Emma P.

I absolutely love Starry Nail! They are so incredibly kind, they offer a wide range of services and pricing so there is something for everyone. It's really easy to get in and get your service and it's a relaxing and calm environment. It's my favorite place to come!

Dead Skin after a very expensive Mani.
Adjanie T.

Never again.... This is my third time in this place. The first time they did a Great Manicure and the second time a great pedicure. Because of those good experiences I made an appointment for mani and pedí again. I went in for the appointment and they started right away, which is good. I told the lady that I wanted a callus mask, she gave me the menu for pedicures. I choose one and she started to do the pedicure. Tina, was doing a good job until she unplugged the chair. First if I am paying for a very expensive job, I want to use the massage chair for the whole time I am seating in the chair. The lady unplugged the chair when I started the massage the second time. She stated it was because of the UV/LED machine (weird because they didn't do that to the lady that was seating next to me) well it that moment I knew that the extremely expensive service was not worth it. After she unplugged the chair, I spend 30 more minutes seated in that chair. I guess that they charge extra for the chair even if you are getting a service that requires to be seating in that chair. Yeap, Incredible ! In nowhere in the menu or the Salon, anywhere! says that you can only use the pedicure chair for 20 minutes, even if your service is for 50 minutes. After she finished with the pedicure ( it was good, that is why the 2 stars) we go to the nails table. She didn't have almost any instruments and they were not sanitized. She started doing the most sloppy terrible Manicure that someone have done in anyone's life ! I can't even believe that I paid almost 50 for this awful Manicure. The "Manicurist" didn't know that the nails needs to be clean! she needs to remove all the dead skin and clean everything around the nail. When I saw she was not doing her job I specifically told her to please clean the dead skin that was visible from 10 blocks down. She laugh and said yes yes, but she didn't do it ! If I wanted to only paint my nails, I would it done that at my house! Not paying a 50-dollar Manicure that now I need to go tomorrow and fix it! to another place ofc! In my entire life someone haven't done to me a so poor job. I paid $123 for both services. It was more expensive but because I was going to pay cash, they gave me a 10% off . I gave her 5 dollars for tip, in my mind I wanted to give her 0 dollars for the awful job. When she saw that it was only 5 dollars, she looks at me like that was not enough tip and when I was leaving, she screamed to all her co-workers that I only gave her 5 dollars for all the work she did. She was showing the invoice and the 5-dollar bill to everyone at the salon, co-workers and clients. Tina, let me tell you that you don't know how to do a simple Manicure and please learn some manners. Unbelievable that this place is charging so much for a Manicure that my 5-year niece can do much better. Don't waste your time here !

Gel Nails French Manicure
Gina D.

I am literally in the middle of my mani-pedi and Zuri is being so careful with my feet. This experience is exactly what I needed. I will update when it is done. I am getting a mani-pedi with French manicure gel nails. Update: She moved quickly but I wasn't rushed. My pedicure was on point and I got French manicure gel nails. It cost $85, which is pretty average for that service and my nails look great in my opinion. You can look at the pic taken 48 hours later and decide. I would go back. Two things l liked: she asked me if my white stripe was to thin or thick. I said it was too thick but she can leave it and make it thinner moving forward. I am low maintenance. She redid the nail anyway. Also, she gave me a nice massage when she was done with my nails. Bottom Line: I would go back. Update 2: It is Friday and the bank teller complimented me on my nails. It still looks like I just got them done.

Wack ass paint job

I'm giving three stars because the woman who did my nails was very sweet but I could've done a better job at home on my own. First, she started clipping and filing and picking at my feet while they were still dry, not even soaked in water yet. That was uncomfortable. I got some sort of extra hydration pedicure and my feet still feel as dry as before I went in. She was a bit aggressive with the heel file as well. The atmosphere isn't relaxing it's like a factory. But the worst of it is how my pedicure turned out. I had a chip in my toenail that she chose to just paint on the skin instead of filing down , even if it was low, it looks terrible. (And I had to ask about it she wasn't going to mention it) nails are filed crooked and the paint job looks like my five year old cousin did it. The last time I came here was for a manicure many years ago and they buffed my nails so thin they were like paper, and vowed to never go back but thought after many years they had gotten better...not the case. Won't be going back to them again or recommending them.

Extremely overfilled nail now stuck to my skin with dip powder

My first red flag should've been the sign that said "$5 off for posting a review" as all the good reviews must be from that. The gel remover began BURNING my nails, which I have never experienced anywhere else and I quickly asked her to rThen when filing my nails she made the one corner so short she was filing my skin when I became concerned and she quickly tried to put dip powder ON MY SKIN to hide her mistake. I am still trying to remove the dip powder from my skin to prevent infection. Oh and I got home and noticed a hair in the polish. I should've left sooner but I get my nails elsewhere often and never expected such an experience. *Edit* I don't know the woman's name, older Asian woman helped me. Pedicure was fine I should add, and yes regular gel manicure. I had an appointment today 8/24 at 6 pm.

Every single nail is lifting in the back after 2 weeks. My right nail completely broke, and now I'll have to get ANOTHER tip I'll be overcharged for. This nail salon is TRASH and 110% OVERPRICED. I was an idiot to pay $75 and even tip her. I'd ask for a refund, but at this point- I don't ever want to go back. Horrible experience and incredibly poorly trained nail techs. Avoid this place if possible.

Acrylic fill
Lizzy W.

First visit today and everything was such a pleasant surprise! Service: My tech Andy did an amazing job, I'm super satisfied with the results! I can tell my nails are sturdy and the polish job is great. Cleanliness: I was offered hand sanitizer and had my nails done in an isolated back room so I felt super safe. Tech was wearing mask + face shield and the station had a plastic guard up. I was happy to see everything being routinely sanitized. Price: $40 for acrylic tip cut + fill with normal polish + glitter. They also offer a rewards program which I signed up for since I'll definitely be back again!

Powder gel with design + CC fee  $63  Not worth it.
Samantha S.

I've worked around the corner from this place for nearly a decade and have now tried it on 3 occasions. And I will definitely write this one off for the future. They are on the more expensive side which I wouldn't mind if I was fully satisfied!!!! I never mind paying if something is worth it. The technician who did my nails was visibly annoyed that my last dip powder set was "too thick" bc it took her some time to take it off. She was very rough and painful and I had to tell her to ease up twice. I showed her a specific design and she said no problem, I can do 3 flowers not exactly like the photo (which was fine bc my nails were shorter than the pics) but when it came down to it a male technician took over and he did one flower. And it looks like I could have done it myself. They initially wanted to charge $10 for the design! I told them $5 was the max. They also could have done another coat of powder. What do you guys think? Only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is bc at least they were clean. Also giving an update that they all crumbled in less than a week. I've worked hard to keep my nails strong and long and they all had to get cut. I agree that $10 for a design on gel is a good price .... if it wasn't 6 dots to make a flower. Come on.

left hand powder refill and gel polish
Audra H.

Update: I returned to Starry nail spa yesterday and was helped immediately. They were super busy but still took the time to repair my nail and explained to me the potential reasons for this happening. I really appreciated their attentiveness throughout the process. I'll definitely be returning the next time I need to get my nails done!

Polish peeled off after less than 48 hours
M W.

The actual worst gel manicure I have ever had. I'll give the salon credit that it was clean and they saw me right away. The yellow gel color I picked was watery and needed 3 coats, which sometimes happens with bright colors. However, it still looked streaky and sloppy. I was ready just to give up and move on. But! My middle nail was actually bubbling. I pointed this out to the nail tech, and she seemed annoyed, grabbed my finger and FILED all the polish off to the point that it started to hurt and my actual nail is now thin as paper. She repainted it- very sloppily- and sent me on my way. That was Friday night. Cue to now- Sunday morning- and the polish just peeled almost completely off as I was putting away laundry. Now I have a super thin chipped nail $45 dollars and a day and a half later. This is absolutely the worst quality gel manicure I have ever received.

I got fench gel manicure and gel pedicure. The service was nice. But the finishing was not quite there. Also when I got back home, I already saw some edge was falling off...

So when I looked up waxing services on Yelp and noticed that Uni K was nearby, with great reviews and online booking I was locked in! First of all, it was so happy to see that they had some same day appointment availability! Why that may not always be the case, some booking systems will still only show starting next day. I also loved that their menu had a lot of options, including more than one type of Brazilian to book. When I showed up to my appointment, I checked in and filled out some basic, new client information. I was then taken to my room with my waxer promptly after. They use hard wax here which many people prefer, but for me hurts the most. But I don't really care what is used as long as they're hygienic, quick, effective and will not spawn in-grown hairs. My waxer was quick, thorough and one week out...things are still looking good! As a bonus, first time clients got a significant discount which made me even happier about my experience. While my experience before check out was already excellent, that was just icing on the cake. Overall, I left very impressed and will definitely return again in the future!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and honestly upsetting experience. My little sister ran to her appointment…read moreand arrived flushed and a little sweaty, and the technician -- I believe her name was B -- proceeded to wax half the area before suddenly stopping and telling her that she was "too sweaty" to continue and that she would need to wait 40 MINS + an additional hour if the next client showed up. For context, my sister has been getting waxed regularly for over eight years. She is athletic, healthy, and this has never happened to her before. She was not dripping in sweat or experiencing anything extreme -- she had simply rushed to make the appointment and was flushed. None of that should even matter in terms of how respectfully a client is treated, but it made the reaction feel even more disproportionate. The technician told her she would need to wait 40 minutes or longer before they could continue, in part because another client was coming in. That is where this started to feel less like a legitimate waxing concern and more like a scheduling issue that my sister was being blamed for. I could completely understand saying, "Let's give you a few minutes to cool down so the wax adheres better." But stopping halfway through a service and telling someone to wait 40+ minutes is a very different situation. I have also been getting waxed for around 10 years, including throughout hot and humid New York summers, and I have never experienced or even heard of someone being treated this way simply for being a little sweaty. Beyond the explanation making very little sense, telling a client she is "too sweaty" in that manner is incredibly rude and inappropriate. There are professional, discreet ways to address moisture without making someone feel embarrassed or ashamed of their body. The fact that half the service had already been completed before this suddenly became an issue also made me seriously question the technician's judgment and experience. If it was genuinely unsafe to wax her, why was the service started in the first place? This is also a waxing salon with fans and powder available to help keep the skin dry. What made the situation even worse was what happened afterward. My sister called me on FaceTime while she was there and was literally in tears trying to advocate for herself and explain that the situation had made her uncomfortable. When my other younger sister later called the salon for more information, the woman at the front desk described my sister as "aggressive" and said she had made the staff uncomfortable. Well let me tell you, I'm the oldest sister and our youngest sister doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. It made me so sad to see her shakily defending herself. She was upset, embarrassed, and trying to stand up for herself while crying -- not behaving aggressively. All the receptionist had to do was apologize! Getting defensive with emotional clients is never the answer. If you are the owner please review the call as they are all recorded. My sister also told me that after the waxing specialist left the room, she overheard waxers giggling nearby. I cannot say whether they were laughing about her, and I won't pretend to know that. But in that moment, after she had already been made to feel embarrassed and vulnerable, hearing staff giggling only made her feel even more humiliated. Timing, discretion, and basic emotional awareness matter enormously in intimate services like waxing. At the end of the day, this felt like an inexperienced waxer and a scheduling problem being turned into my sister's fault, while her feelings were completely dismissed. A client should never leave a waxing appointment feeling ashamed of a normal bodily response, humiliated, and then be labeled "aggressive" simply for saying she felt uncomfortable. Stopping a service halfway through, giving a questionable explanation, making the client feel embarrassed, and then dismissing her reaction afterward is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location based on how this was handled. SHAME ON YOU ALL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. MEANGIRL ACTIVITIES AT THIS LOCATION!!!! also not this is not the first time ive heard of other issues at this location. DO NOT LET THE FOUR STARS FOOL YOU. TERRIBLE STAFF HERE.

I value punctuality and respect for my time, and I found this experience to be unprofessional and disappointing.
