Mia is amazing at doing nails! I have been going to her a few times now and she is always so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable! I get acrylics and she always takers her time to shape my nails so well and make sure i’m happy with them. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

best nail salon in pgh!! mia is so kind and accommodating, and my nails always come out looking amazing. I get acrylics with gel, and they last longer without lifting than any other salon. And the prices are fair. Definitely reccomend!

I have been a regular customer of Oakland Nails for 5 1/2 years. Mia is an extremely honest, creative, and hardworking nail tech with years of experience and, yes, will give you constructive feedback of what you think you want. She doesn’t let me leave unless I get nails that I love, which I always do, even if it’s not what I initially had in mind (think: matte neon bar charts, tortoise shell accents, or a raspberry red color that Mia characterizes as “Pittsburgh in the 70s”). The atmosphere is intimate, but silly at the same time, unexpectedly creating a safe space to vent about the grievances of life with whomever might be sitting next to you. It’s maybe not what I would have first expected from a nail shop, but for the results, the prices, and the experience, I’m so glad that Oakland Nails is part of my routine.Services: Nail art

i went in with high hopes considering oakland nails came highly recommended but when i got there i wanted a design and she said no to it which was fine but then i wanted an orange color and she told me i was too brown for it when she did my nails she used a drill to file down the tips which burned and then caused one of my fingers to start bleeding, now a week later my nails are more grown out than they usually would be, my thumbs are uneven 2 of the top coats have chipped off and there are dust specks in my nails. i’m disappointed to say the least.Service: Acrylic nails

Super blunt/honest feedback. Mia is not going to be for everyone. She’s a very laid back, witty, sarcastic personality who loves to crack jokes. If you are looking for someone to be “clean cut professional” I wouldn’t recommend it. I loved the experience when I walked in and it felt very down to earth and I love the way that she cared for my nails. I was honest and said that I didn’t care for the nail color. Honestly, I just wanted to pick something last minute for a night out. For me, it was more about them being done compared to the color choice. She’s super chill and she’s also willing to have actual conversations with you. I don’t get my nails done often, but if I do get them done again I wouldn’t mind going back at all. While I don’t care for the color, I love the shape of my nails and the presentation of them. I just got a gel manicure.Service: Gel manicures

I’ve been getting my nails done Mia since July 2022. Luckily I found her after bad experience at a nail salon in the South Hills. Mia does such a great job, I would never go anywhere else. I bring her someInspo and I always leave happy! I work in the medical field and she makes sure my nails stay beautiful and strong! I highly recommend Mia and would never go anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Mia for a year already and let me tell you that she is able to nail it every time. The price is great and you get what you pay for plus my gel always stays for solid 2,5 weeks. Mia is very honest and always takes your requests in consideration as long as you actually tell her about it. This is not a luxury spa for some entitled crowd, this is a safe space for a little girly chitchat and maybe even a therapy session lolP.S Starbucks (pictured below) is such a queen ?

No ventilation and possibly the worst gel manicure I've ever had. Really uneven filing and polish. When I got out in the daylight I could see through some spots on my nails where the polish wasn't applied well. As much as I would love to support a small, woman owned business, I can't recommend this place at all.

I’ve gotten 3 gel manicures here and I’ve loved each one! Cute little salon and I always enjoy my appointments! My manicures always last, I had on on for 4 weeks with no chipping at all. I definitely recommend Oakland Nails :)

I have never left a review before. i've never felt the need. but mia's service is SO unprofessional that i feel it's in the best interest of others for me to speak out. she is incredibly rude and is never EVER on time, you will be waiting at least 20 min past your appointment time. the shop itself is cramped, unorganized, and dirty. during my appointment, she LEFT to go get starbucks!!! and was on her phone texting guys! i was so shocked. she is VERY rough on the nails and left cuts on my cuticles. she cursed at me for moving saying i ruined them. then the nails came out VERY LUMPY AND MISSHAPEN. Now after trying to remove the nails, my beds are completely ruined. Mia layers the acrylic on so thick that the nails are EMBEDDED into my natural nails. I have to go to the doctor. Do not give her your money

BEST NAILS IN PITTSBURGH!!! Thanks to Mia, I’ve found my forever nail place. Mia is extremely personable and funny while being an efficient and timely tech. These are my dream nails, and I didn’t even tell Mia what to do! These nails are perfection. 10/10, 5 stars, could not recommend more.
