OUR TEAM
Russian Claws opened its doors in March 2025 as the very first Russian Manicure Studio in DUMBO. Our mission is simple: deliver the highest-quality, detail-obsessed manicures that this neighborhood has ever seen. We’re proud to bring authentic Russian techniques, precision, and artistry to Brooklyn and even more proud to grow and elevate DUMBO together with you.

Driven by ambition and high standards, she continued her education with top instructors from both New York and Russia, completing extensive advanced trainings. Today, Anastasia not only works with clients but also teaches her team, guiding them in technique, structure, and modern standards of manicure.
