Nail’s Star

This was the worst manicure of my life. The lady who was doing my nails called over another employee and was clearly speaking about me. They spoke about my eyes and my nose and when I asked them what they were talking about they got quiet. On top of that she did a terrible job applying the nail polish. She didn’t cover the entire nail with polish and you can see where one coat started and the other ended. Sloppy job and they did not want to take their time. It was an affordable manicure but not worth wasting your money on this place.

I haven’t gotten my nails done in years, and was apprehensive about getting a full set due to a previous nightmarish experience. I walked in without an appointment and was greeted by the nail techs, which was nice. They have a nice color selection, with plenty of Essie and OPI polishes to choose from. The wait wasn’t too long, and they had a movie going on the tv. I showed a picture of what I wanted to the nail tech and she assured me it was no problem; She was rather curt and told me to not come back to complain if I ended up not liking them lol. Some of the nails are a tiny bit crooked, the polish is kind of lumpy, and the matte top coat wasn’t brought all the way to the sides. It’s not outstanding, but nothing to throw a fit over. Overall, it’s a decent job and I wouldn’t mind going back again if I was in the area. I would probably specifically ask for the male tech (didn’t catch his name) as he seemed to be the nicest.

Always great service when I come. I have been coming since the new owners took over. Very nice technicians –always willing to take care of you as fast as they can. Love the feet massages that each one does. They take their time to let you enjoy what paid for.

I had a long break today at work so I decided to check this place out. Sophia (I believe is her name) did an AMAZING job! I got a full set of Nexgen.
I have had the point/​oval nails done before and they never turn out well so I was a little nervous. I am glad I trusted her! I left about 12:30pm today and I have already had multiple compliments on them. I will be coming back to see her.
The place is very clean. They have a million colors to choose from and a lot of the bottles looked brand new. They have a big TV set up over by the pedicure chairs that is hooked up to Netflix. They asked us what we wanted to watch and put it on for us. When I left they were super busy so you may need to call ahead to get an appointment.
Over all I am a very happy customer and I would recommend this place to friends and family.

This little place is friendly and sanitary. They have a couple mani pedi options as well as gel and nex gen nails. Nancy was friendly and helpful. I was able to get started immediately which was nice since time is always of the essence. They use the plastic lining in the pedicure chairs, which I tend to like. It just make it feel that much more sanitary. (and who wants to get foot fungus!) Overall, they did a wonderful job on my French shellac and my pedicure was awesome. I wish they did a better job on the hand massage but the foot technique was great. I will definitely be back! This place does punch cards as well.

Absolutely awful experience! Unless you enjoy working with liars and thieves, this place is not for you. I went in for a mani/​pedi. My pedicure started with a woman who did not buff my feet, used lotion with ingredients I am allergic to, could not file my nails straight and was finally assisted by an ‘experienced’ technician. She proceeded to buff my nail however I have small nail beds and she went straight across my feet. I kept telling her it hurt and pulling my feet away but was still left with four bloody toes one of which is so deep she blamed ME for it. I finally said stop, don’t polish, don’t cut/​file anymore, let’s just call this a draw and move on. They told me I didn’t have to pay since I was now bloody injured and the service was not performed/​finished. My mani started fine then quickly went from there to «holy hell just stop». No cuticle care, she started to clip my cuticle but was scared to hurt me again so she ended up going through the motions which included scraping the tool down my nails. She then used scented lotion with glitter and was about to put polish over it. I just wanted a clear coat but not glittered. I stopped her and she suggested a hand wash which I took as quickly as possible. When I returned I said that this clearly isn’t working, my nails are more damaged than when I came in and my feet hurt to much to stick around. I went up to pay for the mani and the more experienced technician came back to check out. I handed her my card and said how much just for the mani? She said I had to pay for the combo. I reminded her that she waived the pedi since I am now bleeding, no polish or finished product was produced in either event and that she told me I wasn’t going to pay for the pedicure. She then told me that I misunderstood her and that she would give me a discount not for free THEN SWIPED MY CARD! I honestly felt robbed, as if she had gone in my purse and just took money out. So now I don’t have a manicure or a pedicure, my nails aren’t straight or polished, my hands have trenches dug in my nails covered in glitter and I have lotion I’m allergic to coving my legs my feet are still bleeding AND SHE LIED AND STOLE FROM ME! I am absolutely livid with this establishment and the people that work there. I cannot encourage you enough to find anywhere else to have your nails done. ANYWHERE ELSE!

Yeah the environment isn’t very relaxing, but I think they do a good job for the price. I’ve tried to find other places in addison that aren’t as pricey, and if they are its mediocre as a regular pedi. This place does a pretty good job and plus they open a little later which is PERFECT. I love their massage chairs x)

I always come here, always feel welcomed! Nathan does an awesome job with acrylics. I just got Nexgen done and I am 100% satisfied! They also do a great job at pedicures for a reasonable price. Overall good experience.

This place was convenient for me when i worked in the area, but after my experience this weekend i will not be returning!!! ROMEO is the only man in the shop he is very rude and disrespectful. I went with a friend to get a set and a color change on my toes in the process of doing my nails Romeo stopped to rub on a ladies feet that came in after me. He then finished my nails and sent me to the station to get my color change on my feet after patiently waiting next to my friend that was getting a pedi by Nancy (she is a sweetheart) I was never serviced. I complained at the check out and he was pretending apologetic like he was unaware but I didn’t understand how people that came in after me were able to get service and I was left unattended for soooo long.

They always do a great job here on my nails! The prices are great! I would call before Just in-​case but This is a great environment and fun place to get your nails done lots of laughs. I’ve been going here for a year and I love it

Terrible service and not good quality rushes every time I go get my nails. The pedicures are average, but the ladies are kind. The man, wjich I presume is the owner is rude and not friendly. I called for an appointment for nail polish change on my feet and nails and he said they don’t make appointments for that, that’s unacceptable as a nail salon a service is a service!

I was in the area for work today and wanted to get my nails done. Based on the Unilocal reviews, I picked Nail’s Star and overall, I am pleased with the result. I walked in w/​out an appt and was able to get seen right away (around 4:30pm). I got the classic pedi + shellac mani ($ 50; great value compared to what I’m used to in Chicago). The staff were all friendly and I was offered a bottle of water when I arrived.
Nancy did both m/​p and was thorough and friendly. I did feel that she was rushing a bit, especially with the mani, but overall my nails look great. This is also the first salon where I’ve seen them use two UV dryers at the same time (so that both of your hands can dry simultaneously). So, it was the quickest shellac mani I’ve ever gotten!
Value: 5 stars
Ambiance: 4 stars
Relaxing/​pampering: 4 stars
Overall: 4.5 stars

This place is awesome! Everyone was super nice and they did an amazing job on my nails! At a great price too!

I stopped in because I was running errands and needed a mani pedi. This is a no frills nail salon, so if you are looking for the spa feel, this is not the place. They are not serving up margaritas or wine in here. The color selection was sparse, and most of the bottles looked old. They had some newer colors, but there was a lack of natural colors like bubble bath or sugar daddy. Actually, now that I think about it, I did not see any OPI or Essie colors. The only brand I recognized was Orly, so I chose a newer bottle of a soft pink color.
The décor is outdated, all of the prep supplies are out in the open, and I could barely feel the massager in the chair. The woman who took care of me was very sweet, and there were a couple of regulars that came in.
This is not going to be my regular spot, but if I am in a jam, have my own polish with me, and just need a quick mani-​pedi, I may go back. Maybe. My search continues.

I should start off my disclosing I am a bit OCD about some things, and yes my mani, if being paid for, is definitely one of them. It was a Tuesday around 10:45 and was the only customer for the entirety of my visit. I waned to try shellac for the first time and unfortunately not too many ladies have Unilocaled about this: (so I gave them a shot. I asked for the French manicure and although the white lining isn’t very straight I’m pretty happy with them. I even got a mini neck/​shoulder massage. I paid $ 35, not sure what the going rate is so we’ll see how I feel in 2 weeks. That’s how long this manicure should hold strong for.
Okay, again other than the white not being very straight, I am pretty happy with the service since i’ve tried out another place that was cheaper but worse in quality.

My beloved nail tech that I had patronized for over three years moved to Garland and broke my heart. So I went on the search for another Salon in my part of the world. This is a change as dreaded as finding a new Doc. :(
1^st try at a new Salon was a disaster. My American polish was chipping within 4 days; unheard of with my dearly departed Lan; her work was so perfect I could go almost 4 weeks without a redo. She always earned a strong 5 stars ! So, mark this spot off my list and off I go to spot #2, Nail’s Star.
Friendly staff and nice surroundings comfy chairs, etc.
I have natural nails and always stick with the American polish. For some reason, perhaps during one of my «blonde» moments, I allowed myself to be talked into the new Shellac finish. Should’a inquired more about what I was getting in to; My VERY BAD :(I was told to return for a fill in 2 – 3 weeks.
While the finish looked beautiful and shiny, I didn’t like the «hard» feel on my nails and the «growing out» process. Learned the hard way that regular polish remover won’t take off the Shellac. Finally soaked my nails in that awful Acetone stuff necessary to remove Acrylics, which is so damaging to natural nails. After two weeks of treating my nails with baby oil, they’re back to a normal sheen.
The nail tech’s work was good, so not downgrading because of that. 3 stars because I just felt really «pressured» into getting this finish. That will never happen again for sure ! I may go back for my usual «regular» manicure and will update accordingly with hopefully at least 4 stars.
