Tiptoes

The quality of work is so bad, the color is uneven, and I feel like they were rushing it. Btw, their staff have attitude problem.

Not the best nail salon! But not the worst. I come here primarily because it’s ten steps from where I live. I’m lazy, what can I say?

Came in for a quick manicure over my lunch break and found this place to be a quick and convenient. Highly recommended!

I was very excited to come in, I got gel extensions with my sister for thanksgiving and I wanted to do it again for christmas. I specifically asked over the phone if they did gel extensions and they said yes, so I made my appointment.
I go in, they replace the one extension that had broken off with an acrylic nail and glues it to my finger as well as the nail. Also, she filed my nails slanted and at slightly different lengths.
Originally, I was okay with these little things because the nails looked nice enough and gel polish is supposed to last for a while so I didn’t mind the price. Not even 1 day later, my nail started to chip. My appointment was at 2, this picture was taken at 7 and my thumb has already chipped.
The women were really nice and talkative, but I am disappointed by the work that was done.

I come here for manicures and pedicures. Clean and quick. You can get regular, long wear, and gel manicures here. They do an excellent job in making sure that they don’t get any polish on your cuticles and my manicures last a long time. Prices are average to the slightly lower end for the area. Can find slightly cheaper services elsewhere, but not at any place as new and clean as Tiptoes or with the same level of professionalism and speed. They take pride in their level of skill.

Really friendly, really clean, great mani/​pedi. They didn’t let my gel mani cover my cuticles and they thoroughly wiped my toe nails with acetone before applying base coat to make sure there were no oils left that would make the paint chip off. Perfect!

The salon is very clean and my nail tech pointed out the thickness of my acrylics.

I called at 5 today asking if I needed to make a reservation if I wanted to come in within the half hour and I was told not to make a reservation. Walked in at 5:35 and they pretended like I never called and told me to wait 20 minutes. I left but 3 minutes later called back to make a reservation for 6. They told me no, I couldn’t come in until 6:15. Very frustrated.

Usually pretty good nail salon but call ahead. Their pedicures are amazing and everything always seems clean. Expensive – but hey, that’s DC for you.

I have gone to Tiptoes 3 – 4 times now for gel manicures and they have yet to disappoint. After visiting a number of places where my manicure started chipping a few days after getting it done, this was a welcome change. They are quick and do a quality job. I have also gotten my eyebrows done here a few times and have no complaints.

I was given a $ 5 off promo flyer for Tiptoes, so I went to get my eyebrow and lip waxed. It was a pretty weird experience — and I should have been suspicious that the glowing 5-​star reviews on here are written by people whose very FIRST reviews are for this place.
The girl who did my wax service: 1) never prepped my skin with baby powder before the waxing began, so the treated areas were extremely red and raw when I left; 2) didn’t bother to trim uneven eyebrow hairs and told me she was «just going to leave those»; 3) worked extremely slowly like she had just learned to do this.
It’s the next day and parts of the skin on my lip are torn and red from poor waxing technique. I’m never going back to this place.

Today, I checked Unilocal and saw that tiptoes had a five star review, so I decided to go and was gravely disappointed. My friend and I both got gel manicures, and when we sat down, instead of soaking our hands, the women doing our nails started cutting our cuticles – without oiling them or soaking them. After mentioning how much it hurt, she asked if we wanted to soak them. Next, they started shaping our nails with tools that had been used so much that other people’s nail dust got all over my nails. She shaped my nails with no consistency. I do a better job when I do them myself. When applying polish, the woman got gel all over my fingers, and didn’t clean up afterwards, so the tips of my fingers are covered in clear gel. My nails are bubbly, the place seemed unsanitary, and the help was not friendly. All around a bad experience.

Great place! I was in desperate need of a manicure and pedicure. Got a regular pedicure and gel manicure. I went in without an appointment and only had to wait a few minutes. Gel manicure was $ 35 which I thought was very reasonable considering this is DC. Pedicure was $ 30 which wasn’t bad either. They do a great job and were very thorough– I didnt feel rushed at all. Everyone was super nice too. All around wonderful experience and I left feeling like a princess! Will definitely be back.

Brand new salon in Foggy Bottom. The staff is extremely friendly and great at what they do! Prices are decent especially for the area. Mani & Pedi was $ 45. Definitely am making this my new go to salon :)
