Tulip’s Nail Salon

The only reason I came here is because I was waiting around for my eyebrow tint appointment next door (L Beauty Bar). I found out a wax didn’t come with a eyebrow tint and the price for the wax at L Beauty Bar was pricey. At any rate, I’m giving this place 2 stars because she didn’t clean them up very well. I asked for «a touch up, please do not alter or shape». She did just that, but there were still strays left behind. I had to go in with my tweezers to complete her job.

Always accommodating & thorough. Love the service! Prices are moderate. I love being able to walk in and they service you right away!

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars! I got there and the place was packed. They got to me in a timely manner, and she did my nails within 30 – 35 minutes for a full set. I tried making conversation with her, and she wouldn’t talk to me, maybe she didn’t speak English, I’m not quite sure. My nail broke the same day I got it done, and I was getting married the next day, and I was on my way to rehearsal and i had no time to get my nail fixed. I don’t do a lot with my hands or manual labor, all I did was take off the buckle to my sandal, and the corner of my nail got caught slightly and broke off. Saturday was the day of my wedding, at my reception, I hugged someone and part of my nail got caught on their shirt and another nail broke! I could not believe that 2 nails were already broken the day of my wedding! I will NEVER go back here! Their nails are easily broken, and not of good quality.

They are always busy but there is a reason. I’ve gone to some other nail salons in the area and had my cuticals butchered! There mani+pedi is around $ 30 and they have the big massage chairs while your feet soak.

This used to be my go to, but I’m not sure when I’ll be back…
Last few times I’ve called and made an «appointment» –quotes bc are they even real? Can’t anyone walk in and say yeah I just talked to you, on the phone. — Anyways! I’m not falling for the slick ‘I’m sorry I thought you said tomorrow or we forgot she called too and bumped you down’. I’ve heard the same thing multiple times and sat patiently for my turn (walked out after 30 minute wait past «appointment» time today, with all the waiting… This will only be my very last resort :(

By far one of the worst places to get a pedicure. They just suck in general! I didn’t feel «clean» after. They way she cleaned my cuticle and skin around my toenail was fast and sloppy. The paint job was sooooo bad! I can’t stress that enough! I went home and took off my nail polish color! What a waste of my money.

I was running errands down by Southcenter and ran across this place. They closed at 7:00 and I was in the door at 5:40. I wish I had looked at Unilocal first. I had a mani (Shellac) and pedi. The pedicure was fine. I’m not sure why she bothered with the foot massage though as she applied no pressure. I am not a complainer but the mani (Shellac) was terrible. She was in a hurry. She put my hands to soak and in less than 30 seconds she had them back out again. She used old Shellac and it was obvious. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t start peeling off soon. I won’t be back. The score of 2 is for the pedi.

It was my first time here. I just wanted to get a quick pedicure. The store is big with open space. The lady who greeted me was very friendly. They don’t have much of a color selection… but it was ok because I just got French tip on my toes. While I was here, I read some of the reviews about how badly other people’s nails turned out and was a little nervous but at the end my toes were neatly trimmed and my tips were even. I don’t live around this area so I’m not sure I can say i will be coming back again. They seemed a little under staffed and they have a lot of walk in’s (myself included). But my experience today was not horrible and I left satisfied

After coming here a few times I came to realise this nail salon is not what I thought it was!
In the two months I’ve been going here, I have had to consistently get my nails done early because a nail has broken or popped off. Clearly, they are not taking the time and they are cheap. Four of my nails popped off this last week. I’ve only had this set on for two months.
I will NEVER go here again.

I’ve been coming to this place for over 10 years, they know what they’re doing. They are also friendly and professional. The salons are well appointed… and kept clean-​very important. When I ask for what I want to have done; I feel that they do the best work on nails and waxing than anywhere else I’d been. I have been to other places on occasion over the past 10 years as well to try them out, for a lower price, or their location and wasn’t too pleased when I left from a brow waxing, acrylic fill, or shellac paint refresh. But Tulip’s has made me happy every time.

This place is AWFUL. I went there yesterday opposed to my usual nail place because I didn’t have much time on my break. I wanted to get a new shellac over my set, and they didn’t shape my nails correctly at all. Not even a day later, the nails are sticky, and easily blackened, they look like they were done by a child. I went back to show it to them and asked for my money back. I was told they couldn’t give me my money back. I left after that, but won’t be returning EVER. It’s a shock how they are still standing. I’m Vietnamese, and I understood them when they wouldn’t let their kids play outside when a customer who was African American left.

I am very impressed with the waxing service that I recieved at Tulip’s Nail Salon this week. The cosmetologist was very nice and tried to make the whole experience comfortable for me. The wax was not too hot like I have experienced at other salons and my skin is so soft! No red or irritated skin here! They are also fairly priced and in a great location near my apartment. The only con was that they seemed a little understaffed for the weekend and there was about a 15 minute wait for waxing services. But I am excited to try their other services in the future.

Unimpressed. Never had a worse pedicure. Will not return.

After a long week, I decided to take myself out on a shopping/​pamper evening. After a couple hours of shopping, all I wanted was a manicure! What better way to end the day?
So I drove over to Tulip’s Nail Salon and asked if they were available for a manicure. It was 7:20 when I arrived, NO customer’s were in the nail salon, everyone was just sitting around. So I asked if I could get a manicure, and they said «no» because it was too late in the day. .. the door says they close at 8pm. A manicure takes 30 minutes tops!
Went to Target for a quick errand, and drove past the nail salon again at 7:45. . they still had the door propped open, and were still just sitting.
Clearly they didn’t want the business. Oh well, I found another nail salon I LOVE now.

Wonderful experience when I went in with my friend, I booked an appointment for us and when we got there we didn’t have to wait. The girl did my nails just how I wanted, perfect shape, and it was only $ 25 for a shellac manicure! Now I should’ve known by the price that I would regret it… I want to give them 5 stars for the experience, but the shellac started peeling immediately after we left that day! My friend went back and they redid her nails and were super nice about it, but they started peeling again. We have crossed this place off of our list, sadly, because we loved the experience, but shellac should last at least a week or two, not a day or two. Anyone have any good recommendations, please let me know!
Edit: by peeling, I mean totally and completely peeled off by the second day, on every single nail.

The first time I went to this nail salon I received excellent service and they did a great job… possibly because it was slow at the time. Every single time I have gone back I have received crappy service and they have done a crappy job and seems to get worse every time. I am done with this place after going back 5 or so times trying to get the same service I received the first time I was there. They don’t even offer shellac at this location. There are other salons in this area that do a much better job and actually speak to you while they give you a pedicure.
The last time I went there, the nail artist stopped half way through my pedicure to ring someone up (who was paying cash). She did not take her gloves off while ringing the person up, then she came right back to me and was going to start working on me again without changing her gloves. Maybe it is just me but this is a very disgusting, unprofessional and unclean thing to do. I asked her to change her gloves, and she did, but the fact that I had to ask her to do it seems ridiculous to me. Again, I will never be going back to this place.

I gave this place a try a few times… I went last weekend for just a mani, no polish or anything and I was in a hurry. I honestly don’t know why I even bother. I don’t know what the lady did but now two of my cuticle beds are bleeding, and on 4 of my fingers I have all these painful little hang nails that were NOT there before!!! and it only happens when I go to this place. While she was working she was just digging in my skin… at nothing!
I actually don’t think they even sanitize their tools, I don’t see any of them coming out of alcohol or anything, they just pull them out of their drawer. So gross… Now I’m paranoid I’m going to get MRSA or something. Save yourself the trouble, go to Miss Saigon… way cleaner, WAY better service and they do a WAY better job for about the same price and its just a few blocks away from this place.

I think for the price, there’s definitely far better out there. I went in for a pedicure and paid $ 23 for it (before tip). I think that in comparison to a few more dollars, I could have had far better service done somewhere else. The pedicure involved a little massage, leg exfoliation, and a hot towel. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the massage chairs or the soak — but it did have an effect on the experience.
I walked out and the only difference I saw was in the cuticles and polish. Everything else looked the same, and the back of my heels were definitely ignored. :(
Overall, I might come back again. The experience was «meh,» and I would probably do it again if my friend insisted. I feel like I’ve had much better for the price, though.

I’m a regular here and this is definitely my spot. I have tried other salons and eventually, ended up coming back here. I am always satisfied everytime I leave this salon. The gals are super nice, they remember me and always ask how I am doing. Makes you feel a little special =) which is a bonus!
I get my mani+pedi all the time but they do a really good job when they put acrylics on!

If you are looking for a convenient nail/​wax shop around the Southcenter area, you might consider here.
Inside is very spacious, clean, and best of all NO FUMES!
Christine did a good job on my pedicure, so I decided to try the brow wax. She was quick, neat and professional.
Not too many nail polish colour options, but overall a good experience.
