I got a full gel set on my first visit (blue/purple) and second visit I did a fill of the gel nails (green/yellow). T spent a lot of time working on my design and was willing to change small things for me because Im a little particular when getting a set. I brought my own shimmer flakes to do the design but they were thinking of ordering the flakes so they could offer this design. There are 6 different colors of shimmer flake and they look different on different colors. I think black is best but also works on any color if you don't like black. Overall great experience and I will be back again!

I have been coming to T2 for about 6 months. Prior to that, I would bounce around. Some places have felt like I was just a number and not as welcoming! T, has welcomed me and remembered my name from the time I gave it to her! Now the nailsโ€ฆ. I am so hard on my nails and always used to break them or the dip would start to lift and peel from the cuticle area after about 2 weeks. Since finding T2 that has no longer been a problem! The quality is perfection!!!

T2 Nails has been my go-to nail salon for 15+ years and Thu never disappoints with her nail work, designs, and high level of customer service! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Grimes area. Thank you Thu and the rest of the T2 Nails team for always taking such great care of me!

Got a pedicure a couple of days ago and my big toe is swollen and sore and starting to turn purple, so I am making a drs appointment to now get it checked out. Ive always gone here and love the service, but thursday night after getting my toes done, I notice my toe start to get hot and sore and it was bothering me while I slept. I soaked it in warm water with Epsom salt (read online that it helps) the next morning and it just keeps getting worse pain wise and now is turning purple which is freaking me out. I did have ingrown toenails which the man pulled out for me which I appreciated, but I think something must've went wrong with this toe, because of how swollen/sore and since it's turning purple. Im also now going to have to pay to see my doctor due to this and pay for whatever the dr recommends for my toe. As a single mom, I was just wanting to treat myself, but now its become more of an issue and more $$$ out of my pocket.
