Just finished my hike to Rainbow Falls with Hubby. We're packing up and I said that I needed a Pedicure. I I wanted to wear my flops but not with these feet. Hubby said look to see who's open. We realized that a lot of places are closed on Sunday in Hilo. When I called Dream Spa the lady said sure come on down. When we arrived the young man set me up. My first thought was that he was too young to do my Pedicure. What a surprise. He was like a doctor doing my cuticles. He didn't cut me. He took his time. He was a perfectionist. I like'd that about him. I've been to allot of places. I've had excellent service before. This young Jan was outstanding. When we come back To Hilo, we will come back to Dream Spa!!
Aloha, when in Hilo, there are a few nail salons to pick from, conveniently located with street parking is Dream Spa. Picked up Nako from UH Hilo for a girls-day-out, she suggested Dream Spa for a mani-pedi and our chit-chat, nice. Located across the street from fun candy shop & right down from restaurants, an easy location, even though on side street. Seek it out, good prices, nice ladies. Enjoy!
I was so happy to find a well rated salon with openings during the busy holiday season. My husband and I were particularly pleased with the hours. This shop is open at 8:00 a.m., which is a good hour and a half before the other salons. This is wonderful for early birds and people who want to avoid crowds. I would highly recommend the young man who did my mani/pedi (Tai). I am a bit of a high maintenance client because I don't enjoy filing and I have thin and sensitive nails. He had no problem adjusting things to make the experience comfortable. I also have a fingernail that was damaged in a childhood accident, and the care that he took fashioning an acrylic nail over it to match my other nails, was probably the thing that stood out most. It was evident that he truly cared and took pride in his work. My general sense was that everyone at this no frills salon is focused on providing quality work at affordable prices, and delivering services with great customer service. I love to support local businesses and smaller establishments. I plan to encourage my friends and family to give this place a try, and I hope you will give it a try as well!
Honestly I'm sitting in this massage chair so upset! I want to yell and cry.... We are on vacation and wanted to freshen up our toes; I should have left the original paint job! This place is a joke! Both nail technicians were falling asleep as they gave us our massages; which basically felt like a rub down not a massage. He just sat there for 10 mins and rubbed my leg.... The pictures speak for themselves; when I explained the paint job wasn't done properly they argued with me and told me how good it looks... can't wait to go back home and get my nails redone!
Fantastic manicure and pedicure. Great pedicure chairs and the manicurists are very friendly and very good! They are super precise and make sure you are loving your service even if you aren't a local and they know they would only see you once.
Really lovely service - excellent attention to detail, personable, and a really relaxing hand and forearm massage! My friend and I got gel manicures and it was a great experience :)
Came across this nail shop while walking the bayfront shops as it was tucked away on a side street. Tiny shop but was greeted and told I could have pedi in 10 mins. There's 4 pedi chairs, situated a bit closer together than prefer given Covid regulations but guess due to being in cramped area no choice unless they only used 2 of them for business. Should had partitions in between all. Young man did my pedi, min. communication so maybe not good English speaking. He was very gentle and seemed to take his time, about 50 mins. including 10 for nails drying. $28 plus tip. Did nice neat job, I will be back.
This is my favorite place! I've been going there for years for manicures and pedicures. I also had my eyeliner tattooed by Annie. Great job!
Usually go to chic nails but last time i went there they were rude, so i came here to try it out. Pros: when they take your gel polish off, they're gentle and don't burn you with those electric file things Cons: asked for shellac but she gave me gel, told her my nails break and I want shellac. She said she would fix it if they broke. I look at the price board and shellac is cheaper than gel. So I got what I didn't want for more money.... It took almost two hours. The polish has lines in it, it's not even. I got sick of telling her all the stuff she needed to fix considering it was taking two hours and I had an hour to get to work Update: it's been 20 min and I went to go put my shoe on and broke two nails.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THE DELUX PEDI OMG sooooo good like 2 hours of rubbing and pampering for your tired legs and feet is EXACTLY what the dr. Ordered BEST IN HILO hands down. And for a GREAT price! I love this nail salon- I just moved to Hilo from The Bay Area and it has been hell trying to find a good nail salon- I can't seem to get anywhere near the prices I got back home... but that's to be expected. At least here I can get BETTER service than back home which makes the price well worth it. I have tried a couple other salons here in town and have always been WAY disappointed. Annie and her nail techs take their TIME and they are very thorough when it comes to their craft! I am impressed with their standards and friendly attitudes. EVEN when I had to come back because one nail tech - that no longer works here - did a bit of a funky job on my nail color. At the time I didn't HATE it but I ended up going back a week later for a color change (usually it takes e 4 weeks to coke in for a new Gel manicure. IT REALLY LASTS THAT LONG! Annie, the owner gave me a COMPLIMENTARY color change because she could see the lack of effort that was put into my nails from the previous nail tech. GREAT customer service!
This review is for all the nail destroyers on the big island. First of all, I would like to say that I only go to nail salons when my nails are destroyed by me chewing on them during exam season. Not only do I rip my nails, I also chew on cuticles and the skin on my fingers. My experiences with nail salons have mostly been in east Asia (where the technique is more Japanese) and LA. Im a veterinarian and I used to get gel extensions (nail form) that would just peel off or break after a few days of working in a clinic. After moving to Hilo for about a year, I haven't been able to find a nail salon that "gets what I want" - sturdy chew proof short nail extensions". Annie glued on plastic extensions (because my nails were too short to use nail forms) and then added acrylic extensions on top. She topped it with a very nice pale pink gel polish that goes with my skin tone (DND Powder Rose). Nails feel tight during the first day of application, but on the second day, everything feels good. I'm planning to go back for a mani and regular polish once my normal nails grow back, Annie said to just enjoy the mani and she won't charge me for the acrylic removal. I also did a pedicure that day, it was really good, higher value than what you get in Cali. For 25$ I think it was a pedicure and gel color, not sure about the gel color part because I asked for regular polish.
Wow, high quality gel manicure and spa pedicure! I showed up minutes after 8:00AM, when the shop opens, and was warmly greeted and promptly taken care of. The massages included with the services are soooo wonderful and relaxing, and the massage chairs are the best I've ever been in. My back felt so good afterwards. While the shop isn't fancy or extravagantly decorated, the friendly ladies and EXCELLENT services are well worth the visit.
I went in for a fill, never going back. My nails are uneven, and the texture in the color is crooked!

I asked for a simple gel color w 2 nail design for my bday nails. There were 4 techs and only me and another customer so not busy at all. Overall, everyone was nice and the lady who began did a fine job but when the design came, she let a young boy do it and it took almost an extra hour to do just the two nails and it didn't turn out at all like a professional manicure. I had to keep correcting it bc it was very messy w blotches and random lines and even the lady kept coming over to fix things but after a while I just said it's fine bc i had to go. It wasn't a very difficult design but I wish they would have said they weren't able to do it or had someone who could do it, than me wait 2 hours, only for it to look messy and tacky. It also costed over $55 (w the 20% tip) for natural nails. Kinda bummer for my bday. read more

Dreams spa is truly the best nail salon in Hilo. Since it's such a small location they really take their time with every person that comes in. I got a spa mani and pedi with 2 other people and we were there from 2:30-5:30. However only Annie and her son were working. They were very courteous and did everything to ensure that we were happy. Annie was very tedious and did a stellar job shaping and painting my fingernails. Her son did a good job with my pedicure as well. Compared to the other places in Hilo, their prices are very reasonable. I would suggest making an appointment beforehand as they do get really busy. It is worth the wait and I'm so glad I found this place! read more

My favorite place to get a pedicure in Hilo, and I've tried them all. Spa pedi is $26 and they do a very thorough job. Everything is always clean and sanitized, there is a good polish selection, and the family that runs this is the sweetest. As a bonus, they open much earlier than most nail salons, which is very convenient for me. read more

New trip to Hilo. Normally nails places near by the mall are too busy and little pricey for me, so driving down to Dream Spa is the thing to do. I'm happy with my entire visit.
