    Welcome to Hawaii Kai! This second location is a welcome addition to Hawaii Kai Town Center as I've been to the town location before and they are always so busy even with an appointment. Looking in this location still had several ladies getting their pedicure which what I always do to take care of my neglected feet (which the technician suggested as it's really bad) but no one doing manicure so I decided to walk in and ask...no problem! Walking in it seems nice and clean though it looked a bit dated, the manicure tools was kept in like a wood stationary cup and as she dropped a nail file picked it up and put it back in, just some of the vibes here does make me cringe. I wanted a gel manicure she never asked what type (basic, spa or deluxe) and never inform me of any pricing but it was already late in the day and I'm happy that I could get it done. I did get the basic which I think is $20 and wanted gel with fade (which is additional $30 I think) and though they didn't have much color choices in gel I did find one that I wanted "Champagne Winter". My nails go through hell at work so I don't do it much often since I get a lot of breakage from that but with a upcoming even I decided they needed it. Though they seem to do all the enhancements and various designs she never asked if I wanted additional treatment or upgrades and didn't give the spa vibe that I get at some locations but with places that do take walk ins it does make that spontaneous decision a sparkly one and I appreciate it. Thank you!

    Basic French pedicure GONE WRONG

    terrible. I've given this place a chance over and over again as it's right by my house and they always have flexible availability so it seems to work out.... the last few times I've gotten my regular classic gel manicure there, half the nails are spoiled in just a few days - and or most definitely by the next week! I know from experience elsewhere that my gel manicures I like to get last up to a month staying flawless, but not here. and then, this is the worst of it...2 days ago, I go in to receieve 10% off for my birthday pedicure as just the week prior I got my gel manicure ( that's already TRASHED AND PEELING ) and I received a text saying I can get my 10% off as it's my birthday week... I ask for my basic French tip pedicure as I always do at any old salon, They let me walk out like this!! ( I asked for them to make the big toes tip thinner and by the end of them "making it thinner" and allowing them to dry completely, I realized at the end that this is what the finished results were.. they even looked intently at it and said I'm pau and good to go. Also did not receive the 10% off for my birthday like they offered in promo texts on top of it all. I didn't even want to go back here to ask them to fix it just cause I've completely lost all trust and respect for them. Also a couple months ago, got a gel manicure, paid in cash and needed a lot of change back. The tech processing this cash transaction literally kept at least $20 of my change back without my consent of a tip, and I just walked out because I wasn't gonna deal with the language barrier and extra waste of energy cause the $20 was not worth it to me to hassle over and clearly she needed it more than me. I'm officially done with this salon but well wishes to them. It has felt like a hoax the last handful of times I've gone in, and it sucks to even leave such a poor review with a bad taste in my mouth about this salon but truth be told and it is what it is.

    Typically I wouldn't get a manicure on a Saturday but looking sharp for Easter Sunday is a must, surprisingly it wasn't as busy as a weekday, I took a chance and it worked out, the other men there must've thought the way I did also, sad part is I only needed a manicure so I didn't get a chance to get in those massage chair...I'm trying to let y''all know relaxing while getting talons done is worth waiting a few minutes until you're called back for service...this is on busy days 5 star treatment

    DO NOT COME HERE. In general I like to go to nail salons to get something done that I cannot do at home. I could have done this at home for $80 less. I will not be returning to this establishment. It was also unsanitary as she used cuticle clippers and then put cap back on and into the desk to be used at a future time with no sanitation Should have stuck to Hawaii kai nails and spa which always does a great job! Had Phi Phi as a tech and wanted a design done. She paid 0 attention to detail and the pics I showed her. She clearly was not comfortable with the designs I showed her and should have just told me upfront she was unable to do this and I could have waited for another technician. Pictures of what I requested below and what I got. Even my boyfriend could tell they were terrible which is how you know it was extra bad. She did not charge me the extra for the gel on the manicure as she knew I was not happy which I appreciated. The coats are very uneven though and upset that I paid for something I immediately removed. Note also: this crappy job for both toes and nails took 3 hours, it is something that should have taken 2 hours tops.

    Botched nails!! Deep cuts.

    Deep cuts. Botched nails!!!!! If I could report I would. I went in with long nails. Asked them to trim a little bit. The nail artist grabbed clippers and clipped all the way to my skin. She cut all my NATURAL nails. No nails left. Deep cuts. It HURTS!!! She grabbed my other hand and tried to match the other where she botched. Some nail cut to the middle!!! Horrible! Will never go, will not recommend. Hopefully their reviews are not paid. And hope this review will show up!

    Ombre, nail art

    I wanted a mockup of wedding nails for myself. Dexter said that he or his wife could only do what I wanted (art/decor). He looked at some of my inspiration photos. It was 2 hours long but worth it! Love how it came out! Mahalo Dexter!

    I found this place on yelp and decided to try it out based on all the good reviews, extremely glad I did! My family needed to get their nails done and I needed to fix just my pinky toe after stubbing it. They took care of us right away and it was nice that they weren't busy and pretty much had the shop to ourselves. Dexter is the owner and he is amazing at what he does! He's been in the business for about 30 years and flies all over to do nails for his clients which include Miss America and Miss Universe clientele! I had already had my nails done and Dexter decided he wanted to add a beautiful flower to one of my nails while waiting for the others to be done. Such a nice man! This is my go to spot in Honolulu now whenever I need my nails done. Thank you so much to Dexter and his team!

    Nails are ready for my Disney trip!! Thanks Dexter!!

    My mom and I came in today after grabbing coffee and decided to give this salon a try…read more Unfortunately, our experience was awful from start to finish. The staff was unfriendly, and the pricing felt extremely misleading. I specifically asked for the most basic gel pedicure for my toes and somehow ended up being charged $85 just for my toes alone. The menu also showed that the basics was about $50 so I am not sure how I got charged so much. What made matters worse was the actual service. The technician used a blade-like tool on the bottom of my feet that stripped the skin completely raw. Instead of smoothing my feet, she removed protective skin and left them painful and sensitive. My mom's experience was just as bad. The technician aggressively picked at her cuticles to the point that her fingers are now so sore she can't even wash dishes comfortably. She was then charged $40 for nothing more than a basic cleanup with no polish or extras. We both walked out in pain, feeling completely ripped off and disrespected. My mother is one of the sweetest people you could meet, and it's upsetting to see customers treated this way. We absolutely will not be returning, and I would strongly caution others before booking here.

For that level of meticulous I'm also expecting close to perfect but still have imperfections and a notable instrument slice in one of my thumbs polish. This has been my go to nail place living in Hawaii Kai and I was disappointed in their work and service tonight. Putting pictures of the good one and then tonight's.
