They've got great techs and the quality of the final look is great but the customer service leaves a little something to be desired. A deposit is required and they're not very flexible, even if seemingly empty/not overbooked. If you're worried about cutting it close to your appointment time (weather, traffic, etc.) I wouldn't recommend, since they weren't accommodating. I had to haggle over my appointment time and still was charged over and above my booking (basically lost my deposit) for being slightly late due to rainy weather.

They never disappoint!! They can do any request you make as long as you can provide a photo! I always get compliments at my office.

The luxurious vibe of this salon is Only the Beginning! The quality of service. The Respect for each individual client and the Constant EXCEEDING of my High expectations is UNMATCHED!! THAHN I know I our connection was established long before I stepped foot into your business and I'm so Elated that I've Finally found YOU. No matter the idea I come in with, you customize it for my decidedly short nail style and leave me Giggling like a little girl-anxious to show all of my friends!!! Thank You for your kindness and Professionalism and Super friendly support staff. My Birthday nails are so glamorous and I can't wait to sit in your chair next. Ladies and Gentlemen Come on In! YOU'LL be So GLAD you did

Great vibes, the techs are all so friendly. Great color options and speedy service. Results always come out looking good! Thankfully they validate for parking however there's still usually an additional $5 to cover so that is probably the only downside. Other than that I love this place!

It has become a monthly routine for me to come to Topcoat for my eyebrows and gel X extensions. I can't imagine going anywhere else in the city! I've seen a drastic change in my nail health since becoming a customer of theirs a few years ago. And I've lost count how many times people compliment me on my eyebrow shape. Every one in Topcoat is skilled and knows what they're doing. They have fun with it, the vibe is fun and lighthearted-- but they are about their business so make sure you make an appointment. I wish more nail salons were appointment only because it allows everyone to be in and out on time.

I have been client for over two years and these ladies never disappoint. Amy and her staff are always pleasant and professional. Not to mention the salon is always clean and sanitized after each client. I just get a gel manicure and regular pedicure, my polish lasts up to 3 weeks. They do not take walk-ins, so making an appointment is a definite to secure your spot . They also validate parking as well. They still adhere to the mask policy, so make sure you have a mask with you when getting services rendered. These ladies always keep my nails in tip top shape

My search for a great nail salon in Baltimore continues... this time I thought I'd give Topcoat a try after hearing great things on Yelp and reading about their non-toxic products. You must make an appointment with Topcoat - no walk ins - and when booking, they ask for a $30 deposit per service that will go towards your total cost. I booked a gel pedicure and gel manicure so my deposit was $60. You can get it back as long as you cancel within 24 hours. Before booking, they also let me know they offer $5 validated parking at the Harbor Park Garage which is great since their shop is right near the busy Power Plant Live area. When I entered, I was pleased with how clean, airy, and bright the shop was. Lots of plants, minimalist decor, and fun music playing. It's a loft style set up with pedicure and manicure stations downstairs and what I'm guessing is lash or waxing services upstairs. Their Covid-19 policies were clearly laid out and they have you sign a quick waiver and take your temperature. This place seems to really be on top of Covid precautions! The pedicure was really amazing - my tech took her time with the massage even though it was just a basic pedicure (many places skip the massage or don't take their time, but my girl was putting in work). The pedicure finished with a hot towel and I was left feeling relaxed and renewed. The gel pedicure was efficient and meticulously done. I have very short nails so she made sure to just file them into shape and not cut them down. I appreciated that since I'm trying to grow them out. She started to put my color on and then asked if I liked it before continuing - I'm glad she asked because what I picked was more shimmery than my preference so she grabbed a different color based on what I described and completely hit the nail on the head. She even finished with a hand massage using Baltimore's very own Mount Royal Soap lotion! Kudos to them for using locally sourced products! The total was $115 ($50 for the manicure and $65 for the pedicure). This is definitely on the pricey end but I'm willing to pay a little extra for great service and results. I've had great experiences at other nail salons but after a week or two, the polish seems to chip or peel and the results just aren't worth the money. My experience at Topcoat was great so now we must wait to see if the results last as long as I hope (2+ weeks would be great). It seems like they use quality products so finger(nails) crossed!

I came to Topcoat looking to get my nails done for the summer, and I was honestly blown away by the experience! I love that they're a small, family founded business local to the Baltimore area. But I also love the emphasis they place on using non-toxic products and keeping their clients (and workers) safe! The salon was clean, booking the appointment was easy. Thanh, my nail tech, was so patient with me in my indecision and helped me figure out what design to do- we settled on this geometric design that feels and looks clean. Would recommend this nail salon to anyone in the Baltimore area!

Topcoat is one of the nicest and most expensive salons I have visited. This salon caters to young black millennial women that take their nails very seriously. If you show them a photo to recreate, they will understand the assignment. I was very impressed by the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff. You have to book an appointment to be serviced here. I put down a deposit of $60 for a dip manicure with design and gel pedicure. Deposits are non-refundable if you do not show up. Also, they give you a $5 valet for parking. Once I arrived they took my temperature and I had to sanitize my hands. They took off the gel polish I had on previously and began my pedicure. I am so happy they did that before my pedicure that way I could play on my phone without the foil on my fingertips. The entire experience was relaxing, I enjoyed my conversation with Amy, she is very sweet. The manicure was also relaxing and they take their time to service you. Your appointment can take about 2 hours. Hannah paid close attention to so many details, the only thing that is missing is mimosas and wine. Again this salon is on the pricey side, my total due was $120 after my deposit (not including a tip). So my total payment was just over $200. This price tag is way too much for me to visit monthly, maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.

Annie P.

I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be frequenting Topcoat on a monthly basis! If you're looking for nail designs, Thanh, Amy, and Jennifer are the best at bringing your vision into a reality. I brought in a photo of a design that I liked and Thanh exceeded my expectations. COVID restrictions are in full force here, which gives me great peace of mind! Appointments are required due to the limited indoor capacity. Proper wear and social distancing is enforced throughout the salon. You must have your temperature checked and sanitize your hands when you check-in. The staff also uses gloves for your service and they take the time to sanitize each area after each customer is finished. There's a wide variety of colors in SNS and gel as well as regular polish. Both the manicure and pedicure I received were heavenly and super relaxing. Each nail technician takes their time for each service so you won't feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend treating yourself here!

Rebecca L.

Came here for some me-time and I feel in love with the space. They had great covid measures, and the place was clean and spacious. They have individually packaged tools for pedicures, which made me feel really good about the cleanliness of the salon. Thanh, was a great. She helped me pick a color since I couldn't decide. She did a great job with a basic manicure and pedicure. I can't wait to go back.

Tiffany D.

I really enjoyed my experience here . It was a perfect self-care day. GLOWS: - Friendly service (ensures that you get things done the way you ask for them) - I called last minute and they called back when cancellations happened to get me in - Super clean- covid procedures on point - the decor is nice! Love it. **The pricing is the pricing, but I cannot swing paying almost $200 for nails, toes, and eyebrows, so this won't be a frequent occurrence***

Karen H.

Sigh, well I feel bad even writing this, but I left disappointed today. The positive, the shop is nice, big clean and overall very friendly staff. The negative is my art and nail shape/ placement was terrible. My nail tech was very friendly and informed me she was able to do the art no problem. So I didn't want to question the process, I know sometimes getting nails done it can look crazy up to the last coat so I never question the process. I don't have the best eyesight, but once I got in the car, I realized how bad the design was. It's not even close to what I asked for and I didn't feel right asking for a refund or for a discount just because booking online I did agree all sales were final, also your card is on file so I assumed they would just charge me anyways. Overall, just not happy. I had to go somewhere else to have them fix the art. ... I just wish they would've specified that all the nail art online is most likely probably coming from one tech or just be honest you're not able to do the art asked for. ... the pictures below are what I asked for and what I

Ok so I've been looking for a good nail salon and thank the lord I found it. The techs are so nice and welcoming. There's no overwhelming chemical smell. Mind you I came straight from working a 13 hour night shift at the hospital and they made me feel so good. I was relaxed and the service it self was perfect. The girl doing my nails made sure to ask if my nails were the way I wanted them always. Did them exactly like the picture. Also did my eyebrows and they did an amazing job. My toes were perfection too and super soft. I can't complain! 10/10 recommend. read more

I've only been to this shop two times and I can already tell it's going to be a favorite! The first time I visited, I got a manicure AND pedicure. I would definitely go back for a manicure again, but found myself just wanting my toes to look nice for this last month of summer. Cici did my gel pedicure today and let me tell you...she did NOT miss! She checked in with me every step of the way to make sure the water temperature wasn't too hot for my feet. She also routinely checked in to make sure I liked the shape of my nails. She did a great job! This shop has also taken COVID-19 seriously, ensuring ample spacing between clients and lining the pedicure bowl with plastic that gets changed after each client. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I don't understand the positive reviews on this place. I have been searching for a good nail salon in the city and came here to find a higher end nail salon experience and was paired with possibly the worst nail tech I have ever had named Cici. The ambiance of this shop is cute but that's the only pro. The cons are many: sloppy nail polish application with polish and top coat all over my skin, crooked filing, no hospitality (the customer next to me was offered water while the owner proceeded to multitask and man the front desk but I never got offered water). Cici didn't even completely remove my old polish before sloppily painting on the new polish, despite my pointing it out. I canceled my manicure when the pedicure was done and will not be back-when I told the manager I was unhappy with my service, she just told me my balance and said to try another tech. The prices are clearly just to cover the Pratt St. rent. $80 for a terrible pedicure. Do not waste your money! read more

Honestly had a very bad experience. I had gone requesting a specific nail design and my nail tech either pretended or genuinely did not know what ombré or matte meant... so I paid almost $80 for nails I didn't like but because they require a deposit, I wasn't going to leave and lose money. After everything the dip nails lasted a week and a half. Also wasn't offered any water or anything which isn't a huge deal but if I'm paying $80 I'd kind of expect a bit better service. read more

I got my nails done at this salon for my birthday, just a standard mani/pedi. The salon appeared very clean and comfortable and I enjoyed myself while I was there. However, two weeks later when I removed the polish off my toes it appears that I had developed a nail fungus from my pedicure. I have never experienced this before and it is clearly a result of dirty tools/pedicure bowls at this salon. So disappointing as I was set back $100 with tip and tax for a basic mani/pedi with regular polish. This was the first time I've had my nails done since COVID started and although it was nice in the moment, I now have a terrible fungus situation to treat over the summer. Definitely not going back again and would not recommend it, the price is too high and clearly they did not sanitize their tools well enough. read more

Came in for a pedi and gel mani but switched to dipping as soon as i arrived. I was in love during my pedicure and thought I found a great nail salon. However, when it was time to start on my hands the lady sat me at the booth, said she'd be right back and was gone for 30 minutes. I sat there with my hands in water for 20 min before anyone said something. She started a client upstairs and decided I would wait for her to be done. If changing my service messed up the scheduling it should've been communicated. I could've rescheduled or agreed to wait. But to disrespect me and lack any courtesy is unprofessional and unforgivable. I know it's because I was a black woman that they felt comfortable with how they treated me. Hope I find a salon that appreciates me and my business. Still tipped too. read more

I found out about topcoat through the Yelp Instagram. When I heard that they were a family owned women-led business I just new I had to check it out. Their IG is extremely helpful and informative when it comes to figuring where to park, COVID requirements when entering the store etc.. When I first arrived I was greeted by Amy and Thahn (both owners) I came for a a pedicure and honestly it was the best pedi I've ever had. I got the wellness pedi since I hadn't had one since March. I love how well Amy did my feet. The salon is brand new and very COVID safe. They use 100% organic nail polishes are chemical free and safer than typical brands you'd fine in other salons. The quality was superb and they were so kind a approachable. I went back a 2nd time and got my nails done and it was the same experience. Very safe, super professional and not once was I rushed. Everyone in the salon is great so you can go to just about anyone and have a great experience whatever service you are getting. I can't wait to come back and get my nails again. I definitely plan on being a regular at Top Coat! read more

FAVORITE NAIL SALON EVER! From the product quality to the color choices to the amazing services, to the location and aesthetic of the place - truly a wonderful experience. Best dip manicure I have had in all of Baltimore. The pedicures are phenomenal. This last time I went in a week and a half before my appointment to get one nail redone because I slammed my hand in a door and broke a nail. Not only did they tell me to come in that same day, they also put a tip on the broken nail to make it the same length as my other nails, fixed another nail that had a crack in it( also my fault), as well as redid the top surface of the rest of my manicure so that the two new nails matched, and on top of all of that they didn't even charge me!!! I have been going to top coat since last winter and I can't say enough great things about them. If you are planning to go for your first time, I would recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. I'm a customer for life now. read more

I was just at the spot I started going to in B-More but alas, today they weren't as receptive as…read morethey usually are. I left and walked one block and found this salon and here we are. I didn't have an appointment and I was told there would be a wait. While I waited, I was offered a chair massage. This was such a great idea as by the time Susan was ready to start my Pedi, I was well and truly relaxed. Susan's pedicure is top notch. You should see how she's even holding my toes. (Writing this review while she works) Don't judge the lack of "prettiness" in here on the same level as skills. They may not have all the fancy lighting and, art decor etc but this is one of the best regular pedicures I've had for a long time. My toenails are being prodded, filed, cleaned, massaged and lotioned like they are going for inspection. I am thoroughly enjoying and appreciLIKING how professional and thorough Susan is! I cannot speak for the others, but if your toes need some love, definitely book with Susan! I recommend! The End.

I arrived 5 minutes early and checked in without issue and my service started right on time. I did ask about acrylic overlay for my big toes as they often chip but Vivian I informed me they don't offer that and opted to use a bit of glue on one break I just got. I appreciated how she took her time and the end results were great. The business is clean and very intimate (I was the only person for the 1st 30 minutes of the appointment). I also saw her open new tools which I so love and I was relaxed the entire time. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area !!

I had my first appointment here on September 4th for a full acrylic set with gel polish. I have no…read morecomplaints about this set, and all nails remained in tact with no lifting until my fill. I made an appointment for a fill on Saturday, October 11th because the original set was holding up so well. During this appointment, I had the nail tech make the shape a bit more to my liking and did a simple French tip design. During the appointment, I noticed that (unlike other fills I've gotten), she did not go around the base of the nail to clip any potential lifting-- she just went straight into applying a new layer of acrylic. I'm not the professional, so I didn't think anything of it. The design came out beautiful, and I was again happy with the service. Unfortunately, two days later on Monday, October 13th, half of a nail popped off when I was wiping my hands. The acrylic popped off, but did not cause any damage to my nail underneath. They are closed Tuesdays, so I called on Wednesday to ask when I could come in to have the nail fixed. Ordinarily, when a customer is inconvenienced because of an application error, I would expect the service provider to correct it immediately. Instead, they told me to come in Thursday. I was slightly disappointed, but agreed. On Thursday, October 16th I went in and got the nail fixed. During this appointment, the nail tech noted she filed down too low on my nails and checked the integrity of the rest of the nails. She fixed the broken nail, and I was on my way. Two days later on Saturday, October 18th, I knocked a different nail on the stove. I've been getting acrylic nails for a decade and have jammed my nails much much worse and not caused any damage. This was merely a graze on the top of the stove. On Sunday, October 19th, I realized that this caused a crack in the middle of the nail. With some finesse, I was able to get the tip off without disrupting my natural nail, but this had already caused a complete tear to the middle of my nail bed, so I had to clip my natural nail down. Within a week of getting the fill, I've had two nail breaks and this was not due to any aggressive treatment to my hands. Worse, this second break has gone down to the middle of the nail bed, so I can't get this fixed. This is a luxury service and this shop has add on costs for everything (including for certain shapes). I can't, in good conscience, recommend this shop or its technicians because there are clearly quality assurance issues. The only reason I would return is to get the rest of this set soaked off because it is clearly a hazard. For the price, absolutely unacceptable.

She insisted she could do it and it would be fine, but I could tell she wasn't confident so I just kept saying I can get something else it's no worries because I would rather it look good than get a design that doesn't look good. She did it anyway, and it was not at all what I asked for. But it was still fine whatever I paid and left. But exactly 2 days later, two of my nails had already chipped. So I went back to get them soaked off, and a new tech did them. He asked if I wanted gels again and I was hesitant. But he said I didn't have to pay for them, so I said okay sure. Then while doing my nails, he told me that I probably chipped them from opening soda cans. I was like huh ?? First, I don't drink soda, and second gel nails should be strong enough to open a soda can with lol but whatever. Then he told me that because it's so cold out it takes the gel longer to cure so I need to wait a couple days before opening soda cans (?!??) what's up with this guys soda can obsession? Anyway I tell him again that I don't drink soda but okay sure. He does my nails, they're fine, I go to leave and he charges me $27 for the soak off. Like wtf?????????? But I don't feel like arguing so I just did it and left. I kid you not 3 days later like half of my nails have chipped or peeled off already. Literally a waste of $160 and 3 hours of my time.

For 12 minutes. I arrived about 15 minutes earlier to my appointment because I don't know the area that well and it was cold that eventually. Finally I just spoke to the first person who was a tech there and just mentioned I had a an appointment starting in a few minutes and she said yeah I know pick your color, with an attitude as if I was disturbing her with my presence! ‍ Cool. Picked my color. Sat for another 15-20 minutes. No one came by to ask if I needed anything or to acknowledge that the tech was running a little behind. Finally some older lady comes and waves and hand signals to follow her. I could care less if someone can't speak English as we can always figure out how to explain ourselves someway but the tech who was translating to her was the RUDEST passive aggressive person I have yet to meet in an establishment. Not sure if she's the owner but WOW! I asked if they can do an extension on my big toe and she asks if I booked it and I said no because there was no option online for it but that I did call right after I booked it and the lady I spoke to did say the day of the appointment I can request it as an add on service. So she translates and she starts with my pedicure first. Cool. No issues. The older lady was nice but her nail skills were someone learning. Maybe she couldn't see well anymore, I don't know but the two toes I requested were HORRENDOUS. Both lopsided and one was larger with acrylic than the other. ‍ I really exhausted and I didn't want to complain because I wanted to move on to the next service and get back to my hotel room and rest. While I was requesting the add on service I asked if she would be able to also do a lower leg wax since I would be sitting in the chair for a while for my pedicure. She said she wasn't sure and once my hands were done that she might have time. As she turns her she rolls her eyes and shakes her head! This was the translator. I asked and told her if not it was cool too. Well after giving me the spa pedicure treatment she does the wax. Oh boy! She hardly used the wax and only did the front of leg and not the back. Again, I was really exhausted and didn't want to have an argument. Fine, moving on to my hands. LORD! I booked extension with nail polish powder. Umm. Starts right in the nail polish powder. The translator was sitting next to us with a client and when I got her attention I told her I booked an extension. She's like are you sure? And I said no yes I booked it. She checks and confirms and tells me, it early enough for her to restart my nails for the extension. Oh thank you for your generosity! ‍ Mind you I had prepaid for the services when booking. I have NEVER had my hands done and they not been prep my nails like push back my cuticles and trim them. She did nothing but start with buffing on my nail bed and start with the extensions with the glue. She also went under my nails and added the glue which my skin get attached to the nail. Several of my nails were stuck together like this. ‍ Oh boy and the nail shape. I asked oval. Ended with lopsided round. Then lumps in the nail gel powder. ‍ I did mention it and tried to buff a few out which meant she saw them but then those spots looked like mini hills when she dipped again in the nail powder. LORD! ‍ Okay. I know now I will have get my nails redone when I get back home because this was WILD work. So now it's time to pay for the addons ( lower leg wax and the two toes) charges me $40. I pay. Time for gratuity. I put none. I am not one to not tip but that WHOLE experience was TERRIBLE. The tech made eye contact with me when she saw the receipt and the one who first spoke to me about picking a color looked down at the receipt. She didn't ask anything on how the service was so I kept my mouth shut. Even the client who she was taking care of looked at me and could see how unhappy I was. I just walked out. This was a LONG one but honestly there was no exaggeration to what happened there. Sorry to blast the tech but her name was Cathy. My service was on December 23rd. Would NEVER recommend this establishment.

It's nice in there - a converted row home that still has exposed brick, plus comfy seating virtually everywhere. That said, I've been here 2x now. The first visit I received a spa gel pedicure and a gel polish change on my fingernails. Overall, the care I received was good, tho there was a sharp pinch on one of my toes during the cuticle cutting part of my pedicure. I appreciated the gentleness with which the nail tech removed the old gel from my fingernails, and the whole process was fairly quick (aside from the initial wait), which is awesome. One of my nails was super craggy at the bottom after a week though, which was not awesome, but happens sometimes. My second visit, I only did a polish change on my fingernails. Again, the tech was super gentle removing the old gel and she quickly painted my nails. I'm 3 days out from my last appointment and another fingernail has craggy nail polish at the bottom, but I hope it's something I can mention next time I visit. This place is OK with me.

I'm sharing hoping to help someone else from making the same mistake I made and hoping HN does better. I asked for the latest availability when I rang for an appointment. They gave me 7pm. I explained what I wanted done and confirmed I'll be able to get it. I was reassured. About seven minutes after coming off the phone, they rang and asked if I could come in for 6pm instead. I told them that would be difficult as I had just made another appointment for a pedi at 6pm. I said I would get there as soon as I finished and asked if that was okay. They said it was. I went to my other appointment earlier and was seen to immediately so I was able to get to Harbor Nails at 6:15. When I walked in and I gave my name the lady looked at me like I had fangs coming out of my mouth. I repeated my name and my appointment time 7pm but that I was asked to come in earlier. She still looked clueless. She started scrolling through her phone. After a minute of me just standing there I asked if there was a problem. She said she won't be able to do my nails today. I responded rather stoically, "you called and asked me to come in earlier, I changed things around and now you're saying my appointment is cancelled?" She just looked at me. I showed her my call log asking "is this your number?" She said yes. "Well that's the number that rang and requested that I get here as soon as I could." She kept staring at me. I tried again, "so you won't be able to see me for my APPOINTMENT TODAY?" She said no. I replied "okay thank you" and I turned and started walking out. She shouted after me, (not rudely just loudly) "YOU COME BACK SEVEN!" Huh? I was extremely annoyed. What a waste of time. I came all the way to this side of town thinking they honoured their appointments. A few minutes later. **Ring Ring** "Hello" "Hello did you call?" The voice on my line asked. It was a different voice than the lady I interacted with at the shop. I said no I didn't call again but asked why they cancelled my appointment without informing me. She said it wasn't cancelled they just pushed it back because they have to take walk-ins. I know how this works. I'm not against you making your money. However this isn't the way you make potential customers WITH APPOINTMENTS feel. All you had to do was pick up the phone. She asked if I was coming back. I told her it was okay I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I left the shop and walked across the street to the plaza searching my phone for another spot when I found INSPIRE NAILS in the same plaza I was at! Under new management with a shop as dazzling as they are nice. I was happy! As I was leaving inspire with my nails looking all pretty and crisp, I had my Pretty Woman Moment. I held my hand up to HARBOUR NAILS and said "BIG MISTAKE, HUGE". (I play way too much) Mike at the brand new INSPIRE NAILS is now MY NAIL GUY! To be clear, I cannot speak on their nail techniques because I wasn't able to have a service done. The End.

My horrible stories about past nail experiences were all obvious in my nail beds and she didn't hesitate to soothe my nails with her 30 years of pure love for nails. So when I asked her- did she do her own nails and she said yes, the detail of the nail art wasn't my biggest wow, it was the evenness of the paint strokes that wowed me. Her nails looked like press ons. Sold! She took her time, filed, clipped, clipped. Filed excess powder off for even distribution of the powder. No rush just pure passion. The appreciation is priceless that I have for her work. Kim my nails thank you sooo much. See you in a few weeks‍ -Bee

This was my second time here and when I tell you they remembered me and what they did for me and asked about my sister and the baby and about my move to Cali soon. This type of customer service and personable character speaks volumes to me. I love the fact that they really treat you as family in no time. Trust I get it is a business and being polite should be required, but this place goes above and beyond. Twee did another fabulous job on my nails. I suggest that if you are in the area you try them out.
