About Amelina Paraiso
Nail Industry Leaders in Education & Innovation
Amelina Paraiso is a professional nail salon, education center, and nail brand built around precision, innovation, and advanced nail care.
We were the first dry manicure and pedicure salon in the United States, introducing a European approach to professional nail care that prioritizes precision, advanced e-file techniques, and meticulous sanitation without soaking the nails or feet in water.
Our approach combines Eastern European nail expertise with modern American standards of safety and sanitation. We specialize in professional e-file manicures and pedicures, advanced nail architecture, natural-looking enhancements, and specialized nail and foot care.
Today, we continue to lead the dry manicure and pedicure movement in the U.S., while developing new techniques, tools, and educational programs for both professionals and clients.
Education & Innovation
Education has always been at the heart of Amelina Paraiso. We train nail professionals in advanced e-file techniques, gel extensions, sculpted French nails, and other professional techniques designed to elevate the quality and precision of their work.
We also develop custom nail bits, implements, and techniques specifically designed around our approach to e-file manicures and pedicures.
Our goal is simple: to raise the standard of the nail industry through education, technique, safety, and innovation.
