So I know that stars have habitable zones where, when you get to a certain distance, a planet within this zone is in a comfortable position to host life. But do all stars have this habitable zone or does the certain nature of stars get rid of the possibility of a habitable zone?

A habitable zone is just a distance from a star where a planet *could* have liquid water on its surface because it’s getting the right amount of light from its star. So yes, all stars have habitable zones, but for many other reasons, planets in those zones might not be able to support life. For example, the star could be a flare star that is unstable and periodically gives of large bursts of radiation that would kill all life on the planet.
