I have always received wonderful service here! Everyone is always so friendly and the owner always makes sure you are served promptly. If you call to make an appointment and they happen to be busy, they always call back quickly. I go to Cris for manicures and he is an amazing, freehand nail artist! Always nails it (pun intended), even I don't have a design in mind myself. He remembers what you like and don't like, and I really appreciate that! I go to Tina for pedicures, and she is fast but takes good care of you! Cindy and Sophie are also wonderful! Again, everyone here is very sweet, and it's always fun to chat with all the nail techs while they work. Regulars are always welcomed by name and they give you a small complimentary bottle of water. I love the overall vibe and the salon itself is so cute! Highly recommend this salon. Thank you Cris for being the best! :) read more

I went to Star Nails for the first time. I selected the second pedicure option with gel and a reg manicure. It had what I needed at a price I would pay. My friend chose the third pedicure option and gel nails nail polish to match her feet. After it was all done I found out I had the 3rd option not what I selected -at a higher cost than I anticipated. They left my price at the one I selected which was fair. I will caution you - be clear about what you want - I suggest Star give a written menu and you select your choice in writing - to save any uncomfortable miscommunication. This can potentially lose clients. I did feel like I was unknowingly upsold. All said they did such a nice job and everyone that helped us was very nice. They did an excellent pedicure/manicure. Took their time. My friend looked beautiful she had gel nail polish and gel toenail polish! II will say everything was done without feeling hurried and I would recommend them. Plan on spending about $200 for two. read more

Last week on Saturday 1/17 I went to get my nails done. I wanted a pedicure and a mani with builder gel, everything was fine until Friday 1/23 all of my nails had a weird spot underneath and by the end of the day all of them had fallen out, I only have 3 on my left hand that actually stayed. Not sure what they did or if they did it wrong or a bad job. I paid a lot for them too but I won't be going back again. read more

When I moved from WA to SD, I was really hoping to find a good and professional person nearby for my mani, pedi, and waxing and I'm so happy I did! Amy did an amazing job cleaning and relaxing my feet, and Cindy was incredible with my waxing and manicure. I'm so impressed and loved the easy, great personal care I received from them. Now I know exactly where to go back! read more

Bummer I thought I would splurge And get a mani/pedi. Normally I do my own nails ( I'm a hair stylist) or go to top star nails in Tierrsanta. It's been over a yr. Since I moved so I wanted a nail place close to my new home. Pedicure ( Sophie) super rushed and just a bad pedicure. I could have polished better my self. ( so sad) My manicure (Lily) she was professional and did a good manicure. We pay a lot more this days for nails so I feel we should have an enjoyable experience ( not a 15min pedicure) If you do go her research who's good like I should have. I won't return bummer!! read more

This is quite literally the worst manicure and pedicure i have ever gotten. My nails are lumpy AND bubbly. The lady kept messing up and redoing it with a towel which left hairs in my nails. On top of that she filed my skin. When she was cutting my cuticles she managed to puncture my skin and make me bleed. This entire process took 2 1/2 hours. She got paint all over my hands which I had to get off myself. I still paid, and she had the audacity to ask for tip. read more

I tried this place as a new place from my normal spot. I got a full set. With get and also paid to have my cuticle removed. Two days later my nail were lifting. The prices were great. But I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Cris was amazing!! I showed him an inspo pic for my nails and he said "why not!". He was so funny and did my nails so quick! He freehanded the designs and it turned out so good! I love it! read more

Super clean salon and the staff was really friendly and welcoming. My nails turned out perfect.

The service was 10/10. They helped me within seconds of me walking through the door. The person who did my pedicure was so sweet and did such a great job as it has been 7 months since I've gotten a pedicure. I was in town visiting for a bachelorette party but if I lived closer I would 1000% make this my go to place. read more

I got the deluxe pedicure here. Amanda was amazing and able to get me and my friend in right away. The salt scrub was fantastic and I felt the price was very fair compared to other salons. Inside they have an amazing wave wall decor. My polish looks great and the nail shape was perfect. My friend also got the deluxe pedicure by Michael and he did a Halloween themed toe with spider webs. It was the most perfect artwork we have seen! Great experience overall. Near Starbucks too. read more

We came here because our usual nail place changed ownership and it was time to move on. My daughter, mom and myself walked in and to our surprise they were able to get us in right away.

I am impressed and will come back! read more

I would actually rate my experience zero stars. I came i. For a walk in at opening time and was told by the two lady's that were there to sit at seat one and wait. No problem there. I was waiting for Sophia" . WhenSophia showed up she promptly started filig my nails. I was trying to show her what Style of nail I wanted . Before I could do that she was already gluing tips on that I did not ask for. I tried to explain and show her on my phone my lil nail insporation as she explained what she was doing was what I was wanting. It clearly was not. She seemed frustrated and dismissed me getting up from her chair. I said go ahead with the girl that came in after me and was sitting next to me. She left and went right over to her. I thought she might prep her nails and come back but she never did . The Next tech came I. And sat in front of me. I said I would wait again for Sophia . I was told not she had other appts.i gave already waited about 40 min by this time. So go ahead with Kate " now. Again im trying to show her exactly what I wanted and huffing and puffing she again is gluing on some stiletto tips i did not want. I tried to explain the length I wanted as she Already cut my nail tips short! She rolls her eyes gets up and starts speaking another language obviously irritated! She does not come back for a few min. Enough time fkr me to be completely embarrassed and wondering what I did wrong. I politely go up a and dismissed myself. Never have I been treated to badly at any establishment. I am literally in tears. Completely embarrassed. I will never go here again and they are very rude. read more

Star Nails is a fun and quirky nail salon because it has ocean animal all over the walls! They have a large selection of dip nail polish, which is amazing because I feel like a lot of nail salons don't have a ton of dip colors! I made an appointment for 10 on a Thursday morning and this place was packed!! They got to my nails pretty quickly, but it took a while for my pedicure. I wish nail salons would spread their appointments out more or not take as many walk-ins, but honestly, this has been the case at every nail salon I've ever visited. Plus, I'm glad to see businesses doing well after COVID, so while it took longer than I wanted, I was waiting for a good reason. They did a very careful job on my nails, which I appreciate! I hate when I pay the extra money for gel or dip and they do a rushed job. My nail technician was working quickly, but carefully as well. Also, Star Nails is conveniently located next to Crumbl and Starbucks so you can even extend your self care by getting a little snack. read more

Horrible customer service. The worst manicure I've ever had, very unsanitary. And when I wasn't happy with my service and said they didn't do proper manicure procedure according to state board they told me " you don't know what your talking about ". ( they ripped off my acrylics with another acrylic nail tip instead of a soak off ) They destroyed my nails and I had to go someplace else to fix them read more

I do not even know where to start. I guess with them disinfecting the spa chairs with windex. Next with, she tried to finish my manicure with the water my feet had been soaking in. The nail tech that did my nails was texting someone between EVERY SINGLE NAIL. And when she was finished she was surprised to see that I was unsatisfied. I had Gel on my cuticles but missing on some of my nails. Save yourself the trip. And go to Sunny's nails in Santee . Or Luxor in Kearny mesa. read more

This place was recommended to me by a neighbour in the middle of the pandemic. The ladies (and gents) are really accommodating and they do good, consistent work. My go-to is Amanda for her nail art. She's done other great stuff for me but I wasn't able to photograph. Here's what I had done recently -gel with some glittery bananas and chrome. read more

Star Nails is one of the most consistent Nail Salons I've been to in Santee. I usually make an appointment- but what I appreciate it that they always take me on time. There are a few other places I've been to that make you wait for a looooong time. Not at Star Nails. I go to Sophie for fills and pedicures. She is very detail oriented and friendly. I've been to other technicians throughout the years, and they are all great. Tons of colors to choose from. Great operating hours. Friendly, punctual staff. Clean. Great prices. Def my go to place! read more

I only get a manicure 1x a year, and decided to try this place. I was able to book the exact time, day & services I wanted via their online system and got an immediate confirmation via text. The staff was very nice, and Cindy (who did my eyebrows and mani), was beyond professional and friendly. I liked that she asked me to pay before the nails got started, as this meant I would have less chance of ruining the nails later on. Overall, I was happy with my experience there! read more

Can't stop looking at my nails after I got them did by Sophie. She was very professional and lovely. Sophie makes sure my nails look perfect and clean after any steps. It is so pretty. I love it so much.!!! Also, the receptionist, Linh, was so helpful and nice. He helped me pick out the colors and always asked me if I need anything else. 10/10 for customer service!!! Highly recommended this place!!! read more
