This is one place I literally look forward to coming to every 3-4 weeks! Iโ€™ve seen Tara, Alexa, and Olivia and leave with the best manicures and nail art of my life every time. They are so friendly and so willing to accommodate every request, and not to mention, TALENTED! The customer service at the front end is always top tier as well. Cannot recommend enough :)

I'm officially a Russian Manicure convert. I feel like my cuticles are soo healthy now, I seriously haven't had a single hangnail since I started seeing Antoinette and Tara earlier this year. Illustrated Nails can do it all with designs as well! I come in with a photo for inspiration and they just make it happen. I picked Illustrated Nails not only because they're one of the few places in Pittsburgh that do this style of manicure, but also because they maintain a high level of sterilization and care for your nails. I always feel like my nail health is safe when I go (super important to me), and love that they use non-toxic ingredients in the salon. Thank you for the dopamine hit every time I look at my manicures - this is THE place to go!

Literally the coolest and best nails I have ever had! Watching Antoinette work was truly watching an artist at their craft-I was amazed! The overall vibe of the salon was very welcoming and comfortable and they had some really cool stuff for sale too! I've had these for two days and have already gotten a lot of gasps from people saying "LET ME SEE YOUR NAILS" lol 10/10!!
