Tips & Toes Nail Salon & Spa

I went here a few months ago. At first I was happy but then when I was paying I was amazed by how expensive it was. I am used to $ 25 but it was much more. When I got home I noticed my feet were not soft and I realized they never actually scrubbed them with the hard sponge. What a rip off!!!

Love this place. In and out, very fast service and good work.

woot! happy hour is back! Monday– Thursday 10 – 2! The best shop of it’s kind in this area!

We needed a place near Woodinville or Redmond to do manicures & pedicures for a group of ladies in a bridal party. They allowed us to make an appointment for the group 2 weeks in advance. When we arrived, they accommodated all of us immediately. Most of the girls received gel manicures and regular pedicures. I received one of the spa pedicures which was lovely. I planned on getting a gel manicure but two of my nails broke earlier in the week and since I was getting married, I wanted my nails to look uniform and nice so I went with acrylic. I felt that my nails were huge and clunky, I asked them to be cut shorter and they refused, saying that it looked sexy long — ok fine, I can deal with length, but the acrylic was done really thick. It has been at least 10 years since I last had acrylic so I didn’t really remember how it should be, but my nails just didn’t look right to me — too long and too wide creating an obviously fake appearance. Today I went to a different nail shop for a fill and the lady commented several times on how thick and unnatural they looked. I am happy with the fill I received today and how she listened to me to cut them shorter and file down the thickness a bit. I can also use my phone and type again without getting irritated. I don’t recommend acrylic nails here but the pedicure was nice.

Hey, Guys! If you have been looking for a great spot to get a relaxing pedicure, this is the place. I just finished my fourth here with Linh, and I highly recommend the business and her. It’s a relaxing place to be, the equipment is state of the art and well maintained, and you’ll most likely be the only steer in with the herd
The attention to detail and your comfort and satisfaction is well worth the trip down Avondale.

Way too expensive ($ 65!) and slow for an ok gel mani and regular pedi.

The best pedicure I have ever had!!! I found Tips & Toes on Unilocal with 5 star reviews and brought my Mom, Sister and Brother-​in-​Law. We all were extremely happy and pleased with the whole experience. They are the cleanest most up to date place I have been too other than an actual spa\resort. The staff are nice and accommodating and add to the pleasurable experience. I highly recommend this place to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

I feel bad for giving this salon such a low rating because the ladies that do the mani pedis are very sweet and good at what they do, especially Cindy. But the man that works at the front is AWFUL. I have been to this salon 8 times and every visit he gets worse and worse. He is unbearably rude and at my last visit I was extremely tempted to get up and walk out with the way he was treating me for being 5min late to my appointment. He also laughed at me and made a huge scene in the middle of the salon because I didn’t warn them ahead of time that I had previously had acrylic nails. I am never going here again.

So I desperately want to give this place more stars because it’s close to home, décor is modern and new, and service was decent. However, I know I’m suppose to be impressed with the ceran wrap over the foot spa that is changed out between clients but I would be more comforted by a bottle of disinfectant and a scrub brush! I had a basic pedicure with a shellac manicure — I should have walked out the door as soon as I saw the «gel» polish. They tried to argue that it’s the same as the shallac brand (sorry, it’s not). So what did I get? A shellac manicure that cuts corners that doesn’t use the entire «shallac» system (cheaper for them) they used a shellac polish with the «gel» base/​overcoat. I’m sorry but it’s not the same, my nails were tacky and it looked dull after a few days.

Today, I had my fifth visit at Tips & Toes, and it will be my last trip here.
I always get a shellac manicure and classic pedicure. The first three visits were fantastic. Great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and decent pricing. The ladies who work there are friendly and have always done a great job.
My problem came with my fourth visit on June 20^th, 2015. I came in for an early mani/​pedi on the 19^th, but they were too busy so they weren’t able to fit me in. Totally understandable. I made an appointment for the morning of the 20^th. When I arrived for the morning appointment, I ended up waiting due to obvious overbooking. I was eventually seated and had a nice mani/​pedi. Three days later, my mani started to chip (they should last about 2 weeks). I was unable to get in to the salon for multiple reasons, but I expected some sort of apology or at least a discount of some sort.
I called after hours on Sunday 7÷5÷15, and I was called back on 7÷6÷15. I explained that my manicure had chipped, and due to that, my nails began to break (I get shellac to keep my nails strong). The man who helped me on the phone booked an appointment for later in the morning. When I arrived to the salon, I showed him my nails, and he argued with me about how the polish chipping would not cause the nails to break. Okay, maybe that is how he sees it from a business standpoint, but it was the salon who did the shellac, and they began chipping after 3 days.
I felt like I was being talked about behind my back, and I felt like I was being treated poorly. During my pedicure, the woman who did my nails kept roughly moving my legs and ended up cutting the skin on one of my toes. I explained that I am pregnant, and that moving my legs a certain way is painful, but she did not respond (only looked at me). No apology for the cut. When I had my nails done, she kept roughly moving my hands in the UV lamp, even though I have been getting shellac manicures for a couple of years now. When my nails were under the UV lamp for the last time, she opened my purse to get my wallet and asked, «You pay now?» I repeat: SHE OPENED MY PURSE TO GET MY WALLET. I told her not to touch my purse and that I would pay when I left. When she gave me my back massage, she pounded my back to the point I started coughing. She giggled and said, «Oh, it was too hard». She continued to use the same pressure.
As my husband put it, I was treated like someone who had complained. Yes, I did complain that my nails had started chipping. Has this happened before? Yes, but it was always fixed with courtesy. I was not rude when I explained what had happened.
I believe that Tips & Toes is getting a big head and treating customers poorly when they have been mildly inconvenienced. I paid full price and I left a normal tip. Goodbye Tips & Toes. I will find a place with MUCH better customer service.

My mom and I came to relax and have pedicure and manicure.
This is the cleanest, freshest place I’ve been!
I’m 4 years of trying countless places around town this is what I wanted.
The staff truly cares.
It is quite and calm.
No giant TVs blasting and people talking loudly.
Hope you give it a try and love it as much as I do!

Decent price and decent mani/​pedi.
I made an appointment for a regular mani/​pedi and was taken care of as soon as I arrived. The selection of colors is pretty good and I was able to find something that I liked. The lady who did my pedicure was great — she took her time and paid attention to the little details. The same lady did my manicure which ended up being ok. I got cut a couple times, but didn’t really notice until after leaving since the cuts were so small.
All in all, I can say it’s a good place for pedicures. I think I’ll have to try out the manicure here again before forming my opinion of them.

I had a great classic mani and pedi today. The salon is very clean and the team is very efficient. I called and made an appointment and I was seated on time, no waiying. I arrived early to select polish, so it was perfect. There is plenty of space in the salon so you don’t feel crowded.

I can’t say enough about this place. Über clean, separate pedicure tools used, and sanitary overs over the pedi bowls. I timed my leg massage today and it was between 4 – 5 minutes per leg, on the classic! I’m going to try to spa pedicure one day as they used hot stones and a parafin wax. Loved my gal today, but have never had s bad pedicure. Their chairs rock too. If you choose to turn the seat option on, it will massage your thighs and buttocks. Score! Do yourself a favor and get opened here!

So I’ve been here twice. The 1^st time I went, I got a spa pedi and gel mani. I asked for a specific design for my gel mani though, a half moon in pink and the rest of the nail in a light mint green color. The lady didn’t seem confident she could do it and sure enough, I didn’t like it. It was done very messily. The half moon did not look like a clean half moon. :(So I went back and told the owner (the only guy that is there. very nice Man) I wasn’t pleased and I would like them re-​done with only one color. He agreed and said he’d only charge me for the polish color change on my toes. I had my toes match the pink half-​moons on my nails… cuz i’m fancy like that.
So I change my color palette up completely to a lilac on my toes and hands. Cindy worked on me this time and did an excellent job. She even filed my nails to the almond shape I was initially going for the 1^st time. Wonderful!
Now, I only see Cindy and I’m so glad they resolved my dissatisfaction without me having to shell out any additional money, (besides the polish change on my toes, which was my choice!).
The girls are always very nice and there’s this certain lady, (I’ve got to get her name), that gives the BEST pedi’s ever with a smile. So lovely!
This is the best place in Redmond for a Mani/​Pedi.
Oh and happy hour is M-​F 10am-​2pm ya’ll! 15% all services. Whoop-​whoop! Lovin’ it!
I only go here. My nail salon search is over… after 1.5 years… yay! :)

I went in for a white tip on my acrylics. CINDY did an absolutely fabulous job. All I ask for when I go into a nail salon is that you understand what I want and have an eye and skill for quality nails. She did great, and the staff was friendly. The place was clean and felt welcoming.
I cannot wait to go back and see CINDY! :)

I have been to many salons in the Redmond area, and just when I think I found the best pace someone recommends Tips and Toes. To my surprise, it is by far the cleanest, most sanitized salon I have ever been in. Tmi love how the foot bath is wrapped in plastic so you know even though they spray it and clean it, they take every customer cleanliness a step further. The spa pedicure is the way to go. Rarely do I ever get any add ons such as hot stone massage, exfoliation scrub in either lemon or lavender, Rae honey rub, extra foot massage, and paraffin wax, but at Tips and Toes, these special add ons are all included!!! And it’s amazing!!!
I have not yet had a bad pedicurist. Cindy is amazing at nail art, and Mina gives excellent massages. The ladies are very into each individual needs and the host up front is very helpful in customizing your spa day!
Lastly, 15% off happy hour is the best perk! As a stay at home mommy, relaxation and pedicures are hard to come by, and having a special happy hour discount is enough to keep me coming back!!!
Well worth EVERY penny!!!

Pricey but worth every penny. My pedicure was the best I’ve had ever, or in a very long time. Mina was very sweet and did a wonderful job and I had my first nail art ever – she suggested it and I thought, «what the heck?» She took her time and was very thorough.
Cindy did my acrylic fill. What a pro and what a nice woman! She knew exactly what I wanted and did it when all other salons I’ve been to had no clue what I said I wanted (I like my nails a little wider so they’re not so narrow and funny-​looking on my hands). Then she did the same nail art that Mina did on my toes, on two of my fingers. They look beautiful! She was gentle and careful and definitely is at the top of her game!
I will be going back next time I need a fill and/​or pedicure – even though there are two salons within walking distance of my home in Duvall. It’s worth the 20-​minute drive.

Cindy is an artist with acrylics. She consistently gives me the best length and shape of anyone that has done my nails. We recently started doing designs and I Love what we came up with today.

One of the better and more reasonable places for a manicure I’ve gone in Washington, mostly because the massage doesn’t involve beating the crap out of my frail frail stick arms… or paying many many beans for something that is only temporary. Also, it’s helpful when none of the manicurists say they have hepatitis from traveling abroad. True story.
Overall atmosphere is conventionally «nice» (not like some of the terrible holes-​in-​the-​wall to which I’ve been), as well as professional, clean, and modern-​ish. The ladies are sweet and I enjoyed the atmosphere of non-​judgement as I kept changing my mind on colors. The manicure itself went well, the massage made me happy with its gentle brevity and the woman who did my cuticles was a boss at it, which is important to me. I mean honestly, sometimes the thought of getting mani-​pedis make me queasy for that reason: Beautification procedures should never draw blood… unless… no, nevermind.
