Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — click to expand the answer

Russian manicure: precision and elegance

Russian manicure is an advanced dry manicure technique using an electric drill and special attachments to precisely remove cuticles and dead skin cells. This method allows the polish to be applied very close to the base of the nail, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting result. At LuxNail&Beauty, our specialists have mastered this technique to make your hands look perfect.

Russian Manicure with Free Edge Reinforcement: More Durability and Protection for Your Nails
Free edge reinforcement is a procedure that strengthens the nail tip and stress zone, the parts most exposed to impacts, stress, and daily wear and tear. To achieve this, we apply an additional layer of gel (a harder material) that protects the natural nail and keeps the polish in perfect condition for longer.

When do we recommend reinforcing the free edge?
Long nails that need more support.
Thin or weak nails that tend to break.
People with an active lifestyle or who use their hands a lot.
Uneven nail surfaces.

When is free edge reinforcement not necessary?
Short nails.
Healthy, strong nails that do not require additional protection.

By reinforcing the free edge, we ensure that your Russian manicure not only looks impeccable, but is also more resistant and durable, reducing chipping and cracking.

Have they replaced the materials with TPO-free materials?

We are aware that, since September 1, 2025, the use of TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is prohibited — a substance that was previously used for the polymerization of all products under UV and LED lamps: gels, bases, top coats, enamels and other materials.

✅ What is allowed:

  1. TPO-L (Ethyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphinate)
  2. TPO-IT (Di-p-Tolyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide)

    • CAS: 89218-52-0

  3. BAPO (Bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide)

    • CAS: 162881-26-7

⚠️ The forbidden:

  • TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide), CAS 75980-60-8❗️

What we have done:

We started ahead of schedule to replace materials with new ones, based on the catalogs provided by the suppliers.

Currently, in the salon we have bases, toppers and gels that fully comply with legal requirements and are safe for use.

Nail extensions: perfect length and shape for special events

Nail extensions are ideal if you’re preparing for an important event and don’t want to wait for your nails to grow. We offer various extension methods, such as gel tips applied to lower or upper forms, and we customize the shape and length to your liking. Our experts work with all types of nails, including bitten nails, creating beautiful and durable designs.

Can you get extensions on bitten nails?

Yes, our specialists work with bitten nails, creating a beautiful and long-lasting shape. This service requires more time and a higher level of expertise from the technician, so it is slightly more expensive. But we work with all types of difficult cases.

Gel filling

If your nails have special shapes or need correction, we offer a gel fill service to strengthen and correct them.

We work with various nail shapes, correct downward-growing and “trampoline” nail structures, and tailor our service to each client’s individual needs. This service is ideal for long nails, nails that curve or curl, and we offer solutions for when base coats or gel polish don’t adhere properly.

This guarantees a perfect appearance and long-lasting nail polish.

Difference between semi-permanent nail polish and gel refill

Understanding the difference is important to choose the best option for you:

  • Semi-permanent nail polish: a smooth base that evens out the nail surface, ideal for short and medium nails. Glossy finish, lasts up to 4 weeks.
  • Gel or acrygel refills: more solid materials that create a strong structure. Recommended for long nails or after extensions.

Both options are perfect for natural nails.

What is a BIAB manicure? Do you offer this service at the salon?

BIAB manicure is a modern technique for strengthening and leveling the nail surface.
The material feels like a thick base coat, but with the durability of a gel.
Why choose BIAB?

  • Strengthens and protects natural nails;
  • It helps increase nail length if nails are thin or brittle;
  • It has a very natural look;
  • It can be worn as a standalone nude finish or as a base for semi-permanent nail polish;
  • It has a more natural formula compared to the classic gel.

⚠️ Important: BIAB is considered an intermediate option between semi-permanent and gel refills. If the nails are very long, require structural work, or corner reconstruction, a gel refill is the best option.

We always follow the trends

At LuxNail&Beauty, we closely follow global trends in the nail industry. We regularly update our color palette, order fashionable shades, and source innovative materials for our designs. This allows us to create modern styles that are always at the forefront of nail art.

 

Trendy nails aren’t just about intricate designs. We offer a wide range of semi-permanent base coats for those who prefer understated, elegant, old-school manicures. This allows for well-groomed, modern nails without excessive detail.

Basic salon designs: always available

In addition to custom designs, you can always add basic designs such as:

  • Baby Boomer
  • French
  • “Cat’s eye” effect

  • Mirror effect

What is a SMART Russian pedicure?

The Russian pedicure is performed dry using a combined technique that employs an electric drill and scissors. The hardened skin around the nails is meticulously treated with burrs, while the cuticle is carefully removed with scissors, always using 100% sterilized tools.

Finally, a semi-permanent nail polish is applied for a flawless finish.

Smart Pedicure is an innovative and highly effective method for foot care. Its main advantage is the use of a smart disc to which interchangeable, disposable files of varying abrasiveness are attached.

The Smart Pedicure achieves perfectly polished skin, and the results last much longer. Furthermore, a molecular oil is applied during the procedure that “seals” the skin, preventing thickening and prolonging its smoothness.

Russian manicure without polish: natural elegance and flawless nails

At LuxNail&Beauty, we offer the option of a Russian manicure without polish: a deep manicure technique using an electric file, where the cuticle and nail fold are carefully worked. After this procedure, your nails look incredibly clean and neat, with a natural finish that highlights the beauty of your hands without the need for color or additional shine.

This is the perfect option for those who prefer well-groomed, elegant, and healthy-looking nails without using nail polish.

Japanese manicure: natural shine and strengthening

Japanese manicure is a luxurious, natural treatment that gently restores and strengthens nails. Pastes enriched with minerals and beeswax are carefully rubbed onto the nail surface, creating a healthy shine and natural strength without the need for polish.

Ideal for those seeking a polished and natural look, Japanese manicure is the best way to have beautiful, strong, and healthy nails.

How long does a Russian manicure last?

Russian manicures typically last between 3 and 4 weeks, depending on aftercare and nail type. We recommend not leaving the polish on longer than indicated and scheduling regular refills to maintain healthy nails.

Is it possible to do a manicure and pedicure on 4 hands?

The “four-hands” service involves two professionals performing both a manicure and pedicure simultaneously. It’s ideal for those who want to save time: the entire procedure is faster, allowing you to receive both services in a single visit.

A supplement of €10 is added to the price of the chosen services, which corresponds to the organization of the simultaneous work of two specialists.

However, it is important to keep the following in mind:

  • The body posture during this service may be less comfortable than in a standard procedure.
  • Having two technicians work at the same time can affect the quality of the result, especially in complex or architectural procedures.

Therefore, the “4 hands” service is only available for:

  • Manicure/pedicure with semi-permanent polish (gel)
  • Manicure/pedicure without nail polish
  • In exceptional cases — with traditional enamel

❗️❗️Important: procedures that require precision and more time (such as extensions, corrections or architectural work on nails) are not performed in the “4 hands” format.

What tool sterilization methods do they use?

We follow strict sterilization standards, using ultrasonic cleaning and dry heat oven sterilization. All tools are carefully packaged. Materials that cannot be sterilized are disposable, such as files, gloves, etc.

<
How long does the service take?

It depends on the service:

  • Russian manicure with SEMI — from 1 h 15 min to 1 h 30 min
  • Complete Smart Pedicure with Semi-Permanent Polish — 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Nail extensions — 2 to 2.5 hours
  • Gel filling — 1.5 to 2 hours
How to care for semi-permanent nails at home?
We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, using special cuticle oils, and not subjecting your nails to excessive mechanical stress.
You can purchase nail care products at our salon.
Do you offer manicures and pedicures that already include a spa treatment?

Yes, we offer a polish-free manicure that includes a complete two-step SPA treatment: a nourishing mask and exfoliation.
We also offer a complete polish-free pedicure with a SPA treatment.
And, separately, we offer a heel cleaning with SPA treatment, an excellent service in between complete pedicures.
