Titop Nails

If only you were allowed to rate zero stars.
6÷8÷16
1^st issue: Kevin, the boss, did my nails (full set: coffin — French tip) & there were leftover acrylics & nail polish all over my fingers. When he did the top coat to finish off the touch, he didn’t let the first 2 coats before the top coat to dry. The results were very bubbly & not smooth. My fingers & nails are a complete mess. **This isn’t my first time here either.
2^nd issue: Anna, who does both manicure & pedicure & have been working there for only a week, already have several complaints. She did my pedicure (with all white toe nails) & this was my first time having it at this place. First off, she did not wore ANY gloves. At other stations, I saw every worker with gloves, except her. Second, when she helped me took out my ingrown toenail, it was bleeding. By the rules/​book/​law of working at a nail place, you must use some kind of medicine to cure the bled area AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (I know this because I know at least 3 people who are now PROFESSIONALS). Last, but not least, she used a brush with the nail polish remover to help clean certain areas with nail polish. She accidentally dropped the brush onto the floor & used the SAME brush on my foot. How disgusting & unprofessional.
3^rd issue: I went to my mom because she was still having her pedicure done (she was on the opposite corner from me so she wasn’t able to witness the 2^nd issue). I told her exactly everything & she had to complaint to the boss, Kevin. Kevin had to pull her from working on someone else’s pedicure process to come to apologize. We do not speak Vietnamese, but the lady was saying something familiar to she didn’t do anything wrong & said bad languages behind us.
4^th issue: a customer after my pedicure went to the same lady who did mine. She sat across from my mom & I, so she was complaining how that same lady dug into her nails too deep. I asked her about it & she told me that she told the lady to stop repeatedly. The lady didn’t stop, yet continued. I saw her foot & the corner of her toenails bled too.
5^th issue: My mom went to Christine, the nail artist, to have her design done on her pedicure. My mom again told both Kevin & Christine (they sat next to each other) about all the issue. Instead of having Anna to take a day off, apologize for the unsatisfactory, or even a refund. They both defended Anna. My mom told me to Unilocal about this & Kevin tried to threat me to not Unilocal it because it would look bad on his business. They even refused to let her have a day off because of the complaints.
Of course, my mom raised her voice where the whole place can hear between her & the defenders. Very unprofessional, disgusting, & horrible service. I don’t recommend here at all, trust me. It may be cheap or even look «good» on their Instagram, but it’s not worth your time to come here.

The wait was not the best on a Friday! But Christine really did a good job on my nails I love it! My first time by the way &I I recommend her for any designs

Love thus place. Christine is very quick & good. I hate get my nails done sometimes because I don’t have the time. Sucks when you make the time and you’re not happy with results, thankfully that is not the case for this place. I’ll post a pic of my nails after this review. I don’t understand why the reviews for this place is not better. There IG account reflects the quality of their work, but not the timeliness or friendliness.

This place is horrible! From unsanitary to roach infested! They rip you off and boy do they talk bad about their customers. I’m an educated woman who happens to speak 5 different languages and understood every word they said! WORD FOR WORD! You all should be put out of business for not caring, among other things… WARNING!!! Cash only because they rip you off and don’t report it. Don’t believe all the low ratings on here? Be my guest :) you’ve been warned!

Worst place ever!!! The guy made my nails an uneven length and when I told him to fix all of them after I applied gel And my design he got upset. Not only that I tipped him 6 dollars but he didn’t care how he was doing his job. My design that is gel chipped that same day. Never coming back here again!!!

How they promote it on Instagram makes you really want to go but once your there they half ass the job, they over price for nails (medium length coffin shape + matte gel) they look ugly. Not even a coffin shape. Never again

Was referred here by the owner of my regular nail salon, since I travel so far after moving. The prices and work are amazing!

This place is the worse place to get your nails done. I came in at 5pm and have been waiting an Hr to get a freaken fill. That doesn’t even take 20 mins with including polish and drying them… Every Time I come here there is always something. It’s super annoying bc they are some what decent and they are not in the straight up hood. Damn Gina what do I have to do to get my freakn fill. Lame AF

You see their Instagram and it makes you wanna run to this place, but once you are there what a disappointment! :(They have ZERO customer service!!! You walk in and nobody greets you, you just have to sing in with your name and service wanted and sit down in this dirty waiting room/​STORAGE. The place looks like a factory, everybody just looking down doing their own thing, when I finally had the chance to ask somebody how long I had to wait to get a full set she looked at the list and counted the names and I was number 9 (8 people in the waiting room before me) without counting the people waiting for a different service!!! After a 30 min wait I decided it was not worth it and walked out, I know they do a good variety of styles, but once you are there and you see the place it makes you think about the cleanness of place and tools.

Bad service, the guy doing my nails was so rude. I hate it when you ask for something and they still do what they think is best or quicker, I asked to please file the sides and he said no they look good like that … I’m paying for a service please service accordingly … Not coming back !

I came here thinking they would do a good job. The first time I came I got a gel manicure. It didn’t even last a week before the polish started chipping. I thought maybe it was a bad batch. I came again and decided to get acrylic nails thinking they’d last longer. Henry rushed through the whole job. I thought maybe he’s just quick. When they finished I noticed some nails were way thicker than others. I had to go to a wedding and figured they’d do since I was short on time. The nails kept disappointing. Literally a few days later they started lifting! The gel polish they used started chipping as well. I couldn’t believe it because that had never happened to me. That was the final straw for me. I tried messaging them but they just ignored me. Learn from my experience and don’t waste your money here.

I was a client for almost 7years, they had good and nice nails but ever since they became «Instagram» famous everything is Sloppy they don’t care for service do half ass jobs got over pricey for their work. Kevin dosent care anymore I feel he’s just running the business just to run it. I stop going there, I found a New place not well known but great for me.

I used to frequent this place regularly every 2 weeks, it’s VERY affordable for acrylics and it is SO SO close to my house and they have Free WiFi. So why 1 star you may ask?
This place is disgusting and unsanitary. They are all about quantity over quality. I dare you to find something clean about the way they do nails. I only have gotten acrylics and designs and it just irked me. Justin is a total sweetheart and has great customer service and this review is not a reflection of him but the owners and management.
The nail art is a hit or miss. There are only two girls that do it which can be a scheduling nightmare if it’s busy, and their work is not the most stellar but they sure charge you like they are.
On my last and final visit here the fat Jabba The Hut twin owner was so rude and condescending I literally said «NO, fuck this and fuck you I’m not giving you anymore of my money after you talked to me like that» and he said laughed. WOW amazing customer service and professionalism.
I had went to a new guy and he charged me wayyyy more than I normally pay. I asked why and for a service breakdown and that’s when Shrek came waddling over very confrontational and started raising his voice and naming stuff. I said okay I normally don’t pay that and he then yells THIS IS AMERICA YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING HERE OK. YOU STOP TALKING.
Lol oh the irony. Really dude for someone that runs a Cash Only establishment are you reporting all your earnings? Are you even paying you workers a fair wage? Because I know sometime’s they don’t even get a break.
I will never ever return to this craphouse.

Still love this place. Second fill and there beautiful. It wasn’t as crowded considering I went during the week I wasn’t complaining.

Loved how huge this place is, and the CHEAPEST prices that I have ever paid for a fill and gel $ 25, half of other places for me. Maybe I just got lucky but I love my nails, the guy (didn’t get his name) plus he was really fast, and still did a good job. Can’t attest for the chipping of the polish (like other Unilocalers have stated) if it does, I’ll update my review.

Not a fan… Service was not up to par but I guess I should’ve expected it! I was harassed by the woman who did my pedicure to pay, even though I wasn’t finish with my services (they hadn’t even started working on my nails at that point). She even came to ask me a 3^rd time to pay her and I had to raise my voice slightly in order to get her to understand that I would pay all together. Not to mention that after I told her twice that I didn’t want the callus remover, she asked /​insisted 2 more times.
The man who did my full set did a rush job and passed me over to the painter who didn’t do the greatest job at painting my nails. I even had to tell her that she needed to paint up to my cuticle, because my nail should not be showing.
I really wanted to like this place, considering that I drove all the way from Cypress to try it out… Their designs on their IG page are way better than in person. Won’t make that drive again

My new favorite nail place. After hearing so many good things about this place, I decided to make the drive out to East LA and try it out.
There’s SO many places in Los Angeles to get your nails done but this place tops them all. There’s endless possibilities of creative options and colors here for nail design.
I had called ahead to make an appointment and was told that I have to call right at 9:30am to make an appointment otherwise it’s walk ins only.
Upon walking in, they have you sign in. After signing in, I was immediately taken care of so I questioned why bother signing in at all? Haha
I went to one station where the guy (didn’t get his name) started to put on and shape my set of acrylic nails. What I loved immediately was that they take their time and analyze your nails over and over again to make sure they are all even and are to your liking. Even the owner will come
around and make sure the technician is doing a good job. I chose to do my nails almond shape and a short length so because they were shorter, they ended up looking pointy. Almond shape is $ 25 and up
After putting on the nails, they ask you to wash your hands and proceed to the design station.
At the design station a female technician (also didn’t get a name) started to do my nails using Matte Black gel polish. The process is interesting. They paint on the polish, and after it hardens in the UV light, they remove the glossy top coat and it leaves a nice matte color. I also decided to go with the Gel matte color so it would last longer; $ 10 extra.
I decided to keep it simple and add a design $ 5 for both hands. I added a white Union Jack flag design on my left hand and a neat chain design on my right hand.
The tech kept saying «thank you, thank you» whenever I would ask questions which I thought was so funny and sweet.
Total came out to be $ 40 but like the saying goes, «you get what you pay for» so i don’t mind paying extra as long as I’m happy with my nails and they’re done well!
Overall the service is great, the workers are all so friendly. I had brought only $ 40 in cash with me so I couldn’t leave a good tip but I will when I get my fill done. If you want exotic nails with bling and intricate designs, this is the salon to go to! They will even tag your finished creative nails on their Instagram page.

I don’t do my nails very often, but when I need to this is the best place to go. Love it! They are always busy, that shows how good they are. Is worth the wait.

I highly disliked this place! I went today to get myself a mani+pedi and the lady didn’t clean up my toes right. I had my nails colored when walking in and you could still see it around the corners of my finger nails. She didn’t even bother to remove it correctly. Once the lady was done she «cleaned» the spa chair with a bit of dish washing soap and a quick rinse. They use dirty multi colored rags. To top it off they talked way too much amongst themselves and stared at me like they were clearly talking about me. I’m really worried and hoping I don’t get fungus. Never going back. I should’ve gone to my regular place.

New location across the street is way better! They definitely upgraded for the better, more space, cleaner environment, looks nicer and they have a waiting room which was much needed! They also added in several spa chairs aside from the stations to do hands separately.
I always have Kevin do my nails this last Full set stayed on for a little bit over three weeks! That’s without a fill!
Christine does a great job with the nail design!
This is literally the only place I go to you to have my Acrylic full set done
I do however go to another place for my feet
The price is reasonable considering the work is pretty decent
They are usually a bit busy so they do rush. But my nails still lasted 3 to 4 weeks when you get gel on top of acrylic
