    My toes

    This is my 1st time I went there and I tell you - I will be back!! The workers are very personable, friendly and definitely my cup of tea. I liked the woman who did my nails. I will try them again.

    I try to always get my nails done at tip top! I love how they take care of me. I try to always make an appointment and I like to have cash ready, they do take card and cash app. My preferred shape is square, and I think they do great shaping. I am always satisfied with my designs, and on top of everything , I feel like you will have a good experience with any of the nail techs working on you! I've had almost everyone that works there service me and I am very happy every time. I tend to get a pedicure with all of my sets. I am personally happy with the prices. these are some of my favorites.

    My absolute favorite place to get my nails done! I always get so many wonderful complements on them!! Tien is my absolute favorite and everyone who works at Tip Top Nails is absolutely darling

    Too thick polish and top coat not even... you can tell.

    I would avoid this place at all costs. Reg mani $20 even though their recent pricing says $10 and all they do is file and buff your nails... I let the woman know that the nail polish was too thick, and she tried to tell me it's because I didn't do gel... alarming since regular nail polish has been around for decades. Also, not sure if there's a sanitation procedure taken place. I still tipped 20% because I didn't want to be "that" customer but really... The nail tech's colleague also tried to argue with me? Unprofessional.

    I was never rude to anyone,seems like they don't like you if you don't wanna pay extra for something that you don't want.

    Sooooo I'm just now seeing angry fan note that was left by who im assuming is one of the owners or workers idk! It was years ago but I feel like being petty today ,,,First off how do I expect anything for free when I literally paid for what I asked for?!! And like I said most places don't charge like that for gel polish but whatever,their price is their price I just wasn't paying extra for some bs that wasn't gonna last anyways. Reading the more recent reviews seems like this place is still a hit or miss and is trash! P.S. stop tearing up ppls cuticles like how I've been seeing,seems like some of you need to go to some nail tech classes.

    Everyone is so friendly and is of a certain quality of work that I don't see often. My dip nails weren't drying. And they were patiently redoing it until it was right. They also squeezed me in for a normal pedicure between their other clients. Andy was very sweet & explained the options for me. Laki was helpful and fun to talk to. Definitely a good experience. Highly recommend this place! I will be back!

    I've been here a couple times with variable experiences. This time they let me in despite not having an appointment. I waited about an hour. I had Miss Lacky. She first told me I should've just gotten acrylic if I didn't want my nails that long. Of course this was after I got the extensions. Many times the drill got too hot and hurt me. Additionally, she filed so vigorously on the sides that it hurt and did not stop even when I said "Ow!" It seems she made the shape too round, to the point where it doesn't even completely cover my actual nail. This left awkward segments where it looked like I had badly fit press on nails (see photos). Some of the nails are a little lopsided and I had to ask her to cover streaky nail polish. It's two days later now and my cuticles still hurt. Additionally, I guess she is the owner or manager? She was busy answering the phone and texting and letting people in the whole time, so manicure was frequently interrupted. I paid $55+$10 tip. I love the design, but my hands hurt.

    I just moved to Philly from the DMV area and really needed to get my nails in order (to make some good impressions at my new job). The first time I came, I made an appointment for 11 but when I showed up the lady at the front desk seemed confused. About 15 minutes later i was seated at a manicure station and left alone for about 20 mins with the solution on my hands to remove my old gel nails. I just wanted a new polish, not a full manicure. The girl who attended to me seemed to take her time (in a good way) and did a great job. $15 which seemed like a steal to me; I was used to those D.C. prices. I didn't have any cash in hand...don't be like me, this place doesn't accept cards on sundays...random (there is an ATM in there). 2 weeks later I decided to come back on a weekday for a gel manicure and polish on my toes. Didn't bother to make an appointment this time. I thought i saw online that the place opens at 9:30...i could have misread but the place opens at 10. The lady I had this time did a complete rush job, especially on my feet, polish patchy in some places. The manicure left a lot to be desired, they didn't even moisturize my fingers after but everything came up to $45 which again isn't bad at all. Overall, this place is ok. Will get the job done for a decent price but no frills or anything. Some of the staff are quite friendly while some are just indifferent to you. Not much ambience, it's pretty much a hole In the wall but there is a pretty decent polish colour selection. I like when I can see the autoclave for the instruments (which I did here) and the plastic liners for the little pedicure tubs (which I didn't see here). I may or may not return, I'm going to look around for other places.

    I really really wanted to like this place. Honestly, I felt like a douche for wanting to complain because the customer service is so good. I've been getting my nails done for 15 years and I've never experienced such pain in my cuticles. I got a full set, with gel polish... $25 + $15. (Stating the price because I was under the impression of a completely different price.) I asked him to cut my cuticles. I've had places do this for FREE since I'm already paying for a service, and he said okay it's normally $10 but I'll charge you $5 since we aren't doing a manicure. I'm like okay I'm not going to dispute his business, I will just pay the $5. You guys, I have NEVER been in so much pain. He was cutting my FRESH skin. There is a difference between dead cuticles and fresh skin. I kept flinching and he apologized saying it's just that I have a lot of cuticles. WRONG. it should not ever hurt to cut dead skin. It's dead. Deceased. So now I have 4 fingers bleeding and burning! Hours later by the way. He does GREAT nails but if you care about the health of your nails and skin, I would not come here. I am afraid I will get an infection after this appointment. When I move my fingers, it hurts!!! That is not okay. I am upset with myself for not requesting a discount. I hate to give nail techs a hard time because I see how sometimes customers are A-holes, so I didn't want them to think I just wanted a free service. But I will just take my lesson the hard way and never spend money in this business establishment.

    Made an appointment the day before and was greeted and welcomed at the door. The girls there are so friendly. I asked for a light pink/purple short coffin shape for a wedding. Kim did an amazing job I can't wait to go back again... feels good to find a good one! She shaped them so perfectly and they are the perfect length and thickness. Seriously did an awesome job. They charged 50 bucks for this full set with gel. I think that's fair for this work.

    Visited today for a full acrylic set. Asked for short coffin style nails and showed a picture for design and my technician went above my expectations! Had to put down a 20 dollar deposit and after my service i owed 50 dollars- which i think is reasonable for a full gel set with design. All the technicians were very friendly and felt super welcomed! Will definitely be returning once I come back to the city

    Terrible. Literally my worse experience here and I e been visiting for 2+ years now

    Update: This salon continues to amaze me. I received a pedicure recently which sealed the deal. I…read morenever need to find a new nail place! Use the home made soap, you won't regret it! I recently moved to northern libs from center city. The first few months I traveled into center city to get my nails done but yesterday I decided I was over it. I read a million reviews about a ton of places in walking distance and on a lark gave this salon a try (the fact that one of the comments said they had a cat sealed the deal). I honestly could not be happier!!! Everyone has had a bad manicure so I went in skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and I know my old salon is amazing but the ability to walk and not fight traffic was clutch. Anyway this place is phenomenal. They take their time, they are so nice, Lemon (the cat) is absolutely precious. My nails look stunning!! I've received so many compliments today!! I got the powder dip and seriously my nails are flawless. I could not be happier and I'm thrilled to have a new salon to become a regular

    I have had gel manicures and regular pedis a few times here. The last time I went the owner was…read moregiving me a massage while the tech was painting my nails. First, he seemed to be giving a more aggressive massage than usual making it difficult for tech to paint my nails. Then he was massaging my lower back and actually "massaged" my bottom. He has never done this before. It was gross. I tried to move and he moved his hand up. Also, the tech I had -I don't know her name- she is the youngest one -again did a gel manicure that chipped within 2 days. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I know it is her. She also rushes as though there is another customer waiting when there isn't. I was hoping for a different tech that did a better job on another visit but no such luck. The positive is they use plastic liners for foot tub and give you a cold water bottle.

    I have been putting this off for a while, but I'm sad to say that I won't be going back to Allure…read more I have always been a walk in because I never know if I'll feel well on a given day and have the energy to get my nails done. I probably should have made an appointment for my last few visits, because I somehow always get Coco and she's just not good. She did a dip mani on me a few weeks ago - my first - that was so lumpy and thick that the cuticle edges kept catching on my hair and clothes. When I finally went back to have it removed and get a regular gel manicure instead, she rushed through my pedicure (no spa, just regular). While she was using the callus file she was looking around the salon and not at my heels, which she was sanding down to nothing. Barely any massage. The gel manicure was also rushed. She was using a worn file to shred the thick layers of dip powder - which she'd applied a few weeks ago - until my nail plates felt sore. You can see how the polish was applied. No cleaning up of the skin around my nails and a gap between the polish and cuticle. I didn't love the color (it definitely looked different on the swatch nail) but I just wanted to leave at that point. I walked out feeling like I wasted $40 plus tip. And now my nails are SO THIN. I'm sad because I really like Alice, Lily, June, and the gentleman who does the massages. I've been going here forever. I just can't keep wasting money on bad manicures. I also miss when they'd use a fresh file and buffer on each client, but now they're obviously reusing the ones they have into the ground.
