@yjnailz: This is just my opinion but every video I’ve seen of a russian manicure just looks like it hurts😭 The nail tech is constantly digging into the sidewalls and cutting wayyy too much skin. Theres a protective barrier there for a reason😭The more you cut , the less protection and you’re more susceptible to infection. I’ve even seen some people bleed from them and I had a client say their nails always hurt afterwards🥲 Just my opinion, I just know I won’t be getting one🤣 If you do russian manicures, or have a different opinion lmk! I’m curious⬇️ ✨ Located in Laurel, Maryland ✨ Nail + Toe Combos available now ✨ 1-on-1 Classes & Digital Products for beginner nail techs ✨ Only a few slots left for June bookings are open now!! 🔗 in bio to secure your appointment #marylandnailtech #marylandnails #dmvnailtech #dmvnailsalon #nailclasses
Russian manicures should be left in the hands of MEDICAL ADVANCED NAIL TECHS simple

When a Russian manicure is done incorrectly that’s what usually happens . Pain , dry cuticles , extreme growth of cuticle . Russian manicures CAN be done safely and with out any pain . It just take a lot of detail , time and education . Know the right technique and using the right product . But I do agree is not for everyone.

It was only a matter of time before people started to notice that russian manicures are actually not good for your nail bed…

There’s too many people who claim to do Russian manicures. REAL Russian manicures do not cause damage. It’s just like any other service. If don’t correctly it’s fine, but any untrained tech will fuck up your nails and skin.

Russian Manicures are definitely not for everyone, it takes time, precision and it’s not something u can honestly just go around saying u do, I think some nail techs are following a trend without being properly trained. Depending on my clients cuticle and all the extra dry skin around the nail I will recommend a Russian manicure. It’s not the same as doing a regular prep. Personally for me it is necessary. I respect your opinion tho.

I like them every now and then but I don’t want that invasive of a manicure every time and unfortunately my salon doesn’t do a polish change past a certain point and only offers Russians but no one else can get the manicure to last and keep my nail bed healthy🥲

I love Russian manicures but I understand what you’re saying also. The thing is, a lot of nail techs don’t clean the cuticles when doing nails. I never get lifting or any issues with the Russian manicures. My nails grow out so beautifully

I agree.There is no reason to remove that much skin. and a russian manicure does remove a lot of living skin, even though they claim, it doesn't

I thought the main reason for the Russian manicure was not to immerse your hands in water.

I don’t understand how in most states it’s illegal to cut the cuticle but with Russian manicures it’s okay and they over cut the skin
