I got a full set and a pedicure with Hannah today. She did super great and followed the picture I gave her for reference. She did an amazing job on it. They turned out super cute. Normally I get my nails done and they tend to be on the thicker and wider side so I love that I didn't even have to say anything because she made them skinny enough and thin but still sound. Definitely will be coming back! Thanks Hannah! read more

Very rushed- got a mani and pedi. The pedi was completed properly but while receiving the pedi- the manicurist started doing my nails while in the chair. I requested a thin tip what I received was an uneven mess. Then I was charged 89$ could have had a child done them and they might have looked similar. read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. Pedicure was a joke. Left and feet were still feeling dry. Nail polish wouldn't dry. Sat there for almost 30 mins and polish was still semi wet. Never never again. read more

I walked by this place and the first thing they tried to do was convince me to get a pedicure by insulting my feet. It had been a month or so and I figured why not, so I decided to give this place a chance anyway.... bad idea. Although they did a decent job of painting my nails, I did not really like the service. The lady I was with tried to keep adding additional services to my bill (which I really did not mind because she only tried a couple of times). However, she did inform me I was also in dire need of a pedicure and an eyebrow wax. (I had just gotten my eyebrows threaded two days before, so I'm sure she wasn't trying to do me a favor). The lady I had took her time and did everything well. However, their attitude and service made me feel uncomfortable. The entire time, she talked to her colleague in another language I could not understand. I am multilingual and completely understand if it is easier to communicate in one language over the other, but ignoring me the entire time? In summary I would say they do a decent job but their service could greatly be improved. read more

I came here for a pedicure and there were a number of issues but the main thing was that no one had their mask on while my nails were drying. If you're going to have a sign up saying you won't seat someone without a mask the least you can do is set an example. Other issues include using a totally different bottle of polish than what I picked and not using a top coat (like wtf) read more

Would not recommend this place at all. My nails were done horribly and the service is no good. They will cut you. They will also charge you a ridiculously high price for a horrible job. Do not go here unless you want to waste your money and have to get your nails redone. They are also rude to their clients and show no care. read more

This joint is an oasis in the middle of an urban desert, filled with surprises ranging from the awesome clean pedicure chairs, to the spectacular staff, and parallel to everything the amazing price. I thoroughly have enjoyed the visit. Tech - Kevin ask for him. read more

I enjoyed the experience! They are pricy for coming back after COVID-19. Me and wife will definitely come back.

I love everything about this place! It's hard to find a good nail shop that care! They take pride in their work and they show respect to their customers. They are patient and they listen. My daughter and I make this a bonding time and she loves them. Their under new management and you can tell. The husband and wife duo is cute! read more

Tip Top Nails - I will definitely come back! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I'm originally from STL, but I moved to GA 11 years ago. I came back to STL to visit my dad. I've been her for 2 weeks, so I decided to get my nails filled at the place that i went to before I moved. The service was excellent the nails weren't shaped like I like them, but they were close. The problem I had was the nails didn't last a week without coming up at the bad and one actually came off. When I went back to get them fixed they were closed (4 days later) and hasn't been open since. Now I am left to go to a different nail salon to get them fixed, which is costing me more money. I don't know why they are closed or if the or going to open back up. Howeve, I would not recommend anyone to go there, especially if your from out of tow. It is good to be nice but pointless to have poor customer service. read more

I've use this place more than a few times. They have never been the best but they are quite fast. They shut down for several months and upon returning went up on their prices significantly. Not only did they increase prices but they changed what basic services entailed. A full set and basic pedicure used to cost me between $55and $60. Now, this service is $75. My feet were not scraped. Cuticles not taken care of, I received no embellishments on my full set. Smh. Will not return. read more

There is one lady that works here who does a seriously amazing job, everyone else is just average (or below average) nail technicians. If you are going to go here, you want to get Linda. Linda is amazing at her job and does the best pedicures! I always walk away from a pedicure with such happy feet. She is great at scrubbing off that dead skin, massaging the feet and lower legs, and painting toes. The manicures are just average in my opinion. Overall, the service is pretty poor. The employees ignore you for the entire procedure, which I dont mind because I am not a fan of making small talk (unless it's with Linda!). They also are constantly talking with each other in their own language, which make some people uncomfortable... again, I didn't mind it. I really dislike is how they use a rude tone of voice when talking to you, and pressure you into getting other services or other nail polish colors. Not a fan of rudeness. Additionally, the place doesn't feel super sanitary. Linda demonstrates hygienic practices (i.e. sterilizing instruments, etc); but I feel like none of the other technicians are very sanitary. read more

NO NO NO. Do not go here. EVER. Under any circumstance. This place needs to be shut down. I stopped in here for a manicure & pedicure one day because I had time. It is not my usual place that I go to for this, but I figured I would try it. First off, I went on a Friday night and it wasn't terribly crowded but they had a good rush yet pleanty of staff to help. I was not greeted at all or even given a friendly smile. Just simply a "what you need?" When I took more than 30 seconds to decide my nail color, the lady got very snippy and said, "please sit" so I felt forced to choose a color I didn't really want. The pedicure itself was terrible. NO massage whatsoever and from my normal experience at other similar nail salons, they seemed to be skipping steps I usually am accustomed to. She finished in under 15 minutes for $25 dollar pedicure. Not acceptable. Onto the manicure which was equally horrendous. It probably took her 6 minutes and was not pleased. In all, I spent $45 and got a VERY low quality service. On top of these things, the lady kept pressuring me to add on other services like an eyebrow wax, which I just had done elsewhere, and she looked annoyed when I turned her down. She also tried to get small upcharges added on and when I refused she just shook her head. These are not qualities I look for in a good nail salon, so unless you want rude, pushy, low quality workers, spend your money elsewhere. read more

Stickin my neck out here to warn all y'all not to get your nails done here. The ladies are pretty nice, but stupid (sorry bout it). It is definitely unsanitary - the tools they were using on my feet for my pedi did not come out of a sterizlied washer - they were in some little pencil box that they threw around the shop from client to client. Gotta clean that s**t people after every customer! They did wear gloves, but that didn't do much more than keep their hands clean and safe, nevermind my tooties. Some girl walked in and wanted a quick mani. The nail lady heping her had started my friend and I in spa chairs for a pedi. The nail tech quickly did the other girl's mani and left her there to dry and came over to us. The other girl had not even paid before she was shooed out and told her nails were "dry and be careful not to touch anything"... they forgot to get her payment for her treatment. Then while my friend and I were getting our pedi, someone walked in and wanted their eyebrows done. They had to wait because there were two of us getting our feet done and only two techs. When the one tech broke away to do the girl's eyebrows, she didn't even take her into a back room! The chair she had been waiting in, the tech walked up to smathered the hot wax on her right there and just sloppily did her brows. Usually you have a bed and a curtain for the patient at the very least! The paint job is good, but I was paranoid I would wake up with fungus on my feet or an ingrown nail. Don't go here - even if you're in a pinch. read more

Amazing service, very polite! Hannah is amazing so definitelyyyyy ask for her! Trina & dip was amazing as well so you will be blessed by either of them if Hannah is too busy love love love this salon ! read more

Tools are unsanitary, staff is rude, prices are too much for the amount of time spent and quality. Salon looks like it hasn't been cleaned in some time also. read more

Ok, so...my prior post where I gave 4 stars has now been reduced to 1 and they've lost a 6yr client. I had never experienced this level of service here and was very disappointed. Now, while I realize that I was a walk in vs having an appt, each customer should still be treated with respect. My regular tech had an appt, so she had someone else, Two/To, work on me. Things started great, my pedi was wonderful. Then she told me that she couldn't do my mani and someone else would, but she didn't know who. I then sat there in the pedi chair waiting 30 min for no one to ever come. I got up, expressed my disappointment, paid for the pedi and left. I'll find somewhere else to go. read more

I've gone here twice and both times my nails have broken within days. I've never experienced this with any nail salon I've visited. Forty dollars wasted and they refuse to refund my money (I still have the receipt with the date and time so they know I'm not trying to scam them ) and they won't fix them for free. I'll never go there again. I specifically downloaded this app to write a review because I was so disappointed and I don't want anyone else wasting their money like I did. read more

As an artist I pay close attention to detail. I showed my nail tech Lisa a picture of exactly what I wanted. She barley looked at the photo and started my nails. The nails all differ in shape and size. I paid $40 for fake nails and a gel overlay. In my opinion it was too expensive. I've been to multiple local nail shops and the most I've paid for a fake nail and gel overlay was $30. I didn't have to wait to be seen. Although i do feel like there should better communication. My technician and I had trouble discussing prices. I wasnt upset because I work with a lot with travelers or people with thick accents. I most likely won't go back. read more

Tip Top Nails - The photo on the bottom is the shape and length I asked for. The other 2 pictures are the finished products. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I'm not a crazy person who just posts bad reviews on yelp everyday. In fact I've never even been so inclined to review any business or restaurant. This was the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon, which was extra disappointing since I don't treat myself often. My boyfriend and I went together and both wanted a regular pedi. The sign on the wall said they were $15. When we sat down the lady doing our feet asked which pedis we wanted and handed us a menu. The lowest price on it was $25. I thought "okay whatever, I guess their sign needs to be updated". I figured the $25 pedi was the most basic one and we could both get it. I tell her that's what we want, and she starts awkwardly looking at my feet, which was insulting enough, but then....THEN this horrible, sloppy women told me I'd "NEED" the $30 pedi because my feet looked so bad. She embarrassed me into getting the more expensive pedicure, and then she looked at my boyfriend and asked if he was going to "let me get away with only getting myself the more expensive pedi". He was just as astounded as I was and awkwardly said nothing, at which point she says "okay you want" and starts pouring some sort of solution into his foot tub that apparently you only get with the $30 pedi. When she took the illegal foot scraper out, she pointed out to my boyfriend how much dead skin had come off my feet and said "good thing she getting the better one heh!". The pedicures lasted no more the 10 minutes a piece, there was no massaging of the legs or feet (which is basically the whole reason most people pay for a pedicure in the first place), and my polish job was terrible. She only did one color coat and didn't even fill all the nails in with the color. The bill was $60 for all that and now a week later, the polish is obviously trashed but the part I'm worried about is that the skin on my feet is now peeling away. Literally. In between my toes and on the pads of my feet, it's all just flaking away and peeling off. I've never had this happen before and it's pretty evident it came from their dirty tools and tubs. Thankfully this was with my boyfriend and not some guy I was on a first date with. It would have been mortifying. NEVER EVER GO HERE! This place should be inspected and shut down. read more

Tip Top Nails - The peeling, and this is after I've exfoliated and put lotion them. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

No complaints. Walked in for a gel powder fill, not a lot of places carry it. They accommodated me and were very polite. Love the way my fill turned out, even though it's a little on the more expensive side. I would come back if I lived in the area. read more

my nails and toes were not great at all especially for the price i paid. they didn't know how to shape my hair after telling them so many times how i wanted them to the point i had to tell her to stop because she was messing up my nails and they are my real nails, my French mani started chipping 2 days later and my toes had lots of polish on them and i asked multiply times if she could get it off my skin and she wasn't able too, disappointed never would go there again read more

I went there for a gel mani and the girl did a terrible job. When I got home my thumbs were still tacky and starting to come off. Then she charged me an unbelievable $40 for a gel mani!$$! I went back after a few days to have them redo my mani since it was already coming off, but the girl would only redo my thumbs. The rest if the mani came off the next day or so. Complete waste of money. read more

This place is terrible, within 5 minutes of getting my nails done 3 were smudged. This was after I had to ask the woman to fix 4 of the nails because they looked awful. Sloppy service and they arbitrarily make up prices that do not coincide what is listed on the board. The last two times I was there, I was charged more than was listed on the board. The only reason I've gone there is for sheer convenience. read more

Run away! The staff is rude, their tools and methods are unsanitary, and without exaggerating, I can say that the quality of their work is the poorest I have ever received. I wanted a full set and my girlfriend wanted a simple manicure and clear gel finish. Instead of the typical white tips, I enjoy getting colored tips because I feel like they fit my personality a little better. This usually isn't a problem, but as I sat down I asked to see what color options they had, and I was told they only used white tips and that they didn't have any other colors. So, I politely said I wanted to try a different salon where they had colors. When my nail technician heard this, she said, "no, no wait..." and then pulled out several different colored tips to choose from. I was a little put off that she had, in my opinion, lied straight to my face, but honesty isn't necessarily a requirement to be able to do a decent nail job, so I picked out a pretty purple tip and presented my hands for her to begin. Sadly, the only thing she began to do was argue-insisting that white tips were more popular and that I should do those instead of the purple. I found it pretty silly to be arguing over fingernails, so I gave in and settled with the sociably acceptable white tips, fearing that she might have a nervous breakdown if I forced her to apply the colored tips. I watched in horror as she proceeded to use her sharp little cuticle cutters to attempt to pry my previous set of nails off instead of granting my request to let them soak off. She dug the tip of those suckers right into my nail beds, as I held my breath and hoped that her hand wouldn't slip and cause a disastrous slice-and-dice injury. Between the cuticle cutter prying and her getting a little drill-happy, I had to pull my hand away from her twice, and a third time because she nicked my skin badly enough to make me bleed. Each time I pulled my hand away she would call me a "princess" and say I was too sensitive. No, lady, you've attacked me with cuticle cutters, drilled my nail beds until they were paper thin, and then you cut me... My hands and my nerves can only withstand so much. Across the room, my girlfriend was receiving her very own personal torture from another nail technician. At least they all try to make sure you get the same service no matter which technician you end up sitting in front of. They told my girlfriend that her manicure would be $15, which seemed pretty fair to us. Apparently though, their gel is made out of diamond dust, because her $15 manicure turned into a $30 job. You can imagine our surprise when we found this out *after* her manicure was done. As I mentioned before, they must strive to provide the same quality of service for each person no matter the technician, because my girlfriend's technician cut her and made her bleed also! I always appreciate consistent service... My girlfriend and I finished at the same time and went to the sink together to wash our hands and were surprised to see that the little scrub brushes provided to clean up with were being used by over and over by everyone who visited the sink without being sanitized in between. Understandably, I passed on the opportunity to scrub my bleeding fingers with their "high mileage" brushes. My full set and my girlfriend's diamond dust gel manicure ran us right under $80 after we gave our technicians tips that they didn't deserve. Ridiculous. Even more ridiculous when 2 days later - literally only 2 days - 6 of my nails actually came off and my girlfriend's gel manicure was already beginning to peel. I called the salon to request a refund and the woman on the other end of the phone said, "I don't think so!" I requested that the manager call me but they must have "misplaced my number" because I never got a call, so I visited the salon in person and they still refused a refund- but they offered to redo my nails. Yeah right! I was lucky to survive my first visit without contracting some kind of disease or losing any of my fingers, and I wasn't about to test my good luck again. Run ladies! Run! read more

I'm thinking that most of us who go for a pedicure expect to unwind a bit during the outing. Well, if you are after that or a great pedi, you might want to try another place. Normally, I ask for Tina who is awesome. But my friend and I did a walk in and Tina was busy. Horrible experience here yesterday -- just horrible. The woman who did my pedi gave me the high pressure up-sell the entire time I was in the pedi chair -- and she wouldn't drop it when I politely declined a service. She wouldn't take "no" for an answer. (Strike number 1) Ex-haust-ing, actually. The pedi she gave me was and is terrible-- she paid very little attention to anything once I said no thank you to the manicure she was offering. It's like she couldn't get finished soon enough to move on to the next customer. Did I mention there was no one else waiting? Yep. But here's the worst: she was just a downright mean-spirited person... As witnessed by the screaming match she initiated with another tech Lisa while she was finishing up my pedi. This was all over where I had to sit while my nails dried. The place was empty except for one person getting a mani with Tina, and when that's the case, their standard habit is to allow you to remain next to the party you arrived with if you came with one other person. Not a big deal for me to move, but this lady just started harping at the other nail tech Lisa when she suggested that I stay where I was until both my friend and I were both finished and ready to move to the drying station. I tried to calm the woman down -- basically just so she would stop screaming-- but she was too far gone. She started it and wouldn't let it drop. She kept screaming at the other tech - it was like I didn't even exist. Such BAD customer service! I moved to the drying station quickly so she would stop but she wouldn't let it go. She kept going back to argue with the other tech. read more

Only gave the 2 stars because they were sooo nice. Not the best Paint job I've had. I think my chipped nails looked better! The selection of colors etc. was WACK! Glad I'm an LA girl now! read more

Unless you need a quick fix, avoid Tip Top Nails. I've used this business 6 or so times, and each time I have been disappointed. The stylists do your nails as quickly as they possibly can so they can move onto their next client; I wouldn't have a problem with this but your nails suffer from this. Half of the time my stylist misses spots on my nails so the edges don't get any polish. If you show them a picture as a reference to size and shape they will look at it for about one second and then almost completely disregard it. Some of the stylists don't seem to know what they're doing (i.e. I asked for long coffin shaped nails and was given short square ones). It's an overpriced business and customer service is terrible - they yell at you from across the room to move here or there or to ask why you're in the store. Avoid unless you need a quick touch up. read more

Never usually do a quick service spa such as this, and this is the reason why. Too fast, too busy talking on their phones, or to one another in any language except English, and too busy trying to rush to fit in another person after your turn. Something about other cultures, they don't provide the customer service you would expect. Talking on a phone while providing a service you are paying for is unacceptable to me. Screaming across the room to others while you are paying for this time is also a no no to me. This is exactly why i live by the slogan, you get what you pay for. I wanted a quick manicure, and that's exactly what i got. No thrills, no politeness, no attention, just clip, polished, and goodbye. Ifv that's your thing, then this is your place. read more

Asked for a color change on my toes and was treated with attitude and then I was over charged. Won't ever be back.

Great job on my fill and gel pedicure. Even though it was close to closing, they took their time and even accommodated every request I had (I'm VERY particular). Clean environment and very friendly staff. Way more than I could have expected for a nail salon in a mall. P.S. My foot and hand massages afterwards were heavenly. I will DEFINITELY be back!!! read more

I would never come back to tip top nails even as a last resort, I had come here 2 weeks prior and gotten a full set I came back to get a fill and a replacement because one of my nails had already popped off which doesn't usually happen with my nails. Another glaring issue I have with this salon is their terrible communication skills. You never know what's going on and what's up with their prices because they spend all their time talking among themselves or on their phones. After I spent almost an hour getting my mediocre fill, I asked for my nails cut down a little bit and he cut my nails down so low thy the entire shape was ruined and he refused to file down the one nail he had fixed the first couple times I asked because he said it would ruin the coffin shape, which had already been ruined after he filed the other ones down so low. So when I finally went to check out the fill that was advertised as $16 ended up costing my $35 because they charged me for reshaping my nails that they messed up! Long story short don't bother coming here unless you want subpar service and to be ripped off. read more

When they make you bleed and rush the entire time you know they don't want your business. I get me nails done every 2 weeks and have never been in this much pain or had my nails be so crooked before. The nail technician insulted the style and length I requested. I specifically made a google and yelp profile so I can warn people about this place. Never going back! read more

I have been getting my nails done here for years and I love it. Every once in a while i try a new place but then I always go back to Tip Top. Everyone there is great and sometimes I bring my daughter and they so nice to her and very patient. They always take their time with me and do a great job. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

WORST PLACE EVER! WAY overpriced! Charged me $50 just for gel polish on my fingernails and toenails; no mani or pedi just polish. Other places only charge me $30 for this service. Then the polish on my nails came off 4 days later. I will never go there again. read more

Seems like whenever you go in with a friend the service is horrible. But when I go in by myself the nails turn out perfect. Went in with a friends and her nails were chipped. Mine had glue underneath my nails. The person wouldn't listen to me after 3 times of continually complaining. After the fourth time I had them take them off and refund the money. read more

I read the other reviews and was a bit hesitant to go but because of its location on the mall I gave it a try, all I can say is GROSS .. The place is dirty , unsanitary tools, rude people working there . I went in for a gel manicure but quickly changed my mind and only got my gel off read more

You should absolutely listen to the reviews! This place is awful! I stopped in with my cousin to get gel mani's and one of my nails peeled off 2 days later! Not even a week after I got them done, 2 more had peeled off, multiple chips, and 4 more nails could peel right off. The customer service I received was terrible! My "nail technician" was very rude. She made one of my cuticles bleed. My cousin had chosen the same color as me and the lady practically refused to wait for them to finish and was trying to get me to choose a different color! If I'm paying $30 for this poor service, you should at least let me get the color I want without throwing a fit! Seriously, do NOT go here!!!!!!! read more

Extremely bad place! I went there to have ny nailpolish removed, have my nails filed and then colored. When i asked the man working there to better clean the edges of my nails with acetone he went furious and said it was part of a manicure. He was very rude and the other girls started gigling and talking in chinese. Plus the color choice sucks. Dont go there. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! They said that they did OPI gels and they did not even use OPI products for my manicure. I was insulted numerous times by the manicurist and another one spilled remover on me and did not even apologize. I wish that I would have read the reviews here first. RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND A CRAPPY MANICURE to boot! I wish that I could give ZERO stars!! read more
