Tip & Toe Spa

I’m not satisfied with my customer service from THUY MINH VU. I asked full set and she save me regular instead on solar without asking. After I told her that’s not what I wanted she began hurting my hands/​nails cause she was frustrated. Now I’m paying for something I didn’t want! THUY MINH VU can either take this $ 10 as a tip or charge me the cut down too!!!

I love the way Lisa does my eyebrows! The gel nail polish here does not last long so I stopped letting them do my nails. They always stay open late and are usually very nice.

I attempted to get a pedicure here today. After walking in and waiting for over 3 minutes no one had greeted me or acknowledged my presence to say if walk ins were available or how long the wait would be. There were two people working but I guess no interest in walk ins.

If you want to get Shellac, don’t count on Tip & Toe Spa… I gave it a try 2 times just because of the convenience of their location and the price. Both times they were peeling off within a week so I guess you get what you pay for. I’ve found another place that is way better!

I have another usual nail salon I like to go to but like an idiot, for convenience, I went here for a new acrylic set with shellac polish, my usual. I decided to go with a colored tip style & a solid for my ring fingers. The design was ok but my fingers were so sore, I thought it’d be better by the next day but no the pain was worse. On top of that, my nails that had just the tips done were so badly burned, from the nail drill, you could see it. Plus my shellac was alrighty chipping from the tips & coners. So like a fool, yet again, I went back in the very next day to just have them painted over so you couldn’t see the red, burn markings. I got shellac again cause that’s usually what works best for me. The very next day it begin chipping again but what was worse was the pain. Especially my pointer on my left hand. It stung & burned for days & begun to puss & bleed from under my nail. It’s been 3weeks now & I can still feel discomfort. I NEVER down local artist cause I, myself, am a hair artist but I truly felt compelled to let others know to be cautious of this place. The set up is nice & neat but obviously something went wrong & I’d hate for someone else to have to endure what I did.

I’ve only had my eyebrows done here so I can only speak on that… Kelly is awesome! The place it cute and trendy, the location is right next to Dollar Tree, the hours are good. I’m easy to please so I will be back :).

TERRIBLE!!! I just went here as a walk-​in because it was convenient on Thursday. I had a basic mani/​pedi to prepare for a wedding on Saturday. The guy who did the mani wasn’t great at it, the station was covered in dust from someone else’s nail filings (gross! I made him clean that before he started.), and my polish wasn’t straight/​full coverage, but there was plenty of polish on my fingertips (he continued to pick at it with his own nails for a while before just giving up). The guy who took over to do the pedi was just as lacking in skill, and when I told him the water in the foot bath was hot, he laughed. I picked up my feet because it was still filling with hot water and they were red! Only then did he drain some to add cool water. All of the staff were difficult to understand and seemed annoyed by my need for repetition. When I checked out I was charged $ 60.00!!! The posted prices along with what the mani guy told me were far less, but the pedi guy who checked me out would only speak 90mph in an agitated tone insisting I owed them $ 60.00. I paid it and left pretty ticked. To top it all off, by the time the wedding came, my nail polish was already half chipped off and «yellowing». I have NEVER had this happen before, NEVER left a salon more stressed than I walked in, and I will NEVER go back!

I wish I still had the picture of how my nails came out to show but I deleted it already. The guy that did my nails seemed like he was not into it, looking around while buffing and filing my nails. He was very cut and dry and even when he cut my finger he didn’t say sorry but just put some liquid in it to stop the bleeding. I didn’t like the paint job he did on my acrylics, it was streaky and not full coverage. That’s because I tipped him before he was done so I hoped he would do a nice job. I guess he didn’t care about keeping new customers so I won’t be coming back.

I’ve been coming to Tip and Toe since 2010 (including back at their old location) and I’m just now writing a review! Yikes!!! I’ve never had issues with my pedicures and the ladies there have always been friendly to me.
Today, I came in for a French tip pedi for the first time in several months and the main lady there asked where I had been. She’s so nice and I feel bad that I don’t know her name, so I just call her «my lady.» Anyway, she wasn’t available to do my pedi, but a nice gentleman was able to and he did a beautiful job! See pic! Instead, my lady was working on a mani/​pedi for a little girl, whose mother was there staring and pouting. She was annoying and disrespectful to the staff. The mother kept complaining out loud in front of other customers that it took too long for my lady to finish up and she sternly told her to «hurry up, it’s almost 8 and I got bills to pay!»
First of all, don’t tell someone in his/​her business to hurry up… if you didn’t have time (which honestly, they were there for about 20 minutes… which is still pretty reasonable) then don’t do it if it interferes with you paying bills! Do it at home yourself! Secondly, if you’re gonna act that ratchet, don’t do it in public and set a bad example for your daughter. Thirdly, the entire time that woman was acting up, my lady kept it calm, cool, and professional instead of stooping down to that other woman’s level. You go girl!!! When the mother and daughter left, a few customers also praised her for how she handled that.
After that unnecessary drama, my lady met me at the register and only charged $ 28 for a regular French tip pedi, so I left a $ 10 tip for services. No worries Tip and Toe, I’ll be back soon!!!

Came in on a whim. 4:30 pm. Saturday. Haven’t had a pedi in 8 months. Waited in massage chair with whirlpool warm water for about 45 minutes. But the spa deluxe pedi had me chilling with a sea salt scrub. Campus scrub. Mask warm towel treatment. And oil/​lotion massage. I didn’t think she’d ever quit running legs and feet WOW!!! I melted in the chair. Color awesome. With like 3 coats to cover it all and keep it shining. So relaxed. I’ll be back. And I’ll give gift certificates for Mother’s Day here. Only thing better would have been some wine! I’m at the one behind Chilis. Near super target and next to dollar tree. On north 35. Near Howard. I can see the huge bus station off Howard through the windows!

I was not impressed by this place! Their polishes seemed old and the staff wasn’t very friendly. The guy didn’t do a good job. One of my nails looked dull even after the top coat dried.

I wanted to get my nails painted and this place is right around the corner. I walked in and they helped me right away. Although there is a language barrier they eventually understood what I wanted. I don’t know the name of the person who helped me but she did a great job! I did not want fake nails, I just wanted my natural nails and toe nails painted French tip and they came out perfect! Very happy! It was $ 18 for finger nails and toe nails painted French tip.

terrible people. decent gel pedicure. I picked a bright white for my toes and the women there blatantly told us it would look bad and to pick another color. We didn’t. Then they gossiped and made fun of us in vietnamese for the next hour. Crappy crappy empolyees.
Go somewhere else, this place isn’t worth your money or time.
also the guy that did my pedi picked his nose than touched my feet. Yeah.

I first got a pedi here and though the girl was pretty thorough with my toes, she didn’t scrub my foot calluses much and when she did, the pointy tip of the pumice kept scratching into my inside ankle because she was rushing and not paying attention! (If I had diabetes like my mom, the bleeding wouldn’t have stopped)
About 3 days ago, I decided to go in for an acrylic nail fill. I got the same woman I had for that pedi. I didn’t like the experience. She was too rough on the new growth, which can damage future nail growth, and not only was the acrylic very thick and unreal looking, she failed to place any acrylic on the sides of most nail beds. Because it was a holiday, I just returned to have her repair them today and she almost didnt do anything to fix them. Finally, she repaired two of them… I was so fed up with the place that I didn’t say anymore and when I left, decided not to return ever. It’s just not worth it $ if you’re not getting good work that doesn’t hurt or need repair. Also, they didn’t give me a receipt for my records.
I should’ve read Unilocal reviews BEFORE I went. I’ve learned my lesson.

I really hesitated to come here based on the low reviews. But in an effort to go some where close I brought my sister, my 3 year old, and my two nieces who are 7 & 6. I got french mani with gel polish and regular pedicure. My sister got regular pedi and solar nails and the three little ones got their nails polished. They were very accommodating. The 3 year messed up her nails really bad. I paid for it anyway because it was only $ 5. One of the ladies took the polish off and re polished them for the little one. I was also really happy with my nail job. Very pleased with the service.

I stopped in to get my eyebrows done and was not impressed. It really didnt feel like she was taking much off, even though they were pretty bushy. When she was plucking them for the final touch up it still didnt feel like she was actually taking any hair off. I left with wax still on my face. And to top it off my eyebrows have no shape/​arch to them — I have weirdly straight eyebrows now. My only consolation is they will grow back and I can try again somewhere else.

This is a surprise to see reviews as low as a 2, seriously. I went to this spa for the first time in September and was thoroughly pleased with the service and pedicure. I am a teacher who has abandoned my feet, and the lady who took care of my feet was the best ever. My feet had NO more hard dead skin! I will definitely be back!

I went here 2 days ago to get my solar nails removed (which I got done at my usual place not here) and I was MORTIFIED at the fact that they didn’t soak my nails in acetone and anything they just grabbed some tools and started to peel/​rip my nails off! I couldn’t believe what my nails looked like after, they ripped my nails off down to the skin and took off LAYERS of my REAL nails. It was so traumatizing, I will not go back

The lady I work with purchased me a gift certificate for my birthday!
I received another great deluxe pedicure and had my gel nails filled! A different lady did my pedicure this time and it was good but, I like the other lady better.
They were busy when I arrived and their was only two girls but, I didn’t care because the Bachelor came on and it just meant I got to sit in the massage chair soaking my feet for an extra half hour! Who could complain about that?
I was the last one to leave and it was pouring rain outside and I had to put my shoes on. I didn’t want to chip my pedicure and the ladies were like don’t worry if it chips come back and we will fix it for free! How nice was that?

I’m really kind of torn on this one, because my nails did end up okay at the end. My beef here is for sanitation.
I should have known better when it all started.
When I walked in everyone seemed to not really want to be there.
I was sent over to a lady who was talking on her phone, had her shoes of and had her bare feet up on my chair. I thought to myself that okay she will probably wipe off the seat first… no.
in between coats of shellac she literally took her shoes off again and began massaging her feet with lotion while talking on her cell phone. I am thinking to myself that okay she is going to go wash her hands before continuing on with my nails… no. Without skipping a beet she goes straight from her feet to touching my hands… cringe* I really had no time to react.
Last but not least I watched her knock over a tray of tools, to which she proceeded to pick them up off the ground and put them right back into there tray and back onto the clean table to be used without thinking «hey maybe I should sanitize these?»
Again the manicure was not bad, not great but not bad. I will probably never be back though because of these sanitation issues.
All I can do now is hope the tools she used on me were actually cleaned first.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.
