Welcoming, to me the moment I entered! Quality of service is excellent! Never felt rushed, always genuinely caring! read more

I love this place. A small family vibe. Immaculately clean. You can see them clean and autoclave all the equipment each time which I love. Prices very reasonable and the quality is top notch. It always smells really lovely inside as well. read more

I've been here multiple times and have always had a pleasant experience with the staff and excellent service. I've had manicures and pedicures here. They all do a fabulous job and are always professional. I love coming here and will continue to do so. I'm glad I found this hidden little gem and I'm happy to share it with whomever is looking for a place that you don't need an appointment and a more relaxed atmosphere. It sounds like some people call and schedule an appointment occasionally, but I believe it's just as easy to stop in when you can! read more

Star Ruby Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Love this salon! Kevin and Hannah are the best. You definitely should get an appointment!

I can't say enough good things about this place! This review is for eye brow waxing with Hannah but let me tell you, I waited for a month and flew from Florida to have Hannah do my eyebrows today. I've been coming to Hannah for 2 years. I used to live near and went because this location was really convenient but after I moved to short pump I couldn't find anyone decent who did exactly what I wanted so I would drive back to midlo to have Hannah do my eyebrows. Now I live in Florida and waited to have Hannah do my eyebrows today. She's amazing and I love her. read more

Star Ruby Nails is a great place for a clean, affordable mani/pedi. I decided last minute to get my nails done for an event this weekend, and thankfully they were able to take me as a walk in this morning. The selection of gel polish colors is pretty comprehensive. They have just about every color you might want, but not so many that it is overwhelming. My technician was polite and efficient. She also gave me a killer hand massage! Star Ruby Nails absolutely delivered. I appreciate how quickly I was taken care of and how reasonable their prices are. I will be back here for sure. read more

I missed a nail appointment and the owner called yelling at me. He told me to never make an appointment there again. No worries! I won't be back. read more

I have never experienced such rude and unkind behavior. I was simply turning on the massage chair for my pedicure when the man who works there comes over and starts to yell at me, and accuse me of trying to break the chair, because I'm pressing the buttons. I was shocked! I said I am certainly not trying to break your chair. And I apologized. And he continues to yell at me and say that I am trying to break the chair. It was bizarre. It was so rude. Awful. After a minute I was letting my heart rate go back down. I told the young lady doing my pedicure that I cannot stay here. I need to leave. She said I have to pay for half the pedicure. Unbelievable. absolutely awful behavior from that man. And unwarranted. read more

Walk-ins welcomed and usually one can sit right down for a pedicure or manicure. Kind staff. Excellent service. Reasonable pricing. My go-to. read more

Just moved here from Chicago and was in search of a nail salon. Took me a month to finally try a place and I chose this place because of the reviews and it's only 5 minutes from my home. Kevin, Kim, and Hannah were nice and treated me great. The pedicure was great and she did a wonderful job. Kevin did my gel manicure and it was just as great. I will definitely be making this nail salon my regular spot. Location was clean and service was great. Although walkins are accepted, I do highly recommend scheduling an appointment beforehand. They can get pretty busy with only the 3 of them. But besides that, I enjoyed and I'll be back in a few wks. read more

This place is very hidden!! It's next to the haircut place closest to the street and across the side parking lot from Tazza. I went in for a pedicure today and it was great! I'm guessing this is a small family owned business based off of what other people said. The older lady did my pedicure and it was fantastic! She really took the time to massage my legs. Best part of it all, it only cost $25! It was also very clean and didn't smell strong of any chemicals. I would definitely come here again for a pedicure! read more

**Turned Away for Service** I'd frequented this establishment on a number occasions for the past two or three years and usually had pleasant interactions with the technicians until today. Today I was turned away from receiving services because they were "closed". I arrived to the salon at roughly 5:50pm and was told that they were closed however, their hours of operation are listed as 10:00am - 7:00pm Monday through Saturday. I inquired about the hours posted and was told they were closing based on their COVID hours ( an hour before the posted business hours + their "COVID hours" aren't posted anywhere in the salon). When I inquired about the hours posted again, Kevin (one of the salon owners) directed me to just ignore the hours posted even though I'd just driven across town to receive services based on the hours THEY advertise. Kevin also went on to note that they were by appointment only however, that is not the true as I'd called three weeks ago prior to my visit and inquired as to whether or not an appointment was required, to which I was told no and received services as a walk-in customer; furthermore, my partner received services earlier today without an appointment. I will not be returning to this establishment as they inconvenience their customers without regard and are dishonest. In sharing my decision not to return Kevin stated "okay"; given Kevin's response it's evident that this establishment does not value their customers. I'd encourage patrons to take their business and money where it'll be appreciated. read more

Star Ruby Nails - Business Hours of Operation - Nail Salons Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

The Holy grail of nail salons in the RVA area. I called ahead and they took me the same day. Hannah did my pedicure and wow! Best pedicure I've ever gotten! They have a few options to choose from. I got the Organic one for $28. The basic is $25. There are others that cost a bit more. Hannah did such an amazing job. Not only did my toes look fabulous but the massage that came with it was amazing. I also got an acrylic fill by Kim. The fill was done extremely well and shaped perfectly. In total I was there for over 1.5 hours. They really take their time here and make sure everything is done right. And everything is extremely CLEAN!!! Latest fill done by Kevin. Another fabulous job. I just love this place! read more

I am so happy I stopped in here!! They were very kind and watching them interact with their regulars was amazing. I could tell that they have truly made an impact on their customers and the surrounding community. I had my eyebrows waxed and an acrylic manicure. I don't do these often so i got a lot of assistance from my technician. She truly listened to what I wanted. My nails are a little sore, I don't think I will do the electric drill next time or maybe it's because my nails are not used to this. Thank you so much for being patient and making my nails beautiful. read more

Star Ruby Nails - Simple and classic, exactly what I wanted!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

It was just an interesting experience. I'm only reviewing based on my actual pedicure not service. It's only been about a week or so and the paint is already coming off. Plus, some of the sides of the nails were missing paint. With all the great reviews I honestly expected a lot especially because of the price point. I'm not rough on my feet either... or doing anything to cause mine to chip etc. Especially polish should last a decent almost month or something not a week and some change. Just disappointed from all the great reviews. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for years and did not have any issues until last week. I asked the owner Kevin Tu has his prices increased because he has never posted any prices in the salon over the seven years I have been going to his salon. He asked what did he charge me the last time and when I told him it was $10 more than last time he claimed it was due to repair and cutting my nails. I noticed he never charged like that before but was just asking to know what to expect because he never communicated to me that it would be extra. The moment I said it was higher than my previous time and wanted to know if his prices had increased, he got upset and said he has never cheated me. Well I wasn't implying that just needed to know has his prices increased. He told me he was done with me and to find someone else to do my nails. What kind of customer service is this? I was only asking so I could know what to expect to pay and have every Right to ask! This was very unprofessional and ugly of him to treat a loyal customer like this for inquiring about his prices when he has Never posted any of his prices for service in the salon as other nail salons. I am very disappointed in his attitude and poor customer service. I will never do business with such a hot head nor will I refer any more of my friends to this place. I witnessed him yelling at another customer one day in front of everyone for her to not shake the nail polish. He screamed you drop it and break it, you pay $20.00! This was so unprofessional and crazy of him. I advise him to get the help he needs for his temper or get out of the nail salon business!! read more

There are so many salons in the area and I have tried them all but Star Ruby Nails is my absolute favorite! The people are so nice, it's calm (they have videos and music - no annoying HGTV yelling at you the whole time), the prices are reasonable and they work with your schedule. I do the gel manicure and pedicures and Kim does an amazing job - and they LAST (which means they are never using old polish). Note that they are closed on Sundays and I would recommend calling for an appointment -although walk-ins are welcome. The salon is tucked away off Alverser by Tazza and across from DSW (they are next to the florist). Consider Star Ruby Nails for your next Mani / Pedi! read more

I have been coming to Star Ruby Nails for a year now and it is one of the best nail salons in the city. This salon is hidden in the shopping center where Tazza Kitchen is located in Chesterfield. I started coming here when my old nail tech stopped doing nails and I needed to find a new salon. I found Star Ruby on Yelp and after reading rave reviews I decided to give it a try. The salon is very small and there are only 3 technicians but don't let the size fool you. Good things come small packages and Star Ruby is it! Some nail salons can smell toxic and chemically, but not Star Ruby. It is super clean and smells like incense and Fabuloso. It is a very simple but has soothing ambiance here. It is not super fancy and they do not serve wine but you will leave here completely thrilled with your nails. Kevin is the owner and is so genuine and nice and will slay your nails. He takes his time and remembers how you like your nails and pedicure. He is very talented and always makes sure you are satisfied with his work. I highly recommend making a reservation because they can get quite busy since it is a small salon. On the weekends a reservation is a must! So sit back and relax and enjoy your mani/pedi! read more

Very rude! And bad service! Nails weren't done properly! Eyebrows were messed up! Felt rushed, didn't take their time just felt like the owner didn't care. read more

I've followed Kevin from salon to salon because he is the best. Kim and Hannah are also STAR nail technicians and artists. My nails are always perfect when I leave. I consider them family and would not go any place else! They are also more affordable than a lot of the nail salons in the area. They keep the place spotless and all the equipment is new. read more

UPDATED REVIEW- I have made this my new nail shop, going several times since my first review. They are always very friendly and don't pressure you by trying to up sell like a lot of local salons. Their nail polish color selection is great! They have a variety of brands and colors. The massage chairs are all comfortable and don't beat you up like I gave experienced from lower quality salons. I still think this is the best value in Midlothian - $35 for regular manicure and pedicure. I leave relaxed, feeling pampered, without breaking my budget! Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed. The price can't be beat - $35 for a mani/pedi. They did a great job on both! They have a good selection of nail polish colors and brands. I was able to walk in and be seen immediately. The massage chair was very comfortable. Unfortunately I cannot give them 5 stars due to the warmer temperature in the shop and the strong chemical smell (acetone?) I will definitely go back as it was a great value! read more

I came in for an acrylic fill in + gel polish and this is hands down the best acrylic work I've ever seen. My nails have literally never looked better!!! The shop is behind Creative Hair Company in the Alverser shopping center. The salon is quaint, clean and quiet. My nail artist had the most impeccable attention to detail! At no point did I feel like she was just "going through the motions." I've seriously never seen anyone shape nails as well as she did! AND after shaping all of my nails she checked both pinkies side by side, both ring fingers side by side etc. and made sure each was perfect! I also really appreciated how well she filed the acrylic down so that they were flat and smooth and looked like natural nails. Their prices are awesome, too! The fill was only $18 and gel polish was $20. They do prefer if you tip in cash, so be sure to have some with you :) read more

I just moved to this area from New York, and this is by far the best nail salon experience I've ever had. Kevin gave me a new acrylic set and an impeccable gel manicure. I got my eyebrows done by a Hannah. Both of them were so friendly and professional. The salon itself is very clean and nicely decorated. I will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for a quality nice salon. read more

I waited 2 weeks to write this because I wanted to make sure I was calm and objective when I wrote the review. The only man there was the only person available and he definitely had an attitude from the beginning. He made a very sarcastic comment when I asked his thoughts on a nail issue. I definitely respect and appreciate any service provider and was shocked when this man seemed to get angry that I asked if we could add warm water during the pedicure ( I'm just cold natured :). I felt his attitude but figured he might be having a bad day but he started yelling - seriously yelling and was a total bully. It was odd and I noticed none of the female employees seemed phased (as if it happened often). Again, I greatly appreciate any employee providing a service, however, this man was a complete bully and screamed for 5 minutes until I left. Amazingly sad to see anyone behave in such a manner. It went past unprofessional and past rude to being a total bully. read more

This not my normal nail salon, since I was nowhere close to my normal spot and pressed for time, Yelp! to the rescue! The salon was clean. Their music was upbeat, current and they had videos playing on their tv. They don't talk much to their customers, but if I talked to any of them they would respond accordingly. Now, the reason I am giving them 3 stars is because I got a manicure with shellac polish in which they charged $35. Personally, I have lived in Richmond for 2 years and I have tried many nail salons so that's about $10 more than average. Maybe their prices are higher because of the area, but the look of the shop is just plain, nothing upscale. Or possibly the nail tech just overcharged me. Not a bad place to have service, I do recommend them, but if you are frugal like me, check out the prices before the service. read more

Came with my 11 yr old son having never gone before. He got a pedi and I got a mani/pedi. Kevin took care of me and his sister took care of my son. Kevin was gentle and wasn't rough.

Absolutely love this place. Hands down the cleanest nail salon I have ever been to. Run by Kevin, his wife, and sister and they are all so pleasant and great at what they do! My mom went 65 years without having a manicure or pedicure and this place was so nice she goes back every two weeks now! You get much more than what you pay for. They aren't trying to gouge you with prices, just give you a quality manicure/pedicure. Love them and recommend them to all of my friends! read more

Lovely new small nail spot in Midlothian. I was impressed by how clean and fresh the salon is. The owners are friendly and welcoming.

There is no shortage of nail shops but finding one that suits your needs can be a challenge. This shop is very clean, services are reasonably priced, and all the techs are friendly. I have been pleased with mani pedis from both Kim & Hannah. Kevin did a stellar nail repair job. I have no complaints about any of their work but Kim is my go-to girl. Walk-ins welcome. Not required but bring cash for tipping. read more
