Star Nails Kerrisdale blends neighbourhood warmth with professional technique. The team focuses on clean tools, thorough cuticle work, balanced apex and sidewalls, and glass-shine topcoats that resist chips. Pedicures feel like a reset—soak, exfoliation and careful polish—while gel fills are paired with a true manicure (not just a speed buff) so colour lays even and lasts. Clients who wash hands often report no early lifting, and hard gel sets routinely carry people through three to four weeks between fills. Beyond nails, the studio also offers lash extensions and select hair services, making it a convenient stop for event prep.
