Kristie H.

This may have been the worst manicure I've ever had. My technician nicked two of my fingers (my left middle finger and my right pinky) and did not address it. The polish was chunky and my technician let it flood a couple of my cuticles. She filed my nails unevenly --- the photos attached were AFTER i filed them myself to try and even out the shape. I usually don't leave reviews but I feel compelled to share just to warn others who don't want to waste their hard earned money on a subpar manicure. I would have spoken up, however I felt bad and nevertheless tipped 20%. There are better salons that are worth your money. EDITED: the photos attached are from one day after I got my nails done here. EDITED 4/2: in response to An's comment, I've added a photo of the credit card charge from my visit here to validate that I was indeed a customer here on 3/26/26. The initial reservation was under Deven via a phone call, and I checked in at the salon with my phone number. I do not wish to provide private information like my phone number on a public app. Also attaching better photos of the polish quality.

Edit: Anna called apologizing said it was a miscommunication on their part. And will gladly redo my nails. I will re-schedule it later. So I went in for my birthday nails with 3D shell art in mind....like the pictures they have scrolling through their front desk TV screen. I wanted cat eye with 2 fingers in each side with 3-D art. The cat eye...done beautifully. The shell not so much. I was not happy...I tipped full 20% and left...I called later to tell them that I just wanted it redone...the one finger. They said no problem...come in anytime. I said I can not make it today (Friday). She said ok sat..:I said MAYBEI can but would be after 2pm as I work, she said ok no problem. They will be there. I could not make it. It thought ok...i did not make an appointment officially...so why call. I come in Monday...hoping to get it fixed. She said ok, no problem but I had to wait 30mins til one person was freed up. I waited and stepped out for 6 mins and when I came back she was in to the next person. I understand taking the business first before the mess up/fix but you could have told me before hand...maybe not today?! Not proceed to tell me and side eye you client about how I did not show up when I called...when I clearly said I could not. And that maybe I can in sat but not sure. The attitude was not necessary. Please check out the 3-D shell picture for reference...would you be happy with $20 cat eye, $10 chrome and $10 3-D shell art...with what they gave me? The original nail tech...very nice. The lady that I spoke to today...yeah not so much.

Tap gel two color ombré grow out

Very sad to downgrade my review but after three consecutive times I'm no longer coming back. They do not respect your time. I make appointments for a specific time and have to wait 45-60 minutes after my appointment time to finally get seen. I'm super disappointed. If you value your time, do not make an appointment here. They do not respect your appointment time, no call to update this and expect you to wait around for an hour. The first time I booked a pedi and Mani which is usually done at the same time. For some reason, they made me do the pedi first and I could not spend 2 hours here to do the mani after. The second, Rose was starting on another customer when I came for my appointment time. I had to wait an hour to be seen. The third time, Rose was just taking off gel polish from a customer so I knew it would be awhile since she just started on her. They said I could go with someone else but couldn't tell me a time either. I left because I had a meeting and my son with me. So disappointed they have no respect for people's time. I made an appointment. I was not a walk-in which I could understand having to wait. Strike 3 on them double booking my time slot so I need to find another place. Also a little regretful I always tipped more than 20% without the return of consideration and loyalty.

Had an excellent experience at Serene nails when taking my daughter and her best friend there for manicures. The salon was so welcoming and kind and they did an excellent job on our nails.

It is always so pleasant. The second I walk in through the door. Although I don't get my nails done often but it is such a nice touch that Wendy and Ann we normally do see always remember me and call me by my first name. The salon is always clean and tidy. The work is always quality and they always have the best suggestions for what would look best on my nails.

Customer service 10/10 Ann was nice enough to call me and let me know she had to leave early so someone else was going to do my nails. I didn't mind as I going Ann recommended on ig @ yelp. When I came in they greeted me and again Ann apologized and introduced me to Tiffany. Tiffany was 10/10 ! I love my nails! She was fast but results were on point ! She didn't hurt me lol Conveniently located next to Thai issan ! Win win! Clean salon ! Pedicures are hidden in the back which I like. Also I love when the give me the price up front !

I religiously come here to get my nails done whenever I'm in Oahu (about every 3-6 months) because the attention to detail is unmatched. And I can absolutely tell how much they care when I get my nails done. Love going here! Highly recommend Lia and Hannah to do your nails.

I love the fact that I could book it online. Very convenient. They are located in market city next to foodland. Parking is hit or miss it can get pretty busy. I was getting my nails done for my trip to Bali. My mistake was that it was also prom season when I went so I waited a little bit. It was interesting that the nail tech only cut off the tips of my nails because it eventually separated and I ended up having gaps between my nail and the acrylic one that she glued on and food was getting stuck which was really annoying. She did accidentally cut me from her tool when she was shaving it down. Which is the reason for my 4 stars. But I do have to admit they barely lifted after almost a month especially when the last nail place blamed my nails lifting was from washing my hands. Mine came out to $95 without tip.

Today was my second time at Serene Nails (formerly Adore Nail and Hair.) An and her team are friendly, do a great job, are very detailed, and take time to make your nails look pretty! Both times I got Powder Dipped nails, which I love! I also recommend their Deluxe pedicure. It comes with a stone massage on your legs which felt so good! Prices are very reasonable which is also a big plus! **They used to have a hair salon but not anymore. **

Dipped ombré nails
Leighanna K.

Had the super deluxe pedi and a dipped ombré manicure. The service was good and very attentive to detail. I love the dip and will definitely be back!

Gel extensions

Saw this place in passing and loved their IG so I booked right away. - Online booking makes the appointment process so easy. I got a text to confirm my appointment and provided a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it lol! - I arrived early to my appointment and was greeted and checked in easy on the electronic pad to get points. - Nina let me select my color and glitter preference. My appointment was at 1:00 pm and I finished at 2:30 pm which in my experience is very fast. She was also very gentle and very nice. Paying $75 for the basic manicure and gel extensions is such a good price too. In conclusion, the atmosphere there is very clean and welcoming, the price is great and quality is 5 stars! I am definitely coming back!!

Very excited to digest extra stuff ... without telling you it'll be extra. "Oh...can I put a flower on one of your nails?" Both ring fingers done ... $25 extra on the tab when checking out. That was by wife. I was talked into a foot rub. As my feet soaked, the sweet woman bright a pedicure tray over. I had to deny three offers to just let her clip my already short nails. Then she proceeded to give a foot rub which consisted of running her thumbs and forefingers along my lower leg bones for 30 minutes. She also gave me a run down on her family and asked multiple questions about how long I was staying and where and what I did for a living. My entire mission while in that chair was to not cry or flinch. When she was done, I felt comfortable concluding she had not one single day of training in massage therapy. My bill was $60. My wife's was $42 for gel plus $25 for two flowers. All in all, we left laughing (and limping), but $150 lighter than when we went in.

I have been going to Shoko for my eye brows for a couple years now, and always recommend her to friends and family for many reasons. I have gotten my eyebrows done by others *ahem* that didn't know what the heck they were doing. I literally have walked out with 4 eye brows instead of 2 because they burned and pulled my skin off with the wax. Shoko has never gave me more eye brows that I wanted. Shoko makes me feel comfortable with all the options I could do with my eye brows. Eye brows are so important, it could make or break your face. Shoko always succeeds at making me look as natural as possible, which is the style I like. She even allowed me to bring my child with me because I don't have any child care help currently. That means the world to me as a new mom.

She took her time, payed attention to detail, informed me on her products before hand, asked me health related questions to insure my safety, guided me through the waxing , and made sure I was happy before getting up. I left feeling super relaxed and so confident about how good my eyelashes and brows turned out!! I will be flying from Maui to Oahu just to see Shoko!
