WE BRING THE QUALITY

We often notice people pausing outside, reading our signs, and wondering – “What exactly is a Russian manicure?”
It’s a refined, meticulous approach to nail care – rooted in precision, discipline, and a deep respect for detail. We specialize in dry, waterless techniques that demand time, advanced training, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Every service is thoughtfully structured and highly detailed – nothing is rushed, nothing is overlooked. Our focus is not just on how your nails look today, but on how they remain healthy and flawless tomorrow, weeks beyond, and for the years to come.
We never rely on shortcuts or careless techniques. Every movement is intentional, every step is designed to protect the natural nail and skin. Safety is not a promise here – it is the very heart of our craft.
Our clients choose us for lasting beauty, refined care, and results that speak softly yet unmistakably. This is where quality comes first – always.
Luxury isn’t loud. It’s quiet confidence, crafted with intention.
And in our hands, beauty doesn’t live for weeks — it lives for lifetimes.

MEET IRINA ANDERSON
“Our pricing isn’t ‘expensive.’ It’s simply what true quality, mastery, and safety are worth. Beauty created with care is never about shortcuts — and it should be valued as such.”

I have spent over 18 years in the nail industry – as a technician, an international trainer, and an educator. My journey includes working backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Moscow, leading international trainings for Gelish (Harmony), and guiding hundreds of students to professional success.

At The Nail Evolution, excellence is not about one pair of hands — it’s about a standard. Every technician here is my direct student, trained by me from day one. That’s why no matter whose hands you’re in, your service always reflects the same discipline, safety, and uncompromising quality.

CLIENT VOICES:

"I kept hearing more and more about Russian manicures and saw these techniques on TikTok and Instagram, but I never had the chance to see them in person. So when I found out there was a highly experienced Russian nail technician in Camas, WA, I booked an appointment right away—and I’m so glad I did!The difference between our approach and the Russian technique is huge, both in quality and precision. After experiencing it firsthand, I knew I had to learn more. I asked Irina about her classes, and she was kind enough to offer one.At first, I signed up for just one day, but I quickly realized that wasn’t enough, so I added two more. Initially, I thought the class was expensive, but once I started working, I saw how quickly my investment paid off!I’m so grateful to have someone like Irina here. Even though I had to drive an hour and a half, it was still much better than flying to another state! The training was clear, detailed, and absolutely worth it."

"Recently, I traveled to Russia and had the opportunity to experience a Russian manicure for the first time. I instantly fell in love with this technique! After returning to the United States, I started searching for a nail salon that offered Russian-style manicures, and that’s when I found Irina in Camas, WA. I can confidently say she is one of the best Russian nail artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting!"

"Hands down, the best!Irina and her salon are an absolute hidden gem, and I wish I had found her sooner! The first time I booked with her, I made the mistake of thinking I should keep looking for someone cheaper and faster. Big mistake. In the end, I completely ruined my nails and had to come back to Irina to fix them.Now, Irina has a team, and I’ve had my nails done by both of her girls (there are two of them), and every single time, my nails have turned out so much better than in a regular salon. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else.Irina and her team are simply the best!"
