Very quiet and relaxing. Walk-in's welcome! Staff were very nice and did quality work. Hot stone massage was amazing. Everything looks new and clean. Massage chair was excellent! read more

Don't recommend! Men work way too fast while no one is waiting.. chip immediately and don't to a real manicure. Primer is placed way too fast and not fully covered so the chip immediately. And way too expensive for what you get!! Music is too loud and no longer has internet tv.. internet is always down for running credit cards. They took a picture of my card to run later, which I didn't like at ALL! Don't recommend!! There is a woman that works on the weekend.. she's very lovely and takes her time .. no chipping problems and gave a great hand massage!! She gets 5 stars!! read more

made appointment for 11:00. waited for 15 minutes and nobody showed up. Went somewhere else. this is the second time tjus has happened. new place I went to was 20.00 cheaper! tips and toes won't be getting any more business from me read more

10/10!!! Best pedicure I have ever gotten (Tony). I got the milk and honey collagen pedicure and the cuticle removal and attention to detail was like nothing I've ever experienced. Tucked away in the strip mall, I was waiting for a drop off at Plato's closet and this was by far the best way to spend the time. read more

I got a dip manicure and have 6 different cuts around my cuticles and underneath my nail. I told them multiple times they were cutting me but didn't change what they were doing until I started bleeding. It's been over 24 hours and my fingers still hurt. read more

I've been here twice now and have left as a super happy customer both times! It's a little bit on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for -- they do a great job and really listen to what you want. Ask for Lin or Kevin! *edit I would really ignore the previous reviews from 2012-2014, they've changed their staff and they pay a lot of attention to detail. read more

I didn't see a recent review so I thought I should leave one. There was no wait on a holiday weekend, which was a plus. I got a gel manicure and was a little surprised they didn't use acetone first to soften the nail polish before grinding. The staff was friendly and attentive to my cuticles but then weirdly rushed the gel coats. Several didn't have polish extending the whole finger nail length. They corrected one but seemed frustrated that I asked the others to be fixed too. Flash forward to after I left, when I realized several nails were sore from being cut too short and the nail file being rubbed against my skin. One was actually bleeding this morning. I have never had this happen before so would probably go elsewhere next time. read more

Came here on a friend's recommendation. I ended up getting a pedicure, my ten-year-old got her nails done. Staff are friendly, the place is clean, it is a relaxed atmosphere. I'm definitely considering going back. Let me go into a bit more detail on the pedicure. I'd noticed the dry skin on my feet was getting pretty thick, and some of it was starting to flake off. It was getting pretty bad. I considered getting a pumice stone on my own to work on it, but my toenails also needed some work...and in talking with a friend, she suggested I try a pedicure. Let me speak to the men out there: You don't know what you are missing if you haven't had one. First, they have a nice TV in the back, where the pedicure chairs are; it was tuned to a basketball game when we were there. Second, you get complimentary drinks -- water, tea, pop, and so on. Third, the pedicure chairs! There's a basin of swirling water for your feet. You remove your socks and shoes, then roll up your pant legs to above your knees. You get to sit in this comfy chair, with wide armrests and little platforms on the sides to hold your drink or cell phone (oh, they have free WiFi!). Your feet are soaking in the water -- they will adjust the temperature for you -- and the back of the chair has massage devices in it. Not just vibration, but rolling motion, prodding, stretching. It was fabulous. Fourth, they will clip your nails. They are very precise on it. This isn't some hack job like you might do, contorted at your bathroom sink. They also work them over with an emory board, to get rid of any sharp edges. Fifth, they remove any dead skin. Using some gels and a kind of rasp, they soften and remove the outer layers of your calluses, and any dead skin that's just flaking away. This feels wonderful. Sixth, they massage your feet. This is not just a one-time thing, but an involved activity. If you've never had a foot massage, you are missing out. Seventh, they use hot towels to wrap your feet. Between that, and having your feet on the rest while they work on them, and soaking your feet, you get a very indulgent feeling. Eighth, they do a hot stone massage on your legs and feet. This is also wonderful. Lotion, a smooth stone that's been soaking in hot water, and attention paid to your lower legs and feet. Men, please note that you are not obliged to get your nails painted! There's a menu of options for the pedicure: I got a citrus one, which cost around $45. You don't smell like an orange afterwards, though you might pick up such scents while things are going on. There are other options, and I might try another on a future visit. read more

My sister and her girl friends went to this salon last weekend and liked it. I decided to go on a Tuesday night by myself around 4pm. Got service right away. They offered me a drink, but I declined since I was having my nails worked on. I should have asked for one during my pedicure. An older lady did my gel nails. Miami Dolphins themed. She was very sweet and attentive. Not pushy or rude like some places I've been to. She took her time and did a very good job. There was a young man who did my pedicure. I'm sorry he had to see my super ashy hairy legs lol. He did a great job. Massaged my legs for a long time. Did this weird thing with his fingers on my calves. Drying station was ok. I ran the fan about 10 sessions and my toes still weren't dry. I had another appointment to go to, so I couldn't wait any longer. I ended up with some sock/boot looking textures on my captain toes. Lol I don't get mani/pedi often. Maybe under 10 times in my life. I haven't found a place that I've gone to more than twice. Once to try it out. Second to give them one last chance. I'm happy to say after my first visit, I would visit again. We shall see how it goes next time. For gel nails and pedicure it was $51 total. Cleanliness... I'd say about the same as every place I've gone to. Wish it would be more, but just cause I'm picky maybe. read more

Tips N Toes - Got my gel nails done, Miami Dolphins style! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I love this place!! I've gotten full sets with gel, pedicures, manicures, and eyebrow wax here. They are so friendly and funny and i just love these women! They recently had a change in ownership which drastically improved this place. I have been coming here for 4 years and they never ever disappointed me. The prices are great considering what most Woodbury salons want for a full set. read more

This place has gone downhill, it used to be so clean, not so much anymore. My pedicure was ok, not great. No massage.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Tips and Toes tends to pack em in like cattle! I made a 2:00 appt for myself and a girlfriend for mani/pedis at Tips N Toes. At 2:15 we were seated in the pedi chairs to get our feet soaking,along with several other ladies who looked like they had been there for awhile, at 3:00 my pedi started and at 3:15 my friends pedi started... Overall the pedi itself was heavenly, great massage on my feet and legs. She did a great job repairing the damage to my cuticles (I'm a biter) on my mani and for $37.00 I felt like I got more than my money's worth. My major complaint was the over an hour wait for my actual appointment, and the fact that even though they were clearly over booked they just kept telling people to come on in. read more

Accused my 9 year d daughter several times of being too rough on her nails that had just been painted the day before. 3 1/2 nails lost polish. She did nothing to cause the issue. They also didn't seem pleased she wanted a different color. I had her pick a different brand all together so it hopefully wouldn't happen again. We won't be returning here again. read more

They got me in right away on a Saturday morning, and the deluxe pedicure was great. Got hot stones and scrub. Had a quick super basic manicure as well and it they were very gentle. read more

I really, REALLY wanted to give a higher review. I feel badly leaving a poor rating, but if I had read a review that talked about the issues I had, it would have helped me decide. First, let me say that the girl who did my nails did an amazing job. They look beautiful and she was very quick. The problem was, the place was very dirty. There was visible grime on most everything. There was no signs of disinfecting work spaces, and the tools were clearly not cleaned between clients. There were also a few flies buzzing around and landing on everything which was a huge turn off. A woman came in and sat next to me and simply had her short, natural nails painted. When she asked how much, the tech said it was nineteen dollars. The woman getting polished gave her a twenty. When I was paying, I noticed that a polish was listed as costing seven dollars. I was also charged for items not listed (I got a full set of acrylics, and was charged five dollars for normal polish.) The tech who did mine did such a good job I wouldn't have minded paying what was charged-- but some people may. The biggest concern was the lack of sanitation. I will look for a cleaner place. read more

Not ideal for a first time experience! Showed up for our appointment at 4:30 on Wednesday for gel manicures. Walked in and they said it would be a "40 minute wait" when we mentioned we made an appointment it was like a deer in headlights. Checked the book and sure enough our names were in the book. The worker came up and said for the inconvenience she would give us 20% off....when it was already 20% off for services on Wednesday's and when I mentioned that she said "I know" that's not a deal if you ask me! no organization or customer service. They were upset when we paid with our credit cards instead of cash. Last time I checked money is money. Won't be back! Only plus is I like my color! read more

I love this place. Very eager to please their customers and provide good quality services. Always offer a free refreshment. The place itself is clean and neat. The staff is usually pretty good. This is my go to place! Love it! Ask for Michelle. read more

Tips N Toes - Light pink with rose glitter on ombré style, all gel. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

New ownership? Don't recognize the staff anymore. Came about 4 on a Thursday, and it was going to be an hour wait. Came back on Sunday at 11:20 and was told it would be an hour. Tried again at 1:30 and was scolded for not coming back after an hour even though I did not make an appt. Can't run my life around a pedicure! Three strikes and I move on. Used to be my go to salon and I never, ever had to make an appt. If you can't staff for walk-ins, especially on a weekend, you will not last in this industry. Nail Salons are on every corner! read more

Lawrence has been perfectly doing my nails and toes for 20 years. He moved to tips n toes last winter from Turbo Nails because that building is getting demolished. He and the whole staff are very polite and make every experience fun and relaxing. I highly recommend Lawrence!! read more

I had a pedicure at Tips N ToesI decided on the most expensive one as they offer a 20% discount from Monday through Wednesday. Rose did my pedicure and she was Excellent. Very professional and friendly. I booked another appointment in 4 weeks. The shop is neat and clean and are definitely a full service salon for your Tips N Toes! read more

Went to Tips N toes a little over two weeks ago. One of the guys there did my nails. I asked for and paid for a MANICURE. I told him I wanted all the acrylic taken off and start over. He told me "next time you come in, we take off and start new. Let nails grow out more first." They were already too long, and he cut them down! Huh???? I didn't want it done NEXT time, I wanted it done then! He didn't trim my cuticles, no hand/arm massage. All he did was file down my acrylic overlay glob some more over that and then put new polish on. I got home, and noticed not one but TWO of my nails had areas of the acrylic missing, bubbles in the polish, but I figured oh well, next time, I'll just ask for someone else to do it. This past Sunday, I decided to go elsewhere, and not risk having a crappy manicure at Tips N Toes again. The girl ground down all the acrylic, because I told her I wanted it completely taken off. In doing so, we discovered that I had a nasty fungus on one nail that was NOT there two weeks ago! The guy at Tips N Toes just took the tools out of a little box. There was no plastic, nothing to indicate they had even been sterilized. Again, I did NOT have a fungus when I WENT IN to Tips N Toes! I ended up going to a Minute Clinic in Woodbury, and was told they couldn't even prescribe a medication for me. I have to "start with the over the counter stuff first." Now I can't even have polish on that one finger, and it will take a good two weeks before I even know if the anti-fungal cream I had to purchase will even work. If not, I have to see a doctor and have blood work, and have my kidney function monitored in order for them to prescribe me an oral anti-fungal medication! I'll never go back there again! Beware!!! read more

This place has new owners as of about 2 months ago. I'd been coming here for my pedicures on the regular like 3 years or so...walked in 6 weeks ago and SURPRISE new chairs and faces. Okaaay. Good pedi, no complaints. So I came back today. Another quality pedi. It's not like it was before, atmosphere wise...you know the 'typical Asian run nail place' (which I did enjoy actually). It's more spa-like in the pedi area. Quiet. Clean. Nice message chairs that don't launch you out of them or feel like you will have bruises. Disposable liners in the foot tub. Sealed steri-packs for the equipment. Single use scrubby things. Techs are chill, they speak to each other quietly and infrequently in a language I don't understand, but rocked the English while speaking to me. It is $30 for the regular pedi (sans gratuity) at this posting. Took about an hour. She was quite involved, getting the ouchie stuff out from next to my big toes (you know what I'm talking about). Decent message. Solid paint job. Doesn't feel like I'll be leaving with a fungus ya know? Tl;dr? Good, clean, I'll do it again. read more

This is a great shop. True they are almost always busy, but with at least nine other nails shops to choose from in Woodbury the fact that they are still always busy should speak for itself. I get my mani, pedi and waxing all done here. Simon is my favorite, but I hear good things about the other technicians also. read more

When the woman on her way out told me "good luck" as I walked in, I should have turned around.. worst nails I've ever had.. friendly, however didn't shape or paint well. read more

Do not go here for a pedicure. Rude staff, pedicure was quick, rough and not professional. Asked for a recommendation on a color, and the technician was so rude. Wish I would have gotten up and left two minutes into the pedicure. read more

Very clean. Good selection of gel colors.

I went here after my normal nail place was super rude. They were busy at all and got me right in. I wanted a full set with the coffin shape. Tracy was great and even redid a nail for me. They turned out perfect and I can't wait to go back! Very nice chairs! read more

I use to come all the time cause the prices were OK. $18 for a fill... now it is $25 for a fill. Last time i came in i paid $45 for a fill... A FILL. An OPI regular fill. I have been paying ridiculous prices and so obviously i havent been tipping... and its never the best work. i always leave with nail polish around my fingers and the powder under my nails. Im being over charged for sure. I dont want to go here anymore but i cant find anywhere else that is somewhat decent. I wont be coming back here either. But i have to admit, Crystal is the best. Definitely schedule an appointment with her and you'll ba happy. Just keep in mind $45 FOR A OPI REGULAR FILL???????? Crazy. read more

Had a great pedicure (just a basic) which included an awesome leg massage. My toes and feet look and feel great! Superior service, VERY clean atmosphere. My new go-to salon. read more

The prices are alright, $20 for an acrylic fill. They got my nail shape right which I was soooo happy about, unfortunately within a week one of my nails fell off without me even doing anything! Their acrylics chip and get on your fingers a ton. Don't think I'll be going back. read more

This nail salon was unimpressive. I came yesterday to get a pedicure and it was done very sloppily. My chosen nail polish was around the surrounding area of my nails. I paid way more than I should have if I would have gotten the same result by doing my nails at home! read more

The service was excellent. I had a gel mani and pedi. My 2 daughters had a regular mani and pedi. And we all enjoyed it. They are very accommodating and friendly. Customer service is great. They do talk in their 1st language to communicate with each other. But it didn't bother me. read more

I stumbled across this shop hoping to find a new place to go. I had been at my old place about 6 years and it was hard to pull the plug but it was just no longer convenient. I decided to check this place out as a walk in. They said just a few minutes and by the time I picked out my color Nicole was ready for me. They could not have picked a better tech than Nicole to place me with. I have been there a handful of times now and each time Nicole and I chat and laugh through the entire appointment. She takes her time and wants to get it perfect every time. Definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

I seriously love this place; it's the only place that I'll get my nails done. They always take care of me, and I'm greeted when I walk in. I get the Student Discount, which is really nice, and my nails always look wonderful! Julie usually does my nails, and she's super nice. They do waxing there too, and the place is always clean and there are lots of stations to accommodate large parties. LOVE ITTT! Check it out! read more

Not clean, tools were not pulled out of a sealed couch, girl did not do cleanup around nails after she painted them, will not go back. Go to Lexi Nails instead. read more

It seems Tips N Toes has a positive following according to their facebook page, Google reviews, and even a few here on Yelp. They didn't have enough negative reviews to scare me away from trying this place. I don't get pedicures too often, mostly because I find nail salons challenging (the techs speaking non-English and seemingly giggling/laughing at the clients right in front of them). There is a common sense of rudness in most every nail salon I've ever been to. Based on the reviews, I really thought Tips N Toes would be different, but it wasn't. My sister and I went in for pedicures (we made an appointment). Pros: We didn't have to wait long at all for them to start. They offered a complimentary beverage. The place seemed pretty clean. The older gentleman greeting people (owner?) was friendly. Cons: My tech didn't say more than three words to me. He gave me a French pedicure even though I had picked out a color and never asked for French (French manicures cost more). The techs would walk by and say comments (in their language) while looking at my feet, then giggled..then my tech would giggle...(?)...my feet really aren't that gross btw. My pedicure looks odd. I should have made him re-do and put on the color I had asked for, but that would have required me to stay in there longer, and I just really wanted to go. An all-around awkward experience. read more
