I had to go back due to some nail damage, and they fixed it on the spot. Full set of new nails. I had never had my nails done, me and the hubby had a wonderful time. They have massage chairs that actually massage the back, we had fun. It was our first pedicure too, and we're going back. Hubby has diabetes, so his feet need extra care. They did wonderfully, and were very gentle with both of us. I would highly recommend this place, I'm going back again for October coffin nails! Thank you! read more

Honestly.. I knew from the first 10 minutes this wasn't gonna turn out at all how I wanted. For some reason a lot of people struggle with "claw" or "stiletto" nails. Ok fine.. but please for the love of god what is this not to mention less than a week later my thumb wasn't cured properly so it's literally peeling up do yourself a favor and don't get nails in Salem. Also the guy who did my nails kept catching the electric file on my skin around my nail I'm not super confrontational and have social anxiety so I'm just proud I made it to the car before I cried. Wasted money this close to Christmas. Unfortunate, don't make the same mistake. read more

Have gone to Star Nails for years. Went about 6 weeks ago and this is what my nails looked like after they were done. Will not return ever! read more

The shop looks pretty upscale, nice pedicure stations with beautifully tiled soaking tubs and newer massage chairs, but the fumes were almost overwhelming. Better ventilation would be a plus. The pedicure was substandard, and the polishing left a lot to improve upon. The technician, though very pleasant, over-polished my nails with several coats applied too quickly one after the other so they didn't dry adequately, and even after waiting almost an hour for them to dry, they smudged as soon as I went outside. I came back and showed her what had happened, so she repolished it exactly the same way. Sure enough, like tacky uncured glue they smudged again even before I got home. For $40+ the treat I wanted to give myself was pretty disappointing. I won't be back. read more

Star Nails - Not the prettiest pedicure for $45! - Nail Salons Near Me - Salem, Oregon

This place is amazing. Very friendly staff and they do such great work. I have called many times and they have been able to get me in right away or within the next couple of days. Hagan and David are my go to nail techs, but the ladies are great too. The prices aren't bad either. Very reasonable. read more

CUTTING CORNERS. I've been going to Star Nails for about 6 months. First time, the technician was cold to me, to the point where I had to ask if I did something wrong (guess she is a quiet one). Then I found David, who I really liked. But at the beginning of the year, prices went up (I understand that) & service has gone down. The last two times, no moisturizer or cuticle trim (unless done by the drill). Twice there have been obvious bubbles in my nails. This last time I found a bubble after I got in my car so returned & David fixed it by buffing it out & applying a glossy top coat (which he did to all nails last time but not this time) - so now I've got 1 glossy pointer finger & the others have a dull shine. Oh, and the $45+$10 tip took him 35 minutes. So, to me, they have raised prices, cut corners, & provide less service, so I won't be returning. However, I'm sure there are a lot of salons out there that are doing the same thing. Sad. read more

Do not go in with any design or expectations. Solid colors only and if it's an emergency. I was a fool and went in with a design in mind and provided an inspiration photo. The one with the sunflower was the inspiration, the other is the result. They advertise "ombré" but I don't think they know what that is or how to properly do it. Let's not even touch on the "sunflower" but at least she realized it was awful and didn't charge me for it. read more

Star Nails - $80 for this.. - Nail Salons Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Well I got there 5 mins early and picked out my color. I haven't had my nails done in a while. I got shellac and I love it. A guy did my nails and he was really nice. He was helpful and into detail on my nails. He asked if my nails were too long or if they looked good. I enjoyed myself until I had a gift certificate and he charged me for the whole price and didn't remember I had a 40 dollar gift certificate from Christmas. They tried to give me Back my money but the manager said he was backed up so he can't do it. It was upsetting. read more

Horrible! I made an appointment. Said it was for me and my daughter as a fun mom and daughter time. When we got there, they sat her four rows away, with my back to her and she was right next to the propped open door. I couldn't even see her the entire time. When I turned to check (while my nails were in the solution soaking, not during painting or filing) the lady told me to sit still! Then the paint job was HORRIBLE! All over my cuticles and I paid extra for the shellac so it stayed on my cuticles!! I finally took it off three days later because it looked so embarrassing! Don't go! Don't do it!! Go somewhere else!!! read more

Let me start this by saying that I've been here a handful of times and have had a decent experience but, my appointment from today has left me cringing. My nail tech had hands with a fraying bandaid, nail polish from previous appointments, dirt under the nails, peeling skin and extremely dry flaky hands. I was grateful that the nail tech slipped on a glove to rub lotion on before my polish went on. So many different protocols where not followed (I.E. using the techs fingers to rub the acetone onto my nails to clean before polish application). The manicure I received was one of the worst I have ever gotten and I will not return. read more

Ugh! I went in for a pedicure with my sisters. I had one toenail that had been torn a couple weeks ago from another salon who tore off my gel polish. I explained to the nail tech what happened and that part of my toe was still sore and to please be careful. She acknowledged and then began tearing off the gel polis Then when paying I was charged an extra $4. Not that $4 is going to break me, but to be charged extra for not even properly removing my polish is infuriating. read more

I moved to Salem from Beaverton and have been trying to find a new nail salon in Salem. I was patronizing a neighboring business last Satand walked in to inquire about services. A woman was with a client, but gave me a business card and suggested I call for more information. I just did so and I was treated so poorly, I can barely believe it. I asked about various services and pricing, and the man who answered said they are too busy and I wcould not get an appointment for over a week- we hadn't discussed any particular type of service other than a fill. He suggested I go elsewhere-and I will. This was totally uncalled for. read more

10/10 recommend star nails to everyone in Salem. I was skeptical because I saw so many mean reviews but I tried them out anyways because their location. I went in and they went above and beyond to get you exactly what you want. I've been going to them for about 2 months now and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I've gotten with Paula, David and 2 other wonderful ladies there and all of them deserve 5 stars. read more

I went to Star Nails for my first time on Saturday and my experience was amazing! I have tried a few different nail salons in Salem and haven't had great experiences but I loved everything here! They listened to what I wanted, were on time and very kind. The lady who did my full acrylic set (I can't remember her name) paid the most attention I've ever had to the sizing of the nails and quality of the acrylic set being straight and same sized. She also did amazing with the shellac polish leaving none on my cuticle at all. She really did an amazing job! I am an extremely happy customer and will be coming back again! read more

Seriously the worst pedicure of my life. From the start to finish it took 18 minutes (that's including the 5 minutes I waited with my feet soaking). If there was a no star option, I'd choose it but unfortunately I had to give them one. I feel like I'm not very picky either when it comes to a pedicure but damn, at least act like you want some business. My feet look/feel terrible and it was only hours ago I got this. I just think $30 for an 18 minute pedicure it terrible and they should be ashamed. read more

I NEVER take the time to leave a bad review but this place is not great compared to others close by. I am never super happy when I leave there. They don't listen to what you want. Go to Sunny Nails instead but make sure that you have an appointment though. read more

Annie gets 5 stars for sure because she does an amazing job on my toe nails. I have difficult nails to keep up because they curve on the sides and if you don't cut them properly I have terrible pain. But I was only able to give them 4 stars because the salon as a whole should be much cleaner. I love everyone that works here and have been coming here forever but it needs to be professionally deep cleaned at least once per month. Paula, please don't be angry if you read this. I am giving this as constructive review info for my clients and friends. I will revise when it gets done. I love you. read more

I went and got a pedicure and shellac manicure. I asked for a design on my toes and she looked confused. She did one and it wasn't bad but then did the topcoat too soon and smudged it. She noticed but didn't bother to fix it. I asked for it to be fixed and she put another topcoat on and said it was fixed. My shellac manicure turned out beautiful but while the tech was doing my cuticles she stopped and used them on herself and then went back to my nails! Disgusting! I will never be returning here. It was expensive, especially for what I got. Also the girls didn't talk to me at all. read more

Star Nails - This is after she "fixed" my toe that she ruined! Horrible job!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I'm not sure why this salon only has 3 stars because it's GREAT! They made time for my friend and I to walk in before closing for a gel manicure and an acrylic set and Jennifer was sooooo precise with my acrylics! She took her time, made sure every detail was exact, and cleaned up even when she got a tiny bit of polish on my skin. Best of all, the whole set was only $30!!!! With a fill only being $20, I will definitely be going back, as this is my new favorite salon. It's a 5 star for me! read more

I used to be a regular customer for several years, went back after a year of not wearing false nails. I was overcharged, told that OPI nail polish was five dollars more than regular nail polish, And pressured to put shellac polish on acrylic nails just for the upsell. Sad to say after many years I will not be returning again read more

I decided to try a new nail salon and was super disappointed. I got a full set of acrylics and I won't be coming back. I've gotten my nails done for three years so I know the usual process, but the nails were never fully filed. The powered and gel coats make my nails too think and clumpy. I wasn't asked anything during the process and when I tried to ask they insisted everything was fine. It's not terrible but it's definitely not something I want again read more

The pedi was nice but I asked for neutral colors on stiletto nails and ended up with bright glittery almond nails.

Star Nails - Just FLAWLESS. I am so happy, thank you Star Nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I really don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but I went here to get acrylic nails and they turned out very badly. They were extremely thick, clumpy, and I had to have a friend reshape them a couple hours later because they were uneven! The only reason I'm giving any stars is because a very nice lady who worked there let me stay twenty minutes after they had closed so my nails could dry. I recommend Queen Nails to anyone wanting acrylics. read more

Made an appointment and sat for half an hour until they sat me. It was not overly busy as I was the only one in waiting area. I asked for a simple gel polish, but was charged about $30 for what I believe was a gel polish with manicure . I did not receive a "manicure". I asked about the high price and they said that was "what they charged". I just paid and left . I won't be going back due to the wait I had to endure (I had a scheduled appointment ) and the high cost. Manicure didn't last either. read more

I just dropped in, because I was in Salem and had an hour to kill. I had a pedicure. Got charged 5.00 extra for nail polish I picked. Tech cut my skin next to my toe. Now infected and taking antibiotics. Don't waste your money. read more

Worst place I've ever gone!! Tried this place because I've heard good things and were they wrong. My nails never chip and never lift. I've had this fill for maybe a little over a week and two of my nails are already lifting. My nails also started chipping two days after I got them done! More than half of my nails are chipped as well, $45 for a shellac fill and they can't even last two weeks! Save your money and go somewhere else read more

So rude telling my 13teen year old sister saying you're not 13teen your to big to be a 13teen I'm never going back there again !!!!!

Went to get a pedicure with my sister. The man who helped me left me sitting with my feet soaking for so long that the water went cold. He proceeded to cut the skin around my nail and I was bleeding for the rest of my visit. When he did it he tried blaming me for having dry skin or a hang nail. When we left my sister told me that my mom and her have been cut EVERY TIME he does their nails. It's so bad my mom hasn't gone back. Honestly, I'm not planning on going back either. I don't want to risk my toenail getting infected. read more
