Nikki and the team here are all amazing. Salon is simple and clean, nothing fancy but you can't find better nails in Ann Arbor.

They encourage reservations but don't necessarily honor them. Be prepared to wait 20 to 30 minutes even with a reservation. Also, the tools are VERY old. The buffer was falling apart and it looked like it had been used on so many other people. I only have a blurry photo of it but I just hope it was sanitized. For a $26 manicure, I'd expect cleaner tools. Other than that, the technician who did my manicure did a nice job. read more

Nikki gave be the best gel manicure I've ever had!! What a clean, professional business. I wish I could move them to Colorado!

My friend and I wanted last minute manicures so we called Tropical Nails & Spa to see if they accepted walk ins and they did. We got there and they got us both started right away. It is not always guaranteed that you will get in right away without an appointment, but it was slower so we were able to get started right away. It was a very fast gel manicure but done so well. The nail artist was very detail oriented and made sure no nail polish was on my skin. They had severrral colors to choose from! The space felt clean and sanitary. There is a large parking lot and it is free to park. The workers were all so very kind. The calm music was very relaxing. There is also a TV to watch. I would go here again! Note, if you pay with a card there is a $1 fee. read more

I've been going to this Salon for a few years. I get a dipping powder mani, with nail art. A pedicure in the summer. I've had several different manicurist. Each were professional and did a good job. I now request Kim for pedicures. She does a great job. I request Niki or Ken for Manicures. Their manis are perfect and nail art is amazing. The Salon is always welcoming, clean & relaxing. read more

Super fast, Excellent job! I was looking for a nail shop to go to in the Ann Arbor area and came across this little gem. Tucked away in a small strip center just steps from Kroger. Upon entering, I was greeted by a nail technician that was very polite. Because I didn't have an appointment, I ended up waiting 30-minutes before I was seen - it was worth the wait. Nikki worked on my nails and she did an amazing job! Super fast, very detailed, and very professional. I was in and out within 30-minutes. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I've been here twice and they have done a really nice job! The best thing is they are open on Sundays and generally have same day appointments. Both times I've gotten a dip manicure and have been happy. read more

The worse mani-pedi ever. They are so lazy and rushed through my daughter's services and it looked like she didn't get anything done. They chipped in one day. read more

Nikki has excellent customer service and does a great job! Small shop and takes appointments.

I had a nice time I enjoyed the music and tv choice- it made the experience way more relaxing Usually mail places put on the news or an HGTV show, but they played bird songs and spa music Professional service The building itself seems dated with stains on ceilings tiles and such I would go again off in the area read more

I appreciate the text reminders for appointments. The staff are accommodating and kind and do a great job. The spa is clean and appears well kept read more

Nail appointments started 20 and 30 minutes past scheduled time and were rushed. Nails look great but wasn't a relaxing treat myself sort of experience. read more

Quiet, calm, professional nail salon. Everyone is very nice. Relaxing and convenient place.

I was a walk in today after five years without a professional manicure! I received a gentle and beautiful manicure. It was a relaxing experience and I will return for mani-pedi soon. read more

I've been here three times now and each time I've had a great experience! I've gotten a regular pedicure and gel manicures, and I found the place to be clean & quiet. I also liked the plants they have around the space! It's easy to miss without signage though. read more

The best gel set I've gotten in over a year. I have been to many salons in the past two years. This fill was the best. And when I couldn't get back for my next fill on my normal schedule and I went another two weeks past, they still held up. No pulling or splitting from my original nail. Great work. A quiet place with excellent work . Just as happy with this fill as the first time read more

Beautiful work! Called today and was able to get a same day appointment. Staff was professional. Spa was very clean. Couldn't be more satisfied with the precision of the mani/pedi. Thank you! read more

I had been going to the same nail salon for a number of years but after discovering Tropical Nails and Spa I have a new "home". Nikki does an excellent job. My polish stays on for weeks. I don't ever feel like I'm rushed through there. It feels like a spa day when I get a manicure and pedicure. Their prices are reasonable as well. I recommend Tropical Nails to anyone that wants quality and good service for a good price. read more

Tropical Nails and Spa does not disappoint! Sheetal gives the best pedicures I've ever experienced! She's thorough and pays attention to detail! Her massages are to die for and are certainly worth the price, and she never rushes the experience! She also slays my eyebrows every single time! Nikki is amazing and the only one that touches these finger nails! Make an appointment today; you won't regret it! read more

Under new ownership and previously Tees--I came as a walk in, got a great pedicure and dip manicure. Very clean, professional. Pricing on par with other salons in the area. Will definitely come back! Relatively small salon so appointments probably a good idea but they easily accommodated my walk in on a Tuesday morning. read more

I love how nice everyone is here and how professional!! There's never a long wait time, walking in or when I've made an appointment. Nikki does my nails and she's so patient with me when I've dreamed up something different for my own nails. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I get acrylics because it holds up while I'm working and they always look beautiful and shaped soooo well to compliment my hands and fingers (tiny nail beds). read more

I wasn't expecting it, but when I called early afternoon to schedule an appointment, they were able to get in me towards the end of their day. Staff was pleasant and efficient. Quite and relaxing place. I got a pedicure and a manicure. Didn't get their names. The pedicure was excellent. Just what I needed. I'm retired and I haven't kept up with a lot of beauty routines. It's been a few years since I've had either a mani or a pedi. My toenails were in terrible shape and now they look almost normal. My hands were in much better shape to start with. The massage function on the pedicure chairs can be set for super aggressive. Which I like. Really enjoyed that. There are two minor observations that I made that account for a 4 instead of a 5 star rating: 1) They did not use cuticle oil as the final step of either procedure. I'm used to that being done. 2) During the manicure, the man didn't clean UNDER my nails. They did during the pedi. I found some residual crud underneath my nails on the way home. Probably from filing the nails, but it should have been taken care of. Their sanitary procedures are excellent. Instruments packaged in sterile envelope and appear to have been autoclaved. Disposables opened new and discarded at the end. Everyone was wearing a mask (including me). I'm OLD (73) and immunosuppressed, so these things are important to me. I'm also a clinical microbiologist, so I know all about the importance of sanitary procedures and masking. Overall, a positive experience. I will likely return. read more

Easy to book. Exceptionally nice. Best pedicure. Took their time. Awesome shades to choose from. Highly recommend

This is the nicest pedicure I've had--which, admittedly, is only my third. But the space is nice and clean. The staff are vaccinated and masked. Getting an appointment was easy. I'll certainly be coming back. Thanks tropical nails! read more

Male staff rude, snapped at me when I asked about another service -was uncomfortable being there and left without even getting polish or cuticle oil (just had gel polish removed from nails) -I just wanted to leave asap -otherwise service itself was fine read more

I have not previously had a pedicure and today I visited this incredible Spa. My feet have nor looked or felt this good in years. I highly recommend Tropical Spa, it is immaculately clean, organized and so calming. The beautiful, scented products really felt great on my feet and enhanced my wellbeing. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! read more

Visiting family and luckily found this sweet little nail spa. Very clean, easy booking. So relaxing with spa like music and beautiful visuals on the TVs . I did the hot stone pedicure and it was the best! one of the most luxe spa treatments I've ever had and I live in Las Vegas don't know exactly how to spell her name but " Sooti " maybe Sheetal ? She was amazing!! So kind and attentive and my nails are the best! Plus they have super easy parking right next to a great market . Love it! GO read more

I wanted to like this shop. I have been here occasionally under the prior ownerships. The owner did my nails. I found him to be unfriendly and disengaged. His own hands were in great need of a manicure; jagged, unfiled, and even dirt under the nail tops. He cut my cuticle and even though we both saw it bleeding, he never said a word and did not offer antiseptic for it. He did not offer a dryer or fan and did not say anything but got up and walked away to the back. He met me up front to get my payment. Needless to say, I will not be returning. read more
