The owner is very sweet and responsive. This place is by appointment only but theyre usually 7-10 days booked out. Keep that in mind if youre having a nail emergency! read more

Yoshino is very nice n polite lady. I liked her work too. But price was a bit high. I had regular pedicure $70, Gel X $120 and french $5x10=$50 total $240 plus tax n tips, it was over $300. For me it's over price. read more

Yoshino Nail - So dainty and girly - Eyelash Service Near Me

I just had an acrylic fill and pedicure with YOSHINO I am a perfectionist and her work is perfect! She is very, very kind and accommodating. I was lucky enough to get a next day appointment, but she usually is booked. The salon is not lavish, but it is very very clean. She apparently does a lot of gel nails. She had gel nails on herself and they were gorgeous. I had a little bit of a time constraint and she accommodated it perfectly. It is in the Billy fong salon and he was very, very nice. I would highly recommend her to anyone!. read more

You might want to make an appointment ahead of time since she is busy. Over all I love how Yoshino turned my nails polished and clean, I also lover her nail art. read more

I love Yoshino! Her nail styles are thee cutest and they last over a month when I got gel x done on my nails. She even added a little gem to my nails which was soooop cute. Highly recommend Yoshino for nails! read more

Yoshino is amazing !! She did my nails and did everything I asked ! She's also so sweet ! I'll keep coming back !!! Thank you Yoshino

Yoshino is a talented and thoughtful nail designer, it's my luck to find her. It's a impulsive decision so I thought I might not have enough time to do it. But she patiently asked for my schedule and tried her best to comply with my schedule (an 8am early morning appointment for nails)! And she's so talented with design. I told her I want something Hawaiian style, maybe ocean and wave, and also I'll go to the mermaid cave today, the bang! I got a this bling bling ocean-like mermaid style! Highly recommend this talented and thoughtful designer, Yoshino. read more

Loved my experience with Yoshino! I sat in a recliner with soft pillows while she did my pedicure. The quality of my gel manicure is top-notch! The customer service is excellent as well. Yoshino is thorough, caring, and professional. Ill never go to one of those larger nail salons where Ive often felt as if they were trying to get in as many customers as they can in the least amount of time. I am so happy I found Yoshino Nail. Ive already my appointment for next month. read more

My nails have been healthy and long since I began seeing Yoshino for my gel manicure . Nails are strong and perfectly shaped , never sore like other salon experience . She is quick to respond to my appointment request and is very fairly priced so that I can be consistent with my nails . She is wonderful ! Mahalo read more

Yoshino is a sweetheart and did such a great job! Thank you for the wonderful manicure ~*

I'm in town for a couple of weeks and I needed my feet done since I didn't have time before I left. Stopped in for a pedicure and gel nails. I submitted to the upsell by Sue (glad I did) and got their luxury package, and I was very happy that I did. The care to my feet and the massage was worth it, left me very relaxed, Sue knows how to massage the tension from your feel & legs! I also got a arm and hand massage due to some extra time I had on hand, and again very much worth it. Space is pleasant, equipment used is new/sanitary. The massage chairs, which are typical in nail salons, have a little bit to be desired (though I am spoiled because I have a better one of my own)...the first chair I sat in wasn't working but Sue very nicely moved me to the next chair. This is right off of Waikiki Beach, easy access and pleasant atmosphere. read more

She's the sweetest and her service is amazing. We will be returning next time we are on island. Thank you, Yoshi! We love you! Mahalo read more

Beautiful nails! Therapeutic massage and much needed "clean up"! Yoshi was an Angel and artist! Thank you Yoshi! read more

The nail itself was ok (she didn't soak me in warm water for medi, nor did she clean the pedi as any normal pedi Solon). The location is difficult to find also- it's behind the parking lot of the First Hawaii Bank, in the parking lot. But yoshino herself is SO NICE and accommodating. But just be prepared for an OK medi-pedi experience. Much love though! read more

Yoshino is the best! She has moved locations since I have last visited her, but she is still as fabulous as ever. She is so incredibly sweet, and a truly gifted nail artist. I was lucky enough to catch her on a day where another customer had canceled. She's very busy, as she is a popular nail artist in Honolulu. Be sure to schedule ahead of time with her. Each time I have had my gel nails done by her they last forever. By that I mean the quality of gel itself, design and color completely stay intact. If you are interested in a certain design, bring in a photo and she will work with you to make sure you are happy. She's very talented and is able to do a lot of great designs! I recommend her to everyone, do yourself a favor and try her out!:) read more

This review is WAAAAAAY PAST DUE for how long I've been seeing Yoshino (almost 2 years now, and I've been doing my nails since 06? you name it, pedis, manis, acrylic, cal gel, gelish) for my nails, and the quality of service she gives. Honestly, it was hard for me to write this because there are so many things i want to say without this turning into a novel. Let's get straight to the point about a few things that I think are important: - MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. She's a one woman show, who gets booked fast. I sometimes book a MONTH in advance, if I know I have a specific event coming up, or.. I know my feet will be ratchet by then. - PARKING. I'm gonna admit, I'm not a fan of the parking situation.. BUT the salon (SANCTUARY SALON) located near a residential area where there is A LOT of parking so it's only a few minute walk away. And come on now, who doesn't need a little exercise in their life (; I'd walk 7 minutes for you YOSHINOsan! - QUALITY. Yoshino gives HIGH QUALITY work whether it's a basic pedi, mani, full set, and full bling. If you can, try to specify what kind of services you are wanting to do so she can book out the time accordingly (e.g. pedi and mani, gel removal, nail art), you can even ask her how long and she could probably give you an approx time, so you can plan your day. SIDENOTE: I use my feet A LOT. so instead of just a basic pedi, i go all out with the gel and although it costs a little more, it lasts a long time. if you're gonna take the time to get your nails done, at least get them done right the first time and have them last longer than just the basic. - COMFORT. I should've made this #1 on my list, but I'm too lazy to edit. Yoshino makes me feel comfortable. Granted she's the only person in the "working area" I don't feel she is judging my nasty feet, and the fact I'm here ONLY to get a pedicure (which I've felt in other salons). She's always been welcoming & accomodating to my hectic schedule. THANK YOU YOSHINO FOR ALWAYS TAKING CARE!! Oh BTW; best part (IMO) is that she is an awesome texter! texting for me has been the most convenient way for me to contact anyone for anything, and this makes it easier for me to book appointments with her ^-^b read more

I got my lashes done with Yoshi. I absolutely LOVE them!! Yoshi is super sweet and accommodating. I was so comfortable in her chair too, I fell right asleep! I definitely recommend her. read more

Had a lash situation from another salon that I was not happy with- came in on a friend's recommendation-got a great set of whispy natural pretty lashes! Application was quick too! Will be back read more

I absolutely lovee how my nails turned out! Yoshino is super sweet and after I showed her a Pinterest picture, she made my nails look even better than the photo :) She is very detailed and took the time to make my gel nails a little thicker so they last longer. It probably took about an hr or so to finish my nails. Starting price for gel is $45 and with my full design came out to $70 without tip. So worth it! I called yesterday and she kindly squeezed me in today. She has a section in a salon so she can only take one client at a time, that's why it's appointment only. The salon was clean, as was Yoshino's station, and since my appointment was at 5:30pm it wasn't noisy or anything in there. For parking, there's a gas station to the right of the First Hawaiian parking lot. Turn in there and behind the building to the left of the gas station, there are reserved spots for the salon. Walk up the stairs and the salon is up there. I would definitely recommend her to friends! read more

Yoshino Nail - Eyelash Service Near Me

1 lady shop, hence the name, Yoshino :) I have to say her work is truly fine art. If you want to have your nails done by someone who takes pride in what they do, takes time and pays attention to detail, Yoshino is a place for your nails. Although, Appointment only. I messaged her on Yelp and she responses quickly within the same day. -Note: this review is for Manicure only- Location- Inside Sanctuary Salon. The small 2 story building between the gas station and First Hawaiian bank. It's not store front facing the street, but behind the building. Easy way is entering thru First Hawaiian bank parking lot and make a right turn exiting the parking lot, then turn right and immediately you'll see the salon on the 2nd level of the building. Only a few parking parking spaces but street metered parking is available too. Upon entering the salon she's on the left side behind a wall. A Small setup area just for her. Manicure is what my daughter and I came in for. My daughter got the acrylic set with designs. Since we both had Gel nail polishes already, that took a little more time than expected to remove, given, 1 lady shop. Her acrylic she uses is the powder type, not the preshape glue on nails types like most Nail salon uses. She molds and shape the way you want it. So actually it doesn't look like acrylic nails. Anyways we had found designs on pinterest and texted it to her so she can try replicate it. I'm very satisfied with results and service, but why I didnt give this 5 stars? Well in the mist of things and the pressure of her needing to be somewhere after our appointment, she forgotten to do the basic manicure, you know the clean up, like removal of cuticles, softening skin etc. I kind of expect it. Cuz my cuticles needed cutting. Minor yes, so it's no biggy since we left very pleased with our painted nails 8D Price? Well, you get what you pay for. Our designs was on spot so the price was ok with me. Let's say I spent at least 1 months worth of my daily coffee run to the coffee bean. Lol Would I come back? Of course..I would! read more

Yoshino is super sweet and funny. I use Japanese gel and explained that in my job I wash my hands a lot so she made my polish extra thick so my nails are more sturdy. It lasted 4 weeks without lifting! She's my new favorite nail technician read more

Yoshi is the best! She is so sweet and puts so much love and attention into her work. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her, you will love the foot massage and the mani / pedi is perfect! read more

I had gel nail manicure and pedicure and I couldn't be more pleased. Yoshino is lovely, kind, talented and her work area is immaculate. There is a large selection of colors -- plus, nice music and a comfortable environment. Her hand massage is awesome. A first visit might seem difficult to find, but don't despair. The location is in the second story suite of a building located immediately behind the storefront. The name on the door is Sanctuary Salon. There is ample, free, designated, off-street parking behind the building as well. The building is between the bank and the gas station, off what appears to be a side-street running parallel to the street address. To the best of my knowledge, there is no elevator to the suite -- just a stairway. It's worth the climb to reach Yoshino! You won't be sorry you did. read more

Second time coming to this salon & I'm super happy and satisfied with my lashes! Yoshino is amazing! The sweetest and most accommodating person ever! Always enjoyed her company & her work! :) read more

Yoshino is amazing! She put so much care and attention in to every detail. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she didn't mind my tedious design or changes to the design. She worked quickly and efficiently but not rushing to finish. She's very polite and funny. Not pushy or anything which I was nervous about because in other hail or nail salons I've had bad experiences with them not listening to what I want. She worked with me to make sure I was happy with the outcome. 10/10 would recommend! Plus the hair salon she works in has a great atmosphere. There's a cute doggie here and she even offered me and my friend coffee or water. read more

Yoshino Nail - I saw this review Nice!! - Eyelash Service Near Me

See all

I've heard a lot of great things about Yoshino from local friends and from yelp, and everything was true. I came in wanting to do something crazy and fun and we ended up doing a Hawaiian rainbow mani pedi in gel. As others have mentioned, she does not rush, and does not use techniques that damage your nails. Removing previous gel was not done with any harsh sanding device, but rather patiently by coating fingernails with tissue dipped in acetone. She's a true artist, and both manicure and pedicure have held up for weeks looking beautiful even with a lot of activity. Wonderful nail artist would absolutely recommend. read more

Yoshino Nail - Nails by Yoshino! Grab life by the lilikoi. - Eyelash Service Near Me

First the salon didn't show the name shown here on the outside and no one answered the phone to ask. Once we found the place, she was late AND I have never had a messier pedicure. I chose a white polish and it wasn't done well and it was the most expensive pedicure I've ever had!! Then the manicure... bubbles everywhere and chipped within an hour of leaving! read more

I've been going to Yoshino over 3 years doing my Mani and Pedi...she does an awesome work....very friendly and professional...now she does my lashes and it's been almost 2 years...I love it...go see Yoshino if you want good quality work! read more

Yoshino is the best! She always puts customer service first and is very very nice :) I always recommend her whenever people ask where I get my nails done. I love my glittery nails and Japanese designs which she is very amazing at. Another thing I love is that she takes a lot of time with her techniques and is very detail oriented. It is always best to make an appointment instead of doing a walk in ... since she runs an independent salon. It's conveniently located in Sanctuary Salon so I can do my hair and nails in the same place :) read more

Yoshino was very sweet and did a lovely job with my nails. For first-timers, if you go to 415 Kapahulu, go around to the back of the building and up the stairs. Yoshino is the first door at the top of the stairs. She was right there to let me in. She made me very comfortable, the salon is nice and she had great music on. A relaxing, nice experience. Thank you Yoshino! read more

Yoshino is awesome! She is so maticulate and does an amazing job. I get my nails wet a lot being a hairstylist and a mother of two little girls constantly washing my hands. I've never had my nails last this long! Save yourself some money and try Yoshino, you'll never regret it. read more
