A Russian manicure is a dry manicure that cleans the cuticle area with an electric file, so the polish can sit very close to the skin. Every salon here names a Russian, e-file or dry manicure on its own website.

Ask who does it. The technique depends on the technician’s training, so salons often book it with specific staff and need more time than a regular manicure.
Common questions
Is a Russian manicure safe?
Done by a trained technician it is a common technique; the risk is over-filing the skin, so ask whether the technician has e-file training.
How long does a Russian manicure last?
Because the gel is applied close to the cuticle, it usually grows out more slowly visually — often three to four weeks.
