I visited for the first time today. I was lucky that there was an opening and I'll make appointments for now on. The salon was clean, I like that liners are used in the pedicure bowls and I was treated very well. The pedicure was only $23 including callous treatment. I've tried three other salons nearby - two were dirty and smelled like acetone, the third was clean but they use razors on callouses without asking (dangerous.) They all charged over $35, including surcharges for Opi. I will definitely be a regular at Star Nails. Read Less

Walked in on Saturday early afternoon and was able to have pedicure/manicure done.  They did an excellent job!  Will definitely be going back.

I'm posting this on behalf of my sister.  She says they do a beautiful job, are very nice, and inexpensive.  Best nail salon in Pleasanton!

Showed up around 3:45 on a Sunday afternoon. They were super helpful and I got seated for my pedicure right away. I was getting gel nails on both my mani/pedi - and the range of color choices was awesome. The three people working (one male, two female) were very nice and helpful. They all communicated timing and what was happening next so I wasn't left worrying about who would be doing my mani, and when.They will definitely take care of walk-ins and appointments in a timely fashion. I watched the manager (maybe owner?) juggle people coming in the door, calling on the phone, and then showing up for appointments very seamlessly.You can pay with a credit card (and tip on the card!) if needed, which is always a huge plus for me.Basic services are totally affordable and really nice.My gel nails on both my mani/pedi look amazing. They listened to what I wanted, and made them short enough and shaped perfectly.  They are also VERY skilled at gel manicures- not too thick and really beautiful coloring.I'll be returning for my nail needs in the future. :) Read Less

Came here for the first time to get a pedicure around 6pm on a Friday. Was taken right away, I was the only customer in there. For $23 I got a basic pedi, the lady was friendly, clean place, decent massage and a hot towel. I had no problems with the service I received, and I'm only giving 4 stars because I know there are other places in Pleasanton that give the same service for $20. There's a place I go to in Riverbank when I visit family that includes a hot rock massage for the same price so that's pretty hard to beat. Read Less

2 workers attempted to do 2 pedicures and 1 manicure at once switching from client to client. Don't go here

I have been going to see Ann for almost a year. The service is excellent. She is a very good manicurist. She pays a lot of attention to detail and takes a lot of pride in her work. The prices are also very good - low compared to other salons and the quality of service is much more superior. I would strongly recommend her. Read Less

I wanted a manicure. They took me right away, the prices were low - the people are super-friendly. My nails look great. I will go back for a pedicure this weekend. Excellent!

I went to this nail shop, located next to the 7-11 and the Jack in the box off of Santa Rita Road at Valley. It is now called "Star Nails" and is under new ownership. When I walked in, I immediately felt like walking out. The place was small, dark and messy. I really wish I had followed my intuition and bailed. However, I was in a major need of a fill, and decided to take my chances. I sat down for a pedicure, and noticed that there were tools soaking in water in the sink next to my chair. I hoped that this was not their way to sanitize their work tools, and bravely sat down. The man that worked there was mid twenties and spoke English. He was also sneezing, coughing and snorting his mucus a lot. I asked him if he was sick, and he blamed it on allergies.The girl working on my feet did the same, and even stopped to check her nose in the mirror while working. Right in front of the older spa chair, there was a glass canister that was labeled "trash" overflowing with used cotton balls. I wondered why it had not been emptied before hand? The container was clearly full ... The buffer used on my feet looked like it had seen better days, and the tools being used were old and cheap. I received a super lame pedicure (lasted about ten minutes total). Actually that might have been for the best, as I was worried at this point about the cleanliness in this place. The floor needed to be vacuumed *majorly* and there is not a bathroom in the shop, just this one old sink with the before mentioned tools soaking in it. The fill was ok, but the polish started fading / chipping three days after. Also, since no bathroom exists he wiped my hands down with alcohol instead of having me wash  them in the sink. Read Less
