Star Nails

Used to have a great experience here– quality pedicures plus champagne. Quality seems to have gone down since my last visit. Long waits, cool water for manis and pedis instead of warm. Cut all my nails too short even after specifications, cut me under my toe nail, short massages, uneven nails, left a weird corner (had to get it fixed), back massage pads don’t work properly, uncomfortable manicure while getting pedicure (had to cross my arm over my body the whole time, didn’t take care of all my fingernail cuticles. Not my favorite experience for sure.

cons:
bad.
polish watered down.
long wait times.
cold water.
dirty tools.
pros:
consistently bad.
great massage chairs to distract from cold water, long wait times and foot mangling with filthy instruments.
ample parking so the walk to car with bloodied feet is tolerable.
cheap.

I’ve been coming here about 4 years now and very rarely have had a bad experience. They give a FULL pedicure and have very decent prices! They even accommodated my entire bridal party the day before my wedding.

This place is awesome!!! They were so knowledgable! Anne was able to fix my terrible situation with acrylics from some other place!!! She’s awesome! She was real and honest. June was amazing with my pedicure… Magic hands is what she is. For once I was able to relax which barely ever happens!!! I will be back and definitely recommend you to check it out!!!

This is my favorite nail salon. I have been going her for over ten years. Their prices are more than reasonable, you are always treated well and given great service. They will do nearly anything you ask within reason and do it well and efficiently. I recommend them for ALL my friends who want to get nails done. You ladies (and gents) are the best!!! xxxxoooo

Every time I go to Star Nails, I end up waiting for at least 45 minutes. They let so many people come through the door and seat them but don’t attend to them for a long time. Instead of telling the customers they should come back because the wait time is through the roof, they will sit you in a chair and walk away. With this location always being busy, you would think that they would have more staff handy but they never do so they end up rushing on your nails and doing a mediocre job which is frustrating speaking as though it’s not cheap to put shellac on your nails. Needless to say, I will never be going back here.

Quality has gone down since my last visit. As has quickness. Taking longer and looking worse isn’t what I was going for. 45 minutes for a basic pedi is ridiculous. And my toes look like I let my cat chew on them. I have an issue with ingrown toenails, always have. She dug with no concern for discomfort, butchered the sides of my toes, then doused them with alcohol while pinching the *#@! out of the throbbing things. The polish looks like crap too. :(

I will come back! $ 28 for a pedicure and the women did a great job. The space has many chairs so you don’t have to wait. They also have a good polish selection with lots of Essie (I don’t like OPI).
I just think the prices at some of these spas are so inflated. The prices her are reasonable and they take good care of your feet.

Pedicures of any kind are very comfortable.
There is usually no wait, but if there is you can relax, soak your feet in the warm water, and adjust the massage chair to your liking. Ahhhh!
It’s perfect! They always ask if you would like a water. Once the pedicure begins, no small talk is necessary. You can browse through the many magazines they have, or catch up on work emails.
A light foot massage concludes the pedicure.
You leave with strong nail game, feeling like a part of you just got renewed.
Pedis are great for dates or couples. The date/​significant other can just skip the color. It’s one of the greatest win-​wins, since you didn’t have to awkwardly clip your man’s gross toe nails at home. Instead, y’all can hold hands, chat about whatever, and both of you walk out with perfectly manicured, nice-​smelling feet.

Can I give it NO stars? They advertise alterations. DO NOT USE. I took in a new, never worn skirt. I should have realized when they had to look for pins and the girl had no idea how to mark it that I was in the wrong place, but I somehow thought it would get better. It came back wadded in a ball, stitched unevenly, with a raw edge all around the inside hem if the skirt. I said that it wasn’t right and I wanted to speak to the manager — not there. They scheduled an appointment for me for the next week with the alterations lady. I was there, she wasn’t. Skirt was still not right. They took it back again, said come back later and talk to manager. Third trip back, manager took skirt back, said come back next day. 4^th trip back, it is close to right if you don’t mind all of the extra stitching holes, foue trips, and then being asked to pay. This is not the way to run a business. They should get out of the alterations business.

I’ve been here a few times to get pedicures with a girlfriend. The service and time spent here is never consistent. Sometimes we’ll get a great nail tech who does good work on your feet, gives an excellent foot/​leg massage and can get it all done quickly without leaving you feel deprived. Other times we get techs that do a half-​ass job pampering your paws and take FOREVER to get it done (2 hours or more). During my last visit, the tech neither cut or filed my nails.
Also, they like to make the foot soak water scalding hot. Eventually you’re feet get used to get, and/​or it has time to cool down, but I’m a ninny and don’t like putting my feet in boiling water and watching them turn super pink! Wahhh Wahhh Wahhhh!
I noticed during my last visit that they’re utilizing used/​not obviously sterile supplies. Other nail salons I’ve been to you can see them retrieving the supplies from sanitizers or they’re already pre-​packaged. Not here. In fact, the same scrub brush with blue dawn soap that she used on the bottoms of my feet, the nail tech then used to «clean» some utensils before putting them back in her drawer. I hope they’re cleaning these supplies where I just can’t see…
Gross when you think about it too much!
The staff here are friendly and after visiting a few times, they’ll remember your name. I love the (albeit, rather old) massage chairs and being served a cold drink upon arrival.

Thom (pronounced tome) is the absolute BEST! I only get my mani pedi from her! She is very gentle with her work and extremely thorough!
I’m an OCD perfectionist so sadly it’s quite a plus!
Not to mention I’m tomboy-​ish, so I normally feel out of place and uncomfortable in the nail salons. Not here! Love love love this place!

My new pampering palace!
What I love about this particular nail salon is that it’s very clean and the nail skills are the bomb! I’ve visited this salon about 3 times in the past two months and I always leave happy. I get acrylic nails but they look like gel nails because of their lasting gloss and neat polish job. I also like that it’s conveniently located in a strip mall of eateries and other shops. I like to eat McAllister’s Deli or Honey Baked Ham before I go in.
The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t offer hot stone massages with the pedicures. That’s my favorite thing to get and it sucks, but their overall lotion massages are just as good. They are gentle with your skin.
You’ll probably spend an average of $ 50 for a full set/​pedicure. It’s worth it here.

I’ve been going here for over 3 years and they are amazing! I’ve rarely had a problem here. Everyone there is extremely kind and does a great job. They have all of the latest colors and do great nail art. I highly recommend this location.

Really good pedicure and manicure… I’m just not a fan of getting the mani at the same time, while I’m in the pedicure chair next to my mom, talking, and they’re listening to every word of your conversation and continually interrupting you. Other than that, good work, reasonably priced, polish lasted long before chipping.

The following review is for waxing only:
DO NOT under ANY circumstances come here for a wax. I’ve always been leery of cheaper salons for waxing, but needed my arms done last minute and figured how bad could it be. The answer, really really bad.
I called in advance and was quoted one price by two different people, but when i got to the salon i was told that was only the base price and it would be higher. I should’ve stopped there.
Wax room and setup is fine but apparently more for looks than anything else. I wasn’t given any of the «pre-​wax cream» displayed on the table. They also use some cheap-​looking thin green wax. Its less than sanitary considering the esthetician double-​dipped with only one stick the entire time. She reused the same piece of muslin over and over while paying no attention the the direction of hair growth. It was like playing wax strip Jenga!
At the end I was left with huge red patches from where she waxed and treated my skin, huge patches of wax, and greasy arms from the hand lotion she slathered on them. They also skipped my hands (unlike most places which include them). Finally, when I pointed out the leftover wax she attempted to scrub it off using nail polish remover, leaving my skin burning even more. She obviously didn’t bother to use either the «wax remover» lotion or «after wax cream» also in full display on the table.
Well… at least my arms are hairless?

Thank you for autoclave tools, a great color selection and no judgement re: wild brows and the feminine foundation for an Abe Lincoln beard.

Second visit’s the charm! I had a really great pedicure here last week and my only regret is that I didn’t get the girl’s name.
For starters, she used a razor to chop away all that dead skin that has been plaguing me. I realize the razor is frowned upon by many people, but with my high arches, the calluses are ghastly, so I need that damn thing. And if I’m paying 25 bucks for a pedicure, well, I expect to walk out without calluses. A vigorous scrub just isn’t gonna do it. The nail cutting and polish job, also perfect one week later.
Bonus: my nail tech did not hate me. No mutterings across the room which I translate to mean nothing complimentary. No, «oh my god, your nails are so short, why?» And no foot cramp-​inducing massages as punishment either.
Why, oh why did I not get her name???

My fiancée suggested on a rainy Sunday afternoon we go and enjoy a pedicure together. I have not submitted to this procedure since before the failure of the federal levee system. And she talked me into a manicure also. I am so easy.
It appears that I may be the first male and perhaps the only male to review a place on Unilocal to have your nails done. At least I did not have to fret over what color of paint to select for the nails. I am open minded but there is a limit.
Personally I truly believe that women try to make a visit to a place like this very feminine. And they have been successful in doing so over the decades. Getting your nails done, hands and feet, is for women and men don’t do that.
That way men don’t try it or experience the feeling. That way men don’t become customers. That way the place is not overrun with men and women are in and out faster with men staying away. Once I grew up about life and women I have determined that overall women are smarter than men.
Oh, this is to be a review of the business. Sorry I went off a bit. The place is nice and you don’t need a reservation. The services are standard and not anything fancy dancy but adequate. Nice music in the background and the tools used are taken from a secured pouch for you. By that I mean you are serviced with clean utensils.
The staff was friendly. Heard a lot of a foreign language that to me was Vietnamese. Not bad since it is a beautiful language second in my book only to French.
For relatively quick service without a reservation, nice people, and the basics served with a smile and cold water or a Diet Coke this was not a bad way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.
There is another better way but I am not going there.

This place is really professional and relaxing to be in. The staff here really know what they’re doing and the atmosphere is friendly.
My nails came out really nice (french manicure) and the prices are pretty standard ($ 12/​manicure+$ 3 for french).
**If you come here to get a pedicure, you get a complimentary drink. Also they don’t judge if your feet are gross and my feet were pretty gross…**
