My girlfriend has been coming to this nail salon for over 20years on and off and I usually treat her, however their prices are going up and the nails do not last. The last two very rushed pedicures she got lasted 2 days before chipping and they cut her toenails uneven and crooked. The prices online do not reflect the real prices in salon so we were surprised at price. Her last dip manicure with tips lifted after less than a week. When she came back to let them know, they treated her as if it were her fault and a one time courtesy to fix. They recently received a small remodel inside which benefited the technicians mostly with better organization of their products etc. and was done by owners husband. Of course after this remodel all prices went up again another $5. I feel customers shouldn't have to pay for their upgrades especially when service stays the same. They tried to say it was the first time they raised the prices in 20 years but that was false information because the prices have gone up before in that time as regular manis used to be $10 then $12 then $15 and now $20 or even more. Now I have to pay $55 with tip for her to get a regular gel polish on her own nails which does not add strength and lasted a week and a half last time and is easier with UV cure imo. That's like paying $4-$5 everyday you wake up just to look at your nails with color and nothing special. She used to come here for the decent prices and because the girls working here have great personality and are good people, but we have to look elsewhere now and they have lost our service. Girlfriend is not happy about that. read more

I have been going to Star Nails for about 10 years. They just redid the inside, and it is beautiful, but that's not the best part. The staff is fabulous, and it has an "everyone knows your name" feel. Everyone is always happy and friendly, and I always get compliments on my nails. read more

It's my favorite place, everyone is professional and exceptional! They are personal, caring and experienced. I love them!

I love this place so much! Been coming to Lynn for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else. They take their time to do a good job and actually care about the people! read more

Star Nails - Dip powder nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Technicians are very warm, friendly and welcoming which I loved, however sanitation for pedicures needs huge improvement. No liner or sterilized tools. Very tiny salon. Tech I had was competent but had lifting of the acrylic after only a week. read more

The ladies here are great and super nice. They really want the customer to leave satisfied and will take the extra time to make sure they do or correct any unhappiness in their work. That being said for almost $50 with tip, a regular mani/pedi didn't even last me one day and I was being very careful -maybe the gel and dip last longer but I don't think the regular mani/pedi is worth it. read more

Made a last minute decision to get my nails done, and Star had opening so I decided to give them a try. GPS took me to the location but I couldn't find the place at first due to building construction took off their business sign. Finally found it and the service was great. The shop is a bit tight and they were busy, but they started on my nails on time, that was good. Price not the best , but service was quality and efficient. Will return. read more

Star Nails - Nails dip - Nail Salons Near Me - Olney, Maryland

I love this salon. My nails always look amazing and the ladies are so sweet. The work is excellent and fast. Love it!

I absolutely hate writing negative reviews, but my experience at Star Nails needs to be shared. I had a pedicure and a dip powder manicure about 10 days ago. Both services were incredibly rushed, and the technician only filed my nails and threw on the powder, no cuticle shaping or any other typical manicuring. I was rushed out so quickly that I had to ask the next customer who was shown to my chair if I could get my shoes and purse. I chalked it up to a busy day and tried to not be upset. Then 7 days later, the dip manicure started to lift at the base. Not just one nail, 8 of them. Every time I've had a dip powder manicure, it has lasted 3+ weeks. Then on day 10 one popped off like it was a press on. That should not happen with this type of manicure! I am very, very disappointed with the quality of this service. read more

Pedicure was well-done in this clean, friendly salon. They were prompt and e well-priced. I would definitely return.

Start to finish I was in there for 35 mins, and that included 12 min under the dryer. No doubt, they were busy on Friday afternoon, but don't overbook your three person staff. I had to finish rubbing in the lotion for my 20 second massage... come on. She quickly ran through my manicure. No clean up around the edges. I can see spots where it will eventually peel from the nail... great. (By the way, I'm still in the parking lot. I just had to get this review up on Yelp.) Pros: decent selection of colors, convenient on Fri, good prices Cons: small space, limited parking, cramped chairs, maybe sanitized nail tools (?), fresh towel for every hand wash I probably won't be back. read more

The business is really going above and beyond to ensure safety during the covid pandemic. The salon is clean and they require customers to wash hands upon entry! Lynn is great, she does an amazing job. My husband went to Kathy and she also does an amazing job. They installed plexiglass around the pedicure chairs and have them on the tables for when you get a manicure. I also noticed that the salon technicians are using hand sanitizer constantly! It was a great experience and can't wait to return! read more

I was doing a yelp search and came across this place. I'm so glad that I came in and experienced my own service. Very happy with the results. I will be coming back. read more

Star Nails - Manicure and pedicure. She really cleaned out my cuticles and fix my broken toe nail. - Nail Salons Near Me - Olney, Maryland

I went to this salon today for the first time. I'm new to the area and a friend of mine recommended it. I walked in around 1:30 without an appointment and they took me right away. Initially I had planned on getting a gel manicure and a pedicure. The nail tech Cathy recommended trying the dip powder, which I'd never tried before. I agreed but I'm not sure it's right for me. Normally I get the gel manicures with Essie gel because I like the colors better (solid, opaque). The SNS swatches they had at the salon weren't quite my taste (most have shimmer or glitter in them). Also, I'm not sure if this is common for dip powder, but I noticed after I got home that there appears to be a few bumps and places where the polish looks like one of the layers wasn't completely dry and it was running. It's not real noticeable and that's why I didn't see it until later in the day (photos attached). I chose a color that I thought I liked (#17 I think) and Cathy tried to find a matching polish for my pedicure. She ended up mixing two colors but after looking at it in natural light it really wasn't that close. I have to give her credit for trying though. She was really nice and I would definitely go back to her again. I think it will take some trial and error but I plan on going back in a few weeks, but probably for a gel or regular manicure instead. read more

Full disclosure: My last visit there was right before the COVID nightmare shutdown. Unfortunately, I haven't been back since because of the school/shutdown/schedule, but hope to go back soon! I discovered Star Nails because my son started school in Olney. When he had strength and conditioning training, I had a couple hours of time to kill. I decided to take advantage of it and do things I normally have difficulty finding time for. That's how I came across Star Nails. I called to see if they had availability and that was the beginning of me having beautiful manicured hands on a fairly regular basis! It is a small and very friendly salon where the majority of business seems to be "regulars." The staff seems very tight and close which I also appreciate because it shows loyalty. I love that they always seem to remember me even when a decent amount of time has passed between visits. I have brought my daughter with me on occasion, and even my son once. They still remember both of them and ask about them. It shows that they care about their clients - I love that! Finally, they are always pleasant and easy to work with. They seem to always try to accommodate their clients needs. Another plus is that they offer a small cash discount! I really hope that they are able to stay open and continue with business as usual... read more

This was my first time at the salon and I received the BEST gel manicure I have ever gotten. I went to Jimmy! He did a phenomenal job. Very precise with his work and has a steady hand. Will be coming back to him every time! Not to mention the salon is beautiful! So clean, relaxing, and comfortable. read more

This is my favorite spot to get a mani/pedi and waxing too! Lynn always does an amazing job putting on acrylics! If you want your nails done perfectly go see her! I've been going for years now! It's a small place so your best bet is to make an appointment because When it's busy it is a little stuffy and not much room to sit. Great little nail place! They know me by name and always strive to make each visit worth going back again! read more

1st review? really? This place is very hidden...behind the Mattress Discounters...but has been there for 5 years... happens to be the only place you can get your nails done and be out by 7:30PM...yeah I know...rolling in Olney at 7PM looking to get my nails done (unheard of but true...job interview the next day....) and there was Star nails to save the day. My french manicure at $18 was perfect under the care of Ms. Lee. She was so patient and worryless even though it was snowing outside...her hand massage and lovely conversation treating you like a million bucks....ok I could not help to talk about food...and I got her favorites...Nam and Pho 75 in Rockville. i know she woooed me in a good way by giving me an extra layer of coating in my nails... Will I come back..YES! no doubt...at 7PM...no one else in the area does... read more

Star Nails is a very reliable nail salon. The technicians and receptionists are pleasant and the salon is clean...it is a little small inside, yet it feels cozy. Linh is amazing! All of the technicians are very good at what they do...I just always go to Linh and I'm usually thrilled with my nails! She does French freehand and it is perfect! I gladly make the drive from DC to Olney every couple weeks to get my nails done here. read more

I have been coming here since middle school, way over a decade ago. They changed management a while ago and i love the new owner, posh spice, she's so cute. I cant remember her name but she has the victoria beckham haircut. I wont let anyone but Annie touch my eyebrows. She is the best. They just got new massage pedicure chairs. And $35 for a basic mani/ pedi??? Not bad at all. Ive never walked out without feeling and looking great. Be patient and respectful and they'll get you in and out. But who wants to rush getting pampered. My fave person to do my nails is the owners mom. But you better tip!!! Because these ladies deserve it. And they can add your tip to your total and charge it. How rare is that? Ill never let a white girl at some ritzy salon touch my nails. Huge rip off. I don't even live near here anymore, but everytime I come to visit I try to make it in. At least for a $10 eyebrow wax. I really don't go to anyone else for one, I just maintain with tweezers in between. read more

Great techs in small quarters! Im new to the area so my decision was from all of you YELPERS. Thanks, it was wonderful. Tina was my tech and she was wonderful. Im a big guy so I didnt expect the seating to be flawless but I will do it again. Im actually booked to see them again in 2 weeks. OVERALL....AWESOME Manicure and Pedicure read more

Star Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Olney, Maryland

I was at this salon for almost 2 hours for a dip mani. My nail tech struggled to file a consistent shape and get the dip even. She put the base coats and dip powder on my skin on the sides of my nails and cuticle. I asked multiple times to file that down because I knew as it grew out it would peel up. I was tempted to ask her to just remove it before I left but just wanted to get out of that salon. Here it is just a week after the manicure and the top of the polish is peeling up and gets stuck in my hair. Not happy to have spent all that money to need to get my nails redone in just one week, but I will not be going back here. read more

I was referred to Star nails by a friend of mine and I have been very pleased. The prices are a bit steep, at least for the dip powder which is what I only get for a manicure but it's worth it!

Be on time, if not early to make sure you get a seat. read more

So I have been living in Olney my whole life and this was my first time here and let me tell you, they are amazing! We called the same day to make an appointment and we were in and out in under an hour. I had Kathy and she was so warm and friendly and asked me if I liked what she was doing every step of the way. She made sure I left there with exactly what I wanted. My mother got a regular mani/pedi and they looked amazing, like gel almost very smooth and shiny. The place is small and cozy but they make you feel like you have been coming there for years! read more

I have been going to Star Nails for about 10 years now and LOVE it! Yes, it is small but that is what I love about it! The minute you arrive you feel welcome and at home. I have been having Kathy do my nails for years and she helps keep an ingrown toe nail under control! Don't need a large, fancy place- want quality service and that is what Star Nails provides! read more

I debated for awhile whether or not I should write a review but here goes: I personally did not like Star Nails. I found the staff to be courteous and friendly but overall I did not quite enjoy my time there and do not think I will be going back. The first thing I noticed was the fact that they did not have any brush on glitters for nail designs, which was exactly what I wanted but could not get. Their selection for gel nail polish glitters was also not very large. I do think my nails were rushed, as I do not think my gel manicure had enough layers to it before it was considered done. The day after one of my nails chipped, which has never happened to me before with a gel manicure. I went with my sister as well and a jewel she had on her gel manicure also fell off the day after, which to me was surprising because with a gel manicure I had before (at a different nail salon), the jewels stayed in place for over a week. I also was not particularly fond of the cleanliness of the entire salon. When I was told to come sit at a nail station I found someone else's nail clippings left on the counter. My sister enjoyed the salon, but I strongly think that for this same price range your money would be better spent somewhere else. read more
