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!! read more

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! read more

Dream Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

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! read more

Dream Spa - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

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! read more

I absolutely adore this place. Years ago I had a friend introduce me to this place to get a manicure for a pageant, little did I know that I would become a regular. I was never one to constantly get my nails done (I know I said pageant, it was a one and done kinda thing). I would consider myself more tomboy. Not to mention a lot of the times I got my nails done they were usually chipped from my outdoor hikes or me being rugged with my dog but this nail polish is another kind of magic and I don't even get gel. Atmosphere: It's a literal hole in the wall. Down the alley with a little sign outside. Sometimes when it rains hard they put a little ply board up because when it rains it pours and flooding in downtown Hilo is nothing new. I digress. It's a nice little shop and small enough to make you feel like you aren't packed into a little sardine can. Usually there are two workers there are they really know how to read the room. If you wanna talk, they talk, you want peace, you got it! Service: PERFECT and consistent, seriously do not change a thing. For some reason massage chairs hit all the right spots or maybe my boyfriend just gives bad massages, either way, these chairs are COMFY as heck. However, these massages are nothing compared to the amazing job they do with the leg massages. Seriously just thinking about it makes me want to catch a flight to get a pedicure. I'm from Oahu (I know, gag, I hate saying that it sound so pretentious) but there is NOWHERE on Oahu that could beat this place for Pedicures. The prices, the service, the scrub! Sign me up for a lifetime membership. I kid you not I would wait till I was back on Big Island to get a good pedicure. I felt like I was betraying them if I went anywhere else. I've been a regular for a while and they are so caring and deserve the best! You guys are so appreciated! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

I don't understand the rave reviews of this establishment? Not a great pedicure experience, I wouldn't recommend to anyone!!

Two words: top notch. I was in HI on vacation and I just hadn't had time for weeks to get a pedi so it was very very very much needed. I called this place same day at 5 for a 5:30, and even though I called again and told them running another 10 or so late they had no problems. Not only that but the pedicure was perfect, they are super patient, the foot massage was also excellent. Highly highly recommend. Great pricing! read more

Small salon, call for an appointment! They are all very attentive and they do a great job! Mani Pedi give yourself at least two hours!

I have lived in Hilo for 15 years and just recently moved to Oahu. I came back for the holidays and wanted to get a pedicure to treat myself. I decided to search on Yelp and found that Dreams Spa had excellent reviews. So, I decided to give them a try. They have only been here a year and so, I haven't had a chance to discover their salon services. JoAnn was excellent to have for my pedicure. I ordered the deluxe pedicure and absolutely loved it!! The clay mask along massage is heavenly and now I know why they call their salon, Dream Spa! It definitely feel like a dream!! 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.

This is by FAR the BEST in town! Great service, the ppl are VERY nice. Had the best pedicure by the young guy and he took his time, NEVER rushed. I will be a REPEAT customer!!! Thank you DREAM SPA read more

We were a bit confused about the service, apparently each technician does one part of the pedicure. We both had three different people performing different stages of the pedicure. Service was nice, but I have the feeling that nail polish remover was added to the nail polish as it required three coats to barely cover properly. Several customers that said they booked appointments had to wait. Good for us, but not for the other customers. read more

his was my very first mani pedi. What an experience! They start off with a salt rub to clean off the dead skin and scrub to the feet. My feet like other local gals are all "bus up" and the lady had to scrub pretty hard. It was kind of sore but I guess you can ask her to go a little more gentle. There were nice massage chairs and gave you a bottle of cool water. I loved the arm and leg massage too. The place was clean only two chairs. I noticed that they used sterilized tools. Gel nails were $35. It's been almost a month and it's still going strong. English is not their first language but they are very nice read more

This is the only place I go to get my nails done, they are AWESOME! Lan is PHENOMENAL and makes my hands look AMAZING EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Morning would be a good time to go if you don't want to wait, on the weekends. read more

My experience with Dream Spa is nothing short of a wonderful service. I've been to several nail and waxing salons all around town and I found this business to be one of the best. Annie is by far one of the most consistent and detailed oriented specialist there is!! I love getting my eyebrows done by her. She is such a perfectionist! The shape always comes out perfect and symmetrical to your face. Nails: French tips are clean and beautiful. On top of that they are a friendly staff and very much accommodating. Prices are reasonable too! I would definitely recommend this nail salon to someone looking for a quality type of nail/wax service. read more
