Weekly in the Pittsburgh Brown Mamas facebook group, if not more often, we get asked for suggestions for black owned service providers. It’s important to us to go to someone who looks like us and knows how to take care of us best. We are on a mission to provide lists to help our fellow sistas out. This post is for the black owned nail salons and techs in the Pittsburgh area.

I think most can agree going to the nail salon is a form of selfcare. Finding black owned nail salons or techs is the icing on the cake. It’s your me time. I don’t know about you but I can relax, vent or just share about what’s been going on in my life. My manicures even end with a quick hand massage, so I leave feeling light, pretty and pampered. But, if getting your nails done isn’t your thing but you desire to release the heaviness, you can check our list of black therapists in Pittsburgh. Either way, we don’t want you to skip out on your selfcare sis!
