First time at this salon. Pedicure only. The technician took her time and was very thorough. One of the best pedicures I've had in a long time. I'll be back! read more

They do a thorough pedicure. And it is nice to be able to walk in at most times. My nail shape was not my favorite.

I have never done my nails as great as Vivi does, I am a million times thankful for Vivi!

I was able to call and make an appointment day of and even arrived a couple minutes early but was still sat down immediately. I got a gel manicure by Oanh and she was great and very speedy. The salon was very nice, looked clean, and everyone seemed to be friendly. Will definitely be going back. read more

Missed coming here due to the pandemic & finally came back to treat myself for my son's graduation on Mother's Day weekend. Katy is my go-to & she did a great job on my blue French tips (Shellac)! Someone recognized me during my vacation as a return customer because of my nails! read more

Tips N Toes Spa - French (Shellac) manicure w/blue tips - Nail Salons Near Me - San Ramon, California

My daughter and I went to this place yesterday for the first time to get pedicures and our experience the entire time was very positive. They did a wonderful job and took their time. They did not speak amongst one another which I thought was professional of them. It was overall a very relaxing experience. They also keep the place clean and were seen disinfecting after each client. Tips: they don't tip from credit card, and cash is much appreciated and recommended. We will definitely be returning! read more

I came here with my daughter for acrylic nails for Homecoming. Ann was really good and did a great job on my daughters nail. I took away one star as we had a 1:00 appt and didn't get called back until 1:10 and they didn't start the mails until 1:20. She did apologize so that was nice. read more

Clean, professional and hard working, I enjoy going here. Pricing is as expected for our area. I also like the variety of clientele and how the staff is respectful to everyone read more

I felt like this was the most rushed manicure of my life! 1.) The nail technician literally ripped off all of my acrylics and broke two of my nails. It was noticeable that I was in a significant amount of discomfort, but she would pull my hand back and say "almost done". 2.) I selected a gel color that looked good on the swatch, but after she put it on one nail, it didn't look as good as on the swatch, so I asked if I could change it. She rolled her eyes and wiped my nail off (with her finger) and then asked what color I wanted instead. I didn't realize changing the color after only painting ONE nail would be such a burden. 3.) My cuticles were over trimmed, with two fingers left with open cuts. 4.) Some polish was left on my fingers after she finished my manicure 5.) I'm going to be picky here, but she spent maybe 2 minutes total on my hand massage... All in all, my nails do look nice, however it was such a bad experience and the customer service by the nail tech was terrible. $36 for acrylic removal & gel manicure (paid in cash, 10% discount) read more

My manicure was well done in a professional manner with courteous service. Attention to cleanliness

Went to Tips N Toes to get a pedicure and brought my mom and my daughter with me. When we checked-in they asked us to fill out a standard COVID paperwork, checked our temperature and had us wait outside while they set-up our seats. They definitely practice social distancing and have barriers per station. However, one of the things I noticed is that they do not wipe down the stations for the next client (-1 star). The pedicure was definitely rushed and did not feel relaxing as they move you from one station to the other because another client will use the station you are in (-1 star). Lastly, we didn't feel that they provide a good experience. The lady helping my mom sounded dismissive (-1 star) 2 stars for trying to follow COVID precautions and for the decor. read more

I have never had someone do a pedicure the way Oanh did. I have very sensitive feet and she was the only one that ever made it pain free and did a great job. She gave a foot rub line a professional masseuse. She was 10/10. She told me wait 15 mins for it to dry. 8 mins in , the manager or owner was asking for my money and spraying my chair with chemicals telling me to leave. She ruined the whole experience. She was so rude that she kicked me out of the store with napkins in my toes still. She is a horrible person. I wish I got her name. She ruined the whole experience for me. They had 10'chairs open while she was kicking me out with her spray bottle. read more

New update: Changed my review from 3 to 4 , because someone really from their end messaged me immediately and responded to my concern. He was apologetic on behalf of the team and also explained the situation was due to cultural differences ( which I understand coming from another asian community) . They took necessary measurements to avoid any further situation like this... which I think speak a lot about how much they care about their customers and retaining them. I will definitely go there again to give it a second try as suggested by him and hope it will be worthwhile. Old review: Well, the experience is pretty mixed. Went here for the first time since i was in a crunch of time and couldn't go to my regular "go to"place. The place looks well done, well lit, good interior and a smiling friendly lady helped us settled for our service. I took my 11 yr old son for a mother son pedi ( he has stumpy toes which needed professionally trimming to avoid any ingrowth). This was his first and he was super excited. They made us sit next to each other which was pretty thoughtful. The ladies were really sweet and throughout the process she made him comfortable and asked him to look away or talk to me if he felt ticklish. As for the package, it was the basic spa pedicure so I wasn't expecting bells and whistles but I somehow felt it was rushed. They just scrubbed the bottom of my feet ( with soap and a soft scrubber) without even picking up the foot scrubber to take off the dead skin. My son didn't have any so it makes sense for him but i for sure knew i had and one of the reasons i do pedicure is for a good foot scrub. I went back to the website to see if that service was in other expensive packages ( so i don't accuse them for anything that wasn't promised) but it was never mentioned in any of the packages. So my assumption is it should have been part of all the three packages ( honestly that's something that cant be skipped in a pedicure). Next, the lady who was working on my son asked him his age. He mentioned he is 11 to which she said she has a daughter of that same age. Then out of the blue she asked me my son's weight. We both were shocked, i was taken aback to an extent i didn't know what to reply while my son was smart enough to say " i dont know" and thus left the conversation there. But he told me he was hurt and it was very rude of her to ask that question. I told him to forgive and forget and consider it as her ignorance. I truly feel she had no intention of hurting its just her curiosity... and unaware of the etiquettes . I didn't want to bring it up there because I didn't want to embarrass her or put her or her job at risk. We are all trying our best to feed our families. Hence I wanted it to be anonymous. I would like to appreciate that they charged me less for my son's service as he skipped the nail paint. Also the fact that they give a discount if you pay cash. read more

I started coming to this salon a few months ago in looking for something in the San Ramon area. Been here about 5 or 6 times now, and want to list out my thoughts starting off with the PROS before the CONS. Before going into the details, I want to state: I always give a business the benefit of the doubt and to try a few different people when going to a nail salon before officially writing a bad review. I really wanted to keep coming to this place, but the last 2 times going here, really left me with an unhappy feeling and I just cannot go back. PROS: * The owner Jenny: She is SO KIND, caring, really genuine I wish everyone here had her work ethic. Every time I have called, come to the salon, or talked to her, she has been so wonderful in every way. Happy, smiling, and treats her employees so nicely. This is rare and refreshing to see a manager treating her staff so well and with respect. * Prices: great prices for manicures and pedicures. * VERY clean. From the manicure seats, brushes, tools they use on your, and to the pedicure sets. * Someone picks up the phone when you call. * Open Sunday. Finding a nail salon open on a Sunday, is actually is hard to find. CONS: * Most of the people that work here seem very inexperienced. Nail art is the new normal now, or so you would think. Especially during the holidays, you want a little something to show some sparkle or stand out. The past 3 manicures, I have asked for a little French manicure, start, or some glitter. All of the people who did my manicures, really struggled for simple designs. Sitting there for over an hour and a half, for a manicure that should be 45 mins. * Mis-treating cleaning cuticles and buffing nails: The last 2 times I have gone here, everyone that buffs my nails have been so aggressive and buffing down my nails way too hard and my nails were thinner afterwards. I went today and had to tell the woman (Kim) she was being too hard, buffing my skin too hard, and pressing too hard. She told me "RELAX" and shook my hand. I had to tell her, she was being too rough and hurting my nails. She replied "oh, so go gentle??". It is shocking to have to tell someone they are going to rough, as I would think they could sense they are buffing aggressively. * With nail-art being a common request at nail shops, the last 3 people I have asked to do simple French manicure or details on my nails struggled big time. Showing a picture, asking if this is do-able, yes or no. I would be fine with that vs working on my nails for over an hour and completely changing what was presented. I had to come back to get it removed and redone. Jenny (manager) was very kind and accommodating. Not trying to repeat the first bullet point, but I wanted to illustrate: nail art is COMMON. If someone cant do it, please advise and pass along to someone in the shop that can. I have had many experiences before, where a nail technician couldnt do design, I waited a few minutes for someone else , done, Happy. * My nails ALWAYS have nail polish all over my cuticles and fingertips when I leave. I would think as part of a basic manicure, cleaning nail polish that may have got on your cuticles or fingers, would have been removed easily? There have been a few times where I walk out and look at my nails in the car, and find nail polish on my cuticles and had to clean them getting home. * Lastly, rude comments: today was the last straw with this location and I will NOT come back. Nina, the woman who did my nails was making sarcastic comments to me. A few of her comments today with a very sarcastic tone: "Are you happy today?", "You are very lucky you came in early, cause if it was busy, I could not have done your nails. Just know you are so lucky." I commented back to her, "I had an appointment and what if it happened to be busy with an appointment (like my usual)?" Her response: "I would NOT have been able to do anything on your nails and couldn't do it." I was appalled how confident and rude she was. I asked the manager Jenny after my appointment asking and passing along the comments I received from Nina. The manager said shocked "We most definitely would have accommodating any nail art". The manager has always been so kind and sincere every time I have come here, but the over-all picture: the staff kills my experience treating myself for a nice mani and/or pedi. I will find somewhere else to get my manicures and pedicures. read more

I love to get my pedicures done here!! They have loads and loads of colors and do a great job cutting shaping and cleaning up those toes!!! I haven't had my nails done due to the line of work I am in but they seem to do great! Make sure to call for an appt because they are busy. They also offer 10% off for cash paying clients but never pressure you or give you a hard time if you pay with card read more

Bad quality. One acrylic broke the next day. Each nail had different shape? And I asked the technician why she said it's because I filed them myself and next time I come in for fill she will fix the shape. Really? Why not now? The lady was rude and rusheWill not be back. _____________________________ Review update: I was invited to fix my nails and I must say that lady doing it did a really good job. For next time I think it's better to always ask for gel with acrylic, never regular nails polish - it's stronger , looks better. I recommend after all. :) just wish this service happened to me the first time walked in there. read more

Been to this place twice. First time was during the week when the place wasn't crowded and I was told they were too busy and they didn't offer to make an appointment and today, again, as a "walk in" they asked me what I needed when I asked to have one nail fixed I was told they were to busy and that they had customers waiting as she pointed to a woman who walked in moments after me. Kind of weird that this seems to happen whenever I go and I'm starting to think it's because of something else. Every business has the right to refuse service, however, shouldn't there be a reason why??? read more

Great price for a good pedicure. This is my go to pedicure spot in San Ramon. They always do a good job and I leave a happy customer. I enjoy the foot massage and my feet look nicer than when I came in. Use cash and get a discount. read more

I visited Tips N Toes Spa for the first time today. Cute place! Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Really friendly, caring and efficient staff and accommodating for special requests. Positive vibe! I received a gel mani and pedi and I'm so glad I found this place. Also, they have SO many available colors!!

Great service, so friendly, always accommodating. They are cash only and there are no ATMs around the business so come prepared.

Staff continue their conversations with each other in front of the customers in a foreign language. The massages were too short. It basically felt like a foot rub and not a massage. Too pricey. Did not feel relaxing at all. The smell of acetone was overwhelming. read more

I just got my nails done at this place and I totally recommend it. It was my first time here and I'm super happy with the service. Oanh did a gel manicure for me. She was awesome overall, very detail oriented and methodical. She took her time, didn't rush and did a stellar job. She was also very pleasant and friendly. Love the place and this is going to be my new regular. read more

Absolutely LOVE this nail salon! I've been going here for almost 3 years now. I used to live in San Ramon and that's how I found out about this place. I moved almost a year ago about 50 minutes away and tried to find a new nail place but nothing compares to Tips N Toes. I now make the commute every other weekend to come here. Lily is my go to girl. She is always very precise and does not rush through the process of painting my nails like other salons did. This place is always very clean and the girls are all very nice. They have a ton of colors to choose from too. read more

Great first experience, super professional. The spa is clean and relaxing. I had the best pedicure ever.

I usually get my pedicure done in SF Union Square cheaper ($40 instead of $50 here) and they do a very good job within 30 minutes. I have been looking for a new nails spa that is comparable to what I'm used too. This place is pricey but I thought I would give it a try. The customer service was fine. Everyone was professional and nice. However, the pedicure I got wasn't great. I was disappointed because this is the 3rd nails spa I have been to in Danville/San Ramon area. I always ended up going back to SF to get them redone. I feel the technician I got wasn't skilled. She took much longer time like an hour but the results came out not great. Overall it's a nice salon. It's just not for me. read more

A little self-care can go a long way to lift your spirits after a rough week. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. I walked in wearing gym clothes and was told the salon was fully booked. I called as soon as I left and I was told there was an opening at 4pm. The judgmental staff is not worth the end results. I would never go back to a place who takes clients based on their appearance to tip. read more

I usually like it here but I went yesterday and they used an old bottle of nail polish that was too thick and insisted on putting it on anyway. I could tell it would take forever to dry and already looked uneven. That was yesterday. Today, I wore shoes and look at my pedicure! Ugh. And my manicure already chipped because it was so caked on. Management should give me a refund because now I have to remove the whole thing and do it myself. read more

This place used to be really good. It's been a while since I've been and I went in to get a mani/pedi today to treat myself. The lady who did my pedicure did a decent job, but the lady who did my mani was absolutely awful. The only reason I gave one star is because it was the lowest rating I could give. She spent less than 10 minutes with me and I swear she was the most unhappy human I've ever met. I felt like she was taking her anger out on my poor fingers. I normally have long nails and I always keep the shape somewhat square. She completely chopped my nails off and rounded them all out. Not only that, but she was extremely aggressive with the cuticle clippers - this is where I felt like she was taking her anger and aggression out. My fingers barely soaked and she didn't even put any cuticle oil on them. She just went straight to town the the clippers. Not only did she do an awful job, but she ripped the skin off my middle finger. She didn't say a word to me the entire time and didn't even apologize for making me bleed. Then, somewhere within those 10 minutes, my thumb got a little messed up (probably from her aggressiveness of throwing my hands and fingers around) and she didn't even attempt to fix it. I've had many many many mani/pedis in my lifetime and this was by far the worst. She was so fast and aggressive that I couldn't even enjoy it. She also happened to be one of the few people working there with no name tag, so I couldn't catch her name. When she was done, she literally walked off and completely peaced out. Let's put it this way, it was so bad I didn't even leave her a tip (which, I've never done before). After today, I will never come back here again. If you want to actually relax and enjoy your mani/pedi's (and not have your skin ripped off your fingers), I highly recommend you go somewhere else. If the business is reading this, she was the lady wearing the black and red shirt with the bad attitude and no name tag. read more

Tips N Toes is my go to nail salon. It's clean, spacious and they consistently do a great job. They have 9 comfy massage/foot soak chairs, so it's pretty easy to get the appointment time you want. I always call ahead a couple of days as they seem to be fully booked on the weekends. I also like that they give you a little discount if you pay cash. The price for a regular pedicure is so reasonable. Don't forget to bring cash for the tip even if you are paying with card because they only take cash tips. I have had pedicures with 4 or 5 different nail techs here, but my favorite is Lily! She is so sweet and gives the most thorough pedicure. The color selection is pretty good, but every once in a while I want my own color and they are happy to accommodate. They offer both regular and gel pedicures and manicures, so no matter what you want they've got you covered. Come here if you want a pleasant nail salon experience at a good price... and ask for Lily :) read more

I've come to this salon about 3 times and my most recent time was by far the best. Typically the place is packed on the weekends so I would definitely recommend making an appointment. I had time on Wednesday morning so I decided to stop by around 10am and they took me in right away. Lyna did my nails and she did a really good job. She was a little slow but meticulous which I actually appreciated. I paid $38 for a fill with shellac polish which is a decent price and I really love the look of my nails. Only downside I would say is that they don't have a crazy large selection of gel colors like other shops I frequent do. read more

As always, Tips N Toes exceeds all other nail salons in service and cleanliness. All technicians are polite, friendly and excellent at what they do. They do their very best in accommodating customers who wait last minute to book a service. They are taking very safe Covid measures. They take your temperature, have hand sanitizer at every station, everyone is masked and socially distanced with spaces in between chairs. I haven't even considered going back to any other salon since my first visit several years ago. read more
