Sign in to reviewTammy is amazingly friendly and talented. She made sure to shape my nails how I wanted them. This is the first time I've got my nails how they were supposed to be in a long time. She cares a lot about the customer's wants and has excellent advice for nail care. Thalia did my pedicure, and it was a fantastic massage. I got the mask and the warm wax, and my feet feel smooth and hydrated. They did a fantastic job, and I overheard clients around me expressing their gratitude to other nail technicians. I am bringing my whole family here to do their nails! Very happy highly recommend
Amazing customer service. As soon as I walked in I was greeted so warmly and had such a wonderful conversation with the nail technician. I felt so seen and cared for as well. I got a deluxe pedicure and I’ve never had such a good pedicure. They scrubbed my feet so well, the hot wax was relaxing and the details in the paint job was so impressive. Clean lines and precision. My go to spot, ask for Lina and she will take the best care of you!
Best nail shop ever! I’ve been working with Tammy for years and she’s honestly the best person ever. She is so skilled and patient with her work. Her entire team is so lovely! Not to mention her prices are very reasonable considering the quality of her products.
I've been coming to Tammy’s Nails since before the salon even opened, and I’ve followed Tammy and Lina because they are both incredibly talented, kind, and hardworking women. It takes serious dedication, strength, and passion to open your own nail salon — and Tammy did exactly that. Lina always goes above and beyond for my nails and toes. I can give her a general idea without even showing a photo, and she still brings my vision to life every single time. I always leave happy, and I constantly get compliments. Tina is amazing at nails — her nail art is out of this world. And Lin got me into Gel X, and let me just say, I’m never going back. Every single person in this salon slays. You can feel the care and skill in everything they do. Lina has a special place in my heart. Thank you for making my nails and toes look good — and for making me look good. I’ll never go anywhere else, and neither will my family. We love the service, the quality, and the energy here. Don’t let one picky review distract from the real experience. This salon is built on talent, loyalty, and love.
This is my second time coming to Tammy's in university ave, and they never disappoint! I got a different nail Technitian, and she nailed it. I will be showing off my beautiful Christmas-themed nails this year at my family's Christmas dinner and friends' gatherings. I am so happy with my nails.
