I came here for the first time to get my powder dip color changed. One thing I always appreciate with nail salons is when they're honest with you about whether or not they can take you as a walk-in. When I called to ask about coming in, I was asked to wait a couple hours because they were full. I MUCH prefer honesty like that to salons who cram you in and leave you waiting with false hopes of getting work done. The salon is bright and clean, and as soon as I sat down the manicurist got right to work (sorry, now I'm not remembering her name! ‍). She even gave me tips on a color I was considering - and she was right! It's now been over 2 weeks and they're obviously grown out and needing another touch-up, but they still look great! read more

Solarium Tan & Nail Bar - Over two weeks later & still great! - Tanning Near Me - Wexford, Pennsylvania

Tippys Nails is what it is now called. I was a walk in... they were able to take me right away. Suggested that I make an appointment for future visits. Great atmosphere, great service. Will go back! read more

This salon is now called Tippy's but the old phone number works. I love Tippy's. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the owner and workers are all very engaging and each of them can be relied upon to perform professional nail services. They carry the latest quality products. The last time I was there I had my fingernails done by Lori and she painted them with this new magnetic cat eye polish. I had so many compliments and they lasted a long time! Owner Kimmy is absolutely adorable! I live out of town and make sure to time my fills so I can get them done at Tippy's. read more

They told me they could not do the swirl at the bottom. I said it's OK and they said they can just leave it blank, meaning do the heart without the swirls and I agreed. Did my nails and they looked kind of crooked I was concerned but I didn't wanna say anything because I was not sure how they were supposed to look since I never got my nails done before. I thought it maybe is just because of my short natural nails. So I just let them do their job. Then they forgot to leave the space for the hard blank so they were like apologizing and asked if they can just draw a heart on an like a pink or red tone. I was a little bit disappointed but I didn't say that and just agreed to it since I wanted to hard in my nail design. I picked out a color I liked and I did the heart on my pointer. And there is polish on the bottom of my nail. read more

I never get my nails done but wanted to for prom, but after my experience here I might make it a habit! Was seated immediately, the staff was all very friendly and accommodating. My tech was very thorough and did a great job with my nails. If I do start getting my nails done more often I will absolutely be returning here. read more

Excellent service great staff and great nails. Very accommodating to my needs as well as my daughters. Love going here!

After reading all the overwhelmingly positive reviews of this place, I was super excited to give them a try. Now, less than a month later, I'm somewhat regretting this decision. Getting an appointment was easy. I called and they were immediately able to accommodate me at my requested time. When I arrived a few minutes prior to my appointment and walked in, I was greeted and seated quickly. The salon is large and has a large selection of different types of polishes, which is wonderful even though I always bring my own polish to nail appointments to ensure that I'm happy with the color I'm getting. One of the owners, Quinn, was my nail technician. She was extremely friendly and immediately began to work on my nails while starting up a conversation. I prefer to have full sets of nails put on every month and a half or so, getting the most wear out of them as possible rather than getting fills. When I told her this, she suggested that I have my acrylics done with the pink powder, as it supposedly lifts less, so I agreed to have that done instead. When applying and shaping my nails, Quinn was fairly distracted. She answered the phone several times, which was completely understandable, as well as when she greeted everyone that arrived to the salon. However, when one of the regulars arrived and was seated next to me, I do feel that she was more focused on talking to her than she was on my nails. I didn't feel neglected per say, but I definitely did not feel like I had her full attention and that I wouldn't have had her full attention unless I were a regular. While I agree that it is important to establish a rapport with your clients and acknowledge your regulars, when it comes at the expense of a new client and makes them feel like you're not paying as much attention as you should be doing, you might want to dial it back a bit. When it came time to apply my polish, I came prepared with an Essie color as well as a sparkle shade for an accent nail. Quinn tried convincing me to have gel done instead because she "had the same color in gel," but I'm the type who gets bored with my nails after a week and ends up redoing them myself since I own a UV lamp and gel colors. Plus I just didn't want to spend extra on gel when I was just going to inevitably remove the color myself later on. When it came time to pay, my bill came out to $40 plus a tip, which honestly shocked me. That's what I pay at the salon I normally go to for acrylics and GEL polish. A question answered on here stated that a full set of nails was $28, which is what I based my calculations on. Obviously that answer could have been incorrect and the price could have changed, but if that was what the price was, that means I paid $12 for "special" pink acrylic powder rather than the regular...which really brings me to why I'm writing this review. Whenever I get my nails done at the salon I normally go to, I never have a problem keeping them on for almost two months. They don't lift up or break or anything...they just grow out, and I'm able to hide this by repainting them with gel polish because it's thick enough to cover the line between my real nail and the acrylic. Two weeks after I got my nails done here, my right index finger lifted up at the bottom almost halfway up. Luckily I had nail glue nearby and was able to fix it myself, but gee, didn't I pay extra for pink powder that minimizes lifting? Now here we are, a week short of the month mark. My right pinkie acrylic popped the whole way off three days ago from absolutely nothing; today, I lightly tapped my left pinkie off of my desk when moving something and it cracked right in half, tearing my actual nail underneath. On top of this, I realized that the wrong size nail tip was placed on my left middle finger, leaving a fair amount of my actual nail out on the right side of it. Given the condition of my nails now less than a full month after having them done and based upon my experience at other nail salons with pricing and work, I honestly cannot say I will be making another appointment here. I do feel like I wasted my money and that I overpaid for mediocre acrylics. **Side note on the photos: this is not the original color I had done at the salon. I had painted these myself a few days ago.** read more

After reading so many positive reviews about this place, I called to make an appointment to get my nails done here yesterday. I was very happy to see that all the great things people had to say were true! Quinn was a pleasure to meet and she did an amazing job on my nails which were a disaster. Every person who walked in the door seemed to be a regular and was happy to be there. They keep a pretty steady pace but it doesn't feel rushed either. The salon is very clean and well appointed. The polish selection is extensive with many quality brands. I was in need of a new "regular" salon and I will definitely refer business their way! read more

This place is great. Their prices are perfectly reasonable for nails and tanning. I tried explaining why I didn't like fake nails because of how big en bulky they look on me. Doesn't feel natural at all. So they suggested some "Dip" form and I actually love it!!! The entire time I was there regulars kept walking it and chatting up a storm with everyone including me when it was only my first time there! Places like this make you feel warm and welcome so I defiantly plan on making this my spot during my monthly stays. Just wish their was a place to go to like this in mean grumpy old fl read more

I tried this place out a few times and every time I've had a negative experience. The first time the older woman started my manicure and stepped on my fresh pedicure and refused to acknowledge it, but John, the owner did end up fixing it. The next time, the older woman again started my pedicure and she actually hurt me when she was pushing down my cuticles and did a poor job at this as well. read more

Called to see if they could sneak me and my daughter in and they were able to accommodate us. I splurged on my pedicure and it was SO WORTH IT! I'm a new runner and I'm on my feet at work so I needed that extra pampering. They also took great care of my 3 year old daughter. Her smile went from ear to ear. It was a great experience and our nails look beautiful! I can't wait to go back! read more

Best place to get your nails done. I searched all over once I found this place I stopped searching. They can be busy so call ahead. Very accommodating. I'm very quiet when I get my nails done. I either listen to my headphones or watch their tv which has HGTV on. I like that. I come here to feel pretty and to relax and take away my stress. read more

Great salon, they take the time to give a great massage too, even with the basic pedicure option. If you check in on the Yelp app, they also give you $5 off. I would definitely recommend! read more

Solarium Tan & Nail Bar - Amazing massage to go along with the pedicure! - Tanning Near Me - Wexford, Pennsylvania

I decided to check out the Solarium Nail Bar following a recommendation from a coworker. I cannot say it enough...if you want a professional, clean, friendly salon this is the place for you! And did I mention they serve wine?!? Yes. Wine. The owner is friendly and truly wants to know each client who walks through the door. The polish options are on trend and the newest options from both OPI and Essie. My pedicure was dreamy...I chose the Healthy Feet option for $32 and from the exfoliating scrubs to the massage to the precise polish it was a truly enjoyable experience. They also have a few small Hello Kitty chairs for younger clients, truly catering to the idea of a fun "girls day out" This will be my go-to nail salon and I hope you check it out too! read more

Very clean and friendly. Owners are attentive to your needs and take time to remember their customers. After only one visit, Quinn and John knew my name and what I did for a living. They greeted me by first name when I returned. They even remembered my daughter's name! Super job on the nails! Always recommend them! read more

They are absolutely fabulous! The quality of service is stellar, they are personable, and the prices are reasonable! I'll never go anywhere else!!! They are especially good at fitting in last minute fills, as I'm almost always working. read more

A friend and I decided we wanted to have a girls day and get our nails done. She made an appointment a few days before and got us in with no problem! I came across this place on yelp and I have to admit I had no idea it was in the plaza next to North Allegheny High School. The parking is a little tricky, but there is additional parking behind the building which is a good thing to note. The facility is very clean and modern. The owners are very friendly and they actually liked having conversations with my friend and I. Some nail salons just want to do your nails in silence and get you out the door. The nail polish selection is amazing! They have so many different colors and I love that. There is nothing more frustrating than walking into a nail salon and seeing 50 shades of red. I'm a lover of red don't get me wrong, but people like variety! Another thing I would like to note is they absolutely deliver on what you want your nails to look like. I showed him a picture and I got exactly what I wanted. I wanted a glitter ombré look and he used a pale pink gel polish as the base ($35). He also did a great job of cleaning around my cuticles. I've been to other salons in the area that did what they wanted and didn't take what I wanted into consideration. Also, I've left other salons with my cuticles looking horrible. They use a keratin glove treatment to soak your cuticles before they clean them up. This was new to me and it definitely felt luxurious. Once we were all done with our manicures we decided we wanted to get a pedicure and they fit us right in for an hour later which wasn't bad at all since it was such short notice. We went and ran a few errands and came back. They have different pedicure packages, but we went with the $32 one that includes a sugar mango scrub, cooling gel, callus remover, and hot towels. We never once had to wait or felt rushed! This is my new go to nail spot in Wexford and I will be telling plenty of people about it. Also, when you check in on yelp you get $5 off your service of $30 or more! read more

I was a walk-in client today after seeing their sign advertising Sunday hours. The salon was very clean and everyone was having a wonderful time. After being served a beverage (they even have wine!), I had an amazing experience. They had an amazing selection of colors and I chose a sparkly purple that much to my delight is color-changing! The proof is in the pictures! read more

Love this place! Excellent service every time! They take their time with pedicures and manicures and everything is efficient but not rushed. They don't overbook themselves so you don't have to sit around waiting for things to be done. Definitely recommend for pedicures and shellac manicures. read more

The prices were so high! We usually go to local places that are much cheaper . Not that great of nail tech services either .....there's more places around to choose from and they are cheaper read more

I've been here twice for a walk in pedicure and have been happy with the service I've received both times. The salon is clean and doesn't smell!! Great selection of polishes and the employees are very nice and welcoming. Both of my pedicures have been done to my satisfaction and I will be returning! read more

Best salon in wexford. EVERY OTHER salon is exactly the same where the employees are often rude and demanding. This salon is very welcoming, the owners are great and they have a huge selection of colors. I can't stand it when I walk into a salon and am demanded to sit down and then wait for another 45 minutes before they get to me. This place is honest and considerate of your time. I won't go anywhere else! read more

I've been going to Solarium for years now. I've gotten acrylic sets, acrylic fills, pedicures, gel nails, and dip nails done. I've gone for school dances like prom and homecoming and just for fun. Every time I've gone they have been so sweet and make sure that you are comfortable. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. My nails have been beautiful every time and the designs I've gotten have been flawless. My favorite nail salon ever!! read more

this place! Go there frequently. Fun & friendly staff. Great service. Best pedicure within 100 miles! Very accommodating, variety of colors. Best waxing around too! Will continue to go back & highly recommend. read more

Best nail salon I've ever been to. Quinn's memory is insane. She will call you by your first name after only meeting you one time. She genuinely cares about how you are doing. Everyone that works there is friendly and does an amazing job. They care about the details and make sure you feel relaxed. read more

Found this little gem on a Saturday afternoon as a walk in. Owners and staff very friendly. The salon is immaculate. Great pedicure and so relaxing. This is my new go to salon for manicure and pedicure. I highly recommend! read more

The salon is clean and the employee's are friendly and accommodating. I originally went in for a pedicure but ended up deciding to also get my nails done. They have lots of options for pedicures in several different price ranges. I only gave 4/5 stars because some of my gel nails have rigid edges and a few other small imperfections but I should be able to lightly file them and be fine. read more

Got exactly what I wanted. Some workers will talk a lot to not at all. A nail ripped a few days later and it was fixed for free. They lasted forever too. read more

Love this place! i love how i can just walk in and not worry about booking an appointment. sometimes after months of not getting my nails done and i return they remembered my name! which amazed me. how they can still recognize me after a few sessions with them. i love their work as well. i love getting my nails from them. read more

Everyone was super nice so I feel bummed to write a review. I got dips for the first time and they lasted one week. Thought it would be atleast 3-4 weeks from what I was told. My nails have never looked this bad as they are all cracked and in the process of coming off. I hate writing reviews. But I'm just too bummed to not. Not worth 60$ what so ever sorry :/ read more

I got a mani-pedi and a spray tan. The owners are so friendly and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. My nails look awesome, and even though they got busy, they still took their time with me. The place is super clean and the pedicure chairs are very comfy. I also got my very first spray tan and it went great and they took their time to explain the process to me! I love this place! read more

Favorite nail place in Pittsburgh! Not only are the owners John and Quinn so sweet and fun, they do an amazing job on your nails. They work fast, the place is spotless, bright, and the vibe overall is a modern salon. Will definitely be going back here to keep getting my nails done. Even the equipment was super clean. They are so welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. You can also tip on your card. I actually look forward to my next trip here! read more

Found this place through yelp. Was in town to meet up with my sister for the night and decided I wanted to have my nails done. Very clean location, decent selection of nail polish and gel colors, and I was even able match my gel colors to my polish. Staff was very friendly and took their time with the pedicures and made sure we were happy with out results. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a manicure or pedicure (I did not have a manicure myself, but the other customers who were seemed very pleased with their results). read more

Awesome service and fast! Lowest price I've paid in a long time for the best nails I've had in years!

I gave this salon several chances. I came in knowing they had the dip powder system. I had long beautiful nails after the SNS powder system at a salon in another state. I tried this salon's powder and immediately it shattered a few days later. I gave them another chance and the same thing happened. I gave them a final chance with their gel manicure and they beveled and buffed my nail down so thin my nails have been bending and breaking since and it is quite painful. I have never had such a horrible experience. Unprofessional and careless work. They don't seem to care about providing clients with healthy nails. read more

Will definitely return. Everyone was super nice and the service was great. It was a first time experience for my 8 year old and she loved it too. read more

Quinn and John are the best around! They make the experience fun and relaxing. They always do an outstanding job and the salon is very modern and clean. I always enjoy coming here and tell everyone how great they are. Their selection of colors and types of pedicures is also top-notch! You must try this salon, you won't be sorry! read more

Had so much fun going. They're SO friendly and it was honestly just really nice. Prices are normal for shellac, tanning is higher but it's a different type of bed and I'm fine with that (also not much higher maybe like a dollar more), eyebrow waxing is also similar to most places I've been. I love it here, definitely will continue to go back. read more
