Sydney V.

Tip top nails did an excellent job on my nails! Richard was my nail tech and he did a fantastic job. My nails still look great weeks later! I was able to get in and out very quickly. The salon itself is clean and inviting. Thanks again!

It's hard to tell but there is a crack in the middle of my pinky nail which is very painful,

I was super excited to visit Tip Top. Their nail art looked amazing and had mostly positive reviews but Im afraid my first appointment will be my last. They made my nails look pretty but didn't take my old acrylics off properly at all. Just ripped them off even when it hurt instead of soaking in acetone (which is what should be done). Really damaging and my nails are in so much pain but I can't do anything about it. The new acrylics also feel loose and fragile. I'm super upset because the people there were nice and it's a family business but they should know that it's not proper to remove acrylic that way. UPDATE: It is exactly two weeks later and every single one of my nails has fallen off. The first one fell off not even a week after I got them done :( UPDATE 2: My mom removed her toenail polish from her pedicure to find FUNGUS growing underneath it! So gross!!!

Came in July 11 for a SNS dip manicure with tips and no design. Ended up waiting almost 45 minutes for the tech to finish removing my previous set, granted I was a walk in. I also had asked for coffin shaped nails and was initially told no because of the length I asked for, despite having this length done many times before. She also ended up running the buffer over my finger so much that I bled, despite saying it hurt. I did not want to be rude so I paid and left, but after a literal day this was what I ended up with. Ended up paying $75 for a basic SNS dip + shape and no design, and it was not great quality. Only 4 days in and nails are chipped, cuticles torn up, and a mess with polish all over skin.

I went here on a spur of the moment thing. I was originally at another salon down the street but due to their terrible service I decided to give this salon a try. It's not anywhere fancy, but the service makes up for what it lacks in modern decor. Richard did my nails and the shaping was perfect. His wife was very nice and friendly. You could tell that returning customers felt very comfortable. UPDATED REVIEW- Although I love the service here, and they are quick and efficient, I am very disappointed in the work I had done last night. I didn't ask for them to fix it because I didn't want to take up any more time since my daughter was with me and it was the end of the night. I just wanted to leave the picture so people could see the work.

Love my nails!! Great shape and price. They got me in quick and were very safe in abiding by COVID-19 standards.

Basic mani pedi. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere. The technician didn't seem rushed as she took her time to do a great job. I'll definitely be back... soon.

I REALLY wanted to like this place. I just moved to Plaza Midwood two months ago and decided to find a nail salon in the area. I looked at the reviews on here and decided to go to Tip Top. Listen, the atmosphere is great. All of the nail techs are really friendly and they had the TV on "American Idol Greatest Clips" or something like it, so everyone had something to look at/talk about. I got a pedicure and a full set of acrylic nails. The pedicure was pretty good and I thought my nails looked alright when I left, however, about 6 of my nails lifted off within just a few days. read more

I have been to multiple nail salons in the area (Polished, Dilworth nails, Daily Details, J'Adore, La Pure Organic), and I have to say I had the best experience this past weekend at Tip Top Nails. I arrived on Saturday mid-morning and was taken immediately. From the relaxing massage chairs to the paraffin wax/ heated hand mitts, my pedicure and gel manicure were absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. I definitely will be back! read more

This cozy Plaza neighborhood nail salon is my private sanctuary in Charlotte. Top-notch, friendly service with drinks on the side. Owners and technicians remember their regulars, treat them like family and are always ready to welcome newcomers. This is a favorite spot among more than a few locals, and the finished quality and styles are unparalleled! Swing by and tell them Ivy sent you.

As I was riding down Central Ave I came across tip top nails and decided too stop, and the staff were friendly and did a excellent job. The shop was clean and was just recently designed, the equipment was clean which was very important to me because since being in the Queen City I had patronize a shop and ended up with a nail fungus.

I'm seriously trying to figure out how this place has close to 5 stars. I asked for coffin shape and one of my nails has actually been put under ground bc it's WAY skinnier than my other nails. The pedicure was OKAY, nothing special at all. My massage was rushed so i didn't get to enjoy it. I shouldn't have tipped them but I did. I could've kept my $5 bc it wasn't worth it. I'll give them 2 out of 5 stars. I will not returning! read more

This was my first time coming here. It was a Saturday so I called early to make an appointment. It was super busy and they seemed maybe short staffed? There was maybe 4 people working total, 1 person on pedicures, 1 person doing both, and 2 on nails. The owner was very nice but seemed distracted and rushed doing my nails. I got acrylics for the first time in years so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was clearly rushed. One of my nails is totally crooked, like 100% visibly crooked! It's been less than 2 weeks and I've had 3 nails fall off and another 3+ are peeling up from the bottom. The acrylics were put on very haphazardly so the thickness, texture, shape, and size aren't uniformed. The length is too long, the design is really nothing like what I showed her in the pics for how the color should look and it was just a variant of a French manicure. I'm very disappointed with the nails especially since I paid $50+ for something that literally is falling off my hand in less than 2 weeks - it's barely even time for a fill in yet. However! The guy doing the pedicure was AMAZING!!!! He shaped my nails so beautifully and cut out all of my nail that was becoming ingrown on the sides. He really took his time and did an amazing job. Truly it's the most thorough pedicure I've ever received. The only downside is the products they use for the pedis aren't the most luxurious but I didn't really expect all natural organic products or anything crazy from this location anyway. If the nails weren't so bad I'd go back ONLY for the pedicure but the job was done so badly on my nails I don't think I could risk losing anymore money here. I read the reviews before going and didn't expect this bad of a job on my nails or I would have not gone. I'm hoping it was just a bad day for them. read more

Made an appointment for 2pm, at 2:15 I was still waiting with my feet in the water and no one ready to take me. They had taken four walk in pedicures ahead of me, within a minute of me getting there. When I asked how long it would be, the owner told me that "they don't rush here." I told him I wouldn't have made an appointment... And then he told me I should probably reschedule to make another appointment... Rude, and the AC was off so it was uncomfortably humid. Would never go back. read more

OMG AMAZING 100/10 RECOMMEND!!!!! Hi I'm Miss. Greta and I went to your divine nail saloon on this very day. Before I came let me tell you hun my toes done looked like they been to WW1,2 and 3. They had foliage and a whole garden growing out them nails gosh darn it. Your amazing saloonist took me under her thick wing and cleaned up them damaged toes. The procedure was so exciting and really stuck with me. The feeling of the fresh air through those nails are really makin me feel like i'm one of those lil 20 year old youngsters runnin round getting all happy with my little pals. Gosh yall really worked some witchcraft there! Thanks a billion honey bunches and will most definitely be comin back. (Another amazing addition was that my darlin ex husband came back and really enjoyed the view in my new walmart flip flops!!! Gosh I love that women!!) Well bye now!!!! Kisses and slaps Miss.

I went to this salon for the first time and experienced horrible customer service. First during my pedicure the technician thought it was a good idea to place the excess skin from under my big toe on top of my foot which was extremely unprofessional. The gentleman that did my nails did not ask me what shape I wanted because he was preoccupied with making sure the caucasian customers that came in after me, being serviced by someone else got whatever they needed. He kept stopping my service to interject into theirs, and attempted to send me to wash my hands with crooked misshappen nails and I left. I don't recommend people of color patronize them.I witnessed and african american come in and ask for one nail fixed and was turned away they were closing, 3 caucasian customers came in after her with full set requests and were serviced you draw your own conclusions. read more

I am absolutely obsessed with my nails. after 30 min of driving around looking for a nail salon, i called their shop and got in within 10 min. I went to jenny with horrible uneven bumpy acrylic on lay nails. i was sooo embarrassed! but immediately when i sat down with jenny i knew i was going to be taken care of. we started over with a fresh set. she did amazing and was gentle! she constantly checked throughout the process to make sure that i was satisfied. which i was! i even got a pedicure with gel french tip that turned out soo cute. on top of that the atmosphere is so welcoming and peaceful. each of the staff had great personality and actually talked to you ! this was overall an excellent experience for me. i will definitely be back ! read more

Drove 30 mins to this place bc I saw the pictures of others nails. They accepted me and my friend as walk-ins. Jenny helped me recover from the last place I went, as my nails were crooked and very thick. She knew what she was talking about & was thoughtful. She didn't want to give me a new set bc she said these were too tight & it would hurt my real nails and ruin them. She was so sweet and held good convo while doing my nails! Price wasn't bad at ALL. I will be driving30 mins always to see her. SO IN LOVE WITH MY NAILS. She suggested I do the chrome on my two fingers and just couldn't be more happy with her & my nails. read more

It's been 4 weeks and my nails haven't chipped. Obviously it's time I get them redone, but it's hard to come by places where they don't even chip after this long! The edges are still all secured to the nail too. One thing I hate about other places is when after a week or two the edges start to wear off and washing your hair is a nightmare bc it always gets caught under the polish. New go to place. This photo is after FOUR weeks read more

I will NEVER go anywhere else!!! They are affordable and they get me in and out in a very reasonable amount of time. No waiting for 45 minutes or an hour at this place!! They are also very knowledgeable and professional. I came in asking for a neutral color and they showed me how I could get a bolder color with a beautiful design that matches everything. Can't say enough good things about this place! read more

I found Dry Nail Bar a little over 6 months ago. I was tired of boring nails & wanted to live out…read moremy best nail life! I looked through their IG pg & made my 1st appointment w/Liza. I've been a faithful customer ever since then. Liza is a talented artist to say the least! I show her what I have in mind & she exceeds it every time. It's nice to get what you ask for. The atmosphere is cozy & the artists are friendly & accommodating. I enjoy Dry Nail Bar & I know you will too ! I've included a few of my favorite 's

I am visiting from out of town, and stopped in this place for a dip manicure. While I appreciate…read morethat the nail tech tried to maintain the integrity of my nails with little drilling, my manicure is very messy. First, the service started with my hands soaking in pure acetone to break up my dip from a previous manicure. I understand that's needed, but I've never had to dip my fingers in acetone, usually it's just on a cotton pad wrapped in foil. This broke down my previous dip powder (a dark gray color), and left gray patches on my hand. The nail tech assured me she would remove it. When I told her I wanted square, she turned up her lip. I said you can round the edges if you prefer, because I know my nails are short and I'd like to maintain the length. She gave me square, and they are much shorter than I anticipated, but I understood my natural nails were short. The issue, however, is they are very uneven. Some are square, some are left wide, some are narrow, lengths don't match. Then, when all is said and done, she leaves the gray residue on my hands, there is red powder residue around my cuticles, and they overall look very messy. The chair was uncomfortable but they had nice drink options. I'm giving two stars and would likely not recommend, but for the nice drinks and maintaining the integrity of my nails. However, for $70 ($84 with tip) it's far too pricy for a bad manicure.

Today really stood out to me with my experience and their customer service and really taking their product/work seriously. I picked a bright pink (it was a brand new color) and it looked great but a little while after leaving the salon the color started to turn purple with markings (very odd). I called and told them what happened and sent photos and they said to come back and they would fix it. I arrived about 6:15 and waited, no problem they were busy. When it was my turn everyone was so kind and made sure I liked my new color, checked in and never rushed even though it was past closing and I'm sure everyone wanted to go home. They helped each other and it was a great vibe and teamwork. I am grateful for a place that stands by their product and wants to fix anything that may happen. Highly recommend this place!

I'm not sure if this was because it was a more sheer color and I only had two coats done, or if the bottle they used was straight up the wrong one. The manicure also chipped on day two which I was really bummed about. I would've gone back for a repair, but I was already out of town. Luckily because the color barely showed up on my nails it was hard to tell. I choose this spot because they have a healthcare worker discount which made it cheaper than other places, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Great second location for sassy!…read more If you have read my review on the original location, you know I love this nail bar. I do think they are one of the best places in Charlotte, if not the best. I called the original location at Morehead and they were busy. I just noticed while driving by that they had a location in the Dilworth area. Not far from the original. It's less known about, so the wait time is less. I called ahead and they were able to accommodate me right when I walked in. A technician was very kind and did a great job. The manager was also very kind and was keeping things well organized. I will be back at either location, but this was a nice change.
