How it's used
Refers specifically to the final days of the week, typically Saturday and Sunday, functioning similarly to the concept of the weekend. It is a very common, natural way to talk about one's upcoming schedule or past activities compared to the more formal 周末.
Examples
Do you have any plans for the end of the week?
I want to go hiking at the end of the week.

rest at the end of the week
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 週末, which is the standard term for weekend. While 星期尾 is perfectly acceptable in casual speech, using it in formal writing or professional contexts might sound overly informal.
