I started going here over 12 years ago and have been going to my nail tech Amy ever since. The vibes were great at first then started to go down hill for a bit. My nail tech left to go to a different salon and I tired to stick it out at the salon but the newer people were so rude and yelling like fighting with each other over the shape I wanted my nails. Needless to say I followed Amy wherever she went. She has now made her way back to Tip Top nails! I'm glad to say that the vibes are very peaceful, less chaotic , and they do a great job. read more

Do not waste your money. Very unprofessional. She answered not one but two phone calls while she was doing my nails. My nails do not look the same. They are misshapen, charged me 50 dollars for a fill and 2 broken nails. While I understand the broken nails are my fault, but if I'm paying $50 for a fill my nails should at least look the same. I'm legitimately going to wait until they're outgrown enough so I can get a brand new set at my regular salon. Why I deviated from the place that always does them correctly is beyond me. Also got a lip wax from her as well and she burnt my lip very bad. read more

Tip Top Nails - This is how bad she burned my lip with hot wax. Be aware and so not go to this salon. I'm in pain and can't put nothing on my face. - Nail Salons Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

I went in yesterday ( Friday before Christmas) to get My nails done for the holidays! The guy that was my nail tech basically forced me to do this powder thing that I was very hesitant about! I kept telling him while doing it that I hated it and her kept reassuring me the final product would be nice! I'll just leave the photo for you to be the judge! And yes I did pay for this travesty! read more

Tip Top Nails - Awful - Nail Salons Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

Too bad I couldn't give no stars. The first girl told me my toes looked fine and I didnt need a polish change. The second girl or boy (in not sure of the gender and dont want to assume) decided to go eat and I had to wait for the 3rd girl who was sick making disgusting cough/clearing nose/ phlegm filled noises decided to cut my nails down and repolish and told me the color I picked was the same one she gave me which one was white and one was brown. The other 2 rude people retreated to the back to eat for 10 minutes..25 minutes later asked my daughter if she still wanted her fill. She declined. I will never go there again and will tell everyone of how terrible it is now! read more

I found my new nail salon all thanks to word of mouth. My friend told me about this place and I wanted to try it out so I did. Me and my friend were brand new to this place and we loved it. The place is very small but worth it. They also offer pedicure services as well and 3D nail designs. All the prices were very low for great quality. A fill was only 15.00 and it comes with amazing work! They fixed both my friend and I nails, our nails were shaped wrong and they fixed it. The outcome of the nails were beyond beautiful. The lady who did my friends nails was hilarious and very kind, the lady I had wasn't friendly at all but she did a great job. The last place I was at doesn't compare to this place. This is my new nail place! Thanks guys. If you want your nails beautiful and for a cheap price come here. read more

I have been coming here for close to a year now and I am so happy I found my nail salon. The staff here are very friendly and always greet you when you first walk in the door. I have had almost everyone there do my nails and each one of them do a wonderful job sculpting my nails. One other plus for me is that they are very personable and always remember me. The price for a fill is super reasonable at 25 dollars. I would highly recommend calling to make an appointment on certain days and times- usually after work hours they are packed! Great nail salon! read more

I walked in, not a single person said hello. Told me to pick a color, I picked the color the women made a comment that I shouldn't do it and should do gel which I said no thank you. She didn't speak a word after that (to me) continuously yanked my arm. I told her the shape i wanted my nails and that I didn't want them short. She proceeded to make them short and not match one hand to the other, I also told her that I wanted them straight on the sides and not wide. Needless to say, the polish job is horrible, and I now have nails that look like duck beaks and I hate them! I figured I'd try them for the first time and what a mistake I made ! I could've done a better job read more

This place used to be beautiful and friendly , unfortunately the building has decayed as has the staff. You're directed to sit and wait and then told that people have to leave for lunch when no other clients are in the building. The staff themselves told my mother and I that the colors we we're picking out, the product was too old to use but still on the shelf. Utter waste of time, four of my nails are missing paint due to needing a fill, and I decided to wait and go elsewhere because I don't even trust this place to paint them well. read more

Ever since Amy stopped being the one in charge this salon has gone down hill fast. The new woman are very rude and cannot paint nails the save their lives. I got my nails done last Friday, gel manicure, even though I didn't ask for a gel manicure and a couple days later all of the nail Polish had lifted and peeled. SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO ELSE WHERE !!! read more

I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done again! I am very particular about how my nails done and the way they come out. These ladies take their time to make sure their work looks great. They are super nice too!! I would definitely recommend Tip Top Nails!!! read more

There are many nail salons in RI, from the many pretty nails to Angel Nails. I've been going to Tip Top nails for over a year now and I can say that their prices and service are the best. The people are very polite. Like many women who frequent asian salons I sometimes feel like it am being talked about but that never happens here! I always feel Welcome. They are very quick and I've never had to wait for a manicure or pedicure. read more

It's pretty cheap compared to everywhere else in the area. Living in north providence it convenient and ask for tony! He's the one and only person I need to do my nails. Love how he is so friendly and asks if I like it and if there is anything wrong. Deff recommend read more

Just waited 3 and half hours with my cousin to get my nails done, they know her mom and her so she went first to get her nails done. They continued to take everyone else in the entire building but me. Don't come to this place total and utter nightmare what a waste of my breath on this planet. Brought me one step closer to never getting my nails done again read more

As a girl on a budget I'm always looking for a good deal. I called a few other salons and tip top was the cheapest. For a full set of acrylics it is 25$. I chose a coffin shape which costed an extra 3$. All together I got a beautiful set of acrylics for 28$. The service was average but the product was well priced and exactly what I wanted. The environment was small and cozy. I would recommend this salon to anyone in the area. read more

I used to love this place the guy who used to work there did a great job!! Ever since a new guy started my nails are peeling within a day or two! I've given a few chances to see if it would get better but I will not be going back anymore!! I always tip 10$ on top of the service and expect my nails to last at least two weeks like they used to. Never again read more

Great prices, nice staff. Usually just swing in to get the girlfriend a gift certificate. Joined her and got my feet done. Super relaxing & the staff are very interactive. I'll be back!!! read more

Great place to get your nails done. Ask for Tony he does a great job and is very personable...some of the other nail tech can be quiet during your entire manicure. Also it's best to make an appointment especially if your getting your nails done on the weekend. read more

Went here once and got a full set. Within days 3 nails came off! I went back to get them replaced. Within 2 days the same nails came off! So I had those 3 nails replaced by another place, they stayed on perfectly. Day by day all the other nails kept falling off! Worse nails ever! read more

A co worker recommended me here. They did such a good job and I only paid $40 for a full set of acrylics + gel polish. Better than most places. Staff was super sweet. This is my new nail place! read more

Always come here for my birthday nails! They are super friendly and always do a great job! My nails last long & don't chop or crack. They are very quick to fix your nails if they do chip! The place is very clean & cozy. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a spa day. read more

Definitely a hidden gem, and don't be deceived by its lackluster appearance! Phenomenal place to get pink and white acrylic nails done!!! Usually salons just pack on the acrylic and then rely on the grinder/buffer to shape the nail - resulting in uneven nails and also 3 hours of your life wasted inhaling chemical fumes. Henry (or so he said) actually applied and shaped the acrylic beautifully with the brush alone. He was such a perfectionist that he even noticed when it was uneven, despite his expertise, and he went back to apply more acrylic and smooth it out. I'm uploading a picture so that others can see the beautiful final result. I was honestly out of there within an hour. That's basically Guinness book of world records worthy, in my opinion, since all past experiences with a full set have taken several hours. Price was the same as most places - $45. I tipped really well though since I was so impressed. This will be my go to nail salon for pink and white" read more

I have been going to this nail salon for seven years since I moved into the area. Originally, they were amazing! Impeccable work, polite employees, and great customer service. After a change of ownership, the customer service started going downhill. The employees, except for the one original woman, are rude and don't have any respect for appointments or people's' time. They do not use provided phone numbers to contact customers when associates call out. Upon arrival for an appointment, they tell you they simply cannot help you because an associate called out and they took too many walk-ins. read more

Love love love this place! Fast & friendly, although they are sometimes very busy so I would call ahead. Called an hour before closing once for a fill & full set and they told me to head over in 20 mins and they'd take care of my friend and I. We were there half an hour after closing time but the staff didn't seem annoyed or upset at all. Hai was very upbeat and funny, and did gorgeous coffin nails for my friend. I got a fill on my almond nails and the lady I had was also very friendly and reshaped my nails beautifully. Highly recommend stopping here the next time your nails need some TLC! read more

First off let me start of by saying that I am super picky when it comes to getting a fill but this place does an AMAZING job. Amy is quick but precise and leaves my nails with the perfect thickness. They have a big nail polish selection between regular polish and gel. They're super friendly and always listen to what you say. I would always call to make an appointment because they're always so busy! read more

Best Asian nail salon I have ever been to in the 20+ yrs I have been getting my nails done professionally. Why? 1. They care. Each nail tech works with a similar standard of Excellency. You will not leave with anything less than perfect nails. 2. You will feel respected. The nail techs actually talk with their customers and do not ignore them and carry on conversations with each other in Vietnamese. They build relationships with their customers and really care. 3. Great selection of polish, all of the time. 4. They work as a team. One tech who isn't busy might take off your polish or get your pedicure soak ready to help out while you wait. The core group is family and have been working together for awhile. Turnover is rare. I've been coming consistently since they opened about 5 yrs ago. I have tried other salons while traveling or on another side of the state for one reason or another. None of them compare and thus, I always return. They are a step above the rest, Keep up the great work! read more

I just moved to the area and was looking for a new nail salon to go to. The reviews were ok for this place and it was only 5 mins away from my house so I thought I'd give it a try. No one really greets you when you walk in and I ended up waiting 15 mins to get serviced. I asked for a gel mani and a pedi and they started me off with a mani, which is a first for me, and that wasn't a pleasant experience. The guy who did my nails didn't even give me a manicure, he simply scraped the old gel off my nails and then shaped them. He didn't bother to cut my cuticles, it just seemed like he was rushing because the salon was closing. I love getting my nails done and look forward to it and I was very unimpressed at Tip Top Nail. A lady did my toes and she while she did cut my cuticles and do a better job than the guy who did my nails, this was not the relaxing experience I was hoping for. I do not recommend coming here. read more

This was my first time going and I would probably go back. It wasn't too busy when I went in; I got a seat right away. After that it started to get busy. The girl who did my nails was very nice and she did a good job. The prices are about average and I got a little hand massage after my manicure. I will definitely be back! read more

2 days ago I paid for a full set, gel polish and a design. The rhinestones on my design fell off and I came to fix it. They did not want to fix it to my liking and they were speaking Vietnamese the entire time. Today I left here with no design and regular polish. I'm highly upset. I do not appreciate poor customer service. Never going back again read more

Went in last night around 5pm last minute and had a 30 minutes since they only had a few ladies working but still fit my daughter and me in for mani and pedi. Good service and very friendly. Nails came out great and my daughter loved the designed they did for her. Would call ahead next time but would certainly return anytime I'm in the area! read more

Honestly I am probably the most pickiest person when it comes to nail salons. I never write reviews because I am too busy and I never give all five stars but this place deserves it. I had a fashion show a few months back in Oki's Steakhouse right above the salon and I had nail polish on and that is a big no-no for shows and I had forgotten to pack nail polish remover in my modeling bag. I went to the saline below to see if they could take it off. They sat me down immediately got it off and they were so so genuine and interactive, and they didn't charge me. I always remembered that and I was looking for a new salon to go with my friend and one night this nail salon popped in my head. We drove there and it was almost closing time. They sat us down right away and they were super friendly (even though they probably wanted to go home), they complemented me and they were just s incredible. The nails were unbelievably flawless and I will never g to a different salon as along as I am living locally. It felt like I was getting my nails done by people I have known for my whole life. Such an amazing experience. read more

I've been a loyal customer for about 4 years now, I also refer all of my friends and family. I was always happy with the service as well as the great prices. However, I've noticed that ever since this place has gone under new management and gained new nail techs, it's going down the drain. The service is terrible, quality just isn't there anymore, and the wait time is ridiculous due to the lack in staffing, even when I have an appointment. I decided to give them one more try today. I chose my color and was handed the bottle of my choice and sat in the waiting chair. After about 35 minutes I finally put the nail polish bottle down only to notice that I was half opened and there was nail polish all over my hand. I got up to wash my hands and was asked if I had an appointment and that the wait would be another 30 minutes. With that being said, I'm on my way to the nail salon down the street and never coming back. read more

Just left this salon with my best friend and witnessed completely unprofessional service. First of all we walked in and it took my friend a half hour to get a seat and get her nails started because the two women were focused on fixing my nails, which was humiliating for me because they were talking down about my nails, in front of other customers and it embarrassed me. My friend finally got her nails started by Miley and requested the almond shape. It was so crooked that my friend spoke up about it and the lady responded "take the file and do it yourself," and handed her the nail file and walked away. To top this off , she received a phone call from her father (my friend) and my friend said "we've been here for two hours sorry I am late dad," and Miley intruded on her private conversation and said "it's not our fault you've been here for two hours , you're difficult & high maitanence" I would not recommend this place to anyone we couldn't wait to leave. The customer service is appalling, I heard these horrendous comments, and was extremely surprised and finally Miley looked over at me at that moment and said "okay girls, finally you can leave lady!" What the hell. read more

After being a customer for over 3 years I noticed a $3 price increase upon paying. I was told that is a new charge for "nail cut down". I asked the owner why isn't there a sign notifying customers of a price change and she did not have an answer. She later pointed out their price chart that says nail cut down $3, however that is for nail cut down only. Customers should not have to pay additional $3 on top of the charges for the services they are getting. Nail cut down has always been included in my nail fill service and obviously needs to be done because nails grow...hence going to pay for a fill! This is just another way to make an additional $3 PER CUSTOMER and absolutely ridiculous! No matter what salon I've ever used filing, cutting or trimming down the grown out nail has never been an additional charge. Even my mother who only had a manicure was charged $3 extra to slightly file her nails. They are going to lose customers or tip money if they keep adding additional charges. read more
