Their prices are reasonable and the service is 10/10. It is a small mom and pop nail salon but overall I love my nails. They take their time and be kind to them. They'll like you more and won't rush through your set. It's always the same women there too. They do beautiful nail art I've seen on other people. But I like it simple with a nice shape. If you call them they will be honest and tell you they're backed up. Definitely take consideration of their time. My gel refills are $35 and I always tip them well. read more

If I could give this place no I would, bad service. Made me wait an hour and a half to tell me she can't take Me there's someone in front of me. I told her I would go to the car & be back she said she would finish in 30 minutes how ever I came back in 15* and she switched up the story. Smh I got a pedicure last week, my first time checking out the place & my nail polish came off. I was ready to get another pedicure even though they did a horrible job. Idc about the $ customer service or any service for that matter should be #1. I won't be returning. Good luck. read more

Tips For Nails - You judge for yourself. - Nail Salons Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I can only comment on the acrylic nails experience because that's what I've had done here. First of all, I would like to say that the service isn't spectacular, however that's not important to me. When I'm getting my nails done I'm more concerned about the finished product. I come back time and again because the quality of the actual nails is wonderful. One thing to know is there are no appointments here. It's first come first serve, so on weekends and busy days prepare to wait a while. Personally I think the wait is worth it. I get full gel acrylic set and it's very cheap- only $40! The technicians all do wonderful work, especially Olivia and her husband. All in all, if you're looking for a place to get an acrylic set, I highly recommend this place. The wait is often long, and the staff is a bit abrupt, but the pricing and final result are 100% worth it. read more

This is honestly the only nail salon I want to visit, I've been coming for years and it's always a great job. You have to be patient because they work on a first come first serve basis so you'll usually end up waiting a while but after going to a majority of the salons in the area Linda and her girls are the only ones who get it right. 5 stars all the way read more

Tips For Nails - The photo is terrible quality but my daughter and I are always so happy with our nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Nails were done great ...make sure to look at how they file/apply the acrylic. The prices are very good. They have approximately 1-2 hrs wait so be prepared. They are a bit under staffed; this place needs a little bit more work. Overall, it was an average experience and the technician,Kelly, was very friend and her work was nice! Get in there early to avoid the wait! read more

Olivia and Lidia are wonderful! However I would avoid Phil and Linda. They seem to race through and Phil has cut me every single time I've gone to him. I usually go to Olivia but she had quite the line the other day so I went to Phil looking to get a design and he said no. My nails came out fine but several of my cuticles were bleeding and he always leaves a build up of polish under the nails which I later file off at home. I'd recommend just waiting for Olivia or Lidia read more

I'd prefer not to give this place a star at all. While I found one nail tech in this place to do my nails right (and I tip her to keep her doing good), the service and atmosphere in this place is piss POOR! The owner LINDA is terrible. She argues with her customers, chooses her favorites to cut people who have been waiting to get services for hours, speaks about customers to other customers while they are there, tells people she doesn't want to service them and the list goes on for this mad woman. When you let her know about being cut she yells and throws a fit! Disgusting behavior as a business owner! I don't let this lady even touch my hands because she's so horrible. When you walk in there is NO SIGN IN SHEET, no organization on who is next just whoever they pick or if you speak up and let them know you were there first (and they don't like that) - you have to consult with other customers to confirm the order on who's next. There are long waits to the point people walk in and she suggests they come back tomorrow. lol in which the wait will be just as long! The prices are cheap so they have high volume. And for the volume they are understaffed. Anyone giving this salon any stars above 2 are seriously fake/bot or being asked to give a good review. Approach this salon with caution! You might get cursed out from Linda, turned away from Linda if the wait is too long, if you arrive 1 hour before close Linda will complain that you came too late even though there's a full 60 minutes to do what you need done, Linda will rush through your nails and when you tell her about it she will catch a tantrum, and Linda will also ask her black customers to pay first for their service before the nails dry while she doesn't do that for other customers. While this may be a long review, anyone who has given this place a low rating or even high can be real with themselves that they have seen the owner LINDA do such things, maybe not to them but to someone else. If you can afford to pay for better service, save yourself the bad day. Getting your nails done is supposed something peaceful and something you do for yourself, not 2 hours of being annoyed or bothered by the behavior of the owner and staff that works there. If you can't afford going elsewhere just literally go in expecting that you'll have to sit around for an hour to get serviced and possibly verbally abused. read more

Looks a bit questionable from from the exterior and I was worried about the less then stellar reviews. This place was recommended specifically for extensions. I'm a horrific nail bitter and wasn't sure they'd be able to make anything stick to my stubs. They do both acrylic ($35) and gel ($55) which included a gel polish as well. No frills in terms of amenities (drinks/massage) but quality work and a great price. I'll be back for fills! read more

I used to come here when they used to be at the old location. I stopped coming to this location due to the amount of wait and they do not take appointments anymore. Due to my other nail technician at another location leaving for out of state, I thought I would give tips for nails another try. Unfortunately, my experience was terrible as I had to pull back my hand few times due to pain from the nail technician being way too rough and rushing through the buffing process. (There was no other customers when I went). It literally felt like my nail bed was burning. To make it worse, due to the rushing, the technician nicked my cuticles with the buffer and when I flinched, he apologized with an awkward laugh. When it was time for the polish, it took about 3 tries for me to pick a color as the 2 previous colors I chose was out of stock. read more

Awful, awful, awful. Super unprofessional - got my acrylics done, and she rushed. So they were extremely chunky, but whatever, you get what you pay for I guess. What's absolutely not acceptable is the fungal infection they gave me under my nail after I took the acrylics off. Absolutely do not recommend, so unsanitary!!!! read more

I always love getting my nails done here cause they provide good quality at great prices. I tend to ask for a double coat of the nail hardner When I get a gel manicures so they last longer. Gel manicure is usually$20 and pedicure is $20 too! Can't beat the price but the parking lot is tiny and it gets busy on the weekends so it's better to come on the weekdays. They have long hours and are open 7 days a week until 7pm! read more

This place is amazing. I'm mad I'm just finding it. Kelly was wonderful. She took her time it was very meticulous about each and every mail. She made sure to ask me if I liked it throughout the manager and she was perfect I wouldn't change anything about my experience. They have a ton of great colors the salon is clean bathroom area small parking lot but it's still a private lot. Business Card says they open at 10 AM but they opened at 8:30 on a Sunday! Call to double check the times amazing salon. read more

If I can give this place 0 stars I would. I got gel tips here several times. Whenever Phil does my nail, I'm bound to lose 1 or 2 within a week! They charged me $50 for first fill and $30 for filling in. But when I come back barely a week later they insist on charging me to fix it when clearly it's his poor quality, rushed work because it just peeled off, not like I was doing something rough and it broke. This is the 3rd time This happens when he does my nails. When I talked to the lady in charge her response was "if you not happy, I don't know what to do for you." Their quality of work and their customer service and their attitude sucks! Not to mention how dirty this place actually is! Don't go here if you have asthma or trouble breathing. They don't believe in dusting and cleaning their surfaces from all the nail dust! read more

This salon was recommended to me by a friend. I went in for a pedicure with Olivia (pedi w/ acrylic on my big toes). This salon doesn't book appointments in advance so you can walk in BUT be prepared for a wait time of 20-40 mins depending on what the person is doing prior to you entering the salon. Olivia was very nice and took her time as she did my pedicure. As for right now it's a 5-Star experience minus the wait time but you have to be patient and understanding . I'll update about how long the polish last, etc. read more

I love this salon because it has the lowest prices & they work the quickest but do a good job on shape/design. Yes sometimes there is long waits but i dont mind waiting because at other salons they take forever to do my nails so it would be the same difference. I ususally get OLIVIA to do my nails. I do like kelly and phills nails too tho :). I saw other reviews saying Linda was bad but she runs a good business & its her salon. Ive never had a problem with Linda so dont let bad reviews about her impact thinking about going to this salon.. the best time to go is 2 or 3 usually for myself on like a thursday or wednesday ive found but it always depends. read more

If I could rate this place any less I most def would. They are unprofessional in every utmost sense of the word, not to mention the prejudice that openly takes place here. I have tried my best to give them the benefit of the doubt, but as a black women if I am paying for a service, I should not have to decider between being respected as a customer and a mediocre manicure. Bottom line, if you can tolerate the unprofessionalism and prejudice of this environment, they wont respect you or your money and will dictate what they are in the mood to do. read more

I am new to the area and have been looking for a new nail place. I see there are some bad reviews on here but my manicure was one of the best I have ever had. I went in to get some gels taken off and get a basic mani. I had Kelly and she really took her time on my nails. My cuticles are always in bad shape and no one has ever taken that much time to clean them up so well...also she never hurt me in the process at all which was impressive. She took time to trim the sides of my nails which no one has ever done and I always wanted. The process took a while but so worth it. The painting itself didnt take long at all though and was perfectly done. It looks like I have gels. I also like that its walk in as I hate rearranging my day around nail appointments. Perfect place for me I will def be returning :) Thanks Kelly for the awesome manicure! read more

Save your money!! Worst mani and pedi experience ever! Where do I start ? Ok, I waited 5 mins for someone to let me know if they can help me or not! I went there at least 45 mins before closing ( which I thought should be enough for a plain Jane mani and pedi) The pedi experience was alright. Nothing good or bad to say. However, I will say that few of my toe nails weren't straight. They were cut with a 45 degree angle, not sure why !! But hey I'm reasonable, it happens and I can live with it. The mani : biggest joke and disaster! My nails were apparently " too hard to file" whatever that meant! So they were filed with the big rough "feet" filer. They were cut so short and with such weird angles that there was no coming back. The technician asked me what I thought , I said they are a little short but I can overlook that but they aren't straight. So her fellow technician asked her what's wrong .. My technician's response was " her nails are too hard to file" so I told her don't do my nails if they are too hard to file. I got up and left, paid for the pedi. My advice to you ( once again) save your money. read more

This is not a fancy place which is fine by me..kelly did my gel manicure and she is very sweet and detail oriented and takes her time i will definitely be coming back and requesting her! My total for gel matte manicure and regular pedicure was $38!

i literally go here because its close to rutgers and its super cheap but im starting to realize that you pay for what you get. the nail polish is HORRIBLE quality. even gel starts chipping within ONE day and especially the thumbs ALWAYS chip. The color choices were horrible. the staff is RUDE always talks about you in Chinese and they refuse to do anything you ask for. They were removing my gel nail polish on my hands and started on my feet and left the foils on. because they left the foils on so long my nails are extremely brittle from the acetone and are breaking. also, they always try to paint one finger at a time and make you put your hand under the UV light for EACH finger. UV light is BAD for you and it tans your hands. i asked them not to do that and the guy started yelling at me and refused to listen, he kept doing whatever HE wanted to do. summary: RUDE staff, HORRIBLE color choice, HORRIBLE quality nail polish, BAD quality. you get what you pay for. read more

Let me first start by saying that I don't normally write reviews but I am someone who reads them. In order to help others and "pay it forward" I felt is only right to write this one. Initially I went to this salon with hopes of experiencing the new "nexgen nails." I called prior to my arrival to confirm if the salon did offer that service and the price. I was told one price over the phone, and that in fact the "nexgen" powder would not be used but something similar. Due to the price I was given over the phone I didn't mind but I guess the jokes on me because you get what you pay for. I made sure I researched which nail tech to go to as well, to ensure I had the best tech for the job. According to Yelp reviewers, Ashley was the best, "literally" at the salon. When I got to the salon, I asked for Ashley and she proceeded to ask me what color I wanted and discuss price. I was told a totally different price over the phone than what Ashley told me but no biggie. The problems started when Ashley was putting on my tips and I asked for them to be cut shorter. After the application of the powder which was done very poorly I asked Ashley to shorten my nails. She must not have liked my request because she began to handle and file my nails very aggressively as if she was upset that I wanted my nails shorter. After she was all done and had to fix the bumps in my nails and the horrible filing job she put some speed dry polish on my nails and rushed me out. I say all this to say that know what you're paying for. No one is perfect and every salon has their own standards but in trying to save a few dollars I gave up quality and service which in the end was a waste of my time and money so please don't waste your time and money here. If anyone knows of a good salon that does the nexgen nails please let me know :) read more

So as I was on mad hunt for a new nail spot and I came across this place. I want really impressed with the work I saw on here, but I decided to give them a try anyway. I always say, the hole in the wall spots have the best food, the best drinks and apparently the best nail salons. I get my nails and eyebrows done here, I don't care for the pedicure work. The prices are out of this world and everyone there is really friendly. The only drawback is they do NOT take appointments. Get in there before 3:30 on a Thursday or Friday or you will wait. I try to go at the start of the week to avoid trying to sneak out of work in order to get there early. They are open to any ideas you have, great color selection, and they have design skills. read more

the place was small and parking was extremely limited. the wait wasn't long though after i walked in. i asked for acrylic full set, however it came out pretty bad. the nails were really large and bulky and on top of that they aren't shaped properly and are lopsided. i asked for an almond shape, but it came out more like a lopsided oval (see photo!!) disappointing for my first experience. read more

The wait was crazy, I waited over an hour to finally get a manicurist to start my acrylic fill process ($15) and nail repair ($3 per nail, did not charge extra for shaping). I was informed by another customer who comes frequently there are usually more than 4 people doing nails, at least 6. Eventually as time went on, only 2 was doing acrylics, the others were doing mani or pedi. In general I'm happy with my nail. My girl did things I would've asked her to do if she didn't do it, she also applied too coact for my regular nail polish which no other place has done for me. But I think I have an issue with picking the right nail polish color because I wanted a really dark forrest green which it was in the bottle but, it looks gray on my nails. Overall, my person was great, she was nice, she accidentally cut herself while trying to shave my acrylic down and I felt so bad but she quickly handled it and continued doing my nails. I almost forget, they have the best nail polish selection I have seen by far. Reason being is every polish can be regular nail polish which I love because for me, gel is unnecessary, my nails grow out way too fast. read more

If I could give this place -5 stars I would. The only reason this place is in business is because they're good at their craft. But the customer service is terrible and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't last much longer. Can't even say it's racism because I've seen them be rude to all types of people- so at least they're consistent. Stop giving places like this your business read more

Tip For Nails was an overall very positive experience for me, because I am picky about my nails and only do natural nails. I already got my toes done last week, so I was just in need of a gel manicure & had a simple design from Pinterest in mind. Ashley did my manicure and she did a great job! She really took her time filing my nails & cleaning up my cuticles. That is one the most important parts in my opinion & my cuticles were a wreck before coming in. I showed her the design I wanted (half moon) and she said she hasn't done it before but she would try. The first thing she tried didn't work out (using stickers to hold the place of the open half moon) but she quickly fixed it and made my nails look gorgeous. I have honestly never been happier with a manicure in my life. There's usually one thing I can nitpick about. Nope, today Ashley did the perfect manicure. I'm attaching several photos of her work. She finished the job with a quick hand massage with lotion. Just FYI: Tip For Nails does not take appointments, and is therefore "first come, first served." My wait time was 45 mins for a gel manicure, and the manicure itself took about 45 mins to complete. So total I was there for 1.5 hours. I would suggest not to come if you're in a rush, like on lunch break or before another appointment. You get $1.00 off if you pay with cash. I paid $24 for my gel mani with design, and gave Ashley a $5 tip. While I was there I found out that: It's $18 for regular pedicures, $10 for regular manicures, $20 for gel manicures, and $5 extra for designs. read more

If you're on a budget, have 2.5 hours of your life to waste waiting, and don't care how you're spoken to or treated then this is the place for you. The owner is EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional along with her staff. They do not stand by their work and are unhygienic using the same pumice stone for different clients & do not use bleach between clients, nor do they use a liner. Nail polish is either very clumpy or watered down from so much use. Really not worth the time or aggravation with so many great places around. read more

This place fucking sucks, I've been coming here for 3 years and it was good but over time it's just getting worse and worse.

I know there is a lot of "you get what you pay for" but I was expecting a better job than the one I got. I decided to get chrome nails for the first time (also my first time at tips) and I will say I was surprised by the selection of chrome colors (there were 9). I went with the basic silver chrome color, and i was informed that to make the color really pop, there is a black base underneath. In addition, it would have to be gel to keep the color lasting longer, which is what i would've gotten regardless. It has now been about 5 hours since I've gotten my nails done and I'm not sure if it wasn't sealed properly or anything but the black is showing at the tips of the nails as if they were scratched. While i was at the salon i already pointed out that the black was showing at the edges and the lady said it was because my nails are "too small" but I've had friends who had less space and everything was evenly coated. In terms of my scratched edges, i haven't really done anything since I've gotten home so I'm not sure what the problem is. read more

I went there for a spa pedicure and the service was awful. They made me sit and filled up the tub with water and I sat with my feet in the water for almost 20 minutes before someone came and started the pedicure. Even though you pay double the price compared to a regular pedicure, all the lady did was scrub, apply some cream and do up the nails. It was least bit relaxing. Would not want to give even half a star for this place. Avoid going here if you can. read more
