Trying to find a nail shop close to home that will do a fill and pedicure. I will continue my hunt... Made an appointment at 5:30 and you know how you walk in sometimes and the ladies all look at each other like who's gonna do it it was that vibe and I don't think I've had my nails filled and a pedicure done in that record time. It's definitely a wham Bam thank you ma'am experience as of right now the nails look good I do wish she buffed a little more along the edges. They're rough we'll see how they grow out. read more

I had just about given up on nail salons when the inevitable happened, I have an event tomorrow and my toes look terrible. Stopped in on my lunch to make an appointment and came back after work and was seated for my pedicure, no waiting like everywhere else I've been. Kim took excellent care of my toes and did all the things I usually have to ask for without saying a word. Gold Star has restored my faith in nail salons. Wonderful read more

Services are way overpriced. I paid $77 for a regular nail set. The nail tech also used a fancy term for powder dip. Nails were short and the price was ridiculous. I'd usually pay $50 for this. My daughter got longer nails and it was the same price. Ridiculous!! read more

Krystal is my go-to girl! Her work is always clean and precise, which is why I keep coming back to her. I'm very picky about my nails because I look at them every day, so I believe it's only fair to be completely happy with the service. That's why I like Krystal. I've loved every design/style she has done for me. read more

Been coming here since I was 15 almost regularly and I'm 29 now. Love them and they're always honest and fair with their pricing. If something costs extra they'll tell you! Some days they do get packed though so if you don't have a lot of time make an appointment! Reference photos when you want a design are also always helpful! read more

Horrible in so many way. Paid $107 for a FILL and pedicure. Mind you I was there on January 6 for the same thing and only paid around $70 With tip!! On top of their disgusting prices that they decide to raise overnight. Do not let them fool you and say these are new year prices because again I was there on January 6 and only paid $70 I go on. January 17th and it almost doubled. On top of that today marks 1 week since I got my nails done. Which was basic light pink gel. The gel is already chipping off. This so the second time it's done this. The gel polish and their service is not worth $107 matter fact it ain't even worth the $70 I was OK paying, lol! Definitely lost a client. I would never be back. read more

I took my daughter here this afternoon for her birthday, and we had a great time. The staff was kind and we felt like it was a relaxing environment. They have COVID precautions, which made us feel more comfortable receiving service there. We both were really pleased with how our nails turned out, and would go back if we we feel like getting pampered again. read more

Vicky is THE BEST! I've been to this nail salon a few times as a walk in taking whoever (they're all pretty great. And so friendly) One day Vicky scooped me up. And did magic! She gave me her card and told me to text when I was ready to come back. I've been loyal to Vicky since! She has a laidback vibe. Has the best color suggestions. And does amazing ombré- as shown in my pick. I am so grateful for Vicky and her expertise. Especially powder dip! read more

Gold Star Nails - Ombré powder dip done by Vicky - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Forest, California

BEWARE SCAM! My niece went to this place to get her nails and pedi done.. she's a young girl and they totally took advantage of her. What normally cost $87.00, she was charged $130.00. My niece being young and not wanting confrontation didn't say anything until she got home, she told her mother. Her mother went there and got her a refund. I'm only writing this review to make ppl aware that there is an employee there scamming ppl. If you look at prior reviews you will see Jennifer B had a similar experience. So this wasn't an accident. If I were the owner I would be firing someone immediately. read more

I've been to a couple nail placing around the area and this place seem to have hit the spot. I highly recommend Krystal. I got to her to do my manicure and she always does it so clean and efficient. I've had dip nails done in the past that have always been bulky and hated it. But, when Krystal did it look so beautiful! You can't even see the dip! read more

Never coming to this nail salon my nail broke in 1 week that I was there and I came back to get my nail replace and it was super short and not the same size as all my nails read more

Great service for the conditions they find themselves. I wanted a pedicure so bad and they are open! It's outside and you don't get the spa chair experience but I appreciated them doing their best to make it special. The chair was hard so I would bring a pillow to sit on. Plenty of parking and good work. I will return for sure! read more

I always get my pedicures with Natalie and she is very clean and detailed. She is always able to squeeze me in last minute which is super convenient. The shop is large and spacious with lots of chairs and tables and they always take walkins. My gel pedicure was less than $40 before tip! read more

this is my first time at this nail spot and I've had terrible experiences in the past, but this one has been the best they were so nice and listen to exactly what I wanted and executed it perfect plus their prices are extremely reasonable I got a set of acrylic extensions and it was only $60.

This review is for their lack of Covid safety procedures. This was my local nail salon and I have been coming for years. All my past experiences have been positive. My latest trip was less than desirable.There are three total customers including me. They wanted to put me right next to one customer (she was maskless) when there were four empty seats next to her. Why is this necessary? I asked to sit at the other end. The manager says that I should have told her sooner. Sooner than what? I just walked in and was barely said a word to. A fourth customer walks in (maskless) and they seat him right next to me. Why is this necessary when they could have spaced us out? Sure they have shields on and the workers are masked, but they lack basic common sense and courtesy! Why not space us out? If it was crowded, I can understand but I came at a quiet time so I could avoid the crowd. It doesn't make sense to sardine the customers when there is plenty of space available. Time for another salon, sadly. read more
