They're are many wonderful nail salons on the island, but this is not one of them. I should've read the previous reviews beforehand. Brought my mom here for an impromptu Mother's Day treat that ultimately turned into a fail. Her nail tech was sloppy. She failed to apply a base coat and then continued to unevenly apply polish on my mom's toes. My mom politely asked her to re-do it and the tech have attitude, then handed my mom off to someone else. Totally unprofessional and uncomfortable. I hope they take the time to improve their service, because the shop is nice and they have a great location in the mall. read more

Desperate times call for desperate measures--hence how I ended up at this mall nail place near my inlaws place. The $25 pedicure involved your standard, never cleaned tub with massage chair. One of these years I am going to get a gross infection from these. The women was somewhat thorough in the cleaning and trimming part. She made quite a mess removing my old polish and was attempting to remove it all with one swab of cotton. In the process she smeared it all over my toes, and it took 7 minutes (I was timing) to get it all off my feet. In the meantime it looked like a blue massacre. The polish part is where it all got sucky. She didn't put anything to separate my toes, as I guess using $.03 of tissue is a great expense, so she got all huffy when I couldn't hold my toes apart steadily and about four toes in fetched the oh-so-expensive tissues. Then, right after apply the top coat she wants me to put my feet, including the tissue laced into my toes, into my flip flops, and in the process jacks up the wet polish on my big toe. (raise your paw if you didn't see that coming). She just slops on another swipe of the polish and tells me to go to the dryer. After the dryer it looks even worse, so I politely ask her to fix it. She does, but says "That's because you ruined it." Rude. Her fix is 20 more seconds of polish, but I wasn't going to stick around more. read more

For a basic manicure you definitely pay more than the service and job you get. She didn't ask what shape I wanted for my nails (I have a nice natural nail shape that I wanted to keep), she just started filing. She filed my thumb nail down til it was flat and didn't round out the edges. I had to ask her to fix it and she did it reluctantly. Very stingy on the lotion. After I used the nail dryers my nails developed air bubbles and some started wrinkling in the corners. Place looks nice but the service and manicure were not on the same level. Total turn around time was around 30 minutes....much shorter than other places I've gone to and it shows in the manicure. Update: just got a closer look at my nails and they are all unevenly shaped and lopsided. UGH read more

I used to go to Lilly, the owner's wife, regularly for 2 -3 yrs when they used to be downstairs in the Windward Mall. It used to be personable, they took their time, stayed late and remembered your name. Since they moved upstairs by Macy's they are bigger, but busier and customer service seemed to slip. I got a gift cert, and since it's so close to my house, I tried it . So disappointed, pedicure took only 30 minutes instead of the normal 45 min-1 hour, got me out of my chair early sprayed Nail dry on my toes, telling me it would be fine, and I ended up smudging my big toes! I decided to give it a second chance with Lilly, and as much as I like her and her work, I don't think I'll be going there again. If it weren't for her, I would give this place only 2 stars... PS. If you are ever in the Kakaako area by Kapiolani Bd, try Tiffany's Nails, she's great! read more

To everyone reading this I will give you my honest experience to save you your time and money service was terrible I walked in signed in the usual sat down waited for a short time I would say 3 minutes I see the lady didn't get her name started looking at me than gives me an attitude face ok I'll just look past that than she's asking me what I want I said full set and I want my nails long she said they Charge for long nails so I say alright no prob than as she's doing my nails this fucking bitchStarts getting rough with my hands and nails I immediately told her to stop and look at my cuticle ends bleeding only now the bitch realizes to slow her fucking roll luckily I needed my nails done for a party oh god will not be coming here Again close this place down!!! 2 stars I should have knows thats terrible shake my head ! read more

Absolutely the worst service ever. When I walked in one of the associates act like she didn't see me. I was passed off to two different associates. The entire process I felt like I was being rushed. My nails gel nails were uneven. The wrong color was placed on my nails. The demo was not the same as the actual color that was applied to my nails. There were also bubbles on each top coat of each nail and the entire nail wasn't painted. The worst I have ever experienced. Bad customer service and overall bad job!!! read more

See all

NEVER GO HERE. I got my eyebrows waxed here and they severely burned the middle of my face. I got it done on march 17, 2014. And I still have a scar on my face. When I went back a couple days later the lady denied that they were the ones who burned me and after a long chat she gave me my money back and recommended cortisone cream for this burn that took several layers of my skin off. I've had to go see a dermatologist for this and he confirmed it will be a scar. Their service is horrible and they wouldn't admit it? This place needs to go under inspection immediately or have the lady who did my face fired. Again I repeat do not go here if you want a scar on your face read more

Me and my fiancé went there today cuz we didn't want to drive to town to our usual place for a pedi; I guess we shouldn't have gotten lazy about it becuz the place isn't worth going back ever again. Like one of the previous reviews had said, the water was cold. The guy even rinse my legs off with COLD water. (Not even lukewarm!) despite the fact that the coloring wasn't horribly done, nothing else was good enough really. The two guys doing our nails were constantly watching their football games and chatting; barely scrub the bottom of my feet for 30 seconds; barely even massage our legs for 5 mins. Check this out: the massage chair was set to go for 20 mins and we were done soon after the massage chair had stopped. The guy buffed my fiance's nails, and didn't notify him that it's $5 extra. I could have done that for my fiancé! If the guy had done a great job and charged extra that would have been fine; but he barely did anything and didn't even buff his nails all to the same standard! We left angry without leaving a tip. Really, for what they have done they should be glad that we paid the full amount. Oh by the way, their awesome customer service is written on the wall: "all of the nail personnels are all individual contractors; if you have any problem with them please deal with him/her directly." That's just great. I'll never go back again. read more

If I could give this place NO STARS, I would. But since I am obligated to give at least one, I will do it purely out of no option on my part. This was my second time going to this salon since they have moved upstairs. My first time wasn't so bad, I wasn't thrilled about my nails but I wasn't completely upset like I am now. I figured I'd give this place another go because the woman who serviced me, Mimi, was very kind the first time around. What a terrible misconception on my part... I went to Mimi again. When she finished placing the acrylic and gel coating on my nails she immediately asked me to pay. I didn't think much of it at the time - but now I should have told her to finish first so I could see the end result. It took an hour and a half for her to finish my nails because of the fact that she couldn't understand how I wanted them done (even though I specifically explained it to her and even showed her a picture). When she finally understood what I wanted after wiping, repainting, and huffing a few times - It of course turned out... Well, terrible! My fingers and nails had a multitude of smeared nail polishes stuck to it. Did she even bother to clean it off? No, of course not. The nail polish was sloppy and rushed through as if she had somewhere else to be - AND APPARENTLY she did. After finishing up my polish she took me to the dryer, turned it on without another word, and from what I understood went to take a break because she needed to buy her vegetables from the farmer's market. Okay? Awesome customer service there! I felt a bit bad at first because when she asked me to pay I didn't tip her. I wanted to wait till the end because I assumed my nails were going to look pretty nice and I wanted to thank her in a more polite and personal manner. Well, since she left and did such a "WONDERFUL" job I decided that waiting for her to return (so that I may tip her) wasn't going to be necessary. To no surprise by the time I got home the nail polish had ALREADY scuffed off onto my door handle when getting out of my car. She told me to dry twice under the dryer and that is what I did. Sighhhhhh! I didn't even want to bother going back for them to fix it. I wiped all of the caked on nail polish off of my nails, hands, and fingers then redid the polish myself. I defiantly learned my lesson and am NEVER going back to Le's Nail Studio. read more

Pretty bummed when I leave a place and the rhinestones fall off before I even leave the Parking lot. They were closed already so I didn't go back in. The only plus side of this place is that they're right inside the mall and open pretty late. I work In a gym and need my rhinestones to be secured on well. But when they're falling off within an hour I have a problem. Convenient location, but otherwise? Not the hugest fan. read more

They have the worst customer service, ever. I walked in, signed in, and as I stood there the workers just stared at me. No hello or welcome, nothing. I understand that, yes, they were with other customers but all the while I waited, no one came to say anything like someone will be with you or at least let me know how long thr wait is. Nothing. They would glance at me every so often and stare and then continue working. I waited for 15-20 min and not one person said anything. Or got up to speak with me. No one is at the front desk either. Terrible. I walked out. read more

While it wasn't the best mani/pedi I've ever had in my life, it definitely got the job done. A girlfriend and I were in the mall and in desperate need of some attention to our digits due to the fact our husbands were coming home from training the next day. Every where around town would be closed by the time we got there, so I had to go against the Yelp flow and try this place out. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't walk away with the most fabulous experience, but I didn't walk away with hepatitis or MRSA either! They squeezed us in right before they closed and got to work on both of us right away. I think it was Steve who did both my mani and pedi. He didn't talk much, which I actually prefer sometimes. My friend got acrylics and we were worried that them being pressed for time would result in her coming out with some funky nails, but lo and behold, she walked away with a pretty sweet set of pink and whites! I'd say Le's is like the Taco Bell of nail salons. It's not the best for you, and it's not the greatest out there, but it's there to comfort you when you need it! read more

Walked in for a Mani/Pedi and was helped about 5 minutes later. That was surprising due to them having a lot of clients at the time of my arrival. I got a male worker and had a horrible experience. I felt like he was rushing through my pedi. His massage was painful and not relaxing at all. I was relieved when he was finally done with massaging my feet it was that sore. He put the wrong color polish on my toes, During my mani he pulled the skin on my cuticle and it bled and charged me full price. To top it off, he had bad breath. 2 thumbs waaay down for this place. read more

Steve is THE BEST here. I always see him when my nails need a little work. He's so careful and meticulous with his nail art. He won't rush, always asks to make sure I'm happy with his work before moving on, and won't force any conversation if you don't want to chat. He's very friendly. Also, if you're a cuticle freak and have sensitive cuticles like I do, he'll be very gentle and not take off too much like other technicians do. If you want amazing nail art, especially any glitter fades, he is the guy to see. 5 stars for Steve! Call to make sure he's working before you go in! You won't be disappointed. read more

Le's Nail Studio - Shellac fade with the mint green shellac polish and glitter on top! Done by Steve. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Terrible service. A friend and I came in for a mani/pedi. The place was empty, we were quickly "greeted" by a technician. "Greeted" = "Sign in. Are you together? Ok, go pick color." My pedi was rushed and not relaxing at all. The water was cold, the jets seemed to be non-existent but I did see the water moving around from the top. No massage. My mani was of equal disappointment. They sat my friend away from me though both seats were empty in the row I was placed in. He cut the tip of my nails flat and didn't bother going back to shape. When he attempted to give rub/massage, he scratched me multiple times. And when it finally came time to pain, he did a terrible job. The best thing in this place was probably the big screen TV. -_____- I didn't get the guys name, but he had an elvis-shaped hair-do. IDK if he speaks english cuz he didn't say anything besides "pay now? full color", as he showed me the receipt. Which I assumed was him asking me to pay before he paints my nails as to not ruin it? read more

Got my nails done. Gel, which was uber expensive and Definitely not worth the money plus tip. The guy however did take his time, but still happened to have Weird shape nails that was not square shape. Looks nice far away though,Of course :/ Later in the day I felt the nail glue that was stuck to my skin above my real nail. (Don't know how to explain) but it is super Sore! I also did my eyebrows, and the lady did a messed up job. Super thin, looking like I had no eyebrows. Definitely wouldn't come back here again. read more

I was hesitant after reading reviews but my experience was GREAT! Julie did a great job on my gel pedi and manicure. I will definitely be back read more

This place is pretty quick and usually they don't have too long of a line but like all nail places you get the typical nail techs that look at you, laugh, and then turn to their buddy to say something in their native language. Gotta love nail places, but I guess some people can't live without them. LOL. This place is pretty clean, their pedicures cost about $26.00 and they have a large selection of colors to choose from. They are located on the second floor of Windward Mall right next to Macy's. Le's Nail Salon used to take appointments over the phone but I called for an appointment and they told us that they don't take appointments and to just come in. The guy that did my pedicure was pretty good, not the best foot massager but he was ok. I'll probably go here again if I can't find another place. read more

They literally charge you for everything here, I had my nails done here and the next day I ran my fingers through my hair and my hair was getting stuck all between my nail bed because it was lifting up so not the business! I don't usually go to this nail salon but I really needed my nails done for the next day, thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt but they totally proved me right! I'd give no stars if I could but that's not an option! Btw I got taken care of by Nancy I WILL NEVER COME BACK / SO DISAPPOINTED!! read more

My first experience here was unsatisfactory as the technician barely put any effort into my pedi... BUT I decided to give it another shot and I found Ana and have been seeing her for pedicures ever since. Now, don't walk in expecting a high class pedi. If u can find the right nail tech, it's decent. Ana's the only one I see and I always call to check that she's working before I go in. read more

I'd say overall I had a better experience than most here. I was greeted and helped right away by a younger man then told to sit in my pedicure chair until one of the ladies was done with her current customer. My pedicure was pretty basic, nothing fancy and felt much shorter than most but the end result looks really good! Next was my gel manicure. My nails are super this from doing dip nails for months so she was super gentle with them and added an extra base coat and top coat. Overall I had a good experience but probably wouldn't go back. For the price I paid, i can go to my favorite spot for cleaner and better services. read more

Usually I never get pedicures or ful. Seta. But this place was awesome. They were all polite and were. able to fit me in. Lilly. Was sososo nice she dost solar nails in almost no times and was into every details. She dost speak much but that's cool. All that care Bout ia that they did a greY fucking job and will go back. I could care less if their talkative or not. read more

The shortest and worst pedicure ever!! I didn't even bother to tip the man because it only took 20 minutes to do my toes. I will never go there again. But, there is another reason not to go here...They have a sign up on the wall that says if you don't receive an itemized invoice then your services received are free. So, a customer who was leaving asked her nail tech for an itemized receipt. The nail tech acted like she didn't know what she was talking about. So, then the customer talked to another person who worked there and they all acted like they didn't know what she was talking about. Either take down the sign or honor your signage. They do bad business there. The only reason they stay in business, I think, is because they are in the mall and it is convenient. Don't go here, you'll be disappointed. read more

Walked in , singed in and waited 20 minutes and not even a "hello" or "we'll be right with you". Once I was called, still no hello.... This annoyed me I was seen by a guy named T K( not sure how it's spelled), I tried to make conversation but in the beginning he didn't seem interested, 15 minutes before I was done he finally started talking to me (kind of awkward lol) He did a good job on my nails to my surprise, but the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. Not a single customer in there was talking or smiling, the staff was speaking only Vietnamese. I was sitting right at the register so when a customer questioned why her bill was so high the worker started getting loud in tone and then immediately started yelling across the salon in her language which caused every person inside to look. I don't think I'll go back, this is the only time I get mommy alone time and going somewhere that feels that uncomfortable isn't what I'm looking for. PS cleaning every now and then wouldn't hurt either, was pretty nasty in there. read more

Appointment not required which is a plus in my book. I got a spa pedicure $26 + $5 callus removal. My nail tech was Ivy she did a decent job. My only complaint would be she could have scrubbed and scrapped my heels a lot better they're still rough. I would go back again. read more

As I am sitting here getting my nails done in a very rushed day, I simply asked that one of the other three girls sitting on their phones obviously not caring if they had clients or not to do my nails at the same time. After grumbling several times when he asked her to do it, she finally yelled at me and said "He almos done I do you ova dere". NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I won't come here again that's for sure and i will be sure to let all of my friends know of their lack of good service. On a positive note the guys that did my pedicure was good. I just returned after going to my car the Polish DID not dry so I told him there was something wrong with it. He insisted it was ok and fixed the nails and put me under the dryer. After 15 more minutes of waiting I tested them and they all smudged off. Now.i have to have them redone. It is 12:34 and I have been here since 12 and only now they are repainting. read more

I came in for a pedicure and got the most wonderful treatment from Lisa. She engages in conversation and takes her time to beautify your toes. She even massages your legs. My toes were a complete mess. All torn from picking and I still had my old polish on. but now they are shiny and silky looking, it's great. I also got a lip wax from Lisa, it literally took like 2 minutes. I definitely recommend Lisa for great customer service! :) read more

Le's Nail Studio - Forgive my odd looking toes, just focus on the pedicure haha #peachy - Nail Salons Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

My friend and I found this place while we were shopping at the mall. I was a bit hesitant coming in to this nail salon due to low rating on yelp. My friend persuaded me to give it a try and it was beyond my expectation. Kim, who was my nail technician, did a fabulous job. I asked her to do acrylic nails and wax my eye brow. She did a really GOOD JOB with the design I wanted and was super nice. I will definitely come back before I go back home. Definitely worth more than 2 stars on Yelp. read more

Seriously if I could've given a zero star rating - I would have. Worst service ever. This is the first time I've gone there, and talk about inept! Nail technician could not even get my nails the same length or shape. When I asked him nicely if he could fix the shape and length, he got upset and threw the nail file at me and said " you do it yourself" Needless to say I walked out of there and got my nails finished at Kailua nailcare (the salon I normally go to and they do an excellent job always!) I would have to believe that if you're going to pay someone $50 to do your nails - it would be done neatly and correctly! Never ever recommend this place! It's a total joke! Check Out the photo of their jacked up work! read more

Le's Nail Studio - Nail Salons Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

They charge for EVERY LITTLE THING. I got my nails filled and it said $28 for a GELL FILL but I ended up paying $28 for a GEL FILL and another $15 for GEL NAIL POLISH? Doesn't make sense to me and seems like they were ripping me off. Another time, I brought my mom to do her nails and the man TOLD us that she was getting a fade and charged me for it when that's not even what she wanted. Didn't ask, didn't even let her pick her color yet but told her she was going to have it faded. They are usually very friendly but, they charge so much but they don't do a very good job most times. Probably the LAST time I will ever go here. read more

Friend: Let's go get pedicures! Me: Where do you want to go? I don't have a favorite place anymore. Friend: let's go to the one in the mall! Me: sure. Friend: Here, call them and make us some appointments. Me: (calling) hi, can I make 2 appointments for pedicures? LNS lady: no appointment, you come. Me: No appointment? um, ok. (hangs up) Friend: WHAT?! Since when do they stop taking appointments?? Me: let's just go. Located in Windward Mall on the second floor closest to Macy's. Parking is mall parking so it is free. As they prepared my foot bath, I went to pick out a color. I got to my chair, I noticed my water had floating old nail polish and the water was cold. I told them and they redid my water, but the water was still cold. I set my massage timer to 30 minutes. My pedicure experience was short lived. She was done before my timer ended. She skipped out on the lotion massage. This pedicure was $25 (plus tax and tip). Over all, it was ok, but I've experienced better. read more

This place is by far the worst nail salon I have ever been to. It's horrible. I've been here multiple times because it's where my friend like to go. It is pretty cheap, just like the quality of the service. Do not ask me to pay for my nails when you are half way done with them. They don't make everything nice and even and polish always has bubbles underneath. It's not clean at all. Do not go here Stay away from here. The service is rude and they shouldn't even have a license. read more

By far my fave place to get my nails did in Kaneohe. Mom and I like to start our girly days here and then grab a lunch at Gazebo in Macys. Lily is our go to gal...so if she's available ASK FOR HER! They do good work, are super sweet and aren't too pushy with extra nail art. They even have little teddy bear chairs for your little diva in the making. Stop by, push those cuticles back and get your french tips on! read more

Manicure 15 Spa pedi 25 French 10 eyebrow wax 12 full work wax (eyebows, upperlip. chin) 25 this place isn't as good as the mainland's nail salons. If you want a spa pedicure where the employees actually spend a good time massaging your feet and legs, its best to go when no one isn't really there. They actually take their time and do a good job. I usually get the guy to do my feet. I forgot him name but he always does a good on massaging. I also got my eyebrows waxed here for the first time and the lady did such a good job. She was very gentle and did it fast. My eyes usually gets really watery and the wax is usually hot but this place did it just right. read more

Got a pedicure and a fill on a quiet Saturday morning no problems nail tech was polite and my nails were nice. 2 days later 1 nail felt like it was loose and 5 days later came off completely. I called the salon asked them if they would fix it they say sure come in. It is a 20 min drive so I get there and a different lady says I work independently so I will only look at your missing nail you gotta come back tomorrow and find whoever did them on Saturday and have her fix the others Um....come again????? You guys are 1 business a team you are okay to just turn customers away and say I won't help you cause I didn't do it the first place. I will never give your business another dollar and if anyone asks or were to ever seek a recommendation it certainly not would be to come to your shop where every man is on their own and well, sorry, I don't want to help you is acceptable. plenty of other nail salons out there willing to fix a mistake to not make their whole shop look bad. Shame on you Le's Nail Studio. read more

Go and see Kim she dose such a great job, and i am always happy with her work!

Haven't been here for a very long time. Only went in for pedicure. Lucky thing that I walked in when I did because they were trying to get ahold of my husband since it was me, my MIL, and my 6 year old daughter wanted to get our nails done at the same time and call us when ready. Long story short, bit of a mix up, my husband spoke up, and the nail techs accommodated especially to my MIL who just had knee surgery 2 weeks ago and is in a wheel chair. But the lady who did my feet was good, rushed, but good. read more

Le's Nail Studio - Pink toes with white flower design. Happy feet and a happy mama. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Great service! My sister and I did a walk in and immediately got seated. We had our keikis so I was a bit curious about how they'd react. But they had a kids chair for my son to sit next to me while I was getting a pedi. And they had a mini DVD player to keep my son busy. My daughter just made one and she was a bit grouchy. The lady that was doing my pedi was patient with me, being that I had to keep my daughter entertained but instead she talked and entertained my daughter the entire time. She did an awesome job! She took her time and didn't rush like the other nail salons I've been to. Her massage was fantastic! I was able to relax even with my daughter on my lap. My daughter was curious about the water spa so the lady made the water high enough to where my daughter could sit on my lap and have her feet in the water as well. Will def be back again! read more

Clean environment, nice staff. The staff did speak in a different language amongst each other, inspite of the sign that requires them not to. I got the spa pedi . . . $30 under 30 minutes and my "massage" was done at the same time as the exfoliation. Nice color, though.. read more

Their wax gave me a rash on my face!!! Went to get my eyebrows waxed and Now I need to see a dermatologist!
