Pink Star Nails - (Near Hackney, UK)

1 /5 Birsen Demirel: The worst nail salon I have ever visited. The man who did my pedicure was very rude. He was not gentle while he was doing my pedicure as it was painful. I tried to tell him verbally & ouching and showing where it was hurting and bleeding but no acknowledgement whatsoever. There was a bit of bleeding in my big right toe and had some pain in some of my toes afterwards which I never experienced after a pedicure. No English at all. When I tried to tell him that the colour in the catalogue and the colour he put on my nails did not match he got angry . He pushed his chair back and stood up in an aggressive manner pointing towards the nail polish on the wall. AVOID AVOID!!!!

1 /5 Louise Serjeant: Awful experience. Had a man do my nails, he cut 6 of my fingers with the electric drill and cuticle scissors and was shaping my nails differently to what I had asked for. I complained, switched to a woman who then made them too short, she told me there was no way to fix them. I left in that moment as there was no way I was going to pay for mishapen nails and the woman’s nails next to me looked horrendous, never seen acrylics so thick. Anyway, so I left and went to a rival shop up the road, she told me they regularly have to save customers who attend this shop and she refused to fix my nails, because the other shop had cut me and filed down my nails too much, she said I was at big risk of an infection because of the chemicals in the products. She could have not said anything and taken my money like they did. She removed them and advised me to leave until healed. Also staff spoke to each other the whole time, clearly gossiping about customers and don’t engage with their customers. I thought they were cheap because the decor wasn’t as nice as competitors, but the entire service is awful. It’s been 3 days and my nails are still sore. Pictures taken 3 days after.

1 /5 Rose: Terrible. its been a week and my nails beds are still so sore and ruined from being over-drilled way too carelessly. Awful hygiene - when soaking my acrylic nails off they used cotton pads that had clearly been used on a previous customer as they were soiled and covered in product... and then after using them on me she put them back in the box instead of throwing them away. so disgusting. AVOID. Its worth waiting for a spot to open up at a different pace nearby, as theres a reason why its almost always empty.

1 /5 SK SK: Terrible pedicure. The polish was old, lumpy, and applied way too thick. The top coat was smeared all over my skin, and my toes weren’t cleaned properly. I even had to guide him through the pedicure, which should never happen. To make it worse, he went for a smoke and came back without washing his hands very unhygienic. Overall, sloppy, unprofessional, and not worth the money.
