Been here 3 times in a row now. First time was as walk in, second and third time was by appointment. Highly recommend booking appt over walking in to allow the techs to fully focus on you. That said, all my experiences have been very attentive by all the techs. This last set, I went with just clear builder gel and top coat (wanted stronger nails for a camping trip so that they wouldn't break and no reason to really do any design). Hailey the tech I booked gave so much attention to my basic nail set. Her technique for builder gel is so even and not too thick. I also felt little to no burning sensation during the first cure. My niece came too . Here is her review "I got my nails done by Hailey! She was very easy to corporate with and I love how she takes her time, I admire how much effort she put in to make it so detailed." Hailey followed my niece's inspo to a T read more

I've been going here pretty regularly now and they've always done a great job. Had to leave my old nail salon because it wasn't consistent. Sometimes my nails would look fine, and other times not so much. However, I always leave V-Star Lounge feeling satisfied! Whenever I show them an inspiration pic, it's always on point. Will keep coming back read more

Avoid this place. I'm curious where the good reviews came from. I had some time and needed a pedicure/manicure/wax. Looked for a well reviewed place and this place popped up. Looked great so I went in. I don't know if these are their names but these are the carts they had. Lisa came over to do my pedicure. I chose regular polish organic pedicure. Lisa less than ideal for this. She made me bleed and she was literally filing on the top of my toes and my feet! Directly on my skin with the big filing square, so much so I have a rash and this was done yesterday. She cut both my big toes uneven and after asking for a design she "forgot" she did the massage after painting my nails so she didn't rub my feet really at all Just my calves. Anna did my manicure and she did a great job! She even fixed my toes after Lisa left because we saw she missed some areas. Another lady comes to grab me for my wax and tells me to lay down. The bed pillow is covered in make up and hair and the bed portion had dirt all over it, hoping it's just from peoples shoes I'm committed at this point. She then puts luke warm wax on my face and barely anything was coming off. Afterward she says ok you're done and I look in the mirror and well I had to touch it up when I got home. She just left the room to go back to doing someone's nails. Didn't clean up anything. I went to pay and I remember reading reviews that people were charged fraudulently. So I pay which seemed high, asked for my receipt and walk out. Looking at it I see they charged me for gel polish for the pedicure (I got regular) which is 15 more. Seriously I was just done. But with my tip they got an extra 37.00. I wasn't going back in, and chalked it up to a learning lesson as I sit here with my foot covered in cortisone. read more

This spot is perfectly acceptable yet I don't quite understand all of the raving reviews. To me it was "normal." I definitely like the way they are set up with a formal reception and a wall separating - that definitely gives a more professional vibe. Yes, the space is gorgeous and also calming - two important qualities of getting a mani or a pedi. It feels good to be in here, which is nice. Reception greets you and gets you into the system and helps you pick your colors. Then you go to whoever's station for your mani or pedi. Appointment or walk in. read more

I cannot recommend Timmy enough! He is absolutely incredible and creates a masterpiece every time! I go in with an inspo picture or just a theme/idea and he always delivers. The length, shape, and colors are always perfect! I damn near cry every time with how happy I am. I highly recommend this establishment in general, as I've come in before for pedicures for my bonus daughter, her friend, and her friend's mom and they were able to fit us in. They did two at a time, and they were all beautiful and lasted! Before I booked with Timmy for acrylics I did have gel nails done by someone else here and they were also great. Honestly, you can't go wrong. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I live in Port Orchard so it's very hard to find a really good nail tech that's available and consistent. I will drive the one hour every 2 to 3 weeks to get my fills and design here.

I got a classic pedicure with gel and French design. Really nice service. I asked a couple questions through Yelp and they were really quick in responding. My favorite part was the massage chair. It was really good and hitting the right spots. I felt a little bad because it shook me a bit while the nail artist was trying to clean the lines. Anyway, I have really small pinky nail beds - but she was able to make it work. I was really happy with it. read more

I did a walk in without an appt, they were able to get me in within mins. I got a pedicure and it was Lisa who took care of him yesterday. She was very friendly and sweet, her work is nice and very gentle. After my pedicure I went for a manicure. Originally I wanted dip nails but the tech offered gel x which I was open to try. I always hear about it but haven't had the opportunity to try so did. Result which I love because the nails was not heavy feeling like acrylic. The tech was very friendly and helpful, I did not get her name. Only reason why I gave a 4 stars is because one my right pinky nail was placed a little cricket. I'm not a picky person but it does kinda bother a little which is ok that can get fixed next time. Second my ring finger nail was placed kind of lifted up. So that finger looks a tiny off compare to the others which also I can get it fixed next time. Other than that service was great the salon is very clean and cozy. I would definitely come back for my fill and other service. read more

I went in on a Wednesday around 1/2pm and it was not very busy which was great. I picked out my gel color for my pedicure and was seated pretty quickly. I got the classic pedicure for $50 with gel, $35 for regular polish. Kind of pricey but my experience was great! She was very careful with my 2 big toenails, since in the past others have cut my skin so I appreciated her care. Zero complaints throughout. The massage chair was also very nice in comparison to others, was skeptical at first because it looked well loved but gave me such a great massage! My feet looked so pretty. Will be back :) read more

I got a white gel manicure on 05/29 around 4:30. That same day the gel started to peel, which means that the nail tech that did my nails did not prep my nails right. I came back the next day on 05/30 for me to get them fixed, I was understanding and came out my way to get them fixed. Once I got there the tech that originally did my nails was grabbing my hands very rough like I was the one that made the mistake. Instead of her redoing my nails and taking off the gel off each nail she just drilled the sides, put one layer of white coat , added top coat and called it a day. I did my nails for my baby shower that was on 03/31 and my nails once again were worse than before. I had air bubbles on my nails, the prep wasn't right and I paid for a service that didn't last me. I always come here to get my nails and feet done, never had a problem with my gel peeling off and now it came to this. I don't leave reviews, ever but i called for a refund and I was hung up on. This was my go to spot and after the service they gave me it just wasn't it. I paid $40 for a gel manicure that lasted 2 days. read more

I'm sadly disappointed with this salon. First I went to get my nails and toes done but was rushed into a chair because they booked too many appointments.

Amazing job on my gel manicure with repair to one of my nails. Lasted two full weeks and I'm hard on my nails!

I came to Vstar as I needed a quick dip manicure for a wedding I was attending. I'm from Texas and I just stopped at the first place I saw driving. I'm so glad I came to this nail salon. They took me in right away and did such a great job on my nails. I even asked them to use multiple powders and they were more than willing to accommodate. The stylist did my nails in a timely manner and they look beautiful. The salon was very clean and relaxing! They make it a welcoming and calming atmosphere. read more

I stopped by here weekday for an impromptu.No permit and predict care.I've had a history of occasional acrylic now.One of which led to an infection and a lot of pain.I prioritized good value and cleaning this safety and was very pleased with my experience at v star mail lounge The service here was fantastic, friendly, polite, and gentle. As someone who does not get manicures or pedicures often, I found this to be a distinguishing factor. Prices were fair, thirty-five dollars for a standard pedicure, and sixty-five dollars for acrylic nails full set. Parking is abundant in a complex field with nice desserts and meals. I ended up getting sushi after. read more

I feel so compelled to write this review. I went for a shellac pedicure and dip powder manicure on Saturday, 8/3/2024. I get my nails done every 3 week in West Seattle and have kept this schedule for the past two years. I decided to try this place with my sister for a change of pace and I deeply regret it. Upon entry, the receptionist was pleasant and soft-spoken. She paired me with a woman, her name was "Ha" who needed a translator to communicate with me. I don't mind that except there was no one within ear shot to help me communicate what I wanted. Another woman, "Dat," drilled off my previous dip from another salon and she was so rough with my nail beds. She drilled all over my clothes, skin, even gave without a care. And dripped acetone all over me until my hands itched -- which has never happened before. Ha was also not gentle with the nail drill, I'm sure she was using the wrong drill bits, and continued despite my protests and winces. She did not work on my cuticles and I had to prompt her to cut my overgrown toenails. She started painting my toes before they were dry and the paint was already starting to bubble. I said nothing, hoping she would course-correct but she didn't. She kept putting layer after layer, the bubbling got worse. As she was about to place the topcoat, I told her to take it off. Even then she left polish on my skin and edges of my nails. I refused to even let them complete the service. I just paid for it and left. No apologies for the terrible experience I had. Please don't be fooled. This place has nice decor but terrible service. I was going to take my mother there and recommend some people to go there off of the reviews I saw prior, but I'm glad I got first-hand experience! Would not even give this place one star! Absolutely no pride in providing quality work. Going to my go-to place, Rose's Nail Salon in West Seattle. Far, far superior quality and customer service. read more

It saddens me to write this review but I'm so frustrated with the service I got. I've been coming here for the past half year and all my services have been nice and it was all good experiences. I even recommended this place to all my coworkers and friends. I came in for a hard gel fill with my natural nails for a polka dot french tip and was charged $105+ How is that possible??? This place charges for french tip which is fine I guess. But I was also charge another $10 for small polka dots in my small french tip. Like are you kidding me? When I went to pay I questioned the price and the worker provided me a breakdown and UPCHARGED ME $10. When I called her out all she did was look at me and guided me to tap my phone to pay?? Unfortunately I already had a 20% tipped preselected before all the conversations panned out and so she got the money she wanted. The worst thing besides the dishonest worker was she rushed through my nail appointment and did not give me any cuticle oil or hand lotion / massage which this place always does! How are you gonna charge that price and not give me my full service? Anyways if you come here avoid Haley/ Hanh at all costs. Horrible experience. read more

I walked in after a long day of work for an impromptu pedicure and I was pretty impressed. The shop itself is very clean and modern and the staff is beyond friendly. I was immediately offered water or green tea as I waited briefly which was nice. Kim was the nail tech who did my pedicure and she was awesome. Everyone knows pedicures are 25% about polish quality and 75% foot massage/soak, so my pedicure was 100% worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I've been to V-Star twice for a pedicure, one time as a walk-in, the other time with an appointment. Both times they did a high quality job. The salon is spacious and clean.

I came 30 mins out of my way to get my nails done coz my fav nail tech is now working here... Kim is awesome; but I think everyone here is very good! I saw a young male nail tech do a superb French manicure for his colleague (he's def a perfectionist!) I was offered a whole barrage of beverages before I started - even wine! Yes they are licensed to serve so I can expect it's an awesome place for your hen/celebratory mani/pedi parties!! It's very big, very clean and tada(!) welcome to the 21st century you can even make your own appointments online It's in a busy strip mall (Japanese, Thai, kakogori, bubble tea and Korean restaurants) and no shortage of parking so I suggest you give them a shot soon!

V-Star Nail Lounge - I know summer is over but I'm headed to south east asia where summer lasts forever - Nail Salons Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

I had been looking for a new nail place and settled on V Star for a few months. I was getting decent service 70% of the time so out of convenience, I just stuck with them. Then, I went in for my pre-cruise nails ended up with a disaster. The girl doing my pedicure was someone I was familiar with. The girl doing my nails was obviously being trained. I don't mind being the test subject, but if I am and she screws up, have her remove it and start over. They were doing a color-change, mermaid type color on my nails and the experienced girl saw that the other girl was using the wrong base color. Rather than remove it, she just painted the black over the white and moved on. More layers my nails didn't need. I should have said something but I didn't think it would be that bad. 3 days later, I'm in the hot tub on the cruise and color started peeling off. Horrible. I will never go back. They could care less. read more

I left my house yesterday at 9:30am to get a 12:15 appointment just because this place had great reviews. When making a reservation, you get the choice between 3 named nail artists, or "any". I chose any thinking the reviews were accurate and my nails would be cute anyways because I was going for such a simple design. There wasn't a set receptionist when I went, so I was awkwardly standing at the desk until someone came up to the front. There was no music so you're just sitting in silence with about 4 other people. The lady who did my nails was nice but.. they're flying off of my nail. Trust me, this isn't without correction, I asked for almond nails and showed a picture and she put pointy triangles and consistently filed the sides of my nails up the entire time. I asked her to file less and make a more rounded shape, and this is what I got. Also had to step in and ask for a different color and we had to put a gel coat on top because she wasn't really using any technique to get the color with just powder. Maybe this is just me.. but I would like my nails to be linear with my nailbed, and my natural nails dont grow up so this was poor technique. I paid 65 + an 18% tip so it was around 76$. I was really disappointed. For the price I might have well went to a nail tech directly read more
