About

Nail Evolution PRO operates in downtown Camas as a DBA of TRI Creative Ventures LLC and is run by two people, Irina Anderson and Sonia Gancheva. Salon services are by appointment only and are booked online through the Book button. Hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm, with the salon closed on Sundays.

Salon work follows the Continental Method, which the business traces to a European tradition beginning in 1868 and says is taught to the same standard used at the salon. Manicures are dry and waterless, with no soaking; cuticle work is done with an e-file, and the salon says it works with dental-grade instruments. The stated aim is a quiet-luxury approach to nail care in a calm room, with unhurried work and results meant to hold until the next appointment. The salon describes itself as the highest-rated nail salon in Camas, citing a 5.0 rating from 42 Google reviews.

Education is a large part of the business. Small-group, hands-on classes are held at the Camas salon, self-paced online courses in English and Russian walk through the Continental Method step by step, and private one-on-one online troubleshooting sessions in English and Russian begin with an intake form. Guest workshops and private training are available for schools, program directors and salon teams, on site or elsewhere, and on-site team training can use the salon's own system or the Gelish system. Washington State Board manicurist exam prep is offered with a Russian-language option. Technicians can send two or three photos by email for a free written mini-review of their work. The Nail Education page displays the credentials State-Licensed Apprenticeship Educator (WA) and Gelish Certified Educator.

Hands-on class days run 10am to 7:30pm, with six hours of instruction, a lunch break, short breaks and time to finish work. Students bring their own model, and the bit and nippers are included and kept by the student. Classes end with a Certificate of Completion from Nail Evolution. They are advanced professional training rather than a licensing program, so hours cannot be applied toward state cosmetology licensing. Listed class prices include a one-day E-file Manicure Intensive at $650, a three-day E-file Manicure 201 at $1,900, a one-day Wet Russian Style Manicure 101 at $650, a one-day Continental Pedicure 101 at $800 and a 30-day Complete Nail Program at $6,500. Classes can be extended, and payment plans of four interest-free installments are available through Afterpay at checkout. A cancellation 30 or more days before the start gets a full refund less a 2.9% processing fee; within 30 days tuition is non-refundable, though one reschedule is free.

Built on the Continental Method, with dry, waterless techniques and education-first training taught to the same standard used at the salon.

The salon describes its setting as a calm room where the work is unhurried.
