About

The studio sits inside Optimal Oasis Salon on Sardis Road in Charlotte. Its menu centers on Russian-style manicure and pedicure work, including E-file (dry) manicures that are done without soaking the hands, along with builder gel and dual form extensions.

Builder gel is applied over natural nails to add thickness while keeping a natural look. Dual form extensions use pre-formed nail molds, and the studio says they last about 4 to 5 weeks with proper care. Retention for the builder gel manicure is listed at 4 to 5 weeks, for the rubber color base manicure at 3 to 4 weeks, and for dual form builder gel on natural nails at 4 to 6 weeks.

Pricing starts at $58 for an E-file manicure and $75 for an E-file pedicure. A Russian manicure with no polish is $99 and takes about 30 minutes; it includes shaping, gentle cuticle cleaning, buffing, lotion and cuticle oil, but no nail coating. Pedicures are described as cosmetic rather than podiatry services.

Clients who have acrylic on their nails are asked to have it removed elsewhere before the appointment, or the visit may need to be rescheduled. The studio does not offer acrylic nails. Gel or hard gel from another salon can be removed for $35 as an add-on to a manicure or pedicure; removal on its own is not offered, and dip and acrylic are not covered.

The studio says it cleans tools in three steps after each use: purifying, an FDA-approved disinfectant, then autoclave sterilization. Its nail art menu includes simple designs, ombre, watercolor and tie-dye, gold foil, stamping and stickers, priced per nail or as an add-on.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm, with Sundays closed. The studio also offers one-on-one beginner training in E-file Russian pedicure (1 day, $890) and E-file Russian manicure (2 days, $1,150); the studio notes these do not count toward hours for a professional license.

The studio works through Russian-style methods, combining E-file and builder gel techniques with cosmetic pedicure services and a stated three-step tool cleaning process.
