Diana C.

Great service! I got lucky and came as a walk in, luck was on my side since someone cancelled I got in. Krystal took care of me and she made me feel at home. Her vibe was awesome and I will gladly come back to this local nail shop. I highly recommend you make an appointment since they are always booked ahead of schedule!

Crystal was very nice and friendly and did a great job at giving me a milky white on my toes. She was also nice to fix my paint job that I already had on my fingernails for free. I will definitely be going back because of her service and passion for her job. Thank you Crystal.

Love this place, best nail techs I've experienced since doing my nails for over 30 years! Krystal does amazing pedicures and nails as well as Victoria, she's an amazing artist with her nails designs, I give them a 10 out 10!

Tried out this place for the first time, amazing service so accommodating ! The price range is also not bad for a gel pedicure , very clean and attentive to their guest! Just call and ask and they answer or book you an appointment!

This salon stands out for its exceptional customer service, high-quality products, and skilled nail technicians who consistently deliver stunning results. Krystal and Victoria are amazing! The salon maintains a clean and modern atmosphere, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic experience for every client. They are VERY affordable! 10/10 service & definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for any trendy nails, a classic manicure or a relaxing pedicure! They also do lashes and waxing services.

Victoria did great and she was so fun to chat with during my manicure. My nails have gotten so many compliments.

This was my second time coming to this place - the main reason why I came back is because the first time I came they were really gentle when they worked in mani and pedi ( also the gel type lasted me for about 6 weeks which I thought it is something good ) . Another reason is because if you don't have an appointment- the lady nicely will try to fit you in for you to be seen . But she still recommends that is better to schedule an appointment ahead of time . All of them are very nice... I admire the patience that they have to work on you ;) excellent job - PROPS TO ALL :) vibeS?? THEY ARE THE VIBES . I will visit you more often *.*

Been coming here for the past year and they always have amazing customer service. Everyone is very friendly, polite, and the quality of work is great. I have a lovely time everytime I get my nails done here. 10/10

Called this location 10 mins prior to me coming in because I was in the area and was in dire need of a manicure and pedicure. I got my manicure done by Amy and pedicure by Lynn they were efficient and definitely made me comfortable. This location is such a gem, usually I am skeptical of locations but had a great feeling about this one thanks to the reviews. Tons of colors to choose from, the removal of my gel was quick as well. Surprisingly I was the only one being serviced which made it even better, if you are in a hurry and don't want your nails to look like it please give them a try. read more

While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, last minute cancellations like this are highly inconvenient and disruptive. What makes this situation frustrating is the strict enforcement of the company's cancellation policy, which charges customers a 50% fee when canceling less than 24hrs in advance. It is only fair that the same level of accountability be upheld on both sides. Customers are expected to respect the policy, and in return, the business should demonstrate the same consideration and reliability. Not be compensated with a $5 discount. When if I had canceled the appointment would have been charged $30. Experiencing this issue more than once concerns me about their consistency and professionalism. I hope improvements are made to better manage scheduling or compensation.

More often than not I come to this location because the prices are good compared to other…read morelocations.. today's experience wasn't great! The front desk lady with long hair, still wearing Halloween nails doesn't seem like she wants to be working, very monotone when greeting... it doesn't feel welcoming when you enter the establishment should check her attitude, but maybe she had a long day-- waiting longer than your appointment time and seeing other people that just walked In go ahead of you can make the day longer. You make an appointment and you still wait over 15 minutes for your wax service even if you check in early or on time isn't great. European Wax Center has a Late Policy Form Stating if you're 9 minutes late you will be marked as a no show, what happens when they don't respect your appointment time ? So if you have time to waste or if you want to sit around smelling wax then book here.

I've been going to Kiki's for a long time, now...maybe two years. Let me just say, all wax is not…read morethe same. I've gone to various places for a wax and hers is much softer and moisturizing, but definitely gets the job done. I only go for bikini wax, but I know she also does the rest of the body. Kiki is also an extraction specialist and educates you on your skincare at home. One of my favorite things about her is the sanitation. She ensures the table is clean after client and rolls out new paper for each use. I also appreciate that she doesn't double dip the stick in the wax. She uses a new stick for each application. I've seen that far too many times with others, so I greatly appreciate her attention to those details. I love her suite. She has it decorated nicely, has calming music playing and she's an overall amazing person to talk to! It's easy to schedule your appointments with her and you also receive text and email reminders that it's coming up.

Amazing service !! Loving going here for the talks and waxes! You will not be disappointed!read more

If I could give 0 stars I most definitely would. They are homophobic, and discriminating. It was my cousins first time coming here. We read reviews and seen mainly good ones so we decided to head down for a full set and pedicures. they would not do my cousins nails do to the fact he was a Man, and decided to start talking about him and laughing at him while he waited for his mother to finish her pedicure. Never again will we be coming here. Do not go here is you are against homophobia. read more

After going to a nail salon where they turned me down as they said I was too picky, I decided to go to the nail shop around the corner from my house. I wasn't expecting much from this place as it was smaller than what I'm used to. Boy was I pleasantly surprised with the outcome! I got my acrylics done by Kathy. She was gentle and did as I requested and kept the acrylics thin so that they look more natural. Def coming back! read more

This nail spa is awesome. The customer service is very good. I have been going to many nail shops in Downey, but no place is like this Gold Star Nails. It is clean and good customer service. I am always wearing gel nails, so when I looked at the price list of nail shop and then I got the ideas how much they will charge immediately. If you want the quality nails services. THIS IS THE PLACE read more

I give 5 stars because I love the services provided here. Last Saturday, I came here for my eyelashes extension and gel manicure completed by Krystal and gel pedicure by Jenny.
