Whatever you do, do NOT go to this nail salon as it is the absolute worst. First, I went here 2x for convenience since it was a nice walking distance from my new apartment. The 1st time- for mani/pedi, the girl barely cleaned my cuticles. Cut me 2x and pained nail polish (over my cuts). She also didn't even bother to let me wash my hands after filing. Pedicure dried, but as soon as I wore closed toe shoes (next day) the nail polish peeled back. Ok, so I gave it a break. Came in 2 weeks later for another mani/pedi (due to convenient location). Same story. Manicure-girl cut me numerous times with painted nail polish over it. My toes (I spent 1hr drying under the lamp) and 2 DAYS later nail polish peeled back with closed toe shoes. So I returned asking them to fix. This was 6pm on Friday-the door was closed shut asking to knock. The girl came up (through the door said shes busy and told me she can't help me). Google states they close at 8pm!! This is very frustrating considering they charge $45 for mani/pedi (not including tip) and don't even give you a receipt. Oh yeah, and they don't take credit cards. Find your self a better nail salon and don't waste your time and money on these people. They don't deserve it. Read Less

I went to Star Nails to get a manicure with my daughter for my birthday. We were barely greeted and not told how long before we could be helped. We were just told to choose the color. After 25 mins of waiting I told them I was going next door to grab something to eat for my daughter but I didn’t want to lose my spot since we had been waiting for a while. Well I was wrong. We had to wait another 25 to get help. I would have left if it was just me but I didn’t want to disappoint my sweet little girl. Here’s the rest so to summarize everything. My nails were filed at an angle. She was in such rush that she didn’t care to shape them all the same. She left to start someone else but didn’t finish my nails, she came back 10 mins later to do so. Now for my daughter, I could had done a better job. She had long beautiful nails that I didn mind keeping longer but the lady clipped them all off without even asking me. Now she left twice the first time for 10 mins and the second time she left she never came back. Another person took over. She was never asked to wash her hands. In an effort to perhaps make the experience better the second person put polka dots on one of her nails. What?! Would you ask me if I wanted that? Over all if you come here expect the worst manicure you could ever get, not for lack of experience or skills but because of the unnatention to detail and customer service. The money and the time spent here were not worth it. Read Less

Not particularly impressed. The chair was comfy and the polish I chose was very pretty but on one of my toes she did a 3rd later and it made it chunky and she didn't even try to redo it. They also didn't paint a top coat on my toes so that was weird ... Started chipping after a week and normally my pedis don't chip .. For like many weeks.  At least the AC was good so it was very cool in there. I probably will not return. I want my pedi to last longer and it normally does at other places. Read Less

I can't believe I payed money for this. I took my two daughters on Mothers Day. The three nail techs we had were rude and angry looking. They talked to each other the whole time. The woman who did my nails was aggressive and unpleasant. She began to use the Dremmel to sand off the gel polish I already had on my nails instead of soaking it off. I mentioned that it hurt and I've always just had it soaked off with polish remover so she rolled her eyes, haphazardly applied the remover, cotton, and foil. She did not allow it to sit long enough before scraping it off, painfully. she then filed them to an uneaven square shape when I asked for oval. My nails are now thin, cracked, and breaking. My daughters felt uncomfortable. My 7 year old had her nails painted quickly and they looked ok. My 16 year old was getting her nails done for prom. She had a similar experience to mine. Handled harshly and when she asked to have a star painted on her nails she was met with an eye roll and a sigh. The star looked like she could have done it herself. We decided to skip the pedicure.

PLAIN AWFUL. I went for mother's day with my 6 y/o daughter. I only went there bc I got a gift certificate for mother's day which I wanted to use but im NEVER coming back. My daughter and I were getting manicure and pedicure. There was only 1 person doing pedicure and manicure for 3 other people and she asked me and my daughter to sit and wait. We waited for about 30 mins and after 15 mins of waiting 2 more people got there and were seated at the pedicure massaging chairs first which was kind of ok because they had to stay there with their feet in the water for about 40 mins before the only person was able to work on their pedicure. After a while another worker showed up and that's when my daughter and I were seated and they started to do our pedicure. They did my daughter's nails and toes like in 10 mins. She wasnt even taken to the manicure table. It was very uncomfortable for her. The worker that just got there was clearly in a rush. She cut two of my fingers with the cuticle clipper because she didn't have time to soak my nails in water first and was doing it just like that. It was really painful and bloody. Thanks God they didn't cut my little girl's fingers or they would've got in big trouble!!! The 2 workers were running around the salon all the time doing about 9 people's nails and toenails at the same time and talking on the phone. The worker that showed up after was clearly arguing on the phone with her family while CUTTING my fingers and once she was done with my manicure she just left the salon like that. I hated this place. Plus the bathroom is disgusting. I am sticking to my old nail salon and if you don't care getting your fingers cut and bloody and you like poor service then this is the place for you. Read Less
