First of all, if you are just passing through town, avoid this place completely !!! Possibly the worst experience ever! How do you have me waiting for almost 1 hour and then when I'm sitting at a chair, I get told that they do not do the type of work that I'm seeking (which is to simply repair a broken nail!)! completely unprofessional ! the fruitcake in the front should've simply told me that type of service is not offered from the get go instead of having me sit around like a dummy!! I have never been to a place where they don't do this type of service at this point why even open up a nail salon? read more

Probably the worst service i have ever received anywhere. went in for a simple fill with white French tips with crome and left with half done nails because of how aggressive the nail tech was with my hands and the fact she could not get them shaped correctly. I have never walked out of a salon before and on top of paying 40$ for it. Absolutely awful experience and would not recommend. read more

they were all super friendly, but the nails do not look good. i asked for SQUARE acrylics and they looked like they were a really good shape but when he put the acrylic on it the top of the nails were way to wide and they looked like duck nails. i showed him a picture of what i wanted, the picture had a nice baby pink base color and he gave me a nude. they charged me 70$ for a simple design. the lady who did the design did absolutely amazing free hand work but the guy who put the nails on did a horrible job read more

Perfection. Super friendly, relatively fast, and amazing work. Only ever going here to get my nails done from now on.

I won't be back. I went 2 weeks ago and got my nails done with dip polish. The top coat started coming off after a week. I thought i would give them one more try so I went back yesterday to have new dip put on. My nails look like a 5 year old did them. I'll be posting pictures. At first I thought maybe is was just dip powder on my cuticles but it didn't come off when I washed my hands. After washing my hands I turned to show the girl who had done them and she was no where to be found. The woman sitting at the next station said "you're done". Frustrated, I just paid and left. Maybe I should have hunted someone down to complain but I go to get my nails done to relax. I should NOT have to tell someone how to do their job. I gave them two chances to get it right, I won't waste money there again read more

Just bad..... customer service, dirty, sloppy would never recommend this salon. Many other salons in the area that appreciate us as customers. read more

They are efficient and clean but the way they treat their customers is appalling. Either no one talks to you or the woman at station one is screeching at you. Their payment system is confusing, you have to specify a tip before hand when you pay with a card. Then they told me to pay with Venmo and I decided I'd grab the cash out of my vehicle for the tip and Venmo'd the cost of service. I kid you not the woman at station one started yelling that I didn't send the tip! I was mortified and kind of dumbstruck, so I sent the tip via Venmo and left, embarrassed with half the salon looking at me. I only go to this salon because it's convenient to where I live, but after today, I won't be going back. read more

I have started coming here frequently because it's just a couple minutes to drive. That was my main factor. At first I was getting gel manicures and then I switched to dip. I only get 2-3 weeks before they break, but I am VERY hard on my nails with my job right now. The color and service here is always good though, I don't really chat a whole lot so it's fine. Next time I will ask to cut the nails shorter because I find with 3 weeks after a dip manicure they're just way too long to function. If you come on a weekend you have to get there right when they open to be seen, or you have to come back in 2-3 hours. Make an appointment if you can. Paying cash is the easiest option. One thing I miss since Covid started is that no nail salons will do hand massages anymore or lotion, they just shoo you out the door with dry hands. read more

I wouldn't come back here if you paid me. Staff was extremely rude. The guy doing my nails looked like he would rather be removing his own eyeballs with spoons than be at work. He was extremely condescending and rough. Smudged the wet acrylic on my thumb, and then angrily blamed me for it. My thumb nail broke in half AN HOUR AFTER I LEFT. Came back the next day for a fix (every salon i've ever been to will fix broken or chipped nails within a few days) I was told to wait, sat for HALF AN HOUR before the salon owner comes over to say they will charge me to fix the nail. Guy who actually did my nails never even looked at or acknowledged me. At that point I just walked out. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. I went to get a pedicure and told them I wanted my daughter to just get paint on her toe. The owner, I assume, yelled at me to take her feet out of the water because the don't use the water if they aren't getting a pedicure. I said okay and she took her feet out of the water. The owner kept going on and on about it yelling to me across the salon. I would never come back after how they treated me. Not to mention when you walk in they are never friendly. read more

I went to get my nails done yesterday and I absolutely loved them. The lady I had was very nice and gave me exactly what I wanted. read more

Tip and Toe Nail Salon - I asked for matte black acrylics with a white marble ring finger and I'm very impressed with how they turned out. - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

Went here for the first time last night, I usually go to a salon across town but decided to switch it up a bit. There was only one other person in the whole place, not at all busy for a Saturday. The people working weren't overly friendly but not rude either, just going through the motions I guess. There were 3 of us getting pedicures, it all felt very rushed, one by one as we finished we were sent off to put our feet under tables with fans to dry faster. As we sat there, everyone started putting their coats on and holding their purses as if we were holding them up from leaving, even though there was at least 15-20 minutes left before they closed for the day. Establishment was clean, not overly cluttered. Price was $29 for the pedi, plus an extra $2 if you use a card to pay and they only accept tips in cash. Overall, it was a decent pedi but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here again. read more

Got my nails done with acrylic with my aunt and within 3 days they all fell off i do not recommend this. The nails i got costed $65!! plus a 5 dollar tip ‍ never again read more

Quick and friendly service. I went in to make an appointment and they actually had time right then and there I waited only maybe 5 minutes to begin. Got a full set which came out really great with suggestions from the gentleman who was doing my nails. Loved the experience I've been to a few places before back where I'm from and Id say they are on par with my favorite from back home. They don't do too much fancy stuff, but what they can do is pretty cool! Will be returning. read more

Unfortunately I will never be returning here. I have been to this salon two times, and both times I had to wait over an hour and a half to get a gel manicure. Okay, that's fine.. I didn't make an appointment and went on busy days. However, both times I went they were severely understaffed and rushed through every client. They also kept switching between different clients without washing hands or changing tools. So myself and the girl next to me had the same technician at the same time, prolonging our stay in the salon. When it was my turn I asked for a specific color and she brought a completely different one. When I told her it was wrong, she said it was the one I picked and kept going. My nails are bumpy, streaky, and not the color I chose. The picture below is two days after I got them done and decided to write this review. Please save yourself the time and aggravation and go elsewhere! the only reason why they got a second shot was because their hours are better than most salons in the area. read more

Tip and Toe Nail Salon - Horrible gel manicure, streaky, bumpy, uneven, and not the correct color I chose. - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

I've been so impressed with the Portsmouth location so I thought I would give this one a try- that was a huge mistake. The gentleman that greeted me was extremely rude but decided to wait anyways, I could have done a better job on my nails myself and the salon had an extremely strong chemical smell. read more

This place does a great job on nails but the attitudes of some of the employees could be better. The two men that work there were not very welcoming this time. My friend and I walked in and they asked what we wanted done. I said one mani and one pedi. They then filled up two pedi stations and told us to sit. I then repeated "sorry just one pedi and one mani". The guy then said "you said yes to two pedis". I apologized for the consul on and sat down for a mani with another younger gentleman. This gentleman did not talk to me the whole time besides to tell me how to position my hands. He was very aggressive with turning my hands to his liking and even laughed at me at one point because apparently I wasn't holding my hands out correctly? This experience just felt very weird. Luckily my nails turned out fantastic. All the ladies there, however, are wonderful. read more

A Wonderful Place for a great manicure, pedicure and relaxing treatments hand and foot treatments! I have been here a number of times and referred models here for photo shoots. They do lovely work and I don't hesitate to refer people here. read more

THIS NAIL PLACE SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS!!! They are rude, they give very poor service, and they don't stand by their work. Don't even get a pedicure here. I got a pedicure and I had to come home a do it all over myself. The tech left my feet rough and dry and short changed me on service b/c she was rushed. My daughters service is the real insult. She went in for a fill and got a guy tech, he filed her skin off and cut her, he then proceeded to slap the fill on lumpy and threw polish on top. It was disgusting and all crooked. I took her back the next day to hopefully get someone else and for them to fix their sloppy work. They told me I needed to pay another $10. To put gel on top, okay, she's never had to do that but I did pay another $10. On top of paying for the fill. Two days later her nail snapped off right at the bottom where he did the fill. I went back again and they told me to pay another $5. To fix her nail. Not only am I writing this review but I'm filling a complaint with the board of cosmetology. I was a nail technician and this place absolutely should not be in business. It's a disgrace to the nail service industry. I would not even give this one star but I had no choice to write the review. read more

I had a gift card that I received for Christmas a couple of years ago and when I went in to use it the lady said that it wasn't valid because it has a tear in it. Now I know that it is a couple of years old but it was clearly written and the tear was not on any important information. I was very upset that she didn't even get up to come look at it she just saw the tear and said no plain and simple no! In NH there is a law that states if you purchase a gift card say for $50 and you pay $50 for it with no discounts or any special offers than that gift card can't expire because you paid equal value for it. I hadn't been there in awhile obviously but what o saw didn't impress me so I just left and didn't even argue with her. The place was dirty, the nail dust was everywhere and the tools they were using looked old and broken like the nail buffer that I saw someone using on a lady the file paper on the sides was almost none existent and who knows how many people they re use the tools on without any proper disinfectant. I will never step foot in there again. At least the lady could've attempted to look at my gift card and see the extent of the damage but she didn't even bother just a no! Too bad because they lost 2 customers who get their nails done twice a month read more

I'm not one to ever complain on Yelp, however this time I find it neccessary, I came in after work on a Thursday afternoon, had a mani, pedi, had a nice enough experience, went home. The next day I went tubing down the Saco with daughter. When I got out of the water, both middle fingers, lifted completely off, both pointers and ring fingers had started lifting. I made an appt for Sunday, waited over half an hour to be seen, asked if he would redo my nails, I believed it to be the brand of shellac, fellow employee of Vincent said it was because I had too much on, regardless they started coming off in one day, I expected something, he told me he could redo the ruined ones with the same color, I felt the color was the issue, so that made no sense, he then offered to redo them with a new color but I had to pay, I refused, he then said he could redo them with a new brand different color on the worse nails, are you kidding, I didn't want mismatched nails. I just told him to take the shellac off at this point. The lady came over that originally told me I had to much on, offered to put regular polish on for free, or discount a new set of shellac nails, I just told her to take it off, I will not be back. I was told a company could not run like that, I asked "how, by taking care of a customer that isn't happy with the product you represent, I beg to differ." Very customer service, too bad, they were great when they first opened.... read more

Worst pedicure I've ever gotten. I could have done a better job myself. Extremely unimpressed and I'll be sure to never go back.

I come here all the time to get my nails done. I have a box of my own so the files they use are only used on me. Very clean. Usually very busy. I try to go after work on weekdays but my schedule doesn't always allow that. I've been told several times to "come back tomorrow". Overall great place. Very friendly. They are the only salon I've found in the area that does colored acrylics. I'd definitely recommend read more

I've been a regular client since moving from Chicago area 4 yrs ago. Have never had a bad experience, beautiful pedicures and manicures every time. I've never done anything but traditional polish for both and I bring my own bottles ( I like Chanel, which they don't carry). To note; it's a very busy salon, plan accordingly. If you're doing a pedicure, and she's available, ask for Hellen. Have had pedicures from the Gold Coast to my current home of Portsmouth and am happiest here with Hellen! read more

Very poor service. Used someone else file in me. Called and complained and they said they would polish my nails. This place sucks. They don't speak English but act like they understand you then do what they want. Waisted $77.00 Also had her wax my brow and she totally messed it up then tried to tell me I had a scar which I definetly do not. read more

Went to the portsmouth location for gel mani and a pedi. Been going for a while and things have been fine but If you make a special request as I did the last time I asked for an overlay on a nail that was cracking on the corner I got an attitude. This time I asked for a fake mail to be put on my big toe. Even though a previous Tech told me they could do it and they would. The nail Tech that was the only one in the shop doing nails refused and said he was fired he should have never told me that and then she walked away. She was kind of rude I'd let the Tech that was working on me finish my pedicure with no nail Polish in complete my gel manicure and then I left. I will never return . I feel if you're willing to pay for an additional service in it is possible to do that service as I have had it done many times then you should receive that service instead of receiving rudeness in return . read more

My step sister and I went to Tip and Toe to get acrylics and eyebrow waxed. While they did a wonderful job on my eyebrows and a nails, my step sister did not get the same results. The man painting her nails demanded she pay and tip before he painted her nails, failed to ask her the length she wanted, and took a break to eat whilst panting her nails. They came out looking bumpy and chipped within an hour. I would have given this 5 stars, but my step sister would give it 1. read more

This place sucks, I went in to have shellac polish on my nails I said that I didn't want a manicure because they always cut my cuticles too far and make them bleed. The lady gets the stuff for a manicure, I again tell her no manicure. I pick out the color I want and they don't have the color anymore. I look for a new color and she suggests picking a color and adding sparkle to it I say okay do one nail and I will see if I like it. Well I didn't like it they are telling me I have to make up my mind and that my nail tech doesn't speak English. So I guess that I took to long picking my color because my nail tech gets up and started doing someone else pedicure and says something I could not understand. The first clear layer of shellac was on my nails but because I hadn't picked my color she didn't let them finish under the light so they were tacky and had gotten dust in them. I told the guy nail tech that came over next that there was dust stuck in the polish so he grabbed the cuticle cutters and jammed them into my nail pushing down and pull off the polish not comfortable at all and then cut my finger and made it bleed and didn't care. He was rude to me while he put the rest of my polish on jerking my hands around and just acting pissy. When he was done with the polish he said put under the light and walked off not to come back till I gather my belongings to get up to leave. Worst nail salon I have been to around here actually probably worst one I have ever been to EVER. Don't go here there are better salons around and they charge a lot for being rude. read more

Just meh, they are busy, asked box number I didn't have one, they didn't explain and then used a box that I could not tell if it was new or someone else's. The manicure was just ok, no massage, water was cold, and when I asked for a pinkish color over the top of the French she said NO and then questioned why I would want that and didn't do it. read more

This is actually for their new Portsmouth location - I made an appointment last Friday (6/3) for Saturday morning. I was there a few minutes past my 10am appointment, and I was promptly seated in one of their chairs for a pedicure, and I was helped right away. It was a very relaxing pedicure. I'm a little over 4 months pregnant, so being able to just sit and relax is heavenly. Their massage portion of the pedicure was phenomenal. This location is really convenient from my place of work, too; I can't wait to go back! read more

I've been to Tip and Toes twice to get a gel manicure. The first time, the manicurist bumped my nail causing a dent and didn't fix it. During my second visit, my manicurist left in the middle to do an eyebrow wax. My manicure was rushed and not very well done. I will not be going back. read more
