Hanna Havrylenko: Pioneering Nail Health and Precision Beauty in the U.S. Market
In an American beauty industry often driven by speed and surface-level appeal, Hanna Havrylenko is leading a quiet revolution—one manicure at a time. A Ukrainian-born, Dallas-based licensed cosmetologist with over a decade of international experience, Hanna is introducing U.S. salon culture to a transformative nail care method known as the European Dry Manicure—and the results are reshaping both client expectations and professional standards.
Highly precise and rooted in hygienic excellence, the European Dry Manicure is a dry, e-file-based technique that forgoes soaking and cutting. Instead, it relies on carefully selected electric bits to clean, exfoliate, and refine the cuticle and nail plate with surgical delicacy. The result? A polished, natural look that lasts up to four weeks without lifting, paired with visibly improved nail health.
“It’s not just about how nails look—it’s about how they grow, how they feel, and how they’re treated,” says Hanna.
In contrast to traditional American manicures—which often prioritize speed and short-term visual results—the European Dry Manicure offers durability, cleanliness, and wellness, making it ideal for clients who value both aesthetics and long-term care. And in Texas, where this technique is still largely unfamiliar, Hanna is among a small, elite group capable of executing it to international standards.
As a senior technician at high-end salons like Best Nails and Rossi Park, Hanna has introduced a new gold standard of service, attracting a discerning clientele from across city lines who seek out her signature technique. But her impact goes far beyond the treatment chair.
A passionate educator and advocate for industry excellence, Hanna uses her platform to train fellow professionals, produce instructional content, and demonstrate sanitation protocols that elevate safety and trust in the field. Her teachings not only help manicurists avoid common pitfalls of improper technique but also empower them to build sustainable, health-first practices.
“Education is everything. You can’t elevate the industry without first raising its foundation,” Hanna notes.
This leadership has earned her international recognition, including a third-place award at the 2024 Nailympia Competitions, one of the most prestigious contests in the global nail community. But Hanna’s ambitions reach further: she envisions founding an educational institute dedicated to advanced manicure techniques, hygiene mastery, and the integration of global best practices into the American salon industry.
Through her artistry and advocacy, Hanna Havrylenko is proving that the future of nail care lies at the intersection of precision, health, and beauty. By championing the European Dry Manicure, she’s not just changing how nails look—she’s redefining what professional nail care means in the U.S.
