    Tammy did my nails and eyebrows and let me tell you she was so gentle and she took her time and put effort into doing my nails and I loved that! Not once did she cut my cuticles! Would definitely recommend going to her!

    This place is getting worse. I literally paid $80 plus tip and not even an hour later, one of my toenails is already messed up. It's all bubbling up. I'm happy they were able to expand their salon, but if you can't hire reliable tech, then this is a waste of money. Very disappointing.

    Located in Kapolei in the shopping mall with Office Max, Popeye Chicken and many other restaurants and businesses. This place is always packed and customers come from all over like my wife from downtown Honolulu she has to do her nails and pedicures here at Royal Nails, she said they do the best and there work last longer than many other places she tried. They do everything here and the service is fast because they have 24 pedicures stations and about 24 nail stations and private rooms towards the back for other types of treatments. The wait time is very minimal if any! They also have a restroom towards the back which is clean and well maintained. Lots of parking spaces as they share with the other many business.

    Cathy completed my request, like always. The service at Royal Nails is great. They are currently giving a facelift to the table lighting and chairs.

    This is the first time I'm disappointed after getting my nails done!!! Decided to take a recommendation from my daughter and travel to Kapolei to have my nails done at "ROYAL NAILS"... The nail technician didn't introduce herself and just handed me a nail polish sample and kept asking what color I liked . I asked if they did "cat eye polish" and she left and came back and said yes. My pedicure went well... well my daughter's experience was horrible, she refused to have her manicure done and left!!!! I explained my manicure to the technician and she said wait until it's time I'm not going to remember. She proceeded and I definitely explained that I wanted on my I ring fingers... the one on the right facing in and the one on the right facing out... after more than 5 tries she said she got it and continued on the left finger... I had specific thoughts but she never engaged with asking for my thoughts...when she was done I looked at my right hand and said it didn't look good. She did it again then said that was the best she could do... over with the unprofessional experience...I paid my tab even tipped her and left!!! I HATE my nails... WILL NEVER go back, after spending $150...I will not recommend either my technician Coco or my daughter's technician Mindy.

    I never leave reviews but my nails are so bad :/ I got a gel mani/pedi. the lady was very nice but kept trying to upsell the entire time, which is fine. My fingers are in so much pain and are completely swollen from her continuing to remove skin and CHUNKS of my skin. the polish job is so bad, I asked for a red gel polish with chrome for a Xmas party, and she got the red polish on my skin (hence why she had to keep ripping my skin off). it's honestly probably the worst manicure I've ever had. Im definitely uncomfortable in these situations and didn't feel comfortable enough to speak up. although I wish I did, because my fingers are swollen and so are my toes! I keep trying to call to see if they'd be will to do a refund or just so they can be aware of this and fix for future, but the line is always busy!

    Stopped into Royal Nails for a treat myself day and although they were busy, they were able to fit me in for a spa pedicure immediately with no wait. My nail tech was so friendly and did a superior job. They do charge extra for gel ($25) which is ok because it lasts so much longer in between. She also gave me a cute design on my toes which was really sweet. They are quick but don't rush you, which I love. Royal Nails is located in Kapolei Commons. Ample parking and tons of shopping and restaurants nearby.

    This review is a couple years late, I wish I could gate keep my nail lady but I think she deserves all the recognition. (Plus I'm planning on seeing her really soon for this upcoming CNY). Last chinese new years celebration I really wanted "jade nails". My nail lady - Kim (Ugh i love her please dont over book her and save me a spot lol) really popped off and brought my nails to lyphe (see pics attached) it looks like real jade growing out of my fingers. will be booking with kimmy again real soon

    Well, the holidays are over and today was the day to finally relax ,unwind and get my manicure & pedicure done. I've been to Royal Nails Salon a bunch of times now and the technicians there always give great friendly service and pay attention to your needs. Love the foot massage and hot water spa soak. The massage chair.. also a plus for a needed back massage and I usually run it twice! They provide all the services like other nail salons, walk-ins are welcomed and parking is abundant. Located in the Kapolei Commons Shopping Center. Such a happy camper, my cat eye nails look awesome! Thanks Cathy!!

    Only a few days from getting a resin fill and they are lifting .

    Came in to do my nails on a Monday and by Friday that same week my nails were lifting . I paid 65$$ for a resin fill and normally they last me a month but this set only last me a few days . I went back to get it fixed and they couldn't take me as a walk-in. Had to make an appointment for 2 days later . I would not recommend this place , I am taking the lost and going to try another place to fix my nails .

    Acrylic Nail Removal. In my last visit, I got acrylic nails and the service was amazing. The gentleman who did my nails suggested once my natural nails grow to the length that I wanted, I should come back to get the acrylic nail removed without losing the desired length. Came back almost a month later to asked for acrylic nail removal service. The nail tech Kim started by asking if I was going to get any other services. I.e. add more acrylic or do a manicure. I informed her that it's just the removal and she proceeded to soak my right hand in some type of solution. Then she immediately started removing the acrylic nails from my left hand, without it being soaked, by RIPPING them off. The very first nail (thumb) was ripped off and took a good layer and length off of my natural nail. As she continued with the rest of my nails on the left, my right hand was still being soaked. If I had known that this was how they remove nails, by simply ripping and damaging the natural nails, I would have done it myself. I've never had a bad experience at Royal nails before, but service tech Kim gave such bad experience that it reflects poorly on the nail salon itself. She didn't seem like she was quite happy that I was just getting a simple acrylic removal. It felt that if I were to have gotten other services like a manicure, then maybe her service would've been a little decent.

    $200 for pedicure and nails. They charge tax. Be mindful if you don't want to pay that much.

    When I called to discuss this directly, the tone of the conversation was very different from what's…read morebeing presented here. It felt short and dismissive. During that call, I stated that I was willing to provide medical documentation regarding the pink eye diagnosis, and that offer was not welcomed at the time. So it's confusing to now see that documentation is being requested publicly. The photo attached to my original review was taken immediately after the service. In that image, you can see that some lashes were not properly isolated and several were not lifted upward evenly. Additionally, the rods were in place for the duration of the 1.5-hour appointment while the facial, dermaplaning, and extractions were being performed. I understand policies exist, but the experience itself, both during the service and in the follow-up communication, is why I felt compelled to leave my review. Clients deserve to feel heard and taken seriously, especially when a medical issue follows a treatment. Ultimately, based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this business.

Hair removal means hair removal. That's way too much money for hair to still be left and eyebrows to be two different shapes. The artist I requested online wasn't the artist I got. Would have given 2 stars but the receptionist was so sweet and helpful. She would be the reason I come back but I'll stick to a place that's cheaper and gets all the hair. Places was super clean and nice inside just the service wasn't the best for eyebrow & lip waxing.

The technician who worked on me this time is the same person who gave me a terrible manicure about 1.5 years ago, after which I swore I wouldn't return. I only came back because I was desperate to remove badly chipped gel polish and hoped things had changed. They hadn't. Gel removal: Instead of soaking and gently scraping off the gel, he used an electric buffer to grind it off, which is exactly what he did last time as well. This is aggressive, unnecessary, and extremely irritating--especially since soaking with acetone had already been done. "Deluxe" manicure issues: The deluxe manicure was supposed to include: * Sugar scrub * Mask & hot towel However, he applied the sugar scrub and the mask at the same time, wrapped my arms, and then left to smoke a cigarette outside while I sat there. My arms were burning and uncomfortable the entire time. In every deluxe manicure or pedicure I've ever had elsewhere, the process is: 1. Sugar scrub 2. Rinse or wipe clean 3. Then apply the mask to clean skin 4. Wrap in warm towels 5. Remove and continue treatment That did not happen here. Applying scrub and mask together makes no sense and defeats the purpose of both. Bottom line: This was rushed, improperly performed, and uncomfortable. I gave this place a second chance after a bad experience years ago, and I regret it. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this salon--especially for gel services or deluxe treatments.
