Was great! Everyone was so sweet and professional. I had Lee she was super sweet. Worked very fast too.

I've been gatekeeping my girl Abby for the last 6-months. She is the only person I trust with my nails. She's fast, detailed, and always does quality work that LASTS. She has THE VISION when I'm not sure what designs I want. And my nails always come out so cute! It's time to share her with the world Make your appt in advance! Her slots are going to fill up fast. Side notes: lots of free parking. Affordable pricing. Everyone in the salon is so friendly. And they play the best music. read more

I have used this place many times for gel pedicures and once for a manicure. I felt like the manicure was pretty standard but nothing to write home about. The first few pedicures I received here were terrific. The ladies are very nice and thorough. They always make sure you are ok with the scrub and you can request it to be lighter. But it's the consistency for me that has me questioning whether I'd go back here. A couple of the men have done my pedi and maybe have not been as experienced or good. And when I went to pay the last time, the larger man who takes the money is sort of rude. He didn't even tell me my total and just expected me to scan my card. He didn't say anything or look me in the eye. He didn't turn the machine around so I could see the price so I had to ask. Mind you, I asked politely. It was so awkward. He looked angry that I asked. Honestly getting a mani/pedi is supposed to be a relaxing experience but he made it not great. read more

Found my nail place! I've been here several times already. The service is quick, they give you what you want, they can do fancy designs, if you want a mani and pedi they will do it both at the same time and you'll feel like you're at the spa. I get Gel X with fills and cat eye polish. That's my go to. I pay about $72ish for a fill and cat eye polish. I got the deluxe pedicure once and I felt so pampered and my feet were so soft. I loved my results every time. There's lots of parking right in front of the shop. They play today's hits (music) on the tv or today I was watching americas got talent. read more

Very unhappy with the lack of quality and lack of care. It started great when I walked in, greeted with a hello, a smile and a 5 minute wait. I was told to sit in chair 2 and pick a color. The nail tech whose name may have been Stacy (name on a lamp at the desk I sat at) sat down and asks me what I've chosen. I really liked a certain color but it was gel. I've had gel before but I prefer regular polish. So I asked her if she had a color that looked similar to the one I really liked. She then begins to tell me that gel is easier. I asked what is easier about gel. &&&& NOT to my surprise she says "it dries faster". I wanted acrylic, French tip with a pinkish/glitter polish. Not difficult. Very standard. Very doable. I opted out of the glitter because she was already struggling with just the pink. The shape is hideous. The paint is hideous. The service was horrible. I still paid. I still tipped. It's hard to find a good nail tech/salon in Honolulu that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg. My go to tech ended up moving to the mainland and since then I've been doing my own nails because of things like this! This was my first time at a nail salon in 8 months since my girl moved. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Wife and I went in for a late Valentine's Day manicure and pedicure and was treated so well! From check in to finishing, aunties and uncles were kind, accommodating and helpful. There's a 35 dollar pedicure, but I opted for the 55 dollar one for its extra perks. She ended up getting a manicure as well, which they did right as she was getting a pedicure. Place is smaller, and it was getting busy with his and her packages coming in, but they handled it with ease. Big respect for opening up during Lunar New year as well. Will definitely return, free easy parking, vape shop next door, with boba and ramen if you're hungry. read more

Blooming nails were super quick, friendly, and did such beautiful designs! will be coming back again

Came in for a basic pedicure because the place where I go to at downtown closed down and I was looking for a new place to go to. I looked at the reviews and decided to come here. The ladies were nice however, the lady who helped me rushed the job. The nails were uneven and it didn't get filed or shaped correctly. My cuticles were not cleaned either. The nail polish was uneven and messy. I didn't even get the 5 minute massage that the service was supposed to come with. On top of that, the lady told me to wait on the chair because the polish was still fresh then she left! She only came back to kick me out of the chair because other people came in. She grabbed and handed me my things and looked at me to put my slippers on. Mind you, the toe separator was still on my feet! On top of that, my feet started to itch bad when I got home. I rarely write bad reviews but I had to for this one because the price did not match the service they claim to give. Very disappointing. read more

Was able to take me in last minute. Was very happy. Got the cat eye and love it. Would come back again

I had my nails done by Nyna for the first time and I'm so happy with how they turned out! She was very gentle, took her time, and made sure everything was perfect no pain, no cuts, just beautiful, clean work. You can really feel how much care she puts into what she does. The salon has such a calm and lovely vibe, and everyone was kind and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable too. I came by once on a Friday and didn't realize it was Nyna day off. I highly recommend Nyna if you want your nails done with love and great attention to detail. :) read more

I was a walk-in and Stacie did what I wanted and did a great very & thorough job. I went to a place 2 days prior and I ripped my nails off because they look and felt so terrible. Only place I recommend for HI. Only downfall facilities were small and very warm. Also directions only take you to the front of the building not the actual shop. So if you are lost go to the parking lot to the next Right and it's in there! read more

I did love my nails but they didn't even last a week and a half. My thumb broke in half a little over a week later. And I didn't even do anything that would cause it to break. There was also a little gap on my left pointer. My total was $95. read more

I had a truly awful experience at this nail salon. I called ahead and they assured me it was fine to come in. I went there specifically to get my nails done for an important event tomorrow where there will be close-up pictures taken, so I wanted a clean,cute look. I asked for a very simple nude light pink glitter cat eye design that they literally had advertised in the salon, along with an acrylic fill and gel pedicure. From the moment I sat down, the experience was bad. There was a used rag with old dirty nail clippings and used tools all over the table where they wanted me to put my hands, which was completely unsanitary. The nail tech cut my cuticles and skin multiple times, and my fingers are still hurting. I originally had square acrylics and asked for almond shape. Every single nail came out uneven, jagged, different lengths, and different shapes. The tech also struggled with the cat eye design. I picked out a nude pink color, but she grabbed the wrong color and started layering random polishes trying to "fix" it instead of just telling me they didn't have the color I wanted I would have happily picked a different one. Now some nails are brown, some are pink, the cat eye is uneven on every finger, and there are chunks and dust cured into the polish so the nails are bumpy and rough. Another tech stepped in to help and was extremely rough with my hands and wrists the entire time, yanking my arm around every time I took my hand out of the lamp. The entire fill took FIVE HOURS by itself, and I was there almost their entire business day. Then I still had to get my pedicure done. I asked for square toes and they all came out different shapes too. Before I came in, the bottoms of my feet were completely normal. Now the skin on the bottoms of my feet is visibly shredded and torn up from the pedicure. It does not just feel irritated, the skin is actually damaged and rough looking even though I paid for an actual pedicure with scrub and care, not just a polish change. Not sure what products they use either but my feet were insanely dried out after. I literally left tearing up because of how bad everything looked. One employee did waive the cat eye upcharge, but it just sucks having to pay over $100 for stuff that comes out so bad I'm genuinely embarrassed to be seen with my nails like this.... Then Ill have to spend even more money trying to get everything redone before my event tomorrow morning, and I don't even know if I'll be able to get another appointment in time. Sadly this was a complete waste of money and one of the worst salon experiences I've ever had. read more

Went here about a month ago, I asked the nail tech to just soak off my last nails because my nail beds were already thin and the way she was drilling was uncomfortable. She soaked them for a minute then proceeded to use the drill to take it all off. Also burnt me a couple of times. Less than two weeks with the set, almost every nail had visible cracks. I just got them off today and it took my nail tech twice as long to get them off because acetone wasn't doing anything and the layers were so thick. Rest of the staff were nice, but overall very disappointed. read more

Wow! Long story short I recommend this place the ladies, the vibes, it was immaculate. The name of the lady who helped me was Su, she found my pinky toe nail and it was amazing. If you'd like to know the full story you're gonna have to ask her. She saved my life (toe). I'm the maid of honor and i needed help. Wow. BEST FRENCH DIP EVER read more

The services was amazing! My friends, sister and I came to this nail salon in order to get pedicures for my sister's wedding on Saturday! They were able to squeeze in 7 of us which is amazing! Highly recommend their shop if you're in the area read more

I got my engagement nails done here and I WILL be going back for my wedding in December. This review is long overdue! They did everything that I wanted: gel toes, ombré acrylics and acrylic 3d nail art. Parking is right in the front, which can be hard to find in town. Even if the parking lot was full, you could park in the mall and walk! I was a walk in that day, and it was raining. They still accommodated me. I know that nails can be very subjective, and even if my nails aren't to your liking, they have the skill to make your vision come true! read more

Honestly so disappointed. I don't usually go to this nail salon, but it was right next to my place and Gradient Salon was fully booked. The details on my nails look like they were done by an 8-year-old--no precision at all. What's worse is Gradient is cheaper for a regular gel manicure and still delivers way better quality. Total regret. Gradient Nail Salon let you wash your hands after and also give you a full hand spa for cheaper price than what I paid in this salon. read more

The guy who worked on my pedicure skinned the fresh skin on my big toe . It was so raw that everytime he cleaned up the polish with the brush it stung so bad . Then when I had to put my foot in the hot wax and even just the water I knew they was open wound because of the stinging . They cut off my cuticles which I understand some places do but it was incredibly painful and made my toe nail paint look longer than I usually am accustomed to. I think he took more than dead skin . Most painful pedicure I've ever had and results weren't amazing . They seem like nice people though , maybe I was just unlucky . read more

My friend and I stopped in last week to get our nails done for a wedding. My friend got extensions, and we both got gel manicures and the deluxe pedicures. The total was $300 for both of us and took around 2 hours. They do some beautiful work in regards to extensions and nail art here, but I was looking for something simple. I got an absolutely beautiful gel manicure with white rose nail art and just a hint of sparkle. It was exactly what I didn't know I wanted and is still holding up beautifully week later. My friend is an esthetician herself and is particular if things aren't up to industry standards. She had nothing but good things to say about her nails and our experience here! read more

I live next door so I was walking and randomly came in to get an acrylic fill. They were nice - it's a small place & it was clean! I told the tech that I wanted more of a nude undertone for my French tip instead of white/pink & she kept trying to gaslight me into doing it her way bc she didn't wanna get up to find different nail polish. I was also a little concerned when she was laying down the acrylic powder bc it was so uneven but it ended up being fine since she filed it out nicely. At the end, I ended up loving the results! I paid $63 for an acrylic gel fill + french tip + tip read more

Had reservations for a gel mani (w/ builder gel) & pedi one Saturday. I realllllllly wanted to like this place, but some of the staff is a bit questionable on their skills. It was a little off-putting when I was in the middle of my pedi and someone else came to cut my natural fingers EXTRA SHORT, crooked, and all different lengths... I tried my best to trust the process and hoped it was gonna be nice anyway. I was extra patient and reiterated what I wanted, but I had to be transferred to another mani tech after the tech who did my pedi COULDN'T do french tips with builder gel for me. I asked maybe 4-5 times for her to redo it because it was so messy... she was super sweet so I gave her extra chances. I really did enjoy the way the guy who was able to do my french tips to my liking! He actually had to redo my entire mani... he even had to file down the builder gel that I had because it was so uneven. Even though it turned out nice at the end, my mani chipped 2 days later and I wasn't even doing anything strenuous. Please save your money. I'd only come here for pedis. read more

Nyna did an AMAZING job! Better than the inspo pic I shared with her! I called on a Sunday and was able to set my appointment 2 hours out.

At touch of sparkle... Self care is something that I don't do enough for myself and one touch of flair that I do love is getting a pedicure for my sad feet that's been through way too much for my comfort but since I did get it done it was time for some manicure which I don't do very much as it gets a bashing from work which I do horrible things to it but since I've been wanting to have it done I've been growing it out so that it can be shaped to my linking. Heard about this new place that opened right across Ala Moana Center behind the former Burger King and you can't miss the brightly yellow painted building with Ramen Manichi viewable from Kona Street is where you can access their parking which is also a nice feature to have lots of free parking. Walking into this cozy shop where there's a handful of stations and how they work it in this small space is nice I originally book an appointment in advance but later cancelled it and decided it worked better today and luckily they had made my way in...woohoo! It's not unusual to have some language barrier but knowing that I did walk into a busy time so I did felt rushed and as she asked if I wanted my nails cut...I said yes but to just even it out only to see her cut it down just horrified me to a point that I could see the skin...gah too short lady!!! She then a bit too rounded for me and did the cuticles and touch ups to only then asked what type of polish to I said gel and gave me the color swatches to choose from...I'm used to getting it at the start so I felt kinda rushed and when I chose one I said I want faded nails and was surprised when she painted my whole nails to my confusion I said okay thinking she was gonna add fade at the tips to my horror she added white French tips to a fuchsia pink sparkle color...EWWW! I said no I wanted faded then she faded the white French tips...omg I thought she was crazy! no no no just coat it and leave it alone to what I said then a gentleman steps in Nelson and took over. She never asked how I wanted my nails as she did it as we went it was just horrible and though I wasn't upset about the color the cutting of my nails almost got me walking out as now it's too short...Nelson insist that he will fix it but to the point that I already hate it but what's done is done and I'm not spending for extensions and at least he fixed it to the best of what it can be. They need to evaluate from the start and not as you go...don't rush just to squeeze in the sales as when you don't take the time it's wasted doing things over but I will be back though I saw a stamp card at the register and never got an offer for it. read more
