Tips and Toes

So gross. I have gone to this place for almost a year and I have been pretty pleased. However today I was getting a manicure and a customer was getting her eyebrows waxed and I noticed the lady working on her was redipping the same wooden stick. This is so gross and I am very happy that was not me. Think of all the germs if they do that accumulating in the wax melter. So gross.

Binh did a great job. $ 18 for express pedicure + $ 5 for French… Great price for the rochester area. The chairs were comfortable and they offer you a complimentary beverage

I’ll move these guys up to 4 stars. New management, I believe, has increased staffing such that they can accommodate walk-​ins without an eyeroll. Also, they seem to be more efficient lately, so it doesn’t take me 2.5 hours to get a simple mani-​pedi. This is no-​frills, but that is exactly what I want out of a nail salon! This isn’t a spa, people, if you’re looking for a relaxing day of pampering, you’re gonna need to aim higher than a nail salon in a strip mall. They do a nice job. I maintain my request for some Essie polishes, but all in all I am happy with this place and will continue to come back. They also have some new gel polish brand that eliminates the basecoat and seems to hold up really well. I’m pleased.

I used to come to Tips and Toes a lot previously until they became to busy to make any extra effort. My husband made an appointment for me and I went reluctantly. I was in and out of the chair in 20 mins, no toe separators so my wet polish got on my other toes, and little effort to clean it up. I will stick to the other company’s that let you relax and do good quality work.

About six months after writing about my experience, I got a message from Paulina, who identified herself as the new owner of the salon. She told me she was sorry that my group did not have a good experience and that she’d like us to try Tips and Toes again now that it’s under new management. My friend Amanda (the bride from my previous review) was going for a mani-​pedi soon, so I let Paulina know that.
I was really impressed with the amount of care they put into creating a good experience for my friend, and she had a great time! Everything ran much more smoothly and I was really impressed. Totally changing my tune on this place. While I still don’t know that I’d recommend it for large groups of more than 4, for a «girls day» of 2 – 3 folks, this place will do the trick.

After my sub par pedi experience-​these guys really made my day! Not only did the squeeze me in for a gel mani on a very busy day-​they were so pleasant and even fixed the mistake from my crappy pedi! Binh was very sweet and did a great job on the gels w my short nails-​and no drills!

Have been here a few times, but never again. So many better options in this town.
Rude service on more than one occasion.
The staff made me feel more awkward than welcome.
When I’m paying someone to pamper me, I want to feel relaxed. I don’t have that experience at this nail salon.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have Mia every time and she’s fantastic! She knows how to do awesome designs, she’s fast, she actually listens to what I want done, and she’s super friendly. I get my nails filled about every 3 weeks and it’s worth the price for quality! I’ve been to many other salons and I would recommend Tips N Toes over any others!

This nail salon was very clean but lacking in any sort of décor. It happened to be super busy the day that my daughter and I arrived and they were able to fit us in without an appointment. The employees were all very nice; however, I couldn’t quite understand their dress code. Some wore street clothes, some white jackets, and then there was one in sweatpants and a t-​shirt. Whatever, as long as my toes look pretty!
Prices were the usual for the Rochester area and they do charge less for a kids pedicure… it also comes with a cute design which my daughter thought was awesome! The pedicure was nice. It wasn’t the best or worst one I’ve had.

This is a very nice, clean, efficient, and reasonable nail salon. I like that the pedi spas are off to the back and you can enjoy a class of wine or soda while back there. The tubs are always clean and the massage chairs are really comfortable. The staff typically remember your name and where you work and are nice. This is one of the nicer nail places in Rochester I think for a mani/​pedi.
