    It was my first time there and I loved it ! They take their time and I got exactly what I asked for ! The one who did my manicure was name Jessica! She's so nice and amazing. Definitely going back

    This is my second time coming here to Simple Nails! I went to Jessica and i think i'll be going to her from now on! She took her time and always asked me whether or not i was okay with my set as she was doing it! I appreciated that! They all wore masks, checked temperature and you have to sign a waiver when you go in! I think they should wear gloves when working but i can also see how that might not be the best for their work but then again i dont know. Overall, great experience!

    I am not one to blast on yelp but when I have a reason to, I will. When I moved to Kaneohe in 2013, I started to go all the way to Waipahu or certain salons in Kaneohe to do my nails because I expect good quality and durability. Since I moved back home to Waimanalo in 2020, I've been doing my pedicures at Simple Nails out of convenience and I've continued to go to Kaneohe or Waipahu for full sets so I'm very familiar with how to care for my nails and how long they should last and how durable they should be when done well. My sister and I did a full gel set here on 11/27 as a bonding thing for our grandmother's funeral last week since we are both from Waimanalo and this spot was where we always came growing up when it first opened and throughout the years as the owners and names changed until I moved of Nalo. My sister started her set before me but somehow I finished before her which I thought was odd but assumed that maybe she was just talking more than I was. About a week after, the top layer of the polish on my thumb and index finger nails started peeling and chipping and I thought it would be okay until I filled them in a couple weeks but it got worst over the past day. My thumb nail, where it started to chip is now cracking. My index finger nail completed teared off this morning, where the chipping and peeling started, when I turned the key in my ignition. Called to talk to the technicians where I typically go and they informed me that I should go back and talk to Simple Nails because my polish shouldn't peel off like that and it was likely not cured correctly and the polish may have been applied too thickly and didn't set correctly and it likely teared because it was too thin after it chipped. Called and talked to one of the staff at Simple Nails and she told me she will not fix it free of charge because it's been longer than a week and she doesn't know how often I wash my hands and how I care for my nails. I explained what the other technician said and informed her that this has never happened to me before and she again said that there's nothing she can do and I can get it repaired but I would have to pay full cost. I paid $S65 for this set with nothing special other than 2 simple accent nails and asked her why I should come back to pay when they didn't do it good the first time. She apologized and said that she can't do anything past a week and can't be sure how often I wash my hands. Thanked her and still was very respectful however I would not recommend this place because of my experience, the lack of accountability and just poor quality. My sister's nails are still fully in tact and her technician likely didn't rush through for her like mines did. Unfortunately, because of this incident, I will not be going here anymore not even for pedicures. They recently had a price increase as well and I understand inflation but it should never be at the cost of quality and customer service.

    Just did a walk in for a full set acrylic it was slow and I got taken in quick and fast just did simple blue nails loved it thank you

    Gel manicure

    This establishment just changed owners and name but it's still a great place. Yesterday I had gotten a pedicure and after I left in my great fashion I ruined them. Today I came in to get a manicure and they did a great job. Then I asked if they could just fix my one toe that was more ruined then the others. The guy who had done them the day before said he would fix it and instead of just fixing the one he had redone the whole paint job and was so so kind about it! I was expecting to have a small fee but he did it for free! I tipped him and he genuinely refused. But I have it anyways! This is a great place! It's not crazy fancy but it's good people who do a good job! I've only had minor issues before but they've always jumped at working it out! Great people!

    I got my nails done 4 weeks ago, and although there is nail growth, they still look great. I recommend them highly

    Jessica took me in as soon as I called! She was extremely thorough and works wonders with glitter

    Well I've lived 2 min up the street all my life and usually go to a nail salon in town close to where I work but with covid and the state only now opening up my regular spot is very popular and unfortunately is booked out for weeks... it's hard to find someone to take care of my mani/pedi with a gentle thorough hand but I was recommended by a child hood friend to give our hometown spot a try so I did and was pleasantly surprised by Thuy and Rose who performed the service. She was gentle and thorough and took her time removing the last gel set, performing the pedi, sloughing, scrub, hot stone massage and with my sensitive feet n legs she was patient all the way through to putting on the new gel set! Absolutely loooved it! I see that they also have other services I go to other spots for like lashes, facial, waxing etc... might give it a try!Now that I work from home in the meanwhile after Covid I can easily stop here in between jobs... the convenience, level of service and price are hard to beat! I love being able to roll up and get immediate quality service with a welcoming smile! Thank you!

    Acrylic nails

    I went to get my acrylic nails fixed from another nail salon, and they did a beautiful job fixing her right up. She asked me questions of what was wrong and how could they fix it. She was gentle and nice and made sure it was what I wanted. And made me feel a lot better. Can count on them to do beautiful nails!

Since this was decided overnight we didn't give them any warning. But they took it in stride. There were three customers there when 5 of us arrived between 9-9:30. There were four girlies getting pedicures, one set of acrylic nails and one gel manicure. We all walked out the door around 11:30am. I think this is spectacular timing which included a few other customers entering for services who weren't turned away and thrown right into the rotation. Personally I got my gel off and regular nail polish on my nails. A week later and they are still looking good. No chips! Everything I encountered was clean and sanitary. They also lent us a cart so we could set out some breakfast treats for our little party. I recommend this gem of a business and maybe we will give them a heads up next time!

    I heard about Vicky through a friend of mines, so I figured it would be fun to have a family…read moresession at Serendipity. Me and my hubby got a spa pedicure and my daughter wanted a gel nails treatment. Vicky is totally sweet, she makes you feel very comfortable and at home. She started in nails because she personally loved doing nail art herself. So she went to school and got her licenses. As you know, the people who truly love what they do, do the best work...so we were happy to stumble on Vicky. My hubby had really rough feet since forever. As you can see in the before and after pic of my hubby's feet...Vicky did an thorough job of getting the dead skin and "crust" off his feet. Since we did the spa pedi, her short foot massage was sooooo nice. My hubby said his feet felt so nice and clean after the spa pedi, he wants to get them regularly now. I enjoyed my spa pedi as well...my favorite part was the foot massage...it was so nice and she even gives each toe a little massage treatment. At the end, she puts on a protective cuticle oil on each nail. I was always really wearily of getting pedicures because I've heard horror stories of people getting fungus or some bacteria or something after getting a pedi. What was really nice about Vicky's set up is that the water is always changed and clean so there's no chance of ever catching anything. The massage chairs with the fancy water jets is hard to be FULLY cleaned because they would have to take apart everything to fully clean inside the jets. So even though Vicky doesn't have the fancy jets, I'll take that any day over a potential fungal problem. My daughter loved having her nails done. Vicky can do the fancy gel nails and took the time to make it so pretty and cute. My daughter wanted a watermelon on her nail, so Vicky took the time to draw them for her. She even put shiny foil on my daughters nails and she loved how they shine in the sun. I thought it was so amazing that she could draw stuff on those tiny nails. The only downside is that she's a "one man band", so we had to take turns getting our nail treatment done. It wasn't a big deal for us because we had fun talking to Vicky, but if you have a huge group party with tons of people looking to finish in 1 hr...this isn't the place for you. Overall, we had a great time with Vicky and all enjoyed her treatments. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a nail job.

    DO NOT waste your time if you are looking for an actual massage. I went to get Foot Reflexology…read more As a retired LMT and former instructor - I know a thing or two. I booked 90 mins hoping for some work on my hands, arms, neck and shoulders before a 1 hour on my feet (reflexology). The guy who worked the front desk told me I was getting 60 min massage and 30 min feet. I told him NO - I wanted 60 min reflexology and 30 mins whatever - just no back massage. I even suggested changing to 60 mins. He took me to a massage room and told me to undress and get under the sheet face down. I told him I just wanted feet. (I was expecting a recliner and a foot bath). I didn't argue - and my "therapist" came in. She was young but spoke good English. She started on my shoulders - and the first tip off was the fact that she had long pointed nails. (no licensed educated massage therapist has long nails) She proceeded to do forearm massage on my upper spine - going over and over the spinal cord (ouch!) I finally asked her to move somewhere else. I said I loved scalp massage - I swear she used one hand and did the same motion for 10 mins (probably looking at her phone) I made it clear that it was not enjoyable. She begrudgingly moved on to my feet. She put a bolster under my ankles in order to work on my feet. (Total rookie move) I asked for a bolster under my knees to support my back. She begrudgingly brought me a pillow. The foot massage was so bad to start. Again - one movement for like 10 mins - same spot. I swear she was on her phone. When I mentioned the lack of variety - she said she had to kill time somehow bc I asked for 60 mins of foot massage. YIKES. She got a little better - but not much. I asked her to just stop bc it was hands down the worst massage / foot reflexology Ive ever experienced. (I did not tell her that) I asked her to finish by doing my hands and arms just to get her to do something else. Not much better. I was never so happy for a session to end. Worst $110 and 90 mins spent - wasted! When she was done she said - "all done" and walked out. I was ready to talk to the front desk guy and tell him it was a bad session - but she was at the desk to check me out. I casually asked her about her training and asked how long she had been licensed and how long she had been doing massage. She said she had gone to school for 3 year to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine and massage. (she did have a couple of Tui Na moves - but they were very basic) I DO NOT recommend anyone to get a massage at this place. My guess is there is a different clientele they are looking to "service" but I have no proof.

Her body of work compared to other lash artists, just speaks for itself! - She's the best! Even if there was anything negative to say, it would be all canceled out by Paula's impeccable attention to detail and her customer service. Paula is friendly, calm, knowledgeable and approachable. Shes the kind of person that will notice when you're having anxiety; she will talk you through it and when she sees you're getting cold, she will offer a blanket.
