I saw Chau for a gel acrylic manicure and she was great. She gave me exactly the manicure I wanted from a pic I showed her. She knew what she was doing and was very professional and gentle with my hands. I also spoke with Fred the owner and some other techs as well and everyone there was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come again to get my nails done!

Ombre Set with Miss Chau
Celina E.

I just want to highly recommend Miss Chau if you would like to get an Ombre Set. I got my first set with her and it came out super amazing! Besides she's so friendly and she takes her time in doing her work. Again, I highly recommend Miss Chau.

Gel mani by Fred (#169 color)

This place is a prime example of what great customer service should be like. I usually get my nails done in North Carolina but decided to come to Top Nails since I was home visiting my parents in Maryland. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Fred's friendly smile that radiated around him. I came in without an appointment and was sat down immediately. Fred was very detailed with the cuticle cleanup yet remained gentle. He asked me multiple times if the length was good enough. When customers walked in while he was working on my nails, I thought as others do, that he would hurry through my nails. I was surprised at how he continued to take his time and still make friendly conversation. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because some of the gel on two fingers doesn't come to the base of my nail. However, it is a great gel mani with amazing customer service that made up for a small mistake. Pro tip, call in advanced to ask to be put down or to ask for how long the wait is. This is a popular place. TLDR: attentive customer service, great gel mani, call in advanced even for a walk in.

Keyword "thorough nail grooming" = nail technician CHINH
Jiyeon P.

Listen.. err OPEN YOUR EYES BIGGER. If you want a thorough- I mean super thorough manicure and pedicure grooming, you need to ask for nail technician CHINH. I'm not about that quick swish-swoosh-pat-pat-byeeee life. Chinh really does some detailed work. Filing, scrubbing, deep pressure massaging, digging to the depths of the earth then bringing you back a diamond in the rough. Yup, it happens every time :) HELLUR I found my go-to and will share the knowledge if I'm confident it's worth my time and money *thumbs up*

Set your appointment with Kevin today!! he's amazing and tell him Uyen sent you!
Catherine T.

Updating my review! As some of you may know, Uncle Kevin was doing my nails but has passed away ): Sending my condolences to my uncle - he has taught Chau the technique to do Pink and White Ombré for me and let me tell you she NEVER disappoints. i've been going here for so long and everyone is so sweet. you won't be disappointed.

Iam very picky when it comes to my nails. The place has to be clean and a frienly staff, well i love this place! Chihn does my nails and hes Amazing! Hes very detailed and a perfectionist. I highly recommend this place.

I absolutely love Top Nails! I would recommend anyone in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area to check them out. Tommy is always my go to and he does amazing work. Tommy always takes his time and is really passionate about nails. He will even walk you through the whole nail process (if you like him to). Just ask him. He is quick as well. Gets you in and out. I also get pedicures done here and they always do a great job no matter who is doing mine. As always, I went today and was super pleased. They keep me poppin!

Worst then when I came in
Khayla B.

This was the worst experience of my life. I went in for an acrylic full set and my nail tech was very rude and dismissive. He made my cuticles bleed as well as made the side of my nails burn from the file/heat; it was poor execution. After that I realized that I did not like the color and asked for it to be changed. When that happened, they automatically charge me for a $10 fee and I refuse to pay it. They would not just let me change it even though we only take five minutes. I'm very disappointed and will never be coming back here ever again the service was terrible and I do not recommend to a friend or even an enemy. I repeat this was the worst experience of my life. Update: one of my nails came off after a day.

the girl who did my nails was amazing.  i didn't get her name but i know she's at station 5.  gel and jewels.
Meagan W.

really nice experience went early saturday morning right after opening i don't remember the girls name but it was calm and peaceful tv on and conversation with whoever was there she even gave me a hand massage after it was done station 5 is all i remember, but nice lady overall good place, i always come back

Horrible polish job- my daughter could have done better
Fern S.

I normally don't like to write bad reviews unless it's really, really bad, but I felt the need to write this based on the salon's lack of interest in fulfilling a customer's needs and more about making a couple extra bucks. I walked in for the first time based on reviews for a gel mani. I explained to the technician that I was trying to grow my natural nails out after having acrylics for many many years. I let her know that although my nails were thin and ridged from the acrylics, that the gel polish seemed to help with growth - I had gotten a gel mani at another salon prior to here and could see growth so wanted to continue. She suggested that during the mani she also use a product called SNS. She said my nails would get stronger with this product and take the rigidness away. I asked her if this would require her to use the electrical buffer since I know that this too thins your nails out and she said no. I reluctantly agreed based on her recommendation. She ended up using the electric buffer anyway after applying the SNS dip powder - there went whatever little layer of nail I had been trying to grow out. She never did a mani, just dipped the nails in SNS and buffed them out. The end result looked horrible. My nails look thick, the polish is messy and my nails although appear to look thicker from product, still look rigged and bumpy through the polish. I haven't taken it off because it caused me $45 unfortunately. Although the tech was nice, her focus was obviously on making an extra dollar rather than listening to her customer's needs. I now need to soak this SNS product off or have it buffed off which will set my whole nail growing process back. As a professional tech, I'm sure she knew this when suggesting this product, but just didn't care since it's more expensive than what I went in there for - a gel mani. Several times during the process, she also recommended eyebrows and pedi. Typical for salons in this area, but further supports my claim. Not the best sales approach for new customers or any customer that matter. Anyhoo, I won't be going back. My nails look like a 10 year old's and she knew it. So disappointed!

I don't usually write reviews but I am extremely happy with the services I received today! I usually get a full set every once in a while and I take them off after two weeks because I don't like how they look. My friend recommended this place so today I went in for a full set by tommy and he did an amazing job! He listened to what I wanted. I liked how he had different nail shapes at his station to pick from. Tommy gave me exactly what I wanted. He would ask me if the shape was okay, the length..etc. He let me know that he wanted me to be happy with my nails and I am! He took his time, he is very skillful and overall, I loved how my nails turned out! I have been recommending him to all my friends! He's amazing! I also got a pedicure and it was nice! Very relaxing and she did a great job! I will be a regular now! Thank you tommy! *i posted a picture of my nails

I walked in to get my mani/pedi yesterday with no appointment and told it would be a 15 to 30…read moreminute wait, it was very busy. I agreed, sat down and picked my colors. DiDi enthusiastically and happily greeted me, apologized for my wait and I followed her back. She is new to the salon and I have to tell you I had an excellent experience with Didi at cloud nine! I didn't feel rushed, she graciously asked how I was and gave a great leg massage too btw. It's hard to find these days, going to get a mani or pedi with a cheerful and attentive tech And not being rushed. Made my day! Thank you Didi! Worth the wait!

Terrible customer service and very disappointing experience…read more I called ahead and made an appointment for a fresh acrylic set with a simple design. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely frustrating from the beginning. The nail technician removed my old acrylic nails by force instead of using a soaking method, which caused a layer of my natural nail to be lifted. After filing them, my natural nails were left very thin and fragile. He then glued on the tips and started shaping them. I calmly pointed out that one of the nails was not straight and asked if he could fix it. He made an adjustment, but when I politely asked a second time because it still wasn't straight, he suddenly got up, said, "Someone else do her nails," and walked away--leaving the work he had started completely unfinished. I had made an appointment and expected the service to be completed by the technician who started it. Instead, I was left sitting there waiting for someone else to take over. The front desk then told me I could either wait another 30 minutes for someone to become available or have the tips removed and go somewhere else. This is completely unacceptable customer service. I was polite and respectful throughout the entire interaction, and I don't believe I deserved to be treated this way simply because I asked for my nails to be corrected. I left extremely disappointed, especially after having my natural nails damaged during the removal process and then being left with an unfinished set. I hope management addresses this type of behavior so other customers don't have to experience what I experienced. I would not recommend this salon based on my experience.

I definitely recommend Joyce!!

I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding a recent experience with your salon…read more On Saturday, July 25, 2026, I contacted your establishment to schedule a dip and pedicure appointment. During that call, I was informed that my preferred referred technician, Mrs. Lisa, was fully booked. Consequently, I explicitly requested to be scheduled for the next available appointment slot on the following Saturday, which was August 1, 2026. I was under the clear impression that an appointment was successfully made for that date. Today, Saturday, August 1, 2026, anticipating my scheduled service, I attempted to confirm my appointment by calling the salon multiple times throughout the morning. To my surprise and frustration, I eventually received a call back from a male staff member. He abruptly informed me that no appointment was on file under my name. When I tried to explain the booking I had made the previous week, he became dismissive and offered no assistance in investigating the apparent discrepancy. He simply reiterated that Mrs. Lisa was booked and that the salon would be unable to accommodate me. This interaction was incredibly unhelpful and frankly, quite rude. The staff member made no effort to understand what might have gone wrong with the booking system or to offer any form of resolution or alternative. The lack of accountability and the dismissive attitude displayed were entirely unprofessional. This experience has resulted in significant inconvenience and wasted my time, leaving me without the services I had planned. It reflects poorly on your salon's customer service and appointment management. As a result, I will no longer be patronizing your establishment. For anyone seeking a reliable and pleasant nail salon experience where appointments are honored and customer service is a priority, I wholeheartedly recommend "Cute Tips" in Gaithersburg. Their professionalism and attentiveness are commendable.
