    Kyla T.

    This afternoon I excitedly went to star nails spa expecting the service that I received the first time, while the service wasn't terrible it wasn't amazing this time. I don't remember the nail techs name but after picking a color and sitting down I told her that I wanted to do a fill, and that I was requesting coffin shaped and I asked if my nails were long enough to achieve that look. The nail tech said if I didn't shorten them at all that yes she could do that shape. So then she started my nails and when she started to file them down she use a very very sharp nail file that ended up cutting my pinky finger, she's been advised it would be an extra five dollars for the matted black color that I wanted, after cutting my literal finger she did not suggest to take any money off or anything to apologize or make up for my finger being cut. (Side note I realized after I got home that she actually cut 2 of my fingers) I have to go home sanitize my finger and put a Band-Aid on it until it heals so that I don't get an infection. The shape on one hand was fine the shape on the other hand is lopsided so while the job isn't terrible it's also not great and I also got a cut on the finger which could possibly get infected. Needless to say I am specifically requesting the nail tech that I had the first time if I ever come back here. Not only that but she also charged me seven dollars more than the original tech charged and I got the same thing the only difference was the extra five dollars for the matte which I think she charged an extra $3 for not just $5 she charged $8. At this point I'm really just at a loss for customer service in the Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford areas. I have terrible luck with nail techs no matter where I go its either screwed up nails, or the customer service is so terrible that even if the nails are OK I don't ever wanna come back. So if you go to this place specifically request Sophie she is the best nail tech there that I have experienced so far.

    What I wanted

    I gave the nail shop 5 stars only because everybody should see it. Me and my friend needed a mani/pedi just to you get fresh for and event we were going to. It would have been better if we save our money. Let me just show you what I asked for and what I got. And just so you know she missed my thumb so only nine of my nails are paint on my fingers.

    Star Nails is a newly renovated neighborhood nail salon. I've been coming here for over 2 years truly love this place. Genuine family oriented customer services provide. Definitely not like most nail salons where you are treated like just another customer. Relaxed atmosphere with soft music and really comfortable chairs. The foot and leg massage was firm but gentle, and I could have stayed all day because I kept falling asleep. Impressed with that fact that with such a small staff they are able to properly manage walk-ins (for procedures such as eyebrow waxing) without interrupting the service of current clients. Let me not forget the seats of nail color choices that are visible for clients to choose from. Pay them a visit and help promote small businesses.

    Why can't they ever get it right?

    So i went there for the first time today and got a wonderfully detailed pedicure from a nice gentleman. But when I went to go get a full set I was very disappointed especially after spending $95 total. As you can see it looks like I really need to get it redone. I told Julie to please put the white on my French color high so I can last a long time instead she did the complete opposite. I also asked for manicure but due to how long she was taking, i am glad she forgot. Its too bad because I was looking to finally find a good salon in the Fredericksburg area and once again I was extremely disappointed. I will only go here for pedicures unless I can find a nail technician that can do nails worth a damn.

    So you just couldn't change the polish?

    I went in for a polish change, and told I had to wait 20 minutes. So I sit and wait 20 mins and then I'm told to have a seat after 20 mins..So I sit and wait an additional 10 mins before I'm told they can't change my polish because it's gel, my nails are too long and they are short staffed, yet the person who came after me didn't have an appt and they were ok with taking her. Clearly they don't know what customer service is.

    Terrible service. No one speaks any English. Your Ads say $35 for a pedicure. The woman showed me a…read morecalculator that said $38 but then rang up $39. It included a $1 service fee "for credit and debit cards." Since the bank doesn't charge a debit card fee that makes what Venus does illegal. I won't be back.

    What began as a nice mother daughter mani pedi turned into a disappointing experience for us both…read more We had different nail techs. Nail chipping began the same evening on my daughter's nails and a few days after on my nails. I contacted the salon and spoke with Ann. She said she was the owner, to return and they would redo our nails. My daughter had a flight the next morning. No refund was offered. Unfortunately, I decided to go back because I knew gel nails had to be fixed / removed by the salon.. The owner, Ann, said that only she would take care of me. Upon my return, she did nothing to prep my nails. No soak or care taken. She ripped the gel off with a metal instrument. taking the top of my nails with it. I told her this was painful, but she ignored me. She used a drill on top of my nails after she'd ripping them off. At this point I felt I no choice but to have her reapply the polish. It was done sloppily after I refused her recommendation of an up-sale to Acrylic nails. She also said the color I'd chosen was one that chipped easily. I selected it from a book handed to me by my original nail tech. I felt quite bullied. She was aware I'd only had my nails done a couple of times in a salon. Once again, just two days later my nails began chipping. Now, I must find a reputable nail tech to remove the polish and hopefully my nail beds aren't too damaged by her rough careless treatment. The day my daughter and I had our nails done I was unable to pay because they don't accept American Express. My daughter paid with Venmo and I reimbursed her later. Ann, tip shamed my daughter because she didn't approve of the tip. I handed her an additional $20.00 in cash. I wonder now if our nail techs ever received our tip. I don't recommend this nail salon to anyone. Maybe it's worth also mentioning that day I noticed someone with an open leg wound receiving a pedicure prompting me to inquire if they had an autoclave for instruments. They had no idea what I meant. After explaining; I was told they had one. I looked around since we were seated at the far end of the salon. I saw no evidence of one. I did see dirty instruments tossed in a pile. It was over $200.00 for both of us not including the $35.00 tip. I believe this to be about average. So, not a cheap salon; Just cheap in quality. Ann was very rude to both of us. Based upon her attitude and actions towards me the day I returned to have my nails redone; it's my feeling she deliberately damaged my nails because she resented redoing them even though she offered to do so. In hindsight I wish I'd said nothing and just found another salon. I'm writing this review to warn others. There seem to be a lot of options in this area for nail salons. I hope my experience will help anyone reading this to make a better choice. I hope Ann reads this review and her customer service improves. This is shameful behavior particularly for the owner.

Around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, I called to ask what time they closed, and I was told 8 p.m., so I came in around 6:45. I was the only customer there, and the lady--who I believe is the owner--told me she would be doing my nails. While she was working on my nails, she had an attitude and was rushing through everything. She filed my nails at full speed, which caused a burning sensation. I'm sure she noticed by my facial expressions and by me pulling my hand away when it became unbearable. She even cut the side of one of my fingers with the nail file. The entire process took about 25 minutes. While my nails looked great at first, two days later my fingers are still in a lot of pain. The pain is so bad I can barely sleep or grip anything. I wonder if they're bruised underneath. I haven't gone back to speak with her because I don't think I could handle the pain if she tries to remove the nails. Plus, I don't want to remove a fresh set that I just paid for. I also think it was unprofessional of her not to tell me she wasn't willing to do my nails properly--possibly because she wanted to leave early or was in a rush. As I mentioned, I called ahead and didn't come in last minute. I do plan on returning to the salon for my next set, as I've had good experiences there before. But I felt this needed to be shared.
