Plan for about two to three hours. Our Signature Premium Gel Overlay is a detailed service that includes Russian-style cuticle work, structured gel application, and your finished shape. The extra time is what gives the set its clean look and long wear.
A Russian-style manicure is a dry manicure technique that uses an e-file to clean and refine the cuticle area with precision. It creates a tidy nail bed, lets color sit closer to the cuticle, and helps your set look fresh for longer between visits.
Yes, custom designs are a studio favorite. Bring an inspiration photo and we will recreate the look with a Korean-inspired aesthetic, from soft syrup gels to detailed hand-painted art. Design time and pricing depend on the set, so share your idea when you book.
