I first went to Tip Top Nails in December to finally give my nails some love after neglecting them for some time. Mary took care of my pedi while Michelle did my nails. They were very caring and gentle. They also did a fabulous job with my mani and pedi. The gel mani/pedi lasted until I returned to get a new mani done since my nails were growing pretty fast and I needed a new set of gel mani. I'm waiting until February for a new pedi since I've only been wearing closed toed shoes this winter. Thanks for the TLC, Mary and Michelle! read more

I had a manicure done by Mary and she was fantastic. Truly! The prep work was really well done and the outcome was better than I expected! You never know what to expect with a new nail tech as everyone has different methods and styles, so I was happily surprised with how much I loved Mary's work. I will absolutely be coming back and requesting her! This is a very casual salon and for walk-ins it can be busy and you may have to wait a while. I suggest calling ahead and booking your appt. And I highly recommend Mary!! read more

Came here for a pedicure. There was initially a bit of confusion because I told them that I had made a reservation and told them my name -- which is the same name as one of the women who works there, so they thought I made a reservation with her...then we straightened out the confusion and they realized that I wanted to just get a pedicure with anyone. It was a bit strange because I was there with my partner, and we would have liked to sit side by side in the pedicure chairs, but they had us sitting a few chairs apart...It seemed like we could have sat next to each other, so we ended up talking to each other over the people who ended up sitting between us. They did try to push their more expensive service on us -- I just wanted a basic pedi + callous removal, but they very strongly suggested that I get their deluxe package. It was reasonably priced, so I capitulated. They were friendly, although it was a bit difficult for me to communicate with them. I think that they have a bunch of regulars who know the staff well. While they were very friendly and attentive, my partner did have an issue with them cutting his toenails a bit too short and it ended up growing in a bit in-grown after read more

Helen did my nails and they came out perfect. Super sweet and fast service. I will be coming back ! Thank you!!! read more

This is my second time, first time I went there to get a full set, she charged me 52$ plus tip, and the second time I went to get a refilled, she said it's will be from 35 to 40 dollars. , the do not tell you the price they just start working on your nails, and she knew I had French tip design on my nails from before, so after she started working on my nails , she is like for French tip is another $7 dollar. And look how ugly her French tip is ... the corners are no filled, the shapes are uneven, she did an ugly job of refill on my nails, I highly recommend somewhere else. If I am paying $43 dollars for a refill then I expect a damn good job! Not this ugly, I can do much better myself than her read more

Very nice find. Not too shabby not too fancy. Has six massage chairs and six table stations. They have a very neatly organized set of gel nail samples. Sometimes I go to nail shops and they have flipping sets of nail colors ... it's quite neatly organized where I'm not overwhelmed with the vast amount of rings to select from. It's seems pretty clean and simple. Not too rushed and busy like most places. No noisy radio or random channel on in the place - peacefully quiet. Gel manicure + regular pedicure = $42 $1 charge for using credit card Getting to this location In the corner of Artesia blvd and hawthorn blvd. In the same plaza as Cold Stone Creamery. There is PARKING in the back also!! Overall - I would come here again. read more

I want to leave a better review because the ladies were sweet but overall I won't be coming here again . They took me as a walk in without appointment which was nice. I got a pedicure $25 and gel manicure $35 for a total of $60 before tip. I tipped $8. And a $1 fee to use a card. $69 total Manicure did not include a massage. She just rubbed oils through briefly and that was it. Nails looked good though and she gave me what I asked for. Pedicure started with her putting my feet in completely cold water. Then she hurt me and I had to pull my foot away in pain . Instead of cutting the cuticle she was pulling it up my nail. Horrible ! Massage was below average. Overall nails came out nice. Like I said the ladies seemed nice. I've definitely been better places especially for that price and full service with minimum 5 min massages. read more

Honestly would like to give this place one star but the lady who did my pedicure and eyebrows is really sweet. The lady who did my fill however is rude grabbing and jerking my hand, tossed a pillow on top of me before putting the gel lamp on top... just a mess. She's rude and she definitely the bad Apple for the bunch. Head up! If you want to hear all the crap they talk about you and everyone else use voice detection to translate. Pitiful I will not bring my dollars to this business again. This is probably my 5th time here and every technician seems upset to be at work... it's not even noon and you are unpleasant. Very uncomfortable read more

Great experience, first time coming here and was treated so well! My nails came out exactly how I asked if not better! read more

I was disappointed in their service. They injured my natural nail so badly during the process of removing the acrylic nail.

Although there may be a small wait they will help you . Helen had done an amazing job. If something was not right I let her know and she fixed it with no complain! Def coming back next time . She makes sure you feel comfortable while the salon is still busy . She's amazing! 56$ this gel set. / eyebrow done . read more

I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the lady I had, I believe her name was Michelle, didn't know how to do hologram effect on a nail. She redid it on my one index finger about 6 times and when the other lady came and tried it it was still not coming out good. And the nails' shape got all messed up from the multiple times of her retrying it. I had to go back in after they were done with me and get those two nails redone because I wasn't pleased with them at all and now I'm going back again but to a different spot to get another nail fixed because it is cricked and I told Michelle to fix it once when she put the nail on originally since I didn't like that it was going off to the side, so yeah. I was lucky to get my money back from the design they took off but they didn't want to give it back to me at first. Definitely not coming back to this place. read more

Ask for Tom he is the best . He is reliable when you book a appointment with him. He has a great attention to detail.

Love my nails and my nail color by Helen and Heidy. They are a Gem. Keep up the good work. See you next time. And thanks again.

I recently came across this Nail salon and based off my first two experiences I would like to leave a 5 star review! My nail tech was Helen, the first time I went she did a beautiful set with sparkles and hand drawn snowflakes, she also added a nail with the "sweater design" and I loved it. That set last about 3 weeks :). Recently I just got a new set which I absolutely love! I love how Helen hand draws her designs and is friendly with her clients. She is very nice and makes my nail salon trips comforting and nice. She is lovely! Thank you again Helen for your great service! Much love read more

All I can say is let the pictures speak for themselves. Uneven nails, cuticles look horrible, save your money and go else where. read more

Although Tom did a good job on my nails, during the process he cut my cuticles and made them bleed. Once and twice I forgive, third times thats it. I had to add one more bad review to this nail salon. And Helen, besides her attitude that she gave me because I said wrong name of "almond shape" when she did my nails, she did horrible wax job on my upper lip. She didn't even bother once to check if my upper lip was clean and yup, I got home and checked, looked nothing had been done. Should I go back to that nail salon and have business again with them? read more

Tom was great did a beautiful job on my nails in under an hour! I love how my nails came out!!

When I come to Tip Top nails, I highly recommend you get a pedicure. It's a great experience and very reasonable. This is a nice clean and quiet nail shop.

Just really rushed here. For $36 dollars french manicure it's not worth it...which is too bad...they work hard here but they're sloppy.

Phenomenal service. I highly recommend this place they do the best job with every service they offer. Walk ins are welcome but would recommend an appointment if you're impatient as she is a busy bee. The place is ran by Kathy & her husband Danny. Both very sweet and caring owners. Kathy & Danny truly are the dynamic duo read more

Original visit date 3/11/15 This place was very dim and grimey looking. I decided to give this place a try. The ladies who worked on me Michelle (manicurist), and Diane (pedicurist) were very nice to me, but I didn't like when they spoke in their language to each other in front of me then looked at me and smiled. I didn't take much offense, but let's face it, that's rude to do that, and it's unprofessional. So let me just sum it up: PROS: Fast neat work. Friendly attitudes. Great price! $20 for a Mani & Pedi. CONS: Dim lighting. Not really clean. Uses the same nail file on others (ask for a new one)...even thought you shouldn't have to ask that's common sense for hygienic reasons. Not a big polish selection. Gnats flying around. The front door says PULL when you are about to exit, but you actually have to PUSH. If they clean this place up, organize it better and refrain from the use of talking in another language (if not necessary) the experience will be a 5 star experience. read more

This was my third time coming to this nail shop, because Helen do good nails! Well I was wrong! She a sweet lady but today she did a cheap job on my nails...it's definitely not what I wanted and she had the nerves to charge me 49 dollars?!! Seriously... I got a gel polish change=18 Pedi= 15 Then she going to charged the glitter I wanted on top an extra 15 for both feet and hands. She said the glitter added was considered a design, which is something I never heard before! Oh yea 1 dollar added for debit fee! Well there goes your tip! The money don't matter but the quality do! The work she done is not worth 50 dollars.. The service was horrible Tom is a a**!! They kept on skipping taking everyone else that can in!! This is not the nail shop for me! It's a hole in the wall anyways.... read more

Tip Top nails is a little hole-in-the-wall nail salon. I stumbled upon it when I was in the area and in a rush to get my nails done for graduation. I don't get my nails done often but I had a great experience! My nails were done by Helen. I got a gel manicure and she sat with me and decided which color was the best for the occasion. Very patient and helpful! It's not the fanciest nail salon but all I care about is how my nails look after! Helen is so sweet, I'd recommend her! read more

My favorite place... my gel last for up to a month and they are very talented!! They even do massage and waxing, check them out!

A hidden gem! I've tried several local nail salons and they all seem over priced and my gel manicures don't last long. I stumbled upon this shop after another salon gave me a 30 minute wait time. I'm so happy I found it. Clean, quiet and efficient! The salon was extremely clean with comfortable pedicure chairs. While I got my pedicure done, someone worked on my gel manicure to cut down my time having to be in the salon. I was thankful for that but still very relaxed while being pampered. The salon was quiet. I went on a Wednesday (my preferred day for nails) in attempts of avoiding a crowd or a wait. I walked in and received service right away. No wait and the technicians took their time. I've had my gel manicure for just over a week now. No chipping or cracking! My toes (regular polish) are staying beautiful as well. The prices were good too. Some places charge rediculous amounts for mani and pedis. The prices here were just right. Good prices, good service, beautiful nails!!! I'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely love going to Tip Top Nails! They are an expert at what they do! I have to get my nails done and always come here to do so for every occasions! Everyone is very friendly and it is a nice environment! I feel good and can't go to any other nail salon solely because I've been coming here for the service. Diane does my nails and she always knows what I like! Talk about customer service! I'm usually very sensitive to gel but they know how to work around that! Definitely recommend! read more

I found this place after my awful experience yesterday at Vina's. I came in all the staff and even the customers were very nice and welcoming. Everyone spoke when I walked by them. I didn't get my techs name but I will be going back she did great work. Her shop was clean she did a great job on my nails she knew her job very well and even finished my feet from where I left the other nail shop. I will be going back Thank you Tiptop Nails for an awesome experience last night. read more

They take you in, so far never extremely busy great service and pedicure for men. A bit pricey but definitely worth the service.

Tom is great! So meticulous, and so professional! If you use a credit card, be prepared for a 50 cent charge. Otherwise come with cash. For a gel mani + regular pedi, it cost $35+tip. Great deal, great team -- this might just become my new go-to! read more

I made an appointment for the next day at 9am, acrylics and a pedicure. I got there 9:05 and there was no one who does acrylics. So they started with my pedicure which I had to wait 10 minutes for. I liked my pedicure and the girl was friendly. They sat me at the station to start acrylics but the girl who does them wasn't there yet. I waited another 15 min. She asked me how I wanted them I said squared and narrow because I don't like when they're stubby and wide. Half way in she says it's gonna be $28 for the acrylics bc of The shape I always pay no more than $20....my acrylics & pedicure came up to $43. My manicure has bubbles all over it Don't bother making an appointment they'll consider you a walk in The place is not very clean, the stations had dust and acrylic powder all over them Their selection of colors is ok read more
