Studio Onyx – Nailing Luxury with the Coast’s first Russian Manicure Salon at Gosford
Written by: Bec Page
When Central Coast nail technician Sarah Findlay gained her formal training qualification in nailing the art of nails, she knew she’d only just scratched the polished surface.
While the standard training in the Cert III had given her the good basics, it also put her on a mission to chase the next-level skills and know-how to offer the nailbeds of the Coast the most phenomenally flawless manicures and pedicures they would ever have.
What had started as a fun hobby soon became a determined passion. Sarah sought out the most experienced Russian nail technicians in Sydney to take her under their wings and share their meticulous knowledge of their world-class services.
Before long, she opened the first and only salon on the Central Coast to offer advanced Russian Manicures and Pedicures, and until now, Studio Onyx had been a Coastie beauty secret just waiting to be shared. Trust us, you’ll be busting to get your nails down to Gosford Central Plaza to find out how incredible your nails can look and feel.
So, what is a Russian Manicure? Fast becoming the latest must-have service in accessible luxury beauty, the Russian e-file manicure is driven by health, safety and hygiene, and a very precise attention to detail.
“Everything is all about a cleaner, more detailed service. We meticulously remove all dead skin from around the cuticle and side walls around the nail,” Sarah told Coasties.

“It’s not just a beautiful, clean, aesthetic look – the fact we can get so much closer to the cuticle means the enhancements also last longer and are of a really high quality.”
Kind of like comparing an old, beaten-up car to a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, in that both will get you from A to B, it’s the quality, experience, and trust that you can place in a Russian manicure at Studio Onyx that sets it apart in value.
“So many people are scared because of the over-filing in nail bars and improper and sometimes unhygienic use of tools in nail bars,” Sarah said.
With a solid background climbing the corporate ladder in the beauty and medical device industries, Sarah knows her game and with the latest, state-of-the-art medical grade autoclave sterilisation, you know she’s serious about safety and hygiene. In fact, she’s also a Russian E-file Educator and supplier of nail tools within the industry, making her a serious leader in the industry.

“My clients walk out with the best, long-lasting nails they’ve ever had, and it’s addictive,” Sarah told Coasties.
Her reviews are scattered with words like ‘perfect,’ luxury’ and ‘amazing,’ but it’s the way she’s passionately turning the industry’s reputation on its head that’s most impressive.
A quick squiz of reviews from clients like Courtney tell us familiar tales turned good: “After a bad experience at a nail bar… I had sworn off anyone touching my fingernails… Sarah put me at ease, explained everything thoroughly and empathetically.”
Another client, Sar, shared that she regularly gets high-quality, luxurious, long-lasting Russian manicures done by an “absolute professional;” Chantel shared she hadn’t trusted anyone with her nails for four years after a bad experience until she found Studio Onyx; and Pearl said her nails had never been healthier, or looked so good.
“I’m trained to understand the anatomy of the nail and I walk through and explain every step of the process because I really care about nail health, as well as giving my clients the most beautiful nails they’ve ever had,” Sarah said.
Need we say more? It’s clear Studio Onyx is nailing the game and bringing world-class luxury to the Coast, one finger at a time.
The team at Studio Onyx offer both Russian Manicures and Russian Pedicures by appointment only from the Studio located at Shop 16A 153 Mann Street, Gosford, inside the Gosford Central Plaza.
