I was looking for a new nail salon and I think I found a little hidden gem! The interior is very cute and cozy, and everything is so clean and well organized! Irene was the nail tech did my pedicure for me and she was so gentle and careful. I appreciate that she took her time and didn't make me feel they were rushing to get me in and out. I wasn't sure how flexible their schedule was, so I called before coming in to see if they were ok with walk-ins, and they were able to take me in within the hour! I do recommend calling and checking with them for walk-ins though just in case if they're busy. That way they can focus on giving you the best experience without feeling rushed! read more

I had a 5/5 experience at this nail salon! Ling did my nails and she was amazing, she really took her time and made sure everything was perfect. She also made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole appointment, which I really appreciated. I absolutely love how my nails came out! This was my third time coming here, and every visit has been consistently great. I'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I was looking for a new nail salon/tech that could mimic a nail design I found on xiaohongshu (aka Rednote in the US) and stumbled across this business here on Yelp. My nails were done by Ling (the owner) and her attention to detail is amazing! She accurately executed the design from the photo I sent her. She also brought to my attention the alignment and direction of 2 of my nails (which no other nail salon/tech has ever done before) and made sure my gel extensions were uniform. This is the first nail salon that I genuinely feel like making my go-to because of the designs offered, the execution of desired designs, and customer service. Overall loved my experience at C Star Nails and highly recommend getting your nails done here! read more

Ling was my technician, and she was great! My experience at the salon was amazing. Ling was super attentive, constantly asking if I liked my nails, if I was in pain, etc. She followed my inspo pics perfectly. The salon was also super clean and had an aesthetic and calm vibe, which was really nice. Ling even gave me a little parting gift, which was super sweet :) I'll definitely have to come back. read more

Came to C star Nails after having a terrible experience with another nail salon. Irene was so sweet, talented, precise and did the perfect French nails for me. She was very meticulous and took her time to make sure she gave me exactly what I wanted. Really love the way my nails turned out and loved the space. It's so cute and welcoming. They've gained a repeat customer forever . Ask for Irene, she's great! read more

Ling did a great job on my gel mani pedi, she was meticulous and did everything perfectly. She was also gentle with my ingrown toenails. It did take me about 2.5hours to be done even though I only had a solid color type of work done. They are on the pricey side but very much worth it. The place was clean, every detail seemed to be carefully thought well of and her tools are disinfected after every use. She even provides snacks and bottled water. I highly recommend coming here and appointments are a must! read more

I got a deluxe gel pedicure ($70) & really enjoyed my experience! I have pretty small toe nails so thin frenchies can be tricky sometimes but my nail artist was careful to ask me if I was satisfied along the way which I really appreciated. She also explained every step that she took which is always nice. The owner (i assume) Ling was also very sweet! The little treats and water offered to customers were very thoughtful too :) Will definitely be returning! read more

I had a pleasant experience. Nikki was my nail tech. She was very efficient and gentle. She kept asking if I was okay when she was filing and buffing my nails to make sure I'm not hurt or cut. That's very considerate because I have been to other nail salons and they would buff so fast they cut me- then I feel the burn for a couple of days. That's annoying that's why I never go back. Also Im prone to get eczema flare up after exposure to UV light so I asked for gloves- she kindly cut the fingertips of the gloves. A huge plus for doing this for me. This place just opened a month ago. The ladies working are all helpful. I was greeted with a bottle of water & some snacks. The salon is very clean with comfortable chairs & a cute plushie as a back pillow. This is important if I'm sitting for 1-2 hrs to get my nails done. I felt comfortable. My total was $81 & I spent 2 hrs here. The vibe is cute. Plenty of parking. Def would come back or better yet become my usual spot. read more

I can't speak about the service as I was rudely turned away from this place. It was empty at 4:30 pm on a Saturday advertising walk-ins welcome on the door. They probably should change the sign if they only want appointments only. read more

This was my first time here, and I had a wonderful experience! Ling is absolutely perfect -- kind, patient, and attentive. She really listens to your requests and offers helpful suggestions. The final result came out exactly as I wanted. I sometimes do my own nails (I did a crappy job), so I asked a few technique questions, and she shared tips that were super helpful. The salon is clean, cozy, and very comfortable. Highly recommended -- even if you prefer short nails and cute designs, which not many nail salons can do a good job as they do here. read more

I came here with my friend to get nails and we both had an amazing nail session done. I found and gave this place a shot even though they had fewer reviews than other businesses. I was super price dependant, much like EVERYONE ELSE lol. Eff your Chanel, I'm here representing my broke girlies. Super responsive through text. Pricing upfront and fairest in the area. I went with the most affordable salon and honestly, I was expecting whatevs nails for the price. Because beggars can't be choosers. BUT NOT THIS BEGGAR. The nails...are shockingly divine quality. The quality to price ratio is practically Asia. I legit want to gatekeep this salon so badly. Super cute service (drinks, snacks, and little thank you gifts). Quick service, but they take their time on the art. Her original designs are better than the pictures I came in with which I low-key regret and it was too late to switch without taking more time. I encourage omakase nails here. The shape, color, design, fine detail line work, everything omfg. I've had AMAZING nails in the past, but NOT FOR THIS PRICE! Ask them first about your design and pricing and chances are...it's going to be one of the more competitive pricing. I found this place because I was initially looking for the cheapest salon cuz I was paying for me and my friends nails as her birthday gift and I chose this place. I did not expect the quality of nails would be THIS AMAZING. Also, they include take offs...THEY INCLUDE TAKE OFFS! Hello?? Other places charge $2-5 a nail for take offs. Sis, this is the spot to get perfect nails. I'm so glad I took a chance on this place and did the crazy research beforehand, so I deserve this win to have a sole nail salon for me and my girls. If you disagree, good! Cuz I don't need to be competing with other ppl for appointments lollll Tldr: design 10, service 10, longevity 10, pricing 12 bish.. 12/10. read more
