    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.

    What I asked for
    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

    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!

    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.

    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***

    Very clean studio and professional and kind nail artists! Regular pedicure felt like a special spa experience. Great gel manicure with attention to detail esp since i have short nails. They use materials that are less toxic than most. Worth the price! Highly recommend.

    Day 3.
    Sarah J.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Topcoat last Saturday (7/31). My time there was nothing short of amazing. The staff here are kind and attentive. They've really created a peaceful atmosphere. First, this place gets booked really fast so it's best to call in advance. I called a week in advance and set my appointment. I had to pay a deposit of $80 to secure my appointment for the gel x manicure. I started off with a pedicure and then got a gel x manicure. The pedicure was great. The person who did it was very nice and took their time. My manicure came out wonderful. The nail tech was great and did the designs exactly like the picture I showed them. My total for everything was $190. Was it worth it? In my opinion no. The only reason I say this is my nails started to lift on day 3. I do not wash dishes or do anything out of the ordinary with my nails and I was very confused because I read that gel x nails are supposed to last much longer than acrylic. Unfortunately, that was not my case. I've only had them for a week as of today and I'm pretty disappointed with how they've held up. I've paid significantly less and they would still look fresh by day 4-5. This place is great and the staff is wonderful but for the price and with how long they've lasted, it's just not worth it. The first picture is day 1. The second picture is day 3. The third picture is today (day 7).

    When did we stop getting manicures because we wanted "fancy" nails?…read moreWhy do we have to insist on it with each finger nail service? It's been a while since I've had a proper manicure unprompted. Thanh at Light Street Nail Salon is thorough. She MANICURES my nails like they're going for inspection. At each visit, whenever I think she's finished, she'd hold my hand up and do more checking, nipping, massaging etc etc etc My only concern is my cuticles don't like to be snipped especially during the cold months. They retaliate like SHXT and I'm left with hangnails which is so tempting to cut but then when will the vicious cycle end? I digress The salon is small and tidy the techs and customers mature. It's truly a space where you can unwind, scroll your apps uninterrupted or engage in some small chit chat. I like the space. They're also affordable and don't use gimmicks to hike up their prices. AnnnnD, the price quoted at the start is STILL the price at the end of the service. Can I get an Amen!? Very nice salon. 4.5 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.
