My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Donna at Tip & Toe Salon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! Her salon was clean and cozy, and it's located on a nice, quaint street in Burlingame. I love how it's located on Chapin Ave, a few blocks off from the busy sidewalks of Burlingame Ave. There is street parking with and without meters available. My daughter had a beautiful manicure which she absolutely loved. I had an amazing pedicure which was so relaxing. I had an ingrown toenail which she removed thoroughly. Donna is such a sweet, lovely woman with great technique with manicures and pedicures. Looking forward to future visits with her again! read more

Donna is a master of her craft. I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend her. She had availability for a walk-in express pedicure and shared directions before I arrived. Her shop is clean and well organized. She was attentive, caring, honored my requests and made me feel at ease. I love how my pedi turned out. Thank you, Donna! read more

First time here and had such a great experience! I met Donna, who was incredibly friendly and so nice to chat with. She helped me pick the perfect red color and did an excellent job on my nails. I'm really happy with how they turned out and will definitely be back! read more

My daughter and I were in Burlingame running errands and our hair salon highly recommended Tip and Toe. We had a wonderful experience with Donna at Tip & Toe Salon--HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! Her salon was clean and cozy, located on a quiet street in Burlingame on Chapin Ave, just a few blocks off the busier sidewalks of Burlingame Ave. Street parking (metered and unmetered) was easy to find. I got a manicure and my daughter had a pedicure, both of which were fantastic and done with great technique. Donna was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and even super kind to our puppy (gave her a bowl of water and tons of attention) while we were there. She even gave us tips to our upcoming trip to Vietnam. She also showered us with so much love and treats! Looking forward to our next visit with her! read more

Go grateful for Donna at Tip&Toe. I was able to book super last minute before Xmas Eve. The salon is easy to find, so welcoming and comfortable, but most importantly, nice and clean. Donna was so kind, thorough, and quick. It was my first time meeting Donna but I felt like we had known each other for years because we had such great conversation. My nails came out great. The length and shape are perfect. read more

This review is for July 30, 2025 Was going on vacation I called Donna for an appointment. Had my co-worker with me and she was able to take up both. My feet was so happy afterwards especially with all the talking I did through airports and during my vacation. There are some specific things about my feet I told her once before and she remembers. I love it I dont have to repeat it. Also being after work its so nice and quiet. It helps with the relaxation. read more

Y'all, Donna is the best. I stumbled across her salon on a very random weekday. While I had to wait for about half an hour for her to finish up with another scheduled client, I realized very quickly that she is just so sweet and attentive to detail. While she is naturally a people person, she also respects your quiet time if you're in the mood to just sit and relax in her massage chair (like I was when I came in for a walk-in gel pedicure). She was very quick in removing my nail polish, and during my pedicure, she also added a hot stone massage that made me think I was in heaven. By the end of my appointment with her, I felt that she had adopted me as her own daughter. :) I highly recommend Tip & Toe Salon! read more

Came on a break from work and needed a fresh manicure for a Valentine's Day dinner party I was hosting for my gals. I made an appointment for 2:30 a few days before and day of happened to be free a bit earlier then expected and called Donna to ask if there was anyway I could come in early which was perfect because she was free! I was kinda in a rush but Donna got me in and out in 30 minutes. She was soooo kind and really great to talk to I'll definitely be back! My nails are perfect and was soooo happy! Donna's new #1 fan! read more

Amazing! Donna is so nice and she really knows what she is doing. I'm so glad I found her!

Donna was an absolute treat! Her salon is clean and tidy with both manicure stations and pedicure stations. I was looking to get an acrylic French tip pedicure which is not a service most larger salons will take the time to do, so I called in to make sure and she got me an appointment the same day! I was delighted to be greeted with such a professional service, friendly conversation, and a speedy turn over time! She did my full pedicure in just about an hour. The salon was cozy and quiet which is exactly what I need! She was very informative and was sure to give her best advice to achieve what I wanted! In total I paid $150 including tip and I would gladly do so again! Thank you again, Donna :) read more

Donna was exceptional! I found this nail salon through class pass and despite some scheduling challenges through my class pass app she made both my pedicure and manicure happen as a favor due to a wedding I had to go to later in the evening - seriously so kind of her to go out of her way! Her personality is one to adore. She provided me magazines + glass of wine despite her being in a rush to ensure I get the full experience of a relaxing and spa like feel. It was so nice meeting you Donna, I'll be back but will book a regular appt not through the ClassPass app to ensure you have enough time. Highly recommend read more

Donna is truly amazing. I have been going to Tip & Toe Salon for over a year now, and after years of switching salons, I have finally found my favorite. I struggle with painful ingrown toenails, and Donna is able to remove them without any discomfort -- I leave feeling so relieved. I've always been embarrassed to wear sandals because of my short nail beds, but she worked magic to make them look bigger, and now I'm confidently wearing open-toed shoes again. I genuinely look forward to my appointments; it's the only time in my busy day when I can fully relax. Donna gives me her full attention and takes such great care of me. She is truly a gem, and I cannot recommend Tip & Toe Salon enough. read more

Today was the first time I stepped foot in a nail shop in close to 2 years - and to say it was an absolute pleasure is an understatement. For about 20 years of my life I was the girl that would go to the nail shop every 2 weeks religiously . I took a break to finish paying off debt I'd accumulated in my younger years and yet ... today I had the best experience I've ever had in a nail shop in my life. Just learning I could use it for things outside of yoga and hiit classes - I found Donna's salon via ClassPass and booked myself for a same day appointment. When I arrived she was surprised to see me and informed me that she was sorry but she'd been having issues with her phone or class pass and didn't see that I'd booked an appointment. She expressed she was super busy but could still see me at a later time if I was available. I made it work and I'm so happy I did! When I returned for my appointment - I had the opportunity to see Donna in her element, taking great care of some ladies that had an appointment before mine. One maybe 6 years old or even younger and Donna treated everyone like family. Say what you'd like - giving kids a manicure is hard work! But Donna handled it like it was easy and made it so fun - even I couldn't help but laugh along! My visit and pedicure with Donna was the highlight of my day. She took great care of me, she took her time, and she did an AMAZING job. From asking me how I liked the temperature of my water, to the hot stone massage, and making sure I actually liked my pedicure before she finished - she has earned a client for life. Donna is lots of love and laughter, she has a great attitude (unlike sadly most technicians I've seen), and knows how to carry herself! Donna is an absolute professional and knows how to make sure her clients enjoy themselves in her salon. Chatting with her felt like I'd reconnected with a longtime girlfriend. Thank you so much Donna! Currently obsessing over my toes! I'll see you again soon! BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH DONNA! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! read more

This is my absolute most favorite salon in the Bay Area and it is all because of Donna. She is such an attentive nail technician. And if I ask her to do something, like a design or certain technique, she does it without hesitation. I only get manicures now because it is hard for me to tolerate the UV light, and she gladly accommodates and doesn't try to upcharge me for every little thing. If she hasn't seen me in a while, she texts me to check in on me. She is so gentle and so very caring. She has an excellent business model because I would not visit anyone else except for Tip and Toe. The best customer service and her salon is kept so very clean. I highly recommend, 10/10. read more
