Russian Manicures: What is it? Why is it controversial?

If you’re a nail tech, you’ve probably heard of the Russian cuticle manicure. This style of nail art has become increasingly popular over the past few years, as many clients looking for a more luxurious and detailed look have been opting for this style. But what exactly is a Russian cuticle manicure, and why is it so controversial?

A Russian cuticle manicure is a type of manicure that involves cutting the cuticle on the nail to create more intricate designs. This style of manicure looks much different than the traditional version, as it involves more intricate and detailed designs. Many people love them because they look more luxurious.
However, while they look amazing, the controversy comes from people who are concerned about the safety of the manicure. Since the cuticle is cut in order to create these designs, many worry that this could cause infection or damage to the nail. Some people have even reported that they were injured during their manicures.

So if you’re a nail tech, it's important to be aware of what a Russian cuticle manicure involves and to talk to your clients beforehand so they understand the risks and are comfortable with it. If a client is hesitant, you can always offer alternative designs like nail art or simply recommend a plain coat of polish.
In conclusion, the Russian cuticle manicure looks stunning, but you should always discuss the risks with your clients beforehand. This way, you'll be sure to keep their nails looking their best, and keep them safe!
