Tip-Toe Nail Salon

Since moving here from out of state, I have been searching for «my» nail salon. I tried a handful of nail salons, but this has been my go to since my first visit. Jessica always does a great job, and is much more thorough with her manicure than other places I have been to. The prices are fair, and you can easily schedule appointments online. Credit cards are also taken, which is a great help for those who don’t carry cash. Overall a great place!

I made an appointment based on previous Unilocal reviews. So glad I did! This place is clean and Jessica is very nice and always does a great job on my nails! She will always find a way to accommodate your schedule.

Finally, I have found the nail place where I can rely the most. Love Jessica for all my nails doing, it’s perfect without any flaws. Jessica is lovely and nice. Her patience is absolutely better than other nailist and her talents will definitely not disappoint you. You can always text her and tell her about your need and she will try her best to squeeze out some time for you.

This place is located on the 2^nd floor, above Salon Red, up a narrow stairwell. I walked in on a Saturday morning and there were only 2 staff members and 3 clients inside: One was getting her eyebrows waxed, the other was about to start a manicure while the 3^rd was sitting by the door with foil covering the tips of her fingers.
The place had a clean, minimalist feel to it and could easily be mistaken for a one bedroom apartment, It was very quiet… a little too quiet. Where was the rest of the staff? Surely there had to be more people working here on a weekend.
I asked about pedicure service and if/​when someone would be available to do mine. One of the shop employees politely but nonchalantly replied that, «No one will be available for a looooong time.» No recommendation to make an appointment or come back at a certain time. Nothing.
Welp, so much for that. I won’t be back.

I went to Tip Toe Nails this morning for a gel manicure after reading so many great reviews on here. Jessica was very nice and did a great job on my nails!
The salon is very clean and calming and sits on top of Salon Red. I really liked my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Thanks, Jessica! :)

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Tip Toes. Jessica is very friendly and did a wonderful job on my pedicure. My daughter had a manicure and wanted multiple polish colors and Jessica was very kind and accommodating.
The salon was very clean, neat and comfortable. It was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

As stated in other reviews, Tip-​Toe Nail Salon is above Salon Red but it’s not too hard to find. Enter Salon Red and take the stairs up a floor. If you get lost, just call and you Jessica or Katrina can help you.
Two friends and I came a month ago to get pedicures. Jessica and Katrina were really nice and did a wonderful job! My nails still look as glossy as the day I had them painted! They scrubbed off the harder parts of your feet, gently massage them, and moisturize afterwards. My friends thought the lotion felt a bit greasy but I was fine with it. You can also turn on the massage chair for an even nicer experience.
What I especially love about this place is how sanitary they are. The tools get put in a blue sanitizing solution after being used on you. Also, between pedicures, they wash the drain cap to the foot rub and switch out the disposable plastic cap. If you don’t wear open toed shoes, they’ll open a pack of disposable foam slippers for you to wear while our nails dry.
For $ 30, it’s definitely worth the service. Next time I get a pedicure, I’ll get the manicure with it. I’m in love with this place!

This is my third time having my nails done here and I am always happy! I love Jessica she is the owner and her sister is just as wonderful! The spa is modern CLEAN, and fun! One of my favorite things about the spa is they put a plastic covering in the pedicure tub and change it after each client. Jessica and her sister are sweet and talented! My best friend recommended this place to me and I will recommend it to anyone who needs a permanent nail salon to go to in the Gaithersburg area!

I tried out Tip-​Toe after reading the wonderful reviews about it on Unilocal.I brought my mom who was in town visiting and also my brand new week old baby in his carrier. I made the appointment by texting back and forth with Jessica who was SO helpful and wonderful!
The salon is UPSTAIRS of salon red — unfortunately there is no outdoor sign, so we had a bit of difficulty finding the place, but Jessica helped us locate it :)
The salon is gorgeous and quiet. Completely clean and well taken care of. It was just Jessica there that day and just my mother and I in the whole salon. There was nice background music and plenty of room for us and my son in his carrier.
Jessica did my gel mani as well as my moms pedi at the same time — I got wrapped and waited while my mom got her pedi done. She did wonderful, so kind and really took her time on both of us :) I loved being able to actually chat back and forth with my manicurist, really allowed us to bond rather than just sit back in silence, or worse sit back while the manicurists talk in their foreign language.
It’s been 2 weeks (tomorrow) and my nails still look wonderful. My mothers pedi came out awesome, she chose OPI so the color will stay awhile!
Jessica uses her phone and a card scanner to pay with credit/​debit where you can put a tip ON the card! YAY!
Thank you Jessica!

Tip Toe nails is the place to go. Jessica is amazing and always makes sure that I am taken care of. You can not beat the price and the quality of service is the best. I have been going to Jessica for many years and she has become a great friend. If you are looking for great service, perfect price point, clean salon, and wonderful conversation… the is the nail salon to go to.

This is my go to location for mani and pedi! Katrina did an awesome job on my nails for engagement photo shoots, showers, and wedding receptions. The designs are on point and received lots of compliments. Always made me a happy camper.

Yes, yes, yes!!! After about an hour of searching Unilocal for a good place to go, I decided to give this place a try. Katrina gave me a pedicure and it was great.
My feet tend to get pretty rough and worn from wearing heels all week. Katrina used a razor to get all the roughness off, used a scrub and then went back over my feet with a scrubber. When it came time for the lotion, she spent a good 3 minutes per foot giving me an amazing foot massage. Once again, due to wearing heels all week, this is something I always look for when getting a pedicure. I feel so relaxed and recharged. All for $ 30.
The salon is small and quiet which makes for a nice, personalized experience. I texted the owner to make my appointment but you can book online too. They were on time with my appointment and very clean.
I highly recommend this place!

Jessica & Katrina are the BEST! I always leave with a flawless manicure (or monthly pedicure). I’ve been a client for 5 years and have been very pleased each and every time. That’s over 250 manicures & 50+ pedicures: D They are amazingly consistent.
Tip-​Toe offers a wonderful array of colors, always up to date in both traditional and gel finishes. They take sanitation very seriously. Appointments are easily to make thru Schedulicity.
