Wonderful pedicure. Myself, my brother, and my mom went for Mother's Day. We got the spa pedicure. All 3 employees were very kind, gentle, and did a great job. My feet were a bit beat up going in but no one made me feel bad or embarrassed and now they look great! The chairs are comfortable and have lots of massage settings. read more

After 15 years, I decided to get acrylics again. My daughter goes to Han and SWORE by his skills - he did not disappoint!! What a talented nail artist! It's a bonus that he is also an incredible human and so fun to talk to! I made an appointment, but while I was there, a nail tech that was on her way out stayed to take a walk in! They go above and beyond! I HIGHLY recommend for all your nail needs and a BIG thanks to Han for doing the exact french tips I wanted so beautifully. read more

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is inviting and techs who actually listen to what you want. My gel manicure was flawless: even application, vibrant color that didn't chip for weeks, and cuticles so tidy I forgot I even had them. They use high-quality products, and sanitize everything meticulously. Pricing is fair for the top-tier service and they're great with appointments or walk-ins. Whether you're after a classic French tip or something bold, the results are always salon-worthy. I'm hooked; my nails have never looked or felt better. Highly recommend for anyone tired of mediocre mani-pedis! read more

This charming little gem, tucked just off the main Cannery Row area in Monterey, is an absolute delight! The space is spotless and beautifully set up, with several manicure stations and luxurious spa pedicure chairs. I was impressed by their extensive selection of nail colors--something for everyone! We visited on a Saturday morning and easily found parking right out front, which was a bonus. Steven did my gel manicure, and it turned out flawless, while Anne gave me a very l relaxing gel pedicure. I nearly drifted off during the treatment--the clay mask, scrub, and hot stones were pure bliss! Though the prices were a bit higher than what I'm used to in Texas, they seem standard for California, and the experience was well worth it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Tip'nToe on lighthouse in Monterey CA, has a lovely space with a boutique vibe and a friendly crew. Jenni said she didn't do fancy designs but her colleague can do anything! I told her all I needed was a short elegant set of tips with gel and gel polish in white and she delivered perfectly! As I sat enjoying a beautiful nature scene with music on their big screen I her colleague started to do an Amazing job on a crazy fancy set of nails with metallic swirls that turned to a point and lacey hints of sparkle. The lady also wanted some kind of water effect in the polish- which he managed to achieve. They were gracious and friendly. This place is a gem. read more

It was my 1st time, so I made an appointment with Han the day before the service. I arrived on time but waited for 30 minutes. She was busy with other customers, one after another, despite my earlier appointment. There was no explanation, and my nails were eventually done by two seniors. I did not feel welcomed, and the time management was disappointing. read more

Was excited to try this place out due to the reviews. The lady who I was with did a great job at trying to accommodate my requests. At first I wanted a black chrome that I saw on pinterest. When the black polish was laid and the white chrome was put on top it turned out to be like a metal grey color. So we changed it and I opted to go with this glitter gel over my acrylic. I wasn't too happy about the shape and lack of sharp corners. Yes I wanted a short coffin but I think these are too short and therefore have lost their shape. As seen on my right hand, she flied it way to low on the side and it looks funny. I tipped over 25% because of my lack of knowledge that Pinterest pictures aren't always going to turn out the way I wanted. I'll probably try them again in the future. read more

went here randomly. pros for the regular basic pedicure: best massage i've ever had and about 10 min per side. same with me basic manicure. my nail polish still looks perfect! also very kind and i was able to get in without appointment cons: no magazines basic mani pedi took 2 hours read more

I honestly had high hopes for this place based on the reviews and how nice the salon looked. I called ahead and made an appointment for a manicure and pedicure. The older lady was the one who did both my mani and pedi. Pedicure was alright. Not the most relaxing as she kept putting pressure on my knee bone in a painful way during the massage. She did not communicate when she was done and abruptly put my sandals back on my feet. I wasn't aware/prepared for this and my big toe got smudged at the tip. I didn't see this until I left the salon because she rushed me to the manicure area as soon as she put my sandals on. The manicure was so much worse. I showed her my inspiration picture which was a light blue chrome. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right shade but then she strongly suggested a completely different color than what I originally wanted. She was very insistent that that color would match my inspiration picture. I was still optimistic about this place so I decided to just trust the process, especially since she was so sure that it would be the right color. When she started working on my hands, she was very quick and aggressive with how she was using the cuticle and nail clippers. She cut my nails way too close on the sides and left my nails looking and feeling way worse than before the service. I have never felt so much pain after a manicure. Multiple fingers feel like they were chopped off on the sides. It hurts and stings to touch anything or to do anything with my hands. This pain has made me very irritable on my current trip and I keep feeling pissed off that I paid $100 + tip to feel this way. I wish I saw the other reviews with her because it seems like this has happened with other clients as well. tl;dr: worst manicure experience because older lady was careless and caused pain from cutting too much skin and nails on the sides. read more

Mary is wonderful and does amazing work. She was very careful and has great attention to detail. I will totally be back to see her! Thanks Mary read more

Best nail salon in Monterey, hands down! Every technician is great so you can trust that you are in good hands no matter who does your mani and pedi. I always get the Spa Pedicure and they know how to treat you like royalty with a long massage, paraffin wax, hot stones, scented salts and ultimate relaxation . The salon is always clean and tidy which obviously a huge green flag. They are willing to accommodate whatever style or nail shape I request. Most importantly, my nails are PERFECT for up to a month after my appointment. I am constantly getting compliments. They will be grown out and still look amazing. My nails have never been stronger and my feet have never been smoother. I am so thankful for them!!! I usually make an appointment but walk-in are welcome. I have sent many friends here and they all agree. I even have friends from out of town coming so they can do their nails for special occasions. They are the best! read more

I wandered in here looking for a last minute pedicure after work and loved that they're open past 6! Service was AMAZING, and these days that can be hard to come by. I got a gel pedicure for reasonable price, and my technician was so detailed and thorough. It's been a month and they still look just as good as the night I got them done. Great atmosphere, will be my new go to spot! read more

Easily the most flawless and careful mani/pedi I've ever experienced! They have taken extraordinary measures to ensure that their services are safe and top notch, and I despite the circumstances, they provided the most exemplary results I have ever had. My gel manicure is actually holding up and still rock solid for longer than three days, and I now finally understand what the upgrade is worth! Previously, I had always just preferred doing a basic mani for the savings because I found the performance to be similar with the handful of other gel manis I've had; after 3-5 days corners were lifting/easily chipping and once they go, there's no coming back. However, this gel mani is truly unlike any other; their work is outstanding, and I finally get it! Hallelujah!! read more

A friend recommended this place. The gel color options are extensive...perhaps the most I've ever seen. I was deciding between two colors but with Valentine's Day coming up, the staff member Amy recommended this one and I couldn't be happier with it. It's been 3 weeks and the polish hasn't completely chipped off like other places have. They also did a pedicure, perfect still. Decent pricing for the quality. Best place I've been to in Monterey County so far. Pro tip : 1) park at the parking lot on the north side of Hoffman Avenue for unlimited time on parking. 2) ask for Amy or Steven. read more

I love Jenny.She does a great job and she is a sweetheart. I get an overlay acrylic manicure. I absolutely love it.

They did a great job very fast lots of colors to choose from very happy with my nails

I've been getting pedicures here for a year and a half now, and I've been super happy every single time. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to the actual polish, and this place gets it right every time. I feel like some places skimp on the polishes, and dilute them, because they don't stick. But at this place, the polish itself lasts for a few weeks without chipping. It's not super cheap, but you get what you pay for. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and skilled. The massage is great, too! Make sure you get there a bit early so that you have time to park. read more

A couple of months ago I moved into the neighborhood, and I needed to find a convenient place to get my nails done. There are quite a few salons right around here, but I decided to try Tip n Toe first. I don't think I need to try the others now! Everyone there is always super friendly and each time I leave I am super happy with the service. I wear acrylics because my natural nails are flimsy garbage, which means I have "problem nails" if there's a break or something due to how thin they are. I recently badly damaged one of my natural nails but Amy managed to help me keep it protected as it grows out. I have zero complaints so far and will continue to return. read more

I love coming to see Steven. He's so meticulous.

We walked in this morning, asking about pedicures. They asked if we could come back at 6pm, which was fine by us we had a busy day planned. This place was so clean, the massage chairs are very nice. The reviews are spot on for this place. My husband and I wanted to get pedicures together while visiting from out of town. They massaged our legs for awhile, felt relaxing! We got wax applied to soften skin. WoW, they do take good care of you here! Relaxing end to our beautiful day! They are very friendly and we will be back! read more
