Tiptoes

Love this place! Sharol who helped me with scheduling the appointment was such a sweetheart! I was able to get in last min for a quick mani pedi. They have the most up to date OPi and Essie colors I’ve seen in SF nail salons yet. And let me tell ya… most places DONT! The ambiance and the service overall is very relaxing. Will be coming back here every time :)

Lovely nail, salon with a relaxing, spa feel.
Called in the day of for an afternoon appointment and they were able to fit me in for a mani pedi. The place is very clean and very relaxing. The ambiance is like a zen retreat. They have polish from the top brands like Essie and OPI and a lot of color options. I definitely felt relaxed and loved how my nails turned out too. It was $ 44 for a mani/​pedi, which is a fair price for the quality of the treatment.
They also have a small parking lot shared by other businesses. I had no issues getting a spot.
Would definitely come back again!

Great salon. The staff is friendly and organized and the space is clean, inviting and relaxing to be in. Every manicure or pedicure I’ve gotten has been meticulous and they have a good color selection. One of the best nail salons I’ve been to in the city and I’ve been to a lot!

Do not go here. I called yesterday and was quoted $ 20 for a standard pedi. I came in the following day and didn’t even bother to look at the price sheet because of what I was told by phone. After she finished my pedicure, the technician didn’t even come back to check if my polish was dry and I had to remove cotton between my toes and put my shoes myself. I proceeded to pay and she told me it was $ 28. I told her that I was quoted $ 20 on the phone and she didn’t seem to care and said «well it wasn’t me who told you that» unbelievable. I even looked through my calls to make sure I called the right number the day before. Don’t waste your money here, the pedicure was mediocre anyhow.

I am so torn about this place. I originally left a not so sweet review, felt bad and followed up with a nicer one… but overall I just don’t know how I feel. The manicurists are so sweet. Van is my favorite by far, but the customer service /​front desk is just plain rude. I get 100 calls and texts to remind me about my appointment and then get there and wait for a half hour after rushing out of work. The last time I was 10 minutes late and they told me they would have time for one service or the other (mani or pedi).
For a returning customer… by now i’d expect better treatment. Again, the ladies doing the work are great. Their service is good and they are all so sweet — I don’t want to knock them at all! They just need better management.
Lastly, who is still charging $ 2 PER NAIL for OPI Shine? That’s just ridiculous.
I guess i’ll be back… but i’m so torn.

Been coming here for over a year now for pedicures.
It’s a peaceful, clean, spacious and pleasant location.
I always can get an appointment within a day or so, there’s a great selection of nail polishes and everyone is kind, courteous and professional. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else and highly recommend going here.

Don’t like rushed service. Was a packed day. Still a good salon but will come on a weekday when not busy.
Service was ok. Nails came out basic (could have done a better job cleaning the nail polish on skin). When service was done, just got a «thank you, bye». Was left to fend for myself with wet nails. Used to getting help unfold my pants down, stepping down the pedi chair, and take separators off toes. but then again– it was busy. I get it.
The only gripe was that the nail polish that was put on bubbled!!! No no no. That and the massage was rushed.
Like I said, still a good salon but maybe not on a packed Sunday.

Perfectly adequate. Only a few skin snips at the nail line. Nice staff, though ambivalent– don’t expect pampering. Plus the polishes look to be pretty separated and ancient.

The service was nice and all, but my gel manicure chipped after NINE days! I’ve never had a gel manicure chip at all, and I usually get one every three weeks. Nine days is unacceptable and defeats the purpose of spending the time and money on gel.

Got me in same day, and did a great job multitasking on my tight schedule. Got no chip mani and pedicure within an hour. Women were super professional and did a very nice job. Nice little salon, friendly staff from entrance to techs. Very enjoyable experience and looks great.
$ 73 for no chip mani and regular pedicure.

Lovely experience. They did my hands and toes at the same time which I adore. Did a great job and we’re pleasant. Downside is, very hard to find d parking around there. Gel mani and regular pedi was 68 + 20 tip, so not cheap, but worth it.

I had gotten my nails done at Tiptoes years ago when I lived in the neighborhood. I remembered it as a being cute, clean, and professional, so I booked an appointment when I needed a mani/​pedi close to my office. It was pretty much just how I remembered it!
They clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the décor of the place, and its quite cute. it’s not always as functional as I’d like it to be — the pedicure foot baths are really pretty and modern looking, but they are just bowls perched on a table. When I was there, another customer didn’t realize this and knocked the bowl so a some water spilled. The chairs are comfortable, but they aren’t massage chairs. Slight bummer.
The women who did my pedicure and manicure were attentive and did a great job. My nails are shiny and I have no complaints about the paint job. I was suprised that there was no exfoliant/​scrub, which I’ve come to expect as standard.
The cost was a bit step — $ 40 for a gelish manicure and $ 25 for a pedicure. I don’t get my nails done often in SF anymore, but in Palo Alto I can get a pedicure and gelish manicure for under $ 50 in a similar type of salon, that includes a scrub and paraffin wax.
Tiptoes is a good choice if you want a cute atmosphere and simple but well done nails. If you’re price sensitive, you may want to look around a bit more.

For a 68 dollar pedicure NOT including tip (something callee something for tired toesies) I left with rough feet and side cuticles. Nice people but didn’t get what I came for whatsoever whatsoever whatsoever.

I have been their customer for over two years now, and from now on I am not.
My appointment was scheduled for a specific time and I was on time, tho I had to wait for 20 minutes because my manicurist was late. I’ve had another appointment scheduled after that so I couldn’t just sit there and wait for my nails to get done for the rest of the day. It is ridiculous and disappointing. I only have one day off during this week and this salon wasted an hour of my time on my day off. I was just too upset and couldn’t be late for my next appointment, so I just left. Treating their customers that way is not professional and disrespectful to their customer’s time. I was recommending this salon to my friends and family before, but from now on I wouldn’t do so. They’ve lost me as a long-​term customer.

I love this place. It’s a little pricey but Jenny is seriously worth it. She never fails to get all the edges when I get my gel nails done and she makes them so perfect and smooth. I’ve also had Coco once and I asked for some rhinestones on my nails. They fell off but it wasn’t really her fault, I think I’m just not made for rhinestones cus I use my hands a lot. I made an appointment a few days later and Kelly fixed my nails right away. She was quick and efficient but also very friendly and was still able to make my nails perfect.
The front desk ladies, Cheryl and this younger girl with glasses (I haven’t gotten her name yet) are so nice and welcoming. They always greet right away and remember me whenever I return to get my nails done. It’s a really nice atmosphere, nice and quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend this place!

Was ready to try out a new nail place and found this one since it’s close to my apartment. Love the atmosphere, it’s relaxing and clean. Staff was very nice and so patient as I tried to pick which gel nail color I wanted (there were tons to choose from) They have you sit on these super high chairs even for just a manicure but they were more comfortable than they look. My nails turned out great and I am super nit-​picky about them and had no complaints, they were perfect. Will definitely be going back again soon.

I’d give this place 3.5 starts. It’s a really relaxing atmosphere, they bring you tea, and you can make an appt, they are very punctual, have two people working on you, it’s quiet so you can close your eyes and relax.
The downside: they don’t have a huge selection of polish, seems the latest colors are missing and a lot of the polishes are old and thick. The chairs are not massage chairs and are not the most comfortable to sit in, somehow you end up sliding out of them.
Both times I was in, I had to ask them to do a better job on my cuticles, the first time, the woman went back and redid both of my hands, that was just annoying that I had to point it out. Yes I’m very picky and expect my nails to look perfect. The toes looked great and lasted for three weeks though.
The second time, I didn’t catch her in time, she put the polish on and it was on my cuticles and just didn’t look great, I knew it would chip, so I asked them to redo it. She did without complaint, but I’d prefer to relax and not have to ask. My toes looked good, but again the cuticles were not all removed and while the polish is lasting the nails are growing out and it’s obvious.
My old place was just perfect in how they did my nails, but it’s on the other side of the city now so need to find one near me.

I’ve been here twice. Both times for a pedicure. I love how quiet it is here. I’m currently pregnant and appreciate how it doesn’t smell like chemicals here. They take their time with you and you never feel rushed.
Polish has lasted 3 – 4 weeks. If my nails weren’t growing so fast, I think they would last even longer!

I went on Monday, and it was really quiet and relaxing. As soon as you enter it’s so calming and everyone there was welcoming and friendly.
I think for a $ 42 Mani/​Pedi combo this place is worth the hype! Quality service and technicians, plus really clean service– they sterilize all their files and clippers!
I think I’ve found my go-​to salon! I still can’t get over how clean and relaxing the whole salon was!

My best friend and I spent the day pampering ourselves :) We started the day at Suchada Herbal Spa, ate at Source, and then walked over to get our nails done.
My bestie got a gel French Manicure and I got a regular pedicure.
I believe my friend’s session was $ 80 and mine was $ 27.
They did an excellent job on her French Manicure. They took their time with it and made it look really neat and good, and mine was pretty good too, but nothing special to rave about. Our nail techs were very friendly and offered us water.
I really liked the chairs we sat in and the bowl sinks that we put our feet in.
Reason why I didn’t give this place a complete 5-​star rating is because it was a good service but $ 27 is a little high for me: P
