About this salon
Mars Nails is a private nail studio in the Financial District, founded by Margarita Yutsaytis, an educator and Nailympia judge. It works by appointment, Monday to Friday from 10am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm.
The signature service is the Russian manicure: dry cuticle preparation with an e-file, precise shaping, and gel colour placed close to the cuticle, or a bare-nail finish with no gel. For nails that bend or break, the studio adds a structured hard gel overlay over the natural length, maintained with fills every three to four weeks. Hard gel modeling rebuilds broken corners and corrects shape, and extensions are sculpted in gel on forms rather than built from tips. Acrylic, dip powder and Gel-X are not offered.
Pedicures are done dry, without a soaking tub, with e-file cuticle work and heel smoothing, and finished with gel or left natural. Custom nail art can be added to manicures and pedicures.
