Star Nails and Spa

I came to this salon because the one I usually go to was booked for the day. I came in and no one was in the salon except for the employees. As soon I as I walked in everyone was very warm and welcoming. My pedi/​mani was a reasonable price and looked great. Also the salon was very clean. If you usually go to Stop for Nails try and check this place out as they are less busy and very nice.

I just love the new management!!! I think I have found my new favorite salon. All the girls were so nice and quick! I would suggest Star Nails to anyone, and that’s saying a lot since I drive all the way from Puyallup to get my nails done by Sarah!!!

Love this place! The owner of the place is efficient, friendly and professional! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I recommend star nails to everyone.

I came in on a Monday at 11:30am and was hesitant because of the poor reviews. Maybe I just got lucky because they did a great job. I was the only person there and I got in right away. They did a great job on my manicure and polish. I was expecting the worst. Happy customer! Only complaint was the hand massage wasn’t hard enough. But hey, I came in for a manicure, not a massage so I can’t complain! :)

This place offers the best value for a pedicure I’ve ever been. And when I say «value», I don’t just mean this is the least-​expensive pedicure ever; I mean that this is the best pedicure at a very competitive price. The best pedicure you can get underneath your Gene Juarez’s/eastside/downtown high-​end spas.
For $ 20 dollars my feet are soaked, polish removed, nails cut, cuticles pushed and trimmed, nails buffed, feet pumiced, feet and legs exfoliated, massaged and moisturized, and nails painted — and they do an EXCELLENT JOB. I’ve been coming here for about 2 years and I’ve NEVER had a bad pedicure. Thus anywhere else I go that charges more for a pedicure (which is basically everywhere), I feel like I’m paying too much. And every other salon that I’ve looked for in the $ 20 up to $ 30 range I’ve been disappointed because they just don’t do as good a job as the ladies here do. So, I never go anywhere else for a pedicure but here. Designs, shellac and gel tips on toes will cost extra but reasonable. They also do some really cute nail designs and they’re quite well done. For any men that come here, I know the foot massage is the highlight of your visit: it’s usually only a couple minutes, more if they’re not busy, so depending on your expectations, be advised of that.
The salon is quite clean, and they have an autoclave for tools. I did see an earlier comment about the pumice stone and files being re-​used per customer, and I wanted to share my own recent revelation (by Sally’s beauty supply, not this salon) that those tools can be sanitized in the autoclave also. Whether this salon does that in between every customer, I couldn’t say, but I thought I’d share because it brought me some peace of mind.
All that said, I have to say in all honesty that getting a manicure is for some reason a little different, thus the four stars instead of five. While the price is as competitive as the pedicures are, I have had some slightly disappointing manicures here. I don’t get mani’s very often — for me I just can’t afford to. Nothing too terrible, but just… kind of off; the little things, ya know? My recommendations: ask for Kim (usually you don’t need an appointment here, but for a mani it wouldn’t be a bad idea), get shellac if you can (shellac is my favorite and I think for this salon it’s the best manicure product for your money), and if you do get gel tips specify how thin you want them (maybe that is just my preference but otherwise the gel gets layered on pretty thick).
They also offer waxing but I can’t speak to that because I’ve never gotten it here. Prices seem competitive.
All the employees speak Vietnamese as their first language, they speak pretty good English but the accents are a little thick. They all have a really good sense of humor and have been kind and polite to me.
So to sum up: the best and absolutely fantastic for pedicures; pay attention on manicures; very clean, and nice staff!

I think this place changed names maybe owners just used them yesterday and they were great they did my daughters nails and a Mani pedi for me very happy with them.

Went here for a pedicure and got suckered into getting a manicure.
First thing I noticed was that the ladies DO NOT WEAR GLOVES. Gross.
Second, the lady that did my pedicure did a good job. BUT the older lady who did my manicure was HORRIBLE. My cuticles looked like my 5 year old cut them and my nail polish was all over my skin. She definitely did not take the time to make sure the polish was applied in a clean fashion. I thought she was going to come back and clean up her work, but no. I left there with my nails looking like sh*t. Not coming back here again!!!

The search for a nail place close to work continues. Repeat business, ladies, is earned by polish that is not thick, carefully applied and done by someone who cares what the finished product looks like.
The girls are friendly, salon is clean and well ventilated, but at the end of the day, the polish was sloppy and on my cuticles and fingers. Sorry. I wanted to like you.

I go here for everything from their amazingly priced Brazillian to their super relaxing and comfortable mani-​pedis. The ladies are always so funny and happy to see me and the strange friends I bring in. Everyone loves them. I HIGHLY recommend them.

I have been going here for 6 years. Oang and Kim are great! Oang does an amazing job on brazaliian wax jobs. I am over weight and self conscious but she did everything very professional and made me feel very relaxed.
Dont forget about SUE! She is soo cute. this place is just wonderful.

I got a much needed manicure today from One. She was very friendly and did a great job. The salon is very clean, which is nice to see. They must have a strong following as in the 15 minutes I was there they had two clients come in, both they knew by name and what services they wanted. This place is a great value vs. the expense of a Salon like Gene Juarez.

I really love this place. I have gone here multiple times and the ladies are SO friendly. I took my daughter to get a mani/​pedi and they were SO amazing with her! She had a smile on her face and did a wonderful job with her! I always get a good pedi and they remember me by name! Since its local and they are so sweet, they always get my business!

i wouldn’t say this was the BEST place that i’ve ever been to, definitely not something to write home about, that’s for sure. returning is questionable.
the service was so-​so, the place looks pretty clean and decent. love the décor. *two thumbs up* for the microwave sanitizing tool oven. being the anti-​germ freak that i am, i am questioning the pumice stone because i don’t think that it’s new for each customer. kinda gross to think about the possibility of some bunions and fungas being rubbed off from the previous customer. ECK.
my gf asked for an additional service and the owner mentions that she can do whatever she wants, except that there would be an extra change of $ 10.00. i couldn‘t help it but to giggle because it reminded me of that «angelah johnson nail video.» y’all know what i’m talking about. my gf was somewhat offended because she asked, «what? do you want me to pay now?» LOL i find that it’s very tacky and unprofessional when they tell you, «ok, that will be $ 5.00. that’s going to cost you an extra $ 10.00» etc etc. we get it, extra services will cost extra.
i had the french tip done and not wanting to be rude, i don’t like it. because it looks like just a line and not really defined well.
