Tip Top Nails LLC in Trenton, NJ

I'm so sad with my experience here. I just moved to this area, so this was my first time here and unfortunately my last. I asked for french tips with cute little ghosts on 2 fingers since Halloween is coming up. To start, my appointment was so rushed, as the guy took me with 15 minutes until his next client's appointment. Next, I didn't realize they don't use gel nail polish for french manicures - instead they use this airbrush color thing that has horrible payoff. It doesn't fill in your nails or add any color so it leaves them translucent and they look like those Kiss press on nails from the drugstore where you can see your natural nails behind the glue. My cuticles were so horribly done that after 3 days, they started to lift and my hair got caught under my nails in the shower. Three days! So, I went back in and kindly asked to get them corrected as the white tips were all crooked from the airbrush, there was no pink underneath and the base was just my natural nails (which are ugly), my nails are literally see through, the ghosts were cheap stickers when I was expecting a cute painted design, and they were lifting after 3 days. The workers took a look at them and spoke to each other in Vietnamese and then told me they "don't look bad, they look natural. You just don't like it." (Referring to the press-on nail look.) Then, he told me I have a lot of skin around my nails and that's why the guy messed up my cuticles. *That was such BS since this has never happened before to me, and Ive been getting my nails done for years. But I digress.* So to fix it they just took a small sander and cut around the cuticles and put a clear top coat on. During those 2 minutes I was thanking him and apologized as I have anxiety and don't want to make any of them feel bad and how they looked cute I just needed them fixed. He didn't respond once, nor did he tell me I was done. After the top coat dried under the light, he just got up and went behind the front desk on his phone and I was awkwardly sitting at the station waiting. Eventually after waiting 5 minutes thinking he was going to come over and fix the design or go over with the pink gel polish to fix the airbrush fail, another lady told me "you're done, you can go now" and I was appalled. They didn't fix anything except re-trim the cuticles sloppily, and they couldn't even give me the decency to tell me I was done and could leave after the gel top coat dried. Literally horrible service, I never ever leave bad reviews but I just wanted to put this out there for anyone looking for a nail salon in this area. They blamed me and made me feel horrible for going back. Don't go here in the first place, save yourself the time! So sad :(

I have been going to Tip Top since I was college aged and I still come, with my teenage daughter in tow! The team does a great, great job. My nails last for a weeks on end and they truly value their customers! This establishment is a staple for a reason!

This place is a bit or miss. Sometimes you get a nail tech that gives you what you want and looks nice (I usually like asking for patterns on Pinterest) and sometimes you get someone that obviously just rushes you out and it shows.

paid 20$ for the worst manicure of my life. barley filed nails, didn't paint around the edges and charged too much. do not recommend.

Me and my boyfriend went in for mani-pedi and I was appalled at the service and the technique the girls were very rude not friendly at all and the procedure for a basic manicure was something I've never seen in my life and it was so bad that part way through I just had to get up and leave I paid for it but I just had a feeling not only did I leave but another girl in the salon also left
