Always fun getting a pedicure! This is the place to visit if your looking for great treatment, like really good foot care, and they are not shy with whatever kind of feet you have! Lol I appreciated how the spa does not have that overwhelming acrylic odor when you walk in, and they tend to you like right away, even without a reservation! Great, great place!! Very satisfied! read more

Star Nails - Feels so good! - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is fantastic - and huge! Prices are reasonable, service very fast and friendly. I found street parking right outside and was impressed to walk in on a Sat afternoon and be sat down in a pedi chair immediately. They were busy but had a lot of staff. There are 10+ chairs for pedicures and about the same for manicures, plus a separate section for waxing. This would be a great place to come with a group of friends wanting to be pampered. My pedicure felt good, looked good, and the staff was so nice. I'll be back. read more

Favorite nail spot in south seattle. They have a huge selection of regular nail polish, shellac and dip.

I'm so annoyed they did gel pedicure on my feet without informing me. I had never had one before so didn't realize it was gel. It caused my toe nails to crack and break pretty badly and were quiet painful and also unsightly. I used to go to this salon with friends once a month in the summers pre-covid and was excited to get back into. I'll not be returning or recommending to others. read more

My nails were $106. Would have helped to know the price up front. The rhinestone application was not consistent, nor what I originally asked for because they changed the original person who was doing my nails. The first person did amazing work. The second person did not appear to understand what I wanted even though I told the original person multiple times and thought it was clear enough by the time they switched. The metallic nail polish was also inconsistent on the second hand. They made mistakes that I noticed. read more

My nails started breaking off after the first week but it's a possibility that they were put on too thin, however when I went in to get them fixed, the owner (male) was happy to fix them and make it right. He was very pleasant to talk to and very kind: I'm happy with how they turned out. He took his time and listened to me. read more

UNEVEN UGLY FRENCH TIP AND SEMI CLEAN NAILS I'm very upset that I paid $107 for work that's not up to my standard to think that I will come to the nail salon and get some type of professionalism is very beyond me when I first that down I said hi the lady did not say hi back to me she was very rough when she was cleaning my toenails at some point she hurt me and I took my feet away she got an attitude and was huffing and puffing at some point somebody else had to do my toes and eventually she came back still with an attitude I give everybody respect I did not snap once at her I stayed silent while she was having an attitude I'm just thrown away by this price they definitely overcharge me ! I can see why they got robbed weeks ago they're going broke and I am very unsatisfied save your money and do not go here!

I had such a incredible experience getting my nails done here at Star Nails! I called in on a weekend and they had availability within the hour. They seem to be in their own little area which was super nice and had different drinks, including Vietnamese hot coffee to drink. Kat and Lola did the most incredible job and I got a full manicure and pedicure. They did multiple treatments and were very sweet, always asking if the pressure or treatment felt well. They took extra time when I had some sensitivities and were really efficient. Kat picked out the cutest sparkly red color for both my nails and toes. The massage chair was really nice too! The manager of this salon has been working in nails for over 30 years, which is really cool. I walked away with a full manicure, pedicure, massage, and a tasty drink! Definitely ask for Kat or Lola when you come here. read more

This is the place to go. Do not let the other reviews fool you. I was having a rough day and I had my nails done by another salon yesterday. I came in today to get them redone here at Star nails because I needed something quick. Needless to say I'm so happy I came here. My nails look GORGEOUS. The attention to detail here is insane and it's so worth it. A little expensive but I would pay for this level of detail and care again read more

Choose to come to this place because i wanted my nails done last minute. The couple, im assuming are the owners were really nice and welcoming. They stayed past closing to make sure my nails were done carefully and the results were really nice! Glad i stopped by here and will be back in the future. $30 for gel manicure read more

This place is amazing! Both the owners do a phenomenal job on a customers nails. You can tell they care about each and every customer's experience. One of the owners did an acrylic fill for me, and meticulously worked to make them look not only beautiful, but symmetrical. I have gotten my nails done here 3 times, and i have yet to have a nail break!! This is my go to salon from now on, and I would recommend anyone who loves nails to come here! read more

Star Nails - Dip Powder Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came here a few times and the only thing keeping me from giving them 0 stars is the quality I got last time. My nails lasted about 3 weeks and I got powder/ombré. A huge problem here is that not everyone is qualified. I believe the man that did my nails was probably the only good "nail tech." He took his time and helped me choose my colors. But another let down is their pricing!! They don't have a price board so they just go from the top of their head and say whatever sounds good enough for customers to pay. He was getting started on my nails and recommended ombré and said it would be $80 since the set for gel that I was getting was already $65. I was so confused on WHY either would cost that much. I could've went to a real nail tech and paid that much for a good set with stones and designs. He said the length, shape?! and type of set I was getting was why it was so high. I was a fool then to let them rip me off. But I don't play anymore! This is hard earned money they just try and bop from people. read more

Went and got my acrylics removed because they were already too long so I stopped by here since its near by. The way the nail tech took them off was probably not the best way at all. he just cut the tips off then slid another fake nail under the acrylic to pry it off. Part of the acrylic was still stuck to my nail so it broke and it hurts a lot!! Plus they charge $12 + $1 if you're using debit/credit, and they remove them in the most painful way ever. I know other places actually take the time and soak them off then shave them down a bit. Now I have a thin nails and a few of them are damaged. It probably would have been better if I had taken them off myself! read more

Star Nails is the Best Seattle has to offer. I have never received such a relaxing pedicure and massage! The pedicure is so nice I could almost fall asleep from the pampering I receive each time I go. The ladies at the salon are always very nice and professional always willing to go the extra mile. While my nails are drying they were nice enough to massage my shoulders, even making my time there more relaxing. These ladies know how to make a fill look brand spanking new like a new set! My eyebrows are always perfect here too. I am new to the Seattle area and this was my first nail shop experience, and my last. Star Nails has a customer for life with me! Thanks Star Nails, see ya in two weeks! read more

My friend and I walked-in for pedis and were pleasantly surprised by this gem. The exterior isn't much to look at with metal bars covering the windows, but once you walk in, the decor and ambiance is lux. The place is spacious with a long row of massage chairs for pedicures. This is the place to go to if you want to get pampered with your gal pals and get your pedis done at the same time while catching up on girl talk. :) Prices are fair, and the nail techs were thorough and paid great attention to detail. My gf got a gel pedi and I got a regular pedi, which lasted a good 6 weeks. My legs and feet were baby soft after the long soak, scrubs, and moisturizing treatment. LOVE this place! read more

I got a fill and it doesn't look all that bad (coming from someone that rarely gets my nails done. Definitely felt like a rushed job compared to when I got them done elsewhere. I also told them that I'd like my nails short but he still remains to keep it longer than I wanted so I had to repeatedly tell him to file it shorter. The service cost me $30. I remember I went here 5-6 years ago and didn't really like the experience either. I had no choice but to go here for a last minute fix as this place closes a little later than most nail salons around Seattle that I've found on Yelp. read more

Let's keep it real: 1. Location is definitely sketchy i.e. bring your valuables with you or put them in the trunk of your car. You MUST check to see if you locked your car doors twice. This is Rainier Beach we're talking about here. 2. The nail salon is SPACIOUS and lovely inside! When I came in today, I did not have to wait - 1 star. 3. Staff seemed nice and friendly - 1 star. 4. The woman who worked on my nails took off my old shellac color without any problem and in the end, I was charged a very decent price for this - another star. Okay, we're at 3 stars total here lol. Not bad right? WRONG. KEEP READING. 5. After she clipped my nails and buffed them, she tossed everything onto the floor... I really hope they sweep well... 6. My friend who was also getting a shellac manicure at the same time received a back massage and I didn't. To be fair though, I'm not very fond of strangers touching my back anyways. Service is not consistent. 7. OMFG. LOOK AT THE PHOTO. I have had shellac manicures before and this is awful. HECK, I COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB! I mentioned my concerns to the woman who worked on my nails and she dismissed them. MINUS 2 stars and red flag! 8. My nails look worse in the sunlight and they are different lengths too. I called the salon and plan on returning tomorrow. Based on previous reviews from dissatisfied customers on here, I am not too optimistic about a refund or redo. However, I'd love to see them argue with me about my manicure. If they do, they need to get their eyes checked. This nail salon has a lot of promise. Sadly, it just did not deliver today. ----------------------------------------------- Update: I went back to the salon the next day and they were happy to re-do my nails for me. If you come here, ask for Lola! She did a EXCELLENT job! I left the salon very happy. read more

Sooooo Nice Go in once a month in the Spring and Summer. Don't use the massage chair because I'm a massage therapist and choose to get a real massage. But....... their pedicures are fantastic! Don't get a manicure because I have to keep my nails real short - otherwise I'd get a gel. Going back today to get my wonderful pedicure! read more

Great place! Came in around noon on a Saturday and they were able to take me immediately. I wanted coffin nails with pink gel and the guy who did my nails shaped them perfectly and did a really nice job all around. I do think the tables could be a little cleaner, maybe lay down a towel so I don't need to see the filings and dust from previous customers. Overall, I found it a little pricey at $47 for my full set. The nails were worth it but at that price I would expect the setting to be a little cleaner and maybe a hand massage or something. I'd definitely come here again! The nails are great and the people are very sweet. read more

Star Nails - Nice combination ! Love it so much. - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

LEFT IN TEARS TODAY -- Okay, before I begin, let me preface by saying that I'm a local and have been going to Star Nails for years now. I remember the first time I went and how pleasantly surprised I was when I walked into their building. Their service was great and everyone was friendly. The pricing was reasonable and their finished jobs were outstanding. As you can see, I'm talking in past tense. Over the years, I'm seeing all of those factors declining. Their services seemed to be shorter or not consistent based on who was working on you. The pricing seemed to change every time I went, and the extra charges were outrageous. $5 to take shellac off, $10 for an extra coat of shellac, $5 for this... Their pricing list didn't change but they charged you for everything. All in all, the worse thing was the services got worse. I went from having great nails to shitty ones that broke after a week. I use to always get the deluxe pedicure and a shellac manicure. I noticed that my nails were getting weaker and broke more often with the shellac. When I asked for more coats so they would be a little sturdier, they argued with me and then told me it would be extra. I did stop coming for a while but I've had trouble finding another place that is nearby. So I started to come back again, even though I left a little disappointed each time, because it was right down the street from my house and it was all about convenience. Well, today I went in and got a deluxe pedicure with someone I've never had seen before. I honestly thing it's the same girl who other reviewers mention about the new person who doesn't know what she is doing. Well this person, she doesn't know what is doing. I had shellac on my toenails prior to coming, and after telling me it would be $5 to remove it, she proceed to drill my nail color done completely THE ENTIRE TIME. She didn't use acetone and foil and let it sit like you normally do when you get shellac taken off... she used the drill THE ENTIRE TIME. At one point I started to wence because my toenails start to hurt. Under further inspection and soreness, I noticed a lot of pink streaks on my toenails, one in particular. She had drilled my nail down so far that is like drilled my actual nail off. Painful is an understatement. She then cleaned my nails and it was very painful because of my new sores on my nail beds. We got to the clipping my nails and she literally cut the corners off of all my nails so now they stick out weird and are more triangle shaped. Trust me, I was telling myself the entire time to tell her to stop but it got too far and I FIGURED she knew what she was doing... what a concept. On top of everything else, she didn't even file them so they are all jagged and mis-shaped if you compare them. I'm praying that I don't get ingrown nails after this when they grow back. The painting of the nails was shitty. She didn't do a good job, I'm not going into any more detail. They were horrible. I left, a little upset because of how much I paid and how bad my feet felt/looked. Well I carried on with my day to notice that my nail polish never seemed to look dry. I realized about 4 hours later that the polish was completely wet and it basically smeared off. She didn't clean my nails off before painting them so the wax/lotion was on my toes, making the polish un-dryable. Awesome. At this point, I was just really mad. I decided to just go back there tonight and get them fixed. They have fixed my nails before for free if something happens with them within the first week or so. They know me there because I've been going for years. Well, I figured I would just walk in and be able to get them fixed. Nope. Basically the owner told me that I had to pay for them to be re-done in shellac, because it's shellac. Even though I was literally there 4 hours before and it wasn't even my mistake with the paint job. I argued with him a little and he finally walked off, they fixed my nails quickly and then figuring we were good, basically held out his hand for another $15 dollars. I argued and tried to get them to be reasonable but nothing would translate for him. So now I'm out $75 (including a tip) with very sore, torn to the nail bed, and janky toenails. I'm not trying to bash them at all, just sharing what happened to me. I'm very upset clearly because of the amount I spent and the trouble I went through. But I think the worst part is how I was treated, especially for being someone who comes often and also brings my family and friends. I will never go there again, convenience or not. It's the principle and it's called customer service. If you've made it this far, I hope you consider this before going as well. A trip to the nail salon should be relaxing and well earned (it's YOUR MONEY which you work hard for), not leaving in tears of frustration and cuts and sores. I hope this review reaches someone because you should really save your money. read more
