Quick info
About Star Nails
At 3 Main St in Winthrop, Star Nails is a nail salon offering dip nail sets, pedicures, waxing, and lashes on a walk-in basis. Pedicures include a massage, and the chairs used for them are new. The shop opens daily and accepts cash only, so customers should plan payment accordingly. Wait times can build during busier stretches since seating runs first come, first served, and stopping in earlier in the day may mean less time standing by. Between the dip sets and the lash and waxing services, the counter staff covers a fairly full range of routine nail and beauty needs for anyone passing through the area, all without needing to book a slot in advance.

Customer Review Summary
Dip nails draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers describing sets that last around three weeks and staff who help pick a style when a customer is unsure. Pedicures also earn mention, called relaxing and paired with a good massage, and several reviewers name individual techs they return to specifically. The shop is described as friendly and community-oriented, with reviewers noting it can get busy and suggesting calling ahead for an appointment. Complaints recur around durability and service breakdowns: one reviewer says nails shaped like "blocks" would not come off after a month, another describes a bachelorette set that didn't match a reference photo despite repeated feedback, and a refill was described as costly relative to the original service. One reviewer also raises a sanitation concern, describing hair on the floor and inconsistent use of required PPE shields at workstations. Longtime customers describe returning for years, citing specific stylists they trust for consistent results.

“I paid $130. I got my nails done two weeks ago not even two weeks ago a week and a half ago and my nail broke there’s another nail that’s about a break and they’re charging $60 just for a refill so if you have nails on and you want to …”

“There are many boxes you’d like to check when looking to trust a professional nail tech. Star Nails as an overall experience is excellent. The staff is kind,attentive, and knowledgeable. The space is always clean and well maintained. Tools are always sanitized and treated properly. Pricing is competitive. I never leave feeling disappointed with my results. There are plenty of talented nail techs to work with and you’ll find one who meshes with your preferred experience. The shop can get busy and if you don’t call ahead for an appointment you might have a short wait. I’ve seen customers come and go of all ages and genders with never a bad thing to say, it is quite magical to witness the happiness that is created day in and day out of here. Mei and her team cultivate real connections with repeat customers evolving your nail experience and helping to customize it too! While not all staff speak Conversational English they are always making an effort to satisfy your needs and work together to get you what you want. This shop takes pride in their work and the compliments you get show for it! They offer popular nail services,waxing, and lashes. It’s disappointing to see some of the negative reviews on here that are assumptions or outside of the control of the salon like personal upkeep. If you are looking for a change of place, place close to your new home/work, or just sick of not getting quality work done check out Star Nails!”
