Star Nails & Tanning

Took my girlfriend here and she absolutely loved it! She said that the staff were very nice to her. They made good talk and made her feel welcomed. Her nails look amazing. She also got her feet done and they feel so smooth. We’ll definitely come back again! she really enjoyed it and was happy with her nails.

Went there today for a simple shellac. The color choices were poor and the brushes inside them had seen better days. I finally found a color and sat down for a simple shellac change. The color I choose was dark and should have went on seamlessly but it was spotty. The manicurist was awesome and kept trying to get the color to go on correctly but after 4 coats it wouldn’t dry. She ended up having to remove the shellac and I had to leave because a 20 minute spa service had turned into 45.
The décor is simple. The staff is awesome. The color selection is awful and I really wish they would upgrade to a variety of brands.
I would go back if i needed an emergency fix or color change but I will stick to larger salons!

My sister and I tried this place out to support local business (Mt Washington) and the price was right. They are having a mani/​pedi deal for $ 40 right now. We called ahead but you can pretty much get service right away. It’s a small nice place with not much for décor but I’m not really paying for the ambiance, right. The place has three chairs (not massaging but comfy) for the pedi’s and the usual spa stuff for your feet and typical mani treatment. The overall experience for the mani/​pedi was great for the price. The owners run a clean friendly business. Cindy is one of the owners and was my manicurist and she was fantastic. One little thing that bugged me was if you wanted bottle water you had to pay $ 1, not a big deal, but for gosh sakes it’s just a buck, give it to your customer for free.
I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a well done job and you are on a budget :)

Star Nails and Tanning is one of the only nail salons in the Mt. Washington area.
I have never tanned at this location but I know that they have 2 tanning beds. When I was there getting my nails done the beds were getting used one right after the other and the employees were saying that the beds were ‘hot’. They also discussed how they were going to be getting new beds soon!
I’ve had my nails done here several times. A few years ago I had a full acrylic set done for a prom and was very happy with the results. I decided that I didn’t like acrylics anyways because of how much they damage your actual nails. They stayed on forever!
Today I had them paint my nails with the French tips style. I opted not to get the full manicure as I had little time. The manicurist gave me the option to either have them airbrushed or hand painted and I had him hand paint them for me. He did a pretty good job with it. I’ve tried myself and failed. There are a few nails that have a slightly uneven line at the tip, but it’s barely noticeable.
