Frequently Asked Questions

They're two names for the same professional technique: a dry, e-file manicure with detailed cuticle work and long-lasting results. The method originated in Eastern Europe and is known as "Russian manicure," "Ukrainian manicure," or "dry manicure", or "e-file manicure" depending on who you ask. At KRASUNYA, Violetta is originally from Ukraine - trained there, and performs the authentic technique. So if you've been searching for a Russian manicure near Beaverton or Hillsboro, this is it. Visit our Ukrainian manicure page for details.

A waterless (dry) pedicure skips the foot soak entirely. Instead, we use professional-grade KART Cosmetics to soften calluses and remove dead skin gently and precisely. No soaking means no shared water, which dramatically reduces the risk of bacterial or fungal exposure and the products absorb better. So results last longer. It's not only safe, it's the more hygienic choice. Visit our waterless pedicure page for details.

Yes, in trained hands, an e-file is gentler than cutting tools. Violetta is a licensed, professionally trained technician who works with precision, so there's no damage to the nail plate or skin. Many clients find their natural nails become healthier and stronger over time, because nothing is cut, torn, or over-filed. Visit our Google Maps page to read real customer reviews.

Hygiene is non-negotiable at KRASUNYA. Every client is served with individually packaged, fully sterilized instruments, opened in front of you. All reusable tools go through professional cleaning with Barbicide disinfectant and sterilization with high temperature in autoclave. The workspace is disinfected between clients. You'll never share tools, files, or buffers with anyone.

Absolutely. Clean, well-groomed nails aren't just for women. We offer men's manicures and waterless pedicures. No polish required, just neat nails, healthy cuticles, and smooth skin. Our male clients come for the dry pedicure as well, which is excellent for cracked heels and hard calluses. Visit our services & prices page for details.

Our technique is waterless and involves no soaking and no cutting, which keeps the risk of irritation or micro-injury minimal. The KART Cosmetics products we use for pedicures are formulated with plant extracts, fruit enzymes, and essential oils. Please keep in mind that during pregnancy or nursing, hormonal changes can make nails softer, so gel polish may not last as long as usual. If you have diabetes, are pregnant, or have any individual health concerns, we recommend checking with your health care provider before booking.

Time that's entirely yours. Your appointment is a private, one-on-one session lasting about 1–2 hours, depending on the service.

Very little - that's the point. To get the longest wear:
● Use cuticle oil daily to keep the skin nourished.● Wear gloves for cleaning, gardening, or long contact with harsh chemicals.● Don't use your nails as tools (opening cans, peeling stickers).● Don't pick or peel the gel. If something lifts, come see us instead.● Moisturize your hands regularly, especially in winter.

Contact us right away, we'll get you in for a repair as soon as possible. At Krasunya, we offer free gel nail repairs within 7 days of your original appointment.

Yes, of course. Removal isn't included in the base service price, simply add the "Gel Removal" service when booking your appointment, and we'll take the old gel off safely with an e-file, never by soaking or peeling, so your natural nails stay healthy. Please note: We do not remove dip powder. Visit our services&prices page for details.
