What the service includes
This Signature Russian Pedicure with Ira begins with removal of any previous gel and proceeds as a meticulous dry pedicure focused on cuticle preparation. Expect precise cleaning of the nail plate, shaping and refining of each toenail, and removal of dry skin from the feet before polish application.
Plan for a full 105 MINUTES appointment priced at $130; this allows time for detailed cuticle work and a relaxing massage at the end. Because the service is performed dry, little waiting for drying is needed between steps, and Ira focuses on delivering a clean, polished finish suited to clients who want precise results rather than a quick trim.
Russian technique and finish
The Russian pedicure technique used here is a dry method that concentrates on precise cuticle preparation and a clean nail plate before polish. Technicians remove dead cuticle material to reveal smooth edges and define the nail shape, then refine surrounding dry skin so the chrome polish lays flat and presents a clean, reflective finish.
A single solid color is applied after preparation, then chrome is added as requested to create a metallic look. The chrome effect depends on careful, even application over a smooth base; that base is achieved through the Russian cuticle work and shaping steps described above. Clients choosing chrome should expect a highly polished, mirror-like surface.
