★ THE SALON ★
Old-world precision. South-OC pricing.
Gold Star has been on the El Toro side of Lake Forest since 2014 and has run with the same four technicians since 2018. We work slow on purpose — the prep before the polish is most of why your set holds for three weeks.
Specialty here is hand-pressed gold leaf, beaded chrome foil, and french-with-a-twist — pearl tips, micro-ombré, line-art. Bring a reference image and we will plan the design in the chair before any color goes down.
Open seven days. Saturday afternoon is the busy one — call ahead or come at ten when the door opens.

"The hand-pressed gold leaf design they did for my anniversary still has not chipped at three weeks. The technicians at Gold Star are real artists and they price like a neighborhood salon."

"Booked our wedding party in for pearl french. Four sets, two hours, four happy guests, and the bride's nails matched the silk of the dress exactly."

"Came in nervous about how detailed the foil art would be. The technician sketched the design on paper before touching the gel and we ended up with art that I would frame if I could."
