About 5 Star Nails
On Dr. M.L.K. Jr Blvd in New Bern, 5 Star Nails is a nail salon that takes walk-ins rather than scheduled appointments. Clients arrive without booking ahead and are seen at the counter as chairs become available. The salon opens daily, giving flexibility to visitors who need a slot outside a typical weekday schedule. Its walk-in format suits both regulars and people passing through New Bern who want service without planning around a fixed reservation time. The daily hours mean the salon is an option across the full week, including weekends, for anyone seeking nail care on short notice.

Customer Review Summary
Pedicures draw the most mention, and reviewers split sharply on them. One says a pedicure after a year without one was the best they have had, and another credits a technician with caring for sensitive skin that bruises easily. Gel nails are called a work of art, and a regular says the acrylics don't pop off and the polish goes on in even layers. One reviewer describes a technician who kept pressure off natural nails while filing, then massaged and oiled the cuticles. Others note a friendly atmosphere and no wait on a first visit. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says a French tip came out sloppy and was only partly corrected after going back. Another says a pedicure got worse across two visits with the same technician. A third describes a technician more focused on a phone and coffee cup than on the client, who pushed back on a manicure-only request after acrylic removal. Another was turned away for a single thumbnail repair and told to go to Kinston.
