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

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 :)

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.

Cracked jokes and was patience. He's an artist for sure. He's great with suggestions and does exactly what you ask for. If you're getting some custom nails it's best to bring a photo for reference. For the work that he did I'm surprised how fast our appointment went. I'd say it took about an hour and 45 minutes, which is crazy for the detail on my nails. I love the music they played too, chill house electronic dance music. Shucks I don't live on island or else TK would have a new regular. But it's safe to say I will be back. Thank you Professionail! They for sure live up to their name.

I usually get the deluxe pedicure, which is $43 and costs an additional$5 for the callous removal. I love how soft the sugar scrub makes my legs and how clean everything feels!

Pedicure in Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Located in Westgate Center... in the same strip mall as Thelma's Filipino Restaurant... are two nail salons. Twinkle Nails & Spa is the newer salon. It's towards the end of the building. I looked at the first salon... it's older and had a lot of guys in there... because it has barber shop services, too. Hmmm... The young gal at Twinkle Nails & Spa was in the middle of an eyelash extension appointment. She said that no one was here to do pedicures and referred me to the older shop at the beginning of the building. I told her that I didn't feel comfortable there. She offered to call someone over from that shop to work here! Yes, please! Twinkle Nails & Spa seems like it has been renovated. It's bright, clean, and modern. It was a very enjoyable, peaceful experience! Thank you so much for letting me use your restroom, move my car closer, and lending me a towel since I got caught in the downpour! I really appreciate your calling another worker over to your shop to assist me!

Discovered this nail salon with my mum within the last year and it was pretty decent. Service and…read moreend results were great until my most recent appointment. Booked a 12:30pm appointment Saturday, September 5th. Waited almost 20 minutes until someone finally interacted with me and told me to head upstairs. As a business they should honor a booking or at the very least apologize for the wait. I let the tech (Helen) know that I'm now kind of in a rush since they took me later than my appointment time. Im not sure if things were lost in translation, but she took many pauses to converse and laugh with her coworker throughout the appointment. Even if I weren't in a rush, that is very unprofessional. The main reason I'm writing this review is because of the end result. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a gel x set should look a week old, right after getting them done. Helen placed the nails a significant amount away from my cuticles. She still put in the work, I still tipped her well for the services, but I was not impressed. I plan on giving this salon another chance because it was really great at first. I just hope they can be a little bit more cognizant about booking times and all their customers.

I've gone to locations that use 'bags' in the bowl and still got an infection. Sanitation is beyond the bowl, and I've had no issues at this location in 3 years now. -Price: Their price is industry standard and once they see you once or twice, they don't pressure you for add ons once they catch your vibe, budget, life story/lifestyle. -All the employees are very kind, even to my kids. -They play Food Network haha, it's honestly perfect to get me off my phone and relaxed in the moment, sometimes drifting for a 5 minute nap lol -The owners work there daily. They're humble and appreciative, explain pricing, and don't play games with your money which I appreciate a lot. Cash only tips or Venmo!

When I bring different nails designs she not once has not told me "I can't do it".

I will strongly recommend this place. They have reasonable prices and the work its spectacular. Thank you for all your hard work ladies.... I brought her this design and Lani did again thank you, thank you a million stars for this place

Honestly, this visit to Pearl Nails was pretty underwhelming…read more I went with my daughter--she got a pedicure, which was just okay, and I got a gel manicure. Neither service was terrible, but neither was anything to rave about either. What really rubbed me the wrong way was the behavior between the technicians. I have absolutely no problem with employees speaking their native language while working--I think that's completely normal. But one technician was talking to another, and the other one suddenly said, "shhhhh!" and then laughed while looking in our general direction. Maybe they weren't talking about us, but when you're sitting right there as a customer, it definitely makes you wonder. It came across as unprofessional and uncomfortable. I also noticed that the technicians looked completely different from the last time I was there. I'm wondering if there's been a change in management or staff because the overall experience felt different this time around. The services were *okay*, but between the mediocre results and the uncomfortable interaction, I left thinking, "I'll probably find somewhere else next time." Not a horrible experience, but definitely not one that makes me want to come back.
