    I absolutely love this nail shop. Ive been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. Lyn has been my nail tech since I was 16 years old and now Im wayy older lol but she's absolutely the best. Everyone is extremely professional and always polite.

    They wouldn't let me post on Facebook without selecting I recommend this place

    They made me look like a clown and laughed. How do you mess up eyebrows so badly? I regret not getting them threaded!

    Love this place! My nails always come out looking great and last for a long time. They're helpful and efficient in achieving whatever I have in mind when I go in whether it's color matching, shape, or design/style. Highly recommend!

    I've been going to Nail Star for 8 years and it's a great place! Always very clean, lots of color options, and a number of great techs. Richard is the BEST- he always takes his time and makes sure I'm happy with the finished product.

    Crooked

    Went today to get my nails done for ENGAGEMENT photos which are going to show off my ring and NAILS and now I am extremely disappointed and so mad. 7/10 of my nails are crooked and uneven and none of them are shaped right. I hate to leave a review like this but I only do because they seemed to just want to rush and not pay attention to what they were actually doing.

    Bubbles on the polish, so much GEL POLISH on my cuticles/fingers

    I don't like leaving reviews like this but I come here a lot and it's always a hit or miss. My nails end up looking so good and last for a long time or I leave disappointed, and the past year my nails have looked nothing but bad despite all the chances I've given them. I got a gel acrylic fill-in and the lady who did my nails today seemed as if she was in a rush and didn't even care to make my nails even or clean up the polish left around my nails, there were also bubbles left on my nails. She filed my nails AFTER the gel polish was on my nails so now the sides have no polish. With the prices they charge you would think they would be a little bit more consistent. And the "student discount" is a joke, $1 off? You might as well make it full priced.

    Ms Yen always does a great job! She always takes her time and makes sure you get what you want.

    Healthy Nail is a waste of money. I told them I needed a full set and before I knew it They were using powder color. I wasn't given a choice

    Okay so i will be completely honest in this review. Theres some pros and cons to this nail salon…read morebut honestly, I've just accepted the fact that no nail salons in the Calera/Alabaster area fit my expectations and thats okay.. Pros: The man who did my nails did an amazing job. Shaped them the way i wanted and colored them nicely... Cons: Messy aftermath and confusing prices. When i looked at the price list, it said $12 for a color change on toes and 17&up on fill in. Okay cool, im thinking im walking out of there not paying over $40 for a gel fill-in and color change (I know that gel is usually $10-$15 up charge). Lets do the math, 17+15+12= 44 at most. I got charged $51 for a fill in and toe nail change and im a bit confused why? I maybe shouldve asked but regardless, Ill just drive to further location for a nail service, i kinda feel robbed.. ALSO, theres a 3% charge on debit card users? Maybe thats where a little of the extra money came from? I dont know but its weird to me...

    I stand behind every word I put in my first review, I'm hoping this isn't going to remove it. While…read moreI was VERY unhappy with my experience there, I will have to say the younger gentleman that usually does the pedicures, does a great job, he is kind, careful and makes sure you're comfortable. The ladies that work there are ok, they do a good job, if you just want tips and paint, anything beyond that is shaky ground. The man is horrible!!! He can put nails on, and if you can overlook his bad attitude, you may walk out satisfied. I did that, the 1st time, now the 2nd time went a little differently...a person that's paying for a service can only take so much. When it got to the point he is basically throwing my hands around, "NO" being his answer to everything, (I asked if he could marble one of my nails, btw marbling isn't that hard) and telling me to hurry up and pick my color, he didn't have time to wait on me to look at the different colors, just pick one! Then got up said some jibber jabber I couldn't understand and walked to the back of the store, where the door was opened and I guess he was having a cigarette, and just left me sitting there. The younger guy finished my nails, he was nice. This paint they basically picked and I was just like ok, ended up making me want to throw up every time I looked at my nails, so I had to go to Kim in Montevallo and have them repainted and pay for that, but it was so worth it! Been going there every since. Back to the review; so when the guy was finished and I was in line to pay, which if I had it to do again, I would've just walked out and left. The old one waltzes up front and I was livid by this point, so I gave my opinion and a couple of suggestions. Still payed $44, didn't get an apology, discount, nothing...well I did get a lesson...when ppl show you who they are, believe them the 1st time. Also, if you want something other than a paint job and bad attitude, go to Nail Star in Montevallo Kim & Sue are GREAT!
