Star Nails

Went in to get coffin shaped nails and left with short stubby nails. The original tech I had assured me that he was familiar with the shape I wanted and could deliver, but after he began to file my nails narrow beyond recovery, I stopped him. Once I told him that he was not giving me what I asked for or what was in the picture I showed him, he stopped. He stopped, said nothing, and simple pointed to another station where he was apparently directing me to go. Another tech came over to clean up the mess but bc my nails were so terrible, he had to reshape them into something presentable but NOTHING like I wanted. I never got any form of an apology, only $ 2 off. I will never visit this shop again and anyone who asks about it will be told to find somewhere else to patronize.

I wonder if this place has moved since some earlier reviews were written? This place is new, nice, clean and laid out very well. And it’s huge. The staff is nice, friendly and attentive. Possibly one of the best pedicures I’ve had. Seems to be family-​run. New to the area and will definitely be back!

I’m very surprised by these negative reviews! Aside from the extremely long wait I had, the service and treatment were fantastic! I requested a shellac manicure & pedicure for my best friend’s wedding this weekend. They did an amazing job — no fungus reactions or post infections as other reviewers mentioned. I even waited a few days before writing this review just to ensure I didn’t jinxs myself. Haha. Overall great place, excellent work and definitely recommend!

It seems that the review I wrote was rather premature. I ended up with an infected fingernail that hurt for a week! I’ve never ever ever had this happen to me at a nail salon so I am very disappointed that I ended up with a swollen finger.

Got a gel manicure and my Polish chipped on two nails (noticeably) 4 hours later. Went back the next day to get them fixed and they chipped again along with 3 others a few hours later. 1 week into my manicure and 7 out of 10 nails are chipped
and/​or broken. Why pay for a gel manicure when this is going to happen. This never happens when I go other places. Such a waste of money and I will NEVER be going back. I do not recommend Star Nails

Update: I gave this place a second chance. I just went and got a normal pedicure and came back with an infected toe nail and chipping paint after two days! Disgusting& very painful! DO. NOT. GO. HERE.

Worst mani/​pedi ever. I was escorted to the pedicure station pretty quickly, but left to wait in cold water for about 10 minutes. When my lady finally showed up, she kept stopping my pedicure to talk to the other workers. I’m all for workplace communication, but scrub and chat at the same time please. I was thisclose to telling to her to kindly stop gabbing and finish my &*#$% pedicure!
After that you wouldn’t think I’d stick around for the manicure, but 30 minutes later there I was soaking my fingers to prunes while she cleaned up the pedicure station. I took my hands out of the soak because they were shriveled and red, but the lady stuck them back in. At least this water was relatively warm. She proceeded to cut my cuticles til they literally bled and then started picking at other skin. The area under my nails is still raw and scabbed.
The whole experience cost me 1.5 hours and $ 50. Never ever again.

would love to give this place 4 or 5 stars because they do good work and the prices are reasonable, but I just can’t. in my last 5 visits I’ve had to wait over an hour for my pedicure. every time someone or I ask how long the wait is, the owner alway replies with 20 minutes. most of the technicians are pretty good. every once in a while I get one that is horrible. if u have 13 pedicure stations and 10 manicure stations, you should have the staff there to accommodate that, especially on the weekends! the only reason I keep going is that it’s right around the block from my house and trying to find another good nail salon is a pain in the butt.

I ordered the most expensive pedicure and was very disappointed. I have been going here for years and the service has slowly been going down. My service provider stopped in The middle to go paint another customers custom nail… My water was cold it was not refreshed with warm or hot, she did not use all the products pulled and finished the same time with me as the person doing my friend that I went with. Total rip off they used old files. The whole experience was not good. I will not go back, yuck.

Prices have gone up. $ 12 mani $ 23 no chip
Quality has gone down despite prices going up. My no chip barely lasts a week. Not really worth the money anymore. :(

Love this place! Picked it based off Unilocal reviews and they have never been a disappointment. My last visit in I walked in 10min before they closed (unknown to me because it says they close at 9pm online, which is a lie its 8) and they let me get my pedicure and it was probably one of the best pedis of my life. I highly recommend the $ 35 one, you get so much and glass (s) of wine too! I’ll be back for sure!

Went the weekend prior for a pedicure which was nice. I did find access polish on the skin around the toes but figured o well no one will see it. Went back for a fill with gel polish Waited 40minutes and showed the nail tech a photo of what I wanted, nude with gold French tip. Walked out with clear and sparkly orange tip. The tip was uneven and you could see all the previous fills on the nails because he just used clear. I had to drive down the street and have the gel taken off and redone. I won’t be going back.

When I walked in there were two workers at the counter. Both of them ignored me and walked away without so much as a hello. I waited for fifteen minutes and in that time no other customers ahead of me were helped. While I was waiting I began to look around and the salon was disgusting; the floors hadn’t been swept, stations that were not in use were a mess, and the waxing station was disgusting.

Worst nail place I have ever been to. The staff is incompetent and acts like they want to turn away business. The place is dirty and they clearly don’t follow proper sanitation practices with the tools. Never go here!

Tried this salon for the first time on Wednesday. Got a gel mani/​pedi. It was evening and not busy. The staff is friendly but kind of pushy. The chairs are old. Was disappointed the water was cool on my feet and that they didn’t offer a leg/​foot scrub. The prices are ok, but it was $ 50 for the gel mani/​pedi. The mani/​pedi was done well. Their basic services are very cheap. I go to a salon to be pampered and like warm water on my feet, so I will probably not return.

My friend and I went for some manicures. My lady was very nice and I could understand her very well. For a basic manicure it was only $ 10. Everything was nice up until the very end. She did not take off the excess nail polish on my skin, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. Felt very clean, and I will probably try it again.

Went for a mani-​pedi. Very clean establishment and did a wonderful job! High quality mani-​pedi for $ 30! I’ll be back next time I need to treat my self

I’ve frequented this business for years. It’s consistently clean, well-​maintained, and the owners are always present. They have great hours too; and seem to be perpetually open. Services are typical of most nail salons: manis, pedis, and waxing. All very moderately priced for us misers. You can request a certain technician when signing in or call ahead for an appt. Lord D goes with me on occasion and has a glass of wine (or two).

I popped in for the first time yesterday for a gel manicure and pedicure. My first impression was that this place seems very clean. I work at a salon (as a hairstylist) so when I go to shops like this I’m always hyper-​aware of state board sanitation guide lines. The dry sanitization cabinets are in plain view of the pedi area and I was comforted being able to watch my tech remove her implements from it and walk them directly to me. The floors and pedi tub looks clean and there was no strong nail-​stuff odors. I bumped a star off because a drill tool was used to buff the top of my toenails during the pedicure. Those drill bits are hard to sanitize without an autoclave and should generally only be used on top of an artificial nail.
There were a couple extra things that added to my experience that not all of your quicky nail shops offer. I was given a bottle of water after I was seated for my pedicure, fresh sliced lemons were used throughout the service, and got towels were used to removed product from my feel, always a nice touch. This place is every bit the same price as a regular nail shop (manis start at $ 15 and pedis at $ 20, though my gel mani and «special» pedi were $ 20 and $ 25, respectively) but those little touches and the cleanly atmosphere definitely add value.
Long story short, this place is clean, friendly, they have small value-​adding details and are very affordable. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a quick nail shop in south city and I personally will be back.

I come into town to visit family often, and my mom told me that the small nail place from across the street had moved into the old 7 – 11 building, so I suggested we go in and get manicures.
I got a gel mani and pedi and my mom got a gel mani. Our manicures are great! Clean, shiny, neat, cuticles look great. Mine pealed only on my left thumbs after blowdrying my hair three times, which doesn’t shock me. The rest have stayed put. It’s been two weeks and they are just now showing a bit of pealing.
This is probably the best pedi I’ve ever gotten. The polish has stayed put for 2 weeks despite the fact that I am constantly changing from tennis shoes to high heals, the stripper boots (yeah I wear them, so?) to barefoot. I even have cute little flowers on my big toe nails.
Great services, extremely good prices, very friendly, clean, knowledgeable staff. I’m definitely coming back!

They always do a great job. My toes need a lot of work sometimes. Have never gotten a bad pedicure.
Great job. Good prices.
