I came in with my mom to get a mani and pedi. The service was great and they were very accommodating. My mom got the acrylics and she loved it! I got the regular gel manicure and gel pedicure. They have a variety of nail polish colors and can do most of the designs. I showed them pictures of what I wanted and they were able to do it! Don't let the looks of this place fool you, their service are hands down the best! read more

This shop does not care about keeping a sanitary environment for their customers. Cross contamination is a serious issue at this establishment, they are risking people's health which is NOT okay! If you decide to bring your business here you are risking a serious skin infection or even worse! Save your time and money. Not a single service is worth it. read more

Very unsanitary conditions!! For waxing services they do not change out the sticks between CLIENTS ! So they are using the SAME si gel stick to wax EVERY client they have scheduled that same day ! On top of that they double dip which is not sanitary at all . Do not come to this location and save you're a POTENTIAL bacterial infection! read more

Extremely Unsanitary!! Owner wont change wax sticks in between services ! Then gets mad when confronted about the issues please save tour money and go elsewhere read more

Extremely concerning and unsanitary waxing practices. Wax applicator sticks are reportedly being reused between clients, along with double-dipping used applicators back into the same wax. This creates an obvious risk of cross-contamination and is especially troubling for a service involving direct contact with sensitive areas of the skin. read more

do not go to this salon. unsanitary conditions. the owner kicked me out after i asked her to use a new waxing stick. she uses the same waxing stick on every client. i don't know how this place is still open. i have already reported them to the department of health. using the same materials on all clients is unsanitary, and for what? to save a couple of dollars on wooden wax sticks. do not go here. you will get an infection. read more

Unsanitary. If you're looking for a place to get unsanitized material used on you with a potential infection do not come here. Ask the owner how many times she sanitizes her equipment let alone how many times she changes dirty wax & wax sticks. Why are you using the same wax stick on numerous women when that can cause a bacterial infection. Sucia read more

I got a very simple and basic Mani/Pedi from the salon. I have been calling and driving around for almost an hour trying to get a last-minute Sunday appointment I finally called the salon and they agreed to wait for me to get there at 6 PM on a Sunday whereas all other salons were closed or booked. What I love most is the affordable price, I hate paying $60 or $50 for a nail salons closer to me in downtown or Hollywood, for such a simple mani/pedi. If you're someone like me who just needs the basics, this is certainly a great salon to go to that is affordable and efficient. read more

Tip Y Toes - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went in at 6pm for a gel manicure. Not even a day went by.. I can see some of the nails peeling on the sides so I decided to file the sides down and didnt help. I was able to peel off the whole gel manicure with such an ease. From all the years Ive gotten gel, I have never had this happen before. I dont even want to touch the manicure in case my other nails peel off too Called to try to figure this out and try to go in. I dont know, didnt even seem like they can understand what I said. I hate to leave a bad review because she was so nice as she did my nails but.. Not even lasting one day is unacceptable read more

Ok well First off Let me say that this Place is Far from where I live. I Live in North Hollywood and This Amazing place is Near Downtown L.A, So you see my dilemma but Honestly its all worth it. When it comes to my nails, This Girl dont play lol, Seriously I care more about how my Nails look than my Hair which is unusual right?!? But I digress, I'm extremely picky when it comes to nail shops because typically I go to the same Nail shops full of Women who talk about us in their native tongue and Think we cant tell, to which I find Very rude, and they use the same nail tools on every customer. So once my cousin, who is a regular here, told me that this was the best nail shop shes ever been to, she wasn't kidding. So we decided to make it a Girls day and go get a couple of Mani-Pedi's. When we walked in we were Greeted by the Lovely owner Sherry, She was so nice and happy. When we got there she was pretty busy so despite the fact that it was raining like crazy we made an appointment to come back an Hour and a Half later. Once we came back she greeted once again and told us to pick our color, I love love love their Selection of nail colors From Essie to OPI and She even recommended what colors were in season to wear. So Finally I picked like a Orange-red type color called "Ole" idk what was the brands name all i remember it was the Bottle with a Grey top. What I really loved is that for every customer they use a brand new packet of nail tools so you know there is absolutely no chance of you getting fungus which to me its important because I've heard so many horror stories of how women get infections because of the unsanitary conditions they had their tools in. I loved how Sherry Evened out all of my nails and made them look gorgeous!!! The Mani-Pedi's were amazing, really relaxing. Overall This place was Awesome! Sherry, The Owner, really makes you feel really welcome and I love how we have actual Girl talk! And the Prices are Great!! One thing I will recommend is that you make an appointment because she gets pretty busy, but either way I'm definitely coming back even though its quite a drive over there but its well worth it! I Definitely recommend this place to the people in search of a REALLY Clean Friendly-Comfortable environment and Great Service! read more

Tip Y Toes - Love My Mani, Thanks Sherry! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am completely obsessed with TIP-Y-TOES! I went in around 6:40PM (closing in 20MIN!!!) and Sherry the owner still took us in. I got a regular polish change for $5!!! I couldn't believe it. She was amazing. So attentive, cheerful and charming. I've been living in downtown for a while now and I have yet to find a great nail shop but I think my search has come to an end. This shop is small but super clean, cute and cozy. I definitely felt like everyone knew what they were doing. Bikini wax! my sister went in and it looks amazing!!! LOL the pain was well worth it. The waxing lady really made it a comfortable experience for her. So much that she recommended it to everyone! read more

I've been coming in for a couple times, and I am very disappointed with this visit. I got an acrylic fill with a gel manicure, and the manicure did NOT even last a week. As you can tell by my thumbs don't even have anymore polish and my other fingers are not far behind since they're all lifting. I'm just going to stick to getting a pedicure from this place... read more

Seriously, I am the most special person when coming to my nails. And I loved it here. New place-new seats. Super Clean and hygienic and believe me, my expectations are really high New instruments per person An incredible promotion 17 dollars for mani-pedi. It can't get better than that. read more

Tip Y Toes - Cute little waiting room - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's new, it's friendly, and it's quick. I really enjoyed the pedicure and for $12 I will definitely go back. A couple of things to be aware of though: parking lot is small so be sure to look for street parking. And maybe because it's only been 6 months since they have opened, there aren't a huge collection of colors to choose from. read more

Sherry is 100% the best there is. Anywhere. Make an appointment and go! She has color match gel so you can match your mani to your pedi. She's also amazingly sweet and will give you a hug on your way out. Gel mani and regular pedi was $45 which I thought was reasonable for the best literally best mani I've ever gotten with the sweetest lady alive. She's also a crack up. read more

After a lot of research I finally booked an appointment with Sherry. I came in with a pic of what I wanted and she gave me exactly that plus more. They are so personable there. I felt like my friend was doing my nails. Price wise, very affordable compared to other salons. Worth every penny. The salon itself is on the smaller side so it's best to make an appointment IMO. Will be back again for a refill. read more

Tip Y Toes - Birthday Nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tip Y Toes. This place is awesome. I came here last Thursday (4/3/14) at @ 3:30p. I called in advance to check availability. I was given that appointment time. Upon arrival I was warmly greeted. I met four young ladies who were working in the shop that day. Sherrie, Ana, Kim and Jessie. All of these ladies are wonderful. Kim did my pedicure and Jessie did my manicure. I wanted a design done for my pedi so Sherrie did the design for me. Super professional. Sherrie makes you feel like you are in the comfort of your home nail salon. Though this was only my first visit, it felt like my tenth. The ladies have a way to make you feel comfortable. I held a conversation with Sherrie as if we knew each other already. She's really sweet and professional. They all are. Very cordial and attentive. The atmosphere they have created is great. The shop is set up really cute. Best of all they don't overbook their appointments. Which are designed to be set up that way. They really take pride in giving you the best one on one experience. I have been to very few nail salons that does that in the Los Angeles. Even when you already have an appointment set. The prices are fair. Reasonably priced!The overall cleanliness of the salon is outstanding. I am very particular about the nail spots I frequent for hygienic purposes. So when I noticed that about the shop that was definitely a big plus for me. It's been almost a week and both my mani and pedi still look good. I am looking forward to my second visit at Tip Y Toes. Although I like trying out different nail salons for the variety of styles, I can see this one possibly becoming my new nail home. I really like this spot and can't wait to return :) read more

Ive been going to Tip Y Toes for a couple of years. I discovered Tip Y Toes from other yelp reviews. Sherry and her staff are great. Very professional and great customer service. The owner Sherry pays great attention to detail and will do anything she can to make sure you have a great experience. The shop is very clean and provides everyone with their own pumice and file. They also have a great selection of colors. So great that the other night I actually had a dream about what color I was going to get on my next visit. I can only imagine how many nail shops I pass to get to this shop. It is worth any mile to drive. I dont even consider other nail places to go to anymore. I already know it will be this place. I love it. And thats an understatement. I would suggest going here to anyone I know. I reccomend making an appointment. read more

Wonderful experience!! All the ladies were really nice and provided a personalized service. This was my first visit and I felt like it was my regular nail shop. Definitely going back again!! I had a gel mani/pedi and got my eyebrows waxed. I haven't been to too many places previously that also carried gel colors for toes as well. They have a large variety of "perfect match" colors to choose from. You can also bring in pictures of what type of designs you want for your nails and they will make it happen!! They were also very quick!! Eyebrow waxing was the same that you'll get at other places, however Anna was talking to me the whole time which made it more enjoyable. They have a parking lot and prices were very good. Overall great experience and I'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

Tip Y Toes - Gel French tip manicure with glitter!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used to come here when Sherry did my nails. She always did an amazing job, but now that she isn't there I won't be going back. I got gel nails and after a few days they started peeling off! I might as well have gotten a regular mani if it was going to come off that fast. So disappointed. I did give two stars cause I have no complaints from the pedi. Don't go for gel nails. read more

$56 for gel nails and a pedicure. - my pedicure was a pedicure done from hell by this guy he kept filing my nails side to side creating friction on my nails when a certified manicurist knows to file in one direction. - he clipped my nails completely crooked and polished over them. I had to ask him to correct it - when he applied polish he blew on my toes to dry !!!!never have I experienced this, it was unprofessional and unsanitary!!! - My gel nails had bubbles in them, no attention to the shape of my nails were given some were squared some were round read more

I came in for a mani pedi with my girlfriend and had a wonderful experience . We were a tad bit early for our appointment but were taken care of right away. The nail tech who took care of me did a wonderful job with my hands and feet. I haven't been able to get my nails done in quite some time and am impressed and love how my nails turned out. On top of that, Sherry, the owner, is a total sweetheart and really knows how to treat her customers. I will most definitely be back here again! read more

Sherry is so nice and so sweet!! I saw that everyone was recommending Sherry on Yelp so I had to book an appointment with her. Came here around 11 on a Saturday and there were already a couple customers. I got a gel mani with some gold strips over the tips and it came to $48. It is cheaper than my other manicure place (Sugar Nail) and the manicure was done pretty well! The only thing I'm sad about is that the gold strips are coming off on the sides :( Make sure that all of them are really stuck on before leaving! But it's not enough for me to give them 3 stars because Sherry was too good to me! Definitely going to come back for an ordinary manicure because it's cheaper and closer to me. read more

Tip Y Toes - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is a hidden gem!! It's like an oasis in downtown la! This nail shop uses brand new nail filers and scrubbers because they put the ones they use on you in a ziplock bag for you to take home! I had never seen that probably all other nail places uses the same thing over and over! Gross!! I highly recommend this nail shop. The owner, Sherry, is very sweet and so attentive! Don't let this ghetto area stop you from going! It's very nice inside! read more

Before anyone gets mad for the 3 stars just hear me out. I LOVE this salon, in fact its my favorite salon when it comes to quality and customer interaction. The place is super clean and very sanitary also the owner is very sweet cares about her customers. The only problem is that almost every time I have come throughout the week Ive been turned away because there is always just two people working. I can see why they are always busy (becuase they are awesome) but maybe they should let people know to make an appointment. There has also been times when Ive called and no one answers the phone. I wish that they can hire more employees that do a great job so that I can get my nails done at my favorite salon. I would advise you to make an appointment and to go alone because there are only two people who work there.( At least when I have gone) read more

Sherry was very sweet and conversational! I did appreciate her company. But... That doesn't make up for the poor quality of the gel mani and pedi with callous removal and design. 1) The callous removal did nothing.... At all.. I've been to many a place that gave me princess feet, this place's product/work didn't come close. 2)They shared tools! The woman doing my hands had to wait for the woman doing my toes to finish with a cleaning tool to continue with my hands. How do you only have ONE tool?!? I asked how long they'd been in business, hey, maybe they're new. Five years she says. You should have more tools. 3) The gel mani chipped after three days. Yeah, I went in the pool! That's what you do in Vegas. But I've had MULTIPLE gel manis stay for at least a week when I've been in the pool. 4) My toes didn't feel clean :/ 5) The worst was the price of the design.. $8 for plastic tiny sequins that fell off THAT NIGHT! No, I can't go back! I'm driving to Vegas right now! Thank you for being so nice! But sadly, I don't think I'll be back :/ read more

What a wonderful experience! I called to schedule a mani-pedi and they had me in in 30 min. Sherri is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like you are getting your nails done with your girlfriends, regardless of who is in the shop. Granted the place is quite small, only serves 3 customers at a time, I still enjoyed it immensely - just be sure to call ahead to make sure you don't have to wait. They ended up doing my mani-pedi simultaneously, I guess to be more efficient. In any case, I did not feel rushed but was out in under 45 min. It's not the best pedicure I have every had, but the paint is perfect - and they will fix it as many times as you want if you're picky like I am - and it's just right for the price. $24 for a mani-pedi, $5 for callous treatment, plus tip is simply a deal. I will be a regular here from now on, I can't say enough about how pleasant Sheri and her staff are. They make it a habit of remembering your name and making you feel comfortable. I appreciate that, and will return! read more

I love love love this place. It's my new go-to. Sherry, the owner is AWESOME. So were my nails. I got gel nails with a pink polish and it is BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL. I loved it because it was quick and easy, unlike acrylic which takes forever and sometimes leaves those cuts on your fingers. Plus, it's healthier for you. All this about gel manicures I learned from Sherry who is amazing and will answer any question about anything you have. The shop itself is in downtown LA next to a school. They have their own private parking lot so everything is convenient. Prices for the salon are pretty good for the great work and service you get. I am definitely going back there to get my nails touched up/redone and bringing friends. read more

Loved this place. Went today for a full set and got treated like royalty the owner Sherry is the bomb. Shes so friendly and she really makes sure you enjoy your experience and your happy with the end result. Only downside is the dont take cards so I couldn't tip :( but I'll be back that's for sure. It's worth the trip and the money. read more

I LOVE this salon. EXTREMELY Clean, GREAT selection of name brand polish. Price is middle of the road, but I've never had to go somewhere to get my mani/pedi fixed afterwards like at some of the cheaper salons. If you tell any of them specifically what you want done or fixed, they will make sure to do it to your liking. Sherry the owner is super sweet and holds a great conversation. Going there makes me feel like i'm in the movie Barbershop, but you know, a nail salon. They do get busy so always best to make an appointment. I've never had problems with getting an appointment, but have seen others that came in without end up having to wait more than half an hour. read more

Let me first start off saying, I AM NOT FROM CALIFORNIA Coming from Arizona for my vacation I did need my nails done! A night before my trip I made an appointment here for when I drove into California. i'll admit when I first got there, I was kind of like what the fudge? its in a house? haha no, they have free back parking (thank god, one parking that's free)! My lady was amazing!!! I had a little cut where my nail was and she was superrrr sensative, Fantastic! my color is absolutely my favorite color, design is out of the ordinary but hey I love when others minds are on my nails rather than "Flowers and dots" haha. BOTTOM LINE: GREAT CLEAN, FRIENDLY, CHEAP PLACE! read more

Love this little nail salon! I finally got my super masculine BF to agree to manis & pedis for our bdays. He really enjoyed the experience and later even said he would do it again. I know for a fact that if I had taken him to any other salon, he wouldn't have enjoyed it, so thank you yelpers for your awesome reviews! Sherry, the owner, is such a sweetheart. She's very attentive and cleanliness is super important to her, you'll definitely notice right when you walk in. The spa/massage chairs were brand new and my BF said the massage alone was well worth the trip to downtown. My pedicure came out perfect and the selection of nail polishes included Orly, OPI, and Essie in all the latest color trends. Plan ahead and make an appointment because there are only a few chairs and nail techs. It's definitely the type of place you'd want to take your time and be pampered. Some reviewers refer to the location of this salon as "ghetto" or "underdeveloped", but living in LA my whole life, it's a typical looking neighborhood to me. I'm not poor, I'm not rich, it's just LA to me. Besides, benefits of the location are there's free parking, unlike down the street in downtown, where even the most ghetto areas have meters, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Clean, beautiful salon with amazing customer service. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

So glad I found this place!!!! Super cute, clean and new. I got a gel mani which was $25 - one of the cheapest prices in the neighborhood (I called around and places in the area range from $25 - $42). She's got a lot of good regular nail polish colors too (including OPI). I loved how friendly she was, we had a good chat and I felt at home right away. My manicure came out great (it's been a week and no chips!). I highly suggest making an appointment since the shop is so small & still growing. The best option in my opinion for a mani/pedi in downtown LA. :) I will be back! Small private parking lot on site. P.S. I saw a sign that says mani/pedi for $17 - that's a steal! read more
