A simple manicure turned into a disaster she cut my thumb nail so short it really hurts. On the sides of my nails she dug in & cut leaving my fingers sore. Nail polish came off didn't even last a week terrible place I will never go back. Funny how they call themselves professional!! read more

Filthy! Customer service is horrible! Rude . I get they like to speak their language but they sure get offended when you speak your own language. I had a mani pedi and an infection never going back read more

I came here from a different salon with horrible nails that I got done yesterday. I'm so glad that Cindy was the one Who got my nails done cos she did amazing job with reshaping my nails and get them fabulous! She have years of experience with nails ,she's super nice and pleasant! Thank you so much:)) read more

Went here due to having a gift certificate. I only get my nails done 1-2 times a year. I go to have a relaxing time . When it came time to pay the technician before he painted my finger nails, it was very confusing. I got a basic, non gel pedicure/manicure. This is what my gift certificate was for. He kept asking for cash beyond the gift certificate. I handed him my card and he kept saying no cash. Turns out, he was asking for a tip? I gave him a cash tip. I know part of this was a language barrier, but he was very demanding. I almost walked out of the place in tears. Not a relaxing time. read more

i don't like leaving negative reviews but this one was really bad... dropped my little cousin off to go get an acrylic set and she said the lady working made her fingers bleed a lot, and it was uncomfortable. she didn't even ask her what shape or length she wanted, nor did she clean up her nails underneath. not worth $60+ at all. disappointed. if it costs that much, please ensure to do a better job. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Worst pedicure of my life and it looks like a 3 year old painted my toes.

We booked 6 people for a 9:30am appointment. It's for a bridal party. We chose this location because they said they could do us all at one time. When we arrived, the workers gave us attitude and said they need time to set-up, which was BS because all of their workers already had customers. Only 2 workers were available at our appointment time. Now 4 people in our group are waiting outside and it's going to take 3 times as long go get us all finished. read more

Absolutely terrible. I was a walk-in. They did take me approximately when they quoted me for. About 20 min wait time. The girl who did my nails was very distracted with everything going on around her. So she kept taking breaks. So needless to say my nails did take longer then normal. I showed a specific picture in regards to what I wanted. A simple coffin shaped, ombré fade. Their sign says "full acrylic set-$35". So that's what I got. However, I ended up paying $62.50. Apparently getting coffin shape and acrylic fade cost $10 more each. As well as I specifically asked for NO GEL topcoat as I know they charge more for one, and second, I don't like how thick gel is and how on my nails it seems to turn yellow. So my nail tech insisted on gel top coat, one layer. More so pushed me to do it and said no to regular polish. And then charged me another $10. GEL TOP COAT does not equal gel nails. These nail places need to understand gel polish is not the same as gel nails. Unless you are free sculpting it is not gel. If you are going to up charge for every little thing, then at least communicate that as we are going along. Never once was I told this or this is more. Price-I've paid this at other places for having way better quality and design. And I understood what I was paying for before it was done. Quality- acrylic was way to thick and uneven. Shape was wrong and too square. I went home and filed them myself. Now it looks "better" Used to come here as a teenager, was home visiting. Quality and price not worth it. I'd pay more to go somewhere else read more

I am so disgusted with this place. So unprofessional and rude! They took advantage and overcharged my 13 year old niece and made like we were at fault. She NEVER said she wanted gel. In fact she made sure she told him only a regular full set $45. He never communicated with her. Added on the gel $55 plus another $5 for the almond shape and even added in his own $5 tip without her knowing! On top of that her nails looked like crap. Crooked, uneven and thick! Stay away. Horrendous ghetto place read more

I'll give two because my toes do look decent . BUT they do not seem to be on top of cleanliness . I wish we would have just left but we already had been driving around forever to find a nail place and this was recommended by a local You can tell they don't autoclave their instruments and they use the same scrub stones on each person and nail files They do use plastic barriers for the tubs . So that's one good thing Didn't seem to be that friendly and was very rushed . Not worth 30 bucks to me . read more

was awful my friend and i went, despite the things said and with all the reviews you see and what ppl tell you, i dont recommend this place. nails looked nothing like the reference pic at all. my friend and i did not like our nails. design was terrible. we got out nails done a week ago and her nail already broke off. read more

I've had better nail experiences and quality. Walked in to get an acrylic manicure. All my nails were uneven in length and shape. My manicure definitely seemed rushed. I got gel on top of my nails too and that was decent. Would most likely only go back if nowhere else was open and I needed a mani. or pedi. ASAP. read more

Went to get a full set of acrylics done. The guy who did my nails did it so fast...it shows! I asked for coffin/ballerina shaped nails. He filed way too much, you can see my natural nail bed showing on the sides. On a few fingernails the acrylic is so thick and not evenly filed down!!! I'm so disappointed- never going back to get my nails done here. Will spend the money on someone who will take their time on each nail and make sure I leave happy. read more

Oh no! I didn't check the rating before coming here... Big mistake on my part. I'm actually here right now, it's that bad I'm yelping about it so other yelpers don't make the same mistake I did. First off we walked in, no one welcomed us, no one checked to see if we had an appointment (which we did). It took them about 10 minutes before we were approached. Into the $17 mani there were three woman talking in of course a different language. They would talk, laugh, then asked " you like pink" ( I picked pink for my nails... What do you think) I said only once a year... They kept talking about who knows what then asked "you have nose ring" well skinny lady I do! OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!! Moral of my review is if you decide to come here make sure you purchase Rosetta Stone and learn whatever language they speak and also just do your own nails. I will take a picture of the job. read more

Hate to review somewhere I went while on vacation so negatively... but wow. Very rushed and overpriced pedicure. She only did one coat and there's lumps in the polish. She was so careless she only put lotion on one foot, and no I'm not expecting a top of the line massage, but for $30 I expect something a little better than carelessly wiping lotion on my legs for a minute while you talk to your coworker. To prospective customers, find another nail salon on the island. read more

Horrible customer service. I made this Yelp account specifically to say this. Don't go here

I'm giving a 2 star rating because my nails did look decent. She shaped my nails very different than the other hand though. I got a manicure with regular nail polish. Usually when I get the regular nail polish, it lasts a few weeks. This time it lasted 2 days and I'm very disappointed. She rushed through my nails, and it shows. I wish I knew her name but I didn't care to ask. read more

Professionail - I got my manicure 2 days ago!!!! And the polish already chipped - Nail Salons Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

This salon is usually pretty decent, however I had Helen do my gel manicure today she told me it was $35 and then charged me $41.88! Helen is rude and aggressive and was pulling my hands around! She filed a few of my nails crooked, and when I asked her to make them straight she glared at me and said I needed to tell her earlier but I didn't notice it earlier! She was visibly irritated with me and became very aggressive with the way she was grabbing my hands and fingers! She started painting the color on my nails and did not paint my entire nail she missed a good portion next to my cuticle as if the polish had been there for more than a weeks worth of growth!! When I asked if she could paint my entire nail she stood up and simply walked away! Some other manicurist came and finished my nails! The second lady did not speak to me gave me a very short hand massage and skipped putting oil on my cuticles once the manicure was over! When I went to the front to pay Wendy the manager basically made excuses for her employees rude and unprofessional behavior! She didn't even really apologize! Overall this was a terrible experience and I will never go back there to get my nails done!! read more

Like everyone else said, I should've checked the Yelp reviews before deciding to come here for my pedicure. It was a terrible experience and I will not be coming back again. The nail tech I got wasn't talkative. I had a better conversation with the manicurist that was helping the customer next to me. He wasn't even finishing up or with a customer when I walked in. He was just sitting at his table doing nothing, but was rushing through my pedicure. During the time he was soaking and cutting my nails, he put lotion and cuticle oil on one foot but not the other. I'm not the type of person that'll tell someone how to do their job, but this was ridiculous. The quality of the paint job was very poor. He even nail polish on my skin. For this type of paint job, I could've saved myself $28 and painted my toenails myself. He asked me if I wanted to get a manicure too while I was here. Uh, no thanks buddy. Not after this stellar pedicure you gave me. The upside to this place is that it's clean, but definitely not worth coming back. Trust me when I say you can go to another salon that'll be cheaper and provide better service and quality. read more

I was in need of a fill and I thought I would give this place a try. When I came, my nails were long and coffin shape. When I left, my nails were short and square shape..? I was really confused. I even told the guy doing my nails I wanted coffin and to them keep long and still ended up with square and extremely short compared to what they were. The overall finish was lumpy, crooked, and some nails were longer than the nails on the other hand. $45 for nails even I could have done better on. He clearly did not know what he was was doing because a fill is quite simple, and shouldn't completely change the way my nails looked. I've never had nails done so bad in my life. read more

My mom and I had a good experience here. Since it was the closest nail salon to us, we thought to give it a try. Lynn was my manicurist and she was extremely patient and understanding to my many indecisions! She was great about me switching colors and shaping my nails to my liking! Her attention to detail is phenomenal! She takes the time to make your nails look and feel great! I recommend her for sure! It's been almost 2 weeks since getting them and they are smooth, no chip on the tips, and though my nails are longer you can't tell the color has grown out! My mom went to John, he too did a wonderful job on her nails! You never know what you're gonna get when walk into a nail place, glad this was a nice experience with the nail techs we had! read more

The owner and the staff were rude and yelled at their customers. I was overcharged for manicure and removing my acrylics. The manicurist was rough and did not do my manicure well. I had my hands soaked in acetone for few minutes and then warm water. The polish was applied badly and was leaking from my nails and she didn't clean it. She used a cheap lotion that smelled horrible and the cuticle oil was not even used. I was exploited for paying more and received a horrible service. Do not go there. read more

My experiences there have been ver hit or miss. It's very inconsistent. I usually go for acrylic sets and gel polish. I've gotten nice sets and other times really thick and just really sloppy looking sets. I went yesterday and that's exactly what I got. The nail tech didn't even push back my cuticles. Acrylic sets and gel polish usually takes 1-1.5 hours and he took 40 minutes to get it done. If you're planning to get acrylics done then this place is probably not for you. read more

Dirtiest salon I've ever been in. Didn't shape any of my nails evenly, glued my nails to my skin, and made me bleed using the dremel. My manicure was 60 dollars, I gave 80 and they almost didn't give me any change back! I never leave reviews, but to assume a 33% tip on a poorly done manicure was the tip of the iceberg for me. Time to go home and reshape my 75 dollar manicure. read more

Never again. This place wants to charge to repaint? After the 2nd coat I told her it looks so light...not like the pallette.....of course she persuades me and says that's how its natural looking! She also says I charge $10more cause uts glitter. Day later I call and say i need it redone, not satisfied..man says come in and I look...he thinks its okay and says you call when girl working..talk to her. So I leave and call another day later...girl says speak to my manager. Okay manager says after explaining what happened she has to charge $20..At this point 15 min later I say no way will I ever return again. Why would she charge when it looks nothing like the palette. Looks like a home job. If I wanted to pay again I would not go back there...hello...re do it, no charge, save the grief! Gel nails are not cheap! She then says no charge come in? No thanks! Bad management, dirty outfit, poor service. Convenient cause they always say yes you come. 3 time benefit of the doubt..will never give them a penny more. read more

Professionail - Worst service - Nail Salons Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Worst. Manicure. Ever. Gel application uneven. thumbnails are two totally different shapes. Some nails are shorter than the rest. Male nail tech unfriendly and impatient. Instruments not clean. Used same nail files on everyone. Don't. Go. Here. Absolutely horrible! read more

for years I was going to Professionail in Kukui Grove, for the most part the service was decent. I guess you could say I was a regular customer, came in once a month every month. The last time I went in to get a pedicure I was told "sorry we are busy" even though no one was sitting in the pedicure chairs, the salon was actually pretty empty. Just the workers sippin' on their Starbucks. I thought to myself "okay, maybe they are busy?" I went to get a coffee and not 10 minutes later when I walk past the salon again I hear the "you don't have pedicure appointment? It's okay just sign in". Rude right? Unreal. When I moved home after college I went to Professionail every month for 2 years. Do the math, $40 pedicure every month for 24 months. In the last year they've been messing up big time. They hang up on me when I call, give me attitude when I didn't tip with cash, how's that?? Give me attitude when I charge the tip on my card, the workers at Professionail actually told me "don't you have cash to tip me? I prefer cash tip" and when I say sorry no cash they roll their eyes?? BYE FELICIA Also I think that Professionail is using watered down products, if you know what I mean. Went in for a manicure 3 hours before my Hawaiian Airlines interview, left the salon like "okay my French manicure looks alright, little crooked but oh well", get to the interview look at my nails, top coat and white paint already coming off! Literally I could peel the paint right off my nail. Went back and showed them what happened the same day and the response I got was "that's not our fault, maybe you wash your hand too fast". Unbelievable! For the last couple of months I've been going to Kauai Nail Spa in Kapaa next to Safeway. ALWAYS great service, and I don't feel like the nails techs are talking shit about me. Always friendly, unlike Professionail. Really wish I could give a "Zero Star" rating. read more

I left the place with an infection. 'nuff said. (additionally, the lady didn't give me a foot massage, even though everyone else getting pedicures got one for the same price) read more

I went in to get a full set and they came out very thick and uneven. The acrylic powder and gel hardened on the sides of my nails and had to break it off my skin. I was pretty disappointed for $50. Also when I asked the nail technician to file my nails a little less round, he scoffed and laughed soooo it's not the best customer service either. read more

It has been one full year since my torturous trip to Professionail. I left there with two infected big toes that caused intense pain and limping for months. I couldn't go on hikes or even walk at all without pain. It took a professional (not ProfessioNail) to fix my toes and get me moving again. A year later I might be close to fully healed. I cannot recommend going elsewhere enough. read more

Never in my life have I been so frustrated with a nail salon. Got a deluxe pedicure with gel. Got a subpar massage with a equally disappointing finished product.

I came here twice and both experiences were alright. I've had better manicures and pedicures in my lifetime. First of all, the nail polish on the shelves are poorly organized. The colors are sorted all over the place making it difficult to find the color and shade that I want. The pedicure was alright, the water was not as warm as I'd like and the massage lasted about five minutes. And the lady who did my pedicure did a terrible job painting my nails. It's sloppy and she didn't clean the edges of my nails, so there's some polish on my skin. Also, the staff isn't very friendly or engaging, aside from two ladies. However, they are very accommodating to parties. I came in with a party of three and she tried her best to get us all a station next to each other, which she was able to. And she did the same thing for a couple getting pedicures together as well. Overall, this place is alright. It's not my favorite place to get my nails done, nor would I choose to come here. I'm sure there are much better nail salons on Kauai. read more
