Visiting for California and needed a to freshen my hand and feet. A small but cozy shop with a lot of pedicure stations. They did an amazing job for my girlfriend and I. 100% would recommend! read more

I have to give a star. Although their customer service is excellent, the quality of actual technique of the nail technician isn't great. I had gel Mani and pedi. Within a day, my left thumb was half way peeled which they fixed, however, my left ring finger is now half way peeled off, left middle finger is also chipped. My right thumb is also peeled. I got them done last Wednesday and today is Tuesday. They didn't last a week. I'm traveling to CA tomorrow for a big event and that was the reason why I went there. Now I have to attend the event with peeled nails... I don't have time to get them fixed. I am just very disappointed with them. The first couple times I was very happy but this time, I wish I took the business elsewhere. It is ridiculous that my $125 only lasted for a few days. read more

I always patronize this place for my pedi. The people are friendly, the services are great & prices are reasonable. Mostly, the instruments are sterilized after each use. It is relaxing with soft music & massage chair. It does not smell like most nail places. You have the option of having a male or female worker. read more

Had a full mani pedi and eyebrows done and the total came out to almost $200 which was very surprising. All the staff was super nice and did a great job on my pedi and eyebrows. I wasn't too happy with my mani, but overall they did good! The salon was very comfortable too! read more

I called in the morning and made an appointment for noon so I could go during my lunch break. I picked the pedicure just above the "Classic" which was about $47. The gentleman that did my pedicure was good. I felt that he did a very good job cleaning up the nail beds. The paint looks excellent and I liked that he painted all the way up to the cuticle. I would come back. read more

Staff was very friendly, but the work was poor quality. The technician rushed through painting my nails and didn't bother to clean up the edges. Corners were missing paint and it was pooling around the cuticles on almost every nail. I had to ask the technician to clean it up but it still is not worth the money I paid. read more

I called and asked for a technician who I used to go to but apparently is no longer there. However, there is another woman with the same name who has been there for almost 2 months. When I got there, I mentioned that she was not the technician I used to see ... but thought I'd give her a try. My pedicure had to be redone because at the very end when she asked if everything was ok, my nails were not cut evenly and one even pointy in the middle. I asked to that that one nail fixed. She immediately removed the polish from all my toes and redid the cutting/filing. The technician said the polish was too thick so she wanted to do it over with another bottle. I really like the pale pink color I chose and asked if there was another on the shelf. She found a bottle but it was much darker and she responded it's ok, they just diluted the previous one because it's old. Uh....no. This is Barbie pink, not pale/closer to white that I initially chose. The polish application is sloppy and sad to say she tried, but it looks unprofessional. After 90+ minutes there I had to leave. I gave 2 stars only because the massage and cuticles were ok. read more

I love Kaimuki!! I've been coming here for at least a few years. Boss babe Ann, always welcomes me with a big cheery smile " Hi Renee" . I don't know why I never wrote a review. I COVID procedures in place, temperature checks, sanitize etc., barrier shields. The salon is always clean, you'll see staff sweeping, cleaning. I'm a little OCD because it's so important, before pandemic and especially now. Prices are reasonable, and my amazing nail artist Vivian is the best!! She is very detail oriented, going back trimming cuticles to give me the perfect mani or pedi. She helped me with a nail infection (not from here) I was dealing with because I work in Healthcare wear gloves and wash my hands a gazillion times a day. It's sad to see business has slowed, but for me I need my cuticles professionally trimmed. I usual do a regular mani decided to do gels for the holidays, I love Christmas! Support local, see Vivian, Ann or anyone of the other nail artists, great customer service by all. Guys too, go get a mani/pedi you'll love it!! read more

I'm so sad. Worst full set of acrylic nails Ive ever gotten. Nails are all different shapes (2 coffin even though I asked for square), surfaces are lumpy and the gel polish is still sticky the next day. Tools did not appeared to be sanitized at the station I was at (station next to mine tool tools out of sealed autoclaved pouch) and licenses were not visible at the stations. I wanted to walk out, but I didn't want to cause a scene and be rude. I tried to give a different local shop some business, but I will never go there again. :-( now I'll have to pay to get them fixed at my normal shop and do the walk of shame like I cheated! read more

Just came for pedicures, and the technician did such a good job. She was thorough and took her time. My husband and I got the deluxe pedicure and we were both very happy with it. It was worth the money spent and we will be back. read more

At the last minute, I decided to get a pedicure on a late Sunday afternoon. There weren't many options available because most nail salons close early or don't even open on Sunday. So I made a list based on positive Yelp reviews and Sunday hours. Nails La Vie was first on the list because of it good reviews, hours, and easy location with parking. Whoever answered the phone had the most pleasant friendly voice. She seemed happy to take my call and said yes appointments are available today at the time I wanted. She was so nice over the phone that I felt the experience was off to a great start right from the beginning. When I arrived, there was lots of parking right in front of the salon. Sometimes the lot is very crowded during dinner hours because Domo Sushi and Assagios are busy. But this was 3pm so parking was great! As soon as I walked in the salon, I was greeted by everyone in there. They were all friendly and welcoming. Hellen motioned for me to pick my polish color and then come to her chair. She was very nice and friendly. She showed me the options for pedicures and suggested one with massage. I was a little hesitant but decided to just go for it and indulge. SO HAPPY I DID! This was the best pedicure and foot massage I've ever had. Very professional and precise. My toes look amazing and my feet feel so relaxed. Hellen also offered to do a quick manicure and hand/arm massage after the pedicure. I instantly agreed. Now my hands look good too! Loved the experience! Very clean salon with lots of nice fresh air ventilation. The prices are reasonable too. Friendly staff and great service! Highly recommend! Hellen is fantastic! read more

Called in prior to ask how much they charge to remove gel manicure and I was told $10. I go in and have my gel manicure removed and the technician asked if I want to cut my nails shorter, to which I said yes. At the cashier, my total came out to $15.75 so I ask why and they told me it's because I got my nails shortened. I've never had a nail salon charge me $5.75 extra to cut my nails short - if I knew this, I would've cut them myself! It's pretty ridiculous and petty. It's safe to say I will never return to this place. Price should be disclosed prior to any service (plus the technician did a less than mediocre job). Disappointed! read more

Nail la vie is in a convenient location with ample parking. They accept walk-in's but it's best to call ahead to make sure they have a nail technician available. I always book with Cindy, because she has always given me spectacular service. Cindy is courteous of your time, prioritizes your comfort, and delivers results. She is a perfectionist, which I love. It's such a treat to visit Nail La Vie, and you should experience it too! read more

I live in the west side and I was looking for a nail salon. While I was in town, I've been through a lot of salon in town and Kalihi there's not even one can do my pedicure. Since I was heading to Kahal I look up yelp for nail salon and found this place and wanted check it out and hoping for the 4th nails salon in one day and so I call to see if they take walk in. The employees there was super nice and finally told told me YES it's okay. Their not busy. I was so happy. Even my husband decided to join me to do pedicures. We left the place Happy and satisfied with the service and they did a pretty good job. I would come back again even though I live Makakilo, I would share with my friends and family. Thank you again for the welcome and good service. read more

Salon is clean and was filled with older women inside, so I though it was going to be a good salon. I went for a pedicure, which she was doing a good job. English is a second language for all the girls who work here. In the middle of my Pedi, The nail girl offered me a "manicure for a special price today." but when she cut my French-manicure-length nails too short (no whites of my nails were left!!!!). and cut them crooked also, I freaked out! It was so short she couldn't even paint them!! I was crying because I have a special event in a few hours! To add insult to injury, she then had the nerve to charge me full price! All she said was "sorry," but took no responsibility. When I mentioned she cut my nails too short for French and didn't even paint my nails, she didn't even offer me a discount! As a Business owner who sat as by the integrity of my service and products, this is appalling. HORRIBLE BUSINESS! read more

I went to Nails La Vie two more times for gel manicures and found that they aren't great when it comes to designs. I wanted some gold leaf but unfortunately the nail artist told me they didn't have that. Another time I wanted some flowers, granted the design was a bit complex, but I wish the artist had told me she couldn't do it because the end result was far from the picture referenced. I did have one rude encounter with a nail artist but it did not affect my rating. read more

Very clean and relaxing ambiance. They use gelish colors and regular nail polish. They can do simple nail art. But look what Kathy did a Brilliant Xmas tree! I love it. They now also do SNS nail process. Well Vivianis the only person for now that does SNS. There's limited colors on SNS as Vivian ordered them specially for me. What service!!! SNS is better for your nails as ultra violet lights are not used in the drying process. If you want to try SNS ask for Vivian. Thank you Vivian read more

Ask for Cathy - she's very sweet, patient, and takes her time to do quality work. Ive been coming here for almost a year now and she is my favorite. I go for the gel polish and last time brought my own color in. I also opt for the signature pedicure which includes the wax for my feet and extra attention for the calluses. I usually spend around $80 dollar for both the mani and pedi and tips are cash only. My manicure usually lasts a solid 2-3 weeks and my pedicure can easily go over a month. Nice clean salon and no harsh chemical sounds. Definitely a nice place to go for a little pampering. read more

Was excited to finally have a pedicure after covid, made an appointment for 1 on a Sunday. They were busy, but put me in a chair, said to get a massage, massage did not work. There was no can you please wait, no explanation for my wait time (15mins). I had other things to do so I left. As a suggestion you need to communicate with the customer if the appointed time is delayed. Only as I'm leaving do they say the owner is on the way (how much longer would that take). Will have to reschedule with a different salon or just go to one as a walk in. A big disappointment to say the least. read more

He nicked me more than once, burnt me with the drill bit, yanked my arms and when I tried to correct him and tell him what I want, I got "yeah I know". Absolutely terrible job. Never coming to this place again. And to top it off, it wasn't very sanitary. I needed my nails done and they were open. If you want good quality sanitary acrylics or anything nail related head on over to Gradient Nail in Honolulu near Walmart and Ross. Now I have to deal with shitty done nails. Great for my interview on Tuesday. Thanks a lot for the crappy job! read more

I called this nail salon at the last minute for a pedicure. I asked if there was a wait and she said if I come now I could go right in. I was right around the corner, so I went in and they sat me within a few minutes. The only bummer was that there was no seating area for my husband to sit so he went to wait in the car. I just got the basic pedicure and she did a good job. She was gentle when cleaning/cutting my nails and cuticle area. I love that peppermint scrub they use. Overall good read more

This is a great place to get some pampering with manis and pedis. You are immediately greeted with friendly faces, eager to assist you and get you settled into a cozy, overstuffed massage chair. These massage chairs work wonders on the knots and kinks in your back! Love these chairs! While they accept cash or credit, make sure you bring cash for tips. Great place to bring your girlfriends and get pampered! read more
