Tweedy For Nails

I’d like to say, as an business Asian American, i am very disappointed as to how this place is managed. i live couple blocks away from the establishment. finding a salon in this neighborhood is a hit or a miss. Tweety, is miss. FYI, i visited this place serval of times for different services before i decided that I am not going back.
First visit, my friend and i went for a pedicure, not given a wait time the owner just started our pedi water and had us sit. i enjoyed my hot water, my massage chair, and the jet pool, but at some point i would like to have my service, NO one came back to check on us, the water was cold and i had to warm the water up myself, by then i was annoyed already. 15 mins of soaking they finally decided to service us. ugh. horrible
Second time, i went for a manicure. Given that the owner seems to be nice, she greeted me as i walked in while she was polishing her employees gel mani, The employee said in Chinese, (thinking i wouldn’t understand) «let me start her mani.»
the owner says, «let her wait a little bit.» i wanted to walk out after that comment but i was desperate. let me keep my mouth shut, i need my prettied up for my Beauty and the Best play, so i waited. The owner and the employee decided to step for a few and left the man to service my manicure, i started my mani at 3:45, an hr later was still not finished. but the only good comment i would say is that he cut my cuticles really nicely. when it came to the polish thats when it started to piss me the f*** off. He didn’t polish my corners and i took him 10 mins to polish 5 fingers, Im crunch on time, and i have to dry my nails. so, i told him to just give me one coat of polish, i don’t have another 30 mins to spear, the owner just walked in, i had to tell her that i have to come back and get my nails complete polished over again. she said ok. Perfect!
i went back the following monday. heres when the tables started to turn. the owner asked what of service i wanted. and i told her that need my nail polished. i had to remind her what had happen again. ugh. i shouldn’t have to do that. then, she gave me this bullshit speech saying, she’s only doing this one time and she will not do it again. what the fuck?!? 1.) your employee screwed up. 2.) your responsible for fixing my nails.
so anyways she sent me to this boy who barely spoke or understand any english and screwed up my nails again. polish was all over my skin. i got so upset that i couldn’t even sit to dry my tacky ass nail.
i cant come back here anymore unprofessional money hungry asians turns me off

The guy did a shitty job on my pedi but was pretty good on my gel mani… not sure if I’ll go back

The worst place ever
This place made my breakout on my nails and feet

Decent salon.

I have my nails done here regularly. The owner is very friendly and accommodating, and my nails always look great. Lots of regular and gel colors to choose from.
No appointment needed.

Came here today to get a pedicure. I’ve been apprehensive about getting another pedicure since the last place I went to did a horrible job. My family is in the business so I know what should be done. I’m not into the fancy and beautiful place that does a sloppy and crappy job. When I get a pedicure I want someone that will take their time to make sure my cuticles are clean, cut my nails right, and know how to apply polish smoothly since I use the same brand all the time. I moved back to the East Coast for 2 years now and this was the first time that I found someone that did an awesome job on my feet. He took his time, cleaned my cuticles, used the pumice for my heel, massaged my feet, and applied the Essie nail polish perfectly. Essie colors are hard to polish and I made that comment to him. He was surprised that I knew that. Since the color I use is a matte color it needs to be applied evenly or else it’s a complete mess. I’m still admiring the polish. I am definitely pleased and will be returning.

This is my go-​to place for a pedi. Admittedly, there is a slight language barrier sometimes but the owner or her daughter will help out if needed. The prices are good, the chairs are comfy and they do a good job. It seems like they are always open and you don’t need an appointment. Of course, I always wish the massage part lasted a bit longer, but I feel that way no matter where I go. I definitely recommend Tweedy and will continue to go there.
Addendum: My pedis last a LONG time

I don’t recommend this salon. The manicure was not well done. The paint went all the way into my cuticles, causing the manicurist to use acetone to clean up what was on my skin. The polish was peeling within 25 hours. The service was mediocre as the manicurist did not respect my request to pay before the service to avoid ruining a manicure. The pedicure chairs are in an awful setting. The cost for pedi/​mani is $ 30 as opposed to most of the places in the area which charge $ 25. No parking nearby on a Saturday. I’d probably paint my own nails rather than go here again.

Tweedy for nails is a decent nail salon. I’ve been to many a nail salon in Philadelphia — and as such, I think I am a bit of an expert. I went there recently to get a mani and pedi. The women that work there are super nice. The pedicure chairs in the back are a little odd — they are in a darker room, with no windows. Addiitonally, you are facing the waxing corner, so that’s your view. Which I personally think is a little strange. I’d prefer to NOT see people being brought into a room where they will be waxed.
The pedicure and manicure it self were not bad — and the prices certainly aren’t bad. However, City Nails on the square a little bit better, and only $ 2 more, so for me, the brisk walk to Rittenhouse is worth it.

This place is AWFUL!!! they don’t speak English, it’s DIRTY, and the polish job was something a 12– year old could’ve done! She got more polish on my skin then my nails! If you want a professional clean manicure SKIP this place!

Not open at 2pm on a Wednesday. All three of their signs said that they were open and there was a light on in the back. I knocked for a couple minutes, called the posted number (no answer), and waited 20 minutes to no avail. Two other customers came by while I was waiting and said this happens sometimes. Unfortunately, a typical Philly business, from my limited experiences here =p

I just recommended this place on a thread, so I thought I should submit my review. My experience here was awesome. I got a french mani/​pedi here for $ 35, my girl spoke perfect english and when i told her the file bothered me, she adjusted the speed and tried to make it more comfortable for me. They were fast at the parts that suck: the filing and painting, but took their time massaging. My paint was flawless, and my feet were soft and neat looking. Highly recommended.

Not. A. Speck. Of. Cuticle.
These ladies mean business. They’re GOOD.

If you’ve been to any neon-​lit nail salon before then you know what to expect. There will be some sort of language barrier. It will be tidy but not clean. You might have to wait five minutes but you’ll be out in ten. Oh, and they have those huge vibrating chairs for pedicures. I took a chance on an eyebrow wax here and, by some stroke of luck, I left with both of them. The lady that did them actually kept her sunglasses on while she waxed. I don’t know if she decided to shake things up and give herself a challenge for the day or she’s really THAT skilled.
