    What a great small nail shop in the Manoa Marketplace. Lisa and Debbie gave my daughter and I great manicure pedicures. The shop was clean, un crowded and attendants were gentle but thorough. They had 4 attendants and everyone was busy...must have a great reservation system. Must have cash to tip but they accept credit cards for the fee. Love my french manicure!

    Very thick nails this time. I think it's safe to say my nails r damaged. Prompt service.

    First time I went I liked. Second tiime had very thick nails which have been driving me crazy :/ also the gel lifted and my nails r damaged looks insane

    I couldn't wait to get a nail appt with my usual place so I decided to go here bc they had lots of openings. Service was okay. They weren't very welcoming and just stared at me until I told them I had an appt at 1p. As for my nails, I wanted French tip but with a pastel blue. I'm brown in skin color and I told the lady I don't want too pink of an undertone (bc I'm brown) but she proceeded to do as pink as it gets. She told me that's the only way, which obviously is a lie bc I've had French top done before to which they go for more neutral tones for the nail color. As for the actual French tip she made the top so thick I had to ask her to reference a photo and to make it thinner and more curve since the base of the tip was straight rather than rounded. She corrected and it was much better. Overall, I'm not sure if she was trying her best or not but I was highly dissatisfied with my nails. I walked out looking like I had pink and blue cotton candy nails. Besides telling me to "pick your color" at the beginning, the nail lady didn't speak a word to me after. Not even at check out. This was my first and last time coming here.

    2 weeks later, still looks new!

    I was a Maid of Honor and needed to find a nail salon that could take 5 manicures at the same time. I called Manoa Nails in advance and they were so accommodating. We booked 5 gel manicures on a Friday at 4pm. I love my nails and the bride kept talking about how much she loved hers too! I only have photos of mine, but it's been two weeks and they still look amazing. Thank you, Manoa Nails for making this such a great experience!

    I have never done a yelp review before but I have just left Manoa Nails and hadn't brought enough money with me to tip the women who had helped me properly. Incredibly professional and very close attention to detail. I wish I was able to compensate them further for their hard work so I wanted to do what I can. Pedicure was wonderful as well but I don't want to post a photo of my toes lol. Thank you Manoa Nails! I am looking forward to my return!

    My gorgeous gel manicure! Thank you Manoa Nails!

    I had such a wonderful experience at Manoa Nails! I usually don't get my nails done and I'm a biter. From previous negative experiences on the mainland, I feared my nail technician would scold me for my short nails, but to my delight, she was so friendly and helpful! I made a reservation for a mani/pedi. I was asked to pick out colors. My technician (I think her name was Anne or Anna) was so sweet. She asked me to pick a different color she thought was better quality and that would match better with my skin. She was right! She also asked if I wanted gel because it would last up to 3 weeks. (She asked this AFTER she already prepped my nails for a regular manicure, thereby essentially making more work for herself, but she didn't mind!) I agreed to the gel and we picked out a color together. I loved her choice. It compliments my skin so well. She did a fabulous job of trimming my cuticles and nails. They are so clean and perfect! I especially love the gel because my nails are shiny and dried so quickly. She then gave me a really nice pedicure too. I opted for regular polish of a darker maroon hue. I loved the relaxing massage chair. She did yet again a great job, making me feel comfortable in a place I usually don't frequent. They honored a gift certificate I was given, and I only had to pay $10 extra for the gel manicure. I am grateful for the beautiful manicure and nice service! Mahalo!

    The color I wanted was out However Josie knows her colors and found me the color that was almost exact ! Love it !

    All safety precautions are taken for all patrons. Diana and her team are great as usual ! They do have barriers set up between the customer and the technician (s) if you're doing nails since the tables are a lot smaller vs the chairs for pedicures. However they do also have barricade between the chairs but if you go with friends you can still converse. Oh also upon entry they ask for your info and do temperature checks too. Can't wait to see this place eventually back at full capacity !

    Call in advance to book an appointment

    Can we make reservation for two people on Wednesday at 9am? Mani pedi?

    Do any of your nail technicians work with polygel?

    Hi Lacina, I’m sorry but we don’t work with polygel in our salon.

    Is dip powder available and what is the starting price?

    Hello Marissa, Sorry we do not offer dip powder here at our salon. Just regular gelish.

Aside from that they have such incredibly skilled nail artists, I always make sure to get Alex for all my French mani needs! He has his technique down to a tea with precision and machine-like accuracy. My love for this shop just increases more over time and I am so glad to watch them expand from what they had before.

She took her time to understand exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. The shape is perfect, the ombré blend is so smooth and clean, and the finish is super glossy and elegant. I've gotten so many compliments already! You can really tell she takes pride in her work -- nothing felt rushed, and every detail was carefully done. Not only is her work beautiful, but their new location was super spacious, clean, hygienic, and comfortable, which is so important to me. She's incredibly talented and consistent! If you're looking for a nail tech who delivers high-quality, stunning results every single time -- she's the one. Or any one at this salon I Highly, highly recommend!

She knows how to do various nail art techniques, including intricate designs, rhinestone applications, and even has specialized gel polishes like glow-in-the-dark, chrome, and cat-eye effects. The salon offers a cozy ambiance, complete with a selection of beverages and snacks for clients. The pedicure sessions are particularly my favorite with massage chairs and options like the spa pedicure, which includes an extended leg massage. Though my all time favorite, if you're willing to splurge a bit is upgrading to the sugar scrub pedicure, it'll make you wish you had one sooner in life. Lily's also had a rewards system for loyal customers so make sure to take advantage if you come back. Beyond nail care, I've also utilized their eyebrow threading services with excellent results. Additionally, the salon retails Olaplex products, offering clients access to premium hair care solutions which I love. Because I don't know many places that sell Olaplex so this is an extra treat for my hair. The inclusive environment at Lily's welcomes everyone, including men seeking nail services and well-behaved small dogs. Given its convenient location across from the Ala Moana Center, the salon is easily accessible. However, parking is limited, accommodating approximately 5-7 cars, so planning ahead is advisable. But when in doubt there's always parking across the street at the mall. Make sure to book at least a week or two in advance as they do get busy especially during holidays. If you're in search of top-tier nail care in a welcoming setting, Lily's is the place to be.

The mutated nail is managed by monthly pedicure appointments, meaning highly experienced nail techs. The Beauty Bar was the 3rd nail salon I tried out and I haven't had to go anywhere else. I've been coming for the last 3 months and continue to be very happy with the service and results. Not only is my pincer nail always treated and trimmed carefully and expertly, the pedicures are well done and last for over 4 weeks (just using regular polish, not gel). I haven't tried the Japanese gel manicure yet, but I'm waiting for a special occasion to make the splurge. There's only a couple of downsides: 1) the prices are very high and 2) the massages are too soft. For example, I've paid $4 or $5 for callous removal at other salons, but they charge $10 here. Otherwise, I have no other complaints. I love the ease of the online booking system. The salon is clean and has a very chill vibe.
