    Beautiful!

    This is one of my absolute favorite spots, a hidden gem I almost don't want to share with anyone! It's a tiny, adorable salon where I can truly relax. She always create my nails exactly like the photos I show, never once disappointing me. The work is so detailed and careful, and my nails always last such a long time. Thank you so much for always taking such wonderful care of me!

    Japanese gel nails presto color 003
    Cari B.

    I requested a Japanese gel manicure and my appointment was with Ellen. She took the time to explain the procedure for taking off my existing gel nails and applying the soft Japanese soft gel base and gel polish. She was meticulous in all aspects of service. She was knowledgeable kind and passionate about her job. My nails have never looked better. It is now 4 weeks later and they are still perfect in color, shape and don't have any chipping at all. I strongly recommend Hime and Ellen for Japanese Gel nails or anything else you wish for .

    Great nails

    Hime nail always does a great and fast job with me. I can't go to any other place now because I am too spoiled by this place. My nails are particular and have to be filed perfectly in sync with the gels or else they hurt. This is the only place that can file them correctly. The art is always beautiful if I bring in a picture or just let her make up a design. Beautiful pink salon and very comfortable

    smaller cuticle cut. rough skin

    admittedly I arrived 20 minutes late due to my extremely slow uber driver. I hesitated whether or not to write this because I thought I'd give this place another chance, but I don't think I'll be back. I tried to be really nice and friendly.. I didn't even get angry when she ripped off my cuticles or filed aggressively at my broken skin. But the amount of blood was something I've never experienced before at a nail salon, so I don't think I'll be back. I was then ushered out 10 minutes before my appt would've been an hour so that a more familiar client of hers can come in. I think she may have said sorry once about my bleeding cuticles, but I could literally see the flesh under and I had a wedding to go to, and it's just now started healing - 2 weeks after the appointment. I'm a little suprised at the reviews here. The nails were expensive for what I had which was quite simple design. (total was about $130-150 including the tip). My circle shape wasn't even perfectly circle. Just an all around strange experience. I'll go back to my regular salon in Rowland Heights even if it's far, who also does Japanese/Korean style+quality nails with products from those countries as well. ------ response to the owner: Compared to the design I originally wanted when making the appointment, yes, this design is way simpler. Maybe this is subjective, but I've gotten extremely complex Japanese designs with all the works: 3d decals, pearl french tips, cat eye, ombre, etc. The design I asked for barely had color on my nails, so I'm sorry if I don't consider a few lines and circles on bare nails complicated. Note: I added another layer of beige transparent polish over the marbling you did, and also the purple polish since what you gave me was just transparent powder - no color. The photo I took outside was what I actually walked out of the salon with. It's not matter of if you caused me discomfort - you did. You quite literally ripped my cuticles off and mangled them, and it hurt - a lot. No matter the time, that shouldn't have happened at all. End of story. I didn't even complain nor asked for any discounts because of it, but I don't appreciate your half baked apology.

    I never get my nails done but wanted to for my wedding. A friend recommended me to Hime Nails and I am so glad that she did. Ellen did an amazing job with my nails and was very fun to talk to. She helped me figure out a cute design based on my Kauai wedding plans and I love it!!

    my gorgeous pink, bling, rose, heart gel extensions!

    let me just say that I had the BEST nail salon experience of my life today. I'm going to break everything down by category (get ready for a long but thorough review! I promise it is worth reading): AMBIANCE & SAFETY: SUPER. CUTE. PLACE. everything is pink. and i mean everything; from their gloves (yes they are very sanitary - more on that in a bit), their mini pink heart cushions for your feet to rest on, their tools, their nail machines, pillows, crystal mini chandelier lamps, etc. I LOVE pink and girly things, so even just being inside Hime Nails was like heaven. I told Chihiro (my nail artist; not tech!) that their salon felt like if I went to a nail salon heaven. I had so much fun just admiring everything inside! Candy and hello kitty peek out in places too! They are covid conscious too; which I appreciate :) pink masks! COMMUNICATION & ETIQUETTE: I don't know about you, but if you've been to the average nail salon, there are sometimes technicians who may appear to be speaking in their native language or talking about you in a way that doesn't feel comfortable. not here. no way! Chihiro and Ellen (who did my wonderful pedicure) are SUPER sweet, polite, knowledgeable, and wonderful timely communicators. I texted them a few times before my appointment and each time, they answered my questions quickly and kindly! So appreciated! Even though they had masks on, you can tell they are so genuine and sweet. They laughed with me when I expressed my love for pink and hello kitty! I've never come across such sweet and polite nail artists before. Just their etiquette itself is 5 stars! SKILLS, AESTHETIC, & MANICURE (Gel-extensions): Ellen and Chihiro are clearly super talented, precise, and artistic. Chihiro gave me suggestions when I was stuck deciding between nail colors, which art to place on which fingers, the colors of stones, etc. I like that she gave her opinions, but didn't make you feel pressured to do a certain way. I saw in a previous reply that Chihiro is an artist and I completely agree. Please see photos of my beautiful nails (and toes). Beyond the extreme cuteness of all my artwork, if you look closely, you can see different sized stones, pearls, and beads that are placed very intricately. This requires an artist's vision and very precise dexterity. Each stone/gem is placed strategically but also beautifully artistic at the same time. If you look closely again, you can see that on my index finger, there is exactly one white heart that is slightly bigger than the other hearts. There is a lot of consideration for contrast and selection of art. I told Chihiro I wanted something with bling, hearts, roses, and pink and the vision became a dream come true. Chihiro was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what kinds of trends were in, all about the nail shapes, and exactly what kind of artwork I desired. Chihiro was very gentle! Ellen was also VERY precise with my pedicure. Everything looks WONDERFUL. The whole experience was like watching art in the making. literally! so interesting! THE PEDICURE: I have NEVER had such a pain free, comfortable, and relaxing pedicure in my 30 something (won't reveal) years of life. Every time I have had a pedicure, there is at least ONE or a few ouches such as when my cuticles are being pushed back or there's some intense filing of some edge of my toenail. I also hate the rough scrubbing. Overall, i really don't like the typical pedicure because there are a lot of minor discomforts. Not at Hime. Wow, not a single ow moment or discomfort. Ellen was gentle, precise, took her time and was very very careful, and graceful. Even when switching my feet in between the UV machine and alternating my painting of toenails, she was super gentle and always made sure my foot was resting on the cute pink heart cushion. I also have a split nail on my pinky toe , and Ellen was really gentle about taking care of it. She talked to me about it and told me how she would file it towards the shape of the gel to make sure it wouldn't grow out and hurt. SO appreciated! I didn't feel a thing either when she was doing so. I no longer dread pedicures after discovering Hime. I told Ellen I really never had such a nice pedicure; hopefully she reads this and knows exactly why I enjoyed it so much. Thank you, Ellen for not making me scared of pedicures anymore! It is a waterless pedicure, so there is not a tub of water and a bunch of lotions and creams to massage your feet/legs, but I actually appreciate the sanitary consciousness of this process. Ellen was also very precise when applying the high quality gel on my toes. Definitely not rushed or rough like some places would be. Keep up the excellent work, Ellen! THANK YOU, HIME NAILS! I will be back for my hello kitty artwork next time!! I have beautiful nails for my birthday and my sister's wedding!! You ladies are really amazing! I hadn't gotten my nails done since the pandemic started, and this was def worth the wait!! What a birthday treat!

    Go here for beautiful nail art that everyone will compliment your nails for the next weeks. Chihiro is not a nail tech; she is a nail artist, maybe even guru. It is easy to tell she is advanced level in this nail game, just look at the pics of the pink princess theme nails WOW. She is very skilled with replicating a design that you show and doing her own design too if you give her freedom. My nails have lasted 5-6 weeks without any defects, I've already been to this salon 3 times this year cus I love it so much. I used to not do my nails at all but now I'm afraid that I can't stop. It is a fun treat and the process is very relaxing in the little, 2-clients max, pink themed shop. I'm glad to have found this gem and would recommend to anyone who is looking for specialized or complicated designs for your big events.

    Bio gel with cat eye and small designs
    Kandice L.

    I love my nails by Chihiro! Base bio gel is 65 plus you have to pay for all the add ons. I showed her a photo of what I was thinking of, and the result exceeded my expectations. It's definitely a splurge but so worth it. It's not the normal manicure experience - it's more about the art/design and quality of the Japanese bio gel. She did an amazing job and can't wait to go back.

    Stephie L.

    N A I L S Once again my nails came out even better than the samples I showed Rumi! Such an artist and the art is always amazing! She works carefully and if you show her some art, she will tell you what is doable and what isn't.

    This is my third time at Hime Nails and every time I go I have a great experience! The salon is very clean and cute inside. Chihiro and Ellen are the kindest people and service is great. Ellen did my nails and I love them! definitely recommended

    Appointment only! At times it can take them a week to get you in. So make sure to book in advance. It's located in a small strip of businesses. They have enough parking for their customers. This salon is small and quite private. It's either Rumi alone, who btw is the owner, or her and another nail technician. She has been in business for a long time and is always up to date on rhinestones and designs. Prices are based on the design and or rhinestones you want. They use a Japanese gel called bio-sculpture, which feels natural and looks amazing. They take their time, you won't feel rushed. Keep in mind this isn't a salon where you will pay $20 or $40 bucks for long lasting gel. Want the basic gel polish that's $40 - one color and $60 for Bio-gel. It's a high-end gel or better said quality gel, that can last up to 6 weeks without chipping. I found this salon 8 years ago after becoming highly allergic to acrylic nails. That was the last time, I used acrylics or low quality gel for my nails. This is the cutest kawaii salon I've been to. Everything is super girly and it makes you feel like a princess. Rumi has a large collection of high-end rhinestones to chose from. Name it, she has it! She gets down and is very artistic as well as anyone she hires. For a fabulous set of nails you'll pay a good amount $90 and up. Keep in mind it can last from 4-6 weeks. My nails usually take about an hour and a half and that's if I get 2 designs.

    This is the best place for Japanese gel nails! Rummi is amazingly patient and extremely detailed! He always does the nails to perfection. I've been coming to her for almost a year, and every single time I leave extremely satisfied happy and impressed with her art. She is extremely creative and talented in the art of Japanese gel nails she would do anything you ask her exactly the same as the picture if you show her one. I also love her Salon! Is very girly she always has Pleasant relaxing music she is very nice smiley polite and respectful I love coming here!

    Kawaii nails!
    H K.

    I'm in love with my nails. The nail technician Chihiro was so sweet! She's amazing! My nails have never looked better and I really have to praise their attention to detail and the care they take to make your nail dreams come true. I will definitely be back!

If I had to mention a couple of downsides, the first would be the parking. The parking lot is fairly small, so during busy hours you may have to park a little farther away. (I've been lucky enough to find a spot every time I've visited, though!) The second is that walk-ins can be difficult if you don't make an appointment in advance. Mondays through Wednesdays are usually fine, but once the weekend gets closer, it's hard to get in without a reservation. That's probably the only thing I wish were different. The salon itself isn't very large, but everything else more than makes up for it. The technicians are talented, everyone is welcoming, and the service is consistently excellent. One thing I really enjoy is the atmosphere. Even though we're all strangers, there's something fun about sitting side by side, chatting or relaxing, while everyone leaves feeling a little more beautiful. It always makes me happy, and it's one of the reasons I keep coming back.

While the price is affordable, I will not come back due to sanitary issues & incorrect methods they use. We made appts for 12 pm and my nails were not started until 12:45 pm. My nail tech (Michelle) was very nice and she does nails well, however, she used the nail grinder tool to clean my cuticles. My cuticles HURT for hours after my nails were done and weeks after the appt, I still have cut up cuticles and scabbing from the blood (pictures attached). I wish I had known in the moment that this method is not okay; it should have been a cuticle cutter. Once I got to my car and quickly googled that I found: Grinders are made for shaping hard artificial or natural nail surfaces, not living skin. Using a high-speed rotating bit on the delicate cuticle and the nail bed can easily cause painful skin tears, deep friction burns, and severe infections. These aren't correct practices used by this salon; they are taking the easy route to get it done quickly. Would not recommend. I would give them 1 star but Yelp removes those reviews easily so that's why I'm putting 2-stars.

I added another picture to show that she was filing into my toe nails after cutting them super short as short as she could get them and made half of them round and tiny. She also cut the sides of the nails which you aren't supposed to do due to infection and hang nails. I asked her not to do this. there was no reason for her to cut the sides of my nails on one foot and not the other leaving with me with uneven toes. I appreciate the response but I feel that there should be an attempt to fix the situation instead of making excuses or insinuating that I'm making this up.

I assumed they needed a moment. Fifteen minutes passed with no update, which was unusual. Then an older woman walked in, sat down, and suddenly the staff told me, "She has an appointment, so we're going to take her first for her mani and pedi." I reminded them that I also had an appointment and had already been waiting 20 minutes.
