I recently moved to Oracle and hadn't had my nails filled since my last appointment in early December. After reading reviews and asking for recommendations in a local Facebook group, I chose a nail shop I thought would be a good fit. Unfortunately, after getting a fill and requesting ombré, the results were nowhere near what I asked for. Later that day, I stopped by a local hair salon and asked if they had any nail tech recommendations. They referred me to Tipsy Nails. When I got home, I looked them up and decided to call to see how much it would cost to fix my nails. The gentleman I spoke with told me to come in and said his wife would take care of me. When I arrived, I was greeted by Eva, and she immediately got to work. She took one look at my nails and explained that she would need to start completely over. She removed all of the acrylic that had just been put on--and I'm so glad she did. The new set she gave me is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the results. Eva truly saved my nails, and I'm so grateful I found Tipsy Nails. Highly recommend! read more

The gentleman Pum (Sp? I may have that name wrong ) gave me a great pedicure and excellent foot rub. I enjoyed the lemongrass smelling hot towel. Relaxing music. read more

I am a senior man, who wants my toenails clipped as short as possible. I find the male staff does a better job cutting my nails so short using the nail clipper in this photo. read more

Tipsy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

I really wanted to like this salon since it is close to home... but I can't. I've been there twice, and both times the atmosphere was very LOUD. The technicians are not friendly to the customer. They seem quite happy to be in their own little world, engaging in conversations with each other in their own language- especially when they can SHOUT to each other from the front to the back of the salon. Literally. If you like a lively atmosphere then this could be the place for you. As for me, after a long day at work I want to relax in a peaceful place. This ain't it. Eva did my nails the first time I went, she did a nice job. Yet she took a phone call while doing my nails and talked for close to 5 minutes. It's just rude behavior. I want back a second time since Eva did a nice job, and I was willing to give it a second chance, but I didn't get her this time. I got Annie instead. She was rather grumpy. Maybe she was tired after a long day, I get that, but I also got the feeling she did not want to do any more nails. She yanked on my hands a couple of times. And her work was mediocre. I noticed the next day that the dip was uneven on the surface of a few of my nails. It was thick toward the nail bed, thinner in the middle of my nail and thick at the tips. So thick in fact that I had a hard time picking up things later on. Then one my nails cracked in the middle after I banged my finger on something. I think it cracked because the dip was so thin in the middle. It was a painful break. They charge a fee for credit cards too. It's cheap and tacky. I don't think it is the cleanest place, but "cleaner" than other salons that I have been to. I'm giving it 2 stars - only because Eva's work was good. read more

A business which caters to Oro Valley residents but boldly exhibits a sign announcing an extra charge for credit cards is foolish, for they surely will lose the same percentage in repeat clientele opportunities. You must rethink that strategy. Talking in a different language than your customers is also rude as we tend to think you are talking about us. read more

This is my second time visiting this nail salon both times in which they were able to accept me as a walk-in. Eva took the time and attention to detail and we ended up with this beautiful marble design that matched her jade bracelet spot on. I wasn't for sure what I wanted and Eva surprised me with a masterpiece. I'm always happy with the service and they care that goes into each visit and I will be going to Eva from here on out thank you tipsy nails read more

Tipsy Nails - My wish was granted at Tipsy Nails. Told the Owner/manicurist l was wearing black and white and voila'...Love it there. - Nail Salons Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

Stay away from this place. Very unhygienic and really should be closed down. The girl made me bleed. They are tired and in no mood to do a good work. At least this particular girl. She barely changed the towel below my feet, they don't provide you sandals nor they offer you water. read more

Love this place!! Kathy and all the staff are awesome! If I've ever had any issues, they make sure it's dealt with and I leave happy. I've been a dedicated customer here for years. Kathy will go out of her way to learn to do specific designs as well. read more

Service is always good in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Olivia is very good and does a great job. We always laugh and have fun too.

Unprofessional and rude service. I don't know how this business establishment is still in business. Once you walk in, the overwhelming odor of chemical overtakes you and the entire staff has zero etiquette on customer service and very low quality in their work. The technician Lee almost cut off my finger while taking off my dip fingernail polish. She was so impatient and rough I was terrified the entire time. I endured because i had so many chips and had to have them removed.... Did not realize taking polish off was going to be so horrifying. I will never ever come back to this nail salon. Health department should seriously look into this business. Tipsy nails will leave you very "tipsy" with anxiety. Very scary experience. read more

I have had 3 services so far at this nail salon. Each time my service has been efficient and the quality of the work is excellent. I will continue to return and recommend this place to others read more

I have been driving 45 mins one way to this salon for a very long time. I am also not one to complain or knock down a business for having a bad day. We are human. I went in for a pedicure and full set. They didn't listen to me about having gelX on my toes and did a standard gel pedi. During the pedicure, they tech kept burning/cutting me with the file. Fast forward to my nails, I have red regular polish on my nails. The tech did not fully remove the polish, so red is still on the sides of nails under the acrylic. He only put primer on one hand for the acrylic to adhere to the nail. I had to remind him of that as well as the fact there was still red polish on my thumb that hadnt been removed. I asked for a cute design. I wanted French tips and daisys in color. Throughout my entire "manicure" the tech proceeded to rip on my arms and very roughly flip my hands. He stated: Stop, I don't play! when designing time came he threw an attitude and then proceeded to paint my entire nails. They look HORRID! My nails are crooked, uneven lengths etc. Extremely disappointed. read more

Do not go here unless you want to be disappointed all the time. I have gone to OV posh for years and always went to Mike. He moved to tipsy nails not to long ago and ever since he has not listened to me what I have wanted.i have had him remove all my nails multiple time because I ask for square and he continues to keep doing coffin because it "suits me better"but that's not what I ask for. My most recent visits was the most disappointing. For reference, the nails I wanted is in the top left corner and the picture under it are what I got. Never will I ever be going again read more

Tipsy Nails - Really bad fill already falling apart - Nail Salons Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

I've been going here for the last year and they gave done an ok job. However, I had a pedicure last night and it was a very miserable experience. My water was only lukewarm, barely any massage, and $52 later! The worst part is the lady who was doing my pedicure! She was so annoying because she talked in her language the entire time nonstop for over an hour and talked Betty fast and loud. I come to get a pedicure to relax and this was very annoying. I just sanded my pedicure to be over and get out. I left with a migraine and very irritated? They really should be a little more considerate of their clients! I won't be going back! read more

Great place. Excellent service. My pedi last so long. I would highly recommend coming here

After receiving a pedicure here, I had developed a nasty infection in my toe from improperly sanitized tools by the very next afternoon. I've gotten pedicures at many salons almost monthly for years and I had fortunately never had this happen before this point. My toe is extremely painful and weeping puss. I paid a ridiculous amount of money just to leave with an infection. It's apparent that sanitation practices are questionable here at best and I absolutely would not recommend this place. In the meantime I will be hoping I don't develop athlete's foot as well (since there's no telling what else I could've been exposed to), as that's much harder to get rid of than bacteria. It's absolutely scary to think about what you can be exposed to at places like this that don't autoclave their equipment. read more

I have been going to Kathy for about a year now! I have acrylic nails and always get gel polish. She is always willing to indulge my requests for fun designs! Sometimes she dies her own, other times I provide a little inspiration. I go about every 3 weeks. My nails last and rarely ever break. I also like Lyn for pedicures! She is meticulous about taking care of my feet! read more

Usually happy with the service but today a pretty young tall girl did my nails and just has a bad attitude. She behaved as if she were doing me a favor. Not coming back. read more

I see Mike for my nails and pedis, I've been going to him for 8 or 9 years. He's very professional and very good! He can always fit me in when I need something last minute! You won't be disappointed? read more

Oro Valley Don't bother! Staff was not that friendly, sanitation not that great, one nail tech wanted to start an argument after an immunocompromised person sitting next to me, who politely asked her to put a mask on. She put the mask on, then proceeded to be rude, unfriendly during the whole service. read more

I was in the area and was in the need for pedicure before I go out of the town for bachelorette party. The staff was friendly and welcoming as I walked in. I picked out my polish and picked the pedicure set. It was going really well and as soon technician said he was done and I could stay until my nails are dry. As I was sitting in the chair, waiting for my nails to dry and paid for the service with 20% tip. Five minutes later, he rushed me out and tell me that I need to go. I haven't had the chance to test my nails to see if they're already dry and let alone put my shoes on. I was shocked at the rudeness that I experienced and the salon was not that busy. There were two customers. Needlessly to say, I wouldn't be coming back. read more

First time here. I saw T. T. She did an excellent job. She paid specific attention to cleaning up the cuticles and sides of my fingernails (which gets rushed and poorly done a lot of times) as well as being meticulous with painting my nails. I left very happy. read more

1st time visiting had the basic manicure and talk about basic, water dish to soak my nails was dirty. Over priced for the quality of work, I basically got a no frill manicure for $18 bucks. Technicians all seemed pretty friendly with each other but not with clients. Day three and nail is polish already coming off. read more

I started seeing Kathy the owner a couple months ago after going to many salons and leaving unhappy. I truly believe she gives the best dip manicures. Unfortunately she is away on vacation and I had to see Mary. Before seeing Mary I asked if she did manicures similar to Kathy and was told YES. So I trusted her to work on my nails and instantly regretted it. She was rough, unprofessional, and rude. when I mentioned that Kathy always leaves my nail even and thin she rudely proceeded by saying "Well I'm not Kathy". I will not be going back until Kathy returns and I recommend avoiding Mary. read more

Ehhh, it was ok. The employees don't interact with the clientele and just talk and laugh amongst themselves. The pedicure itself was fine but it always makes me uncomfortable when the workers talk and laugh in another language. read more

If I could give a negative star I would. The infection control and sanitation in this place is Abhorrent. The customer service is Non existent. The woman (Kathy) that did my nails cut me three times and my hands hurt so bad. My nails were an awful shape and I asked her to file them down "ok, I file and you pay more money" I left paying over $70 for a shitty job and my hands looking horrific! The cuts were throbbing the next day. I also notice when she was putting the gel polish in, the brush was separated. Then I got into my car, I could see the brush lines on the nails. I will NEVER go yo this place again. I'm sorry for giving them a chance! Customer BEWARE !!!! read more

Amazing place!!! Love Kathy They do powder nails and tiger nails too!! Beautiful designs. Very reasonably priced! Always on time when I schedule an appointment They have a loyalty program for discounts as well. read more

Quick easy and we'll priced. Went in at 10am for a manicure and they sat me immediately and was out in 40 min

Great experience. I had my nails done for the holidays, I was happy with the results. The fake nails lasted a month.

The entire staff here is just so friendly. They did such a great job and didn't rush. Would absolutely recommend compared to others

I was recommended to go here by a friend and have fallen in love. I used to do the shellac polish, but have recently switched to dip and will never go back to shellac. I love going here because they are great at walk ins and last minute appointments. Since I have been both, they were able to fit me in and I haven't once felt rushed! I also like my nails super short, and everywhere I went wouldn't go as short as I liked. They didn't even question me on my decision of short nails and just made sure I liked what they were doing! 5 stars all the way across the board read more

Tipsy Nails - green nails (747) with simple ring finger design - Nail Salons Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

I have been going to Tipsy nails for two years. I have had other manicures (dip & pedicure) in 3 other Oro Valley salons in as much time. Hands down TIPSY NAILS DOES THE BEST work, I won't go anywhere else. Thank goodness I found them. My nails are perfect when I leave and last for at least 3 weeks at a time even though I knit , crochet, and type. I get compliments wherever I go, though compliments are the least of it. I make an appointment so my visit is scheduled and I don't add stress to a busy salon that really TAKES THE TIME to do BEAUTIFUL, TOP-NOTCH work. There are times they TAKE CUSTOMERS RIGHT AWAY, but sometimes I see customers walk in and expect technicians to be waiting for them and they get an attitude. I never understood this mentality because if you go to a restaurant you make a reservation so you know there is a place for you and that you get the best service and the staff is not rushed or stressed. It just makes for a better experience for everyone. Also, I give them kudos, because they deal with the public every day and I've seen many people be obnoxious and rude to them every time I'm in the shop. I don't think I could do it as well as they do. Thank goodness most people are nice. If you can't MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (even by calling 15 minutes ahead) you are welcome to wait but there is good shopping near buy, so you can do errands. Teamwork is a good thing :). The COLOR SELECTION is amazing and the staff can get VERY CREATIVE if you like art on your nails. The salon is clean and comfortable and the staff and clientele are friendly if you are into having a conversation. If not, you can bury your head in your phone and know that YOUR NAILS ARE GOING TO BE STUNNING when they are finished. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO, trust me!!! I highly recommend this salon and its skilled technicians. They have GREAT HOURS, they are even open on Sunday and you will be extremely happy after your appointment is finished. - signed-perfectionist local customer :) read more

I was a walk in this afternoon and was seen by Kathy! This women is amazing!!!! The environment was peaceful, the staff was friendly, and the finishing product was more than I could have imagined! I told Kathy what I had come up with for a design, she ran with everything I wanted and gave my idea a final touch and I knew Kathy would be my nail lady for life! Hands down the best nail salon i have ever been too! (Im from the east coast so ive gotten nails done in several states). Highly recommend this salon to anyone who needs some TLC. read more
