I walked in without an appointment and was taken right away. Mind you, I got there as soon as they were opened. I wanted a pedicure and chose their deluxe pedicure for $45. Included the polish, nail trim, 10 minute massage, paraffin wax for my feet. I really like my nail tech, Annie. I got a toe cramp and she knew what to do to relax it. She worked fast but she was still very gentle, asking if I was okay and to let her know if I feel any pain. I had no pain while she worked on me. I'm very happy with the results and I will return when I want to get a pedicure done. Keep in mind for gel polish, there's an additional cost of $15. It was all worth it to me. Go visit them when you're in the area. read more

This place small but very friendly I found. I came in because my feet needed care so bad im always in my feet callous and ingrown nail is what I desperately needed and Anna took care of it I didnt feel a things She is top notch I know. When I go some other places I feel pain and I didn't feel anything it's amazing. I am coming back again . read more

shaping wasn't even at all, super rude about price. She didn't even clean up after shaping or filing, painted over dust so bumpy nails. Polish wasn't even fully thick on the end. No cuticle oil, definitely will not recommend or ever come back here... for $157.06, PLUS SHE TIPPED HERSELF WHEN I PAID, definitely not worth it. My toes were OKAY and the massage was the only good thing. read more

I walked past this nail salon and noticed that they renovated and got new massage chairs. I was immediately able to get an appointment and chose to get the deluxe pedicure. The lady who did my pedicure was great, I would go back for sure. It was $45 but they were offering a 10 percent discount. Kind of expensive but it was worth it. I will go back again! read more

First visit to this neighborhood salon. It has new ownership, is fresh and clean and quite attractive. Had Spa Pedicure and manicure. Technician Ana did a beautiful job on both. From what I witnessed, other customers received excellent service, as well. I am happy to have found them and will be a regular! Highly recommend them! read more

It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. The man I had was very polite. My nails came out to $83. read more

The woman that brings her children in consistently tries to charge me extra or not finish the whole service. Today she whispered 'ill give a massage next time'. But charged me for the whole manicure service. The last time she tried to charge me extra and said she will do it right 'next time'. It's really terrible. read more

I always see Ana for spa pedicures & love her work. She is professional & thorough. I like the Delux treatment and use the time to relax. The salon is somewhat small & quiet, beautifully maintained. Ana is the best & I highly recommend her. read more

Great service and great price to match. Everything is very clean and looks new. Definitely recommend.

My daughter and I had a mani/pedi day. The salon was newly renovated and looked great, and the staff were very accommodating!

Had a regular pedi done today by Ana. Not personable at all. Didn't say hello when I walked in the door. Just said, "11:00?" Then asked me if I wanted regular color and pointed to a cart of mixed nail polishes for me to go through. While doing my pedi she barely said a sentence to me and every time she wanted me to take out or put my feet in the water she just slapped the bottom of the chair and said, "in or out". I felt like a dog. Meanwhile the 2 gentlemen giving other women pedi's had conversations with their customers. Dibs to the people who gave her good reviews. At least you were treated like a human and not a dog. This used to be a place for convenience since I live nearby but I guess I'll be finding somewhere else to do my pedicures. read more

New owners. Remodeled. I've always come here but won't be returning. I had a mani pedi. Nails weren't filed or shaped after clipping. Didn't even remove dirt under nails. Felt like a rush job. Too bad. I miss Lily. read more

Very clean, nice people. Ask for Tan or the owner. Both guyz are awesome. Price is reasonable and lots of parking

Used to be so good- second time here after new ownership and don't think I'll be back, seems like they don't want you there. 2/2 bad experience with different techs. Didn't even make sure I was comfortable, didn't open table or show how to use chair, didn't remove all polish until I pointed it out and didn't help put slippers back on. read more

I didn't have an appt and was able to get seen right away. Clean and seemed to be recently renovated. The nail tech did a great job. Give them a try. read more

I used to live in Kailua and moved to town. That doesn't stop me from driving to Kahaluu to get my consistently awesome pedicure from Mylynh. She is really nice and will go above and beyond to give a great service. I have always been very happy with her work. She also helped me with some issues I was having with an ingrown nail. The last place I was going was cutting my nails in a way that is prone to ingrowns. I am very happy at my new home nail salon. The only issue I had was the owner giving me a dirty look when I was late for my appointment, however that was my fault. I failed to call and change the time and showed up a few hours late since I live in town and got delayed at another appointment. My bad! But didn't deserve the look she gave me either lol read more

Ms Anna was very sweet and gave me the best pedicure I've had on island in 2 years. I struggle matching colors here due to the dearth of POC. Ms Anna helped me select a very complimentary color (one by which I haven't been able to find as I prefer this color when I'm home in California). I'm a FT student at UH so it's easy to take whatever's available and go. Ms Anna made sure my color was to my liking. The ambience inside was very clean and quiet. read more

My sister and I came here for manicures and loved our results! We got Almond shaped acrylics and they turned out perfect! The woman helping us took the time to shape each nail perfectly and to make sure they weren't too thick or bulky. I give 4 stars because unfortunately there was only one employee who knew how to do fake nails, so we had to wait for each other to finish and ended up being in there for a while... But overall had a good experience with great results! read more

Jenny is the owner of she did my massage and pedi. She is so awesome. I tell you I have never had a sweeter pedi in my life!! Thank you Jenny!! Love you!! read more

Walked in at 4:30pm on a Friday and got helped right away. I did a gel pedicure with removal of old gel polish for $52.36. She filed off some calluses, gave me a calf massage and pushed back my cuticles. She applied the perfect amount of pressure to get the job done and the polish was painted well with no gaps or chips! I would definitely come back. Minus 1 star because she didn't check in very often (asking if I like the shape, color, etc) however she did a great job overall and didn't try to upsell me. read more

Their service was quick, high quality, and affordable. Booked same day! Very cute interior. Highly recommend!

I have never gone to this place before but looking at the reviews and websites it looked like a decent place. I only wanted to get my nails off thinking they soak them off like every other place I have been too, but no they ripped them off and by doing that she rip my natural nail which made it bleed. She then proceeded to put glue on it when I told her multiple times I didn't want it because it looked very unsanitary but continued to do so. I suggest going somewhere else. read more

amazing service my nails look great reasonable prices this place is amazing and 100% would come here again

The newly renovated nail center is welcoming and bright. The service is improved and the quality is above expectations.

Went back here for a pedicure, but was pointedly ignored. Literally the only person in the place. 700 Club blasting on the TV; I reserve the right not to have to be at church when I get a pedicure. I'll try them on another day. read more

My favorite place to receive pedicures. Auntie and her staff are always kind and welcoming. I love getting a leg massage while receiving a back massage from the chair. I always make an appointment in advance, and I have no issues getting the service on time. read more

On Friday 7/1/22, I had an appt. for a Gel Manicure to be done over my pre-existing gel nails, no accrylics involved these were my own nails that were at least 6 wks old from my prior manicure from another salon, and still quite hard / solid except for the grow out already being seen. When my service was done, the shape was nice color was good, but by Sunday my nails were cracking off to the side which I then lost 2, then by Tuesday 3 more nails cracked for which I had no other choice but to remove. So within 4 days I lost 5 of my own fingernails that was just serviced. As of this review there are 2 more nails that are cracked and ready to be clipped off. I wasted time and money on this service, I will never visit this salon again.... read more

No wait on Saturday?? Say what?! I had read some reviews and was extremely hesitant about visiting this place. One of my co workers said this place was quiet which is right up my alley! It was good, I splurged a little on the deluxe pedicure and was really impressed with customer service. It was super quite and my feet and hands look good:) I am thinking about making this my go to spot now:) good service and decent prices a regular mani is 15 and pedi is 26 that's not bad. They had the cooking network on the television and they all seem very happy for your business. read more

Very happy with my experience. I went in yesterday for a gel manicure. They were patient and did a nice job even though I didnt quite know what I wanted. They also do very tasteful wax jobs. They have very fair pricing. I will be back for sure. A side note, they just got a new owner as of 2 months ago, whom I met. Very cool lady. So keep that in mind when looking at older reviews. read more

Pretty clean & nice and quiet. Nail techs are quick but very skilled nice little random nail spot in Temple valley. Only downside is probably the massage chairs seemed kind of junk maybe was just the he one I had. Will be returning next trip to the East side. read more

I was so excited to try this place because I heard their prices was good and the service was good. I was disappointed because I went in for a pedi with paraffin wax and mani (gel). Never got the paraffin wax for my feet and top of that when she was doing my gel she did something to my pointer finger will not stop bleeding. I was overcharged. On the sign it said Pedi/Mani (gel) was $52 but I was charged over $70. Very disappointed!!! read more

Love love love this place!!! I've been to sooo many nail salons all over the island and I'm sooo happy I found one with a nail technician who is so awesome!!! Jenny takes pride in what she does and I've been here about 4 times (close to 10 with my daughters visits) and not once have I had nail lift, gel come off too soon, or any other nail issues that I've experienced at other places..I am a very satisfied and returning customer along with my daughter as well. There is also a huge selection in nail polish, and gel colors!!! read more

Koolau Nail Center - Gel full set (fill) by Jenny - Nail Salons Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

I hesitate writing this because I love this place & it's so easy to get my time in but I'd be doing Jenny & Annie a disservice by not saying anything. I would consider myself a loyal customer to any establishment who has good service....For 15 years I was loyal to a nail salon in Kaneohe and had to change when service went extremely bad. I had passed Koolau Nails daily but didn't like the way it looked, old & run down. I was desperate to find a new place & everywhere else in Kaneohe, always a wait or a huge miss! I had the time & told myself to chance it. Pedi & a full set.....a deep breath & a year and a half later.....this hole in the wall place is the best! Owned by Jenny now, who is also the NAIL guru, is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!! Since going to her, I get compliments about my nails ALL the time......Competitive pricing but quiet and unassuming.......This is definitely go to before any work trip, meeting, vacation (before/after) everything!!!!! read more

The whole pedicure experience was junk. The staff and owner were not friendly. Lady acted like she didn't want to my dads pedicure. There was no massage, was only a quick 30 minutes and once other customers showed up they just left my daughter and dad sitting there for a while. I do not recommend this nail salon. read more

I never write reviews but this was by far my worst nail experience I have ever had. The first picture is what I wanted and the last couple of pictures is what I got. I asked if she could do it and she said yes and half way through I looked down and thought she would fix my hand but then asked me to put my hand under the light and that's when I asked her to take it off and just put a solid color. There was no way I would walk out of that salon with that. It was the biggest waste of my time, and the work they do is not worth the 40-60$ they charge for a fill for acrylics. Don't waste your time. Seriously made me cry when I went home. read more
