If you are used to going to a particular beauty salon in your city, ask your beautician if she does Russian manicure. But this technique having recently arrived in France, you will find few professionals qualified to perform it.

Not many beauticians do this manicure but it tends to develop more and more. Look at nail bar side or type in Google "Russian manicure + the name of your city" to quickly locate the proposed addresses.

In large cities, there are already dozens of practitioners for this technique. So if you are looking for a Russian manicure in Lyon , in Paris or Marseille, you should find it not without difficulty. And nothing says that in your small town or in your small village, an enthusiast is not trained in this very popular technique.

Either way, always go to a certified center and if you don't know the place, look at the reviews .

Finally, we will simply come back to the temptation to do this manicure alone at home. Frankly, you can try it but if you want flawless nails, go to a professional instead.

The cost of a Russian manicure is around 35 euros. It varies according to the institutes and it will be a little higher if you add a nail polish afterwards.

In summary

  • The Russian manicure is not a nail extension with false nails. It is simply a technique to increase the length of the nails by working the cuticles.
  • This technique has nothing to do with the beauty of the hands consisting of nail work, exfoliation and modeling, which is carried out in a beauty salon.
  • It is in a training center that a beautician or a professional will train to perform this manicure, as for the different nail techniques.
