Star Nails and Spa

I’ve been to just about all of the nail salons within the claymont/​north Wilmington area and this is the best salon in the area. They are a little more expensive than the other salons, however they are worth it. I absolutely LOVE Teresa! She is friendly and she polishes and does designs so well! I may try other nail technicians in Star nail, but Teresa is definitely my first choice!

I’ve never been burned so badly getting a wax before. The lady who did it thought it was ok to chit chat while letting the wax dry on my face ripping off a good layer of skin. Not only that but she argued with me about how I don’t know how it’s supposed to be done. I left there with a technician basically calling me a baby because I was «whining». She also left clumps of wax on my face. Very rude, will never be going back there again.

I have been going there for years! I love the attention to detail and the warm atmosphere; even if I’m waiting (because I didn’t make an appointment) I still enjoy myself. I have recommended Star Nails to tons of people, who now love it too! Bill, Tam and Tammy are the best! I’m not fond of the business manager that is there sometimes.

Best salon in Wilmington – always my go-​to spot for QUALITY nails, pedicure, and eyebrows. You pay for what you get: Gel polish on acrylic nails will run you $ 35. But these nails are always better than Hollywood nails, Sky nails, etc.

Things I loved about Star Nails:
–There is a sign in sheet to keep track of customers who are waiting for service
–The salon is clean (each pedicure station has its own clorox spray bottle)
–No one tried to convince me to get a gel manicure (Other salons always push this more expensive service)
I went to Star Nails with my dad for a (regular)mani/pedi. We knew from a friend that the salon is busy even during what some might consider «off peak» hours so we were prepared to wait. We ended up waiting for 15 – 20 minutes as all the techs were busy with other customers. But the time passed quickly looking at all the nail polish colors. The salon offers Essie, China Glaze, and OPI polishes.
The techs were friendly and worked efficiently. And my dad and I both loved the results! 3 days later both the mani and pedi are going strong, but I sort of want them to chip so I can go back again!

This is a great salon! I had a gel manicure and eyebrow wax and both were better than any salon I’ve been to in the area. The gel has not chipped or peeled at all and I am coming up on 8 days since it was applied. The technician was very sweet and took the time to explain to me how to take good care of my nails (I am trying to grow them for my wedding). I am excited to have found my new nail place, and they only charge $ 5 more than the old place where the manicure was poor and the gel peeled within a couple of days. They do charge for acetone soak-​off but it’s nominal. I am going back this week for a color change and possibly a pedicure!

GREAT service! They are usually pretty crowded, so make an appt. I got gel nails done and a pedicure. Both done very well. After a couple of days, one of my nails peeled, but they fixed it no problem. I went back for eyebrows and they did an awesome job. I will definitely be back!

I believe it’s been about 2 years that I have been going here to get my pedicures.
And now, Jeni is the only person that I trust to give me a great pedicure. Having suffered from many ingrown toenails and have had many food surgeries, Jeni is consistant, gentle, kind and does a fabulous job.
Just this past Sunday Jeni suggested that I try their gel nails. I don’t normally do my nails but treated myself as for the New Year.
Love Them. Nothing like acrylics as I had originally thought. They dry via UV light and are rock solid and shining when you leave the salon.
The owner, Sam, is a gem and always addresses you by name and manages to squeeze me in for an appointment whenever I need one.
Extremely clean and sanitary as well.
This is my place now. Glad to have finally found one so close to home.

After a bad experience with a different salon, I went to Star Nails a few days before my wedding to get my acrylics re-​done. I was so impressed and it is the best that my nails have ever looked. I wish I lived there so I could get them done there all the time. The owner was really nice and made a point to take care of each guest. The lady who did my nails was really nice and never spoke in another language to anyone in front of me (usually they talk about the customers). They are great!!! highly reccomended!!!

So happy to have found this place! They do great work. They actually talk to you and they speak very good English. After you go once or twice they know your name. They also have an incentive card, for every so many dollars you spend they mark a box on your card and after so many marked boxes you get discounts. They also get you in and out quickly.
