About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Tip Top Nails, every afternoon around three, something strange happened. A regular noticed it first—a soft humming sound, like bees buzzing in perfect harmony. It grew louder each day until even the delivery driver remarked on it. Soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood stopped by for a manicure—just to catch a glimpse of those magical bees. Even the cat from across the street joined in, sitting patiently outside while its owner got her nails done. Turns out, it was just the lady technician whistling a happy tune as she worked. The end result? Everyone left with not only beautiful nails but also a smile on their face.

2. At Tip Top Nails, one day a delivery driver left his lunch bag on the counter. When he returned later that morning, it was gone. But in its place sat an old, dusty jar filled with coins and notes—each note signed simply ‘Thank you for your patience.’ The delivery driver was puzzled but touched. Over the next few days, more bags appeared empty, only to be replaced by these little tokens of appreciation. Soon enough, even neighbors started dropping by with their own notes and coins, saying they owed nothing but wanted to pay it forward. And so, Tip Top Nails became not just another nail salon, but a place where kindness flourished, one coin at a time.

3. At Tip Top Nails, whenever a new nail polish shade arrived, customers’ dogs started behaving strangely. One day, an owner brought her poodle for a pedicure and suddenly the little dog began wagging its tail non-stop when the technician picked up a bottle of neon pink. Soon enough, everyone in town was bringing their pets for manis—even cats! The vet down the street started referring patients for ‘special treatments.’ Then one day, a delivery driver came in with his golden retriever. As soon as they applied a glossy purple, the dog started doing backflips on command. Now, whenever someone asks if it’s true, the owners just smile and say, ‘Ask any pet around here—they’ll tell you!’

4. At Tip Top Nails, a neighbor always stopped for a chat while waiting for her nails to dry. One day, she noticed that the reflection in the mirror changed every time she mentioned someone’s name. Curious, she tested more names—each one causing the mirror to show a different person. When she said ‘Alex’, the reflection became her mailman, waving cheerfully from across the street. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an optical illusion created by the drying polish.
