The Studio
A nail artist, not just a nail tech
Some salons paint nails. Star treats each set like a small canvas. Clients come to the New Center / Milwaukee Junction studio with an inspiration photo — and leave with that exact design on their hands, down to the details.
The studio specializes in builder gel and Gel-X — modern systems that keep natural nails strong under beautiful sets — alongside sculpted acrylic and hand-done nail art. Every visit is by appointment, so it's just you, good conversation, and unhurried, professional work.

Good to Know
Questions, answered
How do I book an appointment?
Book online through Booksy or send a DM to @starthenailartist on Instagram. The studio is by appointment only.
Where is the studio?
110 Harper Ave in Detroit's New Center / Milwaukee Junction area (48202). The exact suite number is texted to you after you book — part of what keeps the studio private and personal.
Can you recreate my inspo pic?
Yes — that's the specialty. Send the photo when you book or bring it to your appointment, and Star will execute it on your set. Nail art on 6+ nails adds $20 to your service.
What is builder gel, and why do people love it?
Builder gel is a thicker, self-leveling gel applied over your natural nail for strength and structure. It's ideal if your nails chip or break easily, and it wears longer than regular gel polish. A builder gel manicure here is $60.
How much will my set cost?
Menu prices start at $50 for a gel manicure, $75 for short Gel-X, and $80 for a short acrylic full set. Longer lengths and detailed art vary — DM @starthenailartist with your inspo pic for a quote.
Do you take walk-ins?
No — everything is by appointment, which is exactly why every review mentions unhurried, personal service. Grab a slot on Booksy.
