A manicure that respects the natural nail, in central Athens
At LATROS we do not just do manicures. We do manicures that leave your nails better than we found them. Every service is designed around the health of the natural nail, with no compromise on the result.
A manicure in central Athens with the Russian technique, a reinforced base and top-quality products.
Why a reinforced base and not a plain one? Because we never remove the previous layer completely. With an e-file and a carbide bit we take off only the colour and leave the base intact. Your nails are not worn down, they are protected.
Manicure prices
Three options, one philosophy. Every service includes a Russian manicure and hydration, because care is not an extra, it is the base.
Gel manicure with reinforced base€251 hour
The core of what we do: the Russian manicure, also known as the manicure with a reinforced base.
Thorough cuticle work with a dry manicure, a reinforced base with top-quality products, and a light rebuild tailored to the needs of your natural nail.
Velvety exfoliation with a scrub and gentle hydration with a whipped moisturising cream.
Why only a reinforced base and not a plain one? Because we care about the health of your natural nail.
The nail plate is like puff pastry: it is made of many thin layers.
Every time a file touches it, it loses a layer.
At Latros we never remove the previous layer of product completely, so the natural nail is not worn down at all.
Instead we remove the colour with an e-file and a gentle carbide bit (which does not burn), leaving the base intact.
In effect the manicure gets a light maintenance, so the same surface is never filed twice.
This way your nails are not worn down by repeated manicures. On the contrary, they are protected.

Frequently asked questions
Does gel polish damage your nails?
Not the way we do it. We never remove the previous layer completely: with an e-file and a gentle carbide bit we take off only the colour, so the same surface is never filed twice and the natural nail stays protected.
How long does a reinforced-base manicure last?
Up to a month, depending on how fast your nails grow and on care at home.
What if a nail breaks or lifts?
We offer a free local repair within 3 days of your appointment. After that, a broken nail repair costs €5.
