I've been going to Tips and Toes every two weeks for the last few months for a standard gel manicure with French tips.
It's typically pretty quiet during the week. I stopped in today (Saturday) and got right in without having to wait, but I can definitely see them getting busy enough that an appointment may be more convenient.
The girls who do my manicure are always polite and friendly... Quiet if anything, but I don't mind using the hour to relax and zone out. I really appreciated the attention to detail my gal paid today; even though they had a full shop she didn't make me feel rushed at all, and took the time to go over her work.
My only gripe is that sometimes I am charged $25 and other times it's $30.. for no apparent reason? I'm not one to get upset over $5, I just find it odd.
