Agree with other reviewers the vibe is great, no tv but radio on low, clean and cool. Fresh tools out of autoclaving bag, great foot and leg massage included in the price. People were coming in for manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxing - some with appointments but many walk-ins too. Prices seemed reasonable and posted on the wall. The technician was friendly, expert and didn't charge extra to remove old (gel) polish. Other clients were friendly, too. Great pedicure; I will be back!

Review for Tips and Toes Nail Salon - April 2025…read more I visited Tips and Toes with my daughter for a mother-daughter day. We were looking forward to some quality time and self-care, and while the technicians were kind and the work itself was well done, I left the salon feeling taken advantage of due to the pricing and lack of transparency. Before going, I estimated the cost to be around $350, including tip--a generous allowance for what I expected. However, I was charged $467.31, including a 30% tip. I didn't have time to review the total immediately, as we had other appointments. Later, I returned to ask for an itemized receipt because the amount didn't feel right. Here's what was listed: * Daughter's gel pedicure - $70 * My full acrylic set with gel polish (hands) - $75 * Daughter's dip manicure - $65 * My full acrylic set (toes) - $60 * Classic pedicure add-on for my toes - $49 * Nail extension for daughter's dip manicure - $10 * Gel color add-on for my toes - $20 This brought the total for my toes alone to $129, despite the fact that I had already done all prep work myself the night before, including cutting cuticles and removing calluses. I simply wanted a full set of acrylics on my toes--not an additional $49 charge for a classic pedicure that wasn't requested. What's more, when I asked about pricing for future fill-ins, I was quoted $65 for hands and $110 for toes. I've never been charged anything close to that price for fill-ins on my toes in the past, and I've been getting my nails done for decades. At no point were prices posted anywhere in the salon or clearly communicated to us before services were rendered. If I had known that a full set on my toes would cost $129, I absolutely would have declined. That kind of expense was not foreseeable and, in my opinion, not clearly justified. The experience has left me feeling misled and disappointed. I believe in paying fairly for services, but customers deserve upfront transparency. I hope the salon considers posting visible pricing and being more communicative with clients about add-ons and their associated costs before starting services. I truly wanted to leave this salon feeling pampered and peaceful--but instead, I left with a sense of being taken advantage of. I'm sharing this in hopes that it encourages better practices for future clients.

They don't reuse a lot of the tools and had Super clean stations. I was very pleased with my nails they left me feeling like a new woman. I also got a pedicure and handled my toesies kindly. We're from out of town but we're excited to have a place away from home that will exceed our expectations.

Anna is SO sweet and extremely talented. She does not rush or skip over steps and she is also hilarious. I have tried countless nail salons in Charlottesville and have never been satisfied until I found this place. I prefer dip powder and they had so many color options and her technique was amazing. Definitely the best quality dip manicure you can get in Charlottesville. It's clean, quiet, and peaceful. I don't have enough good things to say! FYI: you can't tip on a credit card so bring cash! They also don't take AMEX or discover GO HERE!

I had been to another salon that was rated highly but I just wasn't impressed. Since I found Anh, I haven't gone anywhere else! Anh opened her studio in July of 2022 and will be taking all her clients there from now on, instead of working at her previous salon (not to say names but it sounds similar to dead bandits). If you love a good nail design and someone who takes their time with your manicure you need to go see Anh! She was very detailed and makes sure I get exactly what I want! She's working on building her clientele up and I know she'll do great because her work speaks for itself! She now does both manicures and pedicures! She can do gel, acrylic, or dip! Check her out on Instagram! @hoang.anh1606

The salon is in inside the artists apt in a nice building and a very safe area. She's good with nail art.

And when the one employee who stood up for her spoke out? Fired. Because clearly, protecting fragile egos ranks higher here than basic decency. Maybe they should spend less time policing hair textures and more time learning how to treat all customers with respect. Until then, if your hair doesn't fit a narrow definition of 'acceptable,' do yourself a favor and go somewhere that won't make you regret walking through the door.
