Loved this place! Got a manicure with Wendy and it was perfect. I asked for designs and she did exactly what I envisioned. Super reasonable price too. $50 total for gel nails with designs and a 10 min massage

I was surprised to see so many bad reviews when I checked personally it was one of my best nail salon experiences!- although I didn’t get gel or acrylic since my nails are very pretty sensitive. I went on recommendation of a family member who is a regular. The prices are comfortable and extremely reasonable. I got a regular mani/pedi and 20 min massage it was about $60. The service was amazing, they were very attentive and kind. For sure my favorite pedicure experience the lady was very attentive to detail, wasn’t rushed but didn’t take too long, and I had an ingrown toenail told her to cut it all out and she managed to do so without making me hurt at all. I felt so so much relief. Relaxing environment. I loved the massage, the lotion left a nice feeling on my skin, not oily, didn’t get any in my hair, and she got rid of my back pains. Will def be going back!!

Absolutely obsessed with this nail salon! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a calming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind. The space is spotless, the vibe is chic, and the attention to detail is unmatched. Every technician is incredibly skilled, but it’s the consistency and care that truly sets them apart. My nails have never looked better—flawless every time! Whether you’re going for a simple mani or intricate nail art, they always deliver perfection. Truly the best in the game

I don’t ever leave reviews but this place is review worthy!!!!! This was my first time at Top A and I’m honestly so glad I gave it a try. I had Eva and she was absolutely AMAZING. She was super detailed and really took her time to make sure everything was perfect. I got a UV gel fill-in, which I’ve been struggling to find someone in the city who actually does well. After bouncing around from place to place for over 6 months, I finally feel like I’ve found a spot I can trust. My nails look clean, natural, and exactly how I wanted them. Definitely worth the visit. I’ll be back for sure!!!!

Can only speak to the gel manicure removal services but they did an excellent job for $10– including filing my nails after the removal and moisturizing my hands, in addition to putting a top coat of gel polish on a toenail of my pedicure that had cracked (which I had gotten done elsewhere and was keeping on longer than my manicure). People were very friendly and efficient!
