Tammy is amazing!!! She is the only person I trust to do my eyebrows. She’s also amazing at doing coffin or any acrylic nail

Just came in with my friend for some girl time to get mani– pedis. It is a Saturday and we walked in around 12 and asked for pedicures, once seated we decided to also get manicures and they accommodated us with, no problem. Pedicure was lovely and looked great! My manicure (I got gellish) did not quite match the color I had picked out when I was done and pointed it out to one of the manicurist– she said it is because it needed 3 coats not 2, so she quickly sat me back down and fixed the problem. I was really happy that there was no arguments and the problem was fixed with out having to even ask! Love my nails– ready for summer! Will def make this my regular nail spot!

I really wanted to like this place. Came in for a fill & gel. Paid $ 30. Coming from LA and Sacramento, I’m used to paying $ 15 tops. But it’s Monterey, so I get it. I got my nails done Tuesday after one week they were chipped and dirty. This is the worst quality. Which is sad because it’s such a cute place and great service. I’m sure they have other great services, but this was pretty bad.

They do a great manicures. Steven is the best gel manicure technician I have ever been to. My gel nails look beautiful every time and they last a long time. At three weeks there are still no chips. The salon is very clean. Highly recommend!

Had to come back 3 times this month to get my nails fixed. Now I will never go back. The gel product they use is VERY cheap. After 1 week, the gel begins to lift from the back or from the tip. I am a hairdresser and I use gloves when working with color and some got on my nails and it stained them. Gel should be strong enough to have anything on the nail rinse off. Such a bummer. Stars for Tammy and Tina. They are so talented but the salon has very low quality gel. Sorry but I have to be honest in my reviews. I would not recommend coming here.

Tammy is wonderful. The best pedicure around for the money. It’s worth the hassle of parking on Lighthouse. Sahara Tan is located across the street so it’s very convenient.

Tammy does an amazing job! I’m very particular and so is she! I’ve been to her twice now for my acrylics and this time got a pedicure too! Everything turned out great! The salon is spacious and clean. Everyone is always so nice! Today my daughter came with me and is getting her acrylics done as well. This will most likely be our new nail shop:)

I started going to Top Nails when my boyfriend gave me a gift certificate for a special mani/​pedi. I have now been here three times. Kim, Tammy, and Tina have all done wonderful work. I have never had to wait too long when I just drop in, and everyone has been very pleasant.

Showed up at 610 and they said they couldn’t take me because they close at 7 … Okay if you don’t want money or my business that’s cool last time I came here down $ 100 I spend that just about every 2 weeks for a good mani pedi for me and a pedi for my partner
I called another nail spa in pacific grove who was happy to work on me and toon 2 hours it was the best mani pedi of my life I will keep going back there and sending my business to TINAS NAILS instead it was almost 8:30 by the time she finished my nails and they close at 7pm to great service
It’s just a shame when someone tells you to go here and go to a particular person and they aren’t willing to give you service. People always think I don’t have money whatever

Was able to be seen right away for eyebrow wax and callus treatment. Great job done!

Tammy is a fantastic nail artist! I am always happy with my nails after leaving the salon.
I came in the night before my Alice in Wonderland themed bridal shower with a request that combined several different Pinterest designs. Tammy executed the design beautifully and even worked well past closing to finish up!
Tammy, thank you so much for giving me the nails that I wanted… at the last minute! You rock!

I really like coming to this place, I’ve been driving from Salinas for almost two years bc it’s clean, they are nice, & always get my full set done exactly how I like it. I recommend Hai to do any manicure. His 14 years of experience show in his work. I recommend asking him to do your manicure exactly how you like it, he’s definitely detailed in his work.

This place deserves an A+ for cleanliness, C for overall work/​service. I came in for an acrylic full set. My nails were too squared and sharp, Hai did a terrible job at filing them evenly, in fact the middle fingernail is crooked. They charged me $ 35 because he did a «pink & white» which is basically the baby pink powder (not very different from the clear one) and white acrylic powder on the tip — rip off! He said this looked «more professional», looking at my nails now, i really wish i would have just asked for the white tips, the lines are uneven. I won’t be coming back here. If this location has any connection to the one in Seaside, steer clear! A customer walked in to have 1 nail fixed (i guess the gel color chipped off from a few days ago). Perhaps their pedis are better. I won’t take that chance, and i will most definitely not recommend this to anyone.

I was in town for a day and want to get my nail done. 2 block away from my hotel.
When I got in… I don’t feel welcome and the person talk to me like I’m robot.
No personality shown or anything positive vibe.
Don’t have a lot brand nail color. I got opi. The color wasn’t so bad. My nail was good. But not perfect
It’s a good nail salon in the town but not the best.

The owner Hai is one of the best nail techs I have ever seen! I was in the area for my wedding and just jumped on Unilocal and found this salon. By mistake my main guy switched me to Hai for my acrylic nails with french and gel on top because he said Hai is the best — and boy was he! They stayed on for almost three weeks and then started lifting on my honeymoon but I was beyond pleased! I wish I could go down there every two weeks for him to do my nails!!!

The guy who did my nails was named ‘Hi’. He was literally the best manicurist who has ever done my nails. I always love my French acrylic square and he did them perfectly. No jagged sides, he did my nails with quality and experience. He has been doing nails since the early 2000’s so he’s a perfectionist with his experience in nails. I am not from Monterey but was visiting from the East Bay. If I had time I would seriously consider driving there in the future just to get a fill. Their tools were also clean and new so NO future infections could happen. Very sanitary and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!

Great nail salon. Reminds me of the smaller bustling places in San Francisco when I used to live there. The people are very friendly and the place is clean.
Neat part of the pedicure was the scrub – never had that before with the orange course lotion that really helped exfoliate my calves and feet. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, she puts a hot towel on my feet. Killer.
Called ahead for an appointment but had time on my hands so showed up ½ hour earlier, and they were able to take me.
Unfortunately, my wife got the bum end of the bargain. Her manicurist was completely checked out and preoccupied. She phoned it in. My wife’s cuticles weren’t totally trimmed and her paint job was shoddy.
So, five stars for me, and one star for her. We round up: a «3».

It was quick to make an appointment and they were very responsive on their webpage. I came here for a french manicure in the afternoon on a week day and they weren’t crowded at all they have a backlot, but it’s easier to park on the street. It’s also tricky because you can’t always turn certain ways on lighthouse so you have to look at a map to see the best approach.
I got an elderly lady who was fairly accurate but a bit slow. It took at least 45 minutes to get my nails done. I didn’t have a soak or hand massage and I didn’t have old polish to remove. It was just a simple french tip. It lasted for a couple days. When I got home, I put an extra top coat on it to protect it from chipping. Not bad, and very reasonably priced but a little slow of you just want to stop in for a quick polish.

I’m giving this place 3 stars because I told the owner I wanted 2 pedi and one mani for my daughter and I. The girl who did my pedi was amazing and the women who did my daughters clearly didn’t get what the owner told her. She proceeds to paint my daughter’s nails with out giving her a mani on top of trying to put a design on her nails and color that she did not want.
As I’m asking the women who is attending to my daughter did she give her a mani a man comes over and has the nerve to ask «well did you say you wanted her to get a mani as soon as you walked in?» I said yes I did he proceed to apologies for the miss understanding.
I don’t think that’s good business. Regardless if a customer changes their mind you should accommodate their request not say oh well did you ask.
