On a whim about a month ago, I'd gotten acrylic nails in my hometown Seattle. Had them filled and…read moremaintained a couple of times, but one evening a few days ago when on vacation in Kauai, I decided they had to go and proceeded to pry them off with my teeth. My nails were, of course, a WRECK! The next day, my kids and I had ventured to Kapa'a and happened to spot a sign for this place. We parked and went in to see if they had any availability. It was 2pm and there was no one in the salon, so the gal behind the counter said she could get us in right away, that her next appointment wouldn't arrive until 3pm. There was another gal-manicurist there who was getting ready to leave, but she agreed to stay and give my 11yo daughter a manicure. She started on my daughter's while I hustled over to the ATM at Long's because gal #1's credit card machine wasn't up and running. I got back and my gal got started on cleaning/shaping/smoothing my destroyed nails ... she mentioned this new hybrid nail/gel system they had, so I opted to go for that because it doesn't chip/wear away and is supposed to last at least 14 days. She had it on her fingernails and it was still so shiny and perfect-looking, despiting being about 2 weeks old - I was sold, even though the cost was double their normal manicure prices ($50 vs $25). This stuff is called Shellac by CND and it's "cured" onto your nails with UV light - as soon as you're done with your last UV exposure, you can do anything! Scramble around in your purse for your wallet, bang your nails on the table, run them through sand - nothing musses up the finish! Well, almost nothing - apparently if you actively try to file it off, that will screw it up. The gals were friendly enough and we were done in about an hour from walking in the door. Now the traditional manicure cost about double what we'd pay in Seattle BUT this place uses disposable/take-away nail files/orange sticks/buffers, so you're paying for cleanliness, for sure! That can be a questionable part when getting your $30 mani/pedi around Seattle. Ew, I know. Plus this place seemed to be using good lotion, oil and polishes, too. Many were even formaldehyde free. I LOVE the finish on the Shellac system! Now I'll have to find a place in Seattle who does them, I suppose! Especially considering one can't take the stuff off with regular polish remover ... there are some kind of special soaking pads or something. Whatever! I don't like doing my own nails anyway. :) My daughter's manicure hasn't faired as well as mine ... there are some air bubbles under her polish and the nail art on 4 fingers that we paid an extra $10 for was only stickers that were applied a bit wonky, but perhaps it was just an off-day for that one! Still give them a go, if you're in the area and need your nails did. :)

I am glad I found a place on island that I can trust with my nails.

Eyebrow and lip wax!!!…read more I had THE BEST wax job by Alealani!! It was virtually pain FREE!! She did an excellent job overall. She took her time and it was so relaxing!!! usually I cringe from the pain. It's why I rarely get it done. Beauty should NOT be pain full. If so you're doing something wrong. just my opinion. And her personality and vibe is top notch! I met the owner of the salon too and she's so awesome!! I HIGHLY recommend this salon and aesthetician. You can't go wrong!! It was a beautiful experience.

My math: $225 per person = $450 10% resort fee = $45 20% gratuity = $90 Their math: "Since it is two people you will need to calculate each thing by 2. $225 per person = $450 10% resort fee x2 = $80.91 20% gratuity x2 = $110" Standard practice would double the dollars, not the percentage, unless they actually charge 20% fee and over 20% tip for a couples massage. Unless someone can correct me?? Can't speak to the services since we did not receive them. I was off-put enough by this that I didn't proceed with booking. Posting for awareness to others.

LOVE LOVE my nails and had a wonderful time while I was there with my friend who got a pedicure, Aaron, Trish (who also does nails) and another customer. I asked Aaron about the ONE bad review that was online and he explained to me that the lady who came in insisted she wanted her nails done right away. He explained to her that he had another customer ahead of her and she got upset and stormed out - wait your turn lady!!! Did I mention I LOVE LOVE LOVE my nails and the professionalism and care Aaron showed while I was at his nail salon. Highly recommend Nail Emporium.
