Worst service ever. The lady didn't even make sure my toes were dry before me leaving and it got messed up. She even got mad that my nails weren't drying from the uv light that wasn't working properly that SHE PLUGGED IN during my manicure. I guess it depends on who is servicing you but there aren't that many good ones there. read more

I called in last minute on sunday afternoon and they were able to squeeze me in. I had to wait about 15 minutes when I arrived but they did not rush me through the pedi or mani unlike other salons when they are busy. I will definitely be returning here but will try to schedule an appointment in advance. read more

Very disappointing. The gentleman there messed up my nail and it was crooked and tried to blame it on the last place i went to. Very sloppy on apllying the nail polish and filing was not smooth. Will NEVER go back again no matter how convenient it is. I also got a pedi done and she had me soak for 10 minutes while she did the close out. Um no! you dont have your customers waiting. And did it half okole style. This place sucks! read more

Friendly nail tech .... good location, with plenty of parking! They took me immediately ( around 2ish) ... however, they didn't really scrub the bottom of the feet too well... her next appointment came but, it's ok the finish work made up for it ! read more

So this is my second time here. The first was great, she was friendly and talkative. Had my acrylic nails removed and gel nails on. She wasn't pushy or trying to up charge me. Today however I came in for a pedicure and gel take off. Fist off, when I walked in I saw the line so asked how long the wait was, I was told 20 min. Well that was a bold faced lie. I sat in the waiting area for 45 min. The. Once placed in pedicure chair, I had to alert someone that the water was about to over flow. Then I had to ask about the Epsom salts. Had one very rude nail tech tell me that when someone was with me they would place it in the water. After waiting an additional 30 minutes someone finally comes to be with me. Of course I was being asked if I wanted the super deluxe. Which I did not. I did however want the deluxe. Thinking it would be just as good. Well come to find out they charge extra to get rid of your calluses. I'm from Texas that's just a natural thing. And for a deluxe pedicure the massage felt like a 2 year old put lotion on my legs and just moved it around. The message is the best part but not here. The mani was crappy. All in all I am still on the hunt for an epic nail place. But nail tek, our short lived relationship has come to an end. read more

The wife and I went there for Valentine's Day and the service was good and so was the cleanliness. The reason they got a one star is because they don't advertise a menu with prices. The only thing with a price you get to see is the pedicure deluxe package for $50, no other options. None of the workers could speak or understand English very good making what you wanted for service very difficult. Keep in mind that my wife teaches ESL to children and couldn't communicate with them either. If they had a menu we could just point like you do when you are overseas. Lately they forgot to charge us for the foot scrub thing, $7. While we were waiting for her nails to dry they were like you owe us an additional $7. We had already paid almost five minutes before they "remembered" they didn't fully charge us. Poor business practice, should have eaten the cost. I will never go back to this place again. I would rather have my nails go Freddy Kruger!!! read more

Went to Jenny for two years (while I was on island) and never once was her work anything less than spectacular. She truly is a nail goddess if I've ever seen one. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would, went in to get a pedicure and skin was left on my feet, not only were my feet painful after but she cut me and left me bleeding. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

This establishment is horrible and very racist. My experience with them was very abusive and dismissive. I walked in and the workers saw me and heard me because there was a bell on the door. They sat in their chairs and didn't acknowledge me but a white woman walked in right after no appt no nothing and they was at attention. I came back to speak to the manager all of sudden no one spoke English or knew who the manager was. That place sucks read more

I've been here a few times, to get a pedicure. I've had Jenny both times and she was great. It's pretty busy but I've never had to wait long. They have tons of colors , it's hard to choose they take their time and don't try to rush you. read more

They did a good on my daughters pedi and manicure. But when I got my pedicure my toe ended up with a nasty infection.

I just go here for a basic pedicure and eyebrows (when my normal in-home lady is unavailable) because it's so close to my home but I've always been very satisfied. Basic pedicure is $28. They are very quick with the eyebrows which I appreciate. read more

I came here for a mani + pedi because I had received a gift certificate here. I was not expecting too much because of the mixed reviews, but I left the place pleasantly surprised. I didn't get the workers name, but she did an amazing job. I got acrylic and a whole bunch of rhinestones. The lady who shaped my nails did a superb job on them. LOVE IT! I'm totally coming back :) read more

Still suffering from the toe infection. Have to be on antibiotics which costed $$ but the worse part is the side effects of the antibiotics !! I have diarrhea!!! I sure hope the people working here will be more careful and not cut too deep when cleaning out the dead skin!! This is just too terrible! Be careful if you choose to go here !! it also wasn't cheap - I spent over $100 for a gel mani pedi! read more

I came by for a mani and pedi today. I was not expecting much after reading the reviews on yelp, but I was wrong. The prices were reasonable and the service was great! I absolutely love my nails. The location of the store is convenient for military as it is close to the base. I walked out of the store completely satisfied. I will definitely come back read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! My nails looked hideous. I asked for pointy & im 100% sure the lady didn't kno how to make em pointy cause none of the shapes match. Most are different in length too! The nail file that she was using kept cutting into my skin making me bleed but she didn't really mind that. I asked for white the "white" she gave me turned brown just a couple days after getting them done. My eyebrows looked fine but she insisted I wax them. they now look like dysfunctional cousins instead of twin sisters cause one has a bald spot and just doesn't look right. All & all it was a BAD time in that shop. Never again. read more

See all

This place is shit. The nail technicians make you feel like you're interrupting their personal time. When in actuality I'm paying money for this service, and you're just rude talking to your friends excessively while you're working. Don't go here, they suck. read more

I have been going to Nail tek off and on for the past year and a half. This was the first nail salon I came too after my arrival to Hawaii. Every time I go to other places, I always find myself coming back here. I have been 100% satisfied with the service. All of the ladies are really friendly once you get past the language barrier. Let's face it folks, if English isn't your strong suit, you would speak less of it. I'm fortunate to be a world traveler and have experience detecting such issues. I highly recommend each and every person that works there. I have had great service from all of them, but I must say that Jen is my favorite. read more

The location is convenient. It is next to Jamba Juice and Jeans Warehouse. Also near GameStop (I frequent.) It is also near my neighborhood so I think that's pretty awesome. :) So I went here to get a mani/pedi. I always pass but don't go in. I was disappoint. I had a hang nail problem and told the lady about it and she nearly ripped all the skin off. Then she put some stuff that made it feel like I was rubbing lemon juice into a wound. I told her that it burns and she scoffed at me. Having a bad day? Then it was time for my "foot massage". It felt like I was being rushed. There was nothing "massage-like" about it. Serves me right for going in the last hour of closing, I guess. I had my nails painted and it was like I could have done it myself for free. Many missed sides, and the lady put so many coats on, that my nails are 3D. They are also chipping already... The only reason I didn't give a one star is because of the location. Also the "you get what you pay for" saying that comes into play here. I won't come back. Do your cuticles a favor, and save your monies. :) read more

Very bad service! I recently got my eyebrows waxed, and the lady did not know what she was doing! My eyebrows are uneven, and very thin. Do not waste your money going here. read more

NOT a pleasant experience on 23 Aug: We are in town with the US military. At about 1 pm my husband and I went in for mani/pedi's. It was NOT a good experience and we will NEVER return. 1) They started by trying to upsale with some "deluxe" package. When we politely declined they REALLY pressed, stating that without the upsale, the mani/pedi would be "very short time, not so good." What a terrible sales tactic! 2) Then, they rushed through the process...were fairly rough when moving hands and feet around...spilled product on my watch due to rushing...kept talking to each other and other workers in a foreign language...made eye contact with us twice, maybe three times (total). 3) Despite the so-so treatment, we tipped $20 total (25%)...and the nail tech loudly questioned whether the $20 tip was for her or both nail techs. When I replied that was for both, she blurted something out in a foreign language...and we left with a horrible memory of this place. The other nail tech at least said "Thank you" as we departed. 4) The overall result--An OK mani/pedi...not the worst looking, not the best either. But far too much money for the shoddy customer approach and the so-so results. Don't go here til they learn how to treat paying customers. read more

I wouldn't even rate this place if I didn't want everyone to know how horrible it was. I did a pedicure the lady kept trying to convince me that I should get paraffin wax. I told her many times that I only had an hour. Once she got the message she literally took 10 min to do my service rushed was sanding my skin, it was horrible she tried to get away with one layer of paint and no clear coat I felt so uncomfortable asking that but I was in disbelief at the attitude and service provided. There names were lily and Lisa my mom was with me getting the same shitty service. Horrible experience. read more

I'm going to start with they are very pushy, I only like to get regular color and not gel all she kept saying was "gel is 100 times better, only $10 more." I kept telling her no but she would not let it go. It went on from there, I just really wanted nails done nothing else and it was like she was mad or something. The paint job is horrible I could of had my kids do better. I will never go back. read more

I got a simple gel mani and was not impressed. If you want a hurry up in and out place where no one really talks to you this is your place. If you are looking for a spa like experience this is NOT your place. I spent more time listening to them talk to each other and her just holding my finger than her actually doing my nails. My thumb hurts like heck right now cause she wasn't paying attention and took a chunk out of the side. Will not be going back. read more

If I could rate this less than 1 star I would. Extremely disappointed in the lack of service I received here tonight. Everything I looked up shows that this location closes at 8PM. I showed up at 645PM with my cousin and we're about to sign in when the technician sitting with a customer told us that they were closed. The front doors were open as if they were open for more business and there was nothing to indicate that they were closed. I double checked the door signing and google and they all showed 8PM. We walked away disappointed and opted to eat dinner there instead. We were walking back to our car we noticed that it was after 8PM and the doors were still open and the technician that told us they were closed was working with another customer. read more

I literally love coming here. Kim and Kelly are amazing. I am always greeted friendly and it was definitely worth the price I paid for a Mani,pedi and my eyebrows. They were friendly, clean and never tried to upsell me on anything. I told them what I wanted done and they did exactly that. read more

I came here to get my nails removed which I have done many times, get my nails for special occasion then have to get them removed after 2 weeks. The technician literally cut my nails and then used the grinding to grind most of it off which started to hurt and burn my fingers, then she just took another nail and bent it and proceeded to just scrape my nail off! Which hurt even worst! Plus she kept cutting my skin with the bent nail! If I just wanted my nails scraped off I could of done that at home! Horrible! And it was $17!!!!!!! read more

I came in for a simple manicure and clear coat on my nails and I left and looked at my nails once again and it was peeling. My friend also wanted to just get a mani but instead they kept on pressuring her to get a mani and pedi. Though I did get a really good eye brow wax they did very good. read more

I will never come here again! Every SINGLE time (5+) I've been there the quality is horrible and the nails fall off within a week. Save your money and find another nail salon!! read more

This my second time here...the first time I had a pretty good wax by kelly. So this time I decided to try the full set being I am new to the area. Well big mistake I walk in for my appt at 10am and no one says hello or asked what I need done. I go ahead and sign in b/c I have a scheduled appt and then around 10:30...I scratch my name off the sheet in which a person approaches and says "oh you don't have time" I say " i had an appt at 10 and it's now 10:30" she then says "oh" and I walk out! Customer service is crap here! read more

Worst salon I have ever been to, if I could give negative stars I would. Super rude employees. I've never been to a salon that charged for a second coat of toenail polish. Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

I came here shortly after I moved to the island 3 years ago. I said I wouldn't go again and my dumbass decided to today. I went in for a pedicure with callus treatment. The lady didn't even do my right heel. Then, she failed to tell me that the nail polish takes an HOUR to dry. I wasn't in flip flops, just regular sandals. So, she puts them on my feet and sends me on my way. As I'm walking to my car, it touches my sandal and messes up. I walked right back in there to ask her to fix it and she acted like she didn't want to. She told me I need flip flops. I said I don't have any but she didn't offer me any of the disposable ones THEY HAD that they offered to the person beside me. This place is a piece of crap. Go to Aloha lovely nail in town. You will not be disappointed. read more

I wish I would have listened to the reviews already written! Do not waste your money or time. I was wanting a relaxing pedicure for my final month of pregnancy and didn't want to go too far from home. Their prices are ridiculous and staff was rude. I don't mind paying more if I get good quality but even though I asked 3 times for her to ensure my nails were dry and was extremely careful, 2 hour later my polish still smudged! Now here we are 3 days later and my polish has started to chip. I'm not sure if maybe she didn't get all the lotion off the nail before she painted or what but I am extremely disappointed with the service here. read more

Worst place on island to get your nails done by far. My gf and I went here because my usual nail lady was on vacation and it's where she goes and let me start with their unprofessional attitude. We both were getting mani pedis. I'm vietnamese and speak it fluently however I dont look vietnamese so it's usually in my favor to be able to hear the things they say at nail shops about people. From the very beginning they were saying rude things. Just because I don't want a gel mani doesn't mean I'm cheap. They hardly gave us time to choose our polish and it was the quickest and one of the most uncomfortable pedicures I've ever had. When she did my mani I cringed and asked her to not be so rough but she kept staring at the clock and telling the lady working on my friend to hurry up so they could be done w us. My nails looked worse leaving then when I came in! Nails were uneven in shape and length as well as my cuticles were cut jagged. Aweful. Dont waste your money read more

Forever Nails - Can't really tell in the picture but it was so bad I had to take my polish off. Dont waste your money going here. - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have to say I love being able to update a review to a good review after you have had a bad experience. I came here because 1) I had a sitter and still had an hour to kill 2) I didn't want to deal with traffic after seeing an accident a few hours ago happen. I stopped in and said lets just do it. I'm so glad that I did. I got a pedicure by Andy. He did a phenomenal massage. I can't say I could be more pleasantly surprised. read more

I sat there for almost 30 minutes with my feet soaking and nobody had started on my feet. The worst part is that I called a half hour earlier to see if they were busy and at that time, I made an appointment so that I wouldn't have to wait too long! The pedi was mediocre and the mani was terrible, I went home and re-filed my nails. read more

This place is honestly not bad at all. They're very detail oriented and my nails feel a lot better than they did when I came in. I got a pedicure here last year and really enjoyed it. I went to another nail salon and came to this one to get my nails filled because I wasn't impressed by the other one. I'm happy I came here, they feel much better. Just remember to bring cash for the tip! read more

I had a pedi done and a Acrylic fill with gel. All the nail technicians are very friendly and my pedi was okay but I'm not happy with my fill. All my nails were very bulky when we were done & one of my nails was very thick on one side so I had to ask her if she could file it, she acted like she couldn't see it! and tried to add more clear gel to fix it. I had to ask her a couple times to please file it because it had a very noticeable bump. More gel wasn't going to fix it. Not happy. they all look bulky, uneven and unprofessional. That nail technician should get more training with acrylic nails. It's frustrating to pay for something that unprofessional. read more

TLDR; 50 Shades of Hate: Sweat. Blood. Tears etc from their Brazillian Wax. Summary: I've been to Nail Tek in the Moanalua Shopping Center two times and both were for waxing servies. My first experience was a quick and easy eyebrow waxing. I was impressed with how fast they were. For my next visit I decided to try their Brazillian Waxing service for a whopping $50. I've had a dozen of Brazillian Waxes from other businesses, but none of them have subjected me to this type of voluntary torture, until today. (funny, right? 50 Shades of Hate) My Experience: A female assistant was immediately available to assist and brought me to the "red room" right away. She frantically gathered all of the waxing materials and told me to undress. Issue #1: No comfort. I understood that she was going to see my sensitive areas so privacy was not a concern. I undress, lay out, and prepare for the treatment. She starts with the bikini line using a honey wax. Issue #2: I have stubborn tiny hairs and senstive skin so hard wax would be more effective in this case. Next, instead of throwing the used waxing stick away she had been dipping the same wooden stick into two different waxing bowls and she used the same waxing strips that were covered in my hair. Oh, did I mention that she wasn't using gloves? Issue #3: UNSANITARY METHODS. By this time, I'm sweating profusely in the air conditioned "red room". I start to bleed in some areas so she apologizes and says she will apply Neosporin after all the hair is removed. Thanks. Soon she starts to pluck away at the stray hairs but her unsteady hand continously pinches my inflamed sensitive skin instead. She stops plucking after I almost scream in pain. She wipes me off with really hot towels and grabs this clear unmarked liquid to apply to my skin - it was rubbing alcohol. I became dizzy from the pain. Why did I endure this?! Finally, she helps me get dressed? I paid my dues and left in shock with Yelp in mind. According to State of Hawaii, "Wax should be clean and sanitary. Instruments (sticks) should not be re-dipped."(DCCA Hawaii) Since I've had time to vent and slightly relax, after this post, I will be going back to check the female's license and name.

This place gets a lot of bad reviews mainly because the lack of customer service. I'm okay with that as long as they do their job right. I've been coming here for 2 years now - once a month. Even as a 'regular' I don't get greeted right away or get waited on hand and foot. I get regular or deluxe pedicures with callus treatments and eyebrow waxing. They do an excellent job for both. I've never been accidentally cut or hurt by anything they've done. The way they put their nail polish on, it lasts for so long! I've gone to some other nail salons that are more expensive with better reviews but I like this place the best. Also the women here like to talk to each other, a lot. They may or may not be talking about you but who cares? Unless you understand Vietnamese you'll never know haha read more
