Top Show Nails & Spa

This place is terrible. The lady was digging into my toenails and I am diabetic not only is that not safe but it hurt. She was so light with the massaging the lotion. The décor inside is so ugly and there was no fans or air circulation. Not only that but the guys that work there had baseball on the tv. Wth? It was such the opposite of relaxing. Waste of money. Will be going somewhere else next time.

Meh. Haven’t been impressed with their customer service lately. And that’s the one important thing about nail salons to keep people coming back; consistent kind service. I will go elsewhere.

I took my daughter and her friends here and they all had something negative to say. «Mommy the lady kept cutting me on purpose.» One said that the guy made fun of her for picking green; that he said it looks like fungus is now on her nail. And another one of the girls said the old big lady made fun of her pinky finger. NOT a way to treat kids or anyone. Boo on you.

Let me preface this by saying I’m super skeptical about getting my nails done anywhere, but I was sick of my chubby, colorless nubs and needed someone to love on them ASAP! I was actually looking for a place with a higher Unilocal rating in the area and hastily strolled in here.
It wasn’t until I was halfway through my services (full set and pedi) that I realized I had come to the wrong place… But with odds in my favor, it was definitely the right place!
Lee did my full set of «coffin» nails (I’m not a trendy gal but since I was going on vacay, I wanted something different). She not only did an amazing job on my nails, but was the most friendly and funny nail tech that I’ve ever come in contact with. The gal who did my pedi (didn’t get her name) gave a great massage, was thorough, and quick.
All in all, I will definitely recommend this place to friends and my own clients, and will be returning regularly!
Thanks Lee!!! You rock!

by far not cheap enough for the terrible service and bad job they do! the person doing my manicure was rude, looked about as displeased if not disgusted as a 3 year old forced to eat broccoli throughout the process, only barked an occasional command. But I didn’t mind much until I saw the final result which was really really bad.
Also, she made me pay before applying the polish and double checked for the tip I left (which at 20% — 3 $ I still found overly generous for the treatment I got) before getting back to work … don’t even want to imagine the job I would have got, had I not left a tip — which I was already tempted to do.
The guy greeting me at first was also rather rude and totally rushed me into the selection of the polish after I told him I only wanted regular (i.e. cheap) polish and not a gel one… overall not a place that will see me again!

This is the second time that I have been to this location. The first time I had a pleasant experience. This time I came on a Sunday afternoon and a man did my pedicure, I kid you not and gave me less than a 90 second message. He was in a race to get through my pedicure. When I addressed the owner he said OK and shook his head. I guess this place is a mixed bag depending on who you happen to get. If you are coming for a quick in and out you won’t be disappointed. If you are looking for the extras that usually come with the spa pedicure you pay for you will leave feeling short changed.

i’ve been with the salon for a while, so far everything is good except Christine no longer works there :(
I witnessed a whole story on Sat afternoon ⁵⁄₃₀ why s. o was kicked out of salon. Knowing the reason make me think salon make a right decision. here is a brief.
one lady brought a shopping cart to the salon and asked for a mani. First, she yelled why no body help her with her stuffs. Owner said she can leave everything in the cart next to her. However, she wanted to have her stuffs around her seat. Larry came and helped her remove stuffs from the cart and put them around her. Second, she gave that technician hard time by demand her to do thing then refuse it. She said: cut my nail first then soak it then no cut just file them (I refer the opposite way, my nail soft so cutting easy and no pain); push my cuticle back only no cut, then don’t push but cut cuticle (I wonder what she wants?) She stopped technician in middle way so she could turn around and talk. Oh men, that girl is very patient to her. Third, she was talking and yelling LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD like every body is deaf. I don’t wanna be rude, but she’s so annoy.
Thank Larry for letting her go (FYI, not only me but my friends agree so)
P/​s: Thank you Lena for such a great pedicure. No more ingrown nail. pretty shoes, here I come :)))

New management new workers they suck! When in today and 4 lady’s where there none of them could do powder only nails overall been a loyal customers for awhile ever since Larry the new owner took over they suck!

If I could give it NO stars I would! I went in on 05/​01/​2015 to get my eyebrows waxed like I usually would. I was asked to wait 5mins which I did since I wasn’t in a hurry. After 5 mins the lady asked me to go to the wax room, all was fine until she returned with someone else to watch her wax. I was a bit uncomfortable but I figured she was just showing her how to do it. My eyebrow wax went fine and then to my surprise she started putting wax on my upper lip without even asking me if I wanted it. After I payed and left the corner of my lip was in soo much pain. Later on when I got home I looked in the mirror and noticed that she had BURNED my skin with the wax! Needless to say that I WILL NOT be going back to that salon. It’s a shame because with the other owners everything was always so good.

If you read my earlier reviews of this salon, I have nothing but praise for the owner/​management. I have been a loyal customer at this salon for years & the previous owners /​management have provided great customer service. Why the sudden drastic difference in stars?
This salon underwent a change in ownership and the new owners (Larry & his wife) are rude & hold grudges when long standing customers express concern and dissatisfaction with the quality of service proceeded.
I visited this salon on 02÷20÷15 when the change of ownership became effective. At the time, I needed to get my eyebrows done but the only person available was one of the owners (the wife). She brought me into the room & had me lay down on the facial chair. What I noticed is that she did not ask me any questions. As her first time doing my eyebrows, she should ask what i preferred – cleaning or shaping or a little of both. Let’s just say that it was not a positive experience for my eyebrows. She went to talk to the «owner» (the husband) who came to the door and asked briskly, «What’s going on?» One of the other employees who knew me told him that I was not happy with my eyebrows that his wife had just done for me & that I wanted them to be fixed (by someone else if she couldn’t do it). Another employee who also knew me and had done my eyebrows before came over and asked me if I was ok. I said that I was not happy & that my eyebrows were unevenly done since I was not asked what needed to be done. The owner’s wife basically said that she didn’t know how to fix my eyebrow while the employee asked if I would like her to fix them & I said yes, that’s fine. Long story short, she was able to fix my eyebrows so that the unevenness was not so obvious. Although I offered to pay since the eyebrows were fixed, I was not charged for the service.
I had returned to the salon several times since that incident and had my nails and pedicures done but never seen the owners when I was there.
Imagine my surprise when I walked into the salon and the employees greeted me cheerfully and asked what I needed & the owner (the husband) walks towards me and tells me that I’m not welcome in the salon anymore & to go to a different salon to get my nails done. He then points to a newly posted sign & (sarcastically) asked if I can read. The sign states that they (store owners /​management) have the right to refuse service to anyone. As he’s saying this he is also gesturing with one hand to usher me out of the salon. Obviously, he is still holding a grudge regarding the eyebrow situation and taking it as a personal matter that I didn’t like how his wife did my eyebrows rather than a professional matter that a customer was unhappy with the service provided and ended the situation to be fixed.
I am still amazed and in disbelief at the lack of customer service displayed by the new owners.
Some of the employees stayed on after the change in ownership & I honestly feel sorry that they will be working under these conditions.
Good luck to any customers who want to express any concerns or complaints. These new owners are not about customer service and making the customer happy.
Watch out because you may be banned from the salon!

Review on facial and waxing: this is my go to spot for a nice, quick relaxing wax for a reasonable price. I typically spend 25 dollars for a FULL FACE wax.
I don’t spend too much time waiting to be seen; the ladies all know how to wax so I get someone new every other time. Each lady is gentle, gives me a great eye brow shape, and hardly leaves hair behind. Recommend to all my friends.

I and my mother came to Top Show Nails & Spa. We organized to sit together, with a cheap service. The staff helped us to do manicure together and anything together. We didn’t must wait. Top Show Nails & Spa had TV and anything else for relaxed. The staff talked with us for my house, my families,. Anything I said, they was polite to said their opinion without pretending. They were awesome people from beginning. The Top Show Nails & Spa’s service was excellent. Manicure and pedicure were different from other nail salon due to their durability. My manicure lasted 1 month: amazing result. This salon had a cheap price for great service. Large space with a lot of green trees. There were a lot of spaces for parking. I have to tell all my friends about a best salon in Fullerton.

I’ve been getting my nails done at top show nails for several months and the service and friendliness is wonderful !

OMG… STAY AWAY… they don’t know what they are doing~
I never ever make this mistake again… the worker smoke outside right before he has done on my nail… meanwhile he was rude… he doesn’t know how to do Gel… which suppose to leave some space from the bottom … never ever go there again!

GOT NAIL FUNGUS STAY AWAY!!!
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST NAIL SALON I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!
First off, this location is next to my gym and always busy, I figured they were GREAT! so I didn’t look at their Unilocal reviews… GEEZ was that my bad! I usually go to another salon but was short on time so I made an appt to this place (for a full set and French tip), go there 10 mins early… they’re not ready, ok cool since i’m early. 5 mins after my appt time. still not ready, ok I get it you guys are busy, so its ok. 15mins after my appt… STILL not ready! and I have a dinner to be at in 2hours. I complain, they say «ok ok 5 more mins»…10 mins later (which is now 25mins after my appt time) STILL not ready. So I get up and say GOODBYE and start to walk out. Some little man comes running after me and says «so so sorry, I will take you now» OK so I sit down… but the guy is kind of hurting me while he’s using the tool. any way OK so about 40 min later it comes time to «paint the French tip on» which I had stated at the beginning” but the man doesn’t think it’s a good idea to do French tip, kept insisting for me to choose a color, after hesitation I finally decide on a solid color over the whole nail… OH BOY WAS THAT MY BAD!!!
My nails hurt for about 3 days later, and I’ve been getting acrylics for 13 years now. Well about 2 weeks later I start to feel irritation under the nails so I immediately go to my normal salon and sure enough once they get the NAIL COLOR off we notice NAIL FUNGUS starting on a few of the nails. No wonder the guy kept insisting I get a solid nail color over the whole nail instead of just a french tip.
NEVER in my 13+ years of getting acrylics have I ever had this happen!!! I was MORTIFIED and DISGUSTED! I’m not sure what products this place uses or how often they clean their tools/​brushes but I would STAY AWAY!!! I wish I would have taken a photo of the fungus and posted it to this review. It was FREAKING disgusting. My normal nail lady felt so bad for me. Poor Theresa at Nailicious Spa in Orange. I will NEVER cheat on her again!!!

STAY AWAY! I have gone here a couple times because it’s so close to my house and each time I have gotten a gel manicure which is suppose to last at least 2 weeks. Within a few days the gel polish completely peeled off! Not to mention the ice cold water they use for mani and pedi. I asked to warm the water she turned it on for a few more seconds then turned it off because it was going to overflow… Really she shouldn’t couldn’t empty the water and feel it with warmer water!!? Needless to say I will not be returning I’ll spend the extra time and drive somewhere that will do a GREAT job.

I’ve been going here for years. The girls always do a great job! It’s definitely one of the only places that I trust with my nails. So many other places I’ve received poor service or had to endure an ingrown infected nasty situation, but not here. Super friendly too!

Been going for several years with no complaints. I thought I noticed them reusing UN-​sanitized tools so the next time i went I paid attention and to my horror I was correct. I told her to get new tools, so she got them from the bottom of her cart although I forgot to check if they looked shrink wrapped, this would mean they have been sanitized.
I now have TOE FUNGUS along with a friend of mine that goes here
Ladies, watch out for the tools!

Eyelash extension review — DO NOT COME HERE FOR LASHES!!! I got eyelash extensions done here yesterday and they were HORRIBLE!!! I came here on a whim because I wanted to pump up my lashes just a bit for my engagement shoot today… I can’t even begin to explain how bad they actually turned out…
I should have realized this woman didn’t know what she was doing early on when she first got primer all over my eyelid and INSIDE my eye, which burned like hell! In fact, the whole process was incredibly painful and felt like someone was taking pinchers to my lash line and eyelids. When she was finished with them, my eyelashes felt like one strip of HARD plastic!!! I had asked for a NATURAL look and I ended up looking like a crack whore! She not only gave me super unnatural lashes, she got a TON of glue on my lash line that changed the shape of my eye drastically and made it look like I was half asleep or on drugs. In addition, it hurt my eyes SOOOOOO BAD — having all my eyelashes fused together with glue… Every time I tried to blink was painful — I couldn’t touch that area at all without feeling like my eyelids were being yanked at!
I ended up getting these lashes removed at the Lash Lab the first thing this morning… I couldn’t stand them anymore because I woke up with swollen, red, burning eyes! The technician, Detrie (who was amazing beyond words) worked on my lashes for a hour trying to remove all the extensions and the glue — I was horrified to find out that the lady at Top Show put a ton of glue on my SKIN and chunks of glue on my lashes which was why I couldn’t blink — all my lashes had been completely glued together!!! This process of removing the lashes… It was one of the most painful experiences of my life! But, I’m so glad that they are off now — apparently the lashes they used were cheap and not meant for permanent extensions — they would have damaged and caused all my real lashes to fall out if I had not gone to remove them right away!
I ended up having to CANCEL my engagement shoot because my eyes were soooooo swollen from the extensions and they still sting and burn as I’m angrily typing this review… I can’t believe someone would do this to another person’s eyes! I went back after getting my lashed removed and confronted the lady about what she did to me — she never once acknowledged any fault on her part and pinned it back on me saying,“Honey, you’re just sensitive. I could already tell yesterday when you left.” WTF?! Sensitive??? If being in pain from having my eyelashes and eyelids superglued together, then YES, I guess I’m f-​ing «sensitive»! I am just so incredibly LIVID and upset over this experience and the fact that my real lashes got damaged in the process — HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!! I will NEVER go back there!!! If I could get this place shut down, I would!!!

I really hate giving places one star. I feel like a turd. However, this was hands down the WORST mani/​pedi I have ever had. Strangely, I came here because of the high star rating on Unilocal.I should have looked more closely at the reviews.
I just got a regular mani/​pedi and picked out one of their OPI nail polishes. From what I’ve read on here and from what I experienced, they seem to use cheap nail polish to fill up old OPI bottles. The nail polish looked cheap and didn’t last hardly at all. Strike 1.
The service was abrupt, unfriendly, and kind of rude. Most of the employees were sitting around on their iPhones playing Bejeweled and yelling at each other. In addition they were being quite harsh on my cuticles and such, and I had some tiny cuts afterwards on my fingers that weren’t even touching my nail line. Strike 2.
The job was sloppy and looked terrible (see my photo). There was nail polish all over my cuticles, the second coat visibly didn’t entirely cover the first coat, my nails were cut unevenly (and some were even jagged), and it started chipping within half an hour of my leaving the place (and all I was doing was driving). I would have left no tip, but they made me pay before they started painting my nails… which in retrospect may have been a sign. Strike 3.
Maybe it depends on who you get, but I had two different ladies (one for the manicure and one for the pedicure). The older lady was definitely the worst (did my manicure), but both jobs were sloppy. I do better work myself… I come to a salon when I want it to look perfect!
