Tips N Toes Nails

I will never go there again. I had 3 different people work on me. I asked for ombré nails, the Lau didn’t know what i was talking about, even though i had a picture for her to go off of. At one point i had to paint my own nails bc she could not do the glitter gradients, from a lot of glitter to a little. She did a strip of glitter instead, so i had to paint 3 of my own nails. I should have to especially when i was charged 38 $

Feeling pretty disappointed. I got a gel manicure which costed $ 30. The nails came out bumpy and the nails were filed down differently. Some of my nails were round and some were squared. The nail polish was not cleaned around the cuticles. The lady who did them also nicked me with the dremal a few time and over trimmed my cuticles. I also thought it was pretty unprofessional that she had 3 hickies on her neck and was wearing a white tank top and shorts, showing too much skin in my opinion. I don’t need to see all that.

I love Long. I came in with some rushed full set from US Nails & Long fixed me up. When you come in ladies, ask for Long. He’s the best! I came in for a nail color change.

I was in Killeen visiting my sister, after a day of shopping we decided to try this salon on our way home. My sister lives close so we figured we would stop in. The place was crowded and loud, not a place to relax. The chairs looked really dirty and the whole place was not clean. No plastic bags in the bowls which made me nervous. The lady that did my toes was forceful and bossy. She was so rough and actually made my toe bleed. She told me the color I picked for my toes was ugly and attempted to convenience me to get another color. I was not able to relax at all and as I write this review my toes are still sore. I can honestly say that this was the worse nail salon I have been to, WE WILL NOT RETURN.

Extremely noisy, not relaxing at all. Waited an hour before I got to soak my feet for an extra twenty minutes. I could’ve painted my toes to look like this myself.

Very rude, poor service !! I will never go back, the pedicure chair part your feet in was dirty. When asked about it she said she cleaned it even though stuff was floating in the water. After waiting to get my nails done they told me the man could not do my nails that someone else was waiting when clearly I had walked in there 45 mins ahead of them and they didn’t have an appt ! I walked out and went to the nail shop across the street from Heb THEY GAVE GREAT SERVICE !!!

Second time here and I’ve been looking for a place that is reasonably priced and that does a great job. I will tell you this, I will only come here as long as I live in killeen. Go see Macy she is amazing. She cleans your toes soooo good. Massge is invigorating but amazing! I always get a deluxe pedicure $ 28 I will never go anywhere else!!! I don’t know how she is on designs though. Happy customer all the way!

I love the staff here! They’re very friendly and do a good job. Overall, 4 stars because their regular acrylic nails aren’t the best I’ve ever gotten but I absolutely love the job they do with my pink and white nails! Eyebrow waxing is very hit or miss depending on who does it though.

Yesterday I went to this place with my daughter and my friend’s daughter to do our nails n pedicure done together. The staffs are very gossiping and staring at us the entire time in Chinese languages. When I did my nails the young man just took off to smoke while he had a lady to take over. As soon as I was done with my nails, I was seated in a massage chair … The woman forgot to turn on the massage and was not telling me the prices for the package and didn’t ask me what I wanted … A day after our visit my heel was still not entirely done right with scrubbing and the painting on nails had fallen poff. My daughters nails they painted was faded. I m sure they had cheap products. I had to go over the next day to have them redo it even through they wanted to charge me other $ 80 ($ 25 each for my daughter n mine pedicures & $ 30 full set nails, I had to argue them for the horrible job. Needless to say there was a little boy belong to one of the staff, he was asleep on the massage chair and was crying as well cranky.

I went to this nail shop this past weekend… fooled by the pictures. Don’t be fooled by the pics. I called in advance to ask how much a mani/​pedi was? I was told $ 30 and $ 7 for eyebrows. This shop is very clean and looks beautiful at first glance, however, the spa chair i sat in for my pedicure was broken. But it was the only one available, as all the others chairs had customers. Everytime they turned on the spa jets, the jet thingy inside the water kept falling off. So let’s just say it didn’t start off on the right foot. No one ever told me that the pedicures have special packages, and that other stuff cost more. After the initial soak, and scrape of my feet, the tech was putting lotion on. I had to ask him to go back and scrub the parts he missed. I was expecting to get a warm towel but on my legs and feet, like the lady next to me. Only that didn’t happen. So after getting my toes polished, I asked about it, and was told I didn’t pick that package. WHAT PACKAGE! I walked in, said I wanted a mani/​pedi and was told to sit in #6. That’s it! No menu of packages… no custom items to enhance my pedi, just have a seat. Oh well too late, nothing I can do now. I have polish on my toes. So when it came down to the manicure, it was worse! I have never had a manicure without soaking my fingers in soapy water. I was given a bowl of plain warm water and told to soak… for all of 30 seconds. Then this female tech comes and start cutting my cuticle. OUCH! Since it isn’t soft, she actually hurt my fingers several times. Next thing I knew she was putting lotion on my hand. I never even got a chance to WASH my hands. as i was still sitting in the pedicure chair. My hands were very grimy when I walked in. I knew this, but I also figured, that i would be able to wash them after the cuticle oil was put on my fingers. Wrong again. My hands were wiped with a dry towel, and my fingers were sprayed with alcohol. Next thing I knew she was putting top coat on my fingers. WAIT A MINUTE! Are you even going to scrape the dirt from under my nails, i asked and she said… where show me the dirt. Are you serious, dirt automatically looks dark under nail beds… at least 4 fingers had dirt!! So she scraped them and then finished polishing. At this point, having my eyebrows done was not going to happen… didn’t want to walk out missing an eyebrow. So I got ready to pay, and the same chick, charges me $ 35. Wait… what! Then she smiles and says oh i sorry… my mistake, we void it! That’s alot of mistakes from this shop. So then when I told her, that because of her mistake, my card would decline, because the money was just temporarily processed, she got all huffy about me paying. I just transferred the money on my phone, so i could get out of there. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I GO THERE! The part that makes it sooo bad, was i was willing to spend a lot on the mani/​pedi and eyebrows, because my husband was sending me there as a pregnancy spa day, i’m due in a few weeks, and he just wanted to make me feel special. Thanks to Tips N Toes, it really was a horrible experience! I’d rather go to the nail shop in the hood, that may not be so clean, and have better service than this!

I’ve been going to this place for about a year. It’s just down the road from me and they are open late and on sundays. I’ve always enjoyed it there. As a previous review stated, Viv is amazing her nails, pedicures and waxing jobs are really good. Her and the lady that sits next to her do the most amazing artwork on your toes (we had a good laugh once with my friend when the both of us requested: everything BUT flowers! After chitter chatter between Viv and her Coworker, come to find out that this is a term hard for them to understand, just say: NO FLOWERS! lol) Recently I started working again so I cannot go during the day but when I showed up the last 4 times I was HIGHLY disappointed! Viv was only there on the last visit, and even though I had made an appointment and was 5 minutes early, she sat somebody else before me. I waited 30 minutes, as I thought maybe the lady just needed a quick nail fix, then I left and I will not go back! The other three times I was either turned away because it was «late» (6PM) and the gentleman told me my nails were fine and didn’t need a fill (after 3 weeks!?!), then saw them close shop when i left. They just didn’t want to work. The next time the other «new» guy from Dallas, just patched up my nails and said I was good to go. The nails were rippled and peeled the next day and another time I waited 1 ½ and just left. What a waste of time. I hate it! This seems to be the thing in the area, once owners notice that they have a great shop/​store/​salon/​restaurant/​etc and have a good amount of customers, it always goes to crap. No bueno.

Ive gotten my nails here twice and both times I was very pleased. Tan did an awesome job on my gel polish nails. Anne did a good pedicure. Viv does awesome brow waxing!!! I’m very picky when it comes to my brows and she passed my test! Overall I think I found my new nail salon.
