Honestly this place had great customer service, but the work itself was just ok. The older lady that helped me was very sweet but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. The color i selected didn't match the regular gel for my pedi but i have to admit they really tried finding a solution. read more

Tip Top Nails - Not the cleanest work - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I feel extremely disrespected by this business. I've come here for a few years now whenever I'm in the area and need their services. Today I had an appointment for 2:45pm, I asked for a 3pm appointment but the lady who answered asked if I can come in at 2:45 instead, sure no biggie. I arrived and check-in 10 mins early. They have me sit and wait, 3:10 comes around I'm still patiently waiting. I just walked out and told them my appointment was almost 30 mins ago and I'm still waiting. They were not apologetic at all. Smh thats so disrespectful of my time. I get there's a pandemic, but I was asked to come in at this time, just to sit and wait? Not cool, very RUDE. read more

I made an appointment for the next day at 9am, acrylics and a pedicure. I got there 9:05 and there was no one who does acrylics. So they started with my pedicure which I had to wait 10 minutes for. I liked my pedicure and the girl was friendly. They sat me at the station to start acrylics but the girl who does them wasn't there yet. I waited another 15 min. She asked me how I wanted them I said squared and narrow because I don't like when they're stubby and wide. Half way in she says it's gonna be $28 for the acrylics bc of The shape I always pay no more than $20....my acrylics & pedicure came up to $43. My manicure has bubbles all over it Don't bother making an appointment they'll consider you a walk in The place is not very clean, the stations had dust and acrylic powder all over them Their selection of colors is ok read more

Honestly, I feel embarrassed for posting this picture. But should let you all know how my nails/fingers turned out. I called for an appointment and went in at 5:30 stayed there for 30 minutes and they ended up refusing to assist me even though I had an appointment left there very disappointed and ended up getting a call from manager apologizing and was offering her service. I went in the next day. First picture shows after service I got bumps all over my finger nails, second picture shows with bumps and my pinky finger swollen and with a blister. Third picture shows bumps and with my skin peeling off, literally shed a whole layer of skin! This has NEVER happened to my nails. I got fungus all over my nails. I wouldn't want no one to get this on their nails do not come here!!! read more

I was recommended this salon 3 years ago by my friend who has been going here for many years and I love it! I've grown to know some of the staff well and always love my nails. I go through phases...acrylics with gel or just mani with gel. But I always get a pedicure and feel relaxed when I leave with my lovely nails :-) Helen is awesome, she does my acrylics. Tom is a master at the perfect gel mani and Diane makes my feet soooo happy :-) Everyone is great though, and you can tell they each have their own happy long time clients. It's conveniently located across the street from South Bay Galleria but not a part of that crazy parking mess, they have ample parking in the back. If you're looking for a salon in the South Bay give them a shot. Not an overpriced pretentious salon, just a friendly salon with great spa chairs and great service. read more

Cathy is my go to girl! Love her work and is always available when I walk in and not make an appointment. I have been coming here for about 15 years plus. My whole family comes here to get manicures and pedicures. Diana is also someone who I went to prior to Cathy joining the team. Love it here!!! read more

First I have to say, Michelle usually does my nails is fantastic!!! She is the only reason I go back. But I have to say I'm considering not returning. First of all the place is no longer clean. There are long dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling. Secondly, it's way past time to order some new nail polish. Your polish is old and of bad quality. You need to realize not everyone wants gel nails. It would also make a customer feel more welcome if someone greeted you when you walked in the door!!! Helene it would be better business if you answered your reviews in a more polite and professional way. read more

Horrible.. Very bad service half the staff is sitting around and talking while the only 3 other staff members are somewhat working. Im done with my nails and they came out uneven and ugly. My friend is waiting to get hers finished at the table and they keep leaving and coming back... But 4 staff members are aitting watching tv.... I suggest no one come here.. Not worth it!! read more

Amazing!!! I'm absolutely in love with my nails. My technician Michelle is absolutely gifted. She did not rush doing my nails and made sure everything was perfect. She even noticed I was getting a little hot and turned on the fan for me. Very nice of her to make sure I was comfortable. This will definitely be my go to spot to get my nails done for now on. Thanks Michelle! read more

Super disappointed,. So they open at 9 AM. I called right before 9 AM, and they said they could get me in at 9:30 AM so I sat in my car until 930. Went in just before 9:30 AM and then they said no no we can get you in at 10 AM. Was just disappointing considering I only really had about an hour and a half before I had to get to work. If they had been upfront and honest about the time of my service I could've gone somewhere else and not miss this opportunity. read more

Michelle was great ! I was honestly a little skeptical about coming here after reading some of the reviews but co-worker always has amazing gels that don't peel, chip, or lift up for weeks on end so I asked her and she told me about this hidden gem. If you come here ask for Michelle as she is really nice and does her work throughly and is a bit of a perfectionist which is always good: read more

I got my nails done by Helen for the first time and I absolutely loved them. I have been getting acrylic gel nails for over 10 years so I know when I'm getting what I paid for. I absolutely loved the shape and color and they lasted me a long time without getting a fill. She paid attention to detail and gave me a great manicure. I am very satisfied with my nails and will be returning regularly. read more

They do have good prices and doing an OK job. The only thing I dislike is every single time I came in one of the employees was eating soooooo loudly, like it's their last meal on this planet. The last time I came the lady was sitting right in front of me smacking on her icecream and then started picking her teeth. Very unproffesional , not to mention gross. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! If I could give a negative rating I would. My best friend, her daughter and I came here today for my birthday and we will not return. We should have known that this was not a good place. 1- The place was empty while the Nail salon next door had a wait time of an hour. 2- the place was dirty and 3- The work they did on our nails was not worth what they charged us. The man that did my nails was so rude and was such in a rush that my nails look horrible. (My nails are uneven and all my nails have bubbles. He was too busy paying attention to the football game rather than my naills. Mani/Pedi with French tip = $29 Regular Mani/Pedi = $23 Pedi with French tip = $18 All NOT worth it. It was a total waste of our time and money! read more

If I had the ability to put less than half a star I would. Absolutely hated this place everyone was so rude and they don't understand English one bit. My nails look gross and the lady that was working on me cut me several times. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. STAY AWAY. read more

Tip Top Nails - I wanted my acrylics completely taken off and they couldn't do that clearly. Poorly painted as well. - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

It's not the newest looking place but they are very friendly and clean, as far as tools. They were in a sterilizer oven in the little packages, at least when I came in with my bf. He has size 14 feet and they were rude or dumb about pricing, they did not charge him extra either! In totality we got two spa pedicures and one gel mani the grand total was: $50 (that includes a generous tip). And if you use a card they do charge $1 ! The pedicures were good, they got his hang nails out (plays football) and they're NOT pushy at all! Yay ! They don't have OPI or other expensive nail polishes but that's just fine. There's no Gaps, NO GAPS on my gel manicure, she even got the sides and its very even! Which everyone knows ever hardly happens ANYWHERE you go... WELL my gel chipped at exactly a week but that was expected because i work with gloves on my hands ALL day. This is more of a last minute quick mani pedi place. read more

Went today for the second time since I've moved to the area. I tried a couple of other places, mainly because they had deals going on, but none have been better than Tip Top Nails. Not only do they do a fabulous job (I added a photo of my French mani/pedi), but the ladies are very sweet and the place is CLEAN. The pedi chairs seem new or if not very well maintained. I felt completely comfortable there. They also do a great brow wax for only $7! I'm moving to Long Beach in 2 weeks but I will honestly come back to Torrance when I need a mani/pedi :) read more

I've been coming to this nail salon for a while. I love their service, and they are very thorough. The prices are not too bad either! Mon-Thurs $20 for Spa mani-pedi. I wanted gel nails, so it was $15 extra. It is best to call ahead to see how busy they are. Usually in the early afternoon isn't too bad. I came on a Wednesday evening and it was very crowded. read more

Came here for the first and last time today. I needed a walk-in appt. and my regular (Ty & Lynn) were booked for the day. Gems do come packaged poorly so when I drove by, I stopped and sure enough, they had openings. The manicure took 10 - 15 minutes with maybe a 60 second massage. Pedicure was more thorough, massage longer, but NO pressure. Back to Ty & Lynn's... read more

I've been coming here for over a year but just for Tom he is so good at pedicures the only one who cleans them good. I've had acrylics here but I wasn't a fan.

STAY AWAY!! I should have listened to other reviewers. This place is FILTHY. The staff dont speak English and what little they do know is rude. They laughed at us. I should have got up and left. The man cut open 4 of my fingers with the dremmel. I asked for gel. I was given acrylic. This Place is a dump and the perfect place to catch a disease. They dilute nail products with acetone, it looks like its never been vacuumed, let alone cleaned. It should be reported to the health department. read more

I discovered this wonderful salon earlier this year and the fact that it took me this long to write a review is a travesty. Best customer service and wonderful work. I came here after another place literally burned my nails with a horrible gel job and they took care of me, over the course of two months Tom and Helen took their time with the growth of my nails and cuticles. I can't say enough nice things. I'm a total tomboy and destroy my fingers and these guys keep me looking like a freaking lady. A++++ tip: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE WORK SOMEONE IS DOING ON YOU, SPEAK UP! PEOPLE CANNOT READ YOUR THOUGHTS. Kindly stop them, voice your request and make sure you get what you pay for. read more
