Tip Top Nails

This place is terrible! Avoid coming here! I was charged 30 $ for a acrylic fill and gel application. ¹⁄₅ stars because the lady who did my nails was nice and she took her time. She applied the acrylic very well and shaped and filed my nails better than the girl I usually go to. But when it came time to apply the gel she did a terrible job! She told me the color I originally chose was «ugly» and «didn’t look goood». So I showed her a picture of what I like and she just ignored me and picked whatever color she wanted. She then randomly started applying coats of gel all at random. She must have gotten confused or something cuz she didn’t apply a top coat on the last three fingers of my left hand, so they’re completely matte and have no shine. And some have more coats than others. It looks like a hot mess. There’s gel all over my cuticles and she filled into the skin of the outer edges of my nail bed and they hurt so bad. Even scabed over. Everything was okay until the gel application.
⁰⁄₅ stars for the salon.
The location itself is DISGUSTING. DINGY. UNSANITARY.
Run down. OLD. DIRTY
Nothing looks clean. GROSS
The owner is an older VERY LOUD Asian man who doesn’t shut up. Speaking in whatever language he does, he doesn’t care for music or even the well being of his business.
I can’t believe a place like this is even legally open.
No what’s harder to believe is that people actually go here.

I love this place. It’s very basic but the price reflects that. $ 7 for manicures and $ 12 for pedicures. Everyone is really nice, and I feel like their tools are clean. Lorna is my favorite, I see her every other week to have my manicures done. Because at these prices I can keep my manicure looking nice :) They do not have pedicure chairs unfortunately, but they still do a good job with the foot soaking tubs. I’m really happy I found this place and I’ve been going here for three months without any issues.

Normally I’m not negatives or to harsh on my review but I’ve seen what these women & a single male most of the time at the front desk literally think they kind mind fuck you (basically take advantage of you) if there or your new to the place. Customers that have been coming here for years with the same manicure or pedicurist is pretty much going to get the best customer service. Plus it very out dated (DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME AND HARD WORKING $ HERE. It’s been so long since I’ve been here but nothing’s changed. I read the reviews. Been a Unilocaler for less than a year but no one deserves to get get treated so poorly. It’s unfortunate.

I have to say the reviews are spot on. This is a very «ghetto» nail salon. We didn’t consult Unilocal reviews before arriving.
It really looked like an old 80s office. Worn blue carpeting, office chairs and desks. Small fans to dry feet and hands. They were able to take us immediately. We all chose pedis. We were told to sit in the office chairs and the ladies came to us with buckets of soapy water. We weren’t even told where to find the colors to choose.
The pedicure itself was really good. However, they did not ask if I wanted callus removal (an uncharge, I later learned). When it came time for the drying of the feet, they charge $ 1 for the paper sandals. Everything is an uncharge, which is NOT professional. I had to walk on the gross carpet to get to the fans and if I wanted the faster fan, that was a $ 1 per minute! So the $ 12 pedi turned into close to $ 15.
I would never go back here.

I refuse to give this place any stars! But I have to give it one to post. The worst customer service at a nail salon ever. They don’t have any spa chairs, they use the little Walmart do it at home tubs. Everything in here looks so old & unsanitary! I made the lady take my nail off three times because it was crooked.

This place has the WORST customer service by far. It’s very dirty and they employees are rude but they sadly do a good job. I made an appointment at 4 and the lady I made an appointment with was working on another lady’s nails and didn’t get done till 5 the only reason I waited was because my mom as getting her nails done. Honestly save your money and give it to someone who deserves it. P. s if anyone knows of a place where they do great pedicures lmk!

No music, no tv to watch. No AC or any ventilation. A fill should not take an hour. They also kept trying to sell a pedicure to me. No thank you! I noticed They didn’t have spa chairs, they use the old school plastic bin. Pretty sure they aren’t sanitized!

This place is so unsanitary it’s disgusting.
They’re open a little later than most places in fullerton, and I desperately needed my gels taken off and get a new set, so I decided to try this place out. I walked in and told the woman at the front what I was looking for and she told me they had time and to take a seat. I ended up waiting 50 minutes (mind you they sat someone else down and did her manicure even though she came in 20 minutes after I did ~ and she didn’t have an appointment). I should have walked out at this point, but like I said I really needed my nails done so I waited.
Someone finally started helping me and everything seemed okay. I picked out my color and we started the manicure. I asked her not to take any length off of my nails but she ended up filing them all to different lengths on one hand. Annoying but I figured I would rather fix that myself later than have her file even more length off.
Now at about this time, I’m looking around and realizing how DIRTY this place is. Pedicures are being done in old buckets and toenail clippings are all over the floor. Dust from acrylics and nails covers the stations and manicure tools are kept in dirty tupperware. At this point I wanted to run out screaming, but I was more than halfway through the manicure with wet gel polish on my nails. Now it’s time for gel color. My manicurist tells me that they don’t have the color I want, so to pick another. Their color selection for gels is very small, so I ended up picking a color that I don’t really like. Not a big deal, but annoying. I can’t remember the brand of the gel polish they use, but it looked like a cheap off-​brand. While she was painting the gel on she said «you wanted a pedicure too, right?» I politely said no and she scoffed and started talking to the lady at the station behind me.
Overall it was not a good experience. The sanitation is my biggest concern about this place but bad customer service is a close second. It’s been three days and my gels are already peeling off. I get them done all of the time and this rarely happens after 2 weeks. So basically I paid $ 30 to be grossed out and now I have to go somewhere else to fix my nails.

if I could give this place less then one star, I would. I get my nails done consistently and have been a few different places but decided to go to this one because it was in the area. To start, right when I walked in I never got greeted, I stood there for about 3 minutes while it was more then slow and more then enough workers to help me out. finally I get my nails done, got acrylics and gel nail polish. The nails were ok. not what I asked for but the job was done and there wasn’t much else I could say. I leave, not even a week goes by and my nail polish starts peeling off when the lady specifically told me gel lasts 2 weeks or more, I go in and show them what happened, they tell me I have to pay $ 15 for a whole new color or $ 5 to fix the 3 nails that peeled off. I told them I always get gel and that has never happened to me and I want it fixed, they continued to tell me no because they don’t know «what I do at home» so I told them I’m not paying them a dime for there mistakes and they told me they have to charge for using there polish. so I walked out and will never go again. worst nail salon I have ever been to

Just idk.

Unless you want to be talked down to by some creepy power hungry manager, pay $ 5 for some mediocre lady to take your nail polish off and be in an establishment that attracts flies, please avoid this salon.
Management needs to realize that their business depends on customers.

FECESSS FILESSSSSS!!! DO NOTTTTTT COME HEEREESTAY AWAY FROM HERE!!! EVERYTHING IN SALON IS DIRTY! Your hands are the dirtiest part of your body! I WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON TESTED FILES AT NAIL SALONS AND THERE WAS FECES on the files! If you didn’t notice they have now changed their files to white but don’t be fooled they’ve USED those on EVERYONE check the BUFFER NEXT TIME ITS SUPPOSE TO BE BLACK BUT you’ll see nail skratches on it! If you want FECES FILING YOUR NAIL GO HERE I went in about 1 ½ weeks ago for French tip and payed 25 $ 3 days later my nails turned ORANGE and each nail started LIFTING I called a week later and told them, of coarse they say come in but I’m working 9 – 9 how can I come in? Then I go in and they look at the regrowth and say too long pay for fill. I payed already and all my nails lifted what makes them think I want another UGLY set? They start talking SHIT and then completely ignore me, giving me no solutions??? STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!! EVERYTHING IN SALON IS DIRTY! Rude, waste of money, dirty salon! Poop files who knows what else! p. s nail files are porous NO way to DISINFECT! no stars, one so you can see and be warned…

If u ever come here ask for highdee. She’s really good and takes her time… I have been going to this place for years. So when I walk in everyone says hi. There very friendly people. This time she wasn’t there. So i

Mediocre place.

Another old and dirty nail salon that uses worn and outdated office furniture to sit in. They don’t have spa chairs, you soak your feet in plug-​in foot baths. I was so grossed out I couldn’t get my feet to touch the bottom of the «bowl». It was definitely cheap but you get what you pay for.

THIS WAS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN! Do not come here whatsoever !! The employees are really rude and the nails polish is dirty. It chipped off the next day, they do not have relaxing pedicure seats and they charge for air. Yes AIR!!! In order to dry your nails it is $ 1 for a 2 min air coming from a little dollar fan. This was a bad experience. Really wish I could get my money back. Try s & p nail salons on harbor and lemon. Right behind the jack in the box in fullerton. They are amazing and the best nail salon if you’re in fullerton!

The staff is amazing and kind. I’ve been a customer for over 15 years. Every client is treated well and the quality is excellent.

The service at this place is a joke. If your looking to have a good experience getting our nails done, don’t go here.
I had brought in a picture of what I wanted, the lady that was going to do my nails for me tried to talk me out of my original plan, then she said she was going to charge me extra for everything on the picture, 2 of the pre-​made 3D acrylic flowers would cost me $ 20…the bright pink acrylic powder would be $ 5…I had to changed my initial idea.
in total I would have had to pay nearly $ 50.
I got basic acrylic french tip nails with 10 added rhinestones. $ 36. Extra $ 1 charged when not using cash. The lady doing my nails had a terrible attitude and argued with me. I didn’t tip her.
Not only was I treated rudely, but this young lady, probably no older than 24, came in and when no one had helped her she walked up to one of the ladies, when she had gotten her attention she was turned away. This place is detestable. ⁰⁄₁₀. Don’t recommend.

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!
When I went it was kind of full here’s what happened:
* lady I got was really rude and didn’t really know English or acted like she didn’t.
*when I first sat down she grabbed the towel where they do your nails and dusted it let who knows how many other people’s nail dust everywhere! They are supposed to by law change the towel!!! I told her so and she got mad went to get a new one.
*then when it came to filing my nails with a black filer that had marks it was used I told her the same she then turns around talks shit about me to her partner they laugh point that she’s getting a «new one» it was white, they think just cause it’s white you can’t see it’s been used WRONG! It had signs of usage! I just told her im not stupid and told her to skip that step.
So she just painted my nails and let me tell you they didn’t last one hr out! It peeled of like a freakin sticker. My guess they make you believe they have good nail polish but have dupes.
* a lady there why my nails where drying had told me she had gotten a fungal infection the last time she had been there.
* and lastly out of all the women working there only one had a license to be a esthetician

I have been coming here for years and I never walk out disappointed. I always get a basic pedicure and sometimes a basic manicure which all the employees can do very well but if you are wanting something more fancy I think that somewhere else would be better suited for you but if you looking just to get a little polish and cleaner cuticles this is the place for you.
Just don’t come when the Vietnamese soap opera is on it will take them forever to do your nails because they are watching they TV the whole time.
