Proprietor Mary was Just an absolute delight! She fit my daughters and I in last minute for 3 manicures on Christmas Eve and spend time with each one of us with such great care it felt like pampering! We all enjoyed the experience immensely and are Already looking forward to going back again!! read more

I decided to try Star Nails after reading the numerous positive reviews. After visiting, I can confirm-- Mary is the best! My gel manicure is perfect. Mary took her time on my manicure, walking me through the different nail shapes and helping me pick. She is clearly passionate about her business and truly cares about her customers. The salon itself is a bit tricky to find, but the inside is very clean with tons of color options on display. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

New in Andover and I have been trying different nail salons arnd. I'm not exaggerating if I tell you that this was by far THE BEST experience I have had getting my nails done. The salon was clean and quiet. Mary and Sandy were very nice and welcoming. I was tired and exhausted and Sandy brought me back to life with the best and deepest foot/leg massage. Love my nails and can't wait for some more me time in there! Thank you Sandy and Mary for such an amazing experience! read more

Star Nails - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Andover, Massachusetts

Beautifully done mani-pedi! Mary was delightful and attentive. I'm a "tenderfoot" and she was careful and gentle with my aching feet.

Star Nails has been in business in Andover for more than 20 years and the reasons for that are numerous. Mary, the owner, is both reliable and talented. She works very hard and always gives me a flawless manicure. I truly enjoy seeing her friendly face every time I walk into the salon. I would not trust my nails to anyone else! read more

I have been getting my manis & pedis at Star Nails since I discovered this wonderful small business in 2004. It has changed since then but not in quality or in the personalized attention every customer receives from Mary. She has grown with this business and introduces new products, nail art and fashion trends consistently. She is a true professional. I cannot recommend her and this business enough! read more

I've been a client of Star Nails for over 20 years. This is the gold standard for a small business! Mary is a compassionate and honest person. She is a hard worker and I truly appreciate her. I book my appointments well in advance because her services are in high demand. The salon is very clean, well organized and comfortable. I highly recommend Star Nails! read more

I went to Mary for a few months, Manicures and pedicures were always rushed. When Mary finishes a client early, she texts you and expects that you drop what you are doing and come in early for your appointment. This happened to me multiple times. Not at all spa like. Services are very basic, and her prices are right up there with other salons providing a better-quality experience and service. She used a drill as part of gel removal on my hands and ruined my nails. read more

I wish I had discovered this nail salon sooner! It's exactly the kind of place I've been looking for. I've been salon hopping for a while. Finding a good salon that's clean, staffed with people who are professional and seem to really enjoy what they do (instead of just "shuffling" their clients through the process in an assembly line fashion) - well, let's just say it's harder to find than one would think. So I did a random Yelp search when I was in the area. The glowing reviews from longtime clients of the salon are what brought me into Star Nails. The owner of the salon and her daughter are so sweet, upbeat and fun to talk to...I fell in love with them instantly. When I left, I had a fantastic pedicure and made two new friends. Such a wonderful experience! read more

This place may be on the smaller side with 3 manicurists, but it has been around for 2 decades for a reason. In fact, I think it's Andover's longest standing nail salon and I'm not surprised. I have been going here since 8th grade (over 10 years), always a french mani/pedi and always a phenomenal job. My french manicures last a good 10 days up to 14 (I've tried many other places while on vacation and literally non compare). Sandy's french pedicures last me 1-2mths. They have a pretty straight-forward list of services (mani, pedi, french, shellac, false nails, etc.), no fancy hot-stone pedicures, but I prefer their solid long-lasting work over any posh salon. And they're clean! In over 10 years I've never had any cleanliness issues here (especially w/pedicures) nor have I heard of anyone who has. I've lived in Brighton (about 40min away) the past 5 yrs and that hasn't stopped me from going to Star Nails whenever I want my nails done--I refuse to go elsewhere! read more

What a great place to get your nails done! Awesome color selection and great precision. If you show a photo of a design they'll do it in the exact same way!! Very comfortable place with a very friendly and professional staff. They are mostly appointment only, but you'll see why, people are coming in constantly! What I loved the most apart from their services was that there was no rush. They take their time with every client and focus on them. They have found a lifelong loyal customer in me. read more

Star Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Andover, Massachusetts

Star Nails is my go to nail salon! Mary and Sandy run the shop and not only are they talented at their craft, they are so warm and friendly! I look forward to seeing them each time. Their new space looks beautiful! Everyone raves about Sandy's pedicures and Mary's french manis are perfect! read more

Mary and Sandy are both wonderful! They give each client the time and attention they need. Great manicures and pedicures.

This place had the kindest and most friendly employees. Their attention to detail was amazing. I had a Pedicure and Shellac French Manicure (for a wedding) and both came out great. The pedicurist Sandy took her time, which I appreciated especially when it came to the massage. I mentioned at the beginning of the pedicure that the massage was my favorite part and she did it extra long! Its not a swanky upscale looking salon if that is what you are looking for, but it has the nice massage chairs for the pedicures and they certainly make up for the lack ambiance with their service! Now if only I could get them to accept credit cards... read more

I have been doing research on nails salons in the area and I decided to try Star Nails based on the 5 star rating seen here on Yelp. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with nails. First off I made three appointments days ahead of time for 11am on Sunday morning. When we arrived there were several bags of trash outside, that was the first clue. There were only 2 people working there so one of us had to wait while the other 2 were getting nails done. They had shellac colors only in bottles not on painted nails so you could not see how they looked. When we were getting the manicure not only did we not soak we also didn't wash our hands. The polish job was un even and sloppy. They do not take credit cards either. It was an all around dump and the service was diplorable. If I could give Star Nails negative stars I would. read more

Star Nails always does a fabulous job. They're very personable, hard working people. I won't go anywhere else.

Love this place. Went to see Mary off a recommendation from a friend. This will now be my regular place. I love that they only take people by appointment. So there is no rushing through your service to get the next person in. The salon was also really clean. I went for a pedicure. I find in many of the places they do not let your feet soak long enough. This place made sure your feet got to soak. Mary was super thorough and said to come back if I had any issues. I have already booked an appointment to go back next week for a manicure. read more

See all

Not only is Sandy the salt of the earth and the kindest soul you will ever meet, she gives an amazing pedicure. Don't be startled by the appearance of the shop, it doesn't look like much but the quality and the service cannot be beat. I will definitely be returning here to have another pedicure. read more

Star Nails has been doing my nails for several years. It is a friendly family business who take excellent care of their customers. The manicures and pedicures last and look beautiful. read more

Mary's warmth has truly proved to be as good as it gets, not to mention skill. When I walked into the store, I didn't know exactly which color I wanted. I told Mary, "a light pink maybe. I usually get a poppy red". She asked me what color dress I would be wearing to the upcoming dance and helped me pick such a fitting color. Mary CARES about her customers. She wants them to look their best. I got a poppy, red, with sparkles gel polish that looks just stunning with my dress. Thank you, Mary, for listening to your customer's needs and for providing your expertise input. Finally, Star Nails effectively streamlines communication with customers using text, so you'll get the help you need fast. read more

Star Nails is by far the best nail salon around. Not only are their prices amazing, and they do a phenomenal job too. I would recommend Star to anybody looking for a great mani/pedi and I would never go anywhere else! They are so nice and so great to their customers. There is a reason that they have won Best Nail Salon so many years, and it's the same reason that I haven't gotten a mani/pedi anywhere else in 10 years. Star is the best hands down. read more

I've been here for a pedicure twice and had a great experience both times. Sandy actually remembered me on my second visit and asked about my sister, who had come with me on my first visit. The chairs are comfortable, the color selection is huge, the pedicures look great, and the massage portion of the visit is heavenly. read more

Huge Fan went today for the first time . I never write reviews but felt i had to because of the outstanding service ... So glad that I've found a Nail Salon that I love. The Lady who owns this salon is so lovely and sweet and very personable she made me feel very welcomed ... Highly recommend this place. read more

Love Star Nails! Convenient location in Andover center with easy parking. Always walk out with a great mani and/or pedi. Ask for Mary - she's the best! read more

Although the staff was very warm and friendly, I am ultimately disappointed with my experience. I spent $30 on my gel manicure, and after only 4 days it chipped and the bottoms are already peeling back and lifting. They look like they should look after 2 weeks, not a few days. I almost feel that because I look young (I'm in my twenties but often get mistaken for a teenager), I was taken advantage of. My manicure was cut extremely short because another client, an older and more frequent visitor, had arrived. I went with a best friend of mine in the hopes of spending time getting manicures together. Instead, I was rushed aside and waited 20+ minutes while my friend received what I assume to be the full length manicure that I should have received, along with a massage that I didn't receive either. Although we arrived 5 minutes late, there was no reason that my manicure should have been so rushed. Some spots were uneven and I still had hang nails and very uneven cuticles. There's no excuse, and spending $30 on a manicure that lasts 4 days is not acceptable. read more

Excellent pedicure - one of the best I've had in the area. They've been in business forever which should tell you something.

I have been a client of L @ V for years and love EVERYTHING about the salon. My sister in law is here because of IRMA and she loves the salon too!!!! read more

I called to get a $100 gift certificate for my mother-in-law and the person on the phone could not have been more rude. They basically hung up on me, even when I managed to eek out, "please, I was just hoping to buy a gift certificate!" It was actually one of the strangest encounters I've ever had. Call Andover Nail Spa if you want a gift certificate. Very gracious! read more

I have been going to Star Nails for some time now. I just wanted to say that they do a fabulous job and are conveniently located and have plenty of parking. Now as far as their services go its GREAT!! They handle manicures and pedicures and have new pedicure chairs that are soooo relaxing. They have lots of colors to pick from which is great ! I get the shellac done and I love how they have several color wheels to pick from. I am also so undecided so it works out great to see them first. I have even walked in there with photos of something I would like and it has come out just like the photo! It's a great family friendly salon and they are there to make the customer happy. read more

I have been going to Sandy and Mary for years and their services are impeccable. I spend the summer in Maine and travel to Andover just for them! read more

LOVE STAR NAILS! Over the years I have visited numerous nail salons and I have to say that Mary and the staff at Star Nails are by far the best! My gel nails always last at least two weeks, the color selection is amazing, and I always leave feeling like a million bucks! This salon not only does a great job with manis and pedis, they even do eyelash tinting! I would definitely recommend them to everyone! read more

Sandy and her daughter Mary run the most wonderful salon. Sandy gives the best pedicure bar none-as an extremely ticklish person I won't get a pedicure from anyone else! They last a good month too. They are the most hard-working people and have a long term client base that keeps coming back year after year. Go here for A-1 service from lovely people. read more
