TD Nails

I have been here 4 times, once for a pedicure, twice a manicure, and once for a polish change in that order. I got a fabulous pedicure the first visit… the woman had my feet soft as a baby’s bum and the polish job was on point! It wasn’t as clean as the salon I had been going to but seemed decent enough. So a bit later I went for a manicure. I was talked into a Cindi’s naturals mani and I went with it. No formaldehyde, lasted 2 weeks, so I was happy. I decided to get an eyebrow wax… big mistake… huge. I barely have eyebrows as it is and after I left I had way less. They were wayyy to thin. This was 2015, not 1994. She convinced me into a lip wax which I didn’t need but fine, people like to upsell. Fast forward to last week. I went in for a Cindi’s manicure and it looked great. I sat there and let it dry for the recommended time but an hour later I smudged it. It should have been dry by then and I was very careful but the polish was very thick and looked old. Still loving how great of a polish job they did I returned today for a polish change as I have an important job interview tomorrow. The tech was relentless that I needed another manicure, mind you I just had one there 6 days ago! I agreed to it and then he pretty much forced me to get shellac. The shade I picked out was not even close to the sample. So he found a different polish that was exactly what I wanted but he didn’t remove the first one. Granted, it still turned out nice and you can’t really tell but I was bothered by the persistent upselling and I had to ask for another coat because it was really streaky when he was going to stop. Also, the cleanliness and equipment has gone downhill since My first visit 6 months ago. I hope they can get it together by summer because I loved that pedicure.

This small shop is run incredibly cleanly and politely. Appointment times are carefully respected, although walkins are probably more common. I have frequently been graciously «touched up» after messing up a nail before (and sometimes after) leaving. I have seem some very rude customer behavior (possibly the mother-​daughter reviewers above?) who were courteously tolerated, even after throwing a glass nail polish bottle in a tantrum to shatter on the floor. The baths and equipment are meticulously cleaned before the tech even steps away, and all tools strictly sanitized. I love this place and am so happy it’s my regular and available go-​to nail salon.

If I could I would have left 0 stars. Went in on my day off with my mom so we could get our toes done. Waited 10 to 15 minutes to get back in a chair… okay but once we got there we sat for an hour. looking over I see the woman who was there before us still waiting. but a woman who came in after us gets her toes done and nails started. and when I said something about it she said oh I called. well so did my mom. the customer service was horrible. Within 1 minute they had lost 3 people.

Sitting waiting. Watching someone who came in after me get her toes finished. Garbage. No concern. Customer service? A joke!!!

I was severely burned by the owner from getting my eyebrows waxed here.
I was bleeding, bright red and very sore. She tried blaming me by saying I rubbed my eyes which caused the bleeding.
Don’t go here!

I’ve given this place multiple chances before writing this review. It used to be a great little place maybe 3 – 4 years ago; but I don’t know what ha happened in recent time. On my two recent visits, my mani/​pedis were so rough that I left one time with scratches and cuts on my feet, and the other time with cuts on my cuticles. They filed my nails so rough as to start hitting the skin on the top of my toes – and it hurt! When I tried to talk to them in process, they could barely understand me and don’t know much English. Even «ouch» and a winced face wasn’t enough. The time my feet were scratched, they also missed an essential step in my mani – they didn’t do the hand lotion and massage! All who get manis know this is probably one of the best parts. Also who wants to leave a mani appt. with rough dry hands?! Sorry – but I’m finally done with this place and have to ding them here. Go here at your own risk.

Horrible experience, and super painful. I went on Sunday 1−19−14, for pedi, mani and wax, the pedi was ok, the fill in she cut 4 of my fingers and my wax, the lady burn me cut me and did not say anything to me until I saw myself in the mirror. By the way they charge me. At this present time my face is with scabs, can’t barely open my mouth therefore, eating is really painful. Honestly, I left a tip cause I thought the lady might need the money later on as I think she sucks plus do not speak any English. Further, she thought it was funny. There was another girl that took the matter serious and try to comfort by applying Vaseline. Damage is done, I will never return to this place again plus I’m telling all my friends of this horrible and traumatic experience.
Please think twice when stoping by this place.

Staff is pleasant, although it takes quite awhile. Place could certainly be cleaner but the tools did come out of a sealed plastic package. Used hot rocks on my legs and feet during the pedicure which was an unexpected treat. For a regular pedicure and a gel manicure total cost was $ 58 which I found to be quite high. Went there out of convenience– not sure if I’ll return, although my nails do look nice and clean.

This place is usually consistant and most of them do a nice job. I have visited other nail salons and always come back to TD nails. The polish jobs always hold up nicely.

Oh, TD Nails, what happened to you? The fresh-​faced nail salon on Woodward is starting to show its age, like a reality TV star. The shiny veneer comes off as brittle now, and the former spotlessness has declined to a rather worrisome low. I’ve spotted uncleaned instruments and dirty stations, pedicure foot baths with scum rings, and the general disorder at the front which puts me off. I don’t exactly require surgical cleaning standards at a nail salon, but attention to hygiene wins major points in my book.
My past three experiences have embittered me to one of the few salons conveniently placed on the Woodward corridor without driving all the way in to Clawson for my steady nail parlour partner.
For waxing, skip TD and move straight on to a proper hair removal studio or day spa. TD Nails uses the standard mini-​crockpot of wax bubbling all day long, and they dip and reuse wooden sticks to apply the wax. I’m disgusted whenever I see the same stick used twice, especially in a communal pot of bacteria and bodily goo that touched who knows how many other Detroiters before I got there. They sat me in an office chair and performed one of the worst eyebrow waxes I’ve had since California Nails, grossly thinning out the end of my right brow by leaving an uncomfortably bare patch. My brows are black and very defined in their arch, so there’s no reason for this disaster.
Finding a nail technician able to work on you without a 45 minute wait any time after 4PM takes an act of God or a pre-​arranged appointment. The employees wing a guess at the wait time. I’ve been told «15 minutes,» only to sit there for 45 because a string of clients showed up with appointments and bumped me back. What? If you cannot accommodate me because you have scheduled clients, tell me up front. There never seem to be enough technicians, and the work they perform is lacklustre. My acrylic tips break, the pedicures are slow and sloppy, and I can never get out of there in under two hours. I’m not a rushed girl but why on earth does a pedi take 85 minutes? That doesn’t count the unreasonable wait time as stuck up Birmingham moms with their 8 year olds sail in, stare down their noses, and announce «I have an appointment» to all and sundry.
That’s nice, but I’m keeping my business with Clawson’s gem, thanks. There is a finer studio in town and you are not it, TD.
NOTE: Use an appointment, as drop-​ins wait a very long time, and all appointments bump people waiting in the cramped lobby down the totem pole.

Make an appt it will bump u ahead of the walk in line! They r nice & so a through job. They offer a wide variety if colors. The price was reasonable at $ 27 for a pedi. Nice & relaxing!

When your body says to you, «Haroun, you need to pamper yourself,» you have to listen. And so I take myself to TD, where I immediately fall into a massage chair, roll up my pants, and put my giant feet in some bubbly water. They take care of the rest. I leave feeling very relaxed, and my feet feeling very soft. Highly recommended.

This is a pretty great place to get your nails done. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, they have a decent selection of colors and they offer a pretty wide array of services, including Shellac manicures and eyebrow waxing. They can be a little bit slow (a mani/​pedi usually takes about an hour) and sometimes you will have to wait, but it is worth it. The place is clean and they do a really nice job. Plus, when you get a pedicure, they now give you a little massage with hot stones and then wrap your legs in hot towels. So relaxing!

So much better than you’d expect. I’m always skeptical about getting pedicures at anywhere other than a high end salon, but this place was fantastic. I watched them clean the other chairs, and they really do a good job keeping the place clean :)
The pedicure itself was quite nice. They really take their time, and I felt way more pampered than I expected. My feet are definitely summer ready now! I also decided to splurge for a manicure and an eyebrow wax, because, well, why not?
Best part? All of this was $ 48. Seriously. Manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax, under $ 50. Magic.

I met some friends here recently who had come here many times before. I was impressed by the friendly staff and the number of chairs (probably 8 for manicures and 6 for pedicures). The entire place was clean and they did a good job. The only issue seems to be how long it takes – two solid hours for manicure and pedicure. However… it was only $ 27 for a pedicure, which was a good price in my opinion. :) Time well spent if you aren’t in a huge hurry.

Going on over 3 wks now and the french pedicure from them is still going strong! Maybe I can justify the price now.

I went here bi-​weekly when I lived in Royal Oak (it’s at Catalpa and Woodward), and even though I’ve moved, I always find myself coming back.
The prices are reasonable, and besides a full nail service, they also offer microdermabrasion and waxing. They have the massage chairs for the pedicures, and they keep their utensils and basins very clean.
