The service is amazing! My nails were beautiful and didn't take too much time, the nail tech was super nice, and they weren't very expensive either. read more

Decent nail salon, nothing fancy which is exactly what I was looking for when I initially came here. Nail club II is located on Forbes Avenue in the heart of squirrel Hill. It may be difficult sometimes to find parking but if you know how to park you should have a problem. I also have not had a problem MAS making an appointment ahead of time although I do call about a wk ahead of when I want to schedule some thing. I have come here four times and my manicures have been decent. I return because of the great price. $35 for a fill-in $45 for an acrylic set, and $50 for dip manicure. However you are paying for what you get. I have tried doing designs here twice and both times, mistakes were made despite me showing the picture and keeping it open on my phone. The language barrier also didn't help. At the end, I did get the design I wanted both times but definitely nowhere as nice and clean as it was in the picture that I showed. I would recommend coming here just for simple 1-2 color manicures without designs. They take credit card without an extra fee which is great. The people that work there are very kind. I will probably still be returning but only when I want simpler styles. read more

Nail Club II - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The last time I went John did a great job my nails looked great and lasted forever. This time I went for a fill and it cost me the same as my original full set. I should not have paid 50.00 for a fill, especially when a lady said I would only be charged for the fill since I had an appointment and had to wait. I know that a fill costs 40.00. I also had a guy who doesn't even work there doing my nails, he was nice enough but when I had my full set John, I was in and out in less than an hour. Today I was on a similar time schedule and I was in there an hour and 41 minutes. So I am a little disappointed. It seems as though the place may be selling which is fine John who did my original set was the whole reason I went back there. read more

I will not recommend this place, and I will never go back. Not only my technician Tom's attitude, but also his skill level, are very unprofessional. First, the technician is double-booked. I did call in early and booked my reservation. However, during my reservation time, my technician is also serving another lady, and he served both of us alternately. In addition, if he washed his hands in between remains unclear to me. So the hygienic condition is doubtful, and I would not recommend anyone going to this place. Second, the technician is careless and seems to be a "rush". His nail drill hurt my finger and made my finger bleed. When I told him my finger was bleeding, he insisted and forced me to put my bleeding finger into the nail polish remover water. It hurts as if I am pouring alcohol onto my wound. When I took my bleeding finger out of the nail remover water, his immediate action was to use his hand (covered in nail dust) to squeeze some blood out of my finger. This makes me doubt both his skill level and the hygienic condition at this place. I was so terrified and had to wash my hands for 10 times when I got home. Thirdly, the skill level at this place is disappointing. I only went to this place to remove my nails, and he failed to do this. As in the attached picture, you can see there is still gel remaining on my nails. In the end, I regret my decision coming to this place. Yet, I still want to advice everyone seeing this review that, this place is unprofessional and the hygienic conditions remains doubtful to me. read more

This was my second time going to Nail Club II. The first set of gel nails I got lasted over a month; those things were industrial- the best quality manicure ever. This time, I got a design, and I am obsessed!! Very friendly staff and reasonable prices will be coming back. :) read more

$50 for an acrylic fill, not including tip. Nails were done quickly and there are noticeable mistakes including bubbles in the polish, uneven nail lengths, and gaps of polish on the sides of the nail. I do my own gel nails and am experienced with clear full coverage tips but can't do my own acrylics so I've been looking for a new place. Disappointing, considering this was a highly rated place. My search continues! read more

Love that they accept walk-ins. The price for a gel removal and pedicure was right! The staff were friendly and did a great job on my nails. I will be back! read more

After my 5th attempt trying to get an appointment with my usual manicurist and failing I called Nail Club 2 and got an appointment that same day. I arrived early and they took me immediately. Leeann did a great job. She is quite a perfectionist. I'm happy. read more

The experience wasn't bad persay, but the skill level was pretty bad. The polish is too thick, not smooth, running over my cuticle, covering 3/4 of my nail, etc. There was a piece of lint stuck to my thumb nail. Additionally, I really have no idea how hygienic everything is, so yeah come at your own risk. $18 for this basic manicure that kind of looks like a 10 year old painted my own nails.. read more

great place! people were friendly and nails looked great. would recommend and would come again.

Dear toes and fingers - I am sorry!!! This place had a 4-star on google! After getting passed between three different people, I left with 50 lbs of nail polish on my nails. Finger nails were filed different lengths and needless to say all the nail polish fell off (not chipped off, came off in giant chunks) within a day or two. They also only take cash, there is a liiiiiiiitle sign by above the cash register. read more

Hands down favorite nail salon in the burgh. I never have to wait long, and the price is better than anywhere in the area. The husband/wife duo have run this place for at least the past decade and I have never felt that it was unsanitary, only relaxing and efficient. And they stay open later than most places, and if you call and make an appointment,t hey will stay open even later. I love it and seriously, Lee gives the best pedicure around and my toenails are stupid stubby to begin with and always look and feel infinitely better after. Some of the reviews below I think are unfair, because A) I always pay with a credit card so they are def not cash only and B) the place is very clean. My only complaint would be the mag selection sucks, but thats what the iphone is for amirite! read more

This nail salon was great, very nice and calm scenery. Definitely recommend. The man who attended me was very nice! Greet you upon entry and assist you as soon as possible! read more

This place has been my cheap go-to mani pedi spot for almost 2 years now. I have never had an issue and always leave satisfied. No, you won't get aromatherapy oils or lava rocks massaged into your calves, but you will get a nice selection o OPI colors and friendly service. The younger gal (I think the owners, daughter?) does a great job and is super sweet and friendly. They take credit cards now, which is a huge plus! read more

Nail Club II - Really good OPI selection! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I hate giving Nail Club a great review because it might get even more crowded than it is already but I have to contradict some of the negatives others have posted. I've been patronizing Nail Club for over 15 years & have always been more than satisfied with their work. They do a better job than many more expensive salons, IMO. I have NEVER seen them fish used tissue out of the trash to use as toenail separators or go from one customer to another w/o sterilizing instruments in between!! For as long as I can remember they have taken credit cards for the services but not tips--perhaps previous posters misunderstood the sign by the register. They have a great selection of polishes, will sell you a bottle so you can touch up at home, or you can bring your own favorite & they'll use that. I've never had a problem with uneven nails & they always ask me how long I want them & what shape. The only negative is that they don't take appointments, but be smart & go when they are less likely to be crowded since they have long hours & are open 7 days a week!! I usually drive by & if I see people waiting I come back later or another day. Don't go in, then say you'll walk around while waiting because I'm pretty sure they won't hold a place for you; if you must get your nails done that day take a book & wait! Oh, & take a pair of flip-flops or thong sandals. They like to apply the polish while you're wearing something you can walk out in. Otherwise they'll give you a pair of those paper thin flip-floppy things that shred before you get to your car. I just keep flip-flops in the back seat. read more

I too mu daughter here so we could get our nails done because she was getting engaged. Her boyfriend wanted me to do this for her so she would have nice nails. We both got the dip nails and they were horrible. Hers fell off in 2 days so her nails weren't done when she got engaged. Mine are so bad they started lifting in 2 days. There are scrape marks on the nails where they scraped the dip from my French tip. They put them on like regular acrylic nails instead of doing the dip the way it is supposed to be done. They don't know how to do dip nails at all. This is the worst job I have ever had done. read more

Great salon if you don't mind that they use the same implements for subsequent customers without disinfecting them. My pedicurist fished what looked like bathroom tissue out of the garbage to use as toe separators after my polish was applied. Not the most sanitary or relaxing salon; that's an understatement. read more

I'm surprised by all the negative reviews on yelp. I got a gel manicure yesterday and although I've only been there once, I enjoyed the experience so much I wanted to tell people about this salon! As other reviewers have noted, there are few staff members and I did notice that the owners (husband/wife) were doing the primary work. The woman who did my nails seemed to be their daughter? I ended up waiting about 5 minutes for her to finish with another customer (not bad for a walk-in on a busy Saturday afternoon). I asked for a gel french manicure and she was amazing! Very efficient, very careful and gentle with every step. Given that the owners themselves are the staff, it seemed to actually be a pro because they put care into their work as opposed to places with large, unmanaged staff. Pros: The reason why I'm raving about it is because I paid $35 for a gel french manicure, which is the same price I've paid for a normal (not gel) manicure at more upscale Shadyside salons.. and my nails look much better! I remember always fussing and being anal about little problems with my nails after expensive manicures, and this is not the case here. I am so glad I decided to walk in. My manicurist was friendly and down to earth, and it was nice for me to notice they knew all the customers who were walking in. They seem to have regulars from the neighborhood who come weekly which is a good sign. Cons: Again, I've only been there once and so far have not experienced anything negative. However, I can see that if you want immediate service it may be understandable that some people are giving them poor reviews. A few people walked in and they were given an estimate of 15 minutes or so, but these people happily said they'd walk around forbes and come back. But, these were walk-in services, so I think that's more than fair. Response to other people's complaints: -In terms of people's comments about sanitation.... I didn't have any such poor experiences. My manicurist used things that were all clearly cleaned and soaking in proper cleansers, and she was meticulous in cleaning everything in between. Perhaps this is something they changed? -Credit card issue? I paid by credit and that wasn't an issue so I'm not sure what happened there for other customers. They do not, however, put tip on the credit card so make sure to bring cash for that portion (I don't see why anyone would complain about that though, I've experienced that across the board with more upscale places and other types of services too). Summary: I really recommend this place! I told myself I wouldn't let myself get regular manicures because of the price, but after this experience I think it'll be hard not to! Great service, very reasonable prices ($30 gel, $10 regular manicure; addition $5 if you want french), a rare neighborhood/family feel with them remembering all their customers and maintaining an on-going relationship. read more

I've been here several times, and I think they do a great job. Very meticulous and the staff is friendly. Their selection of polishes are OPI which beats the typical roundup of Essie. I'm pleased with them and a manicure/pedicure is reasonably priced ($30). read more

I've been going to Nail Club for a several years, having started at the Murray Ave location. Nice family run operation that does a good job, at a very reasonable price---20% cheaper than a lot of places and just as good. Lee and his wife, Kim are very friendly, as well as the daughter who is in nursing school now. They also take credit cards. You just can't put the tip on the card. They are also open until 8 at night and weekends also which I like. read more

Worst experience! Long wait times, and super dirty!! Got a full set and a pedicure... Both are falling apart after a week! I even got gel on my nails -didn't last, which means it's not real gel polish. Will never go back! Avoid at all costs! read more

I've been a customer for years since they were on Murray Ave. I've never gotten a bad manicure and I do fills. You can't beat their price and I like to support a small family-run business. (By the way, I also get pedicures and in 7 years I have never had any problem that one gets when supplies are unsanitary.) read more

When I walked in they said they had time for a manicure and pedicure then left me sitting waiting for a half hour. I ended up leaving. If you don't have time just tell me! read more

I think this is the best place to go for nails in the city, especially Squirrel Hill area.. Love Kim and Lee and staff. Reasonable rates and my sets last for weeks. I'd recommend them to anyone. Read the bad review and was truly puzzled by it. Tons of polish that came off???? Never saw that in years I've been their customer down on Murray and now on Forbes. read more

I am very sad. I was a loyal customer at the Murray Ave. location years ago and moved so that going to Squirrel Hill for a pedicure was no longer convenient. I have missed the place for years and went yesterday to get a pedicure at the Forbes location. I was truly shocked at the horrible service. The owner Kim spent more than half the time that she was working on me on the phone, and, it was a personal call, causing her to jab at me during cuticle removal and make me bleed simply because she wasn't paying attention. I got only a half hearted callus removal swipe which did absolutely nothing and I left with most of what I came in with. There was NO massage, just a small rubbing of lotion onto my legs at under 15 seconds per leg. It was nothing as it used to me where even though inexpensive it was thorough and you left feeling refreshed. The polish job is streaky and different levels of color on toes. I don't know what happened but I won't be returning and am unable to recommend this location to anyone. read more

Kim and Lee now have no staff because they said having staff is "inconvenient". They have a very busy waik in customer base and it is more than they can handle. And also as another reviewer mentioned, they do not sanitize their utensils between customers. The last time I went there I called first and asked Kim if there was a wait and she told me no. I said I will be right over (she knows that I live within 5 minute walking distance). When I got there the salon was full. I waited 30 minutes and then Kim told me that she still had to do another manicure before she could take me. She said "Right after you called everyone walked in". It is too bad that they are trying to save money by cutting corners regarding staff and hygiene. I'm glad that Squirrel Hill now has more nail salons. Kim and Lee had the monopoly for a long time. The salon down the block across the street does an excellent job. read more
