Kevin is the best! I recommend this salon they have a wide variety of colors to choose from too! :)

I saw Chau for a gel acrylic manicure and she was great. She gave me exactly the manicure I wanted from a pic I showed her. She knew what she was doing and was very professional and gentle with my hands. I also spoke with Fred the owner and some other techs as well and everyone there was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come again to get my nails done! read more

Chau and Number 1 (sorry can't remember his name) are the best nail techs! The place is clean and reasonable price.

I just want to highly recommend Miss Chau if you would like to get an Ombre Set. I got my first set with her and it came out super amazing! Besides she's so friendly and she takes her time in doing her work. Again, I highly recommend Miss Chau. read more

I had an appointment with Tammy at 11 but when I got there she hadn't arrived. Another tech started to soak off my nails while I waited which was about 20 minutes until Tammy arrived. I got SnS done and they usually last me about 3 weeks at my usual place so I was very nervous to try another location. So far it's been about a week and a half and it's going well! I will post an update once more time has passed. Tammy took her time and was very precise which I really like, She also does an extra step and puts a layer of gel polish and puts you under the UV light which I've never seen anyone do before. read more

This place is a prime example of what great customer service should be like. I usually get my nails done in North Carolina but decided to come to Top Nails since I was home visiting my parents in Maryland. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Fred's friendly smile that radiated around him. I came in without an appointment and was sat down immediately. Fred was very detailed with the cuticle cleanup yet remained gentle. He asked me multiple times if the length was good enough. When customers walked in while he was working on my nails, I thought as others do, that he would hurry through my nails. I was surprised at how he continued to take his time and still make friendly conversation. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because some of the gel on two fingers doesn't come to the base of my nail. However, it is a great gel mani with amazing customer service that made up for a small mistake. Pro tip, call in advanced to ask to be put down or to ask for how long the wait is. This is a popular place. TLDR: attentive customer service, great gel mani, call in advanced even for a walk in. read more

I cheated on my regular nail salon since my regular manicurist was out and this location was closest to my kids at the time. :-) Pro's: -Quiet location with plenty of parking -Anna was gentle and did a beautiful job on my gel manicure -Fair prices -TV's available for viewing pleasure Con's: -The place could use some updating -Massage chair was due for maintenance or something.. when I hit the massaging button it sounded like a rocket was about to blast off. Wasn't very relaxing I was impressed with the quality of work but wouldn't come here for relaxation or frills. Will return if I'm in a bind again! read more

Fine job done with manicure, especially cuticle trimming! They redid one nail that I bumped before leaving. Not too pleased with how short my nails were trimmed as they are right down to the nail bed. Very brief hand massage. Disappointed, as that's the best part of the experience usually! read more

The man at the front (not the owner)who did my nails did a rush job gel acrylic. He seemed irritated even when I told him he cut me and told him to ease up on the drill. He was too busy bending my fingers back all crazy and throwing my hands around. He also didn't know how to do a basic design so I didn't even get what I originally wanted. I will never be back or recommend this place to anyone. Damn nobody at these Germantown nail salons can do work without getting cut! read more

Listen.. err OPEN YOUR EYES BIGGER. If you want a thorough- I mean super thorough manicure and pedicure grooming, you need to ask for nail technician CHINH. I'm not about that quick swish-swoosh-pat-pat-byeeee life. Chinh really does some detailed work. Filing, scrubbing, deep pressure massaging, digging to the depths of the earth then bringing you back a diamond in the rough. Yup, it happens every time :) HELLUR I found my go-to and will share the knowledge if I'm confident it's worth my time and money *thumbs up* read more

I absolutely love Top Nails! I would recommend anyone in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area to check them out. Tommy is always my go to and he does amazing work. Tommy always takes his time and is really passionate about nails. He will even walk you through the whole nail process (if you like him to). Just ask him. He is quick as well. Gets you in and out. I also get pedicures done here and they always do a great job no matter who is doing mine. As always, I went today and was super pleased. They keep me poppin! read more

This was the worst experience of my life. I went in for an acrylic full set and my nail tech was very rude and dismissive. He made my cuticles bleed as well as made the side of my nails burn from the file/heat; it was poor execution. After that I realized that I did not like the color and asked for it to be changed. When that happened, they automatically charge me for a $10 fee and I refuse to pay it. They would not just let me change it even though we only take five minutes. I'm very disappointed and will never be coming back here ever again the service was terrible and I do not recommend to a friend or even an enemy. I repeat this was the worst experience of my life. Update: one of my nails came off after a day. read more

I've been getting my nails done here for the last 2 years - everyone that works here is extremely friendly and they take their time to get your nails exactly the way you want them. For starters, I always dread going to the nail salon because I have thick eyebrows and I know someone's gonna take one look at them and ask me if I'd like to get them waxed. I remember the first time I ever went to Top Nails because while Tommy was doing my nails, he looked up and told me I had really great eyebrows. Tommy is super great at flattering you while he works, and it's crazy how one comment can really stick with you. Tommy is my go-to for acrylics since he's really great with keeping your nails THIN and he's a pro at shaping them however you want (I've tried coffin, stiletto, almond - you name it). I've also gotten regular gel manicures and pedicures done by just about everyone else at Top Nails, and I've never once been disappointed. I DEFINITELY recommend! read more

I normally don't like to write bad reviews unless it's really, really bad, but I felt the need to write this based on the salon's lack of interest in fulfilling a customer's needs and more about making a couple extra bucks. I walked in for the first time based on reviews for a gel mani. I explained to the technician that I was trying to grow my natural nails out after having acrylics for many many years. I let her know that although my nails were thin and ridged from the acrylics, that the gel polish seemed to help with growth - I had gotten a gel mani at another salon prior to here and could see growth so wanted to continue. She suggested that during the mani she also use a product called SNS. She said my nails would get stronger with this product and take the rigidness away. I asked her if this would require her to use the electrical buffer since I know that this too thins your nails out and she said no. I reluctantly agreed based on her recommendation. She ended up using the electric buffer anyway after applying the SNS dip powder - there went whatever little layer of nail I had been trying to grow out. She never did a mani, just dipped the nails in SNS and buffed them out. The end result looked horrible. My nails look thick, the polish is messy and my nails although appear to look thicker from product, still look rigged and bumpy through the polish. I haven't taken it off because it caused me $45 unfortunately. Although the tech was nice, her focus was obviously on making an extra dollar rather than listening to her customer's needs. I now need to soak this SNS product off or have it buffed off which will set my whole nail growing process back. As a professional tech, I'm sure she knew this when suggesting this product, but just didn't care since it's more expensive than what I went in there for - a gel mani. Several times during the process, she also recommended eyebrows and pedi. Typical for salons in this area, but further supports my claim. Not the best sales approach for new customers or any customer that matter. Anyhoo, I won't be going back. My nails look like a 10 year old's and she knew it. So disappointed! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I am extremely happy with the services I received today! I usually get a full set every once in a while and I take them off after two weeks because I don't like how they look. My friend recommended this place so today I went in for a full set by tommy and he did an amazing job! He listened to what I wanted. I liked how he had different nail shapes at his station to pick from. Tommy gave me exactly what I wanted. He would ask me if the shape was okay, the length..etc. He let me know that he wanted me to be happy with my nails and I am! He took his time, he is very skillful and overall, I loved how my nails turned out! I have been recommending him to all my friends! He's amazing! I also got a pedicure and it was nice! Very relaxing and she did a great job! I will be a regular now! Thank you tommy! *i posted a picture of my nails read more

I am giving it two stars because a nail technician that was doing my nails left because he didn't know how to do designs and went home. The older female technician who took over to do my nail designs was VERY rude. She was rushing and being condescending. If someone is having a rude tone back I'm going to be rude back. That is the way I am because in America I believe we cannot be pushovers. Then, she lied to Tommy( the owner) that I was harassing her. I said me harassing an older lady? No way! Tommy just laughed it off because I was laughing at this whole going back and forth situation. I was chuckling and Tommy was too. I gave it two stars because Tommy the owner is always friendly and helpful. If it wasn't for him this place will be a star. After this whole bad customer service from one of the nail technicians, I will not be coming back. She was talking down on me because I'm way younger than her. Tommy is great, but I will no longer frequently do this business. This is the place by sakura! read more

Top Nails - Pedicure by Fred - Nail Salons Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

My experience was okay for a first time nothing special. My nail lady Tammy was pleasant and she did a fine job on my nails. That day I only need a fill in done on me with clear nail polish for work and the price reflected what i requested it cost about $20 plus tip. The interior of the shop could use a bit of updating in my opinion. It's has about 8 to 10 manicuring station and maybe 5 pedicure chairs available also, they have 2 or 3 waxing room where they conduct facial for about $50 per hour i was told by one of the employee. Plenty of parking available because they are located in a shopping center off of 355 and Middlebrook road. read more

They are terrible I got my nails done this morning for 71$ and my nails weren't even worth that. This man did my nails he sits at the first chair his name is Chnih. I told him I wanted coffin shaped and stiletto on my pinky and I was guiding him through. He seemed irritated so I was quiet and let him do what he was doing cuz he was licensed then he just butchered my nails. I called for a half refund or if someone can fix it and all the manager said was no he's sorry. Screw this place!! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I am new to Top Nails and saw Chau last week, who saved me from another salon's debacle earlier that evening. She was so easy to talk with, very reassuring and attentive to detail (I'm super-picky, so that made everything very relaxing), and did a super-great job! While the salon's atmosphere and design is very basic and plain, the way my nails came out was spectacular and I couldn't be happier. She left me with one of the best gel fills/gel polish changes and designs I've had in ages. I'm so happy I found them and will be back every two weeks! Thanks to Chau and Top Nails for a wonderful experience and nails that I love and that got immediate compliments!! read more

From bear claws to popsicle toes. The pedicure (trimming, cuticles, cutting nails, etc) was great, but the exfoliation/pumicing was short of two minutes on each foot. If you've got calloused feet like you just walked to Bethlehem, well, you better Babyfoot before you get a pedicure. The manicure wasn't as good. While I shudder at the micro aggressions people wrote about nail technicians speaking their first language (shame on you), I will say that there was a language barrier conveying what I wanted: a slight trim of nails but keeping most of the length. What I got was a gentle filing on all of them, when some of them should have been clipped shorter. I asked for only clear polish and there were faint streaks of my former nail polish left. Leg and hand massages were stellar. This was a decent, affordable shop. read more

I have been getting my nails done for 5 years (acrylics mostly) and was extremely disappointed with Top Nails. I just moved back to Germantown after getting a certain design on my nails for the past 2 years. I approached the owners one night and showed them my nails, asking if I came in could they do that design. They said yes of course, so I came in to get the current design taken off, a fill, and then the same design. It is an airbrush design in an argyle pattern. Turns out they do not even use their airbrush machine anymore.. so they talked me into getting a hand design, which was a LOT extra for a design on each nail so I opted to get a design on one finger of each hand. I got the gel nails as well. I left, feeling okay about the new look, still sad that they couldnt do what they had originally said, but content. I did nothing unusual that night. Throughout the night, the gel nails were smudging off and and peeling off; they never dried. They looked disasterous and I was annoyed that I had got them done before going out only to look gross. My manager at work asked me what was going on with my nails and let me go on my break to drive 20 minutes back to ask them for a refund and to just remove the polish so I could leave. The guy at first told me he doesnt give refunds and offered me 7$ to cover the paint... (I paid $40 plus my time for all this!) and I told him that wasn't good. He offered for me to come the next morning (I couldn't and I lived so far away I just wanted my money back). He at first tried to blame me, asking what I had done the night before to mess them up. Finally after sitting there for like 45 minutes, they got the polish off, concluded it never dried because they applied the gel wrong, and I left, with blank nails and no refund. I WILL NOT BE BACK. Clearly they don't value their customer's time or money, or know how to apply gel polish. :( read more

Top Nails - The lady suggested that I get a gel manicure. Apparently it makes your nails much stronger!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

This shop has been around since the 1990's. It's no secret why when you see the results. Don't let the simplicity of the decorations, or lack of, fool you. I have never had such care, patience, and detail spent on me anywhere else. There was a large enough staff that I could walk in on a Friday late afternoon and get seem right away. Tommy (gel nails) and Tammy (brows and lashes) were both very detail oriented and took their time to make sure everything was perfect. Best eyebrow wax ever. There was no pressure and I was encouraged to take my time picking a nail color. All the colors are painted on templates so you can hold them up to your nail to see what it will look like after it's dry. You tell them the color you want and they bring it to you. The manager, Fred, was very nice and checked on the customers individually and introduced himself. I will be back and recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Although my nails came out well the service was lacking. There was 4 people working and only two people in the shop but I had to wait for my person (Ann) to finish her phone call on her cell phone. This took about 15 min. Then I had three fingers that had a little gel left on so they needed to soak it off. I started soaking my other hand in the water (which was freezing) while she wrapped my three fingers on my other hand to take off the gel. She then got up again for another 10min before returning. When she did return a woman walked in who I assume is a consistent customer because she wanted Ann to wax her eyebrows. The woman said she would come back when she was done with me but Ann said she would do her then. So she did and left me to sit again for another 10 min or so. Finally she starts working on my nails and keeps mentioning how short my nails are, as if it is was an inconvenience to her. Finally starting the gel she put the top coat and I put it under the light, two times. My mom had texted me and I used that hand that I just put under the light to text her back (it was a quick yes answer). Ann then said "oh my god" and instructed me "not to use my phone" because with gel I could mess them up. I have been getting gel manicures for years and never once has a employee told me not to use my phone. On top of all of this another employee was on her for phone speaking loudly for a solid 30min. Once I was done Ann told me that I could "use my phone now." My nails came out pretty nice but it wasn't worth the wait, the attitude about using my OWN phone, the constant loud chatter between employees across the shop, and personal phone calls being made on their cell phones. read more
