    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.

    The bottom of my feet feels like a baby's butt!

    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.

    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've had many lash lifts over the years and my lashes must be difficult bc I've always had mixed outcomes. Imagine my delight to have my appointment with Malia. She took the time to ask questions and listen to my previous issues. She was very meticulous and conscientious with my lift, super skilled professional. Her lash lift is the best one I've ever had - the curl is dramatic, evenly spaced out, not a single errant lash. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. She mentioned several times that if they fall too quickly that I could come back but I've had enough lifts to know that this one is gonna be good and hold. I can see why she has such great reviews - her skill is off the charts! My brows also look nice and clean. I made my 6 week appt with her again right away on vagaro. The location is super convenient with entrance at the front of SALT from Ala Moana blvd. Take elevators to second floor. The space is loft like very airy with breezy curtains. I'll try to remember to bring cash for tip next time or you can Venmo it. They did allow me to tip on my card but signs suggested that they prefer it the other ways.

In this industry, cleanliness and the quality of products used are extremely important, and with Mikiko, those were never a concern.

The products she uses are high quality, and her knowledge and technique are unmatched. She is also incredibly meticulous and takes great pride in her work. She never rushes through appointments and always makes sure everything is perfect before finishing. A friend of mine who is a retired esthetician once asked if my lashes had been done by someone from Japan because she could immediately recognize the advanced technique and high-quality products being used.
