The Essence of the Russian Pedicure
The Russian Pedicure, often called the dry pedicure, focuses on meticulous skin and nail restoration using specialized e-file tools. Unlike traditional soaking methods, this technique enables precise control over callus removal and cuticle refinement, thereby reducing the risk of infection and ensuring longer-lasting smoothness.
Performed by expertly trained artists in our Tribeca and Upper East Side studios, this treatment is celebrated by New Yorkers who expect excellence at every level.

The Russian Pedicure Ritual: Step by Step
1. Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a professional evaluation of your skin and nail condition. We identify areas needing attention, from dry patches to callus buildup, to customize the treatment.
2. Cleansing & Sterilization: Clean feet mean self-care
Your feet are gently cleansed and sanitized. Every instrument is sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave, and our NYC exhaust systems keep the air fresh and pure, meeting New York State safety codes.
3. Precision E-File Callus Removal
Using an advanced e-file and specialized bits, your technician removes hardened skin and calluses layer by layer, painlessly and safely. The process leaves heels and soles unbelievably soft, without the harsh scraping of traditional tools.
4. Cuticle & Nail Care
Cuticles are refined and cleaned with microscopic accuracy, creating a neat, healthy nail bed. Nails are shaped and buffed for symmetry and smoothness.
5. Exfoliation & Hydration: your feet will be soft with us
A nourishing exfoliant may be applied to enhance softness, followed by rich creams and oils that penetrate deeply for lasting hydration.
6. Polish or Natural Finish
Choose between air-dry polish, gel, or a perfectly natural finish. We use only professional, hypoallergenic lines free from up to 21 harmful ingredients; non-toxic, cruelty-free, and designed for sensitive skin.
7. Massage & Moisture Seal
The ritual concludes with a relaxing foot massage to stimulate circulation and restore balance. Skin is sealed with nutrient oils, leaving a subtle glow that feels as luxurious as it looks.
