About

Nail Illusion was established in 1984 and is located in Moon Township, in Allegheny County. The salon describes itself as the first nail salon in Moon Township and as community focused, and states that it is a certified salon. Tricia Sample started working at the salon in 1994 and became its owner on June 10, 2013.

Most of the menu is nail work: acrylic and dip sets, fills and soak-offs, gel and Luminary Builder Gel services, natural-nail manicures and pedicures, nail art, and manicures and pedicures for children aged 10 and under. Pedicures and spa treatments include a soak, cuticle and callus work, scrub, massage and polish, and the spa manicure adds a mask. A Permanent French Manicure Look is available on artificial nails and needs no polish, though it needs upkeep every four to six weeks as the nails grow out.

Hair services were added in 2021 and cover cuts for women, men and children, color, highlights, perms, updos, wash and style, and Brazilian Blowouts. Eyebrow tinting and waxing, along with lip and chin waxing, are also offered.

Visitors park and enter around the back of the building. The entrance is level, and there is an accessible parking spot and an ADA-accessible restroom. Nail appointments are booked at (412) 269-0510 and hair appointments at (412) 269-0511. Tuesdays and Sundays are by appointment only. The salon accepts cash, checks and credit cards, and it hosts birthday and bachelorette parties. Nail repairs needed within five days of an appointment are free. Cancellations without 24 hours notice and no-shows are charged the full appointment fee, and disposable flip flops are available for $3 for pedicures.

Nail filing is done by hand, and the salon does not use drills.
