This first pic you can see the bumps in my nails because he didn't know what he was doing. And the nails were also chunky with the acrylic.
Karlee M.

Extremely unprofessional. I went to them a few times due to the convenience of their location near my house, but every time I go, I leave with chunky nails or nails missing lots of paint. I always speak up for myself when I don't like my nails especially when I'm paying for it, but when I do speak up, they give attitude. I had a big dude do my nails the last time and he left my nails super chunky like he didn't even know what he was doing, and not only that, but all my polish came off within the week after his service too. He also refused to do the French nail I asked for and only put glitter on my nails. Then I gave the benefited of the doubt and tipped him and didn't even get a thank you. He ignored me to go talk to the other girls in the salon. Rude, very rude. Pictures attached of my ugly nails that peeled after a week only.

I got gel tropical pedicure and gel manicure and it has lasted so long. Lisa was fabulous. She started conversation but when she noticed I wasn't really into talking, she stopped. I love when service people pay attention to the client enough to know when conversation is wanted and when quiet is. So grateful. The inside of this shop is not gaudy at all. It's tasteful and I like it. The tv showing weird videos and 32 but music isn't good, I'd rather something like travel shows or something.

Nails done by Tina.

I had a 2pm appointment and it was my first time here at Jax Nails tho I live less than 10 mins away. I've tried places in Kapolei and been a regular at a place in Aiea. I also read reviews that made me even more skeptical. Well after getting a change in color and trimming of toes and fingers with a sweet gal Tina, I'm beyond convinced and more than happy with my nails! Wish I came sooner but will be going here from now on! Can't believe how nice the place was and the first place that I had an actual massage in a chair for short people! Very pleasant workers who greeted everyone pleasantly and not mundane like. Thank you Tina! I'm loving my nails!

paid $130 for this type of work at Jax don't go there!

i had my lashes done there and i felt rushed and got classic when i first got there she asked me if i needed to go to the restroom like if it was gonna been long like i normally take but she took lest then 30 minutes and it looked like she added 1 layer of one length lashes (i usually go kunia but figured go close to my house. kunia nails are amazing and they prices match their quality) lady at Jax told me it was $90 but i ended up leaving there with a $139 bill im so upset i have to be somewhere tomorrow and thought JAX would be amazing but wish i NEVER came here NEVER AGAIN I DONT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO THERE she made like i didn't know about Lashes!

The atmosphere & salon all around are amazing loved the workers supper comfortable & welcoming emm & Mimi are amazing! Definitely the spot to go !

Vai does an amazing job! I'd go in & she'd just do her thing. This is some of the work she's done on me over the years. Reasonable pricing too.

Eyebrows on FLEEK!!!!

The owner Emily knows what she's doing when it comes to eyebrows tinting waxing she got it down she hold it down for your girl fixing my eyebrows when too much hair is plucked or not shaped both evenly as she is well trusted with my eyebrows and I would refer her to a lot more people... every time I go there the wait is not that long they're real friendly nice and clean places meet a friendly faces good customer service plus it's the one of maybe two or three places that we have on the west side nail salons and offer the services that they do who could ask for more convenient right on the road from your house no traffic no long lines and I always leave satisfied

Tropical deluxe pedicure

This was my third time here and this time of all three was the absolute best. Facility is very clean and all new. I got the tropical deluxe pedicure and she really took care of me. The massages and results are amazing. Thank you so much Kim, probably one of the best pedicures I've had in a long time. No wait. No rush. Just time to focus on myself care. Thank you!

Beautiful Nails!

Violet NAILED it!!!!! Lol the coolest chick ever.. she took me right away, and was so open to my indecisiveness. I love this nail place and will continue to come just for violet. She made my nails look absolutely phenomenal and ready for the new year, all while making conversation with me and making me feel welcome. I asked for a specific color that was highly requested, so they were running low.. but she made it happen for me. Thank you violet!!! I'll be back soon!

When I called to discuss this directly, the tone of the conversation was very different from what's…read morebeing presented here. It felt short and dismissive. During that call, I stated that I was willing to provide medical documentation regarding the pink eye diagnosis, and that offer was not welcomed at the time. So it's confusing to now see that documentation is being requested publicly. The photo attached to my original review was taken immediately after the service. In that image, you can see that some lashes were not properly isolated and several were not lifted upward evenly. Additionally, the rods were in place for the duration of the 1.5-hour appointment while the facial, dermaplaning, and extractions were being performed. I understand policies exist, but the experience itself, both during the service and in the follow-up communication, is why I felt compelled to leave my review. Clients deserve to feel heard and taken seriously, especially when a medical issue follows a treatment. Ultimately, based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this business.

Hair removal means hair removal. That's way too much money for hair to still be left and eyebrows to be two different shapes. The artist I requested online wasn't the artist I got. Would have given 2 stars but the receptionist was so sweet and helpful. She would be the reason I come back but I'll stick to a place that's cheaper and gets all the hair. Places was super clean and nice inside just the service wasn't the best for eyebrow & lip waxing.

This place is good. Convenient. Easy to schedule and should pretty much work with most schedules. I…read moreleft my previous waxer who was amazing but our schedules never aligned. I think each waxer her is wonderful but there was inconsistent results. Some would use baby powder before my Brazilian so as to grab the hair better but others wouldn't. I would buy all their products to prevent ingrown hairs but then started to get more and more. They said it was bound to happen due to my heavy workouts and sports and the sweat. So I am going try electrolysis now. But nothing wrong with EWC.

SHERRIE SHERRIE SHERRIEEE MAH GIRLLLL--…read more I went in just to get a nose wax, and she noticed I had done a Brazilian before... but when I tell you I had no plans of getting one that day (especially after my first EWC experience was lowkey traumatic ), I took the risk--and I'm SO glad I did. She made both services feel completely comfortable. The nose wax? 10/10. She got every single hair effortlessly. The Brazilian? 100/10!! I'll definitely be coming back to her from now on. She talks story with you the entire time, which honestly makes such a difference. And she doesn't do the whole 1-3 countdown--which I personally LOVED for the Brazilian because it doesn't give your brain time to panic LOL Overall, she did an amazing job and really made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend her! The only thing I didn't like was not being able to use my 50% off coupon on this service. When I got my first Brazilian done I was a model. So it wasn't intentional for me to get this done. I did it to help a girl who was training. But it wasn't a paid service. But then I came back thinking I was gonna be able to use it since this time I was actually paying for the service. Told me I couldn't ‍ all in all I had a great experience with Sherrie.

Highly recommend!!…read more Aynjul is so freaking amazing. I've been coming to her for about a year now after my former lady left the island it was #destiny. I started doing a wax with her and now do multiple services with her. I love going for facials it has help my skin a lot. I don't leave with irritations or bruises. Her location is Zen! I love it.

Aynjul is angelic!…read more I made the mistake of not getting a wax in LA before a 2 week vacay in Oahu. Instead of shaving, which I detest, I decided to get a wax. I tried to do a last minute Brazilian wax in Waikiki, but could not find anyone on short notice. I still refused to shave and reached out to Aynjul. She did not have any openings that day, but fit me in the following day. I was staying near Laie, so it was a drive, but the reviews convinced me I should get a waxer that was worth the price, time, and effort. Radiant Skincare & Waxing delivered. Aynjul was running late to my appointment, but did not cancel me--which I really appreciated. She did an amazing job, despite my curly, coarse hair that grows in all different directions. She used several different types of wax and never double dipped. She was personable and engaging. I took two pain killers preemptively, but she was such a pro and gentle that I did not really feel anything. I have been getting waxes off-and-on for about 10 years, so I can say that this was the least painful Brazilian I've ever received. I felt pampered and loved it--something I did not even think was possible before this experience. I wish there was someone like Aynjul in LA that is hygiene conscious, friendly, and professional. Whenever I come back, I will definitely use her wonderful services.
