Questions, Answered
Frequently
Asked.
What is a Russian manicure?
A Russian manicure is a waterless, electric-file (e-file) technique that precisely removes dead skin and cuticle, leaving an exceptionally clean, long-lasting result. Done by a trained master, it is safe and gentle on the nail plate.
How long do lash extensions last?
With proper aftercare, lash extensions typically last 4–6 weeks. We recommend touch-ups every 2–3 weeks to maintain the full, dense look.
Do you offer same-time nails and lashes?
Yes. Two or three of our master technicians work simultaneously so you can complete a full nails-toes-lashes appointment in a single seat — designed for the time-conscious Manhattan client.
How do I book an appointment?
The easiest way is to call us at (646) 995-8485. We are open daily 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM at 126 West 25th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 1 day before the beginning of your appointment or you may be charged a cancellation fee of $50.00. Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the artist's day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients that provide less than 24 hours notice will be charged a cancellation fee. In case of a short notice (2-3 hours prior to your appt) or no show at all a client will be charged a full price of the appointment that's been scheduled.
Are your products and tools safe?
Absolutely. We use hospital-grade sterilization, premium gels, and silk/faux-mink lash fibers from trusted suppliers. Hygiene is our highest priority.
Do you offer brow lamination and henna?
Yes — we offer shaping, lamination, tint, and henna. Each appointment is tailored to your face shape and lifestyle.
Is there parking nearby?
Street parking and several paid lots are available within a few blocks of our Chelsea studio. The 1, F, M, N, R, and W subway lines are all close by.
Our services
Service Questions.
Russian manicure
How long does a Russian manicure appointment take?
The service is listed at 75–120 minutes. That unhurried window covers consultation and shaping, e-file cuticle work, the gel or natural finish, and the final details. Learn more on the Russian manicure page.
How long do the results of a Russian manicure last?
Because gel is applied almost at the cuticle line, regrowth stays invisible far longer — our regulars choose the technique for 3–4 weeks of flawless wear. Details are on the Russian manicure page.
Is a Russian manicure safe for natural nails?
Done correctly, it is one of the gentlest techniques there is — the e-file touches only dead skin, never the living nail plate. Our masters are trained specifically in this approach, as described on the Russian manicure page.
Can I get a Russian manicure without gel polish?
Yes. The e-file cuticle work also suits a natural finish with strengthening care instead of gel. Both finishes are described on the Russian manicure page.
Russian pedicure
What makes a Russian pedicure different?
It is a fully waterless pedicure built on precise e-file cuticle work, careful nail shaping, callus and dry-skin removal, and a gel or natural polish finish — the same precision as our manicure, adapted for feet. See the Russian pedicure page.
How long does a Russian pedicure take?
The service is listed at 60–90 minutes, covering the detailed preparation, shaping, skin work, and your selected finish. More detail is on the Russian pedicure page.
Is a Russian pedicure hygienic?
The appointment is fully waterless and performed with medical-grade tools, and every instrument is sterilized and sealed beforehand. Read about the approach on the Russian pedicure page.
Who is a Russian pedicure for?
It suits anyone who values neat cuticle work and attention to calluses or dry skin — effortless for sandals season, and just as sensible as year-round foot care. See who it fits on the Russian pedicure page.
Eyelash extensions
Which eyelash extension styles do you offer?
We work across classic, hybrid, volume, and mega-volume sets — from feather-light definition to a much fuller result, each mapped to your eye shape. Explore options on the eyelash extensions page.
How long does an eyelash extension appointment take?
The service is listed at 90–150 minutes, allowing time for the style consultation, custom mapping, careful hand application, and a final review. Details are on the eyelash extensions page.
How often should I schedule lash touch-ups?
Touch-ups are typically planned every 2–3 weeks to maintain the shape and fullness of your original set. Our aftercare approach is described on the eyelash extensions page.
What fibers are used for the extensions?
Each set is hand-applied with premium silk or faux mink fibers selected for the effect you choose. Read more on the eyelash extensions page.
Brow lamination
What brow services does KRASIVO offer?
The brow menu includes shaping, precision waxing, lamination, tint, henna, and bespoke mapping — combined around your preferred result. See the full menu on the brow lamination page.
Who is brow lamination for?
It is a strong option for unruly or unevenly directed brows, or for anyone wanting fuller-looking texture within a low-maintenance routine. Learn more on the brow lamination page.
How long does a brow appointment take?
The service is listed at 30–60 minutes, including consultation, bespoke mapping, the selected shaping or color services, and final refinement. Details are on the brow lamination page.
Can my brows look natural rather than dramatic?
Yes. Your appointment can focus on softly groomed, fuller texture — or add tint or henna for stronger definition. The choice is made with you during consultation, as explained on the brow lamination page.
Same-time nails + lashes
Which services can I combine in a same-time appointment?
Listed combinations pair a new lash set or lash touch-up with either a Russian gel manicure or a Russian gel pedicure. See the combinations on the same-time nails and lashes page.
How does booking a same-time appointment work?
Choose the same-time option that matches the nail and lash services you need — online booking shows the available combinations for one coordinated visit. The same-time nails and lashes page explains the format.
How long does a same-time appointment take?
The service is listed at 90–150 minutes, depending on the combination of nail and lash work selected. More detail is on the same-time nails and lashes page.
Does working in parallel mean each service gets less attention?
No. Two or three dedicated masters perform their specialties simultaneously, and each service keeps its own consultation, detailed work, final check, and care guidance. Read how it works on the same-time nails and lashes page.
