I recently moved to the area and happy that I finally found a consistent gel x nail tech after a bit of trial and error at other salons. Book with Lynn! I've paid between $77-$80. Adding chrome a few times. You can get a fill for a cheaper price, but I like to do something different with a fresh set each month. I've had pedicures here with no complaints and fair pricing.
Great experience! A warm and friendly greeting at the door by the owners led to lots of smiles and laughs. And Yen is here! She's the best! Bright and clean environment. I'll definitely be back!
Absolutely LOVE this place! I went to star nails for the first time this morning and have absolutely found my new nail tech. I don't remember her name, it started with an R. She was so incredibly sweet and listened to what I liked and didn't like. She was much more gentle than others at different salons in the past. Only $45 for an acrylic fill today.
The first time my daughter and I went and we got our nails done with two amazing ladies. We were happy with the design, colors, and service. This is the only place I know around Escondido and San Marcos that provide so many options for charms. my nails are still intact after two weeks with minor chips and lost 1 charm. My daughters lost her nails after two weeks but they were amazing when they were new. We paid $240 for both
My daughter just did her nails tonight there and they did such an amazing job and the service is always on point. The vibe is super chill.
Sadly, 1 is generous. I was hesitant to complain but it was, (and still is) very painful, and my family has encouraged me to do so for possible future guests as well. I probably wouldn't make as big of a deal if it was a Little Nick, but this was one deep cut that really hurt and two or three smaller ones that are also causing issues. Beyond that, take a look at the manicure much of the cuticle that should've been pushed back is still there while she cut live skin. I'm not sure if you can see it but if you zoom in you can see the different layers of paint and also it doesn't go all the way to the nail bed edges. I called the management after three days and told them about the issue, kindly. She said she would talk to her boss and refund my money if I came in. When I came in, she asked if I was the one that called I told her I was and showed her my nails. She said something out loud and several others came and looked and gave me a sorrowful face. I think her and then she told me I will give you $20 because your toes are fine. She then went on to say you will be fine, you will be fine and squirted peroxide on my hands without my permission. I am kind of appalled at the way that this was handled. At this point it's not about the money it's the principal. Hi, of course, will never return. I hope they give some training to the customer service people and also the nice lady who did my nails.
Vincent always does an amazing job Never hurts me (I am very sensitive) Always does a beautiful job Very professional
These were the most reasonably priced nails I have ever gotten. I asked for gel builder on my natural nail, and they executed perfectly the color shape and everything. The inside is nice and calm the doors were open with the breeze coming through. It was a lovely vibe. I believe the gal that I saw her name started with an N but she has the first booth as soon as you walk into the right she's so sweet and very detailed with her work. I live about half an hour away. I just happen to be in the area while I needed a feel but I will definitely be making the drive to go back and see her. That's how good they are
I'm lucky that I found this nail salon. The salon is clean and welcoming. The technician that I usually go to is Tina. She is sweet, knowledgeable and always tries her best to accommodate my schedule.

I called for a full set for myself and a pedicure for my mom and they were able to take us right away. The salon is very clean and everyone there was so friendly. I had my 3 year old and my 1 year old with me and everyone talked to them and made them feel so comfortable. We even got my 3 year old a little manicure. I've had some not so great experiences at other nail salons but i don't have a single negative thing to say about this place. I will definitely be returning. read more

First visit at Star Nails and will be back to give them another try. I believe the tech, initially working on my nails, was named Carly. I came in for dip nails and a pedicure and this is what I liked and what could have been better: Liked: 1. dip removal: -the tech filed enough of the old dip without getting to my nail bed - covered in foil and acetone for long enough time to penetrate -she did NOT use a scraping tool to remove the old dip (the worst, imo). She used cotton and acetone to rub off most of the residue then the gentle tip to smooth (my fave guy in SD removes just like this). 2. the shape of each nail and length matched 3. they actually offer the dip colors! Some places dip a base then use gel polish for the color 3. they didn't use the UV light after dipping powder layers 4. Attention to detail when painting on my French tip 5. She dipped my nails enough to give thickness. Some places do really thin layers and they end up chipping Small improvements: 1. the finishing coat is touching my cuticles/edges on some of my nails and this may cause lifting and my hair getting stuck. Next time I'll pay closer attention to this 2. Received a basic pedicure, but comparing to my fave pedi spot the cuticles could have been cleaned a lot more. The end product is very pretty, but next time I would have picked a base that is not as sheer to get closer to my inspiration picture! I also would have asked for shorter toe nails - they were just filed down a bit. read more

Booked an appointment for Snow online, I get there and they tell me "snows not here, can we have someone else do it?" And I agreed. The other lady whom I did NOT request did a great job however I was extremely agitated when I found out the woman i SCHEDULED with was not there??? Please let your clientele know this before I arrive. The vibe of the place was very welcoming though. read more

Every time I got my nails done here I had an amazing experience, the nails were absolutely the best quality I'd ever had and the girls were really sweet! They're great about texting or messaging on Instagram and are great about answering the phone so their availability is amazing! read more

I had high hopes coming into this salon because it looked really cool and I like trying new places. They got me in right away, which was super nice. They had nice colors to choose from which is always a plus--however I had acrylics and gel put on, literally a couple hours later my middle nail broke. Maybe it was a fluke, I don't know. A couple days later my other hand middle nail broke. Can't say they did a great job or had the best service but--it was not worth the $60. Plenty of other nail shops in the area I'll go to instead. read more

I give this salon two stars. I'm not sure if I've been out of touch with the prices, and how much it costs to get nails painted, but THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I looked at their menu for nails and asked which nails were the ones priced at 35, and the lady (possibly the owner) kept changing the prices regardless of how plain and simple and SHORT the nails that I asked for. There was no design or color, just plain! And it went from 53 to 52 to 50 to 42, okay, well my mom sat down to get her toes nails painted, no gel, just French tip style, simple! Her toes were blank and clean, and they charged 15! I won't be returning with those prices. Besides this! The lady who was doing my nails cut my finger and left me with the most unpleasant set of nails I've ever seen.. they are FAT SQUARE BLOCKS. I had to go home and fix them! I'll post an original picture. read more

Really friendly and excellent service! I wanted acrylics after a long time not having them and they accepted me on a walk in basis for new tips and a pedicure no problem. My manicurist did a beautiful job on the design I wanted! Thank you for my beautiful nails! read more

I have been going here for a little bit. I would make an appointment and get the same girl every time. She would not listen to me when I would ask to make them short. She wanted me to have long nails. I cannot have long nails due to work and I explained to her why and she still wouldn't go shorter. So I would have to actually file my own nails down in between getting them filled because I have to have short nails for work. So I'm overdue to get my nails done and one fell off... this is what was underneath!! Fungus!! They do not use clean, new instruments and I guess this is what you get when they don't clean their things. Needless to say I will not be going back here. read more
