Im so sad to write this review but the service here has gone down hill. I used to love this place…read more Used to be Good massage and beautiful work. Now, I can't say that. The work is marginal. Uneven filing, takes more than an hour for the standard pedi, lumpy and uneven paint job and I've been nicked twice. To top it off, when you tell them, they look at you like nothing is wrong and then all of the sudden don't understand me. The woman working was so rude and they really don't care. They over book too. Things have changed and I'm not sure why. The rudeness and cluelessness I experienced today was enough to make me never come back here. Such a disservice and waist of my time!

Star Nails in Sarasota is hands-down the cleanest nail salon I've ever been in--like VERY clean. I…read morewas especially appreciative of the total lack of chemical smells (yay!), which made the whole experience so much more pleasant, especially with baby in tow. The staff was wonderful and welcoming, and my nail tech was incredibly accommodating while I had to hold and nurse my baby during the service. They worked carefully around me without any fuss and followed my request for very short nails perfectly. The only small downside was that they were running about 10 minutes late, which made my child a bit antsy--but honestly, given how great everything else was, it wasn't a big deal. I'll absolutely be back and would highly recommend Star Nails.

I made an appt online for a pedi for my DiL and SNS for myself. I am visiting from out of state, so…read morei called to see if anyone did SNS nails. The man (receptionist?)who answered rudely said, "We call it DIP POWDER here." Ok? Who cares what you call it? I just wanted to know if they did it. So against my better judgement, I ignored his rudeness and made an online appointment. The DIP POWDER is $60 there which is NUTS; however, it includes a manicure and hand massage, so I thought - no big deal. I was there 2+ hours with my nail tech working carefully on my nails. When it was time to pay, the bill was crazy expensive - $145 for my nails and a regular pedicure. I was walking away from the register doing the math in my head and that math wasn't mathing... THEN Mr. Rude asked me to come back and pay $15 MORE dollars. I asked WHY and he said, "Because you're a first time customer and we had to remove your DIP POWDER and that is someone else's work." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So my DIP POWDER nails were $75~!!! I said - WOW way to treat a FIRST TIME customer! I will not be a repeat customer! I asked WHY i was never informed of this charge before I sat down to get my nails done, and, btw, REMOVING dip powder nails is STANDARD in EVERY salon i've ever been to with no added charge!! I AGAIN asked, "WHY didn't you tell me you were going to charge me this insane amount?" He (in his sassy, rude way) said, "I don't make the prices!" and added, "You made your appointment ONLINE." Umm SO THE HECK WHAT? I didn't get my NAILS done ONLINE. I was there for more than 2 hours! Plenty of time to drop that bomb on me. HE is the one who gave me the nail color palettes before a single service was rendered. There was NO informing me of the additional charge at that time. And THEN, GET THIS ONE....I was charged almost FIVE DOLLARS to use my credit card. Do you think I was informed IN ADVANCE? I wasn't told or asked if I wanted to pay in cash instead. Do you see a pattern here? So that's $20 EXTRA that I was not informed about ahead of time. What a freaking RIP OFF. I will NEVER go back to this place (which was not very clean and played obnoxious loud music). My DiL who is local will not return either. This is POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE! AND they need to fire that fruity receptionist for his rude treatment of customers.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm so glad my nail broke. I already had my nails done and they…read morecould have lasted another week, so I didn't plan to redo them. I came to Sarasota for a business trip, and right at the airport my nail broke. I had a meeting the next day and needed to find a nail salon urgently. At that point, I didn't care who did my nails, I just needed them fixed. I found Nail Addict, walked in, and Marie did my nails while Emily did my pedicure. I absolutely loved Marie. She helped me remove my old nails and when I told her what color I wanted, she immediately went to the back to find it instead of pushing me to choose from the book. She is incredibly talented. I don't know if it's her technique or what it is, but she did my nails perfectly and beautifully. I'm even tempted to get them done again before I leave, even though I don't need to. I wish we had someone like her in Arizona. Emily was such a sweetheart too. She did my pedicure and it looks amazing. The place was also decorated so cute and it's in a beautiful area.

I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Trish and Valentines Nail Spa!

The worst French manicure I've ever received. I spent over $120 and expected much better quality…read more The cuticle work was extremely poor. No cuticle remover was used, so my dry cuticles were simply pushed back, which was painful and left them looking rough and uneven. There is polish all around my nails, the pink polish appears old and isn't opaque, leaving a streaky, bumpy finish, and the French tips are uneven and inconsistent. To make matters worse, the salon itself looked run-down, with several things appearing broken and outdated. Overall, the experience felt rushed and unprofessional, and the final result looks nothing like what I paid for. I left feeling disappointed and frustrated. For the price, I expected clean application, proper nail prep, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

Unfortunately, my last visit was very disappointing. Amy was rude, and this time I requested gel polish because I was going on a trip and wanted something long-lasting. I specifically asked her not to file over the gel because it thins it out and makes it less durable, but she still did it anyway. The gel manicure did not even last a week, which has never happened to me before with shellac or gel. My pedicure also started peeling within a week. Sadly, after this experience, I will not be returning.
