Great customer service. I got a ombré and pedicure. They got me in quickly. I will be back again

Found my new go-to nail salon in Monterey. One of the best experiences in 20 years of getting my nails done. The shop is new, modern and very clean! Steven did my manicure and it came out perfect! He even repaired my broken nail at no extra cost. I'm writing this review one week later and still no chips and my nails still look freshly done. He has all the latest polish/nail products and I upgraded to chrome gel nails which he can customize the color. Just ask! Steven was very warm and friendly and we had a great conversation; I'm fairly new to the area and he's a local so he shared lots of recommendations to do around town. They have very nice new massage chairs. The pedicure was also awesome; great thorough massage!!! I'll be back soon! read more

I was in from out of town and able to schedule a last minute appointment on a Sunday for a much-needed mani/pedi. I received the best, longest foot massage I've ever gotten during a pedicure. Very clean establishment with professional staff. I wish I could've brought them back to Florida with me. 100% recommend! read more

I was very lucky to have called in ahead of time on a Friday (during a holiday weekend at that) and have Steven squeeze me into his schedule! I throughly enjoyed my experience at Tip'nToe because Steven is hilarious but also very knowledgeable. He really cares about his clientele and goes above and beyond for them. My pedicure and manicure were very relaxing, I am excited to return! read more

I have sworn my allegiance to Tip N Toe and there is no going back. You can't rival the speed, color selection, and banter. Family run businesses or bust! read more

I called the day of as soon as they opened and was able to get an appt at the time I wanted, so that was good. The space was clean, chairs were comfortable, and the staff seemed nice. They had a really great selection of regular and gel polishes and a fantastic amount of dip powders. My main complaint is that my nails look like they have been growing out for a week already and this picture was taken the day of. More care should have gone into my cuticles, and the acrylic should cover my whole nail, not look like they are already grown out. read more

Very nice job on my manicure. I got a mani pedi here and my nails looked very nice and lasted a good amount of time considering I used regular polish. read more

I had the pleasure of getting my nails done by Steven (owner) and all I have to say is, I wish I'd met him sooner! He's def now on my top 3 favorite salons! He's careful, precise, pays extra attention to detail! That's hard to find. I'll be coming here again, and will definitely recommend to my friends! read more

I've finally found the PERFECT MANICURE!! For anyone that gets their nails done in the 831: I've been getting gel manicures for years, and I have NEVER had anyone do as good a job as Steven at Tip N Toe on Lighthouse in New Monterey. He really went the extra mile to get ALL my cuticles off, which is so important to me. Most places gently push them down then paint over them, and by the next day it looks like my nails have been growing out for a week. It was only $25 for him to remove my old gel and do a full manicure. I highly suggest checking them out!! read more

Enjoyed my pedicure! Staff was friendly and the gentleman that took care of me took his Time and was very detailed! Love the way they turned out! read more

So I wanted to love this place I waited till spring break to come try it out with my mom and I made a reservation about 30-40 mins in advanced just because I saw the one review about its better to make an apt, so I came with my mom and she got seen immediately! me on the other hand I had to wait about 30 mins for his wife to show up as my feet soaked in cold water, the massage chairs are nice and it's really clean but she did a bad job maybe it was because she had to rush down here and was upset about it but as you can see in the photos my cuticles are horrible! And the paint job is so patchy I can see bare spots on my nails where she didn't put enough polish and by the way I had this done Wednesday and they already have cracks and imperfection AND APPARENTLY I PAID FOR THE MORE EXPENSIVE NAIL POLISH which is an extra 3$ and she didn't even tell me! I'm upset I paid an extra 3$ for nail polish only on my hands if I would've known I would've got that color on my feet too! so I'm extremely upset this is what that 3$ extra got me for stupid nail polish that still looks like crap She didn't take her time because as I said my mom was already ahead by at least 30-40 mins and the lady rushed it so I was done at the same time my mom was and that's not right. My toes look good btw I mean you can't really mess up toes tbh. So to recap I made an apt I came at the time he said I had to wait at least 30 mins for his wife to show up and they didn't offer any discount or compensation for the wait even tho he okayed and apt she rushed so fast she caught up with my moms pedicure/ manicure and did a horrible job on my feet exfoliating wise but good job polish wise and on my hand horrible cuticle job and HORRIBLE paint job where it is chipping and dents and thin polish after just 2 days of getting my nails done and didn't tell me I had to pay 3$ more for the polish I wanted " there's no signs saying that one polish is more than anther they are all together MISLEADING " My moms pedicure and manicure by the way was nice!! The guy took his time and told my mom that's the more expensive nail polish and did a great job and hers isn't even chipping and there's no bare spots!! Or thin polish I really really wanted to love this place!!!! because of how nice it looks! It's so pretty, but I can't go back if this is what 43$ " not including tip " looks like, my mom would gives hers 5 stars so I suggest getting the guy! He does a good job read more

Wow! Don't know where to bring. Such a nice and clean place inside. Steven, the owner, was super nice. He offered us some wine and snacks when we first entered. I have gotten many pedicures form local places and he gave the best by far! You must break way from your regular place to try this place. I promise you won't go anywhere else after. Top quality products and techniques for sure. read more

I got a nail infection from the acrylics I got here. I had to go to the Doctor's because it was swollen and green. I called the salon to fully let them know. Instead the store manager asked to go in, so he can take a look at my finger nail. I went in, he explained that the acrylics weren't the reason. He said that water went inside my nail or that I had probably removed a cuticle and it probably caused my infection. I always get full set and this has never happen to me in the past. This is the first time I come here and the last time I'm coming here. I didn't ask for a refund or didn't make a scene about my problem. I just wanted to let the owner know since I did have to get a mini surgical procedure. He seemed defensive instead when I told him about the nail infection. I also didn't like how he was talking to a customer about my issue and putting the blame on me while I was getting my acrylics removed. I normally don't write reviews but I just thought it was unprofessional. He was the same guy who worked on my nails but in the middle of the process stopped and had another employee finish my nails. My friend and I were unsatisfied with the visit here. read more

Broke my nail literally in the middle. Ouch! Both Steven and his wife have been so helpful and have repaired it now 3 times (finally had to just do acrylic to keep it from further breakage, as it had made its way almost across the entire width of my nail) they have been so understanding and kind and took extra care to the nail because they knew it was tender. I absolutely love this salon!!! read more

Steven does an amazing job! I'm so happy to have found him, he is extremely talented and very meticulous. Thanks for always making my nail look beautiful My daughter now joins me and loves his SPA pedicures, turns into a great mother daughter date Thanks for a great experience read more

Efficient gentleman, knowing what coffin shaped nails are supposed to look like without any flaws. Nice ambiance, would love to come back! read more

Honestly the cleanest nail salon I've been to by a long shot! I have been searching all over the Monterey county in search for a nail salon with exceptional service and I've finally have found the place. The staff is friendly, the massages are perfection, and the nails are on point! Please save yourself some time and money and head over to see them to get all dolled up, you'll be happy with the outcome, I promise. read more

Best nail salon in Monterey hands down. Everyone is nice and my nails haven't looked better since I've been here. I am a loyal customer now.

Steven has been doing my nails for well over a year and I'm always very happy with them. Got a cool khrome accent nail today. Love his new salon! It is very clean, modern and bright. Go see him or his wife Amy- they're fantastic and you will love the result!! read more

We came here from SF to get our nails and toes done. Customer service 100% satisfaction

Had my first pedicure with Amy it was amazing! Great value and nice staff. I received the Spa Pedicure, and it was amazing! Great price.

I miss going to my favorite spot!!! Steven and Amy always take great care of you. I have gone to just about every nail shop on the peninsula and they are by far the cleanest and do the best job!!! I have been going to them since they opened and can't wait to go back after Covid. read more

Thanks for making my rough day end happily. A manicure and pedicure made everything better. I highly recommend visiting Tip 'n Toe! I will be back!!! read more

I was visiting from out of town and needed to get my nails done. My daughter recommended Tip 'n Toe, so I made an appointment with Steven. One of the best dip manicures I've ever received! Very clean business with all the Covid precautions in place. read more

This is definitely a nail place you should try out. It's new, clean, and inviting. I went in to get my acrylic nails filled and couldn't be more happier with the result. The technician (Steven? I think) did a great job. He is very skilled and didn't knick the sides of my fingers once, which is rare in my experience! A fill with gel nail polish cost $30 without tip, which is not bad in my opinion. read more

I'm new to the area and searched yelp for a nail salon . This place was great , I got right in ! They were fast and friendly! Reasonable prices and quality work ! read more

Stephen is awesome! I get powder dip and looked around for "my" nail salon for over a year... BINGO!

I've tried this place twice. Heard such good things from local peeps. Nice and clean. Owners seem very nice. Unfortunately both times I have a pedicure, my toes got cut while filing. Yes to the point of bleeding and painful. Needless to say I'm a bit shy to head back there anytime soon. read more

I am SO disappointed. This looks like such an incredible salon. My baby shower is tomorrow so I wanted something fun on my nails. I went in and showed a picture of blue ombré to the girl at the front. She said they could do it no problem. When I sat to get my nails done I showed the lady the picture and asked if it was possible to do the ombré. If not, I had other ideas in mind. She started working on my nails and did white at the tips. I said that I didn't think that's how she was in the picture so she scraped it off. I put the picture in front of her so she could look at it as she worked. As she was doing it I kept saying I don't think it looks right and that maybe we should do something else. But she said when she did the glitter and the top coat it would look ok. She also cut me while filing which I get happens, but still is so painful. I should've trusted my gut and not paid $55 for something I was unhappy with. I just wanted to leave as fast as possible. I was supposed to get a pedicure too but I went to another salon instead to get my nails fixed. Not ombré at all. At 7 months pregnant this was not the relaxing pampering session I had hoped for. read more

Stopped by without an appointment and they were able to get me in within 15 min. The service was very good, the space was clean. It's a little on the pricey side, but the massage was worth it! read more

Steven and Amy take such good care of me! Whether it's my lashes, manicure or pedicure it's always perfect when I leave, lasts for at rest two weeks, and they are efficient! I recommend appointments because they frequently book up for the day quickly, but they work had to get all walk-ins taken care of. Prices are reasonable and they are both very nice and fun. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Been going to this place for roughly a year and a half. Best service, quality, pricing, comfort I've been to on the peninsula. Steven and his family have always offered a calm, clean and comfortable space at an affordable price. I can't rave enough about this place! read more

Received my first full set of eyelash extensions and brow was, I'm extremely happy with the results! Both services only took 90 minutes, the cozy blanket was a nice touch while relaxing on the table. Will be going back soon. read more

Consistently good work, this is my new go-to salon! Appointments are easy to make, everyone is friendly, and my nails always come out great.

We had a blast here, the owners/technicians were very friendly. Great spa pedicure, and they were nice to my nephew, who had fun playing with their son. Made for a relaxing afternoon/evening for my sister and me. read more

This place is the only place I trust to get my nails done! The pedicure station is always super clean and this is the only place in the area that I noticed uses a liner! Everyone that works here is always super sweet and I'm so bummed that I have to move away and find a new nail salon. Definitely give this place a try and it will be your go-to, pinky promise! read more

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
