Great people my nails turned out amazing highly recommend their services very clean smells refreshing inside

The lady rushed through my nails and did a terrible job. A day later one is cracked, one is broken, and i realized there was no clear coat put on my thumb. I went back to have them fixed during their business hours to find out that they closed 4 hours early. read more

I know time is money in this industry. But so is service!! I made an appointment for a pedicure and when I arrived, there were many people waiting as walk ins. I was taken back fairly quickly and soaked for 15 minutes. The total time that was spent on my French gel pedicure was 30 minutes... One of the nails she clipped was still attached and polished.....I am the type of person that tips well for great service. This was not that. I guess she thought it was a better idea to rush through my service so she could get to the walk ins...Hope my less than 10% was worth the rush. read more

Super clean and quiet! Great prices with fast quality service which I appreciate as a student.

Overall I was provided with great service and felt like the pricing was fair! I will definitely be back again when I am in the area! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Their new owner, Katie is awesome. My nails last for at least 3.5 weeks . She is friendly and has reasonable prices. She will make suggestions if you ask and goes out of her the way to make your experience amazing . Her salon is very clean and it definitely feels like a spa day. I am also extremely impressed with how long my nails last ! Best nail salon around ! read more

Great experience, super nice people, I've gone about 10 times since starting at MSU and won't go anywhere else. I've never had a set turn out bad (I get acrylics and fills) and their prices are much better than other places. The only thing they could change is talking so much in another language around you to other coworkers and they sometimes get a little irritable if you want anything changed. Other than that amazing experience and super cute and clean environment. read more

I love Nails! I have been going here for three years now! I go to MSU so this is very close to campus for any students looking for a good salon! I love the owner Katie she always makes sure her clients are well taken care of! Everytime I go in to the salon it is calming and quiet. Its like an escape for me. I truly appreciate all the hard working staff! read more

One time I went to this place called Nails.And if I am being honest I really suggest this place they were really friendly even when they repainted my toe nail.They also were really gentle and careful when painting my nails and toenails and if you said stop they would listen and did a great job. I also liked their decorations. They have an amazing taste in style and they want to clean your feet. That is a gross job and they do it probably every day for people.They really know how to make you relaxed and calm.This is why you should really go have a relaxing time at Nails and go there. people.They really know how to make you relaxed and calm.This is why you should really go have a relaxing time at Nails and go there. 12- year old Hannah rose read more

The second time around, the first time I could see the girls were booked and I even had an appointment. Couldn't get in for my nails. Two girls even walked out. Today I had an appointment at 9 am no one was here, waited till 9:10 am then left. My time is valuable. If I had an appointment at 9 you'd better be there at 9 am not two minutes or 10 minutes later. No I will never ever go back. I'm throughly disappointed not once but twice with this company. I will find someone who truly cares about their clients. read more

Terrible job. They don't look good at all, I got a full acrylic set and they are so thick and poorly shaped. I had to go back and get them all taken off in order to get a refund. I had nice nails before but now they are ruined and I'm upset. read more

The new owner katie is GREAT! I have gone to Katie for years and she always makes sure my services go wonderful. I love the way she does my nails,toes and my eyebrows this shop is a hidden gem but I want to bring more people in. The whole shop has good vibes read more

First of all, the salon itself looks very beautiful. They have a classic white theme with floral and accents. They give great pedicures! Would highly recommend. I have to say the first time I came here, I was a little bit nervous because the woman kept wiping my nails and trying over again for a while, so I was a little concerned. She kept telling me to put my fingers down as well, which was nerve racking. But overall great service! My nails turned out amazing (the blue and red "Harley Quinn" themed nails below)!!! Just shows they really put in the effort to make your nails look amazing! They attend to you pretty quickly and it seems to go by very fast. So far my nails have turned out great! I paid $85 for shellack pedicure and manicure full for the dark blue nails below. read more

Got dip and honestly the service was not good. First of all the lady was insisting I needed dip when all I wanted was a gel manicure. EXTREMELY rough and the lady used a broken bottle of nail polish on me which got glass on my nail which she had to wipe off. Also charged me 5 dollars extra because of the shape of my nails, not even to change the shape, just to file. Honestly save you're money and go somewhere else. read more

Very satisfied with my recent visit to Star Nails. I had been once in the past (over a year ago) for a gel full set and decided to return because I had the urge to get my nails done professionally. I typically get them done once a year, as I paint them frequently myself. I got another gel set this time and was very pleased with the results. My technician was quick, efficient, and kind. Although I personally wasn't in a rush, I appreciated how quickly they took care of me and how affordable the service was ($38). Will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

I got a fill here on a full set I had done elsewhere, and the original set was pretty thick and bulky and my nail tech thinned them down and shaped them perfectly without me even having to mention it! They are the perfect thickness and shape and I would say this is the BEST place to get your nails done in the EL area! I was in and out in under an hour. read more

Not great. I've been consistently getting dip done here for a little while. Techs are always incredibly aggressive when taking off the powder. My nails are starting to bruise and it literally hurts when they're removing it. They never care even when I ask for them to be gentle (after visibly wincing under their rushed work) or take a quick break. They also up charge for EVERYTHING and get mad when you don't pay cash. I need to find somewhere else to go. read more

I dont know why this place has so many bad reviews. There's really only one bad nail tech but the rest are amazing. See one of the guys for a stellar set. read more

Star Nails - Best set of acrylics i've ever had. Stellar job. They also are amazing at eyebrows and really listen to how you want them shaped. - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

After getting a pedicure here i thought everything was okay my nails looked good but then when I woke up in the morning I was in so much pain I wanted to go to the hospital from the ingrown mail they caused on my toe from incorrectly trimming my nail on the side only half way causing the remainder to have a sharp corner and push into the side of my toe. Will never be returning, should be more properly trained. read more

I had a 9:30 am appointment the Friday before spring break. When I called, the man over the phone said they can take me in early even though they open at 10. No one was there and I arrived at 9:15. I stood outside in the snow because I walked here for 45 minutes. I left because I wouldn't even trust them rushing my nails. read more

I went here all the time as it was close to me and convenient, but I won't be going back. Any time I got acrylic nails done here, the whole nail would just come right off... that has never happened, and I have done my nails for years now. Multiple times they would just come off entirely, and I gave this place multiple chances. One of the girls told me it was because "I needed a new set every 2-3 times I did my nails" and that "I'm getting what I paid for"... the salon I go to now said that's ridiculous. I have gotten fills multiple times at the new nail salon and the nails are fine. I sometimes go 3 weeks and don't have my nails come off entirely like they did at Star Nails (as if they were press on nails or something). I gave the place 3 stars because for the most part, they are all kind people and are talented but I just feel the quality is VERY questionable. Also, as you guys have probably read from other reviews, they would rather get things done quickly than save you pain. They are very aggressive! read more

During my time at MSU I went to this salon because my friend recommended. It was a mediocre hit or miss nail salon. After randomly deciding to get a pedicure I noticed a growth on my big toe and the nail was starting to rub into my skin. I ended up having to see a podiatrist and spending over $400 to have the growth removed and to fix the ingrown nail they caused. Never again will I go back or get a pedicure. read more

Do not go here!! If I could give 0 stars I would. I am a person who gets my nails done constantly so I know what is right and wrong. They left acetone on my nails for 1 HOUR!! The next day 2 of my nails completely ripped off and not even a week later the rest of my nails are just falling off because they're so brittle from them leaving the acetone on for so long. Let me remind you, these are my real nails.. so they have completely ruined my nails. I am so upset and will be calling to get a refund. read more

So, I'm not the type to go out and get "my nails done" but there was a special occasion that I wanted to really go all out for. So, I decided to get a full set and not just a little manicure. When you first walk in, you are totally bombarded by a couple ladies asking you what you want. You state what you want and they immediately find someone that is readily available. I've come here several times until I found one Nail Technician that is incredible. The other nail techs weren't as firm when they hold you hand or they don't really get all the "bad" things out and just let you walk out there thinking you had the best nail set ever. The Nail Tech that I recommend, her name is Jennifer. She gives off the shy vibe but is fluent in English and is kind to talk to. It was easy for me to start a conversation with her and not feeling as if she was talking to others in a different language about me (how many of you have had that feeling? LOL) She was very particular in her work and took her time to really give you the best product in the end. For my full set, I've noticed many places will "drill" into the bed of your nail and once the acrylic grows out, there would be a "bump". I absolutely despise that because they would ruin my real nails. Jennifer does not do this at all. How great is that and your nails turned out GREAT...not just good but GREAT. When I make an appointment, I only ask for Jennifer. Yes, this isn't fair for the other Nail Techs in there, but if they took their time and knew how to really do your nail set, then I would request someone else. The best thing about this nail shop is that it is located in the same strip as a Sushi Restaurant so that gives you good motive to make a girls night out to get your nails done and drink some Sake! read more

Jennifer does an amazing job! She is an all-around honest, humble, sweet and caring person! She takes her time, listens to you, and actually enjoys what she does. It's true that she seems shy but that just makes her who she is. You are guaranteed to love her. However, I am writing this review to inform everyone that Jennifer does NOT work at Star Nails anymore. She has moved to Kiss Nail, which is located on grand river. It is right down the street from Star Nails. If you want to be guaranteed an amazing job on your nails, go see Jennifer at Kiss Nails from now on! She is just down the street; it's worth the extra minute long drive. read more

I went here about a month ago and got my nails done with a full set of acrylics with gel. I got them filled 2 weeks ago. This is not the first time I've gotten my nails done with acrylics, but it is the first time I've gone there. Today I decided to take off the nails, and saw this: Green under 3 of my nails (the third is on the other hand). I thought it could've been a bruise, but I looked it up and no. It's Pseudomonas. I've attached a picture of the nails, and also a description of what pseudomonas is. I will never go here again and I hesitate to ever get my nails done again. The only explanation for me getting this is them not cleaning their tools or their own hands well enough before putting the product on, because I've gotten my nails done many times before and this has never happened read more

Do not go here..the woman who had done my nails was taking my gel polish off and took part of my nail with it. I pulled my hand away because of the pain and the woman aggressively grabbed it back, and began doing the same thing again. I also was asked if I want my nails cut and I said "just a little please". The woman proceeded to cut all my nails down to nubs, and did not shape them. I could tell she was in a rush and she got polish all over the sides of my nails, which I later picked off. Probably the least pleasurable experience I have ever had at a nail salon, I will never return. read more

They were nice and I love how my dip hasn't started lifting and is still intact, only thing is there are some rough patches I noticed once I got home. I can't find any place in EL to do good dip other than here. read more

Everyone who works here is amazing and they always give the best manicures. They're so nice and very accommodating!! Highly recommend!!

I love my nails . The nails techs are really nice and did a great job. I usually get acrylics but this time i got dip with tip and absolutely love it. Thanks again read more

I have gotten my nails done at many different places and NEVER have I been in PAIN during a manicure. I've never had my skin ripped off from a nail file. I squealed in pain and he blamed it on my moving. Four of my fingers bled. There is never any reason for them to bleed. He was in such a rush he did not care at all, not even about the shape of the nails. My middle finger nail is lopsided and I asked him to reshape and he said he wasn't done, but he didn't fix the nail. Terrible experience, will not be returning. Also, when my fingers were bleeding he cleaned the cuts with nail protector and a dirty used paper towel?? I had to ask for rubbing alcohol to clean all my open cuts. read more

this is hands down the worst place i've ever been to get my nails done. my acrylics are all different shapes and the polish is raggedy. never go here. also me and my sister are in pain from them taking the nails off. last but not least there's a fat black hair in my pinky nail.bad prices too. peridot read more

I have been coming to this salon the past 4 years during my college and always happy with their services. All the workers are young and in style, speak English professional and they know exactly what I want every time. Price are very affordable for students. Huge color collection from shellac to dip powder. The shop is clean, all their tools always in the sterilization machine before starting a service and places in sanitized individual packages. Highly recommended this salon. read more

I've been going to Star Nails for at least five years and Tracy is the best. Tracy is always very flexible with her schedule to get me in when I call and I'm usually calling last minute. She takes the time to make sure I am happy with my nails (shellac) before I leave the salon because she knows how picky I am. The shellac always looks beautiful and lasts at least two weeks or more unless, I chip them. Star Nails is very accommodating and I've seen them take last minute clients that walk in at 6:30 pm for manicures and pedicures even though they close at 7:00 pm. I would highly recommend Star Nails to anyone looking to have their nails done. read more

I've been to this salon a few times, and always thought the prices were decent. Called to make an appointment for 11:30 for 2 pedicures. Was told noon would be better, so I rearranged my day and scheduled for noon. We did not get seated until 12:30. Water was too hot for my daughter, she kept telling them this and they tried to bully her into just putting her feet in the water until I said, "Look, she said the water is too hot. Could you add some cold water so she can be comfortable?" Constantly tried to sell us additional services, upgrade to "deluxe" pedicure, add a manicure, "Do you want a flower"? This very much detracted from the enjoyment of this very rare indulgence. Did almost nothing about the calluses on my feet. I've had pedicures with them before, and left the salon with smooth heels and no callus on the ball of my foot. The tech just kept telling me, "You should get a deluxe pedicure for your calluses." Should be (and has been) part of a regular pedicure. We won't be back. read more
