep nails dry for the first few hours and avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged soaking for 24 hours. Apply cuticle oil and moisturizer daily, wear supportive shoes, and book routine maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain results.
