Love Nail Star and I love Tricia. Been going here for a long time for my gel manicures and am very happy with the staff and work ethic. I have never been able to grow my nails before I started seeing Tricia. She had them in great shape with just 2 visits...better then any happy nails and the prices are very fair. They are very busy so make an appointment. FYI, they are open on Sundays until 6 I think. read more

Walked in for pedicure. The salon was clean & quant. The staff was very friendly and the service was great. My pedicurist was very nice and did a wonderful job. The environment was relaxed and I enjoyed my bit of pampering for the day. Didn't feel rushed out or like I was just being churned through to get to the next customer. I would recommend this place. Great small business. Thanks Nail Star! read more

They told me they did the service I wanted and mail designs. They did not know how to do a very simple design. The French tip was thick and uneven and one hand was different than the other. She kept doing it over and over until it just kept worse and worse. Don't go here if you like having nice nails read more

I LOVE my nail lady (Linda). She's phenomenal and it took only one visit for her to remember me and how I like my nails. She treats me with fantastic care, is gentle, so kind, easy to talk with, has never hurt me once, and does an outstanding job every time. On top of her excellent technique and customer service, their prices are the best in the area. I will be a loyal customer FOR SURE! P.S. they have all the colors you could want. Very happy and satisfied! read more

I don't usually do this but when I can't get over something I have to. I came & said I needed a fresh set 6 days ago & he suggested I just do a fill (knowing I only do clear polish) I'm back for compensation because I couldn't go into the new year like this-- without a simple apology for a bad job due to one of her employees the manager just explainied that I need to pay the difference of fill & full, which I don't mind ..I just want proper service the first time. Now I'm awkwardly sitting here getting the full set that I initially asked for. I wouldn't waste you time. read more

I stopped in here today, for a color change. I got a pedicure this morning, from the place I have gone for years, same person every two weeks... and I just didnt like what she did on my toes today. This place was very friendly, clean, and took care of my polish change... and I got to sit and relax in the spa chair. Some places wont do that just for a color change, so it was nice. The girl did a great job and did some pretty flowers on my toes. I would definitely come back here again. read more

I needed a new place to get my eyebrows done and chose one not too far from where I live. The inside looks just fine, so I wasn't sure what the negative reviews were about. There is a sign in the waxing room that tells you how to care for your face after the work is done, which I've never seen anywhere else! The woman who helped me was also honest, but kind, and got what I wanted and did a great job! I usually am met with a lot of judgment at eyebrow appointments, but she was so kind! I'll definitely come back for a second visit read more

I have been a customer here for a few years now, and have typically thought it was a fair Price for the service provided. Today when I was in, I was told after my dipped manicure/pedicure that six months ago when I paid $150 for my mani/pedi and my friends manicure that I was undercharged by $20. Really??!! I paid what you told me I owed. additionally it was six months ago...the manager shied away from the conversation and told me that my nail lady would take care of it. I paid the extra $20 and informed them I would not be returning. Be warned. read more

The owners/ business is very accommodating regarding appointments and the service is always very good. The employees also like to laugh and enjoy life. read more

Love this place! The people make it a great experience. They make you feel at home. :) Definitely 5 stars!! read more

Really hesitated writing this review because the staff was kind, but my nails are a nightmare due to the cheap materials they used. The curing light was taped together with duct tape and obviously didn't do its job properly (see pictures). So disappointed and will not be returning. read more

This nail salon was TERRIBLE. I called to see if they could take me at a certain time. I was on my lunch and only had 1 hour, they said to come in and when I got there I was waiting 10 minutes and I feel like my nails were rushed. She didn't put any lotion on my hands and it was just messy. Please look at the photo... that's 1 day later ... nail polish is bubbling up and it wasn't fully painted. My fill and gel were $33 dollars and this is the sh*t I get. read more

Nail Star - Nail polish not on some of the nail... bubbling up on day 1 - Nail Salons Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This place is great! I've been going for years but took a hiatus due to the pandemic and then being closed for so long so I found a different place to go to which became more convenient but I still didn't get the quality of service I did from Trisha and her husband. They're so great. They know all their regulars by name which is not a big deal but definitely impressive considering she remembered me still. I decided to go back even though not as close to me and I pass a ton of other nail salons on the way, they're worth it! Not to mention their prices are pretty decent as well. read more

I love this nail salon and I always request Trysha! I grew up in Mission Viejo but moved to Long Beach a few years ago so don't make it in as much as I want to but I came in 3 weeks ago before my wedding to get my nails done and loved them!! They still look good and haven't chipped at all! Just growing out obviously! I also posted a picture from the day after my appointment and from today (3 weeks later). read more

This was my second time here. They are close to my house which is the only positive. They don't like it when you bring your own polish. Don't put your shoes on without their permission. The guy got mad & then they started talking in their own language saying who knows what. They also charge more if you don't use cash. They should tell you that before the service. I went to relax & ended up frustrated with them. Not worth it. read more

Regular here! Absolute perfectionists. Anthony and Trish do my nails. And I love the way they get them absolutely perfect. read more

Nail Star - If Nail Star receive less than 5 stars it is simply undeserved. They are perfectionists in all that they do. I come here regular! - Nail Salons Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I've been going to Nail Star for awhile now and I highly recommend them. They are very friendly and professional. I usually get a pedicure about every 3 weeks and I like to treat myself to their upgraded one, it really makes my feet soft. Both Trysha and Anthony are awesome. read more

Trisha is the best ever! I have been going here for almost 7 years. It has been amazing since day one. I get acrylic nails and pedicures. The prices are good for the quality you get. I recommend making an appointment. All the employees here are good at pedicures. It is a great relaxed atmosphere and everyone here is good with my soon too. They know him by name and are ok with him being with me. read more

I came with a friend the other day and honestly we love this place so much!! The staff is so friendly and they do a great job. I got a full set of acrylics from Trysha and they are so perfectIf you are getting acrylics please go to Trysha because she is so sweet and she does a great job. read more

I just stepped in this location. I've never been there before. They were manicurist we're not busy. I walked in and said I wanted a manicure. They told me to pick out a color polish. I did when I sit down the gentleman told me that it will not last even three days. I've had manicures before and I know they don't last as long as other types of manicures but really not even three days. I walked out I would tell everybody not to go here read more

used to come here a lot and now, I'm surpised they don't have option to not use their spa chairs. And the lady owner is insistent to use it otherwise, they won't give you any service! not coming back and definitely not recommending! read more

The quality and cleanliness is average. For the price there are many better places out there. Customer service has gone downhill. My mother, loyal as they come, has been coming here for 18 years. She was really impressed with the former owner, Kelly, because of the great service, quality work and respect for the customer. Now that Kelly has left, Trysha runs the place with great disregard for the customer. Her attitude is really pathetic and unaccommodating. If you are five minutes late she will give you attitude or if you have to change your appt time she has no care to be accommodating. We told her we will take our business elsewhere and I am happy to give it to Nails by Holly and Allure Nails where we get great service and quality nail care. If I am going to spend my money I want to be pampered, not deal with an owner's attitude. Good bye and good riddance. read more

I wish I had found this place sooner! I was waited on right away by Anthony. I wasn't pressured into getting other services which is a plus! Anthony did a fantastic job on my nails! He was gentle and very professional. You won't be disappointed at Nail Star! read more

Trysha did an amazing job at fixing my broken nail. And this chrome finish? It's sickening! This is the first place I've found that has this as a choice. My new nail salon of choice! Thanks again read more

My go to nail salon. Always happy with the service and finished product. I get a gel mani and pedi. Lots of colors to choose from. Tricia and Anthony are talented, wonderful and kind owners. They are always good to me and my little girl when she comes from time to time to get her nails painted. Give them a try! read more

I just went in to get my nails done on my only day off from work. My mom is babysitting my daughter so this is my only time to myself. My nails look awful. The woman who helped me kept yanking my arm out of the machine that hardens gel and my nails kept hitting the side. I asked her to stop but because she didn't speak English she had no idea what I was asking. There's ripples in the nail, pieces of hair, the paint at the base is uneven. I absolutely hate how they look. I told the manager and she said I could come back and have them fixed for $20 instead of $28. The gas alone to drive here won't be worth that. I want to just take the paint of myself and take the loss. I've never been so unhappy getting my nails done. Also she didn't know how to do a soft square cut and made my nails more round. So I have to wait a few weeks before getting them redone they can grow out. I thought they would offer me a free manicure since it's their employee who did an awful job. Nope, I get to drive back and pay again if I want them fixed. I even had to ask for the discount myself, it wasn't offered up front. Oh and when I went to tip, the woman who did my nails was standing there watching me type in her tip amount. It was so awkward. Awful experience. I wouldn't have been so upset if they just refunded my money. Last time I had Anthony and he was amazing. I'm so disappointed because he did a great job and now I have to pay more to have him fix what someone else messed up. The manager who was working was very nice and helpful. I just wish I didn't have to pay to fix my nails that they messed up. read more

I've been going to Nail Star ever since I moved to Mission Viejo, 2-1/2 years ago. I go every 2-3 weeks religiously. I am extremely picky about my nails (both hands and feet). I know most of the staff and think they are WONDERFUL! I really love the way Trysha does my Nails and Eyebrow Waxing and how Karen does my Pedicures. If there's one thing us women have learned about nail shops, it's if you don't like how someone does your nails, you simply try someone else at the shop. HELLO? Do the other reviewers not understand that? I have tried a few different people at Nail Star and am totally in love with Trysha and Karen. I've been using these two exclusively, for almost the entire time I've been going here. I don't agree with the other reviews and think the people may be too critical and/or don't know that all they have to do is say something if they don't like the job the girls did and it'll get fixed right then and there. End of Story. Everyone leaves happy. Bottom Line: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NAIL PLACE! :) read more

Look no further!!! Excellent service - all nail services. pedicures and the Assistant Manager does great eyebrows. Good pricing. I have been to many salons in south orange county and by far this is the best. Give them a try. read more

Been in for a pedi twice (Sept 2012 and April 2013), assisted by 2 different ladies. Both times I've been please. Place is clean, staff is friendly. Never had to wait (first time went in first thing Friday morning, second time around noon on Sunday). Never hassled for add-on's like previous reviewers stated. Got my nasty toes squeaky clean after walking around the Grand Prix in flip flops. Great job removing calluses. All in all, very please and will definitely go back. Take the previous reviews with a grain of salt (as you should with all reviews). Some people you just can't please. read more

Average salon, clean, do an ok pedi. Color selection is ok but bring your own. Nice staff. I pop in here occasionally when needed. read more

If you can get past the pestering for additional services and are able to put your foot down, you'll be okay. I also wouldn't expect too much other than a decent pedicure and manicure (no massage, unless you want to pay extra). The ladies there were super-friendly, and I also got an eyebrow wax from Trisha, who just recently started managing the store. She was actually the one who made sure I didn't get any extra services pushed on me, so I give her alone 5 stars. The eyebrow wax was quick and very good. We'll see how long the polish lasts, but so far, I would return again. *I was a walk-in and there was no one else there on a Sunday afternoon. :) read more

I'm so glad my neighbor told me about this salon! I've been to a couple here in my new neighborhood with much disappointment. Anthony gave me an amazing, top professional fill and was very friendly & communicative. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience & they just received top scores from the board on their cleanliness!

I couldn't go to my regular nail place so I thought I'd try somewhere new. Everyone was very friendly however I won't be back. My nails look horrible. I got red French tips and what was supposed to look like candy cane stripe on one nail looks hideous. It is Christmas so I left a nice tip BUT won't ever step foot back in there. I need to call my regular email lady and have her fix those two nails ASAP. read more

I've been coming here about a year now. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. I get the deluxe pedicure if I have the time to be pampered. They always do a great job and my polish lasts really well. They also do nail art. The woman next to me got some flowers on her toes. She was so happy! I took a photo and will post it here. Always a relaxing time when I come here, I'm so happy I found them. Came again last week with my niece. She is very young so we were just going to get her a polish. They were super busy but fit us in. The staff was so gracious. They could have taken someone who was purchasing more services and making more money. They treated us very well and my niece felt very special. The staff here is just outstanding in their kindness (and they do a great job on my nails!) read more
