    Cat eye gel pedicure

    Professional nail technicians. There is a language barrier so be patient and communicate what you want! they can do a good job as long as your clear about what you're looking to get (might need to tell them a few times so they fully understand.) menu prices are base prices ask about the add ons your getting. Shaping good but not too crisp. Line work when painting could be better. Reused foot scrubbers was the least pleasing part of experience. Still yet, would consider again.

    This nail salon was a quick, quiet and affordable respite, nestled right off the Waikiki strip. Without an appointment, I walked to - and was turned away from - three separate salons before I found Kūhiō. At Kuhio, I was greeted by two separate technicians who worked in tandem to get my nails and toes cleaned up and painted in under an hour. The shop is small but the vibe was calm and quiet. Candidly, I think they're underpriced. I paid $100 for a gel pedi and gel color change on my finger nails, which is cheaper than I pay back home in the Midwest. I definitely recommend Kuhio Nails & Spa for a no frills, but high quality and affordable nail experience.

    I had a great experience, not a fancy vibe but I thought the quality was good for the price. I got a regular mani-pedi with regular polish for $63. Great color choices, nice massage chair, and had a large TV playing very relaxing arial travel videos. Easy to find location too. I would come back here. A gentleman came in while I was there and asked for a foot massage and they only charge $40 for 30 mins.

    Went for a pedicure and received chemical burns on top of a terrible pedicure. They still made me pay, and this pic is two days after the service. I would avoid this salon.

    I was in need of a pedicure and Kuhio Nails was just down the street from my hotel. I chose the deluxe spa pedicure because I wanted the extra exfoliation treatment. My technician took her time and was even forgiving of my giggles as I am pretty ticklish when they are removing callouses. Great service at a great price with a smile.

    While wondering the streets of Oahu we decided to stop in the lil shop for a quick pedicure. The staff were super friendly and happy fast. Once the pedicure was done they told us to stay in the massage chairs and relax while the paint dried. What a great start to our relaxing vacation in Oahu!

    Love getting my pedicures in Honolulu if I'm in town and I enjoy trying new places. Today I selected Kuhio Nail & Spa just because I was walking by. It is a modest and efficient salon. The gentleman who checked me out was very very friendly and pleasant....the lady who did my pedicure did a good job and created a beautiful design on my toes. I would definitely recommend and give it a try if you are in the area.

    My view in the salon. They should have more pride in their workspace
    I S.

    Just go somewhere else to get your nails done. Here's the thing, this place needs to adjust their pricing dramatically to match the service and environment this salon offers. Maximum they should be charging for a pedicure is $15 and for a manicure $10. Then it'd be fair. Instead I was charged $55 for both. The salon: 2/5 it's super rundown. My massage chair had tears in it and didn't even work anymore to scoot me forward or backward. And the women working instead of offering me another chair that might've worked, they kept me in the chair and I had to sit super uncomfortably during the whole service so that she could reach my hands and feet. The service: 2/5 No massage, no cleaning of my cuticles (even after I asked) she said "my toes are fine and didn't need it." Just lazy and badly done. Also the other women working were watching videos on their phone super loudly. There was nothing enjoyable about my experience. Just go somewhere else, you won't regret it.

    The 73 dollar fill

    So scammy with the price for very bad work.. was told 50 for an awful fill (she literally drew blood), decided to still leave a 20 percent tip to be nice. I was then confused why the receipt said 63 dollars but thought ok 3 dollars extra that's fine. Then she was yelling at me for a tip again?? When I asked about the price she just told me it was 60 now and then told me to write 10 on the lip line again for a total of 73 dollars. Was honestly a joke. You can't be scammy, rude, and terrible at your craft. Pick 2 of the 3

    This was my 3rd and final time going here! Never again! First experience wasn't great but not horrible. Second visit they botched the polish on my toes, looked a child had painted them! Yesterday, was told they no longer do acrylic only solar. Only he charged me $30 instead of $25 for a fill in, last was done 3 wks ago. Then he cut my left index finger so bad it bled and it still hurt's today! That was the 2nd time he hurt me while doing my nails! Then as if that wasn't enough nails are way too short on left hand, uneven w/right hand and even finger to finger! Polish is awful too! I live here, have for 45 yrs these folks take no pride in their work, upscale too hard and do a lousy job! Save yourself the headache and go else where! Best place to go is T's in Chinatown but finding the time can be difficult, wish they'd open a salon in Waikiki or maybe train people!

    Bubbles in Polish, Polish on skin, nails not filed smooth

    Prices were high compared to other higher quality salons in the area. I paid $35 for a pedicure and $55 for enhancement removal and gel Polish manicure. Polish selection was very limited. Quality was pretty bad. There are bubbles in my Polish after it dried. The Polish used on me was thick and old. Polish was left on my skin. Nails were not filed smoothly and left jagged. Staff were friendly.

That was by wife. I was talked into a foot rub. As my feet soaked, the sweet woman bright a pedicure tray over. I had to deny three offers to just let her clip my already short nails. Then she proceeded to give a foot rub which consisted of running her thumbs and forefingers along my lower leg bones for 30 minutes. She also gave me a run down on her family and asked multiple questions about how long I was staying and where and what I did for a living. My entire mission while in that chair was to not cry or flinch. When she was done, I felt comfortable concluding she had not one single day of training in massage therapy. My bill was $60. My wife's was $42 for gel plus $25 for two flowers. All in all, we left laughing (and limping), but $150 lighter than when we went in.

Every visit feels welcoming, calm, and intentional, and I always leave feeling noticeably more relaxed and taken care of. I've had a facial with KC, and she is incredibly gentle, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire process, which I really appreciate. I'm also currently in the middle of a 3-part hypercavitation series focused on my arms, along with liposculpting on my stomach, and I can honestly say I already feel and see a difference after just two sessions. I look and feel leaner, which has been so motivating. I've done these sessions with both Brittni and KC, and they've been amazing. What really sets Remedy apart is that these sessions aren't just quick treatments. They include a full-body lymphatic massage, red light therapy over the face during the massage, followed by the hypercavitation and liposculpting. You can truly tell they take pride in providing a high-quality, thoughtful experience rather than rushing clients in and out. After each service, they take the time to go over thorough aftercare instructions, which makes you feel supported and confident in your results. I'll definitely be back to try other services I haven't had yet. Highly recommend.

What I enjoyed: The therapists were very professional and respectful of our preferences. They sent a questionnaire ahead of time to understand what we wanted, and when I emailed with some additional requests, they were able to accommodate everything, which I really appreciated. The massage room itself was beautiful, with a big bathtub for a coconut bath after the treatment and its own bathroom. The amenities were great too: snacks, drinks, fruits, a dry sauna, steam sauna, and a waiting lounge overlooking the ocean with lay-down chairs. The lounge wasn't busy at all, and you could easily spend an hour there relaxing. Booking was easy via email and the staff was very responsive. Valet parking is included. What could've been better: The jacuzzi was out of order during our visit, and I wasn't informed ahead of time. I had to ask for a prorated rate, and the person checking us out initially didn't want to give the discount until their manager stepped in. For a big hotel-affiliated spa, I expected better communication and consistency on something like this. The showers also ran out of bath products (either shampoo or body wash), and the locker area was missing some amenities I'd expect at this price point, like makeup remover and skincare beyond generic body lotion. I also had trouble getting a receipt with my name on it initially, though they eventually sent one. One other thing to note: the spa is right above the hotel beach and pool area, so you can hear people rather than just ocean waves or spa music. It didn't bother me too much, but it's something to be aware of if you're expecting total tranquility. Despite these issues, it was still a wonderful experience and I'd recommend it for a special occasion!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
