I'm extremely happy with how my nails and pedicure turned out. Mahalo Amy and I didn't catch the other ladies name. They only allow tips with cash just in case anyone wanted to know. I wasn't able to leave a tip, but I most definitely will be back for a fill and pedicure again Great prices, services, and atmosphere. Amy really went above and beyond, and I definitely recommend Forever Nails read more

Ruined my eyebrows. Went in there trying to get an eyebrow and lip wax. The lady that did it for me was really annoyed and moody for some reason. I realized after that she was annoyed because her friend was doing a scrub in her legs or something and I happened to interrupt. The lady doing my eyebrows didn't even clean or prepare my eyebrows like usual shops do like put powder or anything. She was being super rude and then when she started doing my first eyebrow, I asked her if I could look at how she's doing them because I have a right to know and she was mad and rose her voice telling me "Why would you ask if I already started!!" And I said "because I have never done my eyebrows with you before". She was rude until I sternly rose my voice at her stating that I don't understand her. Idk how they do nails here but I advised that if you're not an on going customer, they treat you like crap... read more

WAX TIME! I came here on 8/7/20 to do an eyebrow wax. They enforce social distancing and I got helped right away. The lady was gentle when handling my head and waxing my eyebrows. The wax was not too hot and they enforce good cleaning habits. I appreciated that they still tired to converse and asked how I was doing, etc. Upon Arriving you have to fill out a Covid form that ask questions about traveling and sickness. I would Highly recommend calling in for an appointment for any service given. read more

So I went on Sunday for a pedicure with a friend. Well it's now Wednesday and my big toe in my right toe is swollen and throbbing in pain because my tech (didn't even give me her name) dug to deep while removing skin!!!!! Otherwise the experience was nice. The remodel looks beautiful! UPDATE: going to three stars because after going to the ER for an infection in toe I went back and explained about the infection in my right big toe. I had my receipt and discharge papers I was issued a full refund! Will possibly try this place again once I'm ready to give a pedicure a try again! read more

I want to say that Miss Kathy truly is a nail cuticle queen! Being a hair stylist my nails and cuticles get tore the hell up but Kathy worked her magic to make everything look pristine again. Thank you Kathy! Also she is a bundle of joy to talk to. read more

Was very promising until it came to the design . The first design I wanted the lady attempted and failed so she told me to pick another. I chose a simple snowflake since the first design was to difficult, and this was what I received. She was rushing and didn't even let the polish dry all the way. I will not be returning and I would highly suggest finding somewhere else if you want something more than basic polish. read more

Forever Nails - Pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have been coming here for several year but the service has gone down hill. My cuticles were cut so short that two of my fingers were bleeding. I was then charged extra to remove gel polish on my natural nails. Overall, very disappointing. Time to look for another salon. read more

I've been to Forever nails a few times because it's close to my house and they are usually easy to get in with. Don't bother making an appointment. They take walkins as they come so when you show up for your appointment you'll have to wait because the tech took a walk-in who came 10 mins before you. I'm never fully satisfied with my services but I'm usually at least content. This last trip was my final straw. My pedicure was done well enough. My acrylic fill was a very unpleasant experience. The tech was a very nice but her work was poor. She cut my cuticles dry and caused bleeding on 4 fingers. She saw the blood wiped it away without ensuing it stopped and continue to do my nails while I was actively bleeding. I didn't see how bad the bleeding was until I went to wash my hands. I was still bleeding. I applied pressure until it stopped went back to let her finish. The paint job was done with very little attention. I have 3 nails that only have half the nail covered with a top coat and by the time I left I started bleeding again. I was already irritated with my bleeding fingers and then I turn around and both techs are shoving their Venmo QR codes in my face to tip them as I'm trying to pay for an already crappy service. It wasn't til I got home and got a good look at my nails that I noticed the missing top coat. Very dissatisfied with my overall experience. I will not be back. read more

I believe this place has changed ownership and I'm not sure just how recently, but the new owners are jackasses. Ended up having a full-blown conflict with Mr. owner. His wife couldn't get the mobile CC machine to work and decided to let him handle it which was a big mistake. There was confusion over the transaction as it didn't quite go through, but was showing on my bank app... long story short the owner was trying to charge me for the full price on a re-try ($115 before tips which for a mani- pedi with simple clear added to my finger nails and gel polish with toe art on big toe with pedicure; so a bit pricey. --however, "Q" and "Holly" gave great hand and lower leg massage so they deserve a 5 star rating!) Anyways the dispute came when $25 had went through on my charge on their machine so I opted to go and get him cash at the ATM because banks were closed and I wanted to make sure they were paid and they were closing up. Instead, owner flipped out due to an absurd idea I was trying to "ditch" the bill. Sigh I'll skip the rest, just suffice it to say cops were called as he assaulted me and I for one; will never go THERE again! read more

The pedicure was the best I have ever had! They take their time also my fill on my nails were neatly filed and gel polish was beautifully done! 10/10!!! read more

I want to preface by saying that I've never written a review before. However, this experience made it feel necessary. I have been coming to this salon for the past two years. Rarely ever have a bad experience besides the occasional cuticle irritation. I went in for a pedicure with gel which is something that never changes. I got the basic pedicure ($38) and originally wanted a solid gel color ($20). However, after insisting the color my friend and I chose wouldn't show on our toes and it would be too neutral, I responded with "well it's just for a wedding." Eventually, I caved and told her to do the French tips. The rest of the service went well. However, when it came time to calculate the price I was very confused how to total came to $73. We did the quick math and I asked if the French tip was extra and she confirmed it. $15 for a French tip? Not to mention the fact that they charge extra if you use card. I figured it would've been extra but $15 extra without even a heads up? My friend and I had only brought $70 thinking it would be enough for the most basic pedicure and the fell add on. I initially felt bad for not being able to tip without going back to an ATM till I came to the realization that they charged $15 for a French tip. They looked visibly upset at the fact we didn't tip. After being such a loyal customer this business has officially lost my faith. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Been here several times in the past months and left always in a good mood. The technicians here are great and I went in for a fill and ended up with a manicurist that actually listen to you and was able to carry a conversation on many different subjects. Which made my time go by faster and nails looking fabulous! Kudos to Jen- she is truly a hidden gem read more

I have been to this nail salon on three different occasions for three different services. My overall impression and feedback is that they're "OK" but I will probably never become a regular patron. The best thing about this salon is their convenience. They're located in Moanalua Shopping Center so they're near McDonald's, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, a gas station, the Commissary, the NEX, Target, etc. This is pretty much a full service salon, they do hair, nails and waxing. So I don't know if Nail Tek is sponsored by Apple because practically every employee was playing on an iPad the last time I was there. It wasn't too busy so every employee that wasn't occupied was on their iPad! Not only do they spend their downtime on their iPads, but they service each other too. When I walked in, there was a customer getting her hair colored. When more customers started to walk in, the "customer" got out of the chair and began preparing to give someone a pedicure. She was actually an employee, so she started giving someone a pedicure with the hair color and foil in her hair! It was hilarious! They have a clean facility. So clean, that they place a plastic covering in the tub of the spa pedicure chairs before they start your pedicure. This is definitely a plus-it prevents the foot tub from getting grungy and also lessens the amount of time they spend cleaning it. There are 2 large TV screens above the pedicure area and a neat thing about their manicure tables is the little fans that are built-in, or made to look like they're built-in the tables. So after your nails have been painted, you just sit there with your hands above the fans. The first time I went there was for a pedicure and I probably won't be back there for another pedicure. All I remember was that it didn't last very long. There wasn't much scrubbing or massaging going on. The thing I liked though, was that the employee didn't speak to me very much, which is how I prefer it. The last thing I go to get a pedicure for is to chat it up with the person that's servicing me. I go there to relax and try to think about as little as possible. My second visit to Nail Tek was to get my eyebrows waxed and trimmed. When I laid down and the employee looked at my eyebrows, she told me that I should just pluck the hairs because there weren't too many hairs to wax. Excuse me?! Just provide this service I'm asking of you, take my money and be done with it! Geeze! She (Anna) did a great job though! My most recent visit was just to get a manicure with regular nail polish. I am taking a break from Gelish and also didn't want to shell out the extra money, which is why I chose to go with regular polish. Anyway, when I was picking out a color, the employee came and told me that I should go with gel polish and why it's so much better and blah, blah, blah! I still stuck with regular nail polish and even when she was doing my manicure, she was still trying to talk me into getting gel nails. Seriously?! It ended up being the most pitiful manicure I've had because she must have massaged both of my hands/forearms for less than 2 minutes-combined! I've been to places where I've received a longer massage for a lower price! In short, here's how I rate Nail Tek: Pedicure: 2/5 Manicure: 2/5 Eyebrow Wax: 4/5 Customer Service: 3/5 Convenience: 4/5 Price: 3/5 read more

I went here for manicures and pedicures while living on island. Every time I was impressed with the service and how my nails and toes looked. They also listened to what I wanted and were very attentive. The atmosphere is nice, and it was not too pricey. Highly recommend trying them out if you are in the area and are in need of nail services. read more

Usually, I like to go to my usual nail salon to do my nails but because I had broken one of my finger nails, I decided to go to the closest nail salon. So I decided to take a chance on forever nails and I'm glad that I took that chance because I was able to meet Tiffany. Tiffany did a really good job the first time when she did my nails so when it was time to refill my nails instead of going to my old nail salon, I went back to Tiffany at Forever nails. Once again she did a awesome job and she is very detailed on what she does and she listens to what you want, makes it come happen. Thanks Tiffany!! read more

Been going to this nail salon on and off over several years but today's visit was the best experience. They just remodeled the salon and got all brand new massage chairs that are wonderful, almost fell asleep sitting on it while getting my pedicure. Van was awesome nail tech. Will definitely go back soon. Note: they do temperature check and contact tracing for Covid19 compliance. read more

My girlfriend went there today to just get the color of her nails changed. The girl Mimi was being incredibly rude and pushy trying to upsell her. My girlfriend was firm on just changing the color. Mimi filed all the color off of her nails harshly. After that, she told her to sit in the front and someone else will help her. She had to sit in the front with unfinished nails for 45minutes...on her birthday. Amy on the other hand was incredible. Saw what happened and finished her nails. They look much better. This review is mainly for Mimi's terrible customer service and poor attitude. read more

Sloppiest mani I've ever had! My nail tech rushed, cuticles weren't trimmed nicely, she didn't buff my nails, hand massage lasted like 10 seconds on each side. She started my mani at about 120, and was completely done by 140!!!! Like what?! There's paint left over on my skin surrounding the nail, one nail is all jagged bc she didn't file it completely and decided to paint it anyway, and she didn't even make sure that the clear coat covered the entire nail on some of the nails. Should have def read the reviews before even coming here. read more

If they tell you to come back in an hour, just make an appointment and come back another day. They'll promise to call if there is an opening sooner (and won't). When you come back, they'll make an excuse about why they can't take you and you'll have wasted your entire morning. This is the second time I've walked in and was asked to come back in an hour, only to find out they can't take me. The first time I thought it was just one off, but here I am again. I get it. You all are busy, but don't waste people's time if you can't take them. Time is precious and something you can't give back to your customers. read more

My nails turned out ok after much direction and like 2 hours of my time. I couldn't understand what she was saying to her coworkers as it was another language but I know it wasn't pleasant bc the the faces and laughter. Upon arrival I was told to sign in a tablet and go to a booth to wait. Then they forgot about me for 15mins and asked what I was waiting for and why I didn't sign in on a clipboard(not the tablet). After scolding me the lady started shaping my nails and complained about not being able to do coffin( which she did manage to do in the end with no extra effort). I asked if she can do a simple v tip design and showed her she said yes. When It came out poorly I said polite I didn't like it( had alluded to that with each step). Had to keep asking her to fix the crooked nails. She got an attitude that she had the take off the terrible nail art. So I asked for a pink French tip and had her make adjustments until it wasn't crooked. Finally when she finished there was extra polish on my cuticles which she ignored at that point I just wanted to pay and leave and my nails were good enough so I didn't have her fix it. When it was time to pay she added extra fees. Apparently $45 for acrylic fill plus $5 for coffin shape plus $10 for French tip(even though it's less polish?) plus$5 for card use. Totaling in $65 for a short acrylic fill with French tip (which is more than usual price for my full ombré french tip set at any other salon) They obviously didn't want my business and I will not be coming back. This is some of the worst service I've received at any nail salon. read more

Great place to feel pampered. Staff is professional and makes you feel like a valued customer which is hard to find now a days.

As another reviewer posted, a $38 basic pedicure quickly turns into more than $60 because they nickel and dime you for everything, to include CUTTING YOUR NAILS and SHAPING them. No, it's NOT included!I was overcharged for regular round shape. They also charge extra for using a credit card. These additional charges ARE NOT POSTED anywhere. I'm not coming here anymore. read more

Sloppiest nail service ever! All I needed was a gel removal and reshaping and it was so horrible. I was so uncomfortable the entire time. Instead of letting the acetone set so my gel polish can come off with ease she used the filing machine thing (idk what it's called) and nail and polish dust was flying all over her and me. While she was doing it her nails were digging into my fingers! Then she pauses, with all the nail dust all over her hands and sticks her finger into her ear then picks up my hand again...grossssssss! At the end she put a clear coat of polish over it and had me dry my nail for I swear it was like 1 minute before she felt it with her own finger and says it's good. I believe her because well I just wanted to get out of there because I was so grossed out! But right as I walk out the door I notice a big old smudge where she felt my nail! Geeeeze! This is my second time trying out a Nail Tek salon and both times were sooo disappointing! Never again! read more

Majority of the workers have terrible attitudes and seem like they don't wanna be here. I got a full set and the lady was fully yanking my arm, At least 7 or 8 times. She didn't stop til I looked at her dead and in the face, and she knew what she was doing because after she stopped YANKING. If I could post zero stars I would. I then Got a nail repaired after only 10 days of having them?? Which never happens my nails normally last at least a full 3 weeks, and the new tech wouldn't even try to replicate the shape. Not even a little. Service was terrible which sucks cause this salon is closest to me, but I'm willing to commute for a nail tech that actually tries! On a positive note I had this amazing lady do my toes, I asked for her name but eventually forgot it. Probably the only worker that was up to par. Also, im not a critic I just expect my service to be somewhat enjoyable and my nails to be worth the money. Never ever again. I'll post a photo for reference of the nail shape that she refused to fix, color is different cause I asked for a different one when I couldn't find the same shade of pink. read more

I asked for square tips with no curve and a soft beige gel coat. The nails they gave me did not match my natural nail bed. They were slanted and tilted off to one side. None of my nails had an even layer and the nail beds was extremely bumpy. My nail chipped minutes after walking out of the salon. The nail tech did not clean the under side of my nail leaving extra glue and nail shavings. This is the second time I've been to this place and I've been unsatisfied with the service. read more

Took my daughter for a nail fill. First one since set was put on somewhere else. They tried telling me it was a horrible job and needs to be removed and new set put on.

Horrible work.... Had to keep telling the nail tech "Victoria" that it doesn't look right, that it wasn't how I wanted it!!! She put a layer of acrylic when I wanted pink/white, ‍ so one hand is thicker (ugh) she ended up cutting the tips uneven (with the white tips) again I asked her " aren't you going to match up the tips with the other hand ?! She said to let her finish and I will see how nice it comes out and I just lost it!!! I'm sick and tired of letting these non-English speaking nail techs get one over on me, so I snapped said I don't like it I keep telling you it doesn't look right and you keep trying to convince Me otherwise and it's making me mad.. "Jenny" decides to chime in trying to convince me that it is how supposed to be when she grinds down it will come out nice I had to put my hand up and ask her to just STOP IT!!!! Confronted Jenny regarding the conversation she was having with her client basically blaming her for hitting her nail on the base of the dryer when she asked Jenny to fix it like wtf?! Told them I'll just have it done elsewhere and they were willing to let me go NO Charge but I felt for Victoria because she did seem to genuinely be trying her best‍ but I still left EXTREMELY UNHAPPY with work done here!!! Looks like A 3rd grader did them grrrrr.... had to ask for A file so I can shape them Myself ....Also, it seems more like a hang out with at least 6 nail techs just sitting around talking crap about The customers smh I DO NOT recommend this place!!! read more
