    Update: Exactly 1 week and the edges are starting to lift/chip. This started happening a few days ago. Pics attached.

    I let the lady know I was interested in getting a full set french manicure. She let me know the wait was 20 minutes so I waited. The lady that did my nails rushed through the whole process. I took some photos as soon as I got in my car. This is the worst work I've ever gotten done. I cannot believe I was charged 60 for this. Never again. Save your hard earned money and go somewhere else.

    I came in today asking for a simple nail design, and it turned out great! I'm very happy with how it turned out, and she did a great job at matching the reference picture. I believe the artist's name was Mary, and she was super nice

    I wanted to try the dip. The process seemed like slot of steps, my nails felt tight & looked thick! I was not a fan but I figured I'll just not do this again & deal with it for a few weeks, a few hours later the gloss top coat is literally peeling off, every time I got my hands wet it became rubbery & would peel. I paid $50 & was there over an hour. So disappointed, I just want this removed & my money back

    Worst dip manicure ever!! Everything is bumpy and uneven. My nail tech filed through the color and some pink in coming through. My hands are raw because she scraped me twice. I would look anywhere else before going here. Plus it took almost an hour and half and I waited for 45 minutes for the ugliest manicure I've ever had.

    I have been a customer for a couple of years and I've never had a bad experience. You ladies rock! Lynn, I received so many compliments on my nails yesterday, thank you!

    No chip French manicure! :D

    Been here a few times but haven't left a review. I know I know... For shame. Any Who. This salon is simply fantabulous. I got a no chip French manicure, a regular spa pedicure ( which is extraordinary :p), and eyebrow wax. All of which was done in an hour maybe 1 hour and 20 minutes while they were already busy. They make sure to take the time to get everything done to your satisfaction but not drag on like some places do. And while there is some chit chattering going on and a TV its at a tolerable level and the stylists are so polite and considerate. They will engage in conversation if you want, or let you relax in silence. I always bring my friends here and tell them how good it is. I also think it speaks in volumes when they know a multitude of customers by their names. As Shia LaBeouf would say: Go to star nails! Do it. What are you waiting for? Just DO IT!!!!

    Here are my nails, AFTER, a manicure. By the way, I was charged $2 to remove ALL nail polish on one hand and there's still polish left over.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. The service that I went in for was a manicure, no polish. I explained that I am very tired and just didn't want to clean up my nails before I polish them myself (I do my own gel). I had a girl in the second chair. She hardly spoke to me and did a terrible job. My nails are not filed evenly, smooth, or all the same shape. My cuticles are still a hot mess. And to top it off, she rushed through the hand massage. I wish I didn't pay. After getting home, I felt more and more ripped off, so I called to ask for a refund and they refused. They said to come back. If they did a bad job the first time, I'm not wasting my time to go back. I hardly ever write reviews, but this deserved one. Ah! The girl who did my nails sent a message on here to me. Tried telling me that they are even and look good. Check out the pics that I posted and see for yourself.

    I just had an amazing experience at Star Nails of Elgin! My nails (no-chip mani/pedi) look amazing & the eyebrow wax was fast and painless. Lin & Tony were so kind & gentle & they do such a great job at a very fast pace. The chairs are sooo comfortable & I got a much needed massage, so relaxing! Well placed flat screen TVs for entertainment and such a peaceful environment. This will be my new place, as I just moved to the area. I'll see you guys every 2 weeks for up keep! Next time I may even bring my 4 year old daughter, as I saw several kids there enjoying there $5 kids manis! See you soon & thank you!!!

    This is so bad I just want to tAke them off but I can't

    I just paid 35$ for this. The guy said it was the color. I've chosen this many times before. This is so bad like I could have done a better job myself. I still had to pay though. I'm so upset :( don't recommend it

    Savannah P.

    Very friendly staff! They weren't afraid to have a conversation with us while we got pedicures. Did a fantastic job on our nails. Would definitely recommend

    Tech did not clean my old nail polish off my cuticle

    See all

She was gentle & methodically did the manicure to perfection. Her dainty art work was exactly what I wanted. It's perfect. I brought a picture & they said they could do it no problem. They assigned me a young man who obviously didn't know what he was doing. Even filing my nails he rushed & was very sloppy. They're uneven. It was a French manicure with a glitter design. Other staff members came over without me asking & made him redo it FOUR times!! It still looks nothing like the picture. Very disappointed

However, I have been here twice now and seen two different nail techs. The salon is nice and clean, I think I read in someone else's review that it was dusty.... (Eye roll) it's a nail salon...there's dust flying around all the time. My first visit I saw Alex for a dip. I had gotten impatient and had removed my dip myself, which of course resulted in busted up nails that were slightly embarrassing. He did an amazing job and it was probably the fastest dip manicure I've ever had. The second visit I also had embarrassingly trashed nails because of poor planning on my part with timing before family pictures. Vicky was so meticulous and got my nails cleaned up and looking amazing. I have no idea how she did it because they were ROUGH when I arrived. 2 great experiences, I will definitely be coming here from now on!

I have been here a total of 3 times, the first two times being great experiences and this third being my final and worst. Don't bother using their online appointment system. The manager was upset I accidentally made two appointments as they don't have a cancel or reschedule option. I put a note in the second appointment saying I needed to reschedule to later, as I called earlier and the salon was closed/no answer. He berated me at the salon saying "no, call, you make two appointments and we can't see notes in our system" so why have a note option online at all? Pricing is not transparent and honestly they are a little shady with it. I booked an appointment for a gel fill in, and knew I'd probably pay more to get an acrylic put on as one of my nails broke. During the service, the technician wasn't very talkative and not helpful when I asked what color (between two colors) would not match too closely to my skin tone as I didn't want that. I really don't like how my nails came out. At the end, he charged me for a full manicure on top of the gel fill-in, acrylic tip, and cat eye. My total was $75 when I only came in for a gel fill in & I understand the cat eye is more. I didn't ask for a manicure and he definitely didn't ask me if I would like one for an additional charge. I'm not going back to this salon, as I rather spend that much money for an owner/manager who values his customer and doesn't seem to have an attitude at every single remark. Also, I don't appreciate shady businesses adding services and charging you at the end because obviously I'll pay for it being done but I didn't ask for it so how is that fair?
