The Precision Specialist
Genesis
Health-forward nail care, executed with surgical precision. For those who want the cleanest possible work.
01
Russian Manicure
Dry Technique · E-File Precision
Performed completely dry, no soaking. A professional e-file meticulously refines the nail plate and cuticle area with exceptional precision, leaving an impossibly clean edge, flawless adhesion, and color that holds far longer between appointments. The technique nail professionals choose for themselves.
02
Japanese Manicure
Pi Shi Method
Not about color, but about the health of your natural nail. A mineral paste of beeswax, keratin, and silica is worked into the plate for a naturally luminous, high-gloss finish. No polish needed.
03
Dry & Japanese Pedicure
No Soak · Maximum Precision
Traditional soaks soften skin unevenly and spread bacteria. The dry pedicure skips the soak entirely. Professional tools and dry exfoliation for a cleaner, more precise, longer-lasting result. The Japanese pedicure adds a Pi Shi mineral treatment for naturally glossy, restored toenails.
The Creative
Savannah
Expressive artistry, custom design, and Gel X. For those who want their nails to make a statement.
ADD-ONS
Gel X Extensions
04
Soft Gel · Natural Feel
Full-coverage soft gel extensions, the look of length without the heaviness of acrylic. Flexible, lightweight, and removed gently without damage. A refined artistic eye on every set.
Nail Art
05
Hand-Painted · Editorial
Savannah approaches nail art the way a painter approaches a canvas: intention, detail, point of view. From delicate line work to 3D florals and bold editorial designs, every set is custom. Bring a vision, or trust the process.
Botanical Pedicure
06
Sensory Ritual · Citrus · Jojoba
A signature sensory experience. A warm citrus and botanical soak, custom exfoliation blends, a cuticle ritual, and a deeply hydrating jojoba massage. Every detail chosen to make a pedicure genuinely restorative.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered
What is a Russian manicure?
A Russian manicure is a completely dry, waterless technique that uses a precision e-file instead of soaking to clean deep around the cuticle. The result is an exceptionally neat finish, stronger polish adhesion, and color that lasts noticeably longer. At Cio Bela in Oak Ridge North, Genesis performs Russian manicures for clients across The Woodlands who want the cleanest, longest-lasting work.
How long does a Russian manicure last?
A Russian manicure typically lasts three to four weeks, longer than a standard gel manicure, because the dry e-file preparation creates a cleaner surface for the polish to bond to. It lasts longest with daily cuticle oil and gloves for dishes and cleaning. At Cio Bela, Genesis focuses on precise prep for maximum wear.
Does a Russian manicure damage your nails?
No, not when it is performed by a trained specialist. Done correctly, a Russian manicure is gentle: it refines the cuticle area without over-filing the natural nail, which supports long-term nail health rather than harming it. The risk only comes from an inexperienced hand, which is why Genesis is trained in advanced dry technique with nail health as the priority.
What is Gel X, and is it better than acrylic?
Gel X is a full-coverage soft gel extension that gives you length with a lighter, more flexible, more natural feel than acrylic. It is gentler on the natural nail because it needs less filing and soaks off cleanly instead of being drilled down, which is why many people switch to it to grow out acrylic damage. Acrylic is harder and suits extreme lengths, but Gel X is the healthier everyday choice. At Cio Bela, Savannah applies Gel X with a refined artistic eye.
Do you offer waterless (dry) pedicures?
Yes. Cio Bela specializes in dry, waterless pedicures that skip the soak for a cleaner, more precise, more hygienic result that lasts longer. Our Japanese pedicure adds a Pi Shi mineral treatment for naturally glossy toenails, and the Botanical Pedicure is a full sensory ritual. All are performed by appointment in Oak Ridge North.
