Ugh feel bad saying this, because this used to be my go-to place and the ladies are nice, but this…read moreplace is not worth it. I came here for years and spent literally thousands, but within the last year or so, the quality just totally dropped. Even when I was going frequently, the quality was inconsistent but had enough positive to keep me coming back, and they have good hours. But now the bad is just too hard to ignore. They don't change gloves, they don't bother to let the water warm up, stopped asking me even what color I wanted or if I liked the shape, sloppy with the edges on polish, too rough on cuticle cutting, uneven shaping, and overbooking. I would always tip $20+ PER technician and was a regular, but it felt like the more I came the shittier the service, like "eh she always comes, she'll be back". eventually got sick of feeling ripped off. There are better places that are same price, or slightly higher for much better service.

This used to be my go-to nail salon when I lived in Mānoa. Unfortunately, I will not return for the…read morefollowing reasons... 1. Cleanliness- they do not use any liners for the spa water that you put your feet in. It's 2023 and this is common practice now. Further the towels that were used were filthy. 2. Upcharge- I get it, with inflation and prices going up it's hard for everyone to survive. Fantastic Nails is $10 cheaper than Mānoa nails for a gel pedi... I'm already paying you $50 for a gel pedi do not ask me three times if I want to upgrade my pedicure. One of the nail technicians was trying to upcharge a woman in her late 70s/80s on a gel manicure. The lady could barely hear/understand her. It was so uncomfortable and relentless. If you are sending your kupuna to this nail salon you better go with them so they don't get ripped off. 3. Service- the girl doing my pedicure cut my big toe and didn't acknowledge it. She also didn't do a massage but that was fine with me because I couldn't wait to get out.

Service - 5 stars Quality- 5 stars…read moreVibe - 5 stars I always feel so welcomed during my visits to A and A nails. I have been visiting this nails salon regularly for the last year and a half now and will likely continue being a loyal customer no matter what part of the island I live. Their prices are reasonable as their pedicures range from $42- $48. They offer a regular pedicure , regular pedicure with callus removal ($42), regular pedicure with jelly ($42) and a deluxe pedicure ($47). I recommend the regular pedicure with jelly because I feel like I'm on a cloud with this treatment! The vibe is hip and very welcome to those who like Korean pop music and other pop music. I highly recommend asking for Vicky. She is so nice and always helpful. I told her one of my nails hurt from possibly an in grown nail and she took care of it right away.

I've been seeing her for some years now, her daughter Lily is working out of another nail salon in town and use to do my manicure/pedicure if her Mom was already booked. She has an eye for detail and will clean up your hands and feet like there's no tomorrow. Lux Nail Salon is pretty on the inside with a few other nail technicians that are also available. Several leather chairs for pedicures. It's a nice quiet atmosphere with comfortable air conditioning. Street metered parking all around the Kakaako area. I haven't quite figured out what would be the best day to visit Ha during her work week. But I'll be back again soon!

However, I got a random lady and she did not say her name when she asked who is getting Tiffany. She legit cut me right when she started with the sand bit taking off my old gel. No apology or anything. Already hella bad start. She was really rough with the cuticles too and then CUT ME AGAIN on the same foot. She also didn't make my Big nail toe even when she trimmed off the length. The vibe was professional and they were nice but next time I'll request for another lady.

I've been going to Carrie for longer than the existence her current location when she had a tiny…read morecorner of a room at Hanalei Salon & Boutique so I may be a bit biased but she is THE best! First off, sanitation is a priority with her. I receive pedicures here regularly and she always uses plastic disposable liners so you know that no one else's stinky gross feet has been in the same bin as yours. It's the jet baths that attract all the bacteria to cause you nail fungus so being the antibacterial gel toting woman that I am, having my own clean liner each time I go is a HUGE plus. Secondly, Carrie is such a perfectionist that she is great at mixing two, sometimes three, nail colors to make a new blend of color and that you wouldn't be able to tell that it was a mixed color. I tried asking a Vietnamese nail salon to do that once (I've now boycotted all Vietnamese nail salons after 6 more times of bad experiences at each salon but that's another story!) and I could literally see the polish color underneath the top color. Thumbs down to them! Carrie has a way of making your hands and feet really pretty and the polish lasts a long time. I go for my pedicure every 5 to 6 weeks and I could probably go longer if my nail beds weren't showing. When I get a manicure, it usually lasts for a little under two weeks, if I get one for a trip. If I get one for a wedding and I'm home doing typical chores, it'll probably last about a week. A manicure is $30 and a pedicure is $55. It'll take about an hour each for each treatment but it's well worth the price for the amount of time the polish will last you, especially pedicures. I believe she only does natural nails, no acrylics, but I'm not 100% positive so try and give her a call to ask. Check her out and tell her Steph sent you. She'll be happy!

Michele is actually passionate about the work she does, and always goes above and beyond my expectations.

I never leave her shop without a huge grin on my face because she creates some of the most beautiful toes on the island. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my toes! But it's not just her designs that get props; she does an excellent job of keeping my feet in tip top shape. Smooth, clean and perfect!! In fact she does such a great job that the majority of her clientele (including myself) only need to see her 1x a month versus some other place that require you to go back in 2 weeks or less. She's known for her "ultimate bling" pedicure that will give you the most jaw dropping toes you've ever seen! Michele also does nails including gel and acrylic, but if you go you cannot pass up the pedicure. I've been hooked for years! I've tried more than my share of salons including Smiley's, Rainbows, Mani Pedi, Makiki , Salon Glitter, Tip n Toe, and I assure you NOTHING compares to Michele. Also, she's a local girl which means she speaks English and she won't push you to get some lame flower design you end up regretting 5 minutes after you walk out the door. If you want the best, here she is. I will also note that she has one of the most distinguished list of clientele on the island.
