    Went in to get acrylics taken off. The guy decided he's going to try and peel/pry off  my daughters acrylics.!!! What the heck!!
    Drizza N.

    I made an appointment to have a set of acrylic nails removed. The set of acrylic nails were on for 2 weeks. (No lifting as the place we normally go to does a. Amazing job). Well we know that "the appropriate way to remove them is in a salon- soaked off". Well of course we needed them removed ASAP. The normal place (nail salon" we go to was fully booked for a last minute requests. So of course I turn to YELP. When I called and spoke to the owners daughter Lena (unsure of spelling) she said "we soak off the nails". Well yay!! This is what I want for my daughter. The appt was the next morning at 9am. I called again to confirm it will be a "soak removal". They confirmed. I'm feeling ok about this new place for removing the acrylics. A seasoned or professional salon would know that the nails were fresh. No lifting. Polish on point. Not too much growth. Still looked good. Unfortunately, I picked up my daughter and she told me "THE FIRST PERSON TRIED TO TEAR OFF MY ACRYLIC NAIL" meaning THEY DID NOT SOAK IT!! as I requested. She said "someone else came to help me cause he had an appointment" (thank goodness!!) then the tech soaked her nails. This really bothers me as I CALLED ESPECIALLY FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THEM SOAKED OFF" I called the shop back to speak to the manager or owner to explain what happened. I was passed off the daughter. Who happens to be Lena.... Yes, the person that I initially spoke to... to make the appointment. She was totally backing up the person who tore the nail off. Not even understanding, and I kept telling her that we made an appointment to soak it off. There was no resolution. Very unprofessional. I am not even sure how this happened as she explained to me that it was "also written that you wanted the set soaked off". Now I'm totally confused, so what are your workers doing? I asked if it was a new employee and she said "no he has been here from opening of the shop". I'm now thinking SLOPPY POOR SERVICE- NOT CARING ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!! They charged $15 for terrible work and injuring my child. Of course I wasn't there. And my girlie tipped the 2nd worker as it wasn't her fault. I just am speechless with how this happened. And still no resolution of the situation. A few words for people who are looking for a quick place to go for nails. DO NOT DO IT!! Go elsewhere. Oh and yes it bled. Just FYI. Fair warning. Do not go here unless you want to have less than satisfactory work.

    I know that I just made a review a month ago but I do need to change my review from a 4 to a 5 star. Like I say this is the only place I go for my nails. Not over priced like other places & doing the same thing. PARKING: Parking is small & I believe their is no street parking? They probably have 6-7 stalls. Cross your fingers you don't go on a busy day & time. SERVICE: I definitely recommend you guys to ask for "KATHY" when you come here. I just loooooove my nails everytime she does it. It's crazy because o get freakin compliments when I first get it done & when they are grown out. Yes!! I said it. Grown out. My nails last over 3weeks with all my nails on & not even trying to come off & my job is a waitress that buss tables & always dipping rags in warm/bleach water all day, 5 days a week. She knows me so well with my obsession of nude colors for my nails. The refills aren't as crazy as other places too. They have so much colors & new colors too. So don't worry about if they have your color cuz they do. Will I recommend this place? OF COURSE. SO FAR I TELL ALL MY FAMILY & FRIENDS TO COME HERE.

    normally I don't do pedis but this one felt good. It was a great experience for a first timer.. really great and friendly service. I would de go and do my feet again.

    WORST NAIL QUALITY. I never post reviews, but this is just UNACCEPTABLE. Back story... 2 nails broke & my nail lady was booked so I settled for the closest place... called on Friday (2 days ago) for a fill.. They were quick to take me in (for the WORST EXPERIENCE). STRAIGHT TO THE POINT... 1. I have no smooth nails. They each have bumps or dips in em. 2. I asked for full color no designs. She INSISTED SHE'D DO A FADE! 3. I told her multiple times I wanted it all one color & when I got back from washing my hands, there was glitter polish on her desk. I repeatedly told her I didn't want that & I even told her I didn't like it after she put it on 4. My pinky was burning after she put on the dehydrator & I told her & she continued & said "after you wash your hands it be ok" after washing my hands it still burned & she said "I'll put lotion" didn't help 5. Horrible fill job, you can see where there should be product in some areas that aren't covered. 6. Because of the fade design, you can see how poorly she filed down my nail underneath. 7. You can still see polish from pervious design WHEN YOU PRODUCE POOR WORK, YOU LOSE A CUSTOMER. NEVER EVER GOING BACK & I WILL TELL EVERYONE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!

    Very poor quality of work... for $120 did not expect thick looking nails that literally started chipping as soon as they were done. Infected my toe and left me in a worse condition than when I arrived. Save yourself time and money and avoid at all costs!

    My first bad experience here was a month ago. A younger nail tech did my pedicure..not sure her name but she's americanized and darker complexion...she ask if I could tolerate pain and proceeded to yanking a chunk of my nail (not a hang nail.i don't get those) and said "oops" a month later and its INFECTED! I NEEDED TO SEE MY DOCTOR! I've never had this happen to me before..never ever again am I coming back here. tools are not sanitized and it left me wit an infected toe. TF

    Paint was half-assed

    If I could give a negative I would! This place was way to o pricey for the service and product that my sisters and I received. I just arrived from Las Vegas and was in need of a Mani-Pedi. I was referred to this place by a family friend and trusted her referral. I was totally disappointed. First off my pedi was done by an older woman who did an okay job. The only issue that I had was I paid extra for the Deluxe Pedi and she did not provide the extra service. The hot rocks were a joke I don't have the patience to write this review so I'll let the pictures explain my frustration but I will say this. We got the work done Friday and it's Sunday and this is how it looks. She didn't even clean my nail bed and cuticles. When I asked if she was gonna clean them she put oil on my nails after the paint dried and cut the cuticles right then. Plus I paid for Gel Nails and 3 days later it's coming off smh!!!

    Did a walk-in around 10:30 am. Got seated immediately and showed Tina the photo I was looking for. And she let me know that they didn't have the exact grey picture, which was totally fine it looked perfect with the grey they had. Took about 2 hours and the outcome was perfect and I am in love with them. I did accidentally touch the base coat and mess it up, but she was super cool around it (unlike some other places that get annoyed that you accidentally messed it up). Had fun talking story with Tina & Lynn. Go to Tina for all your glitter needs. Such a great price! Will definitely be back to do my EDC nails in May! Thank you Tina you da one!

    no one took my temperature, made me sanitize, write my info down... I HAD BEEN SEATED ON A STATION WHERE I SAW THE LADY LEAVE... no one sanitized my station AND I HAD TO USE THE SAME TOWEL THAT THE PREVIOUS LADY HAD BEEN RESTING HER HANDS. I had made an appointment earlier today, i get there on time and they don't seat me until 40 minutes later.... then the owner lisa takes me, leaves me mid service to do work on someone else and then sends me off to another nail tech. there were other people waiting around for 15-20+ minutes for their service(s) as well. 1. nails are crooked and all different shapes 2. acrylic is on my skin and has crusted 3. paint job is terrible i've gone here so many times and enjoyed my services but i'm posting this truly because i will never be showing face ever again so i thought it would only be right to do so.... if i could rate 0 stars i definitely would THE LAST PICTURE IS LITERALLY THE NEXT MORNING!!!! SHE COATED MY NAILS TOO THICK WITH THE GEL

    Recently got engaged about a month ago and how embarrassing to have ugly nails with a beautiful ring my fiancé gave me. He wanted to propose 4 months ago on our trip to Disneyland and he told me to get my nails done. He pretty much gave me all the clues that a proposal was on its way so he decided not to do it on the trip (lol). Instead, he did it on our 9 year anniversary. This time he didn't tell me to get my nails done so that was quite embarrassing lol. Anyways- I finally made time to get my nails done. Got a manicure and pedicure at Golden Nails in Kalihi across from Helena's Hawaiian food. There is about 4-5 parking stalls. It can get busy so you will have to look for street parking. I got here about 9:30 am and got the last stall. And they open at 9am. You get the idea. Unfortunately, I was not able to ask for my nail tech's name but she was so awesome! (If you're reading this, thanks girl!) Very funny but also knows how to give you your peace. I asked for a pedicure spa $23 and she did a great job. I didn't get a deep massage because that was over $40. So the massage in the pedicure spa was very basic. She did a great job at the color. She fixed every little paint problem. Onto the fun part! I asked for an ombré French tip gel for my manicure. She used an airbrush which made it look natural and I love it. She was so sweet because she kept asking if I was okay, if it hurt and if the cut was good. I said yes to everything so at one point she's like "you so cute, say yes to everything" lol I think every employee loves that kind of customer. Definitely will have to come back here. Fave nail go to!

My feet is so smooth now. So thankful. Thank you. Oh, she also waxed my eyebrows and lip! I needed this pamper and self care. Eyebrows and lips was so bushy already and mani pedi was so long over due and much needed. I think business not too good because of the rail construction going on, on Dillingham. So help support if u can! I did get hit with a bill, right under 200 total for sugar pedi gel, french mani gel and lip and brow wax. 189 total, is that a reasonable good price? My sugar pedi gel was 80, my gel mani was 48!! My brow and lip wax was 32 total, 20 for brow and 12 for lip. Is that normal pricing? Any way, definitely would go back. Call first to make appointment.

Nadine had found this spot located in Liliha Square right beside Top Tea and with lots of free parking the shopping center provides making this impromptu visit that much easier. Ahhh the massage chair as the simplest pressure had lull me in a trance that has me at ease while the technician worked her magic and noted how my nails were is great as they need it badly. For my toes I do like glitter and as Nadine chose one that's a possibility "Strawberry Daiquiri" I'd say cheers to that color choice! Pedicure range from $30 and up and though I choose the regular color versus gel I do upgrade my services and get that extra massage and love that I've been neglecting making that me time that much better.

The nail shape was also not what I asked for -- I wanted round, but they filed them into a cat-paw shape and said it looked better. The nails are uneven from the side and the tips are too thick. This experience was painful and upsetting and I definitely won't come back again.
