Tucked on Glenway Avenue in West-Price Hill, Megan Nails has long been the spot Cincinnati locals hit when they need a fast fill-in or a no-frills pedicure on a lunch break. The studio is compact—five manicure stations up front and four spa chairs in back—but bright, orderly, and open seven days a week. Walk-ins are the norm, so you can swing by after work without fussing with an app. Helen and Jenny, the resident tech duo, have opposite reputations—Helen is quick and all business; Jenny is chatty and extra meticulous—but both work with hospital-grade disinfectant and fresh buffers for every client.
