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.

  • 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.
