Dry Russian Pedicure

Dry/e-file pedicure with callus softening, precise cuticle refinement and gel polish or natural buff finish for immaculate toes. Perfect for clients who want long-lasting smoothness and immaculate detailing.

What sets this pedicure apart

The pedicure at Nails USA by Vera is performed completely dry using e-file techniques adapted from Russian manicure training. This allows Vera to refine every detail around the nail fold and callus area without over-soaking or irritating the skin.

  • Gentle callus softening and smoothing with sterilized diamond bits.
  • Cuticle detailing for a crisp finish that grows out cleanly.
  • Option for gel polish, French finish or high-shine buff.
  • Relaxed private suite setting with strict hygiene protocols.

Ideal for

Clients who need a hygienic pedicure that lasts beyond the average salon visit, including those preparing for vacations, open-toe events or simply prioritizing detailed foot care.

Service duration Approximately 75–90 minutes depending on finish and callus level.
Investment From $90 with gel finish. Natural buff and callus-only appointments are available upon request.
Wear time Expect 4–5 weeks of neat cuticles and healthy soles when paired with home hydration.

Service outline

1. Consultation & prep

We review shoe habits, sports routines and any areas needing extra attention. Feet remain dry to allow precise e-file work and prevent over-softening.

2. Callus refinement & cuticle care

Vera softens calluses with professional products, then refines soles and heels using dedicated bits before moving to meticulous cuticle detailing.

3. Finish & hydration

Your choice of gel polish, French finish or natural buff is applied. The visit ends with nourishing serum, cuticle oil and customized home-care guidance.

Between-visit care

  • Use a moisturizing foot cream nightly and focus on heels and toes.
  • Wear breathable footwear and change socks after workouts.
  • Avoid grating or shaving calluses at home; opt for a soft file if needed.
  • Rebook every 4–5 weeks for maintenance and polish refresh.
