Services

What is a Russian manicure?

A Russian manicure is a dry manicure that uses an electric file to carefully refine the cuticle area. The result is a very clean, precise edge that grows out neatly. At Zayka it takes about 75 minutes.

What is the difference between a gel manicure and a structured gel manicure?

A gel manicure adds high-shine colour that wears for weeks. A structured gel manicure builds a reinforced gel apex over your natural nail, which adds strength for nails that bend, peel, or break easily. It takes about 80 minutes.

How long does a gel manicure last?

Gel colour typically wears well for two to three weeks, depending on your nail growth and daily routine.

Do you remove gel or extensions from another salon?

Yes. Gel Removal is a 20 minute soak-off with a light buff, and it is complimentary when you book it with a new service.

How is nail art priced?

Simple nail art such as French tips, fine lines, or minimal accents is priced per nail and adds about 10 to 20 minutes. Custom hand-painted designs are created with you in the chair, so time and price depend on the design.

How often do extensions need a fill?

Most guests book an Extension Fill every two to four weeks to rebalance the set as the natural nail grows.

Studio and care

How do you keep tools and stations clean?

Stations are cleaned and reset between every guest, reusable tools are cleaned and disinfected after each use, and single-use items are never reused.

Is Zayka Nail Studio locally owned?

Yes. Zayka is an independent, locally owned nail studio on Union Street in San Francisco.
