First visit to the salon and I was surprised to see how clean it was! There was a wide collection of colours, and the nail techs were talented as well. I was impressed with my nails done by Rose, and I highly recommend her if you're coming to visit! read more

Every time I go here it's always disappointing and I give them a chance because I think it'll be better then the last time and Everytime I go it's terrible. Today the lady was very rushed and then when I asked for smaller tips they looked fine at first glance but the tips aren't even all the same size. Honestly I give up on coming here and I'm always so disappointed because they are always rushed and over priced and I am sad about that because they have my favourite colour of tip ): honestly just dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

Terrible. If you enjoy being yelled at and charged extra for everything then go. This is the worst nail salon experience ever. The salon is filthy. They are re-using plastic tub liners after clients. I watched them reuse tools. Walked out with an even worse result than experience! My manicurist barely applied lotion to my legs, and had her head swivelled and involved in another conversation behind her while I should have been getting a relaxing leg massage! The first tub I was about to put my feet in had nails floating in it. My daughter was told off for not having her colour choices ready. I watched 2 other clients being berated for their requests. The icing on the cake was being shamed for my calluses and short nails, as I was told out loud I had bad calluses. Save your money and save yourself from getting fungus which I'm sure I have picked up! read more

BEWARE!!!! I've been going to Starlight for almost 2 years now. I booked an appointment to get a nail fill. I usually go see Kim but she wasn't working so I saw Amy (for the first time ever) first off, she cut me and burned me with the electric file. Today she had her own plans in mind. She claimed she put a new set on. She did not discuss this with me about it (why on earth would she put a new set on when I already have nails on?? ) that seems very odd to me. She didn't do any of the steps that you would do to put a new set on. She filed the old colour and put the new colour on like they normally would do for a fill. So, when I go to pay at the end, she tried to charge me $70!!! Then when I explained to her for what and why, she said because she put on a new set. I never agreed to this. Then she argued with me and telling me I'm wrong. Very unprofessional and flat out robbery! Unfortunately I will never be going back. Kim does an excellent job and in the years that I've been going there, I've never had an issue until today. Amy also forced a mandatory $5 tip on my payment. read more

The customers service here is horrible! The owner is extremely money hungry and doesn't seem to care about her employees or her customers. She keeps taking walk ins when the salon is already super busy putting pressure on her employees to work faster. I made an appointment to get a nail fill yesterday with shellac and they did not allow for enough time for it to completely dry under the uv light. So needless to say, when I got home it was bubbling and peeling. I returned this morning to get it fixed, I showed it to the owner and she just said something in Vietnamese to the girl that had done them. The poor girl was flustered and I made it clear that I did not blame her as I realize it was busy and mistakes happen. Then the owner told her that if I stayed with the same color there would be no charge but if I changed polish color there would be. The polish they used yesterday was old and was coming on very thick, which most likely contributed to that fact that it didn't dry properly in the first place. So I did not want to have the same issue again. I was extremely disappointed how the owner handled the situation and told her so, she really didn't seem to care and just rolled her eyes at me. She eventually did offer to let me change the color but at this point I felt it was too late.. she had already lost me as a customer . I just got the color removed and got clear coat to fix it. I will not return to that salon. read more

Amy and her girls are amazing. I have been going there for many years. Since they were in Riverbend and have never gotten anything but top notch service. I regularly get compliments on my nails and the designs that they do. read more

Don't waste your time. I went with friends who were doing pedis with me before they had their acrylic nails done. I sat soaking in 'almost' warm water for way too long (complained when I asked for a little warmer water because initially it was COLD), the girl kept leaving me to do other things. It was in no way relaxing or professional. When the girl finally finished my half-assed pedi I was rushed out of the building to wait in the car for my other friends who were enjoying what seemed to be more thorough pedis. I later find out that it was the owner who had done mine and I was extremely disappointed that she was leading her staff by this horrible example. I will not be recommending this place nor will I ever darken their doorway again. read more

I had chipped a few nails and had some time to kill so I popped by Starlight Nails & Spa on a Saturday morning. I didn't have an appointment but they took me in even though they were quite busy. They staff were friendly and efficient and their prices are fairly standard too. Recommend! read more

Four of us went in to get our feet done with an appointment but had to wait for someone to attend to us for quite some time. Our feet got soaked real good as now the water is cold. When it came time to pay I had a gift card from when they were located in Riverbend and went to use it and they said they wouldn't except it. I'm furious! They moved to 130th and it is the "same" nail place and a gift card is like cash. I will not be going back. Like someone else wrote on here they're money hungry!! Oh and now that I'm home looking at my feet they totally missed the back of my heal. It's so rough! I will not go back and do not recommend anyone else to go there either. read more

Today I went to Starlight Nails & Spa to get my nails done. I am a person with Williams Syndrome which is a rare genetic disorder so I have developmental delays, and learning challenges but I regularly get my nails done on my own. I had asked the nail technician, Amy to do a fill but she insisted that I should have a full set. In discussion with Amy I agreed to the UV gel, instead of powder. During our discussion, the other nail technician joined the conversation to try to convince me to do the powder. Then they started talking about me in Vietnamese. I may have a disability but I know when people are talking about me. I did not appreciate the way both girls treated me, and the way they talked about me in Vietnamese, right in front of my face. It was very rude. read more

Six of us went here for mani-pedi this past Sunday. It was virtually empty when we got there but picked up while we got pedicures. After my pedi my hands sat in water for a long time while the tech did other clients pedi's. This soak period was the majority of my mani plus some cutical trimming and a very quick coat of polish. No massage no lotion. Hmmm. Thankfully they had hand lotion at the front that all 6 of us proceeded to us as none of us had hand lotion in the mani. The mani pedi looks ok and no one got hurt or infectioned so that's good! Not the worse job, but I expected a tad more. Staff were friendly aside from one bossy one. I'd warn against going when the place is busy as you may leave with very dry hands! Lol read more

The ladies here are always so sweet and accommodating. It is very clean and affordable. I go there regularly and can't imagine going anywhere else!! read more

Called and made an appointment for two pedicures. Took over 30 minutes for someone to start on us! Was not impressed.. almost left multiple times. They said they would be right with us and they never were! Not clean.. nail clippings and dead skin all over the floor. read more

I've heard nothing but great things about this nail salon from my friends so I was really expecting a good experience. I made an appointment for 10am for two full sets and when I came in they said I only booked one set. The lady that was doing my nails told me I had to wear a mask and if i didn't have one I'd have to buy one from them (every other salon I've been to supplied them for you if you didn't have one) luckily I had extra in my purse. The lady doing my nails and told me half way in that they were out of acrylic so I had to pay an extra $20 for something I didn't want. She would ask me about the length after she cut my nails and complained when I told her they were too short. the polish is all over my cuticles and applied poorly and unevenly. They seemed to be in a rush and didn't have time to complete my nails correctly. I'm very dissatisfied. The color selection wasn't as large as some salons but still pretty great. I will not be recommending this place read more

Service is greatly lacking and also depends on technician. A friend and I booked a shellac manicure for same timing. She's in a few minutes later, I'm seen 25mins afterwards. My technician rushed and skipped a couple steps. When I mentioned, she suggested I get it done while in the line-up to pay. I expressed my dissatisfaction to a member that seemed concerned but she was looking to confirmed that I had paid. Twice I was asked if I paid :( read more

Went for a manicure and brought a picture of what I wanted and got nothing like what the picture looked like. I was charged 10 extra for what I wanted to get done and at the end it was nothing like I wanted but sill charged the extra.... Not happy at all. read more

As many say, the customer service here is absolutely terrible. If you make an appointment, they make you wait 30-45 minutes before they can even get you started. Even though it was a bit busier today, I came in as a walk in, and one of the employees started fucking yelling at me and giving me attitude when I asked her about different colours for my nails. This is not proper customer service, as she didn't even let me speak. I was so incredibly upset and angry that I was so ready to get up and leave, but my sister convinced me to stay. Another employee came towards us and said that we have to pick a colour in time, otherwise they can't help us. So I just got up and left. Those bitches don't deserve the money. I've been here once before, and the girl was really nice, but other employees still gave us attitude. I am for sure not returning to this salon ever again. Fire your fucking rude employees. They should not be allowed to help customers with that attitude. read more

Worst place to get nails done. I went and asked for square nails. They are not straight, there is nail polish all over my fingers, the nail polish doesn't even cover my entire nail, under the tips of my nails are unclean and have bits of nail polish, they slant downwards, and the lengths of my nails vary. The lady I had was also very rough, did not pay attention, and couldn't care less if my nails were nice/even. I am very disappointed because the last time I went there my nails were amazing and so well done. This time was the complete opposite. When I went back in after looking at my nails more in my car, they couldn't have cared less about what I thought about my nails and continuously told me that the lady did "such a good job". They said that they would take them off but they would charge me to take them off. They then asked what nails I needed fixed, I said all of them, then they said they would've charged me for it. I am very very unhappy that I spent money on my nails at this place. I will not be going back. I do not recommend this place to anyone. 1 star is even giving them credit. They deserve a 0/5 star rating. read more
