Your appointment
What a visit to Zayka feels like
Four unhurried steps, the same care whether you come in for a polish change or a full set.
Settle in
You are welcomed, seated, and given a moment to arrive. We look at your nails together and talk through the shape, length, and finish you have in mind.
Shape and prepare
Careful shaping and cuticle work come first. Good preparation is what makes colour sit cleanly and last longer.
The craft
Polish, gel, structure, extensions, or hand-painted art, applied with patience and a steady hand.
Finish and aftercare
A final check under good light, simple aftercare advice, and a massage or paraffin add-on if you chose one.

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.
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.
