I don't think they are honest with pricing. Not sure if you ask for one thing and they charge you for something different but always in their favor ; i find this to be the issue and it's happened multiple times . I should have questioned it but sometimes it's difficult to understand them. I do repeat multiple times what i want but i guess that doesn't matter to them. Well they have now lost my business. They do rush a lot and not give you the attention as a customer sitting in front of them. read more

I've tried so many times to give this place a chance! Yesterday was the last straw. Just do yourself a favor and find another more respectable, clean nail salon. read more

worst nails I have ever had. very empty place, ripped half of my eyebrow off with wax, when I told the woman I didn't want acrylic she still tried to do it and told me I couldn't do power, did my nails like shit because I got upset and told her not to do what she wanted on my naisl, overall very bad vibe in here. read more

10/10 as a first time customer I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff. A man by the name of John gave me a full set of tips, and an amazing pedicure. The spa is clean, and very up to date with COVID policies. They take your temperature at the door, and make you sign a COVID waiver which I was delighted to do. I will be returning time after time again because of the great experience I had there, great work! read more

Top Nails - Full set of tips - Nail Salons Near Me - Manahawkin, New Jersey

I went to top nails this morning. they did a terrible job. my nails were all bumpy, they cut my finger and then continued to do my nails and touch my open wound with their bare hand. and then put the same tools with my blood on them in the draw where they will use them on the next person. they will try to make u get something you don't want bc they want money. or tell you your eyebrows are gross so u have to pay to get them fixed. they are rude not polite and disgusting. read more

Top Nails - here is only one cut. didn't clean it for me and didn't throw out the products my blood got on. - Nail Salons Near Me - Manahawkin, New Jersey

Most ridiculous experience of my life. I have been coming here for all my life for them to be absolutely horrible business owners. I went in with a broken bail asking them to add a tip to it so it was even with the rest of them. She added it on and then put acrylic on my nail?? When I was just getting a gel manicure? I asked her to take of the acrylic so I can leave since they were being so argumentative. She "take off" the acrylic and charges me $18 for a fucking manicure!!!! All she did was cut my cuticles and soak my nails. I'm stupid and pay the $18 (which I am disputing with my bank) to get in the car to realize the acrylic isn't even taken all the way off. Idk what these people have done to their business but they took off running down hill read more

OMGOSH!!! This was definitely the worst nail salon I have ever walked into! I don't want to write a book about all the negative things about this place, but I will touch on the main complaints I have. First of all... The lady that did my nails, spent a lot of the time yelling in Vietnamese, or whatever to her husband, or the Man there, while she was trying to file my gel nails to try to get them even! I had to point out that they were all different lengths and shapes, and she said I know, I know, I do, I do! When she was finished, my nails are SO short they're almost down to my nubs, honestly. When she was filing the old gel nail down, she hurt me several times to the point that I yelled out. I don't know what her deal was but I don't believe she's that experienced and if she is she was very off her game yesterday. Also, This was not the cleanest place at all and the nail brush that she used to clean off her nail drills, and all the excessive debris from my nails was so worn down and cheap looking that there was hardly any bristles! It was disgusting! I just wanted to get out of there and I would advise anyone that is thinking of getting their nails done...DO NOT go there. The only reason I went there and not my regular place was because I had to attend a function in Manahawkin. I had a broken nail and my nails did need a fill, so I said why not! ‍ BIG MISTAKE!!! This nail salon is behind McDonald's in the strip mall that looks like the zombies from The Walking Dead had already been. Almost all the other stores were empty. NEVER AGAIN! read more

My favorite place to go to get my nails done!! It was super clean and very organized! They always take their time and it is very relaxing!! Jenny did my nails this time and they came out beautiful!!! read more

The girl was really nice, that's where the pros end. I wanted a black gel manicure with a pink breast cancer ribbon (but it wasn't that serious so I told her if she couldn't it's fine). She used this super thinned out black on my nails and in places it's still see through, then painted them while shaking and constantly taking off polish. Most of my nails are missing polish on the sides. The filing was ok. The ribbon she tried was awful so she took it off. All in all it's an ok manicure if I did it myself. She also waxed my eyebrows, they look exactly the same. I started to notice one of my fingers was a little bit sore and when I finally checked it out a chunk was missing. Thankfully not bleeding and not too red but sheesh. I won't be back. Go to bayside nails in Waretown WAY better, same price. read more

I came here yesterday for a full set and a pedicure. The man who did my nails was friendly, but the woman who did my pedicure asked me how old I was , and was shocked to hear I was only 19 and pregnant. I AM NOT PREGNANT. She apologized by laughing and saying "Big belly... sorry" Very upset with my experience with the rude staff read more

If there was a way to give a review with 0 stars that's what this place would be getting. Not only did this place make my nails so short that they barely qualify as having tips they painted them and filed them completely unevenly. I had to go back to get one nail that was so badly done repainted with the owner standing over the tech telling him what a "bad job" he did. Pathetic. Literally go anywhere else to get your nails done. You could do a better job yourself. Two days later half of my right thumb nail just fell off. I added a picture to show just how awful a job this place did. I am never going to give Top Nails my business again. read more

See all

Arrived right after they opened for a pedicure. I was immediately seated and the girl did a wonderful job. She did ask if I wanted a gel manicure and I said no and I felt she was trying to sell it to me saying my nails would get stronger which I disagree. Otherwise a pleasant experience. read more

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Service was very good and prices were fair. My friends and i were visiting the area for the weekend and wanted to get pedis and they were able to fit us in together and kept our appointments even though walk-ins just ahead of us wanted pedis. The pedicure stations are a bit outdated and polish selection is somewhat odd brands and scattered. Otherwise very comfortable and lots of seats to sit and wait if necessary. I am used to pedi bath liners for sanitary purposes and this place doesn't use them so that and cleanliness is the only reason I don't rate this place higher. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop in because one of my friends suggested it and said their gel Manicures last a while. Well, the pic on the right is what I showed the woman doing my nails, and on the left is what I got and paid 33 dollars for. Needless to say I will not be returning. They're rude and maybe even color blind because that's MAROON and my nails are poop brown read more

Came in for a pedicure today with my mom. I didn't make an appointment and we were both able to be seated right away. The staff was very friendly and the prices are very good it was only $25 for a regular pedicure. The ladies took their time painting the nails and the massage was great! I will definitely be back again! read more

I use to go here years ago before I moved out of state. Now that I live in the area again, I have decided to go back. Every other time had been a bit or miss with this place in the past. BUT NOW, they have new technicians (a lot seem to come and go), are very interactive with their customers and very friendly. I had a full manicure done and they paid attention to every little detail, it was a wonderful experience! I look forward to going back! read more

Top Nails - Perfect manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Manahawkin, New Jersey

I have been getting my nails done here on and off for the last 3 years or so. It has not been the greatest place I've been to in the past, however I went yesterday afternoon to get a manicure and pedicure with my sister. There was no wait and still the lady was in such a rush she didn't even clip my toe nails. I was thinking maybe the manicure will be better. She again did not clip my nails, and when I made comments about a little shorter or that the nails were uneven or had bumps, she would barely fix them. My sister had a friendlier lady helping her, but once again the outcome was horrible. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I just relocated here so i had to reluctantly find a new nail salon. I tried this place once, wasn't very happy but had to get my nails done again so I decided to try them again out of convenience because the salon I wanted to try was closed. I'm someone who never complains about getting nails done...in fact, I'm someone who doesn't complain much at all but damn, do I regret trying them again. The only reason I gave two stars is because they're very friendly and have decent prices but I rather pay more for a job done right. They're really sloppy looking but I didn't have time to ask them to redo it. read more

I scheduled a nail appointment at a specific time and another lady walks in without an appointment and she was helped first. Meanwhile, I had an appointment before she walked in. Customer service is okay, definitely not the best. However Jaclyn and John are amazing! read more

I usually like how they wax my eyebrows, but this time the woman waxed it way too thin.. I even told the woman to leave it thick and she took off about half of my left eyebrow. I don't think I'll be returning.. read more

I will rate it a 4 just because I had to wait longer to get my daughter's nails fixed. We had our nails dipped for the first time and my daughter wanted the white marble. The lady that began them didn't know what she was doing. This process takes a while just doing it right from the beginning and it took a whole lot longer for it to be fixed. Jenny did a great job fixing it. read more

went in and got full set acrylic.. got my nails done and they looked horrible the shape the paint and a nail came off TWO days later . went back and talked to a lady who said they could get redone so I came back the next day to do that and they asked new color or same color . I said new cause I already hated it , they didn't get redone all she did was file it a little and put a new nail on that looked even worse then it did before . Then when I tried to leave she said 15$ and they all started coming at me and we got into an argument because they still looked like shit & were so far from my cuticle but said that's how it's supposed to be like no . Long story short I don't think any of the people there went to school for nails . Cheri nails in forked river where they took them off and did it correctly were amazing read more

I'm so tired of making an appointment here for a specific time (first appointment of the day), get there before my appointment time and I have to wait. Why take appointments if they don't mean anything? read more

My gel manicure is awesome! Lanna took her time and finished my nails to perfection. I waited a half hour longer than promised but the owner was extremely apologetic. The pedicure included hot stones, a wonderful addition and no upgrade charge for this. I have been here a few times before and service is consistant. read more

Awful. I went in here on one of my precious trips to the shore and wasted over an hour on a poor pedicure. My son't wedding was in 2 weeks and I wanted to keep up on my pedicures so that for the day of the event, my feet were looking good. They sat me at a station and let me soak for about 20 minutes. That was ok. Then the woman that came over started my ped but left for "just one minute" to do a waxing. Fifteen minutes later, she's back. I was visibly annoyed so the owner apologized for the wait but then she left again! Also she cut my nails too short. I guess I should have been more specific. Never again! I'll go to LBI and give the businesses there my money. Have never been disappointed there. The very worst part here was the inordinate amount of wasted time spent because they were dealing with too many people at once. read more

I gave two stars because a couple of the nail techs are actually good. I went to this salon last week for a manicure and had my nails done by the man who works there (the owner, I think?). First, he was in a rush because he had an appointment he had to get to. He was extremely careless and aggressive, drilled my nails down so much it was hurting, and made several of my cuticles bleed using the drill. Never once acknowledged my bleeding cuticles. In addition, he was extremely rude to customers walking in the door. He got a little more than halfway done with my nails and then left. I had to wait more than 10 minutes for someone else to finish them. I left, in tears, with my nails looking like crap (see picture attached) and my cuticles swollen and red. Will NEVER go back to this place. No one should be treated this way when paying for a service. I'm scared to see what my nails are going to look like under this manicure. read more

Went there to get nails done they were not even in the slightest the lady was rude and in a rush and I have an infection on one of my nails, will never go there again would give 0 stars if I could don't waste your time or money here please for your own safety read more

Used tin foil and nail polish remover to remove the "SNS" dip powder which I've never had a nail tech do. I left a review on google reviews and the owner responded very unprofessionally. The most recent nail tech I went to at a different salon (along with a few other techs at this amazing nail salon) told me that the tech at Stafford nails used a form of acrylic on my nails which is why they were extremely thick. When I told Stafford nails this information , owner of Stafford nails basically told me that it was not acrylic and not to listen to "inexperienced nail tech." Needles to say, when I got my nails done (SNS dip powder) at another salon they had a lot more colors to choose from , spent more time with me and my nails looked incredible (unlike they did at Stafford nails). I will never go to Stafford nails again. read more

The worst experience of getting my nails done in years. The lady who did my nails was so rude. She was hurting me so bad while doing my nails because she was in such a rush . And when I said the nails look too thick, (seriously like tic-tacs) she kept shaking her head thinking I m getting it done for the first time . Never going to that place again where you don't appreciate your customers . read more

I went to this salon for 8 years. Today I was VERY disappointed. I never make an appointment and I'm always okay with waiting. However today I waited for an hour and was moved to 6 different chairs. When I moved to chair #6 I asked if the girl was going to start working on me because I had to leave by a certain time to pick up my daughter from work, the lady told me 5 more minutes. I said okay I'm going to call her dad to pick her up I was on the phone for a minute asked him to pick up our daughter because I was nail salon he said okay no problem hung phone up... because I was on the phone the lady started another client. It was very disappointing, I waited an hour no complaints even when I was moved to 6 different chairs. I will never go back there and I said that to the ladies, John (the owner) is a VERY nice guy and keeps things in order but I learned when he isn't around it's a shit show! read more

This place is awful. My friend and I came here on Friday for manicure and pedicures. I now have a really bad infection on my toe. I have never gotten an infection from any other nail salon. My friend was cut twice during her manicure and the manicurist never even mentioned it. I would never go here again. I don't believe the manicurists are properly trained. Beware. read more
