Dry Manicure
Shaping, meticulous cuticle care and hand massage, with or without gel polish and strengthening.
Dry Pedicure
Hygienic and advanced pedicures for dry, cracked skin and keratoses, with an optional gel finish.
Hard Gel & Extensions
Durable, smooth gel fills and elegant extensions in short, medium or long lengths.
The approach
Skilled, precise work. The way nail care should be.
Olga’s appointments are built around attention to detail: careful preparation, clean cuticle work and a finish that respects the health of your natural nail.
Nail health first
Strengthening options to reduce breakage and support growth. Gel is applied only when the natural nail is healthy and suitable.
Personal & caring
One client at a time, with time to talk through shape, length and colour so the result feels like you.
What is a dry manicure?
No soaking. Just careful, precise prep.
Instead of softening the skin in water, dead cuticle is lifted and removed with fine tools and an e-file. The nail keeps its true shape, so polish sits neatly and lasts longer.
Advanced pedicure & foot care
Feet that need a little more care.
A specialized pedicure for thick toenails, dry and cracked heels, calluses and corns, early ingrown toenails and difficult-to-trim nails. For men and women.

What is a dry (Russian) manicure?
A dry manicure is done without soaking the hands in water. Instead, Olga uses a precision e-file and fine tools to gently lift and remove dead cuticle tissue and refine the nail fold.
Because the nail isn’t swollen with water, polish is applied to the nail’s true shape, which helps it sit closer to the cuticle and look neater for longer.
Why do appointments cost more than a typical salon?
You’re paying for time, advanced training and meticulous technique, not a quick turnover. The goal is healthy nails and a result that holds up between visits.
Do you offer services for men?
Yes. There’s a dedicated Hygienic Manicure for Men and Hygienic Pedicure for Men: clean shaping, cuticle care and massage, with no polish.
Can you help with dry, cracked heels or thickened skin?
That’s what the Advanced Pedicure is for. It addresses keratoses, cracks and excessive dryness, and can be combined with gel polish when the natural nail is suitable.
Will you apply gel if my nails are damaged?
Nail health comes first. Gel polish is applied only when the natural nail plate is healthy and suitable. If it isn’t, Olga will suggest a strengthening option or a hygienic service instead.
