Unfortunately need to update my review. I had a great experience with them over a year ago where they were able to squeeze me in to get my nails done before I had to head out of town. I really appreciated that. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was truly disappointing. I went for a nail fill and polish change, which is $45. I think the price is fairly reasonable, but, unfortunately when you need to go somewhere else and have your nails completely redone just over a week later because your acrylic nails are painfully lifting and even ripping off, it's no longer a good deal. When I got my nails done, the tech did not ask me any questions about length nor shape which I thought was odd. I didn't interrupt, bc everyone does it differently, so I assumed she would ask when she was ready to shape. But she never did. She simply quickly did the fill/color change and sent me on my way. She did not do a good job at getting my nails very close to the edges/cuticles, on the bottom or sides. There was notable space of empty nail on several fingers. Two days after I left, 3 of my nails were already lifting. To their credit, I did return a few days after that when my schedule allowed, and they re did those 3 nails at no charge. Unfortunately, just 3 more days later, two of those three nails and two OTHER nails have either lifted or completely ripped off. For context, I have been getting my nails done consistently since December 2021. I have never even had my nails lift, let alone lift so badly that they eventually rip off, in the nearly two years with my regular technician. I typically go about 4 weeks between fills, and am totally fine. Nails don't lift , break, crack, or tear. I couldn't even go 2 days without it happening here. I will be returning to my primary technician to get a new set of nails, since two have totally ripped off and four more are lifted - in about 1.5 weeks total - including the 3 that were already repaired once. I offered two stars, instead of 1, to be fair to the one god experience I had over a year ago and to acknowledge that they were willing to repair my three nails at no charge. However, this would otherwise easily be a one star review. read more

I don't usually venture away from my nail salon but I just needed my nails removed. I figured, how bad could it be? Well, the nail tech proceeded to attempt to rip my nail off in an attempt to take it off. No filing or soaking attempted. I could have ripped them off my self. I come to a salon to have them removed properly and limit damage to my natural nail. She physically hurt me! When I asked her about soaking, she replied" well, if you are scared, we can soak them". I walked out... read more

If I could give this place a 0/10 I would , they are overpriced . They charged me $10.00 for ONE acrylic toe nail .. I got a regular pedicure $35.00, I received gel polish and a French tip for an extra $25.00. They then told me my big toenail was too short so they added on acrylic polish and charged me $10.00. It was as if they used the extra $10.00 for tip money , I will never go back again . They also had roaches. read more

They were actually worse by the time I went in to get them fixed. One more was peeling off. Since the polish was now coming off 3 nails I requested a full polish change. Katie charged me the same amount I paid her initially minus $5 although initially I got a fill. Won't be back. read more

Do not come here. Save yourself the over priced, poor quality. I walked in with beautifully shaped coffin nails that needed a fill-in and walked out with a disaster. I have been cut on my fingers at a minimum of 3 times and no real shape. My poor pedicure was a joke and my toe nails also made to bleed. I asked the nail lady to fix my shape and she filed the sides so raw they bled on my index finger and thumb. She began to joke that she's scared me enough and that I wouldn't want to come see her anymore. My cuticles are a disaster, my fingers and skin hurt and I still had to pay FARRRRRR too much. I came to this place and the specific tech based on a recommendation of a friend who always has such beautiful nails. I'm embarrassed for having to wear these till they grow back out including the poor sides of my fingers and nails. read more

Mimi does a fabulous job BUT she just has her husband tell me to have my nails done somewhere else, I asked why and no reason. I've always been nice to those people! I do like my nails a certain way and she called me picky. No that's what I like. it's fine I'll take my business elsewhere! That shows they pick and choose who they want as clients and just because I don't have the money to come every week doesn't make me a bad person!! If you like being treated this way more power to you! Don't recommend simply bc of the way I was treated for wanting exactly what I like!! read more

I do not recommend this place. they do very bad nails and charge too much. I've tried getting my nails done with two different girls and apparently neither of them can do a good job read more

This place is bad. Like really bad. I thought the reviews were dramatic and just needed a quick gel mani/pedi. I had to beg to see gel colors because they couldn't believe a man wanting polish I guess. It's been less than a week and most of my nails are peeling... defeating the purpose of paying for gel. read more

Very efficient service. The technician was very nice and fast. One of the best gel manicures I've gotten! Definitely coming back!!

I went here for a gel fill-in. This typically costs $40. I needed one nail replaced, and they charged me the price for a full set, $50. I questioned why its $50, and he just said because I had to replace a nail. Also, it was very sloppy. There was polish all over my fingers, I asked if he could get it off and he said , "it will come off eventually ". Will not go back. read more

My nail job itself was good and my nail tech was super sweet. However, I went to the front desk to check out and the lady at the desk was sleeping. I had to wake her up and when I did, she proceeded to ask me if I wanted my brows done, out of nowhere. I said no thank you and she said "are you sure? You really look like you need them done." I was so offended. I will not be coming back here, this is no way to treat a kind, paying customer who simply came in for a relaxing pedicure. So rude. read more

So now I only see Katie when I visit. She will let you text her and give you updates when she's not in the salon. She is the best. The bad reviews do not reflect her work. read more

I went to the salon to get a pedicure with gel polish. The nail tech cut my cuticle so bad it began bleeding. She applied some antiseptic and dunked my foot back into the water. After explaining that my toe stung she finally retrieved a bandaid. At this point I wanted to get up and leave but she insisted I let her finish. All of this and only ended up with $5 off of my service. Will never come here again. read more

Do NOT waist your time or money here. Not only is the place ridiculously expensive for a Nail Salon but they leave you with a polish I would expect from a 9 year old child. I first walked in and instead of being greeted by the first manicurist "Hello, how can we help you", she pointed to the front desk., no words....? Got stuck with the very same rude "manicurist". No name, as she never introduced herself. I mentioned I had a set of gel tips that I had removed myself the night before but had one tip that still needed to be removed and then simply wanted a buff and polish afterwards. She never removed that one tip, and just polished over the tip. She pushed my cuticles back with her dirty nails instead of a sterilized cuticle stick and my nail beds were on fire from her filing so hard. The only conversation we had was her asking me if I wanted a pedicure (asked three times within the 45 mins I was in her chair). I asked for three coats of nail lacquer versus two. Not only did she refuse to give me the three coats but I left with a messy polish that had very deep streaks. I completed Cosmetology school out of high school, did nails for 9 years as I even ran my own nail salon. I can tell you this much, this person has never stepped foot in a Cosmetology school. This is one time I wish I worked for the State Board. read more

I should have looked at Yelp before I went, but I was at Brier Creek and needed a fresh gel manicure. The tech clipped cuticles and clipped more and finally cut into my cuticle! It is still puffy and...I won't go into it, but suffice it to say I should NOT have paid for the manicure or tip I gave her. I'll check Yelp next time--first! read more

Went there for my manicure and took my mom for pedicure. While my shellac wasn't bad (still, my lady paused frequently to talk on the phone and text) my mom had absolutely horrible experience with her pedicure. First, the lady finished it in 15 minutes. No joke, just 15 minutes for a pedicure from her getting in the chair until she was asked to get up. I heard the lady trying to push a more expensive service and insisting on doing gel nails several times. The end result is just horrible. A child could paint her toenails better. Look at the attached picture and go there at your own risk. My gel manicure - 35? Moms basic pedicure - 28 The amount I was billed was $68 + left $12 tip. I should have looked at what they did to my moms toenails before tipping, I haven't seen a pedicure this awful in my entire life. read more

Salon staff are rude. They lie to you to get you to start on a service when they know good and well they don't have time. Went in at 5:21p on Sunday 10/01. Lady at front desk asked what I needed. I let her know a pedi and a fill in. She said ok that was fine. I get back to the back and half way through my pedicure and it's a different story. They can only do my pedi and not my fill in now. Really pissed off bc I can put a shoe on but not a shoe on my damn hand. Edward is rude as hell with his attitude. You get in there before it's time to close and they turn away business like it's nothing. I'm a blogger for the area and will MAKE SURE it's known how horrible my experience was. read more

I picked my color and waited about 5 min for 3 people to look through all their colors to tell me they didn't have it and that I needed to pick another one out. I chose a second color and they were looking for it for another 4 or so mins before asking 2 more people to look for them to tell me that they don't have the color and I needed to pick out a third color. I just got up and left. read more

I was in town from Charlotte and went in and got a Pedi which is listed for $68. I did not get any other service done just a pedi. I paid with my card and told her to add a $10 tip. Although she did not deserve it because it was the most basic service/pedi I ever received I still tipped her. The lady had the card reader behind the receptionist desk and I had to give her my card. After she insert it in she handed back after the transaction was done and said "no receipt paper" "have a nice day". I didn't think nothing of it. I checked my statement later that day and she charged me $195, yes $195 for just a pedi. I went back the next morning and told her and she played with the computer and card reader and said it will fall off, it's a pending transaction. Well it did not fall off and i had to dispute it. After the dispute was completed I did not get $115 back or anything. They provided a receipt with scribble on it, yet they never gave me one not even to sign. If you must go here use cash, overall service for a pedi is basic. I just wouldn't waste my time if i had of known read more

I went to this salon for the first time yesterday and had the worse experience. I truly regret going there and I will never return nor will I ever recommend them to anyone. I needed a manicure and gel color done. I chose a color but the tech suggested another color so I went with it. As she was applying the color I kept telling her I didn't like it but she insisted to see the finish look. After she finished and the gel dried I told her I didn't like it. Her response was " it's just a color, in 2 weeks you can remove it ". That costs me $45. read more

It was my niece's 16th birthday and she had never been to a nail salon. She asked me is she could get a shellac manicure as she had been given some money for her birthday. We were shopping in the area and I went in and asked if they could do a manicure for her. They told us to come back in half an hour. When I came back they told me the bill was $110! I asked them why. It was Vicky who had done it and she said she had done a lavender bath and a pedicure as well. My niece had no idea what she was doing. She had made sure to ask her what age she was before she scammed her. I was absolutely astounded. The child didn't have enough money. My sister tried to pay with her credit card and they said it wasn't working which I do not believe as she used it right after we left. We had to scramble to get the cash. I did not make a scene as it was obvious that the child was traumatized. She had also painted a horrible design on the nails which was all smudged. I really should have declined to pay and made her call the police. It was disgusting!!!!!! I would caution anyone against this place and give your money to a clean salon where the people are honest. read more

I was switched to 3 different nail technicians and finally where I ended up, the two ladies were talking the entire time and messed up both my nails and the customer beside me. It took almost an hour and a half for just a gel nail color change. The lady pressured into getting a manicure which I declined. But she said my nails messed up because I didn't let her do a manicure. My nails messed up because she wasn't paying attention. I heard them speak English earlier and when the customer beside me asked a question, the nail tech acted like she didn't speak English. I've come here before with no problems but today was a total disappointment. I finally left and my nails still look like crap but I'd rather go somewhere else to fix them than let this lady keep messing with them! read more

Absolutely horrible! First of all the place needs to be cleaned. The nail technician was clearly displeased that I only wanted a basic pedicure rather than their more expensive ones. The pedicure was good although she rushed and I was finished in 20 minutes. Meanwhile my daughter was getting SNS and they charged for a manicure in addition because the nail tech took it upon herself to trim her cuticle. What should have costs $40 was then $63. My daughters nails looked really pretty though until one of her nails broke 2 days later. Ugh! Stay away and go somewhere else!! read more

The massage chairs were old school (boo), but there were lots of them so it makes it easy to walk in with some friends and no wait (yay). They didn't have the newest colors available (boo), but there was still a pretty broad selection of OPI polish compared to other salons (yay). The price for a basic pedi was a bit high (boo), but it did come with the most amazing foot/leg rub I've had in a while (yay). Plus, my nails look expert -- perfectly shaped and polished, and the job has endured! (Yay, yay, yay!) read more

I just went to this salon for a pedicure- from the beginning, the guy handling it was far from attentive. He started the water, told me to put my feet in, and never checked the temp, so I just about burned all of the skin off my toes. Throughout the entire pedicure he was on his phone. If he got a text, he would literally stop what he was doing, pick up the phone, and ignore me while he texted back. He even pulled up a stool next to him for his phone, so he could keep an eye on it. Worse than that were to comments he made. Let me first say this : it's probably been two months since I had a pedicure. Could my feet have been in better condition? Sure. Were they bad? Uh no. Pretty normal. So, this guy does the whole thing - including the part where they scrape the bottom of your feet. When he's done he looks at me, points to the towel and says "look at that." Like he's scolding me. At the end, he says "much better, right?" Shut up. So rude. No tip, never going back. I can't believe I just paid $33 for that complete lack of attention and rude/ embarrassing treatment. read more

We came in the day before Thanksgiving - the place was PACKED with people sprucing up for the holiday. Despite the high volume, we were seated within minutes for manicures. Service was wonderful and my nails are still decent after a weekend of hauling luggage. I'll definitely be back! P.S. Prices are comparable with other nail salons in the area. But for the quality of service, I'd say Tips 2 Toes is a deal. read more

Racist and rude. I've tried this place a couple times and the service is horrible. On multiple occasions I've been told to "pick a color and take a seat" and then other women (without appointments) walk in and get seated right away. And each time, there has been a clear difference. Either they believe money coming from a black patron spends differently from a white patron or they are concerned I won't tip, but I will surely NEVER go back and would encourage others to do the same. read more

The reason I am giving this place a 1star is because they LIE. I asked for the basic pedicure (no 'stone' massage) and I got the up-priced lame stone massage. The guy that gave me the pedicure said 'oh but this is the one you really wanted. It is discounted' I wasn't going to pay for it but rather I am just taking my business elsewhere. REALLY PISSED. no tip either. Give me what i asked for. The whole thing with stone massages is stupid. Very few people can do them well. The previous pedicures I had there were okay. I did get a shellac manicure there rather than LaVie near Southpoint once. It was of poor quality. They dont have the selection of colors like my other place and the product they use is harsh. The product at LaVie is much much better. I came in after the woman next to me and we ordered the same package and I was done first. read more

I have been to many nail salons and I was dissatisfied with service and quality at Tips2Toes. They always try to push extra services on you. For instance they kept badgering me that I needed a new set of nails badly. 2 weeks prior I just had a new set put on--BY THEM! They always push eyebrow wax by making you feel guilty. Further, I often left with crooked and uneven nails. They are all about getting you in and out there. If you are not a regular you will not get the best person there. There prices are okay in general, but not for the quality of service there. PLUS, the older Asian man is REALLY rude. For some reason I had him several times. I do not have sensitive skin or nails but he would literally make me jump out of my seat hurting me! Ridiculous! I decided to take my set off and look elsewhere! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE. If you are in the are go to Princess that it is in the same plaza, you may have to wait there but it's worth it. If you ever decide to come here just because they're open and no wait, there is a HUGE reason, people is not coming to this place any more. Ready other reviews. My experience, after they told me a price and Charged me more, when I ask the owner of the business, she approached to me so close like in a threat way, with food in here mouth and talking to me and telling me that if I don't like her price I can go somewhere else, by than the work was already started, I said fine I pay her price since I need it, she still was yelling and speaking her language to others and everyone else talking in their language and continue telling me I can leave. I told her she should be ashamed of arguing that way with a client and I definitely not coming back. read more

I came to this place after trying MANY others. I'm not prissy, I'm not picky, I just like to make sure any nail salon I go to is above all, sanitary. I love seeing the autoclaves, disinfectant, the smell of bleach after each pedicure tub is used, etc. There are a lot of girls that work at this place, so the wait here, even if you're a walk-in is never long. I have a fairly erratic schedule and appreciate the fact that the girl that I usually go to always squeezes me in at the last minute if I'm in a jam. I've had several nail technicians do my nails there and they've all been friendly and thorough. I love the fact that I don't feel like I'm being rushed out so they can squeeze in the next customer. I usually only get pedicures here and sometimes manicures, so unfortunately, I can't tell you much about acrylics if that's your thing. However, by what I've seen, they do pretty good work here. Prices are way higher than what I'm use to, being from California. I was able to get a pedi/mani for $25 before moving here, but it seems to be the norm for mani/pedis to be $40+ around here. Tips 2 Toes charges $25-$28 for a spa pedicure and it's $40 if you want a mani/pedi. I know it might seem a bit crazy/hectic when you come in, but don't worry, they'll definitely take care of you! read more
