    A recent addition to McCully Shopping Center, Cici Nails provides convenience for residents in the McCully-Mo'ili'ili, Waikiki and Ala Moana area. Located on the first floor between the elevators and Curry House, Cici is easy to find and their signage is clearly visible from the lot. I went for a basic pedi with regular polish (no gel) and asked the technician if 45 minutes was adequate time since I had to pick up my sons from school. I was assured that was more than enough time but alas, I was rushing at the end despite a couple friendly reminders. But maybe that was an off-chance occurrence. The technician accidentally cut my cuticle a little deep and made it bleed taking a week to finally heal. But that too might have been coincidental. I'll see if the next go around is better. For the convenience, it may be worth the risk but still too early to tell.

    The business

    Stopped in Hawaii before heading to Palau. We came in as walk-ins for 2 pedicures and 2 manicures. Was welcomed and they started on us right away. My technician was Christy. She did exactly what I wanted. Something natural, not long, and simple. I love the results! She is also very friendly. She did my daughter's nails too. Pedicures for hubby and daughter. Min was her technician. He did good with his massage and personal connection. His massage was like a deep tissue one on her legs. She said it felt so good. He was nice and communicated well. I would recommend CiCi's nails for their services. They are professional, friendly and welcoming. So if you're in Hawaii and need a nail place, they would be the best choice.

    I went in for a manicure and pedicure. For the pedicure I didn't want a full spa just a simple color change because I don't like my feet being touched much. The guy who was starting on my toes was super nice, the old lady kept insisting I had to do a full spa pedicure and they don't do just color change, even though their menu said they offered just color. The spa treatment starts at $60 I believe and color change is only $30 she said she could do $55 for color change since they only do it with spa treatment so whatever okay. For my nails, I told her I just needed a fill my last set was only three weeks old but she insisted I had to get a soak-off and full set even after repetitively telling her I only want a fill I got a full set last time I don't want to do soak off and full set. Soak off and full set was the only option in site so I said okay since I needed them done today, I showed her the design that I wanted and asked for the price she told me it would be $110 for the nails, so I agreed, since I needed them done. The old lady began prep my nails she cut me with the drill and ignored it then she started to lay the acrylic which was done so messy. The acrylic was all over my fingers and hand I was so sticky. Someone walked in for a manicure and with my hands sticky and wet acrylic the old lady made me grab all my stuff and go to another nail tech. Once I moved the tech started to file my nails then she confirmed the price of the nails would be $150 I said that the old lady told me $110 for the nails When I said the old lady told me $110, she ran over saying she never said $110 and started yelling at me, saying she didn't like me and accusing me of trying to get out of paying because I was young, that I was being rude and not to try to scam her in her nail shop. I said I'm just asking where the extra $40 came from since u told me $110 and I didn't even want the full set u made me get a fill only would have been about $60 so I already have been up charged from what I wanted I'm just asking where this extra $40 came from since u said $110. I told her It wasn't about the money i was gonna pay whatever the price ended up being regardless. It was just that they added $40 to what was supposed to be $110 and I just wanted to know why. She went back and forth just yelling at me and saying such rude things to me for about 10 mins the other tech kept saying she told me $150 I call call my client that was here so she can be a witness cuz she told me $150. I said I don't know what you guys spoke about you were across the room I'm just asking because I was told $110 I wasn't involved in your guises conversation. She continued pushing to have her client take their side but like that's not what I was told I never heard $150 you guys talked about that to each other not me I don't need u to get a whiteness. The old lady continues going off on me I am like on the verge of tears cuz why are u causing this whole scene when in just asking what the extra $40 was for even tho I would pay it regardless. The old lady finally walks away the tech keeps insisting on calling her client as a whiteness. I said I'm not here to argue can you please just stop I was only asking what the extra $40 was for I told u guys I would pay it it wasn't a problem I just wanted to know why after I was already forced to pay for a more expensive service for no reason. I'm just here to get my nails done I'm not here to argue. She said omg calm down like I was being crazy. I said I'm not doing anything I asked a question and the lady started going off on me and talking shit I don't care about the money I will pay the price I just asked a question I just want my nails done again I will pay but please we can just stop talking if you can't stop arguing I'm sick of this it's crazy. The nail tech was silent and continued working on my nails for a few mins she then apologized and said it may have been a miscommunication and was nice for the remainder of the time. After all that, the design was fine, but she didn't paint the whole nail, and the acrylic was laid so poorly that I had to go somewhere else and pay another $30 to fix them + $15 tip for the work. My total at this salon was $170 plus I tipped $60, so $230, and then another $30 at the other salon + $15 tip to fix it. So, all in, I spent $285 for nails that were supposed to be just a fill. I won't be back this was just rude, disorganized, and the quality was awful. If you look at the last few reviews too seems like they all had the same issue as me as them being extremely rude and switching up the prices. The quality is absolutely terrible. Don't ruin your self care day with them or waste your money. Also they don't wash their towels in between use I was using towels during pedicure after I got switched to manicure chair they re folded them someone else came sat it my same chair and had to use the same towel I did. the owner will reply stating it's a misunderstanding.

    I had such a wonderful birthday experience at Cici Nails, thanks to my friend who treated me! This salon is incredibly kid-friendly -- the staff were so kind and welcoming to both me and my friends & of course the 3-year old baby who had her FIRST mani ever in her whole life. They were especially accommodating to my son, who patiently played Minecraft while I enjoyed my mani-pedi. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, making it easy to unwind. My nail tech gave me a soothing leg massage that made the whole experience even better. I truly felt taken care of from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Cici Nails and can't wait to come back again!

    My friend and I were a walk in and took us right away. The whole staff was so sweet and very helpful with the both of us! I told her I wanted a sheer nude pink for nails, she used to 2 different gel colors that made it the perfect shade that I wanted. We both live in Mililani and Wahiawa but ended up here trying to avoid traffic going home and were so glad we did!

    Very thorough. Very accommodating. No wait on a busy evening. They play good Music too

    this is my nails a week after spending $140 on them. super disappointing. They are already lifting and getting air bubbles. Again, should NOT have been $140. Wouldn't recommend.

    I love Cici's! I'm pretty simple with my nails and indecisive about the color, but Min is patient with me and helps me find just what I'm looking for!

    Came here on a Sunday morning for a spa pedicure. Online said they opened at 10am. We got there and it was closed. We waited about 15 minutes. We were just about to drive away, then they opened. The place is very clean and well lit. I really like how they have the acrylic swatches for you to pick your color for even regular polish. A lot of places only have the swatches for gel polish. Sooo many gorgeous colors to choose from, too! The nail tech did a good job. She didn't talk much, but was friendly. It was a little more pricey than other places for a spa pedicure ($115 for the two of us, plus we gave tip on top of that). But happy with the results. I would come back.

    Updating review to 3 stars because quality isn't there. Broke 1 nail after 11days. Retention isn't great. Just know you won't be getting the best nails here #sadness Or maybe it's the way my nail tech applied it? Who knows. But I'm just glad it wasn't after a couple of days. I've gotten a bunch of great compliments though!

    Calling it a sign... Literally as today marking the end of the year I decided to grab some tea at McCully SC and noticed in the former Fantastic Sam's location balloons and decided give them a look and saw it was a nail salon. Without any sign yet I went in for a peek and saw it was a nail salon and asked for a price list and found out they're just newly opened December 28th and got talked into getting a service as since it's been pre-vacation for my last pedicure why not take care of my precious feet that has gone through hell this year and last night was no different with 11hrs work day. They do basically just nails...manicure and pedicure services I got the Royal with Get pedicure at $90 it gives you a longer massage (30 mins). They have eight pedicure chairs and eight manicure stations with a nice, clean and bright interior it does bring a calming vibe. Located on the ground floor so access is very easy and though parking can be a challenge here it is free and if plan your visits it's not that great of a problem. I did have a staff that seems to be new as she struggled to remove my gel so a seasoned one stepped in and got it done chose a color that was a vibrant pink which I thought would represent the bright start for the new year as self care is the top of my list. Welcome Ci Ci Nails it's looking like a great new place to keep my feet feeling loved. Thank you!

    Min did the best! . Come to Cicis!

    Min did the best job! He helped me match the colors for the perfect match that I wanted ! He was so sweetest ! Come here!

The salon offers a cozy ambiance, complete with a selection of beverages and snacks for clients. The pedicure sessions are particularly my favorite with massage chairs and options like the spa pedicure, which includes an extended leg massage. Though my all time favorite, if you're willing to splurge a bit is upgrading to the sugar scrub pedicure, it'll make you wish you had one sooner in life. Lily's also had a rewards system for loyal customers so make sure to take advantage if you come back. Beyond nail care, I've also utilized their eyebrow threading services with excellent results. Additionally, the salon retails Olaplex products, offering clients access to premium hair care solutions which I love. Because I don't know many places that sell Olaplex so this is an extra treat for my hair. The inclusive environment at Lily's welcomes everyone, including men seeking nail services and well-behaved small dogs. Given its convenient location across from the Ala Moana Center, the salon is easily accessible. However, parking is limited, accommodating approximately 5-7 cars, so planning ahead is advisable. But when in doubt there's always parking across the street at the mall. Make sure to book at least a week or two in advance as they do get busy especially during holidays. If you're in search of top-tier nail care in a welcoming setting, Lily's is the place to be.

I looked for a nail salon located close to the UH Manoa campus and came upon Nail Story. Nail Story had great reviews on Yelp and I liked that I could make an appointment online. The prices of the services was also available when you make your appointment. We arrived a little before 5pm and had to wait awhile before a parking spot opened up in the lot. My daughter showed her technician the design and she was quoted an additional amount of $46. The technician then went to work and when it was time to do the design, there was a lot of back and forth as the technician had not done a sunrise shell design before. My daughter wanted it just right and asked her to redo it several times. I was surprised her technician didn't take offense, but also happy that my daughter was making sure she was getting what she wanted. The technician was great and stayed patient as she tried to replicate the design as best as she could. Finally, after what seemed like the fifth time, my daughter gave a big smile of approval. Thank goodness! | was getting hungry! My daughter loves her nails and I also had a great experience with my pedicure.

    Everything went amazing. The ladies are extremely great at what they do!! No disappoints here and…read moreI'm glad that this is my main salon.
