Super Star Nails & Spa

I’ve been going here for years, but then had a painful pedicure last year. I decided to give them another chance and just made an appointment. They generally do a good job for a long-​lasting pedi, and tons of polish to choose from. I don’t know if it might be the owner’s mother, but there is one technician who cut too short and on the side of my big toe. The unexpected loud «OUCH» did not change her technique. Hurt for a week. My friend told me after that she had also been hurt by this same woman. This time, although embarrassing, I asked for an appointment but NOT with the older woman. (They don’t all have name tags.) I hope it goes well. A pedicure is a treat, and shouldn’t cause apprehension! Also, since they raised their prices, it would be nice for them to spend a bit more time with each customer — especially on the sugar scrub and massage!

Manicures = great
Pedicures = amazing
So glad I found this place. Treated my friend for a mani/​pedi for her birthday and she absolutely loved it as well!

Fantastic shop that provides great service! I went here for the first time for a pedicure a couple of months ago and it lasted over a month with no chipping. I took my mom a couple of weeks ago and she says it’s the best pedicure she’s had in Austin. Looks great, no chipping at all for either of us. They also do nice massages that feel wonderful. Hours are convenient too. Thanks Unilocal for steering me here!

In town on business but will come back next time for maybe both a mani and pedi!!! Wow! As a walk-​in, I was treated superb! Took their time and the manicure I received was spectacular. Even included paraffin wax! I had acrylic on and they carefully soaked them off rather than ripping them off like some other places I’ve been. I went with shellac this time. They were not rushed and did a quality job. Plus the price was right :)

I have been going here for years with great service but the last 3 times I have been I was less then satisfied. I have asked for nail art and they have forgotten I wanted it and done the top coat. I have asked for a cut down and they said they were too short already when they were no where near short. I think they just don’t want business anymore. They will not get me back for a 4 try.

I called ahead to see if they could fit me in for a fill… I know acrylic nails are pretty tacky, but I got them for a wedding in June and have just kept it up because it is sooo easy and my real nails don’t grow out well. There is no maintenance except visiting the salon every 2– 3 weeks which usually a nice treat. So, I’ve been regularly going to one salon across town and love them, but today I looked to Unilocal for somewhere in the ‘hood.
It was bustling with patrons getting their pedi on. I ended up getting a tech who I can only assume is as new as they come. All the other techs passing by were looking over her shoulder. That also could have been the livid look on my face.
So, I had waited a little over the usual timeframe to get a fill, and had one cracked, and 3 peeling slightly off. This has happened before and at my other salon, they are super gentle at taking them off. No. Not here, she ripped them off in one swoop using a nail from her box. My regular place does that but they also use clippers to alleviate ripping them off. It was really painful. I winced… a bunch. This is where I should have just gotten up and left. She said she was sorry, but still did 2 more the same way. She wanted me to take them all off and start over, but it isn’t necessary. Um, hell no because that hurts! She also had rude mannerisms of moving my hands and telling me to relax them… every 5 seconds! They were relaxed most of the time, surprisingly, so it seemed like she didn’t have much experience with customers. In the end, my nails are all somewhat uneven and the polish was also on my skin. I also had to apply more topcoat at home to get the shine I wanted. :/​
Money wasted and relaxing treat, it was not. Won’t be back! No thanks!

The technique was good but the massage was short. On the plus side, my nails look great!

Super Star Nails seems to always be busy, but we’ve never waited more than a few minutes. Service is good and consistent. Employees are friendly. We go regularly, about every 3 weeks for mani/​pedis.

$ 60 for a basic pedi and a shellac manicure with paraffin. NT paid close attention while painting my nails and toes and they are perfect! Only reason that it’s not a 5 star is the massage was a shorter then some other salons in the area. Thought there pedicure chairs were really comfortable and gave a good massage (I usually hate the massager chairs!).

Super reasonable prices for mani and pedi at this local place. Nail stylists are nice and the facility is average.

I was in desperate need of getting nails maintainanced with SNS nail system. I love the SNS nail system but not many nails salons do not offer this sevice. KaLi was my manicurist and she did a fantastic job. She took her time and was very detailed. The price was reasonable and the location is ver convenient. I will definitely be back!

A great salon that I randomly stumbled upon, when I had a little bit of time to kill. It seems that the same was true for a few other reviewers, so definitely in a good location. Conveniently located near lots of stuff. The only draw back to the location is that you may end up shuffling on over to epoch coffee or some other nearby restaurant in those pedicure foam slippers, for fear of messing up your nails.
Overall a clean salon, good selection of nail polishes and magazines. My $ 35 deluxe pedi was totally worth it! But make sure you budget enough time, there are so many pampering steps.
And the polish job was really good quality. My toes look great a week later, even after a few runs and lots of yoga sessions. I would highly recommend coming here!

Very very VERY pleased! I got «shellac» done at Barton about 5 days ago and it was chipping horribly already so I soaked them off and decided to try out this place bc I had seen some somewhat good reviews on here. Le did my nails (shellac) and let me tell you, she did her thing!!! My nails look GREAT! I’ve been to so many nail shops where the paint job has sucked but she made sure the paint was perfect and my hands and cuticles were soft and smooth. Will definitely be coming back they are amazing!!!

I usually go some place else to do my nails, but I decided to go here since it was nearby the location I was at for lunch time. It was very clean, the staff was friendly, & my nails look great! The only thing I didn’t like was that it was $ 40 to get a shellac full set fill, & $ 45 to get a whole new set. I was expecting it to be cheaper since the nail was in good condition, all they had to do was fill, & repaint it. Aside from the off pricing, Lee, the manager, did a very good job! I may possibly be coming back in the near future.

I just chose this place when I was visiting the area because it is close to where my brother lives. It turned out to be the best full set I have ever had! The gal who did them was such a perfectionist. I went in the middle of the day so there was no rush, but she also didn’t take very long to finish. Over a week later now, you can hardly tell where they are growing out :) I LOVE them. Not to mention the color options are to die for. I highly recommend this place for a full set.

GREAT experience! I’m not one to have constant nail appointments because I rather do them myself. This time I decided to come in and have the professionals do it. So glad I did. For $ 60 I got a classic pedi and a shellac mani (included was leg massage & scrub w/​hot stones, arm massage, and a wax moisturizing peel for hands). I was expecting all this to be a lot more $$ but it was very reasonable. I walked in immediately after they opened– 930 and left just before 11. I will certainly be coming back again!

Most rushed, impersonal pedicure I’ve ever had. Then, when she was done she directed me to the dryer, and ran off, only to show up after I got myself situated to say, «You pay me now». Also noticed polish on my skin after I left. Not impressed. Won’t be back.

I went here with my sister a while back to get manicures. A lady did mine and a guy did my sister‘s…and the lady cut my cuticle and it started bleeding! It hurt when she started putting alcohol on it but at least she muttered an apology. The nails were not terrible but I did not like them and the bloody cuticle looked awful. I went to get pretty nails and I got an awful bloody cuticle. So I wasted money to get a bloody cuticle. Woohoo.
The guy who did my sister‘s nails was horrific. The painted nails were very bumpy and not
looked like she painted them herself… actually she could do better job. The nail polish leaked out to the sides of the
was slightly discolored. Not sure if it is old nail polish or his bad skills.
These workers were very chit-​chatty with their co-workers.talking and laughing non-stop.That‘s nice they have happy environment among workers but it makes me feel like they are not concentrating. hence the bad results.
Sadly wasted money. I won‘t be returning.

This place isn’t too bad for what it is and you can usually get a walk in appointment during the day. It seems to get VERY busy after 4pm!
For the MOST part the staff is friendly, but Superstar Nail Spa is the same tacky interior one would expect of these places. I found the prices reasonable.
Ultimately I stopped going here because the last two technicians wouldn’t stop coughing, sneezing, and spit into the sink we use to wash our hands and their wait times are too long in the late afternoon.
I ended up finding a place nearby I like much better.

Excellent service, cleanliness, friendly staff, great prices! I’ve been coming here once a week, every week for years now for mani and pedi and won’t go anywhere else. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience. And they are diligent about cleanliness and that’s a necessity as far as I’m concerned. Lee normally does my nails, but I’ve also used Kim and both are very good. Kim also does my wax. I’m a perfectionist and my eyebrows have always been perfect after she’s done them… she also waxed my teenage granddaughter’s eyebrows and told me, «Gran, I feel so pretty».
Try these guys if you haven’t already… they won’t disappoint you!

I’m going to make this simple: Superstar Nail & Spa is the Chipot… errr, the Walmart of nail salons.
— The parking lot can be scary. Between the Cover 2 and the Alamo, parking can be a problem.
— The prices are good, comparatively. I got the deluxe pedicure with the «HEB produce bags filled with scalding hot wax» treatment, for the price of some places’ regular pedi. My tootsies and nails ended up softer and gleaming, but the shape of the nails could have been done a little more carefully.
— It gets a little hectic on a Saturday afternoon. There were a dozen or more techs running around. The one who took care of me went to the next person so quickly, I didn’t know who/​how to pay. And what looked to be repeat customers were annoyed at being told of a 20 minute wait.
— It’s not the cleanest place in the world. If I was more an expert on these things, I might have been skeeved.
— It has coin-​operated rides out front. Well, massaging seats actually that don’t require coins. Those can be fun, but the girl that took the seat after me thought the chair was broken, as the controller was cracked and not responding to her button pushes. Might be time for some repairs/​replacements.
When I’m in a pinch, I still stop by Walmart. Though I usually don’t feel great about it. But for my pedicures (oh man, did I just say that?) I’m still looking for the place I want to establish a relationship with, even if it’s a couple dollars more. Superstar may be showing its age…
