About Short & Chic Nails

I use the Russian manicure technique to clean up your cuticle area with an e-file. It creates a neat, intentional canvas that makes even the shortest natural nails look clean and polished, giving you a beautiful result that lasts longer.

I am Maitri. I believe that nails are a form of self-expression, and for me, a session is like therapy—plenty of gossip and great vibes. I love making short nails look just as bold and artistic as longer sets, ensuring you leave my chair feeling ready to take on anything.
