Its a clean salon & its usually minimal wait time if you dont have an appointment. The staff is professional. However, not the most friendly. They are also overpriced. In comparison to the same services offered by other nearby nail salons. You will be charged extra if you select a certain type of gel nail polish or have a certain nail shape. For example, I was charged an extra $5 because my nails are coffin shaped. However, my nails were already that shaped before the service. So I was upset about that. Overall its a nice salon However, I wont be back due to overpricing.
June 2022 will be my 3 year anniversary of being Hollywood Star Nails’ receptionist. I love working here! The environment is amazing, clean, and efficient. I have gotten my nails done by Briahna, Dina, Jane, and Andy and they are all AMAZING. My acrylics have never lasted so long without breaking/lifting before coming here ❤️ Definitely recommend making an appointment!
Bri is amazing at nails! She listens and does exactly what you want; she’s super easy to talk to. She also puts her own little twist on things which I absolutely love! Her bail are in phenomenal and her ideas and so unique! I highly recommend you to book with Bri if you love nails art or want super pretty nails! She can do it all! 😍
I had my usual place cancel on me due to Covid for my gender reveal party nails, I call Hollywood nails and got in with briahna right away !! She even went the extra mile and asked about details and theme for the party and had my nails match my stitch or Angel theme reveal! They turned out so cute I’ve been back since and she always relievers the cutest designs.
I went their and got acrylics done, the next day one of them broke and I went back in to get it fixed and the person who fixed it was in a rush and was pulling my hand and made it different then my other nails and you can see right through the polish. They work to fast in their and take no time on your nails. I am not satisfied.
After waiting 40 minutes for a scheduled appointment I was given the worst pedicure of my life !!!My feet were left callous! My nails were NOT filed my polish came completely off after 3 days .I called to complain only to be told no manager was available!AVOID this 2 bit joint!
Had to return to have my daughters nails fixed after getting a design she had not chosen and have them add acrylic because she had a gap like they were already grown out when she left. When I called the lady said “Well she didn’t say she didn’t like them.” Of course not!! She was to nervous to say something she’s a teenager.They fixed them though.
My mom had called and schedule an appointment for me, I wanted acrylic nails and apparently the receptionist made the appointment for a manicure without asked whether it was gel/acrylic etc. I got my pedicure all was fine and then I went to get my full set and the tech I had did not know how to do acrylic so I had to wait at the front until a tech who knew how to do it was able to fit me in, I had no problem with this but the fact that the receptionist went on the attack instead of asking or explaining politely was very off putting. Techs are great; they do great work. This place needs a new receptionist… she is rude, unkind, unwelcoming, and just down right cold.
I went in for dip and a pedicure. My appointment was at 5:45. They didn’t start until 6:30. Then had to wait another 20 minutes to get my dip nails done. Very poor time management on their part and they are overpriced compared to nearby salons. The girl doing my toes did not even put a top coat on. And the man doing my nails made them all different sizes and I asked for an almond shape and he just made them round instead. Unprofessional.
Horrible service from the manager!I had a gel Polish taken off and gel Polish put back on no art no manicure. Nothing yeah I was charged $27 it was 25 plus tax. When I called to ask if that pricing was correct today I was told that $25 for a gel Polish change is standard which is absurd because most fills for acrylic nails cost $25 when I explained that I didnt even give a manicure that all I had done was polished taken off and polished put back on I was charged oh that should have been $15 but they wereunwilling to get a refund then the manager gets on the phone Im attempting to explain to the manager whats going on and she hangs up on me this is the type of customer service that you can get from this nail salon 10 and a 10 would never recommend. Worst customer service ever!Also their website claims no chip gel Polish and I currently dont have nail Polish on my thumbs as it has peeled off. All of my other nails are also peeling
Update::: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. 0 STARSYes Dina.. after you were called out and l looked at my receipt you were trying to rip us off. You tried to charge me for both of us and I refused to pay. Your business ethics are a disgrace.None of this is false information. You were trying to be deceitful.I went here yesterday. Decided to give them another try. I took my daughter with me. We called to make sure they would take a walk in told them what we wanted. They said yes.. we got there waited an hour to be taken. They took my daughter did her fill started soaking mine off. I told the girl I didnt want them to pull them off. I wanted to soak. I dont want my natural nails damaged. While soaking she said she had an appointment coming in, could someone else do my new set. I said sure. She sat me back in the waiting area. I waited 1 hour and 52 minutes and Dina said we dont have time to do your full set.... meanwhile, I went to pay for my daughter and she tried to charge me for the soak off, full set and my daughters nails. $142.67.... this place was awful but has got even worse then the last time I was there.I had hopes that they were just going through a bad spell. There service is just awful. This place isnt worth the trip.I will scream from the roof tops to find somewhere else to get your nails done. Its not worth the aggravation and the awful customer service. Its not a wonder they cant keep staff. Dina has become so rude with the customers. She stood there the whole time when she could have done my set before she said we dont have time.Theyre are far better places to go with better prices, service and far more talented techs.We left. I took my business somewhere else.DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FIND A DIFFERENT SALON.Ive been going here for years. My last few visits have been horrible. My nails are crooked, very thin and when I said something the girl that did them and the owner were very put out. Its been 1 week and I have to get them redone. Ive never had this problem before. I wont be going back. Very sad because this was always my favorite salon and I wouldnt go anywhere else.
I always have a great experience at Hollywood Star Nails. The owners are always professional and give great customer service. The nail techs are talented and trendy. Jane is my personal favorite! She is meticulous and always makes my experience personalized. Id definitely recommend Hollywood Star Nails!
I went here about 3 weeks ago had a fill and had no problems with my nails before coming here, while the nail tech was doing my nails she suggested I soak my nails in acetone mind you this acetone did not look like it had been changed all day, I even asked her are you sure it looks dirty and she said yes, so I did it thinking well it’s acetone so I assumed it killed any germs that have been In there I don’t know though ? After 2 weeks I went somewhere else to get a fill and while the nail tech was taking off my old set we noticed that I had half a nail on my middle finger and no nail bed. And also on my left thumb the nail bed was starting to disappear I am not sure I possibly have a fungus infection or what but it’s very disappointing because I love getting my nails done and now I cannot because I have no nail bed and I got charged somewhat a lot.
I went to this place some time ago. I still remember my terrible experience. The lady who did my nails had a thick accent which I have nothing against. I asked her to repeat her question and received a reply with a lot of attitude. Then she proceeded to laugh at me with her co-worker. I even gave her a decent tip. The gel nails I got started to fade within 2 days. I could’ve done a better job at home. It was a total waste of money and ruined my salon experiences. I haven’t gone to get my nails done since.
I can’t believe they charge $47 dollars for a basic mani/pedi. When paying they seem to add a double tax and also force you to tip the nail tech in cash. Two days after my services all of my nail polish completely peeled off. I’m on vacation and what an inconvenience. My nails last longer when I paint them myself. I would not recommend.
I have been going to this salon for years. They treat their customers like family. Their service is amazing, pedicure chairs are the best, clean, they care about their customers and treat everyone the same. The best part, they take appointments - So if you dont want to wait, because they are always busy, make an appointment! Cant say enough about Hollywood Star Nails! They are the best!
I have been going there for many years as well as most of my family/friends. Henry does my nails and Chris does my toes. Henry is not only fast but his work is flawless. Chris gives THE BEST pedicures. I have NEVER had an issue with either of them. Exceptional work. I always make an appointment and rarely do I have to wait. Sometimes things cost extra because I ask for something special. I expect that and they have always been upfront about it. I would highly recommend Hollywood Star Nails!
I love holly wood nails!! I’ve been coming here for years & I’ll never go to another place to get my nails done! I always get the dip powder now that they have it & I love it! All of the nail techs are amazing & have such a great relationship with their clients! The front desk ladies are awesome as well!
I visited this salon about 2 weeks ago, my experince wasnt the worst but it wasnt the greatest neither. I usually do not go outside of my salon, but I recieved a gift card for christmass from one of the regulars that visit the salon, so I took advantage and walked in. I did not have to wait long, they took me straight back to get a pedi, my ladys name was Jane, she was awesome, but for a 50$ pedi i expected a massage on the legs which didnt happen, she just wrapped them twice with a towel, but since the towels were a nice relief I did not complain. She was supposed to do my full set of dips but a client of hers came in, so she handed me off to Henry the Owener. She did not tell Henry that I wanted nail art so he did not do any art on my nails, he was super fast, like basically throwing my fingers one by one and moving on to the next quickly, I mentioned to him a few times that he was going to fast, and he laughed and started talking to the guy next to him in a language that wasnt english, he totally ignored my statement and kept going. My nail tips were slanted and and all off shape, I figured after he buffed them that they would be straight and all the same length and widith. But sadly it was not! I still have these nails on, I can post a picture of my pinky nails and one looks skinny and the other is wide!!! Also Dips are not the set to get, the paint or powerder what ever it is, doesnt cover the whole nail, the sides will be missing color. So once he completed and I went to pay, jane greeted me at the front and I told her thank you, but that I didnt get what i wanted, so she asked me if she could fix it, and I said yes, even though I was already to leave, I went to her stand, she took the top coat off of my nails, and drew some hearts on my nails for valentines day, applied the top coat again, and then I was finally ready to leave, of but she still charged me for the nail art which was their mistakes! Im in the service industry so I still tipped Jane 15$, of which she couldnt recieve on a credit card, it had to be Cash apped. Lets just say, i wont be returning.
I’ve been going there for years for my nails. Went in yesterday for a pedicure, which I only get those maybe once or twice a years. I pointed to the service I wanted. The $45 one, go to check out and they charged me $60. Well apparently the technician did the wrong pedicure and I was still forced to pay for the higher one. I really didn’t know the difference between the different options so I had no idea she was doing the wrong one. I tried talking to them and even though she messed up I was still forced to pay the higher one. I’ve never had an issue there before but I also will only see one certain nail technician. but it seems like if there’s an issue they aren’t very customer service friendly.
It was my first time here everyone was very polite. I just had a total knee replacement surgery 30 days ago. When it was time for me to get up and leave I couldnt get myself up. The owner, another gentlemen and a young lady, along with my B.F. helped me up to my feet. I call that good customer service. I was so embarrassed and everyone was like dont worry about it. My nails look FANTASTIC. I will be going back.
Today was my first time attending this salon and it was just awful. My nails look terrible! They are off centered, they are round and pudgy and one of my nails is nowhere near the shape of almond which I had asked for. Instead, half of my nail is slanted and looks like the slope of a mountain. Worst acrylics I’ve ever had. The coloring isn’t even all the way down to the cuticle. It really is true about this place, they only care about their usual customers but give no care to their walk ins. I will never be going again and it seems I’m out of luck on getting a refund as someone else commented with the same problems. Petty and unprofessional.
I always get the best service here! The staff is always so nice and accommodating. There prices are very affordable which is rare compared to other salons. Not to mention, it is always extremely clean!!! I always recommend this place to anyone looking to get their nails done.
My daughter’s and I have been coming here for years. I cannot say enough how great everyone is. Bea and Dina along with all the other nail techs are amazing! Never a wait, always friendly and the prices are very affordable. Cannot recommend Hollywood Star Nails enough.❤️💗
Definitely a place to hang out for your nails done. They provide plenty of services. Especially dipping powder with many colors to choose from a plethora of brands. Their prices are reasonable compared to other chains. I love how they do their pedis with liners, for extra sanitation purposes. They have many scents for sugar scrubs. Place is very clean. I highly recommend overall.
Always get a fantastic pedicure here. Their prices are lower than other salons doing pedicures in the area. It only takes 2 or 3 times of being a regular where they know you by name. Funny how almost every negative review is by a fake name or a user name and all the great reviews are by full names. Don’t buy into the BS, this place is great.
This is the best nail salon I have ever been. Many times I have called last minute and they get me in. Although I usually always make an appointment. I have had many of the technicians do my nails/toes and everyone does a great job. This place deserves 5 stars and the new place is beautiful! Thanks Hollywood!
I was recommended to check out this place because I am constantly getting my nails done. I was told that it was a great place the workers are nice and they do a amazing job. According to other comment it seems that many people agree. When I called to schedule an appointment I was put on hold for a little over 10 mins then they hung up on me with out even asking if I was still there. I was and still am very upset and Im completely turned off from going there now.
I will never visit this professional salon for any nail services after the poor customer experience received!! This salon considers popping off a method to remove acrylic nails--- ever tried popping off acrylic nails?!?! Its wedging a fake nail between the real nail and acrylic nail which then leads to the acrylic nail ripping layers off the real nail and ruining the nail bed for future applications of acrylic nails. I called the manager on my younger cousins behalf and was met with defensiveness and deflection of what occurred. I have pictures too, of the damage caused and still the manger was unprofessional in handling the issue. Instead of resolving the issue and granting the request to refund the money, I was hung up on 5 times!!! I was told by the receptionist that the manager doesnt have time to explain herself and continued to talk over me. I explained, I didnt call to argue nor did I need her argumentative explanation, I wanted my cousins money refunded. I was rushed off the phone because they couldnt own up to awful service received. The nails are damaged, severally ripped and had to be glued to prevent bleeding (by the technician). I expected to have a civil phone call with the manager, owning her process and being apologetic for the terrible and painful outcome. Instead the complete opposite was received. How unprofessional and to be hung up on 5 times without care, is a business that only cares about their bottom line and not the welfare of their clients. This is truly unfortunate!!! This level of treatment gives other nail salons a bad name and makes the GOOD ones work harder to fix the awful work previously done.--- My cousin went into the salon and the manager continued to support her method of removing nails. She looked at the RIPPED nails and said nothing is wrong!!!! TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! After 15 minutes of arguing, the manager finally returned the money.
I have been a customer at Hollywood Star Nails for many years and I will continue to use this clean, comfortable and friendly salon. I have a regular technician, but due to an immediate need or a vacation, etc. I have had services with many different techs over the years and they have all been professional and concerned that I am happy with the service. I recommend this business!
This is the only salon I will go to. Clean and updated. Professional, quick and reasonably priced for nails, pedicures and waxing. I am always getting compliments on my nails and always recommend making an appointment as they are a very reputable salon and always busy. I go to Dina. :-)
I love this place. But I had a bad experience the other day on my vist. I brought my friend we both got full sets & pedis. We were there for 2 hours, no biggie. But Dina was rude to my friend when asked to fix nails because she did not like them.. also she had to wait behind 2 people once nails were finished to get her pedi which is not fair if she was there first. And two of her nails just came right off 2 days after
Fantastic place with great atmosphere, very clean and very professional. I had a little complaint about my last trip there and Dina told me shes the owner and come straight to her with any problems. I will keep coming back for sure! Just a word of advice: make an appointment or youll wait for a while! Its easy to get an appointment, too!
My mother is and has neen a loyal customer, for many years. She treated me to a mani/pedi at some point and I loved the friendly staff and quality service. Fast forward to present, I am a professional and keep my nails beautifully done regularly by Chi Chi. She is Phenomenol at her craft! Not to mention the gorgeous updated enviornment,latest products and most important: I leave happy and feel like my money is well-spent.
Got dip nails on Friday. The liquid was applied incorrectly touching my cuticles. By Monday, my nails started lifting at the cuticle area. Dip is supposed to last for weeks.Also, they failed to dispose of used nail files, buffers. From my understanding, it’s a health code violation to use instruments on multiple people without properly sanitizing between customers. Tools such as a nail files that cannot be sanitized should be disposed of after one person. The nail files they used on me were filthy and my technician had a hard time finding a spot on the filer to actually file my nails.
Horrible! Got dip.... lasted a week? Went to get it off, they charged me $10 for it after paying $40 less than a week ago. Nail person was rough, and grinned my nails and left my natural nails (with dip still on I had to chip off myself at home) all scratched up and weak/flimsy. It’s been 3weeks and nails are still growing out
I have never had a bad experience here, I have been coming here since I was in high school & today the lady who did my nails did a horrible job. They are sloppy and she said she was going to shape my nails and my toenails and I got in my car and had to do it myself. If I come back, I WON’T be seeing her.
The staff is veru meanThey do a quick and hasty job. All the care os how many clients they do at the end of the day. They are very good and friendly with there regular clients but not paying attention to new walk in clients. This is my third experience there and ever time thwy do a quick and bad jodThe polich is never done well on the sides. I would not recommend to anyone only go if uou jave no other option.
2019 update: Ive been coming here for a decade and the service is not what it used to be. The girl who answers the phone is terribly unprofessional, the service is rushed when you pay for full service not Express. Sadly Ill be taking my business elsewhere now.2013: love this place... they are my go to for my acrylics! every manicurist there is great
I told them that I wanted a signature manicure with regular polish and she talked to me about gel, so I agreed to getting gel but I still wanted the signature manicure but she ended up just giving me gel polish with nothing else and she made them really thick and lumpy, I even confronted her about it and she wouldn’t do anything about it she said that that’s how it was supposed to be, and I’ve had gel done before and I know for a fact that they are not supposed to be lumpy and thick

2022-04-15If you are in search of a good nail salon and an amazingly great nail tech…look no further. I’ve been here twice and both times completely happy with how well my nails came out and they do not overcharge for their services. This time I had nail art done with a gel manicure and Briahana is totally one of THE best nail techs I have been to (and I’ve been in search of a good one for awhile now)…she’s very detailed, artistic, and I can’t say enough how overly satisfied I am with her. She’s definitely one the best hard to come by nail artist ♥️

2022-02-03I *USED* to go to Hollywood Star regularly for gel polish, dip nails, pedicures, etc. After I was treated rudely by Dina, I stopped going there for quite some time and after about a year I decided to give them another try. On and off I was still treated rudely, but decided to not let it get under my skin. I ALWAYS made appointments and was on time or early 99% of the time…there was one time that I was late (like 5 minutes) and received rude/passive aggressive comments from Dena - yet they are consistently late for your appointment by 20-30+ minutes with zero acknowledgment that the customer had to wait or let alone an apology.My husband purchased a gift card for me to treat myself so I called and made an appointment near Christmas to get my nails done. When I made the appointment I explained that I wanted ombré gel polish and a paraffin treatment - I was told that would be an hour and a half appointment - no problem I was off of work anyway and I was treating myself. I got there and waited for my appointment for over 30 minutes - again zero acknowledgment or apology for the wait. When it was finally time for me to get my nails done I showed the tech what I wanted - nothing fancy or complicated. It was a total disaster and looked terrible - it was all I could do to keep from crying they were so awful. I calmly and politely told the tech I did not like it and to please take it off - that was a problem - sighing and eye rolls. She then said she couldn’t do what I wanted (I specifically asked when I made the appointment to make sure the tech could do ombré and was told she could). I then asked what COULD she do? She ended up painting my nails white with glitter - not at all what I wanted or asked for. Oh yeah, and the paraffin treatment? Never happened. At that point I didn’t even care - I just needed to get out of there. I went to my car and cried because I was so mad and frustrated and hated my nails.I did have another appointment booked and from the parking lot called to cancel it. The receptionist did ask why and I said because I hated my nails and would never be back and the response was “okay, your appointment is canceled”.I’m sure Dina will have some smart remark for my review, but potential customers should read the reviews - common denominator is Dina and her terrible attitude and customer service.Below are photos of what I wanted/asked for vs. what I got.

2022-07-05The best pedicure I ever had. Others I received somewhere else were great, but my first time here. So much cleaner where I was going. Hadnt had a pedicure since the pandemic. Current place at the mall was dirty now, but still good people there. After coming to Hollywood Nails, I can say I will return. Very busy here 😊 I see why. Thanks

2022-09-09Johnny! Great service, kind, talkative, understood the times when I needed to relax - took the time to get my nails to benefit me - and understood my small nail beds. I didnt feel odd when different languages were being spoken so I didnt feel like it was about me. I will be coming back to this location - I enjoyed the Johnny - the front desk young lady was ok - and the rest of the staff was super nice. The location is clean and reasonably priced. Always busy so they must be doing something right! I will be returning and will be a long time customer.

2022-09-08I had a gel manicure 1 week ago. The day after my thumb chipped, but I didnt have time for a repair because I was going out of town for a wedding. Now today most of the nails lifted around the cuticles/edges. It was rough and got caught of everythung. It peeled completely off when I tried to smooth the edges. Nuu was my nail tech.This also happened with my last gel mani.

2022-03-22I got my nails did last Friday on February 28th, by the 2nd, The color on my nails is turning brown due to the fact that they use awful products. I asked for a small cut down and gel polish fill in. The man who did my service cut my nails so short and filed them so unevenly they couldn’t even be fixed. I need a new set now because he botched my nails so bad! I repeatedly told him I didn’t like them and he seemed to get fed up with me. All over the salon is warnings towards the customers saying that they will not give refunds. So they know they have terrible products and do awful work so they’re telling you to basically come at your own risk.When I first started coming to this establishment it was very good I went to a nice girl named Brianna who did fabulous work and took her time. She’s hard to book which is understandable since she does good work. I’d recommend her.Though the people that own this salon, they have no care or integrity. They are money hungry and don’t care to treat you right or do a good job on your service.This is the 2nd time this has happened to me from this establishment and believe me there will not be a third. This place is complete garbage.

2022-05-18Not very happy. The man I had was very distracted with his phone an personal stuff. So he wasn’t professional an focused on his task. He was very nice an had a sense of humor but didn’t do my nails the way I asked for. I wanted white, black an blue ombré nails but I got white an blue ombré with gems on my nails, Including that fact I also wanted almond shaped nails an he completely rounded my nails an took off the length I wanted them so they were nothing remotely what I asked for. He was having a very rough day and was focused on personal matters. He’s a good tech I would like to say, it was my first time there so maybe I was very unlucky an got him on a bad day. But I’m not happy with how my nails turned out.

2022-05-04I got my nails filled and at first I loved them, but then I noticed I had bubbly spots all over my nails so I said something and he fixed them, not a big deal. Then I got a pedicure and he literally hurt me the whole time, I was saying ouch nonstop. Then I looked down and my toe was bleeding and literally wouldn’t stop. He didn’t say sorry or anything or compensate. I have a cut on my toe you can see and my pedicure looks bad and some of my toes are in pain. I just kind of thought he was rude and I’ve never been to a place where I’ve been physically hurt from a pedicure before.
