Oakland Nails

Oakland Nails is a solo operation run by Mia, a skilled nail artist who's built a loyal following in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. This intimate, cash-only salon stands out for Mia's creative nail art expertise and personalized approach—she's known for translating inspiration photos into custom designs that complement clients' skin tones. First-time visitors receive their own personal file and buffer kit to bring to future appointments. Despite the language barrier, Mia welcomes international clients, taking time to ensure clear communication about services. Her work is particularly praised for durability, with acrylics showing no lifting even after three weeks of heavy wear.
