I live out of town and every time I come to town to visit family I make sure to always stop here to get a pedicure. I have never had them give me a bad pedicure, hurt me, or had a negative experience. They all are always so nice and pleasant. I can just relax and know my pedicure will be great. read more

Love these ladies! Do a great job with nails and fairly inexpensive. I definitely recommend

I called in the morning to schedule a 3 PM appointment for a powder dip manicure. I arrived a little early but was seated right on time. Tom began working on my nails, but it seemed like he was planning to apply new powder over the old, and I was concerned the colors wouldn't match. I stopped him and asked if he could remove the old layer first. He cheerfully agreed, but I suspect the extra time required was making him run late for his next appointment. At that point, I was handed over to Julie, who finished the manicure. While I'm sure Tom would have done a great job, Julie was absolutely fantastic--I've never had a better powder dip manicure! It was so well done that I'm considering skipping my usual appointment at home before my desert vacation and instead visiting Julie and Tom as soon as I arrive. I'll be sure to book an appointment a few days in advance and let them know I'll need the old dip soaked off first so they can plan accordingly - especially since they are a small, family run business and not the multi-seat, many staffers emporiums I am used to. If you want quality work and personal attention go to Tip Top Nails. read more

Excellent service but a bit overpriced. Basic manicure and pedicure cost $65 wow I normally pay 40-45$

When I moved from Los Angeles to Palm Springs 5 years ago, to my dismay, I had a really hard time finding a really good nail person. I went to several nail salons and it was just bad every time. I finally was referred to someone and had went to her up until last year when she had a baby and didn't come back. So I went on another search and couldn't find anyone who was just as good. A month ago, I passed by Tip Top Nails and decided to drop in. I made an appointment with one of the ladies there. The next day Katrina was there filling in for Julie & Tom because they were on vacation. I decided to go with something simple to start since I was just trying them out so I went with a basic mani/pedi. Katrina was so personable and did such a great job! I was kinda sad that she wasn't going to be there when it would be time for me to go back but I went ahead and gave it another go. I made an appointment and this time Julie did my nails and pedi. Julie is so nice! She made me feel really comfortable. And she did a great job. All of the people there were regulars and have been for years so it says a lot about their service. That pedi had me falling asleep, it was so relaxing. I'll definitely be going back! read more

The service was good and they quickly accommodated me as a walk-in. The salon is clean and comfortable. Ngang was very accommodating. However, less than one week after my gel manicure that I supposed to last at least two weeks, the polish is beginning to lift on a couple of fingers. I have severe bronchitis and can't go in for a fix, but will call, and I am confident they will fix the situation. read more

Very calm and clean establishment. Very sweet lady's. Tina always does an amazing job when I get a pedicure.

Great service and friendly staff! Always ready for you when you arrive and do a great job.

Super amazing nail spa! I called in for an appointment and was asked to come in half an hour. Super clean, very comfortable place. My feet felt so much better afterward! I have found my new nail place in Palm Springs! Thank you Tip Top! read more

Excellent! I was on vacation and my gel manicure was chipping. She got me in and gave me a new set for a very reasonable price. Very good!

I love this place! Always feels like I'm getting the VIP treatment. The personal touches to what you're asking for is so worth the visit. No rushing at all. Nails - Sam does such a great job doing your nails. He is gental, takes his time, does not make your nails thick. Once he's done working his magic, your nails come out looking natural. I don't like colors so trust me he does a very good job. Pedicure - Another spa like experience. Very gentle with your feet and attentive to the fact that once scrubbing begins, so does the tickling. Lol. read more

This place is near a McDonald's and next to a hair salon, kind of easy to miss. Be sure to scan the signage and you'll see a red sign to help you.. Heres what I got: a full set of acrylic nails, pedicure and both with gel polish added for $85. A male did my nails and feet and he was very gentle and neat. (Sorry I didn't catch his name, but he was very nice) I got exactly what I asked for (natural style and polish) and left a very happy woman lol. I will for sure be back! Oh the other workers there were also polite and helpful. P.s. this place is CASH ONLY so be sure to bring some!! read more

I think I have found my "go to" nail salon. Since moving to Palm Desert, I have found mani's and pedi's to be adequate at best. Then, on a whim, I decided to try Tip Top Nails. I was pleasantly surprised. I knew right away I had a good manicurist by his technique and I was right. I left with a beautiful dip manicure including a pretty hand painted flower on my ring finger. The salon is very clean and welcoming. Cash only preferred and open only until 5:00. They operate by appointment only but same day appointments available. Call ahead. I found Tip Top to be customer friendly (not all nail salons are). It was nice to feel appreciated and not like cattle. I will definitely return. read more

I went to tip top to get powder nails for an event. I chose them due to their higher Yelp reviews. However, within 3 days of getting them done my powder chipped. Having had powder before, I could see the technician was applying it incorrectly but figured she knew what she was doing. She had also cut me in several places, and left my nails at inconsistent shapes/lengths. Lastly, the posted price for powder manicure and spa pedicure totaled to $65, yet they charged me $70. I'm not one to make a stink of things, but when my nails chip within 3 days, and I was over charged, it's worth a bad review. read more

Was able to walk-in and get a men's manicure on the spot. Always a fine job from the nail technicians

I have been looking for a new salon and my barber across the parking lot recommended Tip Top. He was absolutely correct! I left with the best gel manicure I have had in a long time! I love that the shop feels very comfortable and familiar. The staff is incredibly friendly and it's obvious they have many dedicated repeat customers. I'm certainly a new customer!! read more

I can't speak to the quality of the nail salon because I was rudely and abruptly kicked out in the middle of my pedicure. When I walked in the salon was completely empty with one woman working at the front. I asked for a mani pedi and she told me to pick a color and sit down. She was very rude but I chalked it up to her having a bad day. Once I sat down she started working on my pedicure. 3 minutes in, another customer walked in and the woman working on my pedi seemed to call someone on the phone (perhaps to come help the other customer) but no one came out to help. So she asked me (really told me) to come back for my manicure because she doesn't have time to do it anymore since the other customer apparently had an appointment. I asked her why she didn't tell me that when I came in, and she explained that I don't have time to come back as I rushed over while my baby was napping. She very curtly snapped at me and said "do you want the pedicure or not?!" I obviously did not want to receive services from someone so rude for one, and who would fail to deliver the services promised. It was a horribly off putting experience that did nothing but waste my time. I will surely never be coming to this nail salon again and will urge anyone I know not to trust them with their nails based on their unprofessional and down right rude attitude. read more

Wonderful environment and great manicure. Will definitely be back. Aldo, lots of parking.

Pedicure completed in 30 minutes top. Very rushed and no attempt at tender care of my slightly ingrown front toe. The massage part- my favorite- consisted of a quick application of lotion with a few thumb applications to pressure points- lasted under a minute per foot! I had an appointment but several walk-ins came in and the owner was more interested in getting the walk-ins serviced vs. doing a thorough job with me. read more

I just love this place. The owners and staff are amazing . Very professional from entry to exit! Well done!

Came to the salon as a visitor, traveling on vacation. They stated they are cash only but are able to accept other forms of payment. Purchased a gel mani and pedi and less than 2 days the gel lifted and peeled. Not satisfied for the money I spent. read more

Very impressed with how quickly and efficiently my nails were transformed! Such care was taken, but I was in and out in an hour, which I love. I cant stand sitting there forever, and she fixed my nails with some powder acrylic and beautiful gel color quicker than I've ever seen. I wish they were in Reno where I live.
