I come here every three weeks for an acrylic fill with gel polish and consistently pleased every time! Steven is very attentive and always remembers my name. My nails always look wonderful for weeks afterwards even though I am very hard on them. I have also immediately left before and broken a nail within hours and returned to get the mail repaired at no extra cost. It took me a long time to find a nail salon in Monterey that I had good experiences with and this is by far my favorite. Thank you Steven! read more

Best nail place ever! Went in today with a friend. We both got gel pedicures! The place was nice and clean, nice music playing, drank some champagne while we got pampered! We will be returning !!! Thanks Steven ! read more

I've been coming to Tip n Toe for years! The salon is extremely clean and the staff is very talented and friendly. My nails have never been so healthy despite getting them done every two weeks. I recommend this salon to all my friends and clients. read more

Amazing service & such kind people. They did an incredible job. I made a reservation and they were ready for me right when I walked in. Extra safe facility during this COVID pandemic. Definitely recommend! read more

I love the atmosphere that Steven and his family have created for their customers! They are extremely friendly and welcoming! My favorite place to go by far, they do the best job! I recommend them above anyone else I've gone to in the Monterey area! read more

This place is fairly new, and we are SO glad we found it! Steven is friendly and has a great sense of humor! The design and decor are upscale! The pedicure massage chairs are lovely! The spa pedicure is WONDERFUL! Hot stone massage, wax and all! We feel incredibly pampered! They even brought us wine to enjoy! We will definitely be back! Thank you!! read more

Literally one of the worst manicures I've ever gotten. She left stray white polish all over my nails from the French manicure. I didn't pay too much attention but then literally the following day my nails started to chip. Today is the second day I've had the manicure and the white started to just peel off the tips now. I had to put clear coat over (annoying because I got a matte look and now it's shiny) just to try to keep it on. I have an event Friday and it's Wednesday so hopefully I can make it last long enough. I'm no professional but I've had acrylics done long enough to know they should last more than a day. read more

Steven has been doing my nails at Tip'nToe for about 6 months and I have never had as many compliments in my life as I have had on his work. He's careful, very accommodating and fun to chat with. His attention to detail is really great. The salon is lovely, clean, calming with lots of natural light. Everyone that comments on my nails I recommend without hesitation to make an appointment with Steven. read more

Do you like cute nails? Me too! I have been wanting these sweet hearts for a while now & when I asked if it was possible, the answer was of course, yes! Clean, fast & relaxing. Always great work read more

Search no more, Tip & Toe is where it's @ Friendly, professional, reasonably priced, & CLEAN! You won't be disappointed, call and make an appointment today! Or walk in and wait while you sip on coffee, tea, or wine! Thank you Steven, Amy, & Kevin for making my first experience fabulous, I'll definitely be back!! read more

So I read that they roll walk-ins prior to going. I didn't call because of that. When I got there he asked what I needed and I told him and he proceeded to look for a time. The 2 people there looked to be almost done but yet I couldn't wait. Really really irritated me. read more

Was planning my friends Bachelorette Party weekend and found this gem on yelp. Stephen was very kind and said that he would accommodate all 7 girls. He also had a special gift for the bride. A bunch of healthy yummy snacks and a bottle of Rosé complimentary! All the girls had a great time including the bride to be. This place is clean and does a great job fulfilling your needs. They also serve wine to their guests!! Not many places do that. Stephen, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!! read more

This nail salon is great! It is clean, new decor, lots of colors to choose from. They also service wine! I enjoy the attentive customer service they provide... great place! My only feedback is the elderly gentleman that does the pedicures can be a little bit too rough.. he has sharp nails that dig into the sides of my toes when he is cleaning my cuticles.. its actually painful. Maybe the owner can share this feedback with him and ask him to trim his thumb nail as it is very pointy and sharp. read more

It was my first time and I came based on Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed :) I requested Steven for my manicure. I was hesitant wether I should add acrylic nails or just stick with my natural to reach the goal I was going for. He said to stick with natural and I am glad I listened. I showed him a photo of what I wanted and he delivered! My car battery died out front of the shop and I was getting my nails done while waiting for AAA to come. Steven found out my battery was dead and said that he would have been willing to jump my car for me. Extremely kind and patient with me as I was embarrassed AAA showed up just as we were finishing up- I didn't want him to feel rushed. He ran outside to let them know I was almost done and finished up with my topcoat. Will be returning! Really happy about how my nails turned out. read more

Been here three times. First time, I got a full set from Muoy (older woman w/short hair and glasses)and they were just alright. Second time, I got a full set from owners wife, I forgot her name, but she was super sweet and very gentle and did an awesome job. Third time I made an appointment I forgot to request the wife so I got seated with Muoy and omg....first bad experience I've ever had in a nail salon. I requested a pink and white set when I made the appointment then had to tell her three more times that that's what I wanted and she kept trying to talk me out of it as she was prepping my nails! It was the most irritating thing ever. I knew that a pink and white set would take time and that she obviously didn't want to do it for me so at that point I should've just gotten up and left because she was pissing me off but I didn't because I didn't want to be rude so I just dealt with her. The nails looked crooked and just awful, and she left very visible air bubbles in the nails. She was rough as hell and filed some of my natural nails down to the flesh. I just wanted to get out of there so I just paid and left without speaking to the owner as they seemed a little short staffed at the moment. read more

So I went here because the nail salon I normally frequent down the street was idly closed during business hours. Anyways this place was surprisingly empty. I was the only one there. They are very clean. Brand new in fact. Their chairs are the best I have ever sar in and as a guy I'm sure you are thinking how many can this guy really have tried lol. Well let's say I have been to one in Washington state and about 5 in Northern California. While their chair was unbeatable and their facility top notch the technician was as I felt average. I'm not a specialist in this area but I felt it was ok. Nothing omg about it and I have had an omg pedicure before haha. The nail cutting and cleaning was good the message was good but I've been to less new facilities without the awesome chair where I feel like my money was better spent. I do give her major kudos for not making me bleed or snipping my toes at all. I know my two big nails are rather difficult. The only reason I like someone else doing them. All in all though I felt it was pretty average and safe. They use the standard plastic bowl lining and new bag of sealed tools. So I am happy with the cleanliness factor. I may come back but most likely I will try a different place and maybe when more time has past try again later. I give them 5 stars for their cleanliness, safety, and running a nail salon how one is suppose to be run by my standards. read more

This sweet husband and wife shop always does an amazing job on my lashes. Love their work, their amazing process and their kindness. Will put up a photo soon. :) read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Came in 12/27/17. I got a full set and my sister got a gel mani and pedi. Very nice salon and everything is brand new and clean. Very accommodating with snacks and drinks (could just be for grand opening but very nice touch). We didn't feel rushed at all and both left very happy. I need to get back in for a pedicure for myself ASAP! Ann did my full set and my sister was done by the owner. Will definitely be back. Also THEY LINE THE PEDI BOWLS!!! read more

Love, Love, Love this place! My new go to for sure. They do an AMAZING job. Very happy with the service. Place is full of love as well! Thank you Steven! read more

I first went to Classy Nails and they rejected me because I didn't have an appointment. I then drove over to Tip'n Toe and I was attended right away. I got a gel manicure and I love it. The manager took his time on my nails and I think they came out great. I will definitely come back here for service. read more

I've LOOONG searched for a permanent place to get my nails done, and i'm so happy to say that i've found it! Gel manicure, acrylic, liquid gel, they have it all! Along with a great variety of amazing colors to choose from (SO hard to choose!) The workers are very professional and take their time in doing an amazing job every time (without keeping you there for too long) All the nail techs are great at what they do, but my personal favorite is Steven, believe me when I say he can work up some magic on those nails! Always a relaxing/clean environment. I love my nails every time I walk out the door! I would give 6 stars if I could! :) thank you Tip&Toe!!!! xoxo read more

Tip'nToe - absolutely love my nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Monterey, California

I received a pedicure and manicure from Annie. She's amazing and my nails look fantastic. The place has a great atmosphere and is very clean! Highly recommend read more

I hadn't had a pedicure since February or March due to Covid. In town for the holiday and drove past this place. It was large and looked really clean and well set up for Covid. Called in the morning for an appointment and they were ready for me as soon as I walked in. I felt like it was very safe, everyone in masks with partitions between employees and customers and space between customers. It was either one of the best foot massages I've ever had or I just really missed getting pedicures. I think both. My toes look great and my feet are the softest they've been all year. Would definitely go back. read more

Great spa,& Lovely husband and wife . The service is fantastic , Not only that but they offer tea, coffee,water or a special beverage . If that's not enough they have an assortment of snacks. Best nail salon around forsure! read more

As a new small business owner, I was excited to give my business to this new Monterey salon! Steven and his wife do excellent work and are courteous and professional at very reasonable prices. I'm so happy with my new set of gorgeous nails and I will return! I gave Steven a broad idea of what I wanted and he did an amazing job! Check out this salon and look amazing while you support local! read more

Absolutely stoked this wonderful couple works around the block from me. I've been going to classy nails, which I also like, but I feel these guys are more hospitable. It is much more welcoming. I'm picky about my eyebrow waxes; this one was great, and there are lots of pedicure chairs. read more

If I could give six stars I would. The most important aspect of a nail salon for me is cleanliness and sterilization. That is clearly a top priority here AND the decoration is beautiful and classy. Feels really relaxing. I did a spa manicure and pedicure and they were wonderful- with hot rocks even. The end result of manicure and pedicure is well done, meticulous and durable nails. Highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

Got gel set, pedi and brows done. Hands down best nail set I've ever had and the brows are amazing too. They both took the time to do it right. The shop is sleek and the message chairs and leg massage are amazing. I've found my nail spot for sure. Book it now this spot is gonna blow up as soon as people see the quality. And the price is reasonable-too. read more

Really great place. Pedicure was awesome and the gel manicure turned out perfect! Very clean and friendly. Can't wait to come back!

They were so amazing!! Steven, Amy, Kevin were so welcoming, funny, and attentive. The Spa manicure and pedicure was really good and We were happy happy with the outcome. I came with three girlfriends. They are a little pricey but I would go again and recommend them for there services!! read more

Had my bridal party of 9 getting manis and pedis the day before my wedding and Tip n Toe was great! This was a destination wedding and none of us had been here before, but they were awesome and ready for such a large group! Mani and Pedi lasted a long time! read more

I called a few hours ahead and was able to get a same day appointment at the time I wanted. Since they just opened there are only two people working so calling ahead to make sure you get a spot is a good idea. They have a lot of chairs so when they grow in the future, walkins I'm sure will be easier to get. My mom and I both got pedicures. They have a great OPI color selection and offer wine or coffee etc. Steven and his wife are very personable and friendly and don't rush the process at all. A fantastic, relaxing experience and will definitely be going back in the future! read more

Everyone was so nice and my nails came out looking great! Awesome price for a gel mani & a regular pedi. read more

Love this place! The pedicure massages are super long and the staff is very sweet and really take their time. My friend was getting a ticket outside our window and the man painting my nails ran to go move her car. So sweet! 10/10. read more

I really liked the service that they did for me. I went in for a fill, and it was great. The service was great and the person that did my nails had a soft touch. I would give them 5 stars but they did take long to do a fill. Other than that I would recommend for you to go. read more

They did such a nice job! We came for a friends birthday and were able to book same day appointments for 3 easily through Yelp! Very very nicely priced - $30 for gel mani and a HUGE selection of colors and brands. They gave us wine and were so nice about our stupid jokes. I would absolutely come back read more
