Best service I've ever had. The main staff John and Lee Ann are the best! I love coming to them for manicure/pedicures and waxes. They also offer complimentary drinks! 10/10 would recommend to anyone

i went on for a gel manicure on the fourth of july. before coming in, i called and asked if they would have time for me to walk-in, and they said yes. the website + google maps didn't indicate they are closing early due to the fourth, and they didn't mention it on the phone either.
coming in, i noticed two things. first, the door was left open and there was no ac. not really ideal in 80+ degree weather. second, the nail technicians were sitting around watching videos, which isn't a problem, but there were several devices playing videos at a loud volume. it wasn't a very relaxing environment and a bit of a hectic ambience.
i believe my nail tech's name was kevin and they were pretty confident that the design i wanted was doable. they had me pick out colors since of course, there's no way they would have identical matches. i picked out three colors -- one of which was never used? it's very confusing. when he was doing my nails and we were deciding on colors, he said we would use green for the thumb and ring finger, and i said that's fine. he proceeded to immediately paint the fingers with blue, and as you can see, there was no green used anywhere. it wasn't a big deal to me, it was just confusing and made the manicure feel disorganized.
while cleaning up my cuticles, he was incredibly meticulous -- this is why there's two stars instead of one. i would probably come here for a very simple manicure with clear polish. it was a bit odd though, because once the cuticle trimmer needed to be emptied, he put... the plucked skin on my hand? i had never had this happen before, and it didn't feel very clean. after cleaning up my hands, he didn't ask me to wash my hands at the sink like usual. he brought over a bowl with water and had me dip my fingers in there. naturally, there were spills on the table, but he didn't wipe it up. this resulted in a pretty disgusting and uncomfortable sensation throughout the manicure, as my hands were frequently wet and the uv lamp was placed right on top of a spill, so anytime my hands had to go in, it felt damp and my hands were wet. it was truly uncomfortable and i'm just not sure these are very clean standards.
as for the manicure itself -- to be blunt, i don't think there was the necessary skill to do it well, and that is okay. i just wish they were honest about it. the paws look deformed and the facial features are messed up. he even forgot the white cat's ears -- i had to ask him to put it on at the end. the polish is also very bumpy and uneven, and there's specks of dust cured onto the nails. the yellow is also very sheer -- he didn't even notice until the end, and after the cats were already cured on, he took a smaller brush and tried to go around them. you can see the resulting bumps and how sheer most of the nail still is. some of the polish also cured onto my skin and it feels very uncomfortable and painful to get off.
throughout the manicure, they also guilted me a lot and kept saying things along the lines of how they were going to close early for the fourth of july but decided to wait and stay open late for me. my tech even made a remark about how the boss is impatient to get home, and maybe that's why the quality of my manicure wasn't great. rushing, maybe? but i wasn't made aware of this, and they didn't mention this at all during my phone call. if they wanted to close early, they should have, and customers shouldn't be punished for it.
all in all, i'm pretty disappointed. not happy with how they look, and i think the experience didn't feel all that relaxing or enjoyable. $55 plus tip feels like a rip off for nails that do not resemble the inspiration picture along with the other cons i described. i wouldn't come back here.

The gel manicure costs more and will damage your nails. When I took off the gel, my nails were flimsy.
All I wanted was a basic manicure and pedicure. I’ve never had gel polish before. I thought there was some language barrier and the nail tech didn’t understand what I wanted. When I went to check out, she said clearly that the total was $100 and when she saw the look on my face, she said that the gel was more expensive because it lasts longer.
I was not expecting to pay that much to get my nails done. I wish she had confirmed with me prior to doing the gel that it was what I wanted. And told me ahead of time the price .And also told me that the gel would destroy my nails.

$50 for an acrylic fill, not including tip. Nails were done quickly and there are noticeable mistakes including bubbles in the polish, uneven nail lengths, and gaps of polish on the sides of the nail. I do my own gel nails and am experienced with clear full coverage tips but can't do my own acrylics so I've been looking for a new place. Disappointing, considering this was a highly rated place. My search continues!

Found this place on google and thought I’d give it a try. I called and got right in. John did my nails and I told him I wanted white nails with chrome and he outdid himself. Beautiful shape, beautiful color, great experience. Clean, quick and super friendly. Very happy with how they came out and this will be my spot from now on. Thank you John!
Cleanliness: Place felt and looked clean. I felt really safe and comfortable going here!
Stylist: John was my nail artist. Great person, amazing at nails.

Decent nail salon, nothing fancy which is exactly what I was looking for when I initially came here. Nail club II is located on Forbes Avenue in the heart of squirrel Hill. It may be difficult sometimes to find parking but if you know how to park you should have a problem. I also have not had a problem MAS making an appointment ahead of time although I do call about a wk ahead of when I want to schedule some thing. I have come here four times and my manicures have been decent. I return because of the great price. $35 for a fill-in $45 for an acrylic set, and $50 for dip manicure. However you are paying for what you get. I have tried doing designs here twice and both times, mistakes were made despite me showing the picture and keeping it open on my phone. The language barrier also didn't help. At the end, I did get the design I wanted both times but definitely nowhere as nice and clean as it was in the picture that I showed. I would recommend coming here just for simple 1-2 color manicures without designs. They take credit card without an extra fee which is great. The people that work there are very kind. I will probably still be returning but only when I want simpler styles.

After my 5th attempt trying to get an appointment with my usual manicurist and failing I called Nail Club 2 and got an appointment that same day. I arrived early and they took me immediately. Leeann did a great job. She is quite a perfectionist. I'm happy.
