Full set gel with design .. reasonably priced and an extremely quality work
Erin M.

I walked in hoping they might be able to create a very specific design I had in mind, and I was honestly blown away. They had everything needed to bring the look to life and the level of artistry was incredible. The attention to detail and creativity made the set feel truly unique and exquisite. I'm so impressed that they were able to do this for me essentially as a walk-in. Exceptional talent and service ...highly recommend. and the ambience was exceptional

Gel-x with single color (10 days after) love them
Christina K.

I was in town for a wedding, and hadn't been able to see my usual gel-x nail specialist back at home before my flight and my nails were in a dire state. I chose Moana Nails, among the many other more established nail salons in the area, because it was close to our hotel in Waikiki, their pricing was reasonable, I was impressed by photos of their work, they accepted walk-ins, and idk, I just went with my gut!! Haha and I am so so happy I did, because my experience here was fantastic. I mean...the results speak for themselves. And, mind you, these photos are 10 days after I got them (gel-x) done, and they still look gooOOod. Shoutout to my girl from Mississippi

Clean, great staff, and unbelievable talent with every design we've tried so far and every shape too.

Staff were really nice and place is super clean. The lady did my pedicure well for the most part. Prices are higher than back home but that's expected for Hawaii. I would come back when I'm in town

Photos don't do my nails justice, they are STUNNING Gel x with cat eye polish and builder gel with pearls to make my seashell nails!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this nail salon and I can't say enough good things about my nail tech, Rose. She was incredibly sweet, patient and very accommodating throughout the entire appointment. From start to finish, she made sure I was comfortable and happy with every step of the process. I came in for a Gel X manicure, and Rose completely blew me away. She took her time shaping each nail with precision and care, and the attention to detail she showed was truly impressive. The end result was flawless. The salon itself is also so clean and pretty!! I've been to many of the nail salons in the area and this was by far the absolute BEST experience I've had!! I'll definitely be returning and recommending her to everyone I know

Gradient Nail never leaves me disappointed. As a returning customer for years I am always pleased…read morewith the services and availability!! Called in a last minute mani pedi and they said we got u. Their new location is just gorgeous with a relaxing atmosphere, not to mention their new selection of beverages to enjoy while getting your nails done! I got the royal coffee and it's actually one of the best coffees I've had if it wasn't so strong I'd order 10 of them. They provide free water and I also got a green tea. 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. It's safe to say every penny is well spent here!!!!

I'm absolutely in love with my nails! Lily (one of the owners) truly exceeded my expectations,…read moreevery-time. Been going here for years now and every time I have an appointment I always look forward to it and very excited. From the moment I sat down, she was so warm, professional, and detail-oriented. 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!

Minhee did a great job on my gel pedi and classic mani. She got my ingrowns out without hurting me and listened to everything I needed her to do.

For the past six years, Lily's has been my go-to. While I can't speak for all staff members, I do…read morerecommend, Jean, is my all time favorite. Her attention to detail and ability to copy photo references, along with her suggestions, makes her the only person I wanna see. 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.

Ever since moving to Honolulu, I had struggled to find a reliable nail salon. I have a pincer nail…read moreon my left big toe (caused by wearing the wrong hiking shoes on a strenuous, 18-mile hike that I did in 2018). 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.

The folks that own and run this operation are so chill and professional. Everything is sparkling…read moreclean and organized. I love coming to this place to have my fingers and toes done because, if I have to be honest, I always thought having manicures to be too lah dee dah, but not here at The Beauty Bar.
