Best nail salon in Pittsburgh! I miss this place so much and wish I still lived in Pittsburgh so I could go here again. I heard about this place from a friend and am sooo glad I decided to give it a visit. The interior is beautiful, brightly lit, and feels very luxurious. All the technicians are really skilled and also super sweet and friendly. They're good with designs so if you're looking for something more complex, this is the place to get your manicure done! The total can end up being pretty pricey, definitely on the pricier end compared the other nail salons in Shadyside, but I think it's totally worth it, because the whole experience is excellent and they do a stunning job. You really feel pampered as soon as you step into the salon. I got a black french tip gel manicure and loved how it turned out. I miss these nails :') They also lasted soo long and never chipped even after growing out. Definitely call ahead to schedule your appointment!
Nathan is the best- I have been going to him for years and am always so satisfied with my services. Very clean and very reasonable prices. I am here every 2 weeks without fail!
Super impressed with this studio. My nail artist, Nathan, was amazing! He provided a great experience from start to finish - my feet feel amazing and my nails look incredible. The pedicure experience was wonderful because he really took his time. This was just the self care I needed. I will definitely come back - great service and the salon was super clean, organized, and not crowded. Just as a heads up, salon policy is if you want your own nail file and buff you have to buy it for an extra $5. Otherwise you can use the salon's that has been used on other peoples nails.
This if by far my favorite nail salon in Pittsburgh! I have tried so many salons and Brush Nail Studio is the best. The salon is so clean and cute. Also all the employees are so kind. They are capable of doing any nail design you desire, you just need to make sure you note you want a design when you schedule your appointment. They are always so busy as well so an appointment is a must!! They add a small fee for first time customers as you get your own file and buffer to bring back when you get your nails done. This is the first place I have ever been to that does this for sanitary purposes. Now if you try to go to another place you'll be grossed out that they use the same tools on everyone. Really can't say enough good things about this place!
I've spent a long time looking for a real quality nail salon in the East End. Brush is that and then some! Super conscientious technicians, lovely ambiance, appointments are actually honored (no waiting 20/30 minutes after the scheduled time) and my nails look perfect every time. (Extra shot-out to Nate who is amazing!!)
So sad dip day 10. Unfortunately, the salon does not know how to do authentic dip. I have never had a problem like this before with dip; the nail bed is brittle & polish is weak. Dip should last at least 3-4 weeks. This salon's dip is more consistent of gel in that it strips the nails bed and does not last and chips/peels by day 9-10. Unfortunately, the salon does not know how to do authentic dip. I have been going to dip masters for years and never had a weak nail bed from dip nor a chip after 4 weeks. The quality of the work and the concern for fungal contamination rates this place at 1 star, which is heartbreaking since I never give 1 stars :(
Let me preface this review by saying that I get gel manicures a lot. My average gel lasts 3-4 weeks under normal wear. Everyone was very friendly which was a positive. They had good hygiene practices especially with COVID. I had an appointment for a Saturday, and I opted for a matte finish gel with gold foiling on my ring finger. The same night, the top layer on BOTH ring fingers started peeling badly. I made an appointment for that Tuesday to have them fixed. Drove all the way back to shadyside, paid for parking, and tipped again - all for them to peel AGAIN on Thursday. I am also frustrated because I asked if they would hold up better just doing a glitter polish instead of the foiling again, but was assured I wouldn't have the same problem again. It hasn't even been a week and I already feel that I wasted my money. I have never had a gel manicure hold up so terribly. Very disappointed and will not be back. If you want a long lasting manicure, I suggest looking elsewhere.
The best nails I've ever had. Nathan was meticulous and I appreciated it so much. My nails seriously looked perfect.
The experience at the salon was great, I was seen on time and had a glass of wine while enjoying my pedicure. Leon was awesome to talk to and my pedicure looks great.

Brush Nail Studio was an exciting experience. It was my first time visiting and I really enjoyed how my nails turned out. She took her time with me and explained why my nails were the way they were, which I really appreciated. She also helped me pick the perfect color for my skin tone. She was very knowledgeable about warm and cool tones. As someone who already pays attention to what colors complement my skin, I was impressed that she picked up on that so quickly and guided me toward shades that truly worked for me. The inside was super busy, which tells me this place gets a lot of attention, especially being so close to the school. Despite that, I never felt rushed. I definitely plan to keep coming back every few weeks to maintain my nails. It is exciting to finally feel excited again about getting my nails done by someone who clearly knows what they are doing. read more
My daughter and I go here together to get manicures and pedicures. We sit in adjacent chairs and chat while they do our nails. I keep my nails short because I am an avid gardener and forager. I like to get dip nails with a pale cat eye effect over them. Since I am really rough on my nails they know that I need an extra coat. I can go three weeks without a nail chip. I will send a picture of my fingernails 10 days after they were done AND after several days of digging in my garden. read more

First time, I was so impressed. Connie and Jimmy worked on my nails and they did a phenomenal job. I'm definitely a little detail oriented and I couldn't find one issue with the beautiful job they did. Additionally they were kind and talkative but if I didn't want to talk it would've been fine as well. Honestly I just needed a pick me up and they delivered in a wonderful way. read more

Love this place so much! I've gotten both gel and SNS here and both were fantastic. All of the people who work here are really kind and friendly. Also this place is super CLEAN! Definitely the cleanest nail salon I've been to in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is fun with good music, music videos, and a plethora of free drink choices. Thanks for everything, Brush Nails! See you again soon :) read more

Loved this place! Super clean and such a welcoming atmosphere. Connie did a great job on my gel manicure and was super nice and chatty the whole appointment. I loved the upbeat music and free wine to top it all off! Definitely my new go to COVID cleanliness update: Got a manicure for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and I could not be more impressed with their safety measures. Temperature check and washed hands when I entered the studio, everyone in masks, super clean, and plexiglass barriers between me and the tech made me feel super safe. Shout out to Jimmy for an amazing mani and experience! read more

The best nail salon I've ever been to- I've lived all over the country/ the world, so that's saying a lot!Jimmy is amazing and his wife is also so sweet. I started getting dip manicures for the first time and my nails have never been healthier! Highly recommend read more

Update: Jimmy is the best. Decided to try a dip gel manicure. It's AMAZING!!!!! Highly recommend. I'm not sure I'll go back. The photos of the dip gel nail color is the dark maroon with the grey sweater. His service was more than excellent. I previously came here and received a pedicure I was dissatisfied with, the details are irrelevant because I went back, and it was excellent. First, the owner reached out to me, and offered another mani pedi because I was unhappy with the pedicure service I received. His offer was very generous and I was not sure to accept because I was worried he wouldn't be happy with me being there and that it would be awkward or uncomfortable. But, I decided to accept the offer, and I came back. I'm very happy I did. I was afraid it would be awkward or uncomfortable, and he was so kind and friendly, it wasn't at all! He also seems very genuine and not the type of person who would say rude things after I left. Because of that, I decided I will definitely come back in a month. Details on the pedicure: Excellent callus removal, he used a scrub past my ankles up to my shin & then used lotion. He applied the colors perfectly. Details on the manicure: I've been to many places in Pittsburgh, and this is definitely the best gel manicure I have gotten. The shape of the nails is perfect and the color is applied very well. It also lasts the 2 weeks. However, if the gel does chip within 2 weeks you're guaranteed to get it fixed for free. This is an excellent policy. I'd advise if you do not like something the way it is being done, just voice your opinion. Or if it your first time going to brush nail salon, make an appointment with Jimmy that way if something happens you don't particularly like, if you tell him, he will respect your opinion and do it exactly the way you like! That way you won't leave dissatisfied and also unhappy that you weren't in an environment that allowed you to voice your opinion. P.S. sorry my feet aren't pretty lo read more

This salon is clean and welcoming! They squeezed me in on a Sunday and everyone was nice and obviously cared about their work. I hate when nail techs rush through and they did not do that at all. I was the last one to leave and they still took their time and made sure I was satisfied. I will def be coming back! read more
Connie and her team here at Brush are absolutely amazing. I go here for everything from a classic gel manicure to 'birthday-bash' lavish. They have a two week policy where if anything chips or peels or goes wrong within two weeks of getting your nails done, you can go back and have it fixed at no charge. There's complimentary French-Pressed Coffee, Red and White Wine, and cucumber/lemon water for customers. Connie usually has Dunkin donuts or candy in the shop as well. The location is very ideal, as you can park on the street or in the garage nearby. Also... They only take cash/Venmo tips! read more
I was looking for a new nail salon after moving. When I called they were nice and able to fit me in at 2:00 on a Sunday (same day ). I got a pedicure and dip manicure. They offer expresso, water, candy, and wine at no extra charge. John and Jimmy were very skilled and time conscious; I was done in two hours! The staff are amazing and even helped me find a lash extension shop . There's no stone left unturned here; from the extras in the bathroom to the consideration the nail artists take with helping you pick colors. I made a follow up for three weeks--very impressed and best of all my nails look and feel great!! read more

Unfortunately I did not have the best experience here. I had made a reservation the day before based off the great reviews I had read. When I arrived it was a little chaotic but I was told I was ready to go sit in the chair for my pedicure. I waited with my feet in the water for about 45-50 minutes before I couldn't take it any more and took them out. During the 45-50 minutes no one checked in to see how I was doing or to inform me of the time delay. Eventually someone came over and told me that they were running behind due to a wedding party being 2 hours late. In my opinion if a client(s) is(are) 2 hours late, I don't believe they should still get priority when they finally show up. The staff who did my nails after were very apologetic but by that point I was not enjoying my time. As someone who rarely gets their nails done, I will not be returning due to the poor service. The quality of my nails were fine but being disregarded for an hour when I had an appointment was not ok. read more

Coming here has actually improved my life. I'm hard to convince of change but the friendly professional and skilled staff convinced me of the benefits of gel manicures and pedicures. I followed their advice and never went back to regular. The bathroom was so attentive and felt like a spa! I spent probably too much time in there with the mints, extra soaps etc. It's the little attention to the customer's needs that separates Brush Nail from the other nail salons. Their staff pay attention to detail as well on their work. Skilled in their craft they make your visit feel like a family thanksgiving. Warm, welcoming and full of joy and lau read more

I moved to Pittsburgh just shy of 6 months ago & we all know that finding a new nail salon that you love and trust is difficult. But I'm here to tell you that Brush is . They do it ALL. They can do the crazy designs that you want or give you a flawless, classic French manicure. They don't take forever but they absolutely take their time to make sure they are doing perfect work. Their pedicure chairs are amazing. The entire atmosphere is the calming and glamorous at the same time. Every technician there is talented and sweet and amazing. Try it. You won't be upset. I promise. read more
