What the service includes
This Signature Russian Manicure w/ Ira is a meticulous dry manicure focused on detailed cuticle care and a refined finish. The service includes removal of previous gel, precise cuticle preparation using the Russian manicure technique, shaping of natural nails, and the French finish or one solid color option, tailored to your preference.
Appointments are priced at $135 and last 135 MINUTES. That time allows Ira to perform careful gel removal, detailed cuticle work, shaping, and to apply the chosen finish without rushing. Please plan your schedule for the full appointment and arrive a few minutes early so the service can begin promptly.
The Russian manicure method
The Russian manicure is performed as a dry technique that emphasizes precise cuticle preparation and a clean free edge. At EuropeanNails with Ira, the focus is on refining the visible nail line and removing excess cuticle material so polish sits evenly. This level of detail produces a crisp, professional base for the French finish.
Because the method is detail-oriented, it typically requires steady concentration and time from the technician to achieve uniform results. Clients who prioritize a neat, understated look benefit most, especially with the Sonoran Desert’s dry climate, which can make cuticle maintenance more noticeable between visits. Expect a controlled, deliberate process rather than a quick polish.
Planning your appointment in Phoenix
EuropeanNails is located in North Scottsdale along the Tatum Boulevard corridor near Desert Ridge and the Scottsdale Airpark, convenient for commuters coming off Loop 101.

If you plan to combine your visit with shopping or dining, allow extra time for travel and salon check-in so the appointment runs smoothly.
