Five Stars for Aloha Nails!…read more I couldn't be happier with my experience at Aloha Nails! Every visit is outstanding, but this Pride set is truly one of my favorites. A special thank you to Jonathan, my incredibly talented nail artist. I asked for a Christian-inspired Pride design, and he transformed my vision into a stunning work of art. The combination of bold black, vibrant Pride colors, and faith-inspired details is absolutely breathtaking. Jonathan's creativity, precision, and attention to detail are second to none. I also want to recognize Julie, the owner, for creating such a welcoming, professional, and inclusive environment. From the moment you walk in, you feel appreciated and cared for. Her leadership shines through in every aspect of the salon. Whether you're celebrating Pride, expressing your faith, or simply looking for exceptional nail art, Aloha Nails is the place to go. They welcome everyone with kindness, respect, and outstanding customer service. Thank you, Jonathan and Julie, for always helping me express myself with confidence and creativity. I receive compliments everywhere I go, and I can't wait for my next appointment!

This was my first time with the highly acclaimed Kim (nails) and Sean (pedi) and both were AMAZING!! I am so happy with the results and attention to detail. Even if you are not 100% happy with your nails the staff is so nice and understanding and will fix anything before you walk out because they truly want you to be satisfied with your experience. I also love they offer mini water bottles. 10/10 my go to salon!

I had to go back the next day but I realized there was still one nail where the top coat didn't cover all of the nail. That meant the sticker was jutting out a bit and irritating my skin. The nail artist is pretty decent with simple art and with most sticker application. I had wanted it all to be nail art and for them to tell me they couldn't do 3D nails. There is at least one sticker on each nail. Also I had to coax her to not give up but she was insistent on simply stickering every nail to make it go faster. The pedi was alright and pretty painless. The nail artist just missed a spot of paint and accidentally got a dot of red paint on the right big toe. I think about 2.5 hours was spent in total during the first visit and less than 10 minutes fixing the issues with the nails in the next visit.

My toes I feel like are simple- scrub, cut the dead, then paint. I don't know what it was but like yall I do not like the paint job. It looks like there was maybe too much polish on the brush so it's kinda bulky towards the root of the toe. Like this thick polish. I looked down when she was done and immediately was like wait why my feet look like that? The paint job is just idk, sloppy. Idk I just didn't like it. I mentioned it and she was super super nice and like buffed them and painted on top but fr probably shoulda been taken OFF and redone. I told her I know the polish is gonna start chipping because it's too thick... and even when she tried to buff and redo I knew the job should have been started over. I just didn't have the time or patience and it's intro to the summer so they see done enough for my flip flops and maybe it's just that stylist and not the salon but it was my first time and never going back. But! They do serve some wine and even though I think my tech was questioning my age for way too long bc I guess ASKED for the wine and maybe seemed to young and pressed but I mean no one offered so yeah... Good massage chairs, they have "happy hour" prices where they knock some dollars off. Like my service was solid but I truly just don't like the pedicure I received and I don't feel like my standards are high lol. Three days into my pedicure per my estimate the toenails started peeling and looking a hot messssss.

1 Star I am…read moreextremely disappointed with my experience at Inspire Nail Bar. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, it will be my last. I paid $47 for a fill, and the quality of the work was unacceptable. The older gentleman at the last station near the pedicure area did my nails. I came in with a shape I liked, but he completely changed it. The nails are not the same shape, not the same length, and the fill is very thick and bulky. Looking closely, several nails are uneven, the sidewalls are inconsistent, and the overall finish looks rushed and unprofessional. Instead of leaving feeling confident about my nails, I left wishing I had never gotten them done. For the price, I expected attention to detail and a professional result. Unfortunately, I received neither. I gave this salon a chance as a first-time customer, but based on this experience, I cannot recommend it. $47 wasted. I will be paying another salon to fix them.

Pedicure: My tech cut my toe during the pedicure and there was blood on the towel. My toe nails were filed unevenly. Please see the pictures for reference. I was the only customer in the shop at the time and the first customer of the day so I'm not sure why I received this poor level of service. I don't think I'll give this place another try.

The shop owner helped me and she was very nice. She seemed like she knew all her customers because she has been there for 18 years and she was confused who I was since she didn't recognize me, lol. My manicure was done with attention and care. I'm torn, I don't know if I'll come back here or go to my regular shop! But definitely recommend - support small business!

I originally came in for a pedicure and a full set, but I ended up not getting the full set I'll explain why. When I sat down, I was never asked if I wanted a drink, while other white customers around me were. I was also not given a menu to choose the type of pedicure I wanted. That immediately rubbed me the wrong way treat everyone the same. I asked for square nails and told her multiple times not to round them, yet she continued to do so anyway. I requested French toes with a soft pink base and black tips, but she acted like she couldn't find the colors. At that point, I told her to just do solid black to keep it moving. When we went to her nail station, I showed her the reference for the full set pink acrylic with a black French tip. She tried to tell me it wasn't possible and claimed she only had gel polish. I had to pull up a TikTok and show her, and suddenly she understood exactly what I meant. By then, I already knew my nails were about to be messed up, so I told her to just do a manicure instead. I paid over $100, and my polish is already peeling off. On top of that, the tools do not appear to be properly disinfected, which is unacceptable. I am a board-certified esthetician, and this experience was extremely unprofessional. Connie was careless, and this salon overall was a huge disappointment. I will not be returning. So pissed my gel polish is already coming off..
