This was by far the dirtiest nail salon I've ever stepped into. The floors were filthy, dust and nail polish spills were all over the walls, and the tools didn't appear properly cleaned or sanitized. It was genuinely gross and made me question how this place is even allowed to operate. The salon was also completely unorganized and understaffed. As a walk-in, I expected a bit of a wait -- but after waiting about 40 minutes with no communication, I left without even getting my nails done. Other people seemed just as frustrated. Between the lack of cleanliness, the chaos, and the poor customer service, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It seriously needs to be inspected. read more

I only come here for mani and pedis with my favorite tech, CC. She's polite, professional, and always does an amazing job. She's also the only one who can wax and shape my brows perfectly. Now that she's moved, I'll be going wherever she is. The salon itself needs improvement. The name doesn't match the esthetics, it's too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer, and kids' toys are often laying around. It's usually pretty empty when I visit, which says a lot. read more

Walked in and had a strange vibe with no one there. Saw a girl employee giving another guy employee a massage. I felt like I was interrupting something. As I was getting my nails done, I looked around and there was filth everywhere. Every inch of space was disgusting. I should have ran out. In another area there were a bunch of clothes for sale. Don't go. Very dirty and expensive. read more

I am pretty hard on my feet (nurse) and they were in embarrassingly rough shape. Came here with my 10 yr old for a girls treat, on Sunday with no appointment and we received excellent services! The foot and leg massage, OMG amazing! Prices super reasonable too. Very aesthetically pleasing salon spotlessly clean lots of light, modern, great pedicure/massage chairs. Very professional and friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Edit 8/2017---I still love this place! Now, I don't do manicures, only pedicure, but I have had nothing but stellar service and results. I went a week ago for a pedi, and my feet are still nice and soft, polish still on, perfectly. It is not a fancy atmosphere. A little dated, and the building used to be a bank I'm told, so the set up is a little awkward--- I'm a fan! read more

This is my new place I think they are great! I'm about to get a pedicure too! I think the prices are reasonable and staff is nice! read more

Worst experience to have for my girlfriends birthday! Took her to get her nails done. Older gentleman showed us to the table. Didn't wish to talk much, which is ok by me. It was her first time so we asked general questions like how long on average should they last, how long has he been working there etc. Gave responses like "they will last forever" and "he just started". I am a fan of comedy to lighten the mood, but it should also be followed by actual responses to questions after she mentioned this was her first time getting her nails done so is a novice. The biggest issues we encountered was instead of pushing back the cuticles he actual cut them resulting in bleeding and pain in her nails. When she stopped him and asked not to cut the cuticles with the machine and that she was in pain, he said she's moving too much and had to relax, trying to blame her for his mistakes. On top of that there was glue and residue left, unfinished sides of nail unpainted. He was also quite pushy asking several times to add on a pedicure after being told no several times. Worst experience for her birthday will not be back and do not recommend to anyone. If you do come her please try someone else you may have better luck. read more

It was good and the service was good but the only thing they need is to renewal the store

Star Nails is a disaster. The employee gave me a pedicure in 15 minutes! She kept saying she was ready to go home even though I was there an hour before closing. The facility is very dirty and unkept. The owner thinks it's okay to watch tv very loudly and in his language. The turnover seems to be an issue too. I'll never return. And the manager and employee were not wearing mask. read more

My nails are still recovering from the damage the guy did. I was scarred from ever getting my nails done again. Stay away from this place. If you want to keep your nails. I'm just glad it didn't get infected. read more

worst nail salon ever. They overcharge for regular polish and basic nails, they change the price every single time, they have a child running around the salon grabbing people to get their attention while getting their nails done, and the stuff they use is definitely not sterile and they cut cuticles which I don't even think nail salons can do anymore. read more

We (3) came in with an appointment at 12 pm on a Friday for 3 pedicures. We were taken right away and seated with no wait. Duong was GREAT!!! Everyone was friendly and the establishment was clean! We will definitely be back!!! #goldenpedicure read more

dirty salon, can't even relax cause her son is all over the salon , talking to everyone , being rude . It is suppose to be a place of relaxation. far from that.they tell you one price on the phone then charge you a different amount when you pay.I'm surprised they are still in business. read more

It took over two hours for a mani pedi. The woman who did my pedicure was awesome, the man who did my nails butchered them. By the time he was finished it was 9:10pm and they were closing so the following morning I called and asked if they could fix them because each nail is crooked. They said yes but when I got there they made me wait 45 minutes. I only came here in the first place bc they are open later than my regular salon. Never coming back here. read more

When I first saw this nail salon, I was skeptical because the review was low. I decided to give them a chance regardless. They provide mediocre service. I've only had excellent service from one staff member there: a young gentleman who wears glasses. He's really cheerful and helpful. But the other staff who have done manicures and pedicures have done such a poor service, especially the last time I went. The staff did such a hatch job that I just decided that would be my last time there. read more

This is my 2nd time going, first time I went and I wasnt 100% satisfied, but I give 2nd chances. I could've kept my 2nd chance because they rushed my pedicure and it came out shi$$y. I will NOT be going back!!! Dont go!!!! read more

You're probably wondering how it could go from a 5 to a 1. Well let me tell you. I came in and asked if they had room for me. They said they did and placed me at one table. I told them I was going to go to the bathroom and when I came back they gave my seat to someone else. I got told to go to another table but asked where my color choices had gone to. We spent a minute finding my color choices that the first guy brushed aside. When I explained how I wanted my nails done and which one I wanted sparkly, he answered, "Yeah I know." The guy doing my nails hurt me a couple times too. First he pressed too hard when grinding my old polish off and it stung bad. Second he got the final coat on my fingers so when I was in the blue light it cured on my skin and burnt me a little. The icing on the cake was he asked me if he could take a phone call quick. He came back several minutes later after someone went to go get him. When he returned he had a cocktail in his hand... I wish I was joking. Never coming back. read more

I got a full set. Three nails broke in less than a week. I went to get them fixed, the day after two more nails broke and the gel polish was already peeling read more

This salon was honestly pretty terrible. A dirty, unkept building with poor lighting. The staff were rude, chatting among themselves and not paying much attention to their work. My nails are sub par at best, and the man who did them cut me four times. My hands are so sore after going here, and my nail beds hurt a lot. read more

Never go again!! Rushed my manicure once more people start coming in the door. I had a gel manicure done my pinky was ruined when something was on the paint to fix it he put more polish on it and a top coat you can still see the damage. Come to find out he was the manager of the store. read more

READ!!! I read the Yelp reviews before going in, and boy are they wrong!!! The first time I went in I was skeptical but I absolutely love this place. There's a gentleman named Young that does pedicures and does a deep tissue massage with the pedicure for awhile it is amazing!! It's only $25 and the best massage ever!! Not to mention how polite everyone is. Kevin runs the place in a great way, it's clean and friendly at all times. Kevin never fails to impress me with the full sets I get. Also, if you do your eyebrows this is the place to go!! Prices are great and so is the staff highly recommend! read more

Was very messy in there they were very rude they wouldn't fix my request then I asked them to they were just very rude overall so never come to this place read more

Just had the best experience there! I use to be a loyal customer for years and then stopped going to try other places. Today I went in for a fill but the guy recommended I get gel instead to have my natural nails relax. Best decision ever! Cycy took her time doing my nails, cleaning them throughout and gave me the best manicure! Highly recommend it read more

Stopped in one night to get my wife a pedicure and based on the price I opted for mani and pedi, wife said Yung was great. Very thorough and detail oriented and did an amazing job, she'll be going there from now on read more

Terrible! I went there as a last minute decision and I wish I could take it back. First my nail tech cuts my finger very deeply and was bleeding and dips my finger in the purple acrylic mixture and says "it'll make it feel better". That's highly unsanitary and now my blood was in the acrylic mixture which is used on ALL customers. There was glue and acrylic cement ALL OVER my fingers and arms and my nails were extremely thin and crooked and when the nail tech finished, two of them broke just by opening my purse to pay. He takes the card anyways and charged me 40 when he told me 28. I was furious and immediately asked for my money back. One of the employees started off by saying he "doesn't know how to make a return" so I then asked for the manager and he says she was home when she was there the whole time. All of my nails were cracked and he tried making me look stupid and tells me "it's part of the design" are you serious?? I started to get very upset and asked again for the manager and she finally comes to the register and I simply tell her I am not paying for these nails. She then says "fine" and grabs my arm over the counter and clips off all my nails and says "now you can have your money back". Worst service ever and worst nails I have ever gotten done in my entire life. I wish I could rate 0 stars if I could. read more

Worst nail salon I have ever been to. We called and scheduled appointments there were 3 if us. It took them three hours to get us done. I had 3 different people come to do my nails and had to explain to each person what I wanted. I was then very irritated so I just wanted to pay and leave. After looking at the receipt I realized they didn't give us the promotion they were having. So we brought it up to the managers attention and was told that the discount was applied which it wasn't and he proceeded to tell us he didn't know what to tell us the promotion was applied. I then walked out and went to my car. I then realized I was cut in the process which I didn't realize till after I got in the car. read more

Made an appointment for 2 pedicures at 11. Immediately we were sat at a station but there were 5 nail technicians working and 9 people sat down either being helped or waiting. Having made an appointment, we expected to start around 11. We waited until 1130, no tech had finished with their customers yet. When we asked how long it would be we were told "two minutes" every 10 minutes for the entire half an hour. At 1140 we again told them we had an appointment at 11 and asked how long they would take to finish up there current customers and how long the pedicure itself would take because we had somewhere to be at 1230. We were again told we would be helped in 2 minutes. We walked out and will not be returning. read more

Terrible service. Rushed through the entire process. Nails lifted and chipped within the first 5 days! 40 bucks for a horrible experience. Not to mention the guy hurt my cuticles and I was bleeding! I've never been treated like this. I will not be returning. Beware. read more

Just took my 93 yo Dad there for a pedicure. He was spending 40$ at the podiatrist and left in pain every time. Cycy took very good care of him and he was thrilled. I had the reflexology pedicure with Young and he really knows his stuff. The chairs are shiatsu massage chairs. My Dad then decided to get a manicure. All and all a great experience and we will be regular customers. They even helped my Dad to the car. I can't say enough about Star Nails. read more

This was my 2nd time at this salon and horrible service waiting for almost an hour for service. Then they took forever and still did a horrible job. I paid $65 for a pedicure which the guy cut my toenails too short and he half polsihed my toes. My nails are all different shapes and sizes and it has not even been a week and my gel polish and acrylic is coming off, now while on my vacation in Florida I have to go get my nails redone. THANKS STAR NAILS! I WILL NEVER VISITED YOUR SALON AGAIN. read more

I just left Star nails after an amazing Pedicure! The gentleman that did it was very gentle yet efficient. It was extremely relaxing and I will definitely return there. Perhaps a manicure next?! read more

The worst nail place in rochester..no wonder the parking lot is always empty! Rude..dirty and asked for cash only..never again

I have never left a bad review on anything however I came to this shop a couple times because the hours are awesome ! They are open on Sunday and stay late during the week. The first time I went my gel chipped 2 hours after leaving then the second time I broke a nail within 2 days !! I have never broken a nail in the 13 years of having my nails done. Not to mention they charged me $30 to paint my 7 year olds toes ( not a pedicure just painted) ridiculous! I will say that the gentleman who painted her toes was very sweet and friendly but I'd never go there again. Working 60 years a week I definitely dont have time to keep coming to get my nails fixed every 2 days read more

I walked in and walked right back out after. The place smelled horrible and just looked disgusting and dirty inside. The men working there look sketchy almost criminal like. I called ahead and asked them if they did the nail dip, the lady I asked said "yes we do". When I sat down the man was so rude when I asked for color swatches he asked me why I even wanted the dip? I left immediately. As soon as I walked in the environment was so weird I'm glad I didn't give them my money. If I could give 0 stars I would but unfortunately I can't. read more

Quang was amazing! Wonderful service, friendly and fantastic foot massage. I felt like I had a new pair of feet!

I've never been neglected so badly and my father was a dead beat. I walked in and NOBODY said ANYTHING to me. I waited for someone to acknowledge my existence for like legitimately 10 minutes. The worker who eventually took me in was sitting on his phone when I walked in and he was straight up ignoring me even when I said "Hello??" Like what the fuck is that?? He cut my fingers with three different tools and didn't say sorry or clean them with anything. The place was extremely unsanitary. The nail stations were not clean and there were fingernails on them. They played the same exact ethnic Asian pop soundtrack over and over again and the only reason why I know this was because I was in the building for literally like two and a half hours and I'm not even fucking exaggerating. I don't know why it took so long to give me French tip acrylic nails... oh wait! Yes I do! Want to know why?? Because half of the time he was taking phone calls and stopping everything to talk to a coworker that he probably sees every fucking day. I witnessed a very polite customer say thank you and walk out and not even 1 minute after she walked out a worker already had started talking shit about her. Now that I think about it I should've actually taken it as a warning sign that they had no customers at the height of prom season. What a fucking dump. I wouldn't even want my worst enemy going to this joke of a nail salon. Oh and by the way Kevin? Your nails are shitty and so are you. Fuck this place. read more
