Friendly staff, not enough color variety. Could be cleaner/more organized inside. Also staff should work more on regular polish color application, shellac/gel polish application was great! Very personable staff, greatly appreciated.Read Less

I had gotten new acrylics at another salon and they were awful, super thick acrylic, the tips weren't completely attached to my actual nail and within the 2 days I had them they started lifting farther. I came in today hoping for something better and Mary was amazing! She helped me get them off gently and redid my full set so much thinner and with so much more attention. I ended up getting colored acrylic tips and they look so amazing. I'm going back as soon as I need my fill! Thank you Mary! Read Less

Great décor, updated. Very friendly staff. I went there for 15 years until I moved to Texas and I haven't found another nail salon as good or that speak English in front of the customers out of respect. We had a death in the family and they stayed opened until midnight to do all of our nails before we left for the funeral, that was in 2000, it's almost 2015 and we have never forgot that gesture and they also refused our tips and told us to use the money for our trip.

Went to this for a full set, acrylic, before I went on vacation. The people were nice. But the place very cluttered giving off dirty feel. And I was noticing lifting after a 4 days and worse of all I get them quite short so it's not like they were too long and I overstressed it somehow. By far the worse acrylic set I have ever had.

I have had my fill done here quite a few times, and it always looks perfect. My only issue is that it never seems to last before its chipping and fading away, as compared to when I have them done my usual salon. Read Less

I have been to 4 salons so far in the area - trying to find a GOOD regular spot - and i think this may be it. My fiance made me an appointment. A young woman by the name of Monty was able to help me. She did an amazing job. My nails are the right shape, she knew what the word SHORT means. She was gentle, but fantastic. She is fluent in English, there were no language barriers or concerns. The prices were decent. It was 17$ for a fill. They even have airbrush here... no one does that anymore. The decor needs some work, but didnt bother me any. I am so happy that i found a great place. FINALLY!!!! THANK YOU MONTY!!!! you will be seeing me a lot.Read Less

I came to this nail salon with my sister on vacation and we did not have a good experience. I wanted to another gel polish change as the gel already on my nails were peeling and it was about time to have them off. My sister also wanted gel as well. Since I already had gel on my nails, the lady soaked them in acetone cotton ball wrapped with foil yadda yadda then moved on to work on my sisters fresh nails. I knew she wouldn't be able to work on me right away and that's fine, but she had me sitting with the foil for 35 minutes! At least take them off of me. That was my first problem. When she did finally start to work on me, which was after she finished the entire gel process on my sister (there were only 2 ladies working. The other young girl was attending another client) she was standing up the whole time. Like lady, I would feel a whole lot better if I knew you could see my nails. I wanted a French tip shellac and when she was doing the white tips, she kept missing the ends. I had to inspect each nail and make sure the curve was perfect before putting my hand to cure or else I would have been more annoyed than I already was. Then when she did the other side, she didn't use the other hand as a guideline. My third problem I had is that..you know when they accidentally get polish on your cuticle they wipe it off with their nail? Well her nail was touching the side of my nail in the process, and not my cuticle. So I have a line down the sides of my nail from her imprint. From far away they look fine but from close up you can clearly see lines. It was much worse for my sister because she chose a burgundy color and the lady took off a line of the polish. If you have to come here, I would suggest the younger girl who works here. Or try another place entirely since the place was dirty when we came. I've seen cleaner establishments. Read Less

My friend told me about this place and after reading all the rave Yelp reviews, I decided to check it out. The location is a little hard to see right off the street and the parking is limited, but I came on a weekend afternoon and was able to get a spot with minimal fuss. I also called ahead to make an appointment and arrived right on time. I had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to begin working with me, but in comparison to most other nail places this definitely was not a bad wait time. SO, I really wanted to love this place because it's close to home and the staff is just incredibly warm and friendly, but I am really unsatisfied with my shellac manicure. The lady started and about halfway thru applying the color, she decided that it wasn't coming out right and took it all off and then reapplied everything. I've had shellacs done before so I know what to expect, so I'm thinking my nails may not have been cured correctly because they are not very shiny and are rather dull looking. I got this manicure done last Saturday and not even five days later, nearly all of nails have started to chip, with the polish on two of the fingers almost completely gone.Le sigh.I may come back in the future to try them out for another service because I really did like the people working there, but wasting $25 on a manicure is something I don't think I'll be taking my chances with again at this location.

My daughter and I went in for pedicures. The ladies were very nice and were able to get us in right away. The foot rub/scrub was heavenly. My only complaint is that there is a bit of a language barrier and that is a bit difficult. Read Less

I like this place. Full set was $25. The lady that did mine was quite delightful to visit with. I'll come back, but I'll let her know to be a little more gentle next time since I have thin nail beds and over filing makes red rings in the nail bed.**Update**  12/12/11: I've been going to Star Nails for 3 months now. I love the great service that I get from V and I love being able to walk in on a Monday and get in right away. She is gentler with the filing and does a beautiful job. I would recommend anybody for a new salon to check them out. Fill with polish is $15, Fill with French tips are $20. They are open 10-7, closed on Sundays I think. Read Less

I would go again! For $16 I got a polish change (fingers) and brow wax. The polish was replacing a poor job I got last weekend. I've had it on for an hour and can't stop staring. The polish reaches both sides of my nail (which it should always do) and is super cute. After painting one finger the gal checked with me to make sure I liked the color and after she was done she offered me sparkles of the same color before putting the top coat on. She wasn't overly chatty, made me feel comfortable and didn't scold me when I accidentally bumped my wet nail against the fan causing a smudge. Read Less

Monty is my girl! I have been coming to Star Nails for over a year and it is the only place I go now. Monty is one of the very few people on this planet I fully trust with my nails. She is a delight to talk to and I look forward to coming here to get my fills. I suggest her to everyone I know constantly because she keeps my nails looking so beautiful, and people typically compliment them and ask where I go! I've tried over ten places in Seattle over the past 5 years and Star Nails has been my top choice out of everywhere. Read Less

I really love Star Nails! I've been a convert ever since I first wandered in to have my eyebrows done. I've been back multiple times to get my eyebrows done and I've never been dissatisfied. The women who work there are courteous, prompt and do the greatest job! The waxing is nearest to "painless" that I've ever experienced. It's clean, always full of happily chatting customers and it's a great location for where I live. My only complaint, the parking is MINIMAL!! So be warned. Read Less

Went here only once but you better believe I will be coming back again. Went in at the last minute to get my eyebrows done and I usually go to this other lady named Gina down the street but they were completely closed. This place here still had folks in it. I caught Dee (the eyebrow lady) on her way out and she agreed to do my brows real quick. 7 minutes later their done and man... She does a better job then Gina. It costs $2 more but I gave her that plus a $10 for doing a great job on the run. Not sure about the rest of the salon but from the expression on the faces of the women getting there nails done I would say they sure seemed happy with the service. One lady was talking to the woman who was doing her nails and what do ya know... She spoke english. Good english too. Not a bad place to check out. Read Less
