True luxury is quiet.
At The Nail Evolution, we create beauty in silence-
a calm, refined space where clients can rest
and professionals can work with focus and precision.
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.
I have spent over 18 years in the nail industry as a licensed nail technician, international trainer, and educator. My journey includes working backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Moscow and being selected as one of a very limited number of instructors representing Harmony (Gelish) Russia internationally.
Today, my role has evolved. I no longer work as a hands-on salon technician – my full focus is now on education, mentorship, and advanced nail training. Alongside this, I am developing a new educational project for Russian-speaking professionals – OSNOVA Education – created to help bridge language, system, and professional standards gaps in international nail education.
At The Nail Evolution, excellence has never been about one pair of hands – it is about a standard. Every nail artist here has been trained under my direct supervision from day one, following the same discipline, safety protocols, and uncompromising quality.
One of them is my daughter, Sonia, who has spent over two years in intensive training and professional practice. She proudly continues the level of service that defines our salon – the same level our clients know, trust, and love.
That is why, no matter whose hands you are in, your experience at The Nail Evolution always reflects the same philosophy, precision, and respect for the craft.
Wherever You Are in Your Nail Journey - Start Here, Then Go Further.
Choosing the right course means choosing your future.
When you invest in expert-level training, you don’t just improve your skills – you redefine your professional worth.
Proven Methods, No Guesswork
This course brings together the most advanced training from across the US, Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. I’ve tested and refined every technique, so you can focus on what works instead of wasting time on trial and error.
From Skills to Strategy
You’ll learn not only how to deliver flawless services, but why they work – and how to position yourself as a premium professional in any setting.
Education That Elevates Your Value
High-quality training builds confidence. It sets you apart and empowers you to charge fair, premium prices for work that delivers visible results.
Certified Instruction, Not a Side Hobby
As a licensed educator, I bring structure, accountability, and professional teaching methods – far beyond the average “tips and tricks.”
Clients Notice the Difference
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about treatments that improve the condition of nails and skin, creating results your clients see, feel, and return for.
A Clear Path Into the Industry (APPRENTICESHIP ENROLLMENT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED)
After your foundation training, you can step into The Nail Evolution Apprenticeship Program: a licensed, structured pathway where theory is provided by Atarashii and practice is mastered in our salon. From day one, apprentices work under direct mentorship – safely, precisely, and with real clients.
“Our program is selective. We welcome only those apprentices who are committed to discipline, respect for detail, and excellence.”
Invest in Excellence
Our training goes beyond the basics of the standard curriculum.
It’s not just about nails – it’s about precision, discipline, and mastery.
Premium training creates premium professionals.
And premium professionals attract premium clients.
“The intensity and discipline of this training truly surprised me. It gave me a deep respect for the standards behind every service here.”

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!"
