Hi, I’m Svetlana—founder of Kissel Beauty, two-time Australian Small Business Champion, nail perfectionist, and your go-to expert for nails so clean and precise they should come with a warning label.

I started this business mid-pandemic (because why not launch a luxury service during
a global crisis?), and within five years, I went from being a home-based tech in my spare bedroom to owning a high-end salon in Docklands that provides the best Russian manicures, pedicures and luxury touches that leaves you feeling refreshed and ready
to slay the day.

Cleanliness is a non-negotiable. Disinfection, medical grade sterilisation and immaculate surfaces, Kissel Beauty sparkles in more ways than one. Your safety is our priority, not an option.

Internationally trained by the best of the best, I’ve invested in advanced education year after year to stay ahead of trends, techniques and safety standards. At Kissel Beauty,
I don’t believe in “good enough”, I believe in mastery.

I don’t just do nails. I create little moments of magic. Book in and pamper yourself, because you deserve the best nails in the world.

Dual-Form Extensions

Durable, lightweight, and natural-looking nail extensions, with faster application, reduced filing, enhanced strength, and long-lasting, flawless results.

From minimalist accents to intricate designs, nail art is a thoughtful way to express your unique style. Whether you prefer a subtle French detail or bold 3D elements, each design is customised to reflect your mood and aesthetic.

Nail Art

The Russian manicure is known for its meticulous technique, using an electric file to clean the cuticle area with unmatched accuracy. This results in a cleaner, more polished look that traditional methods can’t achieve.

Exceptional
Precision

The technique creates an ultra-smooth, seamless surface that allows gel polish to be applied close to the cuticle. This gives a sleek, “grown-out free” look for longer, making nails look freshly done even weeks later.

Flawless Finish

Because the nail and cuticle area are prepped so thoroughly, polish adheres better and lasts significantly longer — often up to 3–4 weeks without chipping or lifting.

Longer-Lasting Results

Take a look at some of my work and get inspired by flawless results.

Absolutely obsessed with my Russian manicure! The precision, attention to detail, and overall care were next level. My nails have never looked this clean
and flawless. The cuticle work was so gentle yet incredibly thorough, and the shape is perfect. It honestly looks like my natural nails were just magically improved. Highly recommend if you want that sleek, polished look that lasts!

Lisa Arutyunova

No doubt, best nail service in Melbourne. Always friendly and cozy atmosphere. Russian manicure and pedicure by Lana are over expectations. You’ll find not only professionalism and best in class quality of the service itself, but also great attention to hygiene and sustainability
of materials used. Cannot be even compared to anything else in the city.

Galina Novikova

Best manicure in the city, I’ve been doing my nails at Kissel Beauty for almost 2 years and I am always impressed by the quality and service

Dina Fedotova

I had the most incredible experience at Kissel Beauty! The attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the care Svetlana puts into her work is next level. My nails have never felt so healthy. She takes the time to make sure everything is perfect and genuinely cares about the health of your nails, not just the final look. The Russian manicure was immaculate, and the results lasted so much longer than any manicure I’ve had before. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality, precision, and a touch of luxury.
