Gradient Nail never leaves me disappointed. As a returning customer for years I am always pleased…read morewith the services and availability!! Called in a last minute mani pedi and they said we got u. Their new location is just gorgeous with a relaxing atmosphere, not to mention their new selection of beverages to enjoy while getting your nails done! I got the royal coffee and it's actually one of the best coffees I've had if it wasn't so strong I'd order 10 of them. They provide free water and I also got a green tea. Aside from that they have such incredibly skilled nail artists, I always make sure to get Alex for all my French mani needs! He has his technique down to a tea with precision and machine-like accuracy. My love for this shop just increases more over time and I am so glad to watch them expand from what they had before. It's safe to say every penny is well spent here!!!!

I'm absolutely in love with my nails! Lily (one of the owners) truly exceeded my expectations,…read moreevery-time. Been going here for years now and every time I have an appointment I always look forward to it and very excited. From the moment I sat down, she was so warm, professional, and detail-oriented. She took her time to understand exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. The shape is perfect, the ombré blend is so smooth and clean, and the finish is super glossy and elegant. I've gotten so many compliments already! You can really tell she takes pride in her work -- nothing felt rushed, and every detail was carefully done. Not only is her work beautiful, but their new location was super spacious, clean, hygienic, and comfortable, which is so important to me. She's incredibly talented and consistent! If you're looking for a nail tech who delivers high-quality, stunning results every single time -- she's the one. Or any one at this salon I Highly, highly recommend!

This was my 4th visit to CiCi Nails. My best experience was my 2nd visit when Don did my gel…read moremanicure. Unfortunately, today's visit was not a good experience, and there were too many issues to overlook. Before coming in, I texted Tina to book specifically with her and Don at 3:45pm and confirmed pricing at $90 total, $50 for gel manicure and $40 for a basic pedicure. When I arrived around 3:55pm, I was told it would actually be $95 due to a $5 gel removal fee that was never disclosed upfront. That immediately left a bad impression. When I arrived, both Don and Tina were still working on another customer. Don brought me to a pedicure chair and started my service, and I initially appreciated his attention to detail. At the same time, Christy began removing my gel polish. Then two walk-in customers arrived, and Don stopped mid-service on me to attend to them. My appointment was interrupted and handed off. Tina never transitioned to me as expected, and Christy ended up finishing my pedicure. The bigger issue is that my pedicure was incomplete. My toe cuticles were not cleaned and my heels were not scrubbed, both basic steps listed in their service description. I know this because I watched Don perform those exact steps on the new customer next to me after leaving my service. When I raised this, I was told it had already been done and that I must have "fallen asleep," which was not true. That response was frustrating and dismissive. During my manicure, Christy attempted cuticle work but cut my skin multiple times on two fingers to the point of bleeding. I had to wash my hands to remove the blood, and antiseptic was applied afterward. As I write this, my fingers are still throbbing. To be fair, she did shape my nails evenly and the final color turned out beautifully. I also understand her method of curing one or two nails at a time is standard for gel application. However, she repeatedly commented on how "short" my nails are even after I explained that is my preference, which felt unnecessary. After the manicure, there was no hand or arm massage at all, despite their gel manicure including a 3-minute lotion and massage. This was another expected step that was skipped. I do appreciate that they try to accommodate walk-ins and that the staff were working hard. I still left a 20% tip because of that, though in hindsight I do not feel the service warranted it. They also charge an additional 3% for credit card use. Overall, the experience included a price discrepancy, service interruption, incomplete services, painful cuts, and a lack of accountability when concerns were raised. I will not be returning and would caution others before booking.

Ever since moving to Honolulu, I had struggled to find a reliable nail salon. I have a pincer nail…read moreon my left big toe (caused by wearing the wrong hiking shoes on a strenuous, 18-mile hike that I did in 2018). The mutated nail is managed by monthly pedicure appointments, meaning highly experienced nail techs. The Beauty Bar was the 3rd nail salon I tried out and I haven't had to go anywhere else. I've been coming for the last 3 months and continue to be very happy with the service and results. Not only is my pincer nail always treated and trimmed carefully and expertly, the pedicures are well done and last for over 4 weeks (just using regular polish, not gel). I haven't tried the Japanese gel manicure yet, but I'm waiting for a special occasion to make the splurge. There's only a couple of downsides: 1) the prices are very high and 2) the massages are too soft. For example, I've paid $4 or $5 for callous removal at other salons, but they charge $10 here. Otherwise, I have no other complaints. I love the ease of the online booking system. The salon is clean and has a very chill vibe.

I love coming to this place to have my fingers and toes done because, if I have to be honest, I always thought having manicures to be too lah dee dah, but not here at The Beauty Bar.
