THIS IS WHY THEY ONLY HAVE 3.9 STAR REVIEWS NOT 5...THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS CLIENTS IS ALL WRITTEN HERE BY THE OWNER IN THE REPLYS...THEY LOOK AT ALL NEW CLIENTS LIKE THEY MAY BE POTENTIAL THIEVES....IF THEY TOOK CARD PAYMENT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ....OBVIOUSLY CASH CAN BE HIDDEN FROM HMRC... LOTS OF NAIL SHOPS AROUND GIVE THIS ONE A MISS ....QUITE OBVIOUS THEY DO NOT VALUE THEIR CLIENTS BY THE REVIEW REPLYS WRITTEN HERE BY THE IGNORANT OWNER !!! I would not recommend going here....kept me waiting 30 minutes from my appointment time..No apology made. I have been 5 times and have concluded they are not friendly here. Spent the whole time with very little conversation.....they talk mainly in their own language when they can in fact speak english well enough. Put my hands in bowl for soak off and my hands were burning in the acetone....very rough with nails... wants money before job done even though I'm a regular customer. Overall poor communication no quality . I will be looking for more friendly nail technician..... Any recommendations welcomed Read Less

Really disappointed- came out with worse nails than when i went in and had to pay for the priviledge :-( so upset have been growing my nails for months now and left with literally no length left and a horrendous shape which was not what i asked for. The shellac was put on really sloppy too and looks a mess and my nails were still all jagged when i left. I also really did not enjoy the atmosphere in there- there was no friendliness from staff and it was really unsanitary in their kitchenette where you wash your hands (like really disgusting!). not impressed and really upset they've ruined what were my natural and long nails. gutted :-( Read Less

Hi Laura We are sorry about your experience today but it has all been Terribly misunderstood. Appointments do have priority over walk in's however if we have not finished with the previous client then they can run over. As for the language comment, Hannah asked us if it would be ok for you to pay later, but said it in our language in which we naturally replied back in the same language. It had nothing to do with rudeness or ignorance. It just an automatic reflex replying back to someone in that same language. Previously we have had a customer of 4 years coming to us then one day she decided to have the most exspensive treatment then went without paying. We need to let you know this is not the first regular client that has done this to us. This is why we kindly refused your offer of paying later. We were kind and polite to you about this and you were the same to us as you left. This is the same reason why payment is made first before your treatment to prevent any possible runners, Because it has happened too many times in the past. All other comments are not related to the issue of you paying later so it is irrelevant to comment on that. We would like to apologies for your misunderstanding but we can not take any more risks, whether you are a regular client or not, everyone is to be treated the same. Regards Star nails Read Less

It annoyed me that I can make an appointment, and often have to wait half an hour or more because the greed of the owners dictate that 'walk ins without appointments' take precedence. They obviously can't bear to lose the money. But today, after going here for over 7 years, I had legitimately realised I had forgotten my purse and offered to drop the money off the next morning (I live a 35 minute drive away). The owners began a conversation between themselves in front of me, which started in English and then in to Thai, so I couldn't understand what was being said - how rude and ignorant is that? Then the boy, who was sat in the back cupboard munching food said 'NO'. This place also only takes cash, which is a pain when am spending £70 this month on gel nails and a pedicure - would love to know if they pay all their taxes? Pretty short sighted and arrogant lack of customer care and loyalty. I won't be returning, I'd rather spend my £700 - £800 a year somewhere else. But lovely Hannah, when you leave for a more professional salon, please look me up as a future customer. Read Less

I've been coming to star nails for a LONG time! They're lovely people, great service! For the people who come in and treat them like slaves, not on. They work very hard, take the time. Making sure you're nails looks gorgeous! Personally, I recommend this salon. I've been having my nails done since I was 15, I've been too many of salons. I've been ripped off, over charged, but this salon is fantastic. I only see one person in salon and that's Hannah. One of the best nail techs I've ever met! And funny enough, she talks English, they all do. For the people who lur into the windows and judge, along with nasty comments. As I said, lovely family business! I will always be loyalRead Less
