More nail art than you could ever try!!!! This is a great little nail salon and relatively easy to get an appointment. You can call, stop in, or request an appointment on their website and they usually confirm within a couple days. They are open until midnight which is bonkers, but must be good for those who work atypical schedules or those with insomnia. But it's just so convenient. The space is small so you'll want to show up right at your appointment time or walk around Don Q, which is a perk in itself. Hundreds of colors, gel, regular polish, and Japanese hard gel for extensions or overlays. Kind, helpful staff is always an added bonus. Location and ease of making an appointment is what keeps me coming back. Plus it's super clean. read more

When midnight strikes... You'll have shiny beautiful nails :) I was on a serious time constraint when a fellow co worker of mine says go to the place in Don Quijote! What happened is I went to a new place where language was a serious problem as everything went wrong including my nails where it started to chip and with a week filled with work and appointments I didn't have time to get it fixed and didn't want to go back to the same place and decided to see if I could get it changed here. There were busy as I always see as this shop is quite tiny but did manage to get an appointment in just a couple of hours and was so delighted to get it done was a huge relief though the unimaginable happened it started to peel in just three days so I went back to ask if it's possible to fix which they immediately did though the actual staff wasn't there that day so it was another that did and really went above and beyond to not just fix but applied the gel in a way that made my nail looked straight as she says she noticed a slight curve to it and really took the time to get it right along with the shaping. The vibe here is nice even though it was quite small they have tv showing Food Network and loved that they provide basket for your items along with a phone stand for your phone as well the service here is so nice and polite I will be back. Thank you! read more

오늘 8시에 저의 딸의 프롬 드새스 색과 비슷한 색으로 젤네일을 하였고 ASAMI 는 아주 친절하게 대화해가면서 어떤지 계속 체크해가면서 네일을하는데 아주 프로페셔널하게 작은 디테일의 꽃 디자인까지도 아주 완벽하게 해주셨다 .

I recently had the chance to try out Pure Nail Salon inside Don Quijote, and let me tell you, I'm probably switching salons - please don't tell my usual salon! The biggest selling point for switching is their hours--they're open until midnight! It's perfect for those of us who can't always make it because we work 9-5 and now I don't have to sacrifice a Saturday to get my nails done. Just a heads up, though: they can get pretty busy, so making an appointment is definitely the way to go. I called around 7:00 PM and the earliest they could fit me in was 8:30 PM. Jestiny was my manicurist, and by the way, her cat nails were so cute! She helped me find a gel polish that was natural but still gave my long nails a polished look without being too opaque. I usually skip nail extensions since my nails are naturally strong and long on their own, so I appreciated how she made my nails look so clean and chic. If you're looking for a late-night nail spot with great service and a talented team, Pure Nail Salon is definitely worth checking out! Some other perks is the fact that it's in DonQ, small interior but you don't need a lot of space to get your nails done. I also really love the pre-set nails on the wall! If you don't know what to get, just check the wall. Definitely coming back for one of those sets. read more

It's unfortunate to write this but when you're scheduled for a gel removal and you're told on the phone that it's only going to take 30 minutes, you're going to plan the rest of your night based on that. Tell me why this service almost took 90 minutes....the technician I had wasn't trained to use the drill so she was constantly trying to file the gel nails away, but each attempt felt futile when my fingers had to continue soaking in the acetone at least 2 more times. The customer next to me finished her whole set of gel nails before I finished removing mines. After the 70 minute mark, one of the senior techs noticed it was taking longer than normal so she jumped in and helped to do my other hand. I honestly was so irritated by this whole experience and the fact that they still charged me for the full price of $30 to remove my gel nails when it took 3x as long to get them off.... Baffled. My plans for a Friday night did not account for this and and I hate to be that person but I'd rather spend my time and money elsewhere for a while read more

worst experience ever. the lady rushed my service, toenails were cut crooked and painted crooked. Most places have a timer for the massage portion, they did not and I felt like me and my daughter both got less than 5 minutes. Now I have to pay someone else to get them fixed. read more

We've always passed by on the way into Don Quijote. Always wondered what went on in there lol. Small little shop. There are three tvs on the walls so you can watch TV while you get a manicure or pedi at any angle. They have a lot of advertisements on the wall and information about what they do, like men manicures which is great. They also have samples of what nails they can do all over. I did the standard pedicure, which included a foot soak, a short massage, cuticle cleaning and one color to paint your nails. I chose a sparkly bluish green color. The very lovely lady that did my pedi even cut my nails lol. She was very gentle with handling my feet. It was a nice and short massage on my feet and calves. When she scrubbed my heels, she used not a hard pumice tool so it didn't hurt, only tickled. It was a wonderful experience! Even the nail polish lasted for a very long time; I still have it now! Thank you so much! read more

Even with a reservation, the wait can be long, so it's best to avoid this place if you're on a tight schedule.

Only one week in for a gel manicure and my nails look like this. It started chipping less than a week. One gel manicure and one regular pedicure took over 2 hours. I think they gave me an intern or student. This was my first time here and I'm very disappointed. What a waste of my time and money. read more

Pure Nails & Beauty - Chipped and gel gone after one week - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came here to get my pageant nails done. Booking a reservation was quick and way, I called and told them which day and what time. They had a opening within an hour of the time I wanted to come with my sister. My nail technician, Sarah, was helpful in picking out my colors. I wanted it similar to the sample, but a shade of pink lighter than what was shown. She brought out several colors for me to pick from and tested them before continuing painting. It took about 3 hours for her to do my nails, but she was very careful and precise in applying the stones. Of course I had to get my pedicure after with my favorite feet massage! That took another hour, but it was worth it for the relaxation and stress relieve. read more

My pointer fingernail on right hand had broken from the side due to uneven application (unfortunately i didn't take any pictures because i thought if it broke, which it did, they would fix it for me.) So i went in today to get the pointer fingernail fixed and this is what i had to walk out the store with. I paid for the fix too. I've been to this salon a lot and the nail techs know much nails are thin and flat. I expect an apex to be formed so my nails don't bend and cause breaks on the sides. The gel application on my pointer fingernail is wonky and the red color is not correctly matched to the others. When I addressed my concerns to my tech she said theres enough to keep it from breaking again. I wish to discuss this with the owner of this business. Please contact me through yelp.

I've walked past this nail place many many times, but never thought of actually going there to get a pedicure, until I discovered that a good friend of mine has been getting her nails done here for close to a decade (or longer!). If you're looking for a spa-experience (quiet, relaxing music), this is NOT your place. It's a small place, and there's not much ambiance, but the price is reasonable and the technicians do a good job. They have really good hours (can't think of another place where you can get a pedicure at 10 pm) and if you want some nail art done, they can draw it or you can look in their book of stickers. read more

They where very nice and professional. I got there one time and they seated me right away. However there was a miscommunication because I has gel pedicure and it was not understood during my call to book for the appointment so they didn't have time to give me a full pedicure (soaking in the water or the massage), although they did change the polish so I think it was good. The nail were amazing because it was lunar new year and I picked one the lunar new year theme specials. read more

Pure Nails & Beauty - Jan 2023 special - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Each seat area is cleaned, sanitized between appointments. The ladies are very efficient. There are lots of design choices displayed on the walls. One customer had pictures for her manicure and the nail technician didn't hesitate to recreate. I did a gel pedicure with removal from a different salon ($71). My nail technician was very gentle with my removal and new set. Salon is located in Don Quijote - when you enter it'll be on the right side. It is small - 4 pedicure seats and 6 manicure seats. There are lots of color polish choices. read more

Today was my very first time ever coming to this salon I was a bit skeptical as my last go to place wasn't as great as it was before but I'm really appreciative of the service I received as a new customer. My gel pedicure looks amazing. I will definitely make another appointment soon. read more

My goodness. Let me throw my nail artist's name out there, SAORI. Girl. The attention to DETAIL. I am a noob as they would say, in this nail design industry. I watch TikTok videos and think, wow, that nail design looks easy and fast. NO! With quality work, it takes time. And with Japanese Gel, this is truly an art form that takes a patient artist to make your vision come true and the material is a very interesting moldable consistency for nail polish. Word of warning, Japanese Gel is THICCC. Yes, three C's. It likes to layer and create weight so that your design can last through the abuse you may put your nails through. I was an ignorant and told Saori I wanted thin lines and a light weighted design. She said, are you sure & I was like, yes please. When I saw the gel being placed on a stone and blended out before it's molded and painted on my fingernails I actually realized what an arduous task I just requested. Wonderful, sweet Saori said not a single complaint and was all focused on making sure the design looked exactly like the example I've shown her. We changed colors like 5 times since it didn't appear right on my nail or the color wasn't bold enough. It took 2 1/2 hours and she made it happen. Thank you, thank you so much for making my birthday vacation nails look better than they ever had in their life. I have been gladly showing them off to my family and flaunting them every chance I got:) read more

I love getting my nails done here by Alyssa! I usually get a gel manicure and she always executes my request, whether it be glazed donut, chrome, or cat eye. What I also love about this salon is that they use high quality Japanese nail products that don't damage your natural nails. You can tell everything is clean and sanitary. And whenever Alyssa removes my old gel she never damages my natural nails, unlike at other salons! Alyssa kills it every time! read more

Three stars overall but two additional stars thanks to Asami. My girl was in the mood for something cute, fun, and different since we were in Hawaii & full vacay mode had taken over. She stumbled across some Japanese nail art on social media and quickly made the decision to have some pampering done. With our search came Pure Nails and we immediately gave them a call and set up two appointments. We are immediately welcomed when we arrive and are given photo books of designs. With me deciding not to have any type of gel polish done, I was given a separate book dedicated to regular polish. Nothing caught my eye so I just went with a basic manicure. Asami was my nail technician and was amazing from start to finish. I appreciated her friendly vibes and loved the fact that she didn't rush the job [which happens so often in this type of industry]. Asami is meticulous in her work - buffing, filing, trimming each and every little thing. My regular mani came out BOMB so I can't imagine how her Japanese-Style Gel Art looks. Service here can't be beat and my only complaint is how far this business is from my home!! Wishing California & Honolulu was a lot closer than the 2400 miles. I would highly highly recommend this nail salon- you won't be disappointed. Depending on your work, cost is more on the higher side but you can't really put a price tag on CUTE & QUALITY- esp not while on vacay!! **When following your gps, do not be alarmed that it takes you into the Don Quijote shopping plaza. Pure Nails is located on the right hand side as soon as walk into the entrance.** read more

These ladies are the best! This was our second time here and even though there was a mixup and confusion on my end, they were still so nice and apologetic. It was so nice to have such polite and awesome customer service! Asami was the nail artist who did my daughters nails and she is so sweet & very patient! Thank you so much!! She explained everything to us since I was a bit confused between the different types of polish/services and answered any questions I had... I'm sorry for the trouble! My daughters nails came out sooo cute! She's so happy!! read more

First time here and I'm beyond impressed! The woman who did my nails (sorry I forgot her name) was amazing! It's exactly why I wanted and they were thorough. Only thing to note is that it may not be the most modern place, but that's not something that others me. Highly recommend the Japanese gel in particular! read more

A nail salon open 7 days a week until MIDNIGHT!! This is unheard of in the Bay Area and so fun especialllly for moms that don't have time, you have the comfort of getting pampered after dark while kiddos are asleep at home with papa . I love all the different designs and options as well as the set prices. Yuko the owner is so detailed and takes her time to make sure your nails are beautiful. My sis in law was from Cali visiting and did a girls night with her while i got a pedi. This was a 2 hour process so bring coffee if you're not a night haha. Located inside Donki, call ahead to make an appointment. I made the appointment the day before and was able to get a 10pm appt for sunday night. Warning for the fickle and the gemini's like me though: It is really tough to decide which design to go with because there are so many beautiful options! Will def be coming back. read more

Have you seen those reviews that show "what I asked for" vs "what I got", well for my first visit at Pure Nails & Beauty... well pretty much ever, the end result of my gel manicure is exactly what I wanted. Having experienced good and awesomely sweet nail technicians in the past, I wanted to venture out and experience nail salons that have a wider variety of Japanese gels and nail techs that don't use electronic tools for filing (nothing wrong with the use of such especially those with vast experience, but this is more of a preference). Nicole at Pure Nails & Beauty did not disappoint. In fact this was my first visit to any nail salon that I got exactly what I requested for. With COVID procedures in effect, booking an appointment can be done via phone or Line (must be made minimum 3-days in advance). You can check out their IG page (@purenailsandlash) for their phone number and a link to their website. Mask up - it's not political it's for the safety of your and those around you, health and welfare. They ask that you come alone for your appointment, so no friends or kiddos may tag along. When you first arrive, they ask that you wait patiently at their door where your temperature is taken and you sanitize you're hands. TIP: Have a good hand wash before you go (wash up to your elbows) so you can feel nice, refreshed and you'll know you've got clean hands. One of their lovely staff members will assist your to your nail technician and from their you're set! Enjoy the comfortable chair and relax while treating yourself. Nicole was so cool Easy to talk story with and I've dubbed her as the Queen of spot on gel color - she was able to look at the picture of a nail design that I wanted and wham bam, she nailed (no pun intended) the color! For me, it's not just about color and design but it's nail shape. You can't have a good manicure with nails that are shaped funky. It just kinda ruins the whole manicure not to mention when it grows out, it'll be... meh . From my description, Nicole knew just what and wanted and explained her cleaning and shaping procedure before we started. She explained that Pure Nails & Beauty does not use electronic tools to shape or clean nails, but does everything using manual tools. This allows the nail technician to have full control of the removal process as well as cleaning so that no additional part of the nail bed is removed that shouldn't be. Nicole was absolutely wonderful. So graceful, careful and kind, she shaped my oddly grown out nails to a smooth not-too-short round shape and just was spot on for the design. I was so excited that I kept looking and admiring my hands LOL! She must have been like, "girl, I need yo hands back bruh" lol My whole experience was just great. The staff was so nice and welcoming that it felt liked I had been coming to them in like forever. I can tell you for sure while this may have been my first visit, this isn't going to be my last that's for sure. read more

Another great experience at Pure Nails! This time Namani helped me. She is fabulous. She takes her time shaping each nail and cleaning down the edges. I appreciate that she does not rush though this step. I feel like this is one of the most important steps in getting a manicure. She also was able to shape my short nails into an "almond shape" as I asked. Many technicians would simply say "no, it's too short to do that." Namani was friendly the whole time. I appreciated her honesty and professionalism when I asked for advice on color and design. I mentioned that my pedicure was not what I had in mind but I liked It anyways. She assured me that if it wasn't what I had in mind that I could come back in 3 days (their policy) to get it fixed for free. I am not a complainer, nor do I like to be a hassle during the most busy time of the year (Christmas eve eve) but she made me feel valued and for that, I thank her!! I will definitely be back! Thank you Namani! read more

Went here for the first time today as I'm trying to take better care of my nails. It's Christmas season, so I had a festive design in mind. I walked in and was surprised, the salon area is quite smaller than I imagined, but it was late morning so fairly empty. My nail tech was Nanami, and she nailed my design. I had a picture ready and she just totally exceeded my expectations. I saw someone else post about how detail oriented she is, and that's so true! My snowflakes are perfection and even DIFFERENT ON EACH HAND. Nanami also asked how I liked the design every step of the way before moving on and if she was hurting me etc. Such great service; I think I found my new nail tech! The cool thing about this salon is that they are open until midnight from Thursday-Sunday. Pretty cool considering people have such busy schedules. They also just opened another section of the shop that does does waxing and extensions if anyone is interested! read more

Woohooo! They're open until midnight. I come here and get my eyebrows waxed and let me tel you - Sarah is the best. She is very friendly and professional. I've been coming to Sarah for almost a year. I even got my roommate hooked on her amazing work. Great job, Sarah. read more

Is it normal to be seen 20-30 min after having an appointment? That seems to always happen to me here when I make an appointment so maybe I will just start walking in instead. I love getting my nails done by Alyssa! If she wasn't there, I would definitely rate this place a lot lower. I really don't like to get my nails done by other techs here. The other techs rush on my nails and don't really do a great job. You will know who these techs are because they are always available. read more

I'm getting my pedicure done as I start this review and I'm really happy with how my manicure came out! I made an appointment for a Japanese gel manicure and regular pedicure through yelp a few weeks before my requested date and time and was messaged back with a confirmation. I also received a text reminder the day before my appointment, which I appreciated. I used to always get my nails done like every other month, but cut it down to special occasions only. I also usually go to a different nail place in kahala, but wanted a certain design this time, so I chose to come to Pure Nails. Nanami was my nail tech and she was sooo good! Very detailed oriented and she always checked in on how I liked the design and if I was ok in general. After the manicure, it seemed like she was going to check me out, so I told her I had also scheduled a pedicure. I guess the person who booked my appointment missed the pedicure part, but Nanami said she could get me in for the pedi too...which I was grateful for (my feet were looking really bad)!! Anyway, all together it's going to take about three hours and I think it's worth it! I certainly will be back and hopefully Nanami will be there!! read more

My total go to place to get my nails done. It's been a while and they do a fantastic job using the Japanese Gel Nails. Designs are also beautiful. I also like the monthly design specials that keep your hands looking cute. The space is really clean and they do more than just nails. They have baskets for your bags and these really comfy chanel looking pillows to rest your arms on while you are getting your nails done. It's a little squishy in there but there is a second work space on the other side of the front area of the store. There are bathrooms in Don Quijote but not in the salon. Great and friendly staff and their hours of operation are extensive. read more
