Big T Plaza — Local services in Dallas

So today was my first trip to Big T’s, and I brought my golden doodle along—he’s currently in training to be a service dog (emphasis on training, y’all). Before heading in, I checked the website and didn’t see a single “no dogs allowed” warning. So I figured, cool—we’re good.

We stroll in, and my dog is out here soaking up compliments like he’s on a red carpet. Folks were petting him, calling him beautiful—he was clearly living his best life. Now, he did bark once at a Black man (we’re working on that), but the man’s friend was super sweet, even gave my dog a treat. So we’re chatting, engaging, doing all the things—and everything’s calm for a good 15-20 minutes.

Fast forward like three minutes, and boom—security pops up outta nowhere like he’s on a secret mission. He hits me with, “You did see the big sign that says no pets, right?” Sir… no, I did not. I apologized and explained a bit about the training, but his whole energy said, “Ma’am, I could not care less if that dog was training for the Olympics.”

So I said okay, no problem, and we left. But as I’m walking out, I see two signs taped to the door—computer paper-sized, fresh out the printer. My daughter goes, “This ain’t the door we came in.” So now I’m curious. We go back to the door we did come through, and guess what? No sign. I start scanning the area like I’m solving a crime scene, and finally spot this teeny-tiny black and red sign off to the side, nowhere near the actual door.

So moral of the story: If y’all don’t want pets inside, maybe put your signs where humans can actually see them—like, say, on the doors people use. Wild concept, I know.

I wasn’t even shopping—I never stepped foot in any of the stores. I was just in the aisle doing some social training with my dog. But from what I saw, if you’re looking for a cute club fit or that “stepping out tonight” vibe, Big T’s might be your spot. Just don’t bring your dog—unless he’s wearing sunglasses...

Very unprofessional staff. Don’t go to Big T Nails!!!! People go to places like this to get something aesthetically pleasing (and if you spending that much money, you would think it would be relaxing) and to have a SPA type of experience. I paid $50 for my feet and $100 for this set. Mind you I Did Not go to get my feet done, and my budget was $100. Tina convinced me saying i would get a “deal” on my feet which they put acrylic on an up charged for ….. They basically forced me to get a POWDER COLOR then all I wanted was a French Tip style set because there was no conversation about it before she put whatever she wanted on my hands. (Probably because they can charge you more for the powder color then an original gel set)... The boy who did my pedicure didn’t even give me a foot massage. And he filed each your crooked. This is what I got… Going into this place is very stressful. And don’t ask them to change something and don’t tell you you don’t like something because they will catch an attitude and start talking to each other in their language and laughing about things. They will blame you for their errors even if you show them a photo. I’ve seen these ladies making faces and being very rude about things that should be very very simple. They joke about liking big black “dixx” like its funny 🤦‍♀️ The only person in there that knows how to do Nails is Tina and she doesn’t want to do it. She will tell you she will see you and then have other staff to work on you who don’t know what they’re doing (and probably not licensed). One of the worst experiences at a nail shop I’ve ever ever had. Btw These photos are from yesterday at 5 PM. It’s now 2 PM the next day. * Two weeks update. Paint has peeled off. Is been ugly since the Rhinestones started to fall off on...

I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works in this facility is very friendly and eager to answer any questions that you may have about their products. They're willing to go above and beyond to find what you need. They have everything from men's and women's clothes to children. They also have a variety a shoe stores. They have awesome clothes especially close to go out in the urban community nightlife scene. They have a phenomenal Salon in the back of the mall that you can buy virgin Hair to include full lace frontals and they install them there for a great price. You really can't beat the quality of hair or the level of expertise The Stylist have. If you go please ask for Gabby she's the best. Also the nail shop in the back takes pride in perfection and if you ever go you'll see it in the style of management. Do not be alarmed the manager does yell a lot at her employees but they seem to operate well under pressure and do a great job. You can buy food at this place and get some meat a lot of great people. It's a great place to network and especially for music artist. I guarantee there's something in Big T's...
