About

Topcoat was founded by four siblings, Amy, Thanh, Nam and Kim Nguyen. The salon's stated mission is to offer a non-toxic nail care experience and to rethink the usual nail care routine. It describes itself as a non-toxic and organic nail salon, and its products are 10-free, meaning they leave out ten of the ingredients most often found in other nail products.

Services are grouped into hands, feet, custom art, Little Coats polish services and waxing, with a set of add-ons that can be combined with most visits. Hand services range from a standard manicure and a rest relaxation manicure to gel, builder gel (BIAB), dipping powder, dipping powder with tips and Gel-X extensions. Feet services include standard, organic, gel, wellness, jelly and CBD pedicures. The organic pedicure uses a Himalayan salt soak and sugar scrub, the wellness pedicure includes a paraffin treatment, and the CBD pedicure includes a CBD lotion and a hot stone massage.

Custom art includes hand-painted designs, French nails, aura and ombre airbrush, chrome, velvet or cateye finishes, and decals, flakes, foils and stones. Prices for art are listed by number of nails, with two, four and ten nail options for hand-painted designs and ten nail pricing for most other styles. The Little Coats menu offers polish changes and manicures or pedicures for clients with nails 48 inches and under.

Waxing is offered for the lip, chin, sideburns, brows, neck, stomach, underarms, arms, legs and full face. The salon asks clients who use retin-a, renova, accutane, topical or oral cortisone, or similar skin-thinning medications not to book waxing and to consult a physician first.

The salon takes credit cards, Apple Pay and cash, and tips may also be sent by Venmo or Cash App. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100, $150 and $200 amounts and can be used for any service or product.

The salon builds its services around non-toxic and organic ingredients, with 10-free nail products and vitamin-infused gel polish that is cured under LED light rather than UV.

Clients can relax in massage chairs at the salon.
