Great service at this tiny bit mighty nail salon. I'm new to the Burgh from DC and used to just…read morewalking into a salon for a pedicure - no appointment. Rude awakening for me a few weeks ago when I tried this at another Squirrel Hill establishment. But - when I called this salon, the super nice woman who answered told me to come right in. Turns out she is the owner with her husband - and they both really work their tails off! She did me and 2 other women inside of an hour, and my pedicure was quite good! She gives a mean massage, too, and really pays attention to detail when she's painting. The shop is below ground off Forbes - well marked - and very clean. I'll definitely be a regular. Hurrah!

Every single nail tech is so friendly, and drinks are available upon request. I have never had any trouble getting an appointment, and it is very easy to book appointments online. They are very reasonably priced for the quality of work they do. The nail techs are all so attentive to small detail. Lynn did the nails pictured, and the almond shape I asked for was perfect. We ended up switching things up a bit from my inspiration picture, and she made all the right calls. I love May and will continue to go back. They are truly phenomenal!

The people who work there are kind but the manicure was so rushed, the dip was everywhere, and the nails were not neat at the end. When I asked to fix at the end they took cuticle clippers and tried to cut the skin off. Appalling.

The nail tech let my friend and I chat next to each other while one of us got our gel manicure done and the other waited. The nail tech showed us the color we chose and then suggested another similar option for comparison. This was kind and appreciated, I ended up choosing the light pink he suggested because it went better with my skin. Over all the shop is small and nice. Not too sure about the cleanliness of the manicure tools, they were reusable and I don't recall if they were soaked or cleaned very much when switching between the two of us. Might consider coming here again. I do a lot of work with my hands and the gel is holding up great. I would want to know more about how they clean their tools now that I reflect on my experience I'm not sure that it was done (but I could be wrong)

It won't do anything on its own and it more or less reminds me of a sad broom. Today was that morning. My girl Tina sang praises about her salon, and hairdresser, Erica. So I called Studio West. Erica was off, but Suzie worked me in with Caitlin right after work. Woo! Her shampoo was really good. Very relaxing. Felt amazing after a crazy long day at work. And there's just something about someone else washing your hair, amirite? The shampoo, like Tina said, smelled so good. I'm still sniffing my hair an hour later. Haha. She made small talk about her dog, her son and her husband. I was really glad she didn't ask me a million questions, because I deal with that all day long. She made really quick work of my cut, I was only in the chair for about twenty minutes, style and everything! She gave me such a relaxing blowout. I almost fell asleep. My hair was perfect. It feels so nice, and I doesn't look like a sad broom anymore. I'm sure I'll be back for mor services, they do everything here!

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.

Rainbow Nails is a clean friendly spot on that busy stretch of Forbes Avenue off of Murray. They are one of the only nail salons open on Sunday and were able to take me right away as a walk-in. Earlier in the day, I went to another spot at the bottom of Murray Ave that was totally sketch - it was so bad, I walked out. Jessa, my nail tech, opened a sterile pouch of nail tools in front of me, asked how I wanted them trimmed and shaped, and she paid extra special attention to applying the color. She was friendly and met my chatty mood throughout the entire procedure. She was the only one to work on my nails and I'm incredibly happy with the results. Give this place a chance. They are far better than some of these Yelp reviews imply.
