    I really wanted to like this place. However the French nails that I got they didn't manage to clean the white streaks left after. I had to go home and clean them up myself. They cut to much around my cuticle that some of it bleed. They charged me 40 dollars for the gel nails that I got. There are less expensive nail salons that do a better job in the area.

    Laura does a great job!

    I've been coming here for a while now & I love it!! The location is awesome, right next to beautiful Land Park ... right next to Starbucks, my usual stop before each appointment lol I've recently been seeing Laura & she's awesome!!She's super sweet & always does a great job. She pays great attention to detail & really takes her time. I get regular acrylic fills with her & I'm pretty particular & she 'nails' it every time (sorry had to lol) ... Sophia is also another great technician there that I see as well. Also, the pricing is really good. I was shocked to read a couple bad reviews recently cause I've always had great experiences here & I've been visiting 2x a month for the last couple years. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a great nail salon!

    I went to take off my gel nail polish & two acrylic nails that they had done. I decided I wanted to go with a professional to have them taken off. I was RUDELY sat down. The lady was very rough on my nails & with the two acrylic nails she RIPPED off my actual nail. It hurt very badly. I thought I had found my new nail place, but rest assured I will not be going back there. Not to mention when I got my gel manicure the lady told me that it was going to last a "long" time. They started chipping within a week.

    I hate to do this because I love the ladies here and they used to do such a good job. I'm hesitant to blame the quality of the work because I think a lot of it is the products. Ive been coming here since top gel opened and I swear they have not re-stocked products once. All of the gel polishes seem old and dry and they hardly have any selection when it comes to normal nail polish- they are all Mis matched off brands that also look very old. Anyway, after the last few gel manicures at top gel I left very pleased with service and quality of the manicure however the gel barley lasts a week. By day 4 both of my pointer fingers completely chipped off and the entire manicure looked horrible. They really need to re-stock with higher quality, fresh, products. Will most likely be making the drive to alabambra nails from now on.

    Was worried I wasn't going to be seen on short notice but they had an opening and do walk ins! Friendly staff will be coming back.

    Glue left all over my fingers.

    Ok so I'll start with the good, I walked in without an appointment and someone was able to work on my nails right away. I got a full set, with tips because I wanted an oval shape. The lady who worked on my nails was very nice and made good conversation, the place also seemed very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The bad: Since I was getting acrylic they could have just used regular polish but insisted on doing gel, which is of course more expensive. The way she shaped my nails was not at all consistent and she made the acrylic WAY too thick. She also was quite sloppy and left a bunch of glue on my fingers. I don't pay to have my nails done, just to have to come home and spend an additional 30 minutes scraping glue off. I would have had her clean my hands before I left, but since I didn't have an appointment she started on someone else's pedicure before my nails were even done curing. I did not tip her a full 20% like when I get good service. Even still it ended up costing me $45 for nails that I'm not satisfied with. At a glance they look nice enough, but close up its easy to see the poor quality. I will not be returning again.

    My favorite place for a gel mani in all of Sacramento! Be and Laura are my favorite manicurists. The interior is tidier than most places. My manicure comes out perfect each time. I try to make appointments, but I've never had to wait too long during a walk-in. They seem busiest on the weekends. My only complaint is the tight parking spaces, but luckily, I've always been able to find a spot.

    Harassment. She ruined my eyebrows, dropped hot wax on my cheek, and laughed about it.

    Horrible customer service by Sarah. SHE RUINED MY EYEBROWS! I asked for a clean up, and she left me with no eyebrows. On top of that she is laughing with other co workers. Lean did an amazing Mani pedi, but I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. Update- Sarah is now harassing me on Yelp. Horrible . . . so disappointed. My eyebrows were horribly done, and I was left with skinny barely there eyebrows. She also dropped wax on my cheek, laughed and walked out of the room. No reason to lie. Just want to help future clients not fall victim to your horrible waxing skills.

    Perfect soft pink. And one w/ gold. They have DD gel paint the best!!!

    Love this place! Sophia did my nails and facial waxing! She is very detailed, caring, and good conversation. I moved up here from the bay and have yet to find my go to nail salon until this one! I normally do dark colors and Sophia suggested a lighter color and two fingers with sparkles! Great suggestion goes well with my skin tone Can't wait to go back

    French tip with thin line by Sarah!

    Made an appointment with Sarah for the first time and was very happy with the quality and service she provides. Got a pedi & gel mani. She took her time cleaning up the cuticle, filing my nails evenly to polishing my nails with perfection! She was very sweet & nice to talk to. Will definitely be back in the near future.

A few months back, I had gotten my first Brazilian by this one waxer (I can't remember her name, if I did I would've scheduled with her instead and I wouldn't be writing this), and she was great. She was quick but the pain was tolerable, she was understanding, and overall I had a comfortable and amazing experience. After my visit with her, I fell inconsistent with my waxes and went in today for my first Brazilian in a while. Since I couldn't remember my previous waxers name, I booked with Monique, and it was nothing like my first experience. I laid on the bed and we immediately began the service. Anyone who has gotten a Brazilian before knows it is definitely NOT the most pleasant experience, but today hurt so bad I was crying. I had told her beforehand that I haven't been waxed in so long I was practically a first-timer. She asked me a few times if I wanted to end the wax early, which was a nice offer, but what was I going to do, leave with a half waxed part of my body while still paying full price in the end? I had already made it as far as I did, and pushed through it for my moneys worth. She was going WAY too fast and I was in excruciating pain. I asked her a few times if she could slow down a little bit or if I could at least take a quick breather. She replied that since she had customers after me that I "can't take too long and would need to make it quick" ?? All I needed was a minute. The experience felt extremely rushed and, in my opinion, a service such as a Brazilian where you're dealing with such delicate parts of the body, should not be rushed. We got done with the wax, I paid, and after I came home I realized I still have gross patches of unwanted hair down there. I don't recommend booking Monique for a Brazilian. :( UPDATE: The salon called me yesterday and offered a complimentary touch up with Crystal today, and my experience was amazing! She was friendly, super cool, informative, and gave me plenty of helpful aftercare tips. Most importantly, she got rid of all the leftover hair from my previous appointment thoroughly and efficiently without making me feel rushed. Turns out I had WAY more hair down there than I realized. It was so bad that Crystal almost saved a piece of wax to show her boss because of how much hair was missed during my appointment from a few days ago. She was just as surprised and disappointed as I was. Crystal is that girl! She completely turned my experience around, and I'll definitely be booking with her from here on out! :)

And I mean FLAW-LESS. You can tell she really studies her techniques, and she comes up with new additions to her services. She stays educated and educates others too with her classes. She does lashes, eyebrow microshading, waxing everywhere (because others don't), and please correct me if I'm wrong but skin lightening too. She was my first pubic waxing experience. I was mortified before coming, but I easily relaxed when I met her. She has this sense of peace about her and it jumps on you. She's confident and can walk the walk with her talk. I've been waxed by others before for my eyebrows, but they take too much off that makes me not recognize myself, and my face is really itchy afterwards. After an appointment with her, I was so smooth down there. When I tell you I was itch and bump-free! I was so happy! I miss her. I need to come back. I was broke as a joke for a second, but I'm back on my feet again. I need my lashes and allathat done. Nothing but good vibes.
