T & T Nails

I used to be a regular here when I was local and hadn't been to T&T in years, so I am grateful that my dear Aunt moving to town gave me an excuse to return! Solid service from Tom and Tammy who took us as walk-ins, and graciously hosted my 12 year old son who was chilling out reading during our nail service.

Tom and Tammy are a really lovely married couple who beam with joy. They did a perfect job with a lot more attention to detail than you usually receive. The setting is basic- the service is exceptional. The price is fair and competitive for this area we each paid $55 for a full set with gel polish. We decided that this is our place and are planning to make a tradition of getting our nails done a couple times a month here.

My wife asked if I wanted to get a pedicure with her on our day off, and of course, I jumped at the opportunity. My working feet needed some love!! 20 minutes later, we walked into T&T and were treated like royalty. We both got the deluxe pedicure, and it was worth the extra few bucks for sure. We sat in the massage chairs and were offered a variety of beverages. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They got rid of my wife's ingrown toenail and knocked off my calluses from being on my feet all day.

I believe they have been in Petaluma for over 20 years!! I would recommend T&T to anyone looking for a quality and relaxing mani/pedi. Thanks, T&T. we will be back again for sure.

I am pretty sure that I have never met nicer business owners. We were visiting from Mass and needed our nails done. The man and woman that did our nails were literally the sweetest and our nails looked amazing. Highly recommended!!!!!

Tom and Tammy are so nice and generous with their time. They never rush and I get a perfect mani/pedi every time. If I do get polish it lasts sometimes up to a week. I don't know how they do it but I love that it lasts. I love that I have found a local place that is consistently great. Happy customer!

I love Tammy and Tom! I went there 10+ years ago when my son was in high school in Petaluma. I moved to Santa Rosa recently and started going back there. I feel like I've come home! And you'll get a great massage to boot!

Thank you Tammi! Nice people good service and cute clean place! Can't wait to go back

I can't tell if it's the 80's pop playing in the background I love more or the fact they are the friendliest most attentive nail salon I've ever been to!! :) They didn't even make me feel lame ONE BIT, for taking eons to pick a goddamn color! :) I got a gel mani, and a regular pedi and couldn't be happier with the quality! Can we talk about the REAL back massage as well?! How many places these days even scratch the surface with this service? ONLY THEY DO! And it's amazing .

Came to Petaluma with a friend for a short get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Found this gem and so happy we gave it a shot. Small family owned salon, which I love to support.

They were so friendly and helpful. Tammy did an awesome job on my pedicure. She thoroughly clean and shaved my nails. My end toe always look disfunction bc I wear stilletos. She fixed it using the filer machine to sand down and even out my nails. My Tor is on point.

Highly recommend this place.

Update one month later:

My pedicure still looks new, except for the new growth at the base of the nails! There is no chipping at all! I'm impressed and I will go back here. Hopefully I'll get the same lady.

We were just yelled at after we sat down for an HOUR AND A HALF to get 2 gel manicures when there were only 4 people in the place. They yelled at us that they "didn't want customers who looked like us" before they finally stepped out of the way so we could leave.
I called before hand and asked if there was time, was told to come down, showed up 5 minutes later and at first everything seemed very nice. There were about 4 people in there when we walked in, they took us and had us change seats at least 5 different times. I appreciated that she was getting us in without an appointment but she was rushing to do our work, filing a finger at a time and running to do someone else's nails. There were only 2 women working. One of them, Mai, was very nice and did a good job, actually did only my nails at one time. I don't know the other woman's name, but she rushed my friend's gel and when it was done, parts of her nails weren't painted and the other half was painted over her cuticles on the skin of her fingers.
We asked if they could fix the nails that were noticeably bad - and mind you, all of them looked bad but we had run out of time to sit and have the whole thing done over again.
Then they grab a file and run it over all of her nails as she's trying to ask them to only fix the messed up ones. The woman agreed that all of her nails looked bad. We sat there for 20+ minutes waiting for the gel to be taken off her nails when it was in the foil. We were told that my friend had picked bad polish and she was then only given 2 color wheels out of about 10 and told that it was the brand that we needed to change for the polish. This clearly wasn't the case because my nails turned out fine with the same brand she originally used.
We finally really needed to leave because we had to go to work. It had been an hour and a half. I was trying to pay for my nails and we took the foil off and politely said we didn't have the time and would take the remaining polish off ourselves. The woman left her appointment's nails and ran over and insisted that she repaint my friends nails. We said we appreciated that but we no longer had time. She said it would only take 6 minutes for her to redo the nails (no way! And even if she did it would have turned out worse than the first time she rushed her nails!)
The woman began to yell at my friend in front of customers because she was adamant that we couldn't leave without paying for her nails (that looked like the picture we added) or let her finish. We really somehow remained calm when this woman wouldn't understand that we did NOT have any more time to spend and that we no longer wanted the service. My friend's nails and cuticles were now jacked up and raw because they had been trimmed and buffed/ sanded TWICE. I paid for my nails but the woman continued to yell at us and demanded that we pay for my friend's "manicure". We could not sit there any longer because we had to go to work and we were not going to pay for work that left her nails 100x worse than when she walked in.
Bottom line, we called before to see if they had time, were told they did. Showed up 5 minutes later because we were around the corner, then waited an hour and a half. The woman did very poor work on my friend's nails and when we asked if it could be touched up, she blamed the polish and told us to choose from 2 of the 10 color wheels. We waited an additional 20 min for the nail polish to come off, then could not wait any more and asked if we could pay for mine and leave. The woman left her appointment and tried to blame us for not having more time. She started yelling and pointing at us in or faces. Then she was blocking us from the door and tried telling us to come back another time so they could fix it. It was hostile. Very unprofessional. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but that was out of hand as she yelled at us as we walked out the door.
