    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.

    $35 gel manicure

    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.

    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.

    **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.

    Acrylic fill.  Love it!

    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!

    Simple and classic, exactly what I wanted!!

    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.

    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!

    Acrylic fill + gel polish in OPI shade "Stop It I'm Blushing."

    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 :)

    Was given a gift certificate here. I like that there's multiple options for booking: app, mobile…read moreand over the phone. I can say that the young woman who booked my appointment wasn't very pleasant when taking my information, she seemed to be in a rush and a tad condescending. If I tell you it's my first time, this may imply that I don't know your 9 minute late policy. All policies are not self explanatory, btw. Anyway, I was able to get an appointment the same day I called, within a couple hours time, so it is very convenient to be seen on short notice. Despite the young lady at the front desk (wish I got her name), I can say I had a great experience overall. My wax was done by Shaneka who made me feel comfortable and at ease. She thoroughly explained each step to me which kept me in the loop about the entire process. She even pitched products they had for sale, not in a pushy way but actually was informative about the benefits. She is a great conversationalist and gave a relatively painless wax. I do plan to return in the near future.

    Ms. April is the best waxer there , otherwise it's 1 star all around . the products don't work no…read morematter how hard you try to "stay consistent" and management is ever worse! If you get the wax passes beware that even if it's payed completely, they'll still charge you a $25 fee for cancellation and then give you "store credit" for the remaining balance . Y'all are weird asf
