My nails after my appt
Mindi G.

If you have artificial nails and want elaborate nail art, then this might be a great salon for you. My experience getting a Signature Manicure for my natural nails was more mixed. I found the website for Nailpedia to be clear and user friendly. Through the website, I booked an appointment for a Signature Manicure with Summer, the business's owner. It turned out that having the appointment for a specific time and with a specific tech meant nothing. I had to wait around 15 minutes, same as the walk ins who came while I was there, and the first tech available did my nails. Having made my appointment for the Signature Manicure also seemed irrelevant. The woman doing my nails asked if I wanted a basic manicure. When I clarified I wanted the Signature, she did not proceed based on the business's description of that service. She seemed to try to clarify what I meant, asking if I wanted the scrub or wax? Parafin is not described as part of the Signature Manicure. It is a separate charge. Now I was confused! We managed to get on the same page. The woman doing my nails handed me two batches of samples for colors. When I was looking at them, she took one batch away. I asked if they were the same? I didn't quite catch her answer. I started to say I wanted something sheer. She quickly took the samples away from me and said, "We have sheer." My nails were cut and shaped and the tech did ask if they were how I wanted them. I was a little concerned because I did not see the tools used on my nails come out of a sealed packet or out of a sanitizer. I am going to trust that they were properly cleaned. A product in a squeeze bottle was also used in the process, but was unlabeled. I am used to a salon where sanitization procedures are unmistakeable and all products are clearly labeled. After shaping my nails, the tech did the scrub, which started out with an exfoliating texture, but when a lot of water was added it quickly became more of a lather. It felt like I was getting my hands and arms washed more than exfoliated. Fast forwarding to the color, the tech put it on without checking if it was what I had in mind. It wasn't. I wanted a light, sheer pink. What I got was more the color of my skin. The tech did a good job on my nails, but the overall experience was not what I was expecting. The website and scheduling system made it seem like I could begin to establish a relationship with a particular tech who would get to know me and my nails. The reality was that it felt like any other nail salon where you walk in without an appointment and get a quick manicure or pedicure. Again, it might be a different experience if you are getting a more specialized service.

Kai was my nail tech and he did a fantastic job! showed him a pic from Pinterest and he did well recreating it. Definitely recommend this spot if you are in the area and need a fill b4 your vacation really starts. Only thing is I wished they played some music cuz ngl it was v v quiet in the salon

Best nail spa on Maui! When I first moved here, I was bouncing around different nail places for the longest time trying to find a good one. After trying so many, I finally came to Nailpedia and now go there routinely for my manis and pedis. I've had just about everyone there for both services and they always get it right. The owner, Summer, is my favorite for manicure designs and even remembers the things I'm picky about without me needing to remind every visit. She has a real talent and eye for the smallest details. I also love that she checks in with you to make sure the shape/length is to your liking. The inside is also the cleanest I've been to on island. So many others around here are super run down and not taken care of.

Love it here! Summer does my nails and has never let me down. The salon is clean and I love the natural lighting. Perfect location in Kihei. If you need a nail salon this is YOUR NEW FAVORITE PLACE. Okurrrr

Cut my nails to the quick.

Made a 2 pm appointment, upon arriving someone flashed an appointment book but never looked at it. I didn't get invited to a pedi chair until 2:27. Kai did a nice job with my pedicure but then Hana cut my nails so short they actually hurt when I asked for a manicure on my natural nails. Everyone who is a walk in is told 15-20 min wait, but even if you have an appointment you're still going to wait because they're not turning anyone away.

Gel builder manicure by Kai :)

Love this place, today Summer and Michelle gave me the best mani pedi! I always get great service here but it gets better and better every time. Every time I get gel pedi and gelX extensions and they do it erfect. It's never too bulky or crooked or anything. This place is the best!

Builder gel nails by Kai
Elise R.

My soft gel manicure and regular gel pedicure both went haywire while on vacation in Maui and I wound up having an excellent experience getting them fixed by Kai. He did an excellent pedicure service with a beautiful rainbow chrome design. Kai also did an expert job on my nails giving me a lovely, well shaped soft gel fill. Kai seems to be a master with the builder gel and I highly recommend you get your nails done by him. The services cost double what I pay in Los Angeles but that's basically Maui. The salon is pleasant and new. The spa chairs are new and better than any I've experienced. I don't think you can go wrong coming to this nail salon.

Booking is a challenge right now because Julie is in transition between setting up the new…read morelocation. I was glad I insisted on booking her, and that she reached out through Yelp. Julie does so many things - hands, nails, lashes, so many different types of massages, etc. If I lived in Maui, she would easily be my one-stop shop for everything. Massage - Hands down, probably the best massage I've ever had. She targeted my shoulder and neck area because they were my most knot-filled areas and it was amazing. Her massage and pressure points felt like they had purpose instead of me being randomly punched. I had to force myself to keep my eyes open so I wouldn't fall asleep and not be awake to enjoy the benefits. She also gave really great advice and educated me about certain pressure points to take with me to future massages. Lashes - Refills looked even better than what I remembered having. Overall - I feel like Julie got the short end of the stick. The $170 price for the best 90-minute massage and lash refill for the quality I received in return was phenomenal and I can't wait to go back to her for all of my beauty needs when I'm in Maui. Thank you, Julie!

I even messed up my toe and she was nice enough to fix it up. Manicure was exactly what I wanted, and had the matching pedicure that I enjoyed. Massage was amazing! Never had one before, so it was a great experience. Highly recommend going to Julie over the overpriced tourist trap spas in Maui. Support local! You won't regret it. Found Julie thru Yelp, make sure to text/call her first before heading out if you are from out of town! The location is different than what Yelp says. (:

In October 2016 I had permanent upper and lower eyeliner done by Emmi…read more She advised me it would fade over time and from all the research I did prior to having the procedure done, I was able to confirm and verify that. However, almost five years later, it's darker, has smudged, migrated and is thicker on one eye. On May 3rd 2020, I contacted Emmi to express my concerns. She never responded. I have been using soft pink and flesh colored eyeliner makeup to cover it. After many consultations and research, I decided on laser removal. This was an incredibly painful procedure and left me swollen with black eyes and my eyelashes turned white and fell out. I'll know more in a few weeks whether I need another round of laser or if I can live with the residual. Two MD's who specialize in in cosmetic and laser procedures informed me most likely ink was used instead of pigment, which fades. Emmi is a very nice person with a gorgeous salon. I originally (2016) posted a rave review on Yelp because I loved my new eyeliner. I've since removed that review after realizing that after 4+ years, my eyeliner is not fading and isn't going to. I never would have done this if I knew it was literally "permanent" and does NOT fade.

I had a great experience while visiting Maui. I happened to lose my eye lash extensions while…read moreswimming in the ocean and out on some boating excursions. I booked an appointment here and got in the very next day. I got a full set of eye lash extensions, it took about 2 hours and cost about $120 give or take. She did such a great job. It's been 11 days since my appointment and I have only lost a few lashes! I'm so impressed. The salon was also very relaxing and decorated so beautifully. Highly recommend!!!
