    Called at 1:00 on Saturday for my mom and I as an early Mother's Day present. They had availability right when I called so I said we would be there in 30 minutes. There is parking in the back you can either enter by Sherwin Williams or on Kahoaloha Ln. My mom got a mani pedi and I got a full set. Although there was a slight miscommunication at first I wanted the nails that was on the sample they had but it was not understood. But it wasn't an issue I loved my nails and how short they were. Usually nail techs don't like to make it short because they think it looks ugly when it's short. My mom loved her mani & pedi and said her legs felt soft after. My nails are still going strong after 6 weeks only my right pointer came off, everything else is going strong and barely any lifting!! Will definitely be back.

    Romping around barefoot, will make the soles of your feet cracked and callus. Every couple of years I will soak my feet in Salicylic Acid and 7 days latter my skin starts peeling and exfoliating. Then I'll go for a pedicure. I'm a manicure persons nightmare. Walked in today and asked them to make the soles of my feet feel like a baby's butt. Loved the service I receive today. * Soaked and scrubbed my feet MULTIPLE of times and removed most of the exfoliating skin. Most salons give up after two attempts and resort to more aggressive exfoliating techniques. Nani's will not do aggressive exfoliating techniques that causes pain and rawness to the skin. They will not do blading, which is illegal in Hawaii. * Most salons will try to do a upsell of paraffin hot wax, but she did not because she knew it was in effective with chemical peels like Salicylic Acid. * Gently removed three years of cuticles without being overly aggressive and left a clean edge. * Detailed oriented. This is the only salon that has ever filed the ridges of my toenails smooth. All the other nail salons only filed the tip of my nails. * Hygienic. Basin to soak feet is lined with a plastic liner and thrown away after each use. Tools are soaked in disinfectant after each use. The Drummondville file tip was thrown away after use. * Family owned and operated for 10 years- husband, wife and nephew. The three work together as a team. Wife was trained at a high-end nail salon and her technique reflects that. * Knowledgeable, honest and does not aggressively upsell. Another customer showed them a picture. The wife stated that there was two ways of achieving it. One was with sparkle nail polish, and there is no extra charge, or put the sparkles in the gel which would be five dollars more. I asked if I could add sparkles, so she added two more layers of nail polish without charging me and told me that the nail polish needed time to dry. So I spent 20 minutes relaxing in the massage chair. - Pedicure massage chairs are at an angle so it does not promote conversation/ socialization among customers. - I have had better foot, toes and leg massage but I did not purchase the spa or deluxe package. - Lots of repeat customers, so an appointment is highly recommended. * Free parking in the back of the building but no safe walkway to front of store. Metered street parking in front of store.

    We were doing our senior mani/pedi elsewhere in Honolulu until a change in ownership. Glad we found and checked out Nani Nails Salon. Jenny serviced me and she's excellent. She does nails like how I regularly get in San Francisco. Nice to find a new shop that we'll be coming back regularly. Jenny is personable, knowledgeable, careful and attentive to details. Check them out!

    Nani nails salon is such a gem! With free parking in the back of their location you can't go wrong. The owner is super good at what he does and his prices are fair. I always make sure to call ahead of time to see what the wait is or if they can squeeze me in. They normally can always accommodate. They also give 10% discount or something like that to University of Hawaii at Mānoa students if you have a student ID which is so nice. I wish I knew that when I was a student lol This has been my new nail spot since moving to this area. Mahalo for always hooking ya gorl up!

    Jelly gel manicure

    I love this salon! My tail tech absolutely perfected the shape I was wanting and gave me the best recommendations on color (I'm very indecisive). I normally leave most salons with mixed feelings but I couldn't be happier on how my nails turned out! 10/10

    Love this salon! Great staff and their work is very neat. Received lots of compliments on my nails done by them.

    Made an appointment with them for Birthday acrylics and I couldn't be more happy. I had an idea in mind, and my technician was more than accommodating. The edges of the nails were cleaned straight.

    Marble inspired, butterfly stickers, and this is my fill!

    This is my favorite nail salon! This is my 4th visit and everything is cleaned before your sat down and precautions are very well done, not once felt uncomfortable..they know how to use the tools properly and will not hurt at all this is something I always had issues with other salons but never Nani Nails. Also, the massage for a deluxe pedicure was unbelievably great! I'm so happy with the end outcome

    Hardened acrylic stuck to the underside of my nail.
    Tiffany A.

    It was my first time here, and it was almost as bad as you could possibly get. I went with my friend, who had Jenny as her nail tech. Her nails came out amazing and was completely satisfied. Half of a star is for Jenny for making my friend happy. On the other hand, I got stuck with a nervous male who didn't seem to know what he was doing for the life of him. I started my manicure (full acrylic set) at least a full 15 minutes before my friend started hers because she had to get nails taken off. He was extremely quiet, but I sat back and minded my own business. I started noticing that he had trouble glueing on the nails, and began to compensate by putting an amount of glue I've never seen before. He took any excess glue and smeared it on my filed down nail, but I gave it a pass. I requested a narrow coffin shape, to which Jenny replied that he would file down later. He became extremely meticulous with the shape of my nails, and took way longer than I had expected. Next, he started to use the acrylic powder to shape my nails. The amount that he used once again made me anxious, but I said nothing. I figured that Jenny (who was next to him) would correct him if he was wrong. As he finished each finger, he would leave the hardening liquid-powder formula on my skin, making it hard and dry in multiple areas. I found one ball and picked it off, but I had areas on at least three other fingers that I washed off later. He started filing down my nails again, and I could tell he was getting nervous. He began to file faster and more recklessly, cutting my left thumb and creating tender spots on others. By the time he was finished with just the base of my acrylic set, it had been two hours and my friend next to me had been done for a hot minute. Jenny then called her husband over to finish the job (probably) due to seeing the looks on my face after two hours. He then, in a friendly yet rushed manner, finished an ombre design that I had requested. As he was polishing my top coat, he stopped for a second with my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. I felt something was wrong, but he said nothing, so I thought it was a fluke. At this point, I was extremely tired (I had been out since before 6 am) and just wanted to leave. I paid and rushed out, thankful for being able to leave at all. The other half star is for his service. After further inspection upon leaving, I noticed that the color had bare spots, was not as gradient as I had hoped, and varies from nail to nail. Hardened acrylic was stuck to the underside of my nail, as well as the sides where it clings to my skin. If I run my finger down the sides of my nails, two of them are jagged to a point. My left pinky and ring finger are uneven. White nail polish and hardened acrylic were left on my skin, and I got no hand massage or lotion like my friend did. My nails hurt for the first time in YEARS. After all the time spent in the salon, I got no compensation despite the obvious look of distaste on my face. I'll be calling in the morning to get my money back or schedule a fix, but that's my last handout. After I get things sorted, I'm never returning. UPDATE (11/21): I called right after work and Jenny saw me immediately. She explained that her brother (the first guy) wasn't comfortable doing acrylics yet. She then asked her husband to finish the job, who obviously didn't. She fixed everything for FREE, and was showing other nail techs how to properly shape acrylics and fade gel polish. She even added some glitter! It looks AMAZING now. Jenny really cares about her business, loves her job, and cares for her customers. She's really busy, but ask for Jenny!

    I'd been curious about getting my eyebrows done for a long time but was hesitant because I use…read moretretinoin and had seen so many regret/removal videos. A friend of mine had hers done a few years ago and said it was one of the best things she's ever done, which finally convinced me to go for it. I found Beauty Babe by Michele on Yelp, and her all five-star reviews immediately stood out. Even so, it still took me a few months to make the appointment (it's hard to pause tretinoin!), but I'm SO glad I did. Michele is exactly as everyone says--sweet, humble, and incredibly talented. She took her time during both the initial procedure and the follow-up, listened carefully, and made adjustments until everything was perfect. I honestly couldn't be happier with my brows. I still use tretinoin, and even if my brows fade a bit faster, I'm totally fine coming back for touch-ups. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of her work. Highly recommend Michele--you won't regret it!

    Thank goodness for the Yelp app, which helped me find this stellar business listing, Beauty Babe. I…read morewas impressed with the owner's (Michele Malek) experience, photo gallery, response time, service offerings, and convenient location. Since leaving the workforce over ten years ago, I imagined waking up, rolling out of bed, not doing my make-up (although I minimally used eye and lip cosmetics due to the nature of my job), and looking decent. However, about seven years ago, I decided to try microblading my thinning and shortening eyebrows, and my husband lovingly teased me about having Rottweiler eyebrows. The painless semi-permanent microbladed eyebrows usually lasted two to three years, with proper annual to no maintenance. I was set for a maintenance appointment when I suddenly discovered that my usual artist had retired. I was left in a lurch because I planned to get the maintenance done before traveling domestically and abroad from late last year. I contacted Beauty Babe to inquire about her microblading and ombré powder tattooing services, appointment availability, and cost. Michele's friendliness and reassurance for assistance came through her voice. She also described the difference between microblading and ombré powder eyebrows, and I quickly agreed to book an appointment to see for myself. On the appointment day, Michele sent me a message regarding directions, parking lot availability, and security in her salon. I didn't take any interior photos for privacy because there were other clients and artists, even though the salon had privacy partitions and separate rooms for tattooing. After measuring my eyebrows, Michele applied makeup to my faded eyebrows to show me the difference between the microblading and ombré powder techniques. My only concern was having my eyebrows look natural and not dramatic. She did a few tweaks, which enhanced the shape, applied the topical anesthetic, and then did her magic. Within a couple of hours, I emerged from the salon with perfect and natural-looking eyebrows or, as they say, "eyebrows on fleek." She gave me an After Care package with instructions, mild liquid soap, tissues, a small tube of Vitamin A&D ointment, and yummy Ferrero Rocher candies. I look forward to an initial touch-up appointment within the next six to eight weeks, just before I'll be "on the road" again. Michele's excellent artistry has saved me time and made looking decent after waking up in the mornings even more enjoyable.

    My friend had her eyebrows done by Tina when she was just starting her business. She raved about…read morehow much she loved Tina's work. I was a bit skeptical for a few years, but eventually, I decided to that I was tired of having to do my eyebrows before starting my day (haha!). It's located across of Kahala Mall in the Kahala Professional Building on Kilauea Ave. There's a small parking area of only 4 stalls for visitors. However, there's a lot of street parking and possibly free parking at Kahala Mall. I first came to her in early 2024. Before making my appointment, I had a look at her Instagram and website. Since this was my first time getting my brows done, I had many questions. Tina was incredibly sweet and answered all my questions. She helped me feel more comfortable and made the whole process very easy and smooth. The initial appointment was slightly longer than the touch-up appointments because we carefully discussed the type of brows that would complement my face structure and my preferences. I trusted Tina to work her magic as I was unfamiliar with the process, and I'm so glad I did! My brows turned out beautifully, and I was absolutely in love with the result. They truly enhanced the natural beauty of my facial features. I came back for 2 touch up appointments within the next 2.5 years and each time I came back, I fall in love with my brows all over again. I've been trying to refer family and friends to Tina as she is a fantastic brow artist! She also specializes in lash enhancements including liner tattoo and lash perm. Congratulations to Tina for rebranding her studio from Brows by Tina to Restore Studio with an additional service of restorative, paramedical tattoo! I can't wait to have my brows touched up again in the next few years.

As a woman over 60, I was nervous because I've seen brow tattoos that look very dramatic, and I wanted something natural that would simply fill in the areas where I've lost hair over time. Tina was absolutely amazing. She explained the entire process step by step, checked in often about my comfort level, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. She matched my brow color perfectly and really listened to what I wanted. The results look natural and exactly what I hoped for. She also explained what to expect after the procedure, how to care for my brows, and even followed up with me by text to make sure everything was healing well. I'm looking forward to going back for my touch-up and highly recommend Tina--especially if you're looking for natural-looking brows and a provider who truly cares.

    I rarely ever write reviews, but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I went…read morein for a lash lift and brow lamination, and it turned out to be the worst service I've ever received. Both my eyelashes and eyebrows were completely burned. I normally have strong, healthy hair, but the owner left the perming solution on too long while she went to finish other things. Now, more than two weeks later, my lashes are still damaged beyond styling, rough to the touch, and my brows feel like brittle horse hair. What shocked me most is that the owner never even apologized. Instead, she suggested putting more chemicals on my already destroyed lashes and brows, which would only make the damage worse. On top of that, she constantly pushes products and treatments--even ones unsuitable for sensitive skin--making the whole experience feel more like a sales pitch than a professional service. To make matters worse, many of the positive reviews you see here are incentivized with discounts, which makes them misleading. The only credit I can give is to the esthetician who does facials--she actually knows her craft and recommended a product that worked wonders on my skin. Unfortunately, because of the owner's lack of responsibility, skill, and professionalism, I will not be returning. If you care about the health of your lashes, brows, or skin, please be cautious before booking here. Answer for the CARELESS owner: It's honestly mind-boggling how you refuse to admit the terrible work you did on my lashes and eyebrows. They're not just "over-curled" -- they are burned in spots, and I am now missing many lashes thanks to your careless work. Yes, you offered for another technician to do them another day, but I had scheduled my appointment for that day. I'm a busy woman, I don't have time to sit around in a salon every other day because you can't manage your schedule or use proper products. You should be ashamed for trying to justify what you did. There is no excuse. The truth is simple: you are a terrible technician, and clients should know the risk they're taking by trusting you with their lashes or brows.

    After looking at many ads, sites, and word of mouth, I chose to go to Yuriko of Summer Eyes…read more I've been going to Yuriko since 2022 for initial and maintenance eyebrow and eyeliner procedures. I chose Yuriko and would not go to anyone else because: Artistry 1. She is an artist. Her work shown in photos is even, smooth, enhancing, and natural. Her color choices are good. I'm cautious about anything permanent, I trust her. I get compliments on my brows and eyeliner. So far, 5 people have asked me for her contact info. 2. She individualizes each person's procedure and listens to what end effect is desired. She noticed that I raise my eyebrows a lot in conversation, so adjusted my eyebrow design to work with it (so I wouldn't look shocked/crazy). 3. I'm not a stunner, but Yuriko has helped my face look like a put together version - AND I don't have to do my brows or eyeliner daily. Experience 1. Yuriko has years of experience and training from both Japan and the US. 2. She continues to keep up with industry standards and products. She goes out of state for training, product shows. Professionalism 1. Yuriko measures, consults w you, explains, and we agree on what's going to be done before she starts. 2. She's warm and approachable. e.g., I am comfortable telling her I need more numbing cream during the process. 3. She provides pre-and post-instructions before the procedure. 4. Her prices are reasonable. Facilities 1. Free parking 2. Clean and cozy 3. Nearby bathroom available I'm glad I found Yuriko. She is sweet, caring, artistic, and approachable.

Also my lips has developed a severe reaction where it tingles and it keeps drying up. I'm awaiting on a test where they had to punch my lip to get skin. They say it may have been from filth which the place is cute but there's garbage, cotton tips everywhere! I'm now worried if the needle was clean! Save yourself and go somewhere else that's safe! It's not worth it especially when I paid in full. The vibe was okay at first but seriously too much information to a complete stranger! I'm glad I didn't pay to get my lashes done!
