About greentoes Nail Salon, Massage and Day Spa
Greentoes Nail Salon, Massage and Day Spa is a Tucson business centered on manicures, pedicures, massage therapy, and a broad selection of day spa treatments. Described by its owners as an eco-chic mani-pedi studio and day spa, Greentoes offers an eco-friendly approach to personal care in a setting that is relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious. The business has two Tucson locations, Greentoes Central near Downtown and the University of Arizona, and Greentoes North in the Casas Adobes area.
The studio's services include manicures and pedicures, facials, massage, body scrubs, waxing, and dermaplaning. Its spa menu also includes microneedling, red-light therapy, a hot stone sauna, a cold plunge, and a private Contrast Therapy Suite. The suite is designed for individual appointments and is not shared with other clients unless reserved as a couple's experience. It includes a red-light therapy panel, sauna, cold plunge, and private bathroom with an attached shower. Guests may use one therapy on its own or combine the available treatments, and the red-light panel can also be booked for a shorter session.
Greentoes places particular emphasis on the products and practices used throughout its services. The studio says it has selected organic and vegan product lines for both its retail offerings and its treatments, including organic skincare and nail products. Its nail services range from natural-looking manicures and pedicures to French manicures and customized nail art. The business also describes its nail services, facials, massage therapy, and body scrubs as being offered without exposure to harmful toxins often found in some nail salons and day spas. Strict safety and sanitation guidelines are part of the studio's stated approach.
The business began with Christina Rossetti Thompson, a native Tucsonan and full-time teacher who had worked in education since 1997. According to the studio's account, the idea for Greentoes came from a dream in December 2011 about slowing down and creating a place where people could find "Our Calm." Her husband, Victor Thompson, supported the vision, and Greentoes opened for business in October 2012. Christina later became ill after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2000 and was unable to continue operating the business. Victor took over Greentoes shortly afterward. A born and raised Tucsonan, he attended Canyon Del Oro High School and the University of Arizona, and his earlier work in the health and fitness industry included sales, marketing, and management.
Victor's background continues to inform the studio's focus on service, results, professional standards, and the needs of its clientele. Greentoes presents itself as a place for calm in the middle of a busy day, whether someone is coming in for a pedicure, a massage, a facial treatment, or time in the Contrast Therapy Suite. The Central location occupies a century-old building near Downtown and the University of Arizona, in an area described as being close to art, restaurants, and shopping. The North location is on Oracle Road and serves clients from Casas Adobes, the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, and Flowing Wells.
Visitors can begin by selecting a service and booking an appointment at either Tucson location. Greentoes also offers gift cards and certificates, organic skincare products, and group events. The studio's website features testimonials from clients who mention regular manicures and pedicures, French manicures, deep tissue massage, and relaxing appointments. Greentoes has also reported recognition from readers of Tucson Weekly, the Arizona Daily Star, and Lovin' Life After 50, including 2024 and 2025 honors connected to nail salon, massage, and other local categories.
