I had a pedicure six weeks ago, and it is still in perfect condition! Growing out a little bit, sure, but no chips or scratches. Loved the staff and the vibe and, if only I lived in Pittsburgh, this would be my go-to salon. Will be back whenever I visit! read more

I love the vibe here. I come twice a month in order to get my nails done. I utilize their passport feature for manicures which allow one normal one and then one with upgraded nail art is what I pick. It's super easy to book online and to show your artist your inspirations for what you want on your nails. I enjoy that I can have a little Mimosa or a cup of coffee while I sit there and talk to my nail techs. Everyone that I have used has been wonderful. I love coming here. It's super easy to book online and get exactly what you want and know what the price is before you go. It's also a no odor salon so safe to go anytime! Love it!! read more

I had my nails done here before the rebrand. My tech failed to make sure the gel was fully cured on my nails, resulting in bubbles and I had to go in for fix-ups on more than one occasion. The bigger issue was that I began to experience an allergic reaction to the gel polish. I experienced cracking and peeling skin, some itching, and there was a bruise under my nail. The tech was not aware/educated about gel allergies and applied another set. The reaction became unmanageable at that point and I removed my nails at home. My nails were completely destroyed - terrible onycholysis on all nails. My thumbs were both so bruised they looked they were polished. I was concerned I was going to lose multiple nails. I looked like something out of a zombie film. I ended up needing systemic and topical steroids to stop the reaction. I called the salon and they refunded the money from my last set. That was all. Suffice to say I will not go back nor will I recommend to anyone. read more

I am not a reviewer but I am just so disappointed. I frequented this Salon in it's prior iteration and supported through the pandemic. There were some wobbles in the transition and I continued to support. In the new ownership I was fairly happy with the services. But, a booking incident resulted in double credit card charges to which I called to discuss and after several days and attempts to discuss with Brittany (this was who I told I had to speak with), I haven't received any courtesy back at all. Not a text, or a call, or an email.....nothing. Not a good look for the new ownership. I wish them well but sadly won't be back. read more

After a mid-to-bad experience at Cardamone Salon and Day Spa, my hunt for a new nail salon continued. PAINT caught my eye. I wasn't thrilled it's part of a national chain, but everything else I read gave me hope--it reminded me of my favorite place in Austin (LACQUER Luxury Nail Salon, a Certified Safe Salon that actually prioritizes nail health, safety, and ethics). PAINT's website made it seem like it might be in that same lane. First Visit I booked a Gel Mani & Pedi at $104 for 2 hrs 15 min to prepare for a second job interview I had coming up. Parking was an inconvenience--limited street parking on Liberty or one-way side streets. There was a back lot that I think you're allowed to park in but I couldn't find a space. Least favorite part of the whole visit. The salon itself is a little "IG basic," but clean, cute, comfy and mostly relaxing until someone burst on the scene and started exaggeratedly yelling and laughing with the receptionist. And I don't mean like, they shared a beautiful moment of joy that made me appreciate the place even more... I mean a solid 5 or 10 minutes of f#@k everyone else in the salon, it's all about us behavior. Still, Kalpana was the reason I enjoyed my first visit. She was kind, interesting, and welcoming, and she gave me a wonderful mani-pedi. My nails looked perfectly polished for my interview, and the price was in line with what I expected (actually a little less than what I paid in Austin). It feels so good to be home. But their claim about prioritizing nail health doesn't holdup. Kalpana used a coarse file to sand my natural nails before applying the gel polish. So I guess I'm at least partially to blame for what happened next ... Second Visit I had originally called to schedule a lacquer change for a fancy dinner I was to attend. If there was an option to do so online, I couldn't find it. The receptionist told me on the phone they scheduled it as a nail repair, but that we'd swap out the gel lacquer, just no nail shaping. My plans changed before my appointment and I asked at check in for a simple gel removal or, I suggested, upgrading to an Uptown Girl mani with gel removal, no new polish. Because I had already booked just that 3 weeks out to remove the new gel that I was no longer going to receive. They said no time, so I stuck with removal and asked her to cancel my upcoming Uptown Girl mani. The receptionist and I were clearly not on the same page though--they referred to it as a "nail repair" appointment, asking me which nail but I figured the stylist would understand, so I rolled with it. Ashley, my stylist this time, was... rough. It felt like they over-filed the top layer of gel, then failed to soak my nails long enough before beginning to poorly remove the lacquer with a coarse file on my natural nails. When they stopped mutilating my nails, they asked if I wanted them shaped. Sure. They filed the edges a bit, then declared we were done--residual dust all over my fingertips and patches of gel still visible. When I asked them to clean them up, I got a quick wipe down and the least amount of cuticle oil as humanly possible, applied to my nail beds. My nails feel as rough as a cat's tongue. The receptionist didn't ask how my service was, and by then I was out of f#@ks to give anyway. I checked out and left. When I got home, I went online to cancel the Uptown Girl pedi I originally meant to keep and discovered the receptionist had canceled it already instead of the Uptown Girl mani which was still on the books. And apparently you can't cancel online? So now I'll have to call. Had I known that, I would have done it in person. Final Thoughts If you're a basic bitch who's cool being gaslit about nail health (or anything else for that matter), then this place is for you. Otherwise? I'd steer clear. Kalpana gave me one great visit, but the overall vibe and inconsistency, not to mention the condition of my poor nails, means my search continues. read more

Brittney did a great job with a gel-x removal from a manicure I had elsewhere. She was gentle and able to preserve the integrity of my natural nails while thoroughly removing the gel. read more

I had the best experience I have had in a nail salon in a while! I'm a mom who doesn't get out alone often, but I did today! Total relaxation! Such a friendly atmosphere! Drinks offered! Coffee, Tea, Mimosas! (The mimosas are so good!) The girl who did my manicure and pedicure was AMAZING! Truly! Her name was Kennesha, she was fabulous in all aspects. Her energy, her talent, everything. No matter who you are, you will be truly welcome and comfortable here! Not to mention they have the cutest stuff to shop from while you wait/ before you leave! read more

I love my monthly appointments. The nail techs are all talented artists. The vibe is cutesy and demure with plenty of relaxing beverage options while you spend a couple hours getting your mani and pedi. I highly recommend this place. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The prices are worth it and my nails last for weeks! read more

I love Paint! All of the staff is very friendly and the salon is so clean. They use clean-ingredient polishes so it doesn't smell like fumes or chemicals. I really like the Dazzle Dry polish that they use because it dries super fast and holds up like gel, but it's regular polish. I've had an amazing pedicure here! I've also taken my nieces and they do such a great job with wiggly girls that can't hold still haha. Their retail section is awesome and has lots of items from soaps and lotions to jewelry and clothing. PS there's a free parking lot behind the building! read more

Paint nail bar has been a great experience! I've had 3 different nail techs and each of my gel manicures have lasted 3+ weeks. The inside is light, bright, and clean. I appreciate that it doesn't smell like a traditional salon For anyone wondering, here's the general flow of manicures appointments. The checkin desk usually offers a drink, tells you to wash your hands, then guides you to the nail polish selections. There's a couch and plenty of merchandise you can stop around if you have to wait. Once your apt is over, you check out at the desk and can leave a tip there (cash or card!). If you're driving, there's a large parking lot out back that's free! read more

Got a regular gel mani here a little while back when my usual place didn't have availability and I've been going here since! The results have been very consistent and the quality is great. Everyone is very kind and they provide you some nice little extras when you're there. Free repairs for 10 days was really helpful too, they fit me in when I had chipping on a couple nails. Cameron was the one who did the nail art and she did a fantastic job. It's a little expensive, but to me it's worth the price because you know it'll be good every time! read more

Loved Paint Nail Bar! I took my sister and 5 year old daughter last weekend. We booked our appointments about a month ahead of time. Both my sister and I received pedicures while my daughter had the mini Paint manicure. I love that they accommodate the littles. While we waited I enjoyed an apple cider mimosa. Delicious! I also love how its a little boutique in there with items to purchase. We did end up with a bracelet and bath bomb. I already made our appointments for December. I cannot wait to go back! Everyone was so professional and its so relaxing in there! Also note there is a free parking lot behind the building. read more

My sister booked us pedicure appointments at Paint Nail Bar. The space was super cute and clean. We loved browsing the items for sale. The pedicure chairs were some of the most comfortable that I ever sat in. It was also great that we could enjoy a drink while we relaxed getting our pedicures. My technician was awesome. Super sweet and my toenails look great! We already booked our next appointments. read more

This salon is so pretty and bright and going to a fume-free nail salon is such a nice change of pace. From the minute you walk in you're not choking on the air and you don't leave with a headache. The complimentary beverage (mimosa, coffee, tea or water) is such a nice touch and adds to the luxurious feel of the place. I was also super impressed by the cleanliness and loved that they ask everyone to wash their hands before picking out a nail color. The woman who did my pedicure was awesome and really sweet. My nails look amazing and I will definitely be back. This was such a great experience!! read more

I experienced my first visit to the Paint Nail Bar today. I had made CC my appointment (s) for a manicure and a pedicure earlier in the week. The only way to make the appointments was online and required a credit card to guarantee the appointments. I could understand this policy and my account was not charged in advance. My first surprise upon arrival was an upcharge for my polish choice. I wanted traditional polish and two types were available. The regular priced polish had a few colors to choose from - the upcharged polish had many more color choices. The techs performing the services were quite good and I was pleased with the nail services. The pampering level was quite low for the cost of the services. I could have chosen additional services for additional fees. The pedicure chairs while comfortable were just regular chairs and the wash basins did not have jets or moving water. Overall, I would give the experience an 8.5 out of 10. Edited - I did not receive a sugar scrub during the pedicure. The tech did do a nice massage while applying lotion. read more

My experience was okay, but I am not sure if I will come again. Staff was very friendly, and my appointment started on time. My only issue is the quality of the manicure itself. I am used to it being standard practice to cut my cuticles and hangnails down, but the manicurist did not really do that. read more

I was in town for a special event. I went to Paint for a gel manicure and a gel pedicure. The pedicure was fantastic. Definitely recommend that service. The manicure was a huge disappointment. She trimmed and prepped the nails, pushed my cuticles back and applied the polish. It was a cat eye polish and she struggled to make the magnet work. The cat eye was in all different directions and the finish ended up lumpy. She did not apply cuticle oil after or any lotion to my obviously dry hands. Worst manicure experience ever. I know they guarantee their work but I did not have time to return for them to redo it. read more

Upon my arrival I was greeted by the front desk staff, invited to sanitize my hand and phone. I was offered a drink to which I opted to have a cup of tea. I went during the week and it was pretty busy. The space itself was clean, the decor was lovely and they also had different items on sale as well, I saw jewelry, clothing , slippers even cups. I had a gel manicure and pedicure done and was thoroughly satisfied. I will definitely be back, my go to spot for getting pampered. read more

Still one of my favorite places to get a pedi! They truly take their time with every service and you can add extras like a 10-minute massage or paraffin wax!! They offer online scheduling for convenience and allow you the option to set up a passport which works like a subscription for services. They also have little items at the front desk like lotions, oils, and accessories. The best part....they offer Mimosas to sip during your service! read more

Overall I was very disappointed, especially since they market themselves as a luxury service. Quite expensive for the service that I received. It was $47 for a gel manicure and my service barely took half an hour start to finish. The waiting area for the salon is very cute and the salon facilities are quite clean but showing lots of signs of wear and tear. My technician seemed to be in a rush and spent very little time on shaping my nails and cuticle care even after I mentioned my concerns. There was a lot of polish left on the skin around my nails, which I only noticed after leaving. I've gotten much better results for less, or even doing my nails myself. Unfortunately complimentary mimosas don't make for a luxury experience on their own. read more

It's been about 27 hours since my "gel" manicure yesterday. It's literally peeling off. And on the nails where the peeling hasn't happened yet, it's got chips around the edge (might be hard to see in the photo bc of lighting, but there's chipping all along my right thumbnail). I'm guessing the rest will begin peeling soon. $40 for junk. Don't go here. They don't know what they're doing and are charging a premium for crap. I called and told them, wanting to confirm the right method of removing this junky polish. They say they "guarantee" the manicure for a certain amount of time. I cut the woman off before she told me how long it's "guaranteed" (longer than 27 hours, I hope) because: 1) I have no time for them to fix their crappy work, 2) even if I had the time, there's no way I'd go to them -- they couldn't do it right there first time. ********EDIT: Since Yelp won't let me respond to the owner's message below -- No, you can't make it right. I got them done for an event and there's literally no time to fix them. But, as I said, even if I had the time, I wouldn't go to your place. Also, a 10 day guarantee for gel says it all. A good gel manicure will last for weeks.******** More detail, the manicure itself was... Underwhelming. No lotion after, no hand massage, and the nail tech apologized about how dull her tools were, which made my cuticles ragged. I brushed the cuticle issue off at the time, but was annoyed about paying $40 for this place when they hold themselves out as more of a high end spot. Now with everything peeling off, I'll be warning everyone I know to stay away. Hilarious update: to get the polish off, all it took was putting my fingers in a little lukewarm water for about two minutes per hand. Not even acetone/remover. Everything slipped right off. read more

Very convenient and everyone working there is super nice. I would say that just due to having a pretty large staff the quality of the work may not be totally uniform, but you can always schedule with the techs whose work you prefer if worry about it. read more

This is a really nice place! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating on my first experience. Linda did my mani and pedi and she took her time and I didn't feel rushed through at all. A week later my nails and toes look brand new still. She even asked if I wanted to keep the nail file and buffer which I thought was nice. My only small gripe is the chairs for the pedicure. I'm short and these chairs aren't made for short legs. Plus I would of like the nice massage chairs . Overall I was happy and will be back . They even called me a few days later to thank me and see if my nails are doing well! P.S this is during COVID-19 and they even sanitized my phone for me ! read more

Great manicure and pedicure! Sunshine was wonderful and went out of her way and gave me extra attention to make sure my nails looked great.

Would not recommend. Scheduled an appointment with one tech and upon arrival was told she was not available so they gave me someone else. Not sure if this person was new or what but the treatment took almost an hour and 45 mins and it looks really bad. (Totally fine if it takes that long and looks good.) I had previous gel on and I can still see the old color on the edges of my toe nails. Somehow the tops of my toes are stained with the old color too. My toes and heels are not smooth at all. She also filed the soft part of my heel and now I have a cut there. Lastly the tips of the nail were not painted. I am going to have to go somewhere else to get them redone because they look so sloppy and unkept. Very disappointing. read more

I went to PAINT Nail Bar on a Friday afternoon, and it was the best experience! I was worried about parking, but there was a spot open right in front of the bar! My nail tech was ready for me to sit down as soon as I walked in, right after she offered me a mimosa or coffee! My favorite part about PAINT is the clean nail polish selection! I love using Dazzle Dry! I got a Talk of the Town Mani by Cameron, and was is truly a luxurious experience--including the paraffin wax massage. You can also shop several different pop-ups at PAINT too--clothes, jewelry, and small gifts like candles. I can't wait to go back and get a mani and pedi! read more

Discovered this place a couple months ago and have already been 4 times! Covid times: they do a good job of sanitizing and social distancing. They require appointments and employees noses were all covered! Gel mani- Have gotten 3 get Mani's from Kellie. She does a good job of not ruining my nails with removal of gel and they are generally lasting me 2-3 week when I'm not picking at them! Pedi- The chairs are comfy but no massage and the foot baths are also small and do get cold over time. Otherwise they did a great job with it. Booking appts is easy online. Cost is good- $40 for a gel mani. Service always very friendly. And they have complimentary mimosas! Was a great way to start off a celebratory dinner with one of my girlfriends. read more

I wrote a review back in November after my sister and I were both extremely disappointed with out Dazzle manicures. It's funny that the response receives says a manager will call me right away - I had to call several times in order to get a response. While the did offer to re-do the service, it was not convenient for us to return and we were not very impressed by the workers at all. Some were offered drinks--- we were not. I simply asked for a refund as I was not interested on returning and was told absolutely not....that is not good customer service! read more

TLDR: I wanted to love this place as it's cute, everyone is super nice, and they have a 10 day nail guarantee. Rating 3/5 because despite getting my nails touched up once within the first few days, they're already chipping and only looked good for maybe 24 hours. I got my nails done Wednesday night for a wedding on Saturday. They gave me a heads up about their products and advised that some brands work better than others and it varies per person due to the companies only useing natural ingredients. I ended up using their 'Madame Glam' nail polish line. The experience itself was great - everyone very nice, they have a wide variety of complementary drinks, and were covid friendly. However, within 12 hours, 3 of my nails had already bubbled (see pics - looked like craters and I was told that it was because of the way the polish cured under the light and there being possible shadows so it didn't do it properly). I called first thing Thursday morning and they were able to fit me in before they opened on Saturday so my nails would be fine for the wedding. I was super appreciative that they were able to get me in and, again, everyone was super pleasant. However, today's Sunday and despite getting a touch up yesterday (2ish days into the manicure), additional nails have already chipped. The 10 day guarantee is nice for one off situations, but I don't have the time to go get my nails done 3 times in 5 days so I will not be getting the chipped nails touched up. I'm bummed because it was $52 ($42 for gel + $10 tip) and they lasted less than 24 hours looking nice. If I do go again, I will try a different brand and hope it works better w my nails. read more

I went and got a gel x Manicure. The stylist seemed very nervous and new to gel x. They looked absolutely terrible when I left. I called and told them I was very unsatisfied with how they turned out after spending 90 DOLLARS! They got me back in that evening and I opted to have them remove the gel x and just do regular gel ($45) since I did not trust them redoing the gel x again. The gel turned out well and I was told the original manicure charge would be refunded and the redo would be complimentary. I ended up being billed for the original manicure ($90) and tipped extra on the gel manicure thinking it was complimentary ($20). I was told I could only get $30 refunded as this was the difference in price between the gel x and gel manicures. Overall a hassle, unsatisfied with the customer service after the fact and wasted several hours out of my day dealing with this. Discussed with the owner on the phone and was told they could only refund the first mani. Would not recommend and will not be going back. Pictures are of the first gel x manicure read more
