I was a walk-in today (a Wednesday afternoon around 2pm) and was happy they had an opening. It was pretty busy in the salon. It's an older establishment. The furniture and decor looks tired but seemed clean. The green "PASS" sign was in the front. I felt their equipment was sterilized. The pedicure was $25, and I found the nail tech to be very gentle and did a good job. The nail techs were quiet...didn't really speak to each other unless they talked about who would help a client. There were a number of folks with appointments coming in for nail and wax services. It was "hip-hopping" in there! Lol I talked to a couple of customers while we were sitting under the fans. I was curious if they were regulars and if they had tried other nearby salons. Both told me that they had tried others but always came back to HipHop Nails. I just got the pedicure done today. I'll have to see how long it holds up. But based on my experience today, I would probably come back. read more

THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER VISITED TO DO NAILS. I was shocked to see that place like even exist! I went there to remove existing gel and just do mani and keep my nails natural. The experience I got there is RIDICULOUS!!! I wish I could give 0 or even -5!! First, the lady very rudely pooled my hands and fingers, second, the way how she file my nails- I thought she will break my nails. She even didn't try To pretend that she knows how to do nails. My nails was roughly filed, gel was not properly removed and nails top was filed so they became so thin and weak! I almost wanted to cry because it's so hard to grow nails long and nice! I literally paid to make my nails bad looking. How are u even allowed to stay and do nails there?! Not surprised the place was empty! Please stay away! read more

This happened about 5-6 weeks ago. Beware of this place!! I was in as a first time client to have my bio gel set removed (with an appointment). Prior to the service I spoke to the "manager" at the front desk & explained I wanted my set soaked off slowly (NOT buffed off roughly with that machine right to my nail bed), and have a full manicure. After discussing what I'd like to have done, she vaguely pointed in the direction of a back chair in the middle of the busy salon. After sitting in my seat, around .5 seconds later a woman came bustling into the chair WHILE CHEWING her nasty ass soup noodles. I'm sorry - but working in the customer service industry you must have more common sense than that? . Not a pleasant start for 1st time customers My main complaint, however wasn't the fart-breath. After explaining everything to the front desk, she sat down and looked up at me with confused look on her face and said "take off?" And tapped my fingers. After me awkwardly telling her again I wanted to try & soak them off slowly, we can see how long my natural nails actually are, we can cut them all shorter but 1 length. So I don't look ridiculous growing them out healthy again. She immediately went to work. After turning my head to zone out & listen to CP24, she whipped out her nail scissors, and snipped my long coffin nails (gel but my natural nail was long underneath) into tiny little square chicklets. I pulled my hand away and said uh what are you doing? I just said I wanted to keep them long until the very end & then we'll decide on shape. She looked like I had offended her, and said "no short?". After snipping two of my nails I didn't have a choice but to hold my breath & accept I would have short nails for the next month. That wasn't the worst part. She opened up her drawer, pulled out a nail polish stained acrylic nail, and began to peel off my nails. After she shoved her nail extension under my nail a few times, and realizing my gel nails were stuck to my nail bed - SHE USED HER THUMB. Yeah - she actually scraped my artificial nail off with her thumb nail. I immediately pulled my hand away. I spoke up and said you're supposed to soak artificial nails off - and you're making me bleed when I held up my nail for her to see clearly she used the dirty towel she had under my hands - to try and stop the bleeding. I was bleeding from where the fake nail "tool" was shoved between my nail bed and fake nail. She pulled her medical mask down and said "soak off"? Are your employees licensed in handling artificial nail removal? Especially bio gel? Is anything here legitimate? My "technician" managed to get two of my fake nails off with a combination of her thumb nail, artificial nail "tool", a light soaking in acetone, and me leaving with all of my set intact. I was crying in my chair just before getting up to leave when the technician next to mine looked at me and said "don't look" when I was watching my girl struggle to salvage the situation. While this whole ordeal was happening, a smaller pedicure group came in - a mom and two small daughters in pretty sure. They all began speaking in their language. The lady at the desk spun around and yelled something to the opposite end of the room, and my girl spoke up, with the technician beside her (who was doing top coat on her client. I got up sniffling saying "maybe I'll have to grow them out", she picked up her cuticle tools, buffer and everything & sat down in a pedicure chair 4 feet away. Does your salon sanitize their equipment between clients? I wasn't even out the door - I stopped at the front of the store to grab a card on the way out - and when I looked for her she was removing polish, starting her next client with NO SANITIZATION. I can't even imagine how gross their pedicure peds and everything else is. read more

The service here is horrible it took to 15 minutes to understand what was being asked of me. Then she digs into my cuticle and make my fingers bleed and to top this off the nail design looks horrible. Never, never again. read more

This place is not clean and hygienic as I have witnessed that their cleaning of the supplies are not done appropriately. Came here for a wax and the lady ripped off a good chunk of my skin. I'll spare everyone the details. They require better training and need to spend their time doing clients waxes properly. Will never come back here again. read more

GROSS! I went to this place in the summer and it was so unsanitary. Absolutely disgusting. Their customer service was also terrible. they are callous and rude and rough. They actually cut a girl's hand while she was getting her nails done and she was crying and in so much pain. I was so upset. I cannot believe this place is still open. It's quite obvious that they bought their pass sign because their equipment was not clean. If you don't want to get a communicable disease don't visit this place. YOU COULD NOT PAY ME TO GO BACK THERE! read more

I walked in for a fill for acrylic nails. Instead, I get a whole new set which I didn't want or need, I asked for acrylic and got shellac and I wanted coffin not square shaped. Only one of the women there do it perfectly. The owner was rushing to do my nails rlly and was doing other things on top of it. read more

I used to be very happy coming to this location, still am! I always book with Linda!!! She is the best. However it seems like all the other regular workers have moved on and the owner hired many new workers. The new workers are very friendly....sometimes too friendly...one girl seems a bit crazy to me....she is always singing and laughing really obnoxiously. I go to these places to relax.. Its hard to with all the noise. The mani/pedi was good as per usual..the atmosphere was not. read more
