The best thing about this place is Mary and the rest of the staff. Very friendly and funny, it makes for a more personable experience. I'm not sure what I ever did to get on Mary's bad side, but at least she likes my daughter so she will let me get my nails done there. My only issue with this place is it is always busy and since I am one who typically decides at the last minute I want to get my nails done, I'm not inclined to wait. It's always a treat when the stars align, I feel like getting a mani or pedi and they aren't too busy to seat me right away. They do a great job, they aren't pushy about the up sell and they are clean and hygienic. read more

I told my fiancé that I wanted to get my nails done and just didn't have a person anymore randomly and that next weekend he called Mary and made an appointment. I am so glad he did. The salon was very clean and the guests were obviously long time customers which made me feel great about his choice. My manicure and pedi still look great after 2 weeks. i immediately made a return appointment because of the quality and affordability of their work! read more

I will NEVER set foot in here again I have been going here for about 2-3 months now and everyone I've had does a terrible job except for the owner, Mary, who does a great job but everyone who goes there regularly is her client and she doesn't have time for anyone else. I somehow always get stuck with the guy with the panther tattoo, and he has yet to do a good job on my nails. My toenails chip and break 1-2 days after I get them done, my acrylics are never presentable. But this time it was hands down the worst manicure I have ever had. I picked my color and it was supposed to be a very very light blue/grey color and the color he brought out was a dark periwinkle blue. I told him that was the wrong color and he said that the color he brought had the same number, and that the samples they have you look through are really old so the colors fade. Then I asked him if they had any that actually looked like the color I showed him (since they tend to know all the colors they have pretty well) and he very rudely told me 'what you see is what we have, we don't have anything else it's what you see' so then I over to pick another color and they were out of it, and the third color was a very similar light blue/grey color like the 1st one. The color he brought me was what is shown in the pictures. If there is that much difference in your samples because they 'fade' then change your damn samples! It's not that hard to replace the old ones every once in a while. When he did my nails he went wayyyy too far with the dremal tool and my nails felt like they were on fire. And the acrylic he put on top felt like I was sticking my hand in acid. He was too busy watching a football game to pay attention to the job he was doing and my nails are all different lengths and shapes and the shellac is so thick and old it's ridiculous. I cant do anything with how thick these nails are. During the game I guess something happened he didn't like and he started cursing and dropping f-bombs and every other name in the book to the tv. Since when is it acceptable to do that in front of your CUSTOMERS?? And finally when I was paying I handed tried handing him his tip (which he definitely didn't deserve) and he just stood there and ignored my outstretched hand throughout the whole time he was running my card and I was signing, and he only took it when I gave him the receipt back after I signed it. What kind of person treats their customers like that? read more

The woman was rude on the phone when I called to see if they had any appointments open. Little did she know, I spends a ton of money on gift cards for family and friends! Your loss! I will never go there nor will I recommend anyone to go!! read more

They do a really good shape here, but I've heard others with the same complaints that the colors they present aren't really true to the color they are. Going here I picked out a grey/ army green color, which was actually a blue when put on my nails. They told me it's because the samples are old, but why not renew them so we can actually pick out a color? I would've been happy with the service & place if they offered a color similar to the sample, but the nail tech became frustrated because I complained that the color was different, and then proceeded to have me pick out a completely new color! It was similar to the sample, but again, not the same. Update your samples!! read more

From reading the poor reviews on the new Luv Salons, my sister and I decided to try this place. We are happy with the service. They were very kind to us. They are moving down the street in a few months, so the decor is not that desirable at the current location.... the new place will be updated with new equipment is what we were told. read more

I came here after reading positive reviews from Yelp and I was very satisfied with what I got! The employees were very friendly and the lady who did my nails worked very quickly and efficiently, we were done in about 35 minutes. I got a gel French manicure on all my fingers for $30 and was told that if I come back in two weeks to have my nails touched up that will be $20. I like my nails, they look nice and smooth and the length is perfect. She didn't go overboard with the thickness of the gel so they look natural. A positive experience! Don't forget to take a second to check out the beautiful fish tank in the back! read more

Nice staff, I walked in and only waited about 10 mins and seen someone. First guy I had was good(blue nails), second time I told the other guy (Pink nails) what I wanted exactly and he did them perfect. I am super ocd and he respected that and asked on every nail if it looked good which I appreciated a lot. I will be going back to him. I can't remember his name I wish I could. read more

Solid place for pedicures. The man who did mine did a great job. Prices super reasonable. 25 for a pedicure. Worth checking out.

Mary is amazing. She always does a great job with my nails and her personality sparkles! Book her and thank me later.

Kevin did my gel manicure over 2 weeks ago, and my nails still look as good as the day he did them. Amazing attention to detail! He's my new guy!!! read more

I have always received an awesome pedicure and acrylic nail set or fill. Mary is super friendly, highly intelligent and very talented. Her husband, Henry, is also very good with acrylics and pedis... Perhaps even a perfectionist ! There are two other employees that work there and they are great too. Never a complaint. I have three family members who use this facility and everyone is always happy with the results. They accommodate quickly. read more

I flew in from LA and needed a good manicure. I found this salon through Yelp, and could not have been more pleased. The guy who did my nails was attentive and careful about disguising a repair so that my nails were evenly matched. The owner is a true character, but you can tell that she is well-liked by her clients and employees. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely return here. read more

This place is amazing!!! These are new owners!!!! They are not the people that started the old gold star nail by hungry howies/little Caesars. These people are amazing! They shaped and sanded my nails, and don't price it as a manicure... Just a polish change! Yeah for saving money (: only if you want to soak and take off cuticles, Is it considered a manicure. My nails are absolutely perfect! 100% better than any nail place in downtown farmington! Mary is wonderful, and it is a family owned business. They speak great English! I would call ahead to make an appointment. read more

I've been going here for 4 years. I have a standing appt. every 2 weeks with Mary. She always does an awesome job and now we even know practically what color to use every time we've become so in tuned. She is very accommodating when I have to change my schedule and her whole family is beautiful. I get gel/shallac nails, eyebrows and a toe polish change and occasionally a pedicure. Always satisfied. Call and book because they are so good they stay busy. read more

This place is always very clean, and very efficient. I'm never waiting for an extended period of time. Furthermore, all the workers are very friendly and Mary will recognize you after only one or two visits. This place is amazing and a great price!! read more

The gentleman that took me in was touching his bare feet a minute before I walked in, didn't see him wash hands. Don't think he's ever done nails either. It's been 3 hrs and what ever top coat he applied is still wet. read more

The polish selection was just ok but the mani pedi turned out great and the staff was very nice. Not sure why the reviews are so bad...

I have gone here quite a few times. Better quality work than most in the area (Bar isn't set high though). And have been satisfied, not overly thrilled, with my nails. I am a licensed nail tech myself. When I go in my nails are totally prepared for the service: nail polish off cuticles pushed back etc.. less work for them. I got a full set put on. And when asked how long I wanted them , I showed him. It was slightly longer than a normal nail. The only reason I do this is because every time I leave and get in my car I noticed that they are all un even. So I have to file them straight and I lose the length. I also never ever require nail polish at the end of the service. Again because I have to file them due to uneven. I was charged an extra three dollars saying my nails were "long". I find this absolutely absurd. They were not long they were slightly longer than the average length. And I don't know what measurement is being used to determine what is long and what is not. I guarantee no extra product was used to complete my nails. And as I said I never get nail polish.... so wouldn't that balance out? Even Steven. I just find it to be a very tacky way to try to gain more money. I could've been tactless and said that I want them longer because I have to file all the uneven nails and lose length. But I didn't. And they do not tell you this when they are asking you the link and cutting it. That is deceitful. You are obligated to tell people upfront of extra charges. And they then have the option to go ahead with it or not. You don't spring it on them at the end when nothing can be done. Anyway, even though it is three blocks from my house I probably will not go back. And all over three dollars! read more

Our normal salon was booked so my daughter went here to get her nails done. She really liked the friendly lady that did her nails. Last week I went to get my nails done and tried Gold Star. I got Shellac. They didn't didn't know the names of the common OPI colors as all other salons do, so I had to pick from a mess of colors with just numbers. To my surprise after exactly one week my nails started chipping so I went back into the salon. I had to show them my receipt twice and they asked me to literally point out the person who did my nails the week before. As if this wasn't awkward enough, that guy was busy so another guy had to fix my nails. He (stocky guy with tattoos) showed his great frustration in having to fix someone else's mistake. He then showed more frustration at me that I didn't know the number of the nail color and he had to wait while I searched their bins for it. I thought he was just going to touch up the parts that were chipped. He almost yelled at me that it was not an option (other salons have done a touch up on the tips) and he had to take it all off and start over. I never told him how much time I had but he assumed that I was in a huge hurry. I was afraid to have him do it and my hesitation in responding led him to believe I was in a hurry. How do you tell somoene you don't want them working on your nails while angry? He got out cotton and soaked them in remover. I asked what he was going to do and he said that if I didn't have time to get them redone, then he would have to take it off. I told him that I didn't understand why he was so angry with me when I was the one that paid $30 and had to come back a week later because they were chipping. Without waiting for me to select an option, he picked up a Dremel tool and started taking the polish off with that. I asked him what he was doing and he said taking it off, I asked why not use the remover and he said that I was in a hurry. I never told him I was in a hurry. He assumed. I said that he seemed angry and asked that he could give me a discount on coming back (because at this point I was very uncomfortable with him working on me). He didn't listen and used the tool on my nails down to damaging them. Now my nails are rough, I have no refund and I was yelled at. It is really upsetting that this man was having a bad day and I had to take the hit for his frustration. I called back to find out his name and the lady who is normally nice started being rude and blaming it on me that I was in a hurry. I told her I am sitting at home on my couch writing a review, I am NOT in a hurry. If she could feel what my nails feel like right now she would not say that. The surface is now damaged and feels like a layer missing on one of the nails. I didn't want shellac put back on the rough, exposed nail surface. Seems that customer satisfaction and healthy practices are not important. Perhaps they could brush up on communication skills so this doesn't happen to someone else. read more

This place is a joke! I had tried calling to schedule an appointment and there was never an answer. When I went in the rude woman that "schedules" the appointments told me she refuses to answer the phone because customers call and want to be seen right away. So she only takes appointments that are scheduled in advance after the customers have had their nails done. The place is dirty too! I definitely wouldn't recommend this business. There is a nice clean one down the street at Grandriver and Drake I would go to. They have disposable plastic wrap for their pedicure bowls too. read more

Best place around as far as quality and precision goes. Great customer service, fast to get appointment.

I love it here! Mary & Henry (owners) remember everyone. Mary is hilarious! I love her mother Kim as well-she does the best manis!! I've never had a bad experience & my nails always look amazing! read more

The bad reviews are obviously from the old owners and this place is amazing. I got the mood polish for the second time and it is very cool. Highly recommend this place as the family is very friendly. if you have an appointment they get you in on time and they do their best to take walkins as well, but will be honest on the timing. read more

Got a full set and a pedi and they did an amazing job! Hard to find a nail salon where the techs are friendly and pay close detail of the quality of the work! You get what you ask for here and they make sure you leave happy! Will definitely be my go to place and will recommend to others! read more

Dirty. rude owner. He was sound asleep at his computer desk for an hour. Yells at fellow workers in front of everyone.

I just came across this place randomly. I went on a Friday around 4pm and there was no wait! That's the best way to start off a manicure. The manicure was to the point and very reasonably priced at $12. The nail technician did a good job. Unfortunately the nail polish I picked was a little too thin so my nails were a little sheer which looked a little weird since the color was a goldish-yellow. I wish she would have done a third coast. Also, it only lasted 30 minutes. Overall a good basic nail salon that I would definitely return too. read more

Always friendly & good experience. Nails always hold up for a long time because they really pay attention to details & do such a good job and take their time. Never feel rushed or slacked on with my nails when I go here unlike other salons I've been to. read more

Much better under the new management. Henry and Mary provide very personal service. Great selection of shellac colors. Interior is a bit dated looking but they do a good job. Prices are good too. One of the better nail salons in the area. read more

Today was my first day trying Gold Star out because my usual salon was closed. I was unbelievably pleased with the overall experience. The only negative thing I would say is that it's not the nicest looking salon. The decor was a little outdated but the prices were very fair. Everyone there was incredibly nice. You could tell there were a lot of regulars there. They did an exceptional job on my nails and I will most definitely be going back for my next nail appointment. read more
