    I called ahead for a walk-in pedicure before an upcoming trip, as I was in a bit of a time crunch. While I don't mind having a male technician, I was a bit surprised -- he wasn't rude, just very direct in his manner. That said, I was concerned about the overall sanitation standards in the salon. The space felt unclean: towels were worn and fraying, disposable tools like nail buffers and files appeared to be reused, and the chairs had visible dust and stains. The shop itself has a lot of potential -- it's charming, but definitely needs a deep cleaning and an updated sanitation protocol in line with what we're taught in esthetics school. It would also be great to see some younger staff who are more in touch with current trends and client expectations. I don't believe I'll be returning. It's a bit of shame but if you are the owners reading this, you could be busier with a little more care and love. Good luck

    I always come back here after trying other places because it is a couple who work here and run the place. It's homey, you feel like you are home and they will hook you up. Saturday's are my Me days and I will drive towards Kapolei, call here and he always says, come in! I know I'll have to wait, but it's never too long. Come check them out !!

    Just recently moved to the area and was looking for a nice place to do my pedis on a regular basis. Did some research and this place is less than 10 mins from my house! WIN! Even more so that they have a special going on for $19.99...DOUBLE WIN! I always passed this complex, but never knew what it's called but now I do LOL...it's in the West Commercial Plaza, by Nanding's Bakery off Farrington Hwy. They were able to accomodate me at last minute. Made my appointment for around 4pm on a Saturday. There was only 1 other person there. My tech was good. Was a little rough with the cutting of the cuticles part and made me flinch a couple times, but nothing that I'm not use to. Did a good job overall and will certainly be back again!

    The hours on yelp are wrong for some reason. They close at 7pm on weekdays and 5pm on sundays. We had a 1pm appointment but there was a big family who came in right before so they actually started on us at 1:30. Tina was very sweet, thorough, and communicative! Extra TLC with everything she did. Long pedi massage and very precise. Will come back

    Not my photo but this is the photo I showed the nail tech for what I wanted. This is from another reviewer of Ami's salon.

    Gel manicure and regular pedicure disappointment!!! Pro in all this: They took us on time for the reservation I made. (Idk if it's normal for them but shop was empty) Cons: My sister and I made an appointment here because the reviews were not bad kinda a hit or miss but I like to take my chances and am hopeful that I'd have a good experience. Unfortunately big mistake. There was an older man who did my sisters nails and she was not happy at all. He didn't ask her what she wanted besides the color. I don't have photos of her nails but they are lumpy, thick, and disturbing! I watched him paint her nails horizontally with the brush instead of a traditional vertical paint stroke. She definitely was upset that I chose this place. Will she ever go again? No. Did she tip? Yes. My experience was different. Not a good different either. I don't know my nail techs name but she was short, wore glasses, and on the older side. I specifically told her I get ingrown toenails so please do not cut them too short. She didn't listen and an hour later my toes were so sore because the pressure of my nail was cutting into my skin which I was trying to prevent!!! She wasn't all bad seemed like she wanted to be friendly but she just seemed almost lazy?! Like I was an inconvenience because I showed her a photo of a nail style/color I wanted. From the moment I got there she said "yes I can do it" once I sat down and she was getting ready she changed her mind to "it won't look exactly 100%" to "we don't do that here" (I got the photo inspo from their yelp page!!!) to "idk how to do that only the girl that used to work here knows" in my head I'm like great this isn't gonna end well... She decided to try it anyways. The nail prep was painful. She cut my skin all hamajang and so I was left bleeding around my cuticles. She had a spray bottle of alcohol that she sprayed 6 different times maybe even more on those tiny knicks which hurt so much I had to tell her to stop. The color I was going for was a purple holographic color. Tell me why she painted my nail BLACK and put chrome over it???? ‍‍‍ I told her forget it and to just paint it a solid color which annoyed her cause she was still trying to convince me that the black with chrome was practically the same as holographic. she left the black nail polish on and painted the rest of my nails with the new color. Before she seals it all with the clear coat she decided to remove the black gel with a dremel. The chrome powder and the black paint flew on to my other nails and without cleaning it off first, she decides to continue and finish the nails by adding the clear coat. I now have black specks and bumps in my nails. She was gonna leave left over black polish under my nail until I asked her to remove it. Her own nails were not maintained which should've been a sign. It had missing old polish or none at all with jagged nail tips which she kept scratching me with. She tried fixing the mistakes she made but in a very lazy attempt by scrubbing my nails with a nail filer and spraying with alcohol instead of just doing it right by removing that layer and repainting it. I was in there for over an hour and just wanted the torture to end already. I wanted to like this place but I would NOT come back and although I didn't want to tip her at all I still left something. She also blamed me saying I chose gel polish so that's why she had to cut my cuticle like that (all my years of doing nails whether regular polish or gel it was just a standard procedure to have my cuticles cut) but she butchered it. Then told me not to look to close to my nails so that I don't see the black specks!

    Ty is my go to nail technician! He's so efficient and meticulous in his work. I always schedule an appointment ahead of time normally the day of. Ami's are very affordable. I have no idea how the other nail techs are, but I would recommend Ty. Great work for affordable price. Fast and efficient. Located in Waipahu by Don Quiote, the little side shopping center. Free parking. Air Conditioned. Short Wait, would recommend making an appointment though. Will be back :)

    Middle finger is the issue finger looks okay top side, not great just ok.

I felt like I could have a genuine fun conversation with my nail tech/manicurist hence why I kept coming back. I got close to Tina and Tony who basically watched me grow up and have been serviced by Janet and Coco who are also amazing. After COVID, this place pushed the "business" aspect. Everything felt rushed and at times it feels like the workers felt unhappy or stressed. They added more chairs and more staff making this place feel more cramped than ever. I continue to come back because I appreciate the service Tina and Tony continues to do for me after the many years I have been coming here. If it was not for them, I probably would have found a new nail place and new nail tech/manicurist. I typically do gel pedicures and occasional gel manicures. I like their online booking system. Sometimes my appointment time is honored and other times they are so busy that I wait about 10-15 minutes until it is my turn despite scheduling an appointment in advance. Do I recommend this place? I recommend Tina and Tony. If you are looking for a place to relax and be at peace, this is not the place for you. If you are on the go and wanting to "get in and get out" then this place would definitely be your vibe.

There are many, many Techs so I'm sure getting seen wouldn't be an issue if you're looking for something last minute. There's a 3% CC surcharge, so bring cash if you'd like. They do have a "rewards" program which I thought was neat.
