Top Line Nails

I’ve been a client for about 15 years and although I drive past several salons it’s worth the drive! I always have compliments on my nails thanks to Lori. Everyone is good and they make you feel part of the family.

Went here last year, guy cut my nail and poured polish remover in my wound, which not only hurt like hell but it gave me an infection. This place sucks not to mention the furniture is torn and extremely old. Save yourself don’t go here!

please do not get service here. i’ve been coming here for years with excellent service from laurie the owner… however lately she and her staff have been slacking. they tell you that you can’t get certain things done even when you’re paying for them. i don’t get it. it’s your job to do nails and to always please the customer.

Very nice and employees are very friendly. Lauri is the one to ask for if your new! She did a great job and gave me an unbeatable price.

I love this nail place. They’re fast, the salon is well kept (I cannot stand run-​down looking salons, you’re there to pamper yourself, you don’t want to feel like you’re at an unsuccessful rummage sale) and and the staff is friendly. They cost a little bit more than other places I’ve gone to, but I have never once had a problem with their work. I get gel nails with shellac, never once had a break or chip, only need a fill about every three weeks. Highly recommend.

Not too thrilled with my past two experiences here. The nail techs get rude with me when i ask them to fix something. Two of my nails are messed up this time nd one is crooked. I asked the guy to fix my nails twice nd he ignored me. I paid extra to get shellac. Needless to say i wont be coming back. My shellac chipped after TWO DAYS. never again

Meh. This salon is pretty clean and the people are super nice, but their work and the quality of polish used is terrible. The first time I came, I had a shellac mani and a pedicure. The same guy did both. My toes were filed crooked and the shellac peeled after three days of having it on. Not good since I paid $ 60+. I was NOT a happy camper especially since I got them done for my bridal shower which was out of town so I couldn’t come back and have them fixed.
I decided to give them a second go around three or so months later. When I get pedi’s I have never had the polish chip in less than two weeks time. I got a regular mani/​pedi this time. Wouldn’t you know it, the next day, the corner of my big toe chipped, and the left index finger also chipped. Again, I wasn’t pleased.
I will not be giving this place a third chance. I’d advise you save your money and go somewhere else.

I was drawn in by the good reviews an ended up disapointed. After a long work week, I walked in on Saturday to get an acrylic fill-​in and polish. I usually go to Tina Nails in Taylor but Top Line is much closer to home. Maybe my guy just didn’t feel like working that day because the soccer game was on. When he started, his table had nail tips that he cut off the previous customers nails and there was also nail dust all over the place. Okay well no big deal as long as the nails look good, right? Well every single one of my nails are a different shape, the acrylic is really thick on the bottom of half of them, and he didn’t polish them very well at all. I’m really bummed out and I won’t not going to go back because I work too hard to spend 20 dollars on nails that I am dissatisfied with. Next time I will just stick with Tina nails and I will definitely pay more attention before I leave (I was already running late as it was). Time to go get the matching nail polish so that I can touch them up myself. At least that is cute.

Im always pretty happy, they just got new pedicure chairs that are pretty nice. Lots of plants inside, very cozy. Just got a leg wax, fantastic and quick.

Pros: helped right away, acrylic not too thick
Cons: did not get what I asked for, hurt
I walked in and asked for an American. One woman recognized what I was asking for and asked me if I want pink and whites. I told her something similar, but more natural-​looking, not so pink. What I received was too pink, too long, and too square. I asked for the corners to be rounded and they are just short of being sharp. I realize that some of this stuff is difficult to communicate, as there are no universal metrics for «pinkness,» etc, but during the process, I was never asked how I wanted things. When I noticed that he was cutting them too long, for example, it was too late because the white and pink acrylic was already down; cutting them shorter would have made the white too narrow. I was also burned by the filing gadget twice badly enough that I jerked my hand back (not a big deal, but this has never happened to me elsewhere). When all was said and done, as I was washing my hands, then I was asked how I liked them.
I’m bummed that I paid $ 52 ($ 45+$ 7 tip) for nails that are not what I wanted (IMO less attractive than the natural nails I walked in with). That said, they are even and shiny with no major flaws in craftsmanship. They feel sturdy. I feel that I was given an automatic standard service despite what I requested. Judging from other reviews, this might be a good place if you like the standard big, square, obvious «fake» nail look. Not so great otherwise.
Side note– 3 kids of the employees were there. This didn’t bother me, but if trying to relax, this could be a downer.

Not quite a 5-​star place, but it’s absolutely a favorite of mine for a quick mani/​pedi. Plus, they have been in business almost 20 years so hey… I have been coming here for MANY years (I think they had just recently opened when i started). The equipment is not brand-​new and maybe slightly run-​down, BUT it’s clean and functional. What I like is that the staff isn’t super-​chatty to the customers, but they are friendly and polite. When I go I don’t have to request a certain tech because they all do nails in a uniform manner. The owner/​manager is very friendly.
Also it’s pretty spacious so if I must wait for a tech to become available there is always a place to sit. There are plenty of work stations so it isn’t t often that I have had to wait, as long as there is enough staff working there.
I like the location because there is a large parking lot available. I always only get a simple mani/​pedi so my service has always been on point. They do the mini hand/​foot massage and my nails look great after…
This place is not near me, still I make it a point to go here because it’s a no-​frills place that gets the job done efficiently. It’s not a spa-​type place (but so?!) in and out! If you’re just looking to get your nails, brows or whatever fixed up in a timely in/​out fashion, this is your stop! If you’re interested in a place that is more pampering, posh and purty, kindly keep it moving ;-)

Wow. Unilocal,you super steered me wrong. I went here based on the great Unilocal reviews — but I guess my standards for a nail salon are higher than the other reviewers. I had gotten shellac at a great place in Dearborn, but wanted to get them redone closer to home. I walked in on a Sunday, which was nice that they were open, but my instinct as soon as I got in The door was to turn around and leave. There was at least 7 people there, 3 kids, and only two people actually working. There were men sitting around watching the hockey game and talking loudly — probably to so they could hear over the kids yelling. Not a good start.
Then, onto the manicure. Instead of using the machines that I have seen everywhere to take off my gel polish, I was subjected to four rounds of soaking and scraping — while the manicurist was gentle, I couldn’t understand why he was doing it this way. Especially after I saw another manicurist using one. The water I was supposed to be soaking my hands in has stuff in it (dirt? Old nail polish?!) and all of his tools he took out of his desk — not sterilized, or opened up from a new package like most places.
Overall, the place is the opposite of relaxing. Crazy dirty carpet, nail polish bottles everywhere, and when my manicurist was done scraping my nails, he took the towel and waved all the polish bits onto the floor. GAH ROSS. Fluorescent lighting, drop ceilings — you could not PAY me to get a pedicure here. My nails came out ok, but not that great. I just wanted to get out of there. I will not be going back there again.

Cheapest and least painful place to get your eyebrows waxed! (that I know of)
I was going to Bianchi’s on 16 mile and John R to get my eyebrows waxed, and they did a great job… but not only was it $ 20, you can’t even add tip when you charge your card!
Found this place on a recommendation from a friend… conveniently down the street, and only $ 10 for a quick eyebrow wax. Just a word of warning, if you use your credit card, they’ll charge you an extra dollar.
I only waited about 5 – 10 min… only because there was one customer ahead of me.
The lady who did my eyebrows was quick and did a great job… definitely coming back here again… convenient and cheap!

Verdict is still out on this one. Bring your own reading material and the TV is set to a non-​English speaking channel. Wet floor and no place to sit your purse is annoying. Being open on Sunday is a plus and prices are better than my regular place, Starlight Nails. The actual service was pretty good though.

I haven’t gotten my nails done in years and was just looking for a place to go nearby. I got a full set and they recommended a gel so I got that as well. The guy was nice enough although I couldn’t understand what he was saying at all (my own fault) My nails were a little longer than I wanted and way too square for my taste. I needed to fix them when I got home. But they look nice and seem like they will last.
The shop is huge and there are multiple stations. The staff was very nice and the other customers seemed happy.
Not sure yet if I will return when I need a fill, I felt a little odd having a man do my nails and I definitely would like to understand whoever is doing them. These are my issues and not with the shop.

Unilocal did not let me down, once more a great place to go. I am gone so much on the road that don’t have time to get my nails done in my home town. I have Unilocaled nail salons all over the place and got good results.
Lori, the owner, worked with me on my too old acrylic nails. Last time I had them done, the manicurist told me they needed to be removed. She agreed and took them all off, Gave me a gel set and said to give my nails a rest for a month. They look amazing. The pedicure was also great, and the place is very clean. I went ahead and even got my eyebrows waxed. Price was very reasonable and as others have said, Lori makes you feel welcome. Big place, no one had to wait. Will be back here if we come through on business next year–

Didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes. My mani (shellac) and pedi turned out great! Worth the price!!! The atmosphere is average but the owner and staff are friendly (make you feel comfortable).

I don’t give out 5’ers very often, but this place deserves it.
I’ve always loved having long nails and perfect polish.
I started getting my nails done in 1991, before it was even COOL to do so, and the only place you could get them done was Merle Norman…
LOL
I haven’t had my tips done in a while and wanted to start again. I usually go to Nail Elite, but they aren’t open on Sundays.
Too bad for them I guess.
I went here on my anniversary and Lori worked with me as well as her daughter. I got gel tips, a pedi, and my eyebrows done.
SEVEN weeks later I finally made it back in for a fill and Lori was happy to see me! I was even happier to show her that I hadn’t broken, cracked, or even split a nail.
In fact, 6 weeks in and I was still getting compliments on them… seriously!
The place is big and there is room for lots of people. The pedis are the best and the prices are reasonable even better than some others around.
Oh, and just on a side note, this time I got navy blue… for U of M
Go BLUE!!!
/​Sturdy!!!

Top Line is a fantastic place to get your nails done. This salon is huge and I never have to wait more than 10 minutes. Lori, who I believe is the owner, is super sweet and friendly. She always remembers me. I got my gel nail set here and I also get them filled in here as well. I think this nail salon is moderately priced but its definitely worth it. I never feel rushed and my nails last for 3 weeks before I notice any chipping or lifting. There are also many pedicure chairs, so if you want to go with a friend on a whim, no worries about being separated! Definite gold star!

This is one of my go-​to spots for my mani/​pedi for a few simple reasons:
–I have never had more than a 5 minute wait (for a busy gal– this earns HUGE points in my book)
–You get great looking acrylic nails (thin, perfect round/​square tips, not trashy looking like i’ve gotten & seen from other places).
–The pedicure lady is scary (I am convinced she is really not a foot kind of person or a people person, but she does a bitchin job so if she looks like she wants to saw my foot off mid-​pedicure I just tip her well and hope she doesn’t this time).
–It’s priced pretty well. I think last time I paid less than thirty for a full-​set and that included a good tip to the manicurist who would rub my hand and saw ‘awe, sorry it hurt’ when I would say ‘ow’ (while taking off TERRIBLE gel nails– he wasn’t the cause of it hurting).
It’s not the trendy place, but the price is right and they do an amazing job so I’ll keep going.
