Overpriced & Terrible! Went last week for a gel fill & got the worst manicure I've had in 15 years of getting gel manicures. The woman who did my nails said she had been doing nails 29 years which is crazy to believe. When I first sat down she looked at my nails and said- Oh your nails are good. Huh!? I said- Well yes but they are growing out, I want a new color & need them shorter. After she did the gel base I told her how my nails felt so thin and I could see the white from the natural nail through the pink gel (which I've never seen before). She just kept saying- Yes that's your nail. As she painted my nails she was blobbing it on and the color didn't set flat. Nails were not even painted all the way down to the bottom on some. She had to put many layers on my pinky nail to cover up the natural nail showing through. The gel fill was $60!!! More expensive than most places in town which I wouldn't mind paying if it was actually good. And I was nice enough to tip her 20% b/c I'm nice. Now less than a week later 2 of my nails have chips out of them b/c they are so fragile. I would not go back there to even have anyone attempt to fix them. It was a mistake trying this place after seeing people recommend them. I definitely won't be back! read more

Topline Nails - Gel fill was done Wed this is today 5 days later - Nail Salons Near Me - Hillsborough, New Jersey

The best nail salon! My nails lasted 5 weeks! Very nice mother/daughter salon. Very accommodating.

Always so accommodating with scheduling and manicures last a long time. Great people and service.

I don't usually leave reviews but the pedicure was BEYOND disappointing- not even average. No exfoliating (although was listed on the chart in the store as part of the service), about 15 seconds on each foot of the pumice stone and a 5 second rub of each leg. Lasted a total 17 mins from start to finish. Not worth $30!! Picture is from the shop as I am drying my nails. read more

Worst Pedicure I ever got. I went here yesterday with my daughter for a regular pedicure and gel Manicure. Both my technician and my daughters only put one coat of color on our toes. I told my I needed extra spacing between my toes because of the way my toes overlap. She didn't do that and by the time I go home one was wore off. I will say she did an excellent job on my Gel manicure, although it wasn't a real manicure, she did not trim my cuticles. My daughter's gel manicure was not so good. Again not a complete manicure. Did not trim cuticles and one of her nails is all jagged. Definitly will not go back here. I don't know how they have gotten any good reviews. read more

This place doesn't offer a no chip option. They force you to either do gel or normal Polish which is clearly of poor quality. went for a regular manicure which chipped terribly bc of the low quality nail polish they use. I went in the next day to fix and her response was they don't "guarantee" chip free on normal polish. she did my nails again but with such a nasty attitude. I will not return. read more

The only place I'll get my nails done from now on. I've been going here for probably a little over the year and everyone is amazing, welcoming, and knows you by name. Support your local small business and go to Topline. read more

Just an FYI.. gel, nail lacquer, and dip powder shades do not match for all of the colors they have. At first I wanted to get a nice baby pink, but was informed that in dip powder it was basically all sparkle and completely different than what they had on the wall. I decided to choose something else, a nice purple since Easter is on Sunday. I choose the color and she begins, it looks very gray but I figured it might change once she puts the clear coat on... but nope. I immediately said that this was not at all the color that I wanted to the woman doing my nails stops and discusses with the owner. Her response was, "oh yea, they are a different formula so it looks different." Then why is it advertised as if they all are completely the same? This was now my second choice that was not even in the ball park of what I was looking for. She suggested putting a light lilac gel on top but that would be even worse to me than the gray color. This is not at all how I wanted to spend my afternoon or my money. I was completely unsatisfied, frustrated, and disappointed with my experience. Oh and on top of that, there is no calf massage during the pedicure, and she completely changed the shape of my nails from an almond to basically a circle... I decided to come because it was highly recommended by a friend, but I'm afraid today will be my last time. read more

After trying this location and the manicurist (3) times. I can honestly say they are mediocre. I am a give everybody the benefit of the doubt type personality. However, I would never after my experiences at Hillsboro's Nail Salon, - Top Line Nails ever recommend anyone to go there. I have never experienced such a poor disposition/attitude from a proprietor. I was on time for my appointment, followed protocol, washed my hands wi a few moments after entering, and then went to the wall with all the color samples, and proceeded to pick a color. In a few min. I had selected two colors and was ready to receive a manicure. However, before sitting down the sample colors were grabbed from my hands, and I was given another group of colors, that I had no interest in looking at. I only have gotten gel manicures, and the samples I was looking at are exactly for that purpose. This is the 2nd time Lisa, the older proprietor, has been curt, standoffish, rude, and mean spirited. I thought maybe there was some miscommunication or language barrier. As I did not react. I just went with the flow. However, she just kept trying to push her way on me, a dose of meanness, a dose of somewhat normal amicable behavior. Until I called her out on her behavior and let her know she was "way off basis with a can't be bothered attitude. I had been there the month before and asked for my ring fingers to be painted with an alternate color by another manicurist and like most nail salons it was "no problem" I had an idea of what I wanted, not (100 %) sure and asked for input, again no problem, reason being because she wasn't there - an over the top "control freak" This is the 2nd time experience with her (Lisa) a nasty/moody, all about the sale, and (not at all) about the customer. Turns out the color samples on the wall often don't match the gel nail polishes in the bottles. To compensate and fool the customer, Lisa gets huffy, upset and nervous and mistreats her new clients who may be a little naive, not knowing what to expect. Because she can't be upfront from day one, and when she realizes you're not a wall flower, and you're not going to take her crap, she changes her tune! I called the Salon (4) days in advance to schedule just a manicure, and was about to bring to the scheduler's attention, that I wanted my nails to be shaped a little different beforehand, and although I had no intention of getting a pedicure, instead of saying NO, I went with the flow. I'm very choosy about pedi's because I have been hurt by other salons that did not have enough experience/certainty of what they were doing. I have been cut with both nail cutters/ and drill sanders. However, the scheduler didn't give me a chance to ask any questions, she just abruptly cut me off in conversation and asked if I wanted a pedicure. A lot of manicurists work in sweat shop type environments, that have the mentality of herd like get em in/get em out!!! It reflects in their personalities, not all are like that, watch out if your manicurist has had a bad day/post menopause!!! I felt so stifled by her. Truth be told I think, Lisa was ticked off, I canceled the pedicure a day in advance. You would think after "28" years and being a family business, that over booking/scheduling too tight would not be an issue! What ever happened to good customer service & repour. After two separate occurrences being subjected for a 2nd time, to a terrible lack of kindness, bad attitude, contrary to what love thy neighbor as thy self/golden rule is all about, being haggled/pressured so bad I would never recommend/suggest Lisa at Top Line Nails - Hillsborough route 206, NJ. The other two manicurist tend to be more customer service oriented! read more

Have been going here forever. Even though it's out of my way, I come here because the other salons I've been to are just not up to par. It's not a communication issue with the other places, but that Topline Nails does a better job. I get gel polish and everywhere else I've gone, the application is too thick. All the ladies at Topline apply the gel polish perfectly, so they feel natural. I like it this way because I keep the gel polish on for a good 5-6 weeks. In addition, my eyebrows always look flawless after they wax and shape it. The salon is very well-kept. Everything is clean and the atmosphere is very positive. The place is almost always packed with regulars like me. I usually ask for Tram, but everyone else is excellent, too. Perhaps I prefer Tram because my routine mani/pedi/wax appointments double as a therapy session with her because she has a Masters in social work. This is a family business, so don't be surprised that it's staffed with educated professionals. I agree with the positive posts here on Yelp, but the negative posts I think are more about preference than the skills of the staff (and what got me to leave this very long 5-star review.) Each customer is different and each one's requests should be accommodated. I always communicate if I want something done a certain way and I will leave a poor review if my request is not accommodated. It's the same for massages, I am really careful with reading reviews because it seems like the problem is the lack of communication. With that said, it's unfair to leave a poor review because the place isn't staffed with mind readers. Let them know how you want it done, it's that simple! Their Instagram and Facebook pages are filled with custom nail designs. They've done all sorts of designs for me including a sugar skull. Tram is very artistic, I don't know how she can hold her hand so steady when she's painting small, delicate designs. I encourage you to check out their work and get creative at your next appointment! read more

The women are very friendly and I enjoyed chitchatting while I was there but the pedicure I got left much to be desired. I didn't have time to sit and get it re-done so I had to take off the polish as soon as I got home. It was unfortunately not wearable. Lots of bubbles and very uneven coats. I may give it a second chance with a different technician another time. read more

I came in with a picture they do walk ins but I think they prefer calling ahead of time as they gave me a business card. gets quite busy even on Monday afternoon. I got acrylics and a pink gel or whatever it's called and regular nail polish on my nails. love the design. thinking of pink palm trees or something nude next time read more

Topline Nails - I got the acrylic with pink gel and regular nail polish red hearts! love the feel and color very vibrant! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hillsborough, New Jersey

I thought that a gel manicure (25) included a manicure. Sadly, it only came with a quick buff and polish. One of my nails had cracked and they had to put acrylic over one nail and charged me $5. I paid 30 for a buff and file, gel nail polish and one acrylic nail. Seems like a rip off ... The man who did my nails was very nice but I can't give more stars because I feel as though I was ripped off. read more

Went in for a pedicure and honestly hands down was the worst one i ever had. everything was rush and all about money. Tried to support a small business and was left highly disappointed. If i can give zero stars i would. Paid with no problem even left a tip but i will never recommended anyone there or will go myself ever even if it was the last spot on earth. read more

Unfortunately I won't be returning to this nail salon. Ever since getting a pedicure here, I've had a terrible pain in 3 toes around the nails. This has never happened to me after getting a pedicure. The polish job was fine, but they do not carry Essy or OPI polish. The salon is rather outdated and not particularly relaxing. It's been hard to find a great nail salon in this area. read more

By far the worst place I've ever been to. My appt was at 2:15 I was done by 3. That's for a gel mani & pedi & I waited 15 minutes. They charged me $50 They didn't cut the skin around my nails & they barely scrubbed my feet. They basically polished my nails. If I could give it no stars I would. Horrible read more

Great salon, I've been to many nail salons and I don't think I'll go anywhere else. The women there are so friendly and inviting, the prices are extremely reasonable, and they have a great selection of colors. They do a great job and I've never left unsatisfied. read more

It was a very nice place, I got my nails done here for prom! I've tried a couple other places in Hillsborough, and they all make my nails look so much bigger than they should. I went here and the girl made the nails look like they were my actual, natural nail, I showed her a design and she got it perfect to what I wanted! I would seriously recommend their place! They made me feel very welcome, and the girl who did my nails took her time, and was able to have an actual conversation with her! read more

I have been going to Topline for about 4 years and have loved it since the first day I walked in. Tram and her family are the sweetest and truly love their customers. I have recently moved and miss their work terribly. They are super thorough in their pedicures and offer scrubs which come in many delicious scents! My gel manicures always last 2 weeks and I never leave disappointed. Going to Topline not only is it relaxing but I also feel like it's a trip to catch up with my friends. The staff is truly amazing and the service is superior to any nail salon I've been to. read more

I am on a desperate hunt to find a decent nail salon in the Hillsborough area and so far I am 0-2, this place being the most recent. The ladies who work here are very nice, but other than that this nail salon is just not good. The place is very outdated, not a nice salon at all. My gel fill was overpriced, I paid $10 more than the salon I went to for years before I moved, and while the woman who did my nails bragged that she has been doing this for 35 years, the polish job was terrible- bumpy and ridged. Also one of my nails popped off twice and I had to superglue it. I haven't had this happen in over 5 years that I've been getting gel fills. Very disappointed by this salon, unfortunately. read more

As a newbie to the area, I was hesitant to just go to any salon. I definitely wasn't disappointed. Lisa did an awesome job and did exactly what I asked! I can't stop looking at my nails! read more

Hi I was at your nail salon today with my mom and I had a really bad experience there. The guy that did my moms nails was very rude and the nails look horrendous. He walked away from my mom before her nails were even dry because he did not understand what design she wanted.....The snowflakes don't even look like snowflakes. What happened to the customer is always right? If you can't do a design, give her to a colleague? This is supposed to be a happy and relaxing experience I'm very unhappy on how we got treated. Also, when he was taking off the previous polish, he was hurting her! She said something and he said "this is how I do my work on everyone, I'm not doing anything different". If you have a sensitive client, you need to accompany them and work differently. It literally ruined my moms day because she was looking froward to it and instead left crying in the car on the way home. There was cotton hanging off all her nails too because he didn't even finish!!! Very disrespectful environment. As a client for over a year, I expected better treatment. Would never recommend. read more

Definitely one of the best places I have been to. My gel nails last 3-4 without any problems. They take their time to do my nails always. They are friendly and their place is clean. Compare to other places that I have been to this by far is one of the best. They go out of their way to have their customers happy. Would not be going to another place ever again... read more

To be honest, I only went here because my usual nail salon was over booked and I was leaving for vacation the next day. So I went in, everyone was super friendly, so accomadating. I left the salon loving my nails and pedicure. Well, 2 days pass by, 2 of my nails chipped, my toe polish is coming off. I got regular gels and this never has happened before. I loved the friendly people who work there. But I will not be returning. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. I made appointment for first time there. Gel manicure and regular pedicure. The owner Van never soaked or cleaned up my nails. He also never told me he was putting acrylic under my gel. I asked when he said ok done why he didn't do a complete manicure only polish my nails? He said I was fine!! Then Lisa the other owner did half a pedicure. My toe nail was half polished and all 10 toes looked like my young granddaughter spilled polish on me! And my heels were more cracked and rough then when I walked in there. I asked Lisa and she said to use Vaseline and socks for a week!! Then they charged me extra for acrylic and gel. Never once told me this upfront. I did not want or ask for BOTH. Cheat the customers. Not good. Bad business and awful service. ZERO. All polish peeled off right away. FAIL read more

Went once. Won't ever be back. Was talked into getting a gel polish instead of acrylic because "it would last 4-5 weeks." $40, plus $5 to fix a broken nail. Okey, I did it. Only, four days later, two of my nails chipped. I went back for them to fix. Another tech "didn't know where to get" the matching color, and if she did redo both nails (these nails that I just spent $45 four days earlier, mind you) she'd have to charge me. Because the chips were small and my nails are long enough, I consented to her filing them down to cover the chip. See? I'm reasonably easy-going. I almost hit the roof, though, when she refused to cover the two nails with an extra coat of clear gel, saying that I "didn't need it." I then reminded her that I didn't need to return to this salon *four days* after dropping almost $50 on my nails, but there I was! An argument started until she turned to the owner--the person who did my nails earlier--and said something in Chinese. The owner must of consented because the tech then begrudgingly covered the two, just -fixed nails with gel. JUST the two. So, yeah, never returning. Overpriced, with substandard results, and coupled with inept costumer service, this is one salon I will avoid. read more

Love this salon!!! I moved to this area a few months ago & tried several places...This one is the best by far! I always have issues keeping polish on my nails for more then a few days without chipping/peeling (even with gel) & here my gel manicure stays perfect for at least 2-3 weeks! They have an amazing selection of polish from basics to the latest trending colors & styles... I always have a hard time choosing! Lol Super friendly staff, they do a terrific job & I always feel welcomed coming in. I would suggest making an appointment as it is a smaller family run business & can get busy but I've never had an issue scheduling one within a day or two!!Excellent place, highly recommend!!! read more

A beautiful manicure that lasts and lasts. Family owned and warm!

i hated this place.. the woman rushed my gel nails and it only took her 15 minutes when it shouldve taken 30-45. it was totally rushed and it is so sloppy. there are places on my nails with no polish and they are so sloppy when you look close up. one of the ladies is kind of rude too. never coming back here again. do not come here! read more
