    Dip powder nails, absolutely terrible!!!

    Terrible service!!! I asked for clear dip. See pic, nails were filed unevenly, this was due to the excessive filing! My nails were left weak and brittle! Gel color was applied, and tech opted to apply 8 coats!!!! And the filing saga continued,making my nails uneven, unnatural, and just awful! !! When I asked politely if shape can improve, tech insisted "she couldn't see an issue, nails were ok". I was in total shock & disbelief!!!! Nothing about my nails "are ok"!!!! Quality of work, is absolutely poor!!!!!

    This salon is very hit-or-miss for manicures. Sometimes the shape and thickness of my nails will be ok, other times they turn out poorly. But it's hard to justify spending $65 on a manicure that can turn out pretty horribly. My manicure today was my last straw. The nail tech seemed to be in a rush and chipped my natural nail twice with a drill. Didn't bother asking what shape I wanted, but I definitely didn't ask for bubbly, misshapen, and uneven nails. The only nail tech for your hands worth seeing is Karen (if I'm recalling her name correctly). She did my nails the time before and they were a beautiful, delicate gel set.

    This was my first visit and I got a pedicure and gel manicure. They did a wonderful job, it was very relaxing and everyone was so friendly. Just what I needed and good location. Thank you so much!

    Tips and Toes will always be my go to salon! Ha, Wendy and Hanna are always so kind and helpful, the most amazing customer service. I always love how my nails turn out, never leaving here unhappy. THANK YOU!!

    I love coming to Tips and Toes to be pampered by Amy. I have been with Amy for years and what I love is how she treats me like her own family. Amy is more than my manicurist, she is my friend who takes care of my hands and feet with thoughtful care each an every time. I can always count on Amy personally texting me to schedule my next appointment and she even reminds me the night before. I look forward to seeing Amy each time because I know she will take good care of me. Each time, my nails are beautiful and unique. I show her my ideas but she always exceeds my expectations! I love all the compliments I receive wherever I go. If you're looking for complete service from a person who really cares about you. You must see Amy.

    Amy does exactly what I ask for!! Perfect nails for me!!!!

    Relaxing pedicure and powder manicure hombre nails. Ask for Amy, she is experienced and fun!

    Luxury candle message oil pedicures

    Got the new luxury pedicure for my birthday/Valentine's Day with my husband. It included all the special services; candle message oil, hot rock message, hot wax, steam, and special things in the soaking tub. What a special treat! Amy & Ann did an amazing job!! Would highly recommend treating yourself to the extra pampering on a special occasion! What a great way to spend a little time relaxing with my hubby!

    I had a relaxing experience today. I tried different colors and nail shape and ombré for the first time! I am very happy with the service. Ha, Wendy and Hanna are very attentive and caring. They are very good at what they do! I recommend Tips and Toes!

    The beautiful salon plus our toes and hands being done.

    I am from out of town and my sister treated our toes and hands to beautiful pedicures and manicures. I had Tommy and she had Selena. Both were kind, caring and excelled at their job. Tommy said he had only been working there for about a year; but he is SOOO good at it!! I had a friend (once upon a day ago) do the added painted strip with her French tip nails; so I did the same thing and made it teal. I love the look so much more than the added jewels (that tend to fall off) and they seem to last much longer as well. Also, I wanted to make mention. You can always tell a salon concerned about the well-being of their customers, versus the ones that don't. This one put individual baggies in the bowls for the pedicures. That really helps to keep down infections and diseases from spreading. Being from the medical field, THIS is very important to me. The prices were a smidge higher than other places; but to have the infection control way down, I believe that it was way worth it. So, ask for Tommy or Serena!!

    This is a beautiful rose. Nail pics will be posted at a later date.

    Such a great first experience at Oasis! I asked for very light pink acrylics, medium length,…read moresquare shape, and something neutral enough for work with an emphasis on clean structure and shape. My nail tech did an amazing job -- the shape, thickness, and overall finish were exactly what I wanted. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the salon was bright, clean, and comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful extras like the purse hook, phone stand, and drinks. I arrived a little late after work, and they were still incredibly accommodating and never made me feel rushed, even though my appointment went past closing. I left SO happy and will absolutely be back!

    Unfortunately I won't be back. I was seeing Anthony for months prior to visiting yesterday and…read morebeing informed that he no longer worked there. With that in mind, I hesitated at setting up an appointment to fix a broken nail with someone new, but needed a fix asap. My pedicure was great-- the technician was detail oriented and continuously asked me for feedback and preferences throughout my service. Unfortunately, my manicure (the primary reason I came, since my nail was broken) was not so great. My nail was cracked on the side, and I suggested just cutting the whole nail and attaching a tip. The technician assured me that builder gel would fix it, and though I didn't agree, I assumed he knew better. The service overall was rushed. The crack in my nail reappeared as soon as I got home, and I noticed how sloppy my french polish was applied. Upon noticing, I called in right away to make an appointment to fix everything the following morning. Today I came in to have the nails fixed, and once again the service was rushed. To fix the broken nail, he added a tip and cut it without first confirming the length. I pointed out that it was shorter than the other nails, but if course, there was nothing that could be done at that point without completely restarting. I let it go, just wanting to be done with the service. He added builder gel and I could tell it was sloppily applied but just let it be. After filling and shaping, the side of the nail was completely filed down and the nail was awkwardly shaped. I pointed it out and he told me someone else would fix it, because apparently someone else was waiting on him, despite me making an appointment ahead of time. I just got up and said I would go somewhere else to fix everything. No one apologized or tried to rectify the situation. I just walked out. Edit: In direct reply to the business owner's response below: In no way was I trying to imply that I was misled into coming into the shop without knowing Anthony left. As I said, I hesitated at first, but made the decision on my own to come in anyway because my nail was broken and I had only been going to this shop for months. I was NOT expecting Anthony or his exact service when I came in. I'd like to erase this narrative that somehow I expected Anthony's service and communication style during this specific service. Based on my original review, I never once implied that. I only expected the technician to 1. Fix my broken nail and 2. Do clean work on my nails. Neither of those objectives were met. I am extremely disappointed in the shift of blame, as if I ever said that I needed someone to spend hours on my nails in order for the service to be deemed "good". In fact, it's one of the things I least liked about getting my nails done with Anthony! He was not fast, but at the very least I was happy with the way my nails looked. It's hilarious to think any woman would PREFER to spend "several" hours in a nail salon give me a break. It's funny how its being portrayed as if I have such impossibly high standards for my nails as if the service was not objectively sloppy (see pictures) !! You "didnt have a chance to recify the situation", but after I pointed out that the nail shape was messed up and told to go to another chair for someone else to fix it, I said out of my mouth "you know what, its fine I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed" I gathered all of my things and no one said anything. After said I would leave, no one said ANYTHING. Everyone moved on, which is fine! But don't make it seem like I just stormed out out of nowhere and no one knew what was going on. No one cared! Shout out to Tammy at D'Luxe nails on Las Positas who was able to see me shortly after leaving the shop and did a fantastic job fixing my nails and giving me a new fresh set (in less than an hour )
