About

Gilded Ritual was founded by Sholpan, who moved to the United States in 2018. The business has two studios: one at 149 Reade Street in Tribeca, a private space offering one-on-one appointments, and one at 1210 Third Avenue on the Upper East Side. Both are open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Services are by appointment only, and the salon describes itself as a luxury nail salon.

The Russian manicure is the service the salon is best known for. It uses an electric file, without water, to trim cuticles and clear dead skin around the nail bed, and takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. Prices depend on the technician level: $135 with a Senior, $169 with a Top Master and $245 with a Star. The version with nail extensions adds a lightweight, durable formula on natural-looking nails for added length and structure, and takes about two hours, priced at $227, $313 or $389 by level. Extension refills are usually booked every three to four weeks, depending on growth and style, and cost $195, $253 or $299 by level.

The Japanese naked manicure is a polish-free option. It finishes the nails with mineral-based pastes and gentle buffing, without gel or curing lamps, and takes 75 minutes. It is priced at $130, $140 or $195 by level, and the salon suggests repeating it every three to four weeks. Clients with damaged, brittle or sensitive nails are asked to mention this to their technician before the appointment. The gentlemen's manicure is a 45-minute grooming service covering shaping, cuticle care, buffing and an optional hand massage, with a natural look, subtle shine or an optional coat. It is priced at $85, $90 or $155 by level. The Russian pedicure is a dry treatment that uses an electric file on calluses, finished with Airdry or gel polish, at $150 with a Senior or $175 with a Top Master, and the salon suggests it every four to six weeks.

Packages are available for the Russian manicure and the Russian pedicure in five- and ten-session sizes. Five Russian manicures cost $610 with a Senior technician or $760 with a Top technician, and ten cost $1,215 or $1,520. Five Russian pedicures cost $675 or $787.50, and ten cost $1,350 or $1,575. Packages are valid for one year from purchase, unused sessions expire after that, and purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable. Home visits and gift cards are also offered, and new subscribers receive 15% off their first service, though add-ons are excluded from that discount.

The salon works waterless with e-file techniques, and each visit opens with a consultation before moving through cleansing, cuticle work, shaping, finishing, nourishing and aftercare advice. Instruments go through multi-step cleaning, Barbicide where suitable and autoclave sterilization for compatible reusable tools.

The salon describes its studios as calm, with a luxury interior design.
