“I tried Lovely Nails for the first time and they did an exceptional job! I got a gel fill, gel pedicure, and my eyebrows done. They took their time with every single thing and were truly perfectionists. They had a lot of colors to choose from, were so friendly, and the prices were really good (my total was $62). I have found my new nail place!! So excited to keep coming back. Highly recommend.“

“This place is so nice. I was looking to have my nails done and the owner welcoming in and my nails are just so pretty and the color is so cute...I am coming back and I will request an appointment for my daughter...“

“Reasonably priced ($45 for a regular mani pedi), lots of parking, open on Saturdays, and great customer service. I appreciate that the place is well ventilated and doesn't smell of chemicals. While they take walk ins, I recommend calling ahead. On occasion they book up and aren't able to take walk ins. Credit cards are accepted.“

“I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done today for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me.

Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view.

As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music.

They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.“

“Got a pedicure with acrylic big toe , full set medium length nails with gel for both and only paid $90 + $10 tip . These are beautiful , the customer service is amazing. Definitely go here all the time and always have a great experience. Thank you !“

“Stylist: Myla did the best Brazilian wax that I ever had!! seriously
I originally had an online appointment for European wax center but when I got there, the place was closed. I called and they couldn’t do the appointment and when I asked about the following day they said no. They just called this morning to tell me that they were going to have to cancel my appointment for today (it was last Friday, not today)!
I looked over and saw Top Nails. on the window they advertised waxing services. What the heck! I walked in and got a French pedicure, which was perfect ?? then Myla took me to a private room and waxed my eyebrows and did the most perfect Brazilian ever. She had her own technique and I was happy that she did it her way. A week out and I didn’t have one ingrown hair. I had 3 services for under $100 w/out tip
Really happy and I’ll definitely go back especially if I want another wax! Thanks to Myla and to the woman that did a beautiful French pedicure on me!“
