I absolutely love this place and the people here. Tom and his wife run a good business with good people. all the nail techs are amazing, they pay close attention to what you want and deliver it. I visit them every 2-3 weeks and have been doing that for years now. Better than a lot of other places in the area. read more

Envy Nail Spa - Dip ombré by Olivia!! Love it. - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

One year later, still doing great nails. Came in for a simple gel dip but Olivia wasn't busy and wanted to play. She hooked me up with an Ombré gel dip (yes it's a thing you can do!) and placed little crystals on two of my nails as well. I feel way too fancy for my daily life so I'm going to have to insist on a club date and a new dress. She thinks these nails may result in gifts of diamonds from all my suitors. Perhaps they *are* magic! Check in next year to find out! M read more

Linda did an excellent job on my almond shaped acrylics! I've been dying to get my nails back on and I found my new nail salon. I made an appointment through their website and once I arrived, I was greeted kindly and taken right away! read more

Envy Nail Spa - Almond shaped acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I came at about 12 on a Monday. They took me right away as a walk-in for a pedicure. This was my second time here. The first time was very busy in the afternoon. I waited about 5 minutes and felt a little more rushed than my second visit. I also had a gel manicure that time. The gel mani lasted for over two weeks with no chips. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially when it comes to the polish. There is nothing worse than leaving a salon with polish that doesn't go to the edge of your nail or is stuck on your skin. They go out of their way to ensure the polish is perfect every time. Prices are reasonable for what you get. A regular pedicure was $32 but I felt I got more than I get for a deluxe pedi elsewhere. I'm making an appointment to come back for another gel mani before Christmas! read more

I got my nails done by Ashley and they look STUNNING. I had a full set of acrylics done and she spent so much time making sure the nails were even and that I was happy with the shape. Had an appointment, but ended up getting taken in ten mins early! They also have so many options for different effects/add ons/colors it's almost overwhelming. As someone who doesn't usually treat themselves, this is the perfect spot for a little self care day. A huge bonus that it won't break the bank either read more

I've gone here semi-regularly over the past few years because the location is convenient and they accept walk-ins, but I will no longer be getting my nails done here. Each time takes longer than the last -- today it took over 4 hours for acrylics and a pedicure, and there were 3-4 patrons in the salon maximum at any given point during that period. If you say anything during your appointment about timing, shape, etc., staff members are visibly annoyed by your complaints. For example, when I said that my thumb nail was slanted (much like the toenail in the photo), the staff member doing my nails said, "nobody looks at your nail from that angle" and dismissed my concern. I don't mind paying higher prices when the quality and the service are worth it, but that's not the case here. I sat for 4 hours and 20 minutes, paid $140 before tip, and left with a passable manicure and uneven toes... Will not be returning. read more

Envy Nail Spa - Extremely uneven pedicure, the shape of my right big toe nail is totally (toe-tally) wrong - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Made an appointment online, says 15 minutes. Upon entering, there is a sign that says cash only today. I ask how much it is to get acrylics off as I did not have much cash on me and get no answer as he proceeded to start on my nails. Cuts my skin with the drill and puts an unknown substance directly on the cut. Sat for 30 mins while he worked on someone else's feet. Owner walks by and decides she's going to jump in. Is facetiming someone the entire time, barely paying attention to what she was doing. Twisting, turning and pulling my fingers in directions that they are not supposed to go in. Spends an extra 20 minutes than required because of the lack of attention, total time in the salon was 1 hour to get acrylics off. Tells me it's $15 when I am finished, I hand her a $20 and she doesn't ask for change. Walks away while still on facetime to help someone else. Horrible experience and never coming back. Came here a few months ago to get a gel mani with my mom and they did a solid 4/10 job with both of us. Not worth it, there's way better nail salons steps away in shadyside. read more

Booked an appointment for Tuesday morning at 9:30 and got a confirmation text. I drive to the salon for my appointment and the entire salon is closed, locked door, no one answering the phone. There were other people waiting and no one ever opened the salon. No notice that they had to cancel my appointment. I had dip nails that desperately needed removed before I left the country. I had to do it myself (the best I could) because they simply did not show up?? The dip set I needed removed was done by them and was poor quality. I had a few decent sets done there but they absolutely ruined my planning and nails for my vacation. Would not recommend them and would not go back. read more

Very clean and relaxing, love the plants. Took 2 mani-pedis in right away. Went to Envy II Nails. read more

Alright y'all. Imma be real, this was not an amazing experience. I go in on a Wednesday afternoon & wanted to get some crazy, fun, dip nails and a pedicure. I was immediately rushed to a massage chair with all of the dip colors in my lap. I showed them the picture of what I wanted and they acted like they were scared to do it. I'm trying to pick my nail color and my toe color but I feel extremely rushed. No one new had even come in to need see the dip colors so I'm not sure the rush. I couldn't even enjoy my pedicure. My massage chair didn't work and when I asked to switch because of it, they said it was too late. During my pedicure they take the sprayer to rinse my feet off and then they WATER THE PLANT BESIDE ME WITH IT and then go back to rinsing my feet off. Now I'm all about that green life but can't we do that later? Now we move to the nails, I ask for rhinestones and she tells me they won't stay. I ask again for them and she sighs and storms off to get them. I'm trying to explain to her what I want & she isn't understanding. The rhinestones I got were CROOKED. It was $85 for all of that. Will not be coming back. read more

Clean, professional, relaxing and fun. There was Flamenco guitar music playing and my nail tech had a great sense of humor. We didn't have to wait at all! This would a great place to go with a bridal party as there are 8 chairs and a full staff. The pace was unhurried and the attention to detail was impressive. read more

My friend and I went here as a walk in. They sat us together, didn't rush through doing our nails, and did a really nice job. Vincent did ours and he was great! Will definitely be going back. The price and quality is awesome at this salon. It's clean and everyone is friendly. read more

Envy Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My daughter went to get a full set done at this salon this week and she was very pleased. The atmosphere was peaceful and pleasant. The staff was attentive and responsive. You were offered a refreshment after you enter and check in. The wait time was under 10 minutes for an unscheduled appointment. They have a nice selection of polishes to choose from both gel and acrylic polishes. The location is nestled on the East Side/Shadyside near Buffalo Blues (original location) across the street in the shopping mall. It is within walking distance if you live on that side of town. It's a great alternative backup to my nail tech and I think Envy offers quality service and reasonable prices. Check them out for your next service! read more

Envy nails is SO poorly managed. If you go here, just know you're committing to spending several hours. They do not prioritize appointments, nor do they care for their customers time. there has been altercations almost every time I have been. It is such a hassle always. The actual nail service is good but the experience is so not worth it. read more

Well.... Went here for just about a year, experience/customer service was always unsatisfactory. Owner only speaks/flirts with WOMEN ONLY the rest are beneath him. Linda (whom did the absolute best dip manicure on the East End) quit and out the door followed their customer service ability. Titi @ Kim Nail across the street is amazing! read more

It's super good and have wonderfully time with them. Affordable price and excellent customer service. Forget the name of the technical did for me. Highly recommend for anyone. read more

First timer new to the Pittsburgh area. Very particular about who does my nails, so I did lots of research before choosing Envy II. I made an appointment with Yen, and she did a fantastic job on my SNS dip manicure. I also got a regular pedicure (I believe done by Tom), and it looks awesome, too. They were busy -- as in every person was working the entire time I was there, which is always a good sign. They also took temperatures upon entry and asked everyone to sanitize. I appreciated that, too! Pricing was similar to what I've paid other places. Be prepared to tip in cash or Venmo, but you can pay your tab with a card. I will be back! read more

Very happy with my gel manicure! The service was professional and friendly; the manicurist asked me if I liked the color before completing set, minded that the hot towel was the right temperature and was overall attentive. read more

I've been looking for a new nail place and decided to give them a shot. My nails came out really cute but, in my opinion, it was way overpriced. I was charged $70 for a fill-in. I did have to get one nail repaired which took less than five minutes. The design wasn't anything crazy either. I would expect this price for a full set, but for a fill-in it was a bit ridiculous. I have had much more done on a set of nails that didn't even reach close to a $70 bill. Don't get me wrong the service was great and my nails were cute but definitely not worth $70. read more

I tried Envy Nail Spa with my girlfriend at the end of July per the recommendation of fellow Yelper Carly K. I actually have a lifelong phobia of having my nails done professionally (due to cleanliness issues and contracting some sort of nail disease) but did my best to ignore my weird personal issues and have a good time. However, I explain my issues to inform the reader that, though I may be 31 years old, my nail salon experiences - and thus ability to compare - are very limited. Pros-- Nail polish brand and color selection Both the gel manicure and regular pedicure lasted a full month (really the gel manicure would've lasted longer if my nails didn't grow so fast) Cons-- Parking situation, this lot is consistently full (we parked by Dinette one plaza over) Massage chairs seemed to have limited settings The biggest complement that I can give Envy is that - despite my weird nail phobias - I have been wanting to come back to this place to get another mani/pedi since August. read more

Updating to 5 stars because I've been here multiple times and my pedicures are consistently great from a variety of nail techs. It's nice that you don't have to request a specific person to get a great pedicure. This is my regular spot now! Original review: Writing this review 2 weeks after a gel mani and gel pedi. Results are still great. Have to remove the gel mani due to growth but otherwise they grew out really nicely with even edges and a clean cuticle line and minimal lifting at the edges. The salon itself is very nice and prices are reasonable. The high rating is for the lasting and clean results, which is not easy to find. I was with a large group of 8 women for a bridal party and this place was able to accommodate all of us on a Friday afternoon with an appointment. If I lived closer, this would be my go-to salon. (Note that I only give 5 stars to a nail salon for repeat positive experiences, but this place would probably deliver ) read more

Envy Nail Spa - 2 weeks out gel mani is still looking great despite growth. Clean edges and minimal lifting. So good!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Went here with others to get my nails done. The others were fine, but my nail technician was rude, didn't listen to what I wanted and was downright unpleasant. I had to tell him several times that he was hurting me. I showed him the design I wanted before we started and ended up with something else entirely. After leaving, called and spoke with the manager who proceeded to say he was sitting behind the entire time (which it was recalled he came up behind twice and walked away without saying a word to either me or my technician -- and if he was somehow behind me the entire time, why didn't he interject at some point to stop the train wreck) [to his credit, he did say to come back and sit with another person but I just don't want anyone else treated this way] and then he proceeded to throw insults by saying she grown adult why she cry. Advised him (the manager) that the statement was an inappropriate thing to say and he got upset. Needless to say, the conversation didn't continue on from there. None of us will be going back there again. read more

This place is fine. Nothing special, but gets the job done. They have many technicians and chairs, so it's somewhat easy to get an appointment/ walk in. I've called before for an appointment multiple times and they've never consulted a date book when I arrive to confirm that I actually had an appointment - this process could be SO much better. It seems like there isn't really a distinction between their appointment and walk in customers. The technicians typically do good work, but this is dependent on the individual you are paired with. The place seems reasonably clean - I wish it was more apparent what their cleaning processes are. read more

I absolutely love it here. They always do the best, and my nails last for a month at a time. It's a great vibe overall you can tell they like what they do. read more

I have been coming here for 3 years, almost every month! I started out with gel manicures, which are fantastic here, I think they're reasonably priced. I recently switched to dip powder because I like the strength it gives my nails. I have probably had every person in there do my nails, and while I've been upset at my own choice in color, I've very rarely left upset about the quality of their work. I never have made an appointment because it doesn't matter much, it definitely runs as a "first come, first serve". I definitely recommend! read more

This place is not sanitary at all. They do not clean their tubs or tools. They use the same tools on each new customer. Do not bother with appointments. Hey just take people as they come in. There is no structure. They switch technicians several times throughout the process. I've gotten a fungus on my toes from coming here. They're under staffed. U wait for an hour before anything is done. Just a mess of a place. Unfortunately they do do a great job once they tend to you. But it is so unsanitary in this place. The owners Should learn to clean their tools because it's a shame I won't return and I'll never recommend someone again. read more

I stumbled upon this place because I live in the neighborhood and wanted to get a manicure for my birthday. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and provided instructions on picking a nail color and where to sit. The place was clean and relaxing, soft music was playing and it was just what I wanted from a nail salon. Admittedly, this was one of my only manicures, and once the tools came out, I thought: yep, he's going to hurt me. But he was incredibly gentle and thorough. I've gone back since to get a polish change and had the same pleasant experience. I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Envy was able to squeeze me in an hour before closing, and gave me a full set of acrylics with gel in 45 minutes. They are very well done. The acrylic is thick but not bulky, and the gel polish is tough and look brand new even five days after application. I have the nasty habit of biting my nails, so they were in pretty rough shape. The staff was nonjudgmental about this and very careful. The rounded shape is great (what I preferred), and I am very pleased. Everyone was friendly, only focusing on one person at a time, clean, and quick. I'll be returning for sure! read more

First let me say that the older woman doing my nails treated me amazingly fair...however, that's not enough to erase the strong feeling of neglect that I felt today. I have been excitedly looking forward to treating myself to a mani-pedi as I am a hard working business owner who has an office in East Liberty. I am also BLACK, not just black..but educated and hold a very diverse friend base in this city. I walked in and immediately felt very unwelcomed by Yen, the lady sitting at the front.- only for an older white lady to walk in and Yen become very friendly toward her in my face, her asking her what she needed "ma'am"...I was like, confused. I sat down to get my feet soaked for my pedi, while sitting the guy owner ( Per earlier reviews I am assuming this was Tom) comes out from the rear of the store and asks the older lady if she would like something to drink...and guess what? He continued walking toward the front without so much as giving me a second look- am I unworthy of friendliness? Then, they gave me snarky looks the entire time...esp as I was talking to the sweet lady doing my mani about my new business endeavor. Tom then goes to the back of the store and pulls out a huge bag of mini- candy bars. Again, he walks down the entire aisle asking every single person in the place if they wanted one from the bag except....yep you guessed it-ME!! I paid them $70 of my hard-earned money only to be treated as if they did not even want me to return or appreciate my patronizing of their business. I don't care if I have to pay twice as much they were very RUDE to me and it will be happy spending my money elsewhere. I also work in East Liberty and will be sure to tell every single person that I come in contact with about the unfair treatment that I received from this establishment. My poor husband picked me up and boy did he hear it about them, that's who encouraged me to share my story here. read more
