    Newly renovated and more polish to choose from.

    A collective of very talented nail artists with great customer service and outstanding prices! Come see Amy, she has done some really beautiful free hand painted designs for me and last a long time. I work as a bartender and so most the time nails don't last long but not when you come to see Amy.

    Today is my birthday, my friend and I came here to experience but the result was surprisingly beyond expectations. The quality is excellent, the staff is friendly and professional, they invited us to drink water and talked happily. 5 stars for smiley nails. We will definitely come back and recommend it to our friends.

    Love my new nails! Amy is amazing! I always leave with perfect nails! Best service and salon!

    wonderful service from Kelly. she did my mani and pedi so well. She's so sweet. I love how fast it was done and the color she put on.

    Got my nails done today with Amy, she is excellent! Salon is clean, everyone there is so friendly! 10 out of 10, best nail salon in Kaimuki, highly recommended!

    Excellent service, very clean Environment. Excellent service! I love the smile and will return again.

    Nails done by Amy. She did a wonderful job from a picture I brought in with me.  I didn't want an exact duplicate,  just the same vibe.

    Great service. They always try to accommodate your needs. See Amy for great service!

    Went for my first time and was very impressed they could take a walk in that day…read more I loved how small and relaxed the salon felt. My lady did amazing work and will definitely be back.

    I'm very sad to write this review. I truly dislike writing about my negative experiences…read more My nail tech was pretty rough and would turn my hand and fingers without a word into awkward positions and her nails would dig into my fingers. I thought she did an ok job, but a couple days after getting dip powder done my pink nails started fading into clear and white ish almost tie dye colors. The salon didn't feel clean or comfortable either. Parking was really hard to find too. It was my first time here and as I paid they said I had to leave a tip in cash. I told them I didn't have any cash and that I didn't know they only took cash. It was awkward and a bit stressful since of the language barrier my nail tech didn't fully understand. I asked if she could do Zelle or Apple Pay. They said no. And I said I'm sorry. But it felt like they wouldn't let me leave until I left a tip. So another nail tech got involved and it was like a 3 way award tension or none of us knowing what to do. Eventually I felt like I had to find a way to tip so another nail tech eventually had me Apple Pay her. Both the nail tech were not thankful for my cooperation and just visually looked annoyed and frustrated at me. But I truly felt very pressured and uncomfortable by this. If they require a tip and require a cash tip they should have explicitly put that in the booking instructions and notified me before confirming the appointment. I really didn't like this experience overall and especially didn't like feeling like I was corned and couldn't leave until a tip. It was a really disappointing first experience of getting my nails done here.

As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted and as luck should have it, there was an open chair, without an appointment. The salon is bright, beautiful, and clean. They have seven comfortable pedi chairs and they even have privacy curtains in between each pedi chair, if you wish. While the massage chair is on, sit back and enjoy watching their big screen tv. It was Vietnamese street food while I was getting pampered. They have an incredible selection of polish colors to choose from. I especially appreciate that this salon uses a new bowl bag with each customer. I absolutely loved the Vegan Clean Spa Pedi. Thank you Hannah!

    I've been a client of Diana's for about 4 years, and I can honestly say I wouldn't trust anyone…read moreelse with my nails! Diana is incredibly talented, but what truly sets her apart is her knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to take exactly what I have pictured in my head and bring it to life on my nails. No matter how specific, unique, or sometimes crazy my design request may be, she always understands exactly what I'm asking for and somehow makes it even better than I imagined! But over these four years, Diana has become so much more than my nail technician. She has become a genuine friend. She takes the time to care for me, we laugh, we talk, we catch up, and every appointment feels like I'm spending time with someone I truly enjoy... not just going to get my nails done.That kind of connection is special. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, creative, attentive, and truly cares about her clients, Diana is your girl! She puts so much pride and love into what she does, and it shows in every set. Diana, thank you for four years of beautiful nails, laughs, conversations, and friendship. I appreciate you more than you know! 5 stars doesn't even feel like enough!

Every time we come, they remember us and attend to us like family. The customer service is phenomenal. And, I appreciate that when something doesn't go right (like I smudge my nails) they always fix it right away without any fuss. Everything is super clean too, which matters a lot to me. We have gone to SEVERAL other shops in Kaimuki but honestly, Top Nails is superior to the others. I'm so grateful we found them.

    Been to gradient nail couple times now each time for pedicure. For the quality of service they…read moreprovide, the prices are reasonable (not cheap but reasonable, especially if you pay cash.) Had different technicians each time. They're all pretty good but for the first time I got Hailey. Wow she is amazing!!! I got the basic pedi ($37) and callus removal ($10). She was very thorough and detail oriented. I opted for no polish this time, and she really did her best to make my nails look as neat as possible. There was so much cuticle and dead skin removed. She also spent a good amount of time on my foot and leg massage. I have nothing but good things to say about her. Next time I'll definitely request her before I come in. The salon space was clean and well-lit. The chairs were massage chairs and they're actually decent, better than a lot of salon massage chairs I tried. I was also offered water. The basic pedicure also included quite a bit of different services and that's just basic, and I think it's more than enough. Parking could be challenging because they only have a few spots right outside the salon as the other stalls are reserved for other businesses. Some signs would specify their hours of operation so if I arrive out of those hours I would just park there. Also Sunday street parking is free. Sometimes they would send random texts for 5% off, and also discounts for birthdays. I mean it's not much but better than nothing. Great spot. I have a nail salon within walking distance from where I live but I'd rather drive to come here. Thanks Hailey!

    It was really easy to make an appointment via text and phone. Initially it was only be for two but…read morethe next morning we added on two more pedicures and they were very accommodating to all the changes! The prices were very reasonable. I paid $75 for my manicure ($25 manicure, $45 gel french tip, $5 nail fix) and my pedicure was $37 for a basic. The new salon is brand new and everything is very clean. Ruby did my pedicure and Alex did my manicure. They were extremely busy while we were there but it seemed like it ran really smoothly. Everyone was pleasant enough but not much talking and it did feel a little rushed at times but also understanding that they were trying to accommodate all 4 of us on short notice. Ruby cut slightly too deep into the side of my left big toe and she apologized but it was very noticeable swollen and painful the next day compared to my other toe so that's not ideal. She was very meticulous with the polish application though! Alex did a great job with my deep french manicure. He was very quick and efficient with putting on an acrylic tip onto my thumb that was shorter than the rest of my nails. He was careful to not have the gel touch my skin and seemed to be the go-to for frenchies. The girl working the front desk didn't seem to be in a good mood. I don't usually mind but she was very short with her responses and not particularly nice or helpful when I asked a few questions regarding the pricing and point system. There is plenty of street parking available and it was easy to find. They're very popular so expect to be a slight wait and it's definitely a more sterile and clinically run salon than a welcoming one. I didn't see anyone with a walk-in so I would always recommend making an appointment!

I looked for a nail salon located close to the UH Manoa campus and came upon Nail Story. Nail Story had great reviews on Yelp and I liked that I could make an appointment online. The prices of the services was also available when you make your appointment. We arrived a little before 5pm and had to wait awhile before a parking spot opened up in the lot. My daughter showed her technician the design and she was quoted an additional amount of $46. The technician then went to work and when it was time to do the design, there was a lot of back and forth as the technician had not done a sunrise shell design before. My daughter wanted it just right and asked her to redo it several times. I was surprised her technician didn't take offense, but also happy that my daughter was making sure she was getting what she wanted. The technician was great and stayed patient as she tried to replicate the design as best as she could. Finally, after what seemed like the fifth time, my daughter gave a big smile of approval. Thank goodness! | was getting hungry! My daughter loves her nails and I also had a great experience with my pedicure.

Walk ins are welcomed here and they are quick to schedule an appointment if you call ahead. There's adequate stalls in the parking lot and they validate your parking stub so be sure to see the lot attendant before you enter the pretty nail salon. On average, there's at least five friendly faces that welcome you. Everytime I've been here, they are expeditious in getting me to a massage chair for pedi pampering. Consistently, the basin is clean and dry with sanitized nail tools opened in front of me. As with any salon, they have a menu of different levels in service. I feel they are reasonably priced and most times I request Deluxe pampering....although I have done the Royal pedi pampering a few times and loved it :) Unlike another nail shop in Kahala by Times who was rough and rude, THIS nail salon is so gentle. The technicians do a great job and I always leave feeling refreshed! The salon is clean, the employees are polite, and I enjoy watching an hour of K-drama on their big TV while being pampered. Thank you so much Nail Story! See you again next month :)
