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.

Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good classic or gel mani that won't peel in 5 days. They are also super easy to book with over the phone -- a nice change from having to fill stuff out online or wait weeks because of limited staffing at other places I've tried. Update: last gel mani still going strong. Two nails *slightly* started to pull up at the one edge after 12 days. ... This is after sticking my hands in warm water to wash bottles multiple times a day, do swim lessons in the pool, bath time, etc. for almost two weeks. Very happy with the durability.

The spa is located on a residential street in Squirrel Hill, so it already feels like a tucked away oasis. The space is cozy, and Leah is so cool and engaging, so you feel comfortable right off the bat. You will be SO pleased with your long-lasting results, ready to wear the skimpiest of bathing suits without any qualms. The pain level is like a big bandaid that has maybe been left on for a little too long - being quite honest here. But pain for beauty is the most noble thing. For the Black women out there: yes, she can handle the unique challenges our hair texture poses with skill and finesse! Bonus: if you've never had a vajacial, you need to see Leah and get one, you will thank me, more importantly, you'll thank her!

KBS Nail Bar

Unfortunately, I will not be back…read more I was looking for a go-to nail salon when I moved here 3 years ago, stumbled upon KBS before my wedding in 2024, was quite frankly desperate and Natalie (who no longer works there) did amazing work so I returned another time. My mom came with me ahead of my wedding and Natalie did amazing per usual, but my mom was nipped and bleeding all over the place with her nail tech and did not have an enjoyable experience. She gave me a gift card for my birthday last year but sadly I have developed a gel allergy so I haven't been back since (wanted to put it to good use). I have a wedding this weekend and decided to go, but the singular email they send you with the gift card was no where to be found. Didn't think this would be a problem thinking they would have the ability to pull it up on their end as I did have proof of purchase and the confirmation code. When I arrived, I explained the situation upfront and was told by the owner that the gift card would be honored. I get my nails done but when it was time to check out, I was suddenly told they couldn't accept it without the email and that I should contact the third party. Frustrating to be told one thing at the start and something completely different at the end, with no consideration for the customer and their lack of commitment. On top of that, the overall vibe in the salon felt very off, gossipy and standoffish. Even the way the owner spoke to my entry level nail tech at times came across as uncomfortable and unprofessional, which didn't make for a great environment as a customer. With how often this place seems to go through employees, I would think they'd value customer satisfaction and retention over $50 - but that didn't seem to be the case. Gracie was very sweet and did a good job, but I won't be supporting this business in the future. - Update - the owner finally found the gift card 12 hours after my appointment without any gesture to refund what I was forced to pay in-store. Although I appreciate the now useless gift card, I would rather spend my time and money elsewhere. I suggest others do the same!

Already going on a week and no issues. Would highly recommend to everyone.
