14 Black-Owned Nail Shops in Philly

One thing we appreciate is a good set of nails. Nothing like leaving the shop with a new color, shape, or a little (or a lot of) razzle-dazzle.

Y’all ready for a fresh set? One thing we appreciate is a good set of nails. Nothing like leaving the shop with a new color, shape, or a little (or a lot of) razzle-dazzle. The only thing better is supporting our community in the process.

Nails and nail art have been very important in our community since antiquity. From the nail decorations found on African mummies dating back to 5000 B.C. to nail pioneers such as FloJo, Salt-N-Pepa, and Janet Jackson, to the modern styles embodied by Sha’Carri Richardson, nail art and nail care have long been used by Black folks as a form of self-expression as much as they have been used as a form of self-care.

Whether your energy is a simple manicure with clear polish, something bright and boldly colored, or literal art pieces on your hands, these 13 Black Owned Nail shops got you covered.
