Beautiful palm tree design!
Kaela T.

I cannot rave about this place enough!! Everyone is beyond exceptional and so friendly! It has become a tradition that every year my family comes to visit that we go get pedicures and my stepdad always gets a design on his big toes. Trust me, other places don't compare to this level of detail. And the gel pedicure from here lasts longer than anywhere else I've tried on island (despite going beach, gym, hikes). The convenient location is a plus too. But honestly, I'd travel to come here either way

Creative Nails (shout out to Kristina) is hands down the best!  International Womxn's Day paws

Creative Nails (shout out to Kristina) is hands down the best! She's the owner and it shows in her work--she's incredibly talented and meticulous. I'm obsessed with my International Womxn's Day paws. Precise art, profound creativity, and nails that LAST

Love this place! Have been going for over 15 years. All the ladies are so sweet and I'm never disappointed when I leave. They are also really great at squeezing you in as a walk-in (unless they're super busy, but they'll tell you when to come back). Please don't steal her from me, but I can't gatekeep...I will always always request Mimi for my Mani/Pedi. She gives great massages and my nails always come out perfect! With that said, if she's not available, Mai, Linda, and Tina are also fabbb! Lastly, I love that this is a female owned business. I love supporting Kristina and her team and never hesitate to tell people where I go for my nails whenever I'm asked.

I have been a loyal customer since they opened 20 years ago. Creative Nails keeps my hands and feet healthy, feeling great! The artwork is outstanding, bling makes me smile. I can't wait to see what they create for me next!! Mahalos to Christina, and the women who take such good care of me, and make me pretty

I started going to Creative Nails back in 2006 and have been a regular repeat client ever since. Why? It's Perfection every time. They did a perfect wedding French manicure with gel polish. Nail Techs Christine and Mimi do such great job, I had to show it off!

Uneven shape and uneven cuticle
Shekina B.

I loved my visit the first few times, but I've stopped enjoying them due to a decline in quality. The shaping used to be incredible and the polish used to be even and precise, but it's gone downhill over my last few visits. The workers are always super friendly which is a redeeming quality! Im not one to ask for adjustments if I don't like the look of the nails, but I've been practicing being more vocal when I'm spending money on a service. My first visit there, the top coat was not cured thoroughly so there were uneven sections. The workers were super accommodating in redoing the topcoat on the nail I requested. However, my last few visits have not been enjoyable. I book usually a week to two weeks in advance, but it feels like i've been just getting squeezed in between other clients as of recently. I had to wait over an hour for my pedicure recently despite having made the appointment for a mani pedi two weeks in advance. My manicure this past time was uneven and splotchy, and my almond nails were all different shapes and sizes. The cuticle area was not cleaned prior to curing so it was left spilling onto my actual nail that I had to clean up with a file myself to avoid contact dermatitis. It's not the usual neat and precise experience they had given me the first few times. While the staff are all super friendly, I don't want to have to fix things on my own when I'm paying so much for a service. It's becoming too much of a hassle between parking, waiting around, and not getting a nice mani/pedi which is what we're ultimately there for. I liked this place for a bit but i'm currently on the hunt for a new nail salon because I'm just not happy here anymore.

This is my go to place for amazing manicures and pedicures for a great price ! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming and i trust any nail tech there with my nails. I have been going to Mimi for the past couple of months and she is the best! i can show her any inspiration photo and she creates it perfectly !! highly recommend :)

Sparkle French holiday gel nails

Ask for Mimi and Tina. Mai is great too! They should give them a raise. I enjoy the vibe of this salon and I like to get in and out quickly so it's easy to schedule pedicure and manicure at the same time. This is the best nail salon. I don't really want to write a review this great, because then everyone will want to come here and I won't be able to get in. I come here all the time because my nails always look exactly how I want them, and I am very picky. Get the volcano pedicure, it is worth the extra money! The ladies who work here are fabulous

Love how they do my nails!

We LOVE creative nails! Everyone is amazing!! Our nails always look amazing! This is the best place on island!

I've been coming here since 2006, I love this place. I no longer live in Hawaii but make it a point to go when I'm visiting

I was treated with such kindness and immediately felt welcome! A precious lady named Amy was my nail technician and she did a phenomenal job! I have plantar fasciitis and have a really tender spot on my right foot. She took great care of me, and went the extra mile, trying to help relieve the pain and showed me techniques to continue at home. Our conversation was wonderful as we shared with each other about our lives and families. They play Christian music which is a huge bonus! I will always return to Hale Aloha Nani Nails whenever I am visiting O'ahu. Mahalo, Amy, for a wonderful experience! Much Aloha!

Very excited to digest extra stuff ... without telling you it'll be extra. "Oh...can I put a flower on one of your nails?" Both ring fingers done ... $25 extra on the tab when checking out. That was by wife. I was talked into a foot rub. As my feet soaked, the sweet woman bright a pedicure tray over. I had to deny three offers to just let her clip my already short nails. Then she proceeded to give a foot rub which consisted of running her thumbs and forefingers along my lower leg bones for 30 minutes. She also gave me a run down on her family and asked multiple questions about how long I was staying and where and what I did for a living. My entire mission while in that chair was to not cry or flinch. When she was done, I felt comfortable concluding she had not one single day of training in massage therapy. My bill was $60. My wife's was $42 for gel plus $25 for two flowers. All in all, we left laughing (and limping), but $150 lighter than when we went in.

Booking my appointment was an absolute breeze thanks to their use of Vagaro, an online platform that's so user-friendly I was able to pick a time slot that worked perfectly for my busy schedule in just a few clicks. What I loved even more was discovering the variety of packages they offer, which made it easy to bundle services like brow shaping and waxing at a great value, saving me both time and money. Lisa offers such a wide range of services, from precise eyebrow threading to full-body waxing, and I was blown away by the options available to customize my treatment exactly how I wanted it. Lisa's skills and techniques are excellent. She's clearly a master at her craft, with an attention to detail that left my brows looking perfectly sculpted and my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Every step of the process showcased her expertise, whether she was shaping my brows with precision or ensuring the waxing was as comfortable as possible, and I could tell she's truly passionate about delivering top-notch results. Beyond her technical abilities, Lisa is incredibly personable and conversational, which made the entire experience feel so warm and welcoming. She took the time to chat with me about my preferences, shared some great tips for maintaining my brows, and kept the conversation light and fun, like catching up with a good friend, which made the time fly by. The location of Brows and Bushes is super convenient, right in a central spot that's easy to get to, and I had no trouble finding parking, which is always a huge plus in a busy area. The business is tucked away in a private room on the second floor of Nueve Salon and Spa, which gives it a cozy, exclusive vibe, though I should note there's no elevator, so you'll need to climb a flight of stairs to get there. The private room itself was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing experience, and I appreciated how Lisa made it feel like a little oasis despite being part of a larger salon. Overall, my visit to Brows and Bushes was an absolute delight, and Lisa's combination of professionalism, warmth, and skill has made me a loyal client--I can't wait to book my next appointment and try more of her amazing services!

Vargo? app and select the services. Convenient location and great reviews! It's in the same building as the musubi place and you can park on the side of the building - I didn't know there was extra parking besides the ones fronting the businesses. It's upstairs, right next to nueve salon and you can park in unmarked stalls or the ones that are marked for nueve salon. Lisa was so nice and friendly. Also efficient and I liked that she explained what she was going to do before and after. I did eyebrows and full face wax, it was also the first time I waxed my nose hairs lol. I think she also does lamination, lash lifts and permanent brows. Nice clean and comfortable space! Found my new go to wax salon yay!
