    Cut on the pinky
    Rhea C.

    I didn't want to write a review but it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. It started off okay since they started off right away with me and everything went well, went in there for a mani and pedi. It went downhill when my services was almost done and that's where my mind was blown. Lady who did my mani or gel extensions turned my massage chair off and said "sorry sorry only 5 minute massage." And I said "excuse me?" She said "extra charge." Then they started rushing and being rude because another lady came in and that's where I got cut! Then that lady who turned off my massage chair, turned my chair back on and started being nice. I was being rushed out the door and everything...don't get me wrong I love how it turned out, just the services was so bad... :(

    I feel super hydrated and clean after my first dermaplaning.

    At first I was scared because I never got this service before and my experience was great. They put lots of moisture in every steps so your skin is protected in every step of the procedure. I love the instant glow and brightness it gives. I'm def coming back for this again in 6months.

    Keiki pedicure!

    This small nail salon treated us like family when we walked in without appointments today. My adult pedicure was great and very relaxing, but what really impressed me was how sweet all of the ladies were with my daughter (6). When she asked if she could choose two colors, they warmly replied that she could choose ten! Once seated, they offered her snacks (Hawaiian popcorn) and even cleaned her hands with a baby wipe when she finished. They painted cute little flowers on her big toes too. The ladies here are so kind and excellent manicurists too. In the world of Covid, I appreciated being in a smaller shop as well.

    Love coming here, nice and small ( 3 chairs) always available, accommodate, they take such good care of my daughter too when she comes! Stacy is the best Parking is available on the street if there is none in the lot

    After having repeatedly bad experiences elsewhere, I got a tip from a friend to try out this salon. It doesn't look like much from the outside, or from the inside for that matter, but the experience is worth it. I think the thing that I like best about this salon is that it is super small and quiet. I never have to play go-don't go with 11 other people being shuffled between manis and pedis, and the place is always ready to go. Selection of colour is good, and I've never had a bad pedicure here. The chairs are old and some of them don't work, and the place is a little run down, but they do a great job on my nails, and it lasts for weeks. Definitely my new nail home for Kailua with easy parking and super reasonable prices.

    Super nice and friendly ladies. They were very sweet and maybe do great at pedicures and manicures, but had no clue about doing tips and longer nails - which would have been fine if they had told me, unfortunately they did not tell me. The nice lady who did my nails realized that they looked horrible and was trying to fix them but it was quite clear she didn't know what she was doing - see pics! She seemed to take care with some details so like I said might be great for manicures but not tips and dips. I had to dig the glue out from underneath. It's been 24 hours and I'm going to have them re-done

    Lash prices March 2019

    Classic pedicure price $28 Add manicure price $10 Total. $38 Manicure price $17 Deluxe pedicure price $45 Add flower design price $6 Add rhinestone price. $6 Nail color Average short/long brushstrokes per nail 17-24 Top coat Average short/long brushstrokes per nail 6-11 If you have ever had a manicure/pedicure you know that a good nail tech can polish a nail with 2/3 long strokes. After the mani/pedi she escorted me to the chair to dry my nails next to a fan built into the table. I don't know how long I was sitting there, but she told me I had 3 more minutes. When I was done I did the nail test to see if my nails were dry to my satisfaction. I took my nail and lightly pressed it into the thickest coat of the polish, and if there was a dent then it is not dry. She saw me do this, and said "oh maybe a little longer". The price is not bad, but the technique needs improvement.

    Lovely lady owner. She gave me a thorough foot massage with attention, intention and care during my pedicure! They usually NEVER do that. I know, I have been practicing massage therapy for 25 years. Love that it's small (got the little place to myself!) and not super chemically smelling. Nice relaxing music. Overall very nice experience. Highly recommend, as a matter a fact, I just booked an appt for my husband for tomorrow. :-)

    My pinky's crooked .
    Mahelani O.

    I decided to give them a shot since my regular salon was full Initially Everything was going good the lady that did my pedicure was awesome which is why I rated the 2 Stars but when it came to my nails I showed her the first picture I didn't want the jewels but at least one marble nail on each hand. It was going good til the end every single nail has a flaw there all not smooth rather bumpy and crooked also one of my nails has already broke under and she didn't even do the marble design that I wanted. I refused to pay for service I even apologized saying I'm sorry but I just don't like it . I'm so sad guys my nails Hurt. I got them removed the next day at no charge .

I haven't been to this nail salon in years, just because I usually go to another spot in Kaneohe, since it's closer to home... so I decided to give this place a shot because I was desperate to get a pedi, despite the not so good reviews.. my nails were looking crusty, dusty, musty. I love that I was able to get a walk-in appointment immediately. Convenience is a plus, there are many chairs & staff available. The massage chairs are outdated, I couldn't read the buttons BUT it did do the job. Now for the service, it was good, my massage felt nice & relaxing, the results came out nice, but everyone & their mama is saying it only lasts for a week.. so we shall see. Little disappointed because I didn't get the mask for my deluxe pedicure... I guess the biggest downfall is the customer service. I just felt uncomfortable how my nail tech, and the one beside him were speaking in Vietnamese, snickering, & laughing. We all have that thought that comes to our mind if people are talking shit or not, but it really is peoples' body language, demeanor, and vibe they give off, which makes me feel this way. I know they are aware of this. Now, don't come for me saying I'm a racist haole, Karen, from "Krylua." I'm actually hapa, asian / white / Hispanic, & my mom is an immigrant from Okinawa. I can speak Japanese and I think it's beautiful to embrace your culture & language. That is NOT the issue. It's giving that negative aura & attitude that comes across as they're being disrespectful / are probably taking behind your back or actually in front of you. I didn't like the way that I felt, so unfortunately, this nail salon will be a pass for me, and I won't be coming back.. which is a shame because I would've been a good customer & I tip good.

    I used to like this place but the quality of service has really gone down. Worst pedi I ever had…read more After going home and taking a shower I noticed how bad my toes looked and my nails aren't much better.

Since this was decided overnight we didn't give them any warning. But they took it in stride. There were three customers there when 5 of us arrived between 9-9:30. There were four girlies getting pedicures, one set of acrylic nails and one gel manicure. We all walked out the door around 11:30am. I think this is spectacular timing which included a few other customers entering for services who weren't turned away and thrown right into the rotation. Personally I got my gel off and regular nail polish on my nails. A week later and they are still looking good. No chips! Everything I encountered was clean and sanitary. They also lent us a cart so we could set out some breakfast treats for our little party. I recommend this gem of a business and maybe we will give them a heads up next time!
