Allen’s Spa

Great nail salon overall. They have big nice new pedicure chairs and the place in general feels clean. They take credit cards (except amex) and you can even tip on your card (rare for a nail place). They have a pretty big seletion of polishes, and most of the technicians do a great job. One time I had a woman who was a little to rough on pushing back and cutting my cuticles to the point that it hurt, but other than that one time they’ve always been great.

update: went on a vacation for 8 days and ALL OF MY NAILS lifted and chipped off, so had to rip off any remains so my real nails weren’t pulled too. extremely mad I gave this place a try: heed the warning

They do an awesome job on nails! However… the service is hit or miss even if you make an apt. It’s took 3 ½ hours to get a pedi and fill and I made an apt. Two ladies got out of the pedi area because they had been sitting there for 30 min just soaking… it’s a shame too because they, in my opinion, to the best nails!

Just got my nails done! So in love with them! Great job! I’ve been at this place before, now it’s after renovation, all new professional equipment, nice atmosphere, great service. I got my nail done by Nyz Nguyen. Check out the picture. Amazing job! Best nail designer in Pittsburgh ! I strongly recommend to everybody!

I used to love this nail salon when it first opened. I recently moved back to the area and can see that it has gone downhill. The techs rush through each service and there is nothing relaxing about the experience. My most recent manicure was awful. The woman spent about 20 total seconds filing my nails and in less than 24 hours, the nail polish from two of my nails completely peeled off. I think it’s time to find a salon which cares more about its customers’ experience.

The only reason that I’m not giving this place 1 star is because they did a good paint job. The technician was rough and did not listen to a thing I said. I will never go back.

I wanted to take my team for a fun little pampering off-​site, Allen’s Spa had some great Unilocal reviews, so without having been, we decided to try it out. It’s a spacious and clean place. The nail technicians were friendly and thorough. It is a little pricey (used to CA and NY prices) but it’s worth it. I’ll definitely go back to treat myself again.

I finally found a great nail place!!! Great atmosphere and super friendly people. The salon is clean and open. They have soooo many gel polish colors. Easily over 100! Definitely will be coming back!

My friend recommended this place to me so I tried it out yesterday with a friend for a pedicure, and I loved it! As soon as you walk in you can see that the place it well kept and clean — BIG plus! It’s very classy but still comfortable, and from what I experienced, the people working there are really nice. The prices are reasonable and I left totally satisfied. The pedicure was great and I genuinely enjoyed myself. what more can you ask for? I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be going back for more services!

I’ve moved away from the area and I now miss this place! I highly recommend it.
One of the cleanest nail salons I’ve been to. Friendliest and most outgoing staff.
I’ve been going for over two years and most of that has been getting gel manicures. They do a great job cleaning the cuticles and shaping the nails. Polish is applied precisely (I’ve had salons get it on the cuticles or skin before).
Only complaints on the gel manicure are that it’s the most expensive I’ve had: $ 32. But I can usually get close to three weeks of wear out of that. Also, the polishes themselves can be hit or miss. I have a favorite color and they were out for awhile one time and another someone actually poured another color in the bottle.
I’ve had the pedicures a few times as well. Also, usually great but just a few more dollars than most places charge.

Terrible!!!
Most rude staff I have ever encountered. On a recommendation, my fiancé’ went there two days prior to our wedding. They were more concerned with «closing the books» and getting payment than answering questions about services.
NEVER go here… ever. Not only did she wait patiently for 3 HOURS, but was treated like a nuisance.

On my way home from work I will stop in for the occasional mani/​pedi. The staff is really friendly. They will chat if you are in the mood but if you want to stare in to a blank abyss while they are rubbing your feet they won’t judge you. Mani/​pedi are 3 star worthy, long and relaxing but chip quickly. Eye brow waxing are 5 stars.
Pros: never a wait, affordable, clean, friendly, solid colors, private room when you can lay down to get your brows did
Cons: Nails chip easily (might try the gel mani next time)
Overall: Solid nail spot. Will always go back

I went to Allen’s to get a pedicure. I had never had one before and I was only going to drive my girlfriend there but she convinced me to get one too. It was actually pretty good and made my feet look much better. (girlfriend was really happy)
I would go back again.
