I highly recommend Duyen and her husband! They're super talented and fast. But they are gentle in how they handle you and also the chemical processing in order to not further damage the hair. Super reasonable rates. Easy parking. Convenient location. read more

This review is long overdue . I've been coming here for a few years now but keep forgetting to write . This is No fancy salon & the place is tiny so don't be expecting anything like that. But who cares as long as your hair turns out nice & the price is affordable. Duyen is very knowledgeable & she doesn't try to upsale you or sugarcoat anything. She'll tell you what you need and she wouldn't do anything that you don't need even if you beg her. My hair is really thin and fragile cause I always ruined it by doing all kinds of bleach and extensions. Ever since I've been coming here, Duyen helped me maintain my hair and it's way better now. She doesn't use strong chemicals & bleach my hair too long but it still turns out nice . read more

After 7 YEARS being in Hawaii and trying to find the best hair salon, I've finally found one!!! I went for a cut and color.

The salon's commitment to client satisfaction, paired with a welcoming atmosphere, made for a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend their hair color services for anyone seeking expertise and quality results. Definitely come back to retouch my roots read more

De Lotus Nails & Hair - Ash brown - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been coming to De Lotus for YEARS to do my pedicures and to get my hair done. I only trust a handful of people to do my hair and Kevin never disappoints! Yesterday was the first time I came to De Lotus with untouched virgin hair LOL. I was long over due for a haircut and color... since my birthday month is approaching, I decided to do something nice for myself. Speaking to the owners, Kevin & Sa, they were telling me how rough it has been in 2020 since the pandemic hit. With minor changes (pexi glass) being done to the shop, they are 100% enforcing social-distancing rule, as well as limiting the amount of people that can be in the shop to ensure safety for their patrons. It's best for new customers to call to schedule an appointment, rather than a walk-in. I told them I wanted my roots to be dark but lavender hair. This process took a little over 8 hours soooo worth it! I hardly get my hair did so I was really happy with the outcome. My hair is silky smooth and it looks amazing. Kevin only uses high-quality premium truthworthy hair products like Guy Tang, JOICO, etc. Like I said before.... I only trust a handful of people to do my hair. Kevin is one of them. If you're looking for an affordable place that does fantastic job, I recommend going to De Lotus!!!! read more

I have been getting my hair done by Kevin and his wife for over 10 years. Kevin and his wife are very honest, detailed oriented, they take the time to listen and I love that they always suggest what's best for your hair. I admire their patience, tenacity, they are truly a dedicated hair stylist. They always exceed my expectation. Thank you so much for your the wonderful work you do. I love my new hairstyle :) read more

Great haircut and color from Kevin. He and his wife always takes their time to make sure your hair comes out perfect! For a great reasonable price too! (compared to other salon prices) I'm referring all my friends and family to his salon. On top of great services, this salon is husband and wife owed. They are really nice and sweet people who just welcomed a baby in April. I'm glad my husband was able to treat me to coloring to my hair which now helps new family during this pandemic. read more

Been going to this salon for 6 years now to get a permanent straight, hair treatment and hair cut. Kevin and Sa always take care of me and use only good products. My naturally kinky hair was so dry before until I met them. I never went to any other salon since 2018. Highly recommended! read more

It's a busy weekday afternoon and I'm radiating J-Lo vibes in my jumpsuit and hoop earrings that I needed to feel so good from my hair down to my toes. So I went to get a pedicure. I've come to De Lotus Nails & Hairs once before during my lunch break because I was desperate for a pedicure lol. If there is one thing I must regularly do is get a pedicure. I used to do it myself but other people thrive off of it, so why not pay someone to do it! I called ahead of time to see if there was space available for a pedicure and they were, so happy I walked myself from Bishop street, to Smith excited to complete all my J-Lo vibes with a near robins egg blue pedicure. I had chosen two other colors and the lady who helped me (I'm sorry I don't know her name!) suggested that I go with the more darker color than a lighter one because it'd make my skin look too dark and I 100% agreed. I never timed my pedicures before and well, I was in no rush to rush her, but it really does take a full hour, so make sure you plan accordingly or just do it on a day you're free. There were definitely some weird vibes in there, I'll admit but I just loved how the lady that helped me really took the time to round out my toes and make sure that I had the perfect amount of coating on top. read more

I highly recommend this hair salon. The salon itself is a little bit small, but they have a very good technique and the overall experience will leave you very satisfied. Simply tell them whatever you would like to do with your hair (men or women) and they can make it happen. They're so awesome. I will be back again.

Where do a mommies of one year olds, 13 week old pregnant ladies and workaholic ladies get get a mani & pedi on a saturday morning, with that said, needing one ASAP! yep, De Lotus Nails & Hair is the place! Just the name is something that you want to definitelty check out. My girlfriends and I have orignially had appointments at this one salon in Maunakea Marketplace but that changed once we saw the place. I needed to save this girls day ASAP so I turned to my handy dandy yelp app :) and we have found a winner. Within a walk away we found the cute charming salon on smith street and closer to Nimitz Highway, away from the hectic crowded chinatown. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by these three wonderful ladies and from there on everything went perfect. They have 3 spa chairs for pedis and we had the whole place to ourselves, it was just so calm and peaceful with the nice clean atmosphere. There were roses around the salon to make it more relaxed and the the music was very calming. If you find a better looking salon in downtown please let me know but I am sure this place has no competition! They have parking available for customers and I am not the rates because my friends and I parked across Maunakea Marketplace, which is flat rate of $3 on weekends. Mani & Pedis are $35 for just the norm, if you want designs its a little more. I paid about $41 for my whole treatment. The massages to my feet were magical, only becuase I am very ticklish so she knew it from the start and took her time. And my manicure was just lovely, she massaged my arms and made me wanting more. (They also do massages!) I think next time I will have to schedule a massage with them. It is also quite nice to be able to have a converstaion with your nail artist instead of them talking in another languauge. They were very nice and I totally forgot their names but my girlfriends and I were very pleased with their customer service. It felt like we knew them for a while, it was just a natural relationship between customers and employees! The only thing that would make this place as perfect as it can get is more nail polishes. They have bit of collection but they have room for lots more. And also they don't really have a client book to look through designs of what you want on your nails so my friends and I just searched it ourselves on our phone and showed them how we wanted it. They did admit that they are not imaginative but they can copy designs very well, which I totally agree! All in all the day was saved by these wonderful women at De Lotus Nails & Hair! I think we have found our salon :) read more

A good friend recommended this place to me and I have to say I'm not disappointed. Unpretentious, yet clean, fresh and new, the salon owner, Lani, goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. I came in on my lunch hour for a spa pedicure and was done within my hour. Lani didn't rush and did a fantastic job. She uses a masque on your legs and feet, which leaves them baby soft. She does a hot stone massage which feels wonderful. Couple all of that with brand new massage chairs and wonderful relaxing music, you leave this place feeling like a million bucks! This will be the only place I will go for pedicures from now on. Unfortunately, she does not do acrylic for the nails, only gel. So if you are like me and have those, you will have to go elsewhere for acrylic nail action. read more

I came in to get my hair color, and it was awesome. The hairstylists are professional and friendly. Recommend for everyone if you want to get the color done read more

I enjoyed my mani/pedi, and the best part was the massage! Lani was very nice and does a good job with your cuticles and nails, and she takes her time. I liked that she wasn't just trying to power through it and rush me out. The guy scrubbed the bottom of my feet with the pumice-thing but he didn't have the right rhythm for it so it was okay but he probably just needs more practice. He did do a wonderful job with the massaging of my feet/legs and hands/arms! Not sure if he is Lani's husband, or if he's her neighbor's husband, but I want another massage, pronto! The Petra spa chairs are also awesome and really get into your back muscles. Also did a brow wax for $10 but I wouldn't do it again..there were still visible hairs, both baby hairs and some thick stubles. When I mentioned it she tried picking a few of them out again, I acted like it looked ok when I looked at my brows again because I didn't want to deal with it. I guess most of the hair was cleaned up but I wouldn't do the waxing again. Paid $35 for the mani/pedi + $10 for the brow wax. I'll definitely come here again, but without the wax. Pros: Small salon, 3chairs, not loud nor sprawling with teenie boppers or kids (so I got to relax). Open 7 days a week. Great massage (the guy does it). Massage chair is great (Petra brand). It really gets into your back muscles. Free street parking after 6pm. Close to chinatown bars, restaurants. Not crowded, so walking in at 5:30 or 6pm is not a problem. Cons: Didn't care for my eyebrow wax. Not an open parking lot (lot across Smith St is a paid lot). No inside bathroom. Lots of high pitch beeping since it's next to the parking garage (the ones to alert pedestrians that a car is entering/leaving). It's not super loud but it started to get a tad bit annoying halfway into the mani/pedi. Lani's neighbor came in with her kids, so it started to distract her, and started to ruin my "relaxed" buzz, lol. read more

Kevin cut my hair and it was great! He's really nice, meticulous, and listens to exactly what you want. He takes his time and checks with you every once and a while to make sure you're liking how it looks. And the prices are very very reasonable! I'll definitely come back :) My mom got a pedicure and it looks clean and professional. read more

No words can describe how much I love my hair now. Omg it looks so pretty and glorious. I will definitely be more confident if I meet my crush with this hair style. I am so in love with it. What a wonderful day to treat yourself well! Be kind to your hair and it won't make you regret. I really appreciate Chị Duyên and her husband for helping me get a beautiful hair style and blow all my stress away. De Lotus is a Must go Hair salon for a stressful and depressive day! Here, you have the people who can shine your whole day with the most affordable price that you can never get from the other salons !!! read more

Truk/BAMBOO is an excellent employee. She is very professional, understanding, and silent in her work. I travel from Seattle, WA to Honolulu and it's a must that I get my mani and pedi from her on Saturday early AM.

My review is not for any actual service performed. Me: Good morning, can I make an appointment for a fill? I have acrylic nails. DLNH: Yes Me: Can I come in at 5:00 this afternoon? DLNH: Yes Me: Ummmm...okay...see you then. Fast forward to 5:00 p.m. I walk in to a tiny shop where a guy was cutting someone's hair. I mentioned that I had an appointment. The guy runs out of the shop and returns a couple of minutes later with a woman who promptly starts to fill the spa chair. I said: I'm not here for a pedicure, I'm here for my nails (as I'm waving my fingers). The woman looks perplexed and asked: Gel? No, I said. Acrylic. The woman says: Don't do acrylic. Me (in my head): I'm so outta here! Disappointed that I'll have to return to my previous hair salon. read more

Came here as it is close to my workplace and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. With an advertised special for a $20 pedicure and great reviews, I was sold. I had a pedicure and my pedicure started off with the guy then Lani took over. The guy was nice but Lani was the true professional; she is great with cutting nails and cuticles, always my biggest concern. The girl after me got the real treatment as she opted for the spa pedicure. I think I will spring for that next time as it seemed like a big difference in quality (though my pedi was good). Park in the municipal parking. Very clean, small but good selection of OPI, China Glaze, and Zoya with a generous amount of glitter polishes. I will be back! read more

Since opening a mere three months, it feels like De Lotus has developed a good groove. This is a tiny shop with two salon chairs and three manipedi seats. Mani-pedi prices start at $35. They also have a deluxe version with sea salt scrub and parrafin for a little bit more. Since I was pressed for time, I settled on the basic mani-pedi. My nail tech was very careful to remove all that cuticle build up and gingerly took time to shape and polish my neglected nails. Lani, the shop's owner, is very cheery and generously offered me a beverage while I got my nails done. Pleasantries make such a big difference especially in service establishments. I barely noticed the chairs we standard and not massage ones. But the interior spaces are fresh and clean, something I value more than a mechanical massage. Will be back again soon. read more

I was really excited to try this place after reading the great reviews. I went there today at 11am and there were no customers yet and just one employee. I asked for a full set and she said that the guy that does them will be back soon. I waited for a few minutes then asked her how long he would be. She said 10-15 mins. I said ok and went to get coffee and came back about 15 minutes later. Upon my return I go inside to discover that NO ONE was there! They left the doors to the business unlocked and no one was there! Not only is that bad customer service to ask me to return only to find out no one is there, but to leave your business open with no one inside? Someone could have easily stolen things from there. I even tried calling them hoping it was maybe a cell phone number to see if they would be back soon but no one answered. So I left and went else where. Won't be returning here again. read more

In the not so distant past, the nail shops in the vicinity (Fort St, and some random hair shops in Chinatown) all looked uninviting and dirty, so I always opted to wait until the weekend to go somewhere nicer looking....but not anymore! De Lotus is a nice little nail shop on Smith St. in Marin Tower (right across from the parking lot.) Everything is still new and clean and the owner was playing very relaxing music, so it was a very pleasant place to be. The owner was very sweet and attentive as well. The one hair salon I did go to that offered nails SUCKED (it will remain unnamed because 1) it's close by to this place 2) they were super nice and their hair services were awesome.) As a rule of thumb, a mani-pedi CANNOT be that great when the salon doesn't even have a pedicure chair and/or nail station in the place! Now I can't speak upon De Lotus' haircut services, but they did a GREAT job on my gel french mani and pedi! I think that's their main focus.... Granted I was the only one in there at 12n, but that's a great thing. They gave me their undivided attention and did my nails with care. I personally love that I can get my nails done during my lunch break and not waste my weekend! Prices are the going market rate (off the top of my head, $35 mani-pedi, $14 mani, $25 pedi, $10 eyebrow wax, $7 lip wax, $5 extra for french.....), although there are offering a 30% discount if you come in between 9a-2pm by 2/14/2012. If you live/work in downtown, near Smith St., definitely come on in, its a great little mani-pedi oasis at an affordable price. Open M-Sat 9am-7pm, closed Sundays. Pros: -Clean, new equipment and space -Nice pedi-chairs with massage -Close to my work! -Affordable -Lots of parking -Good workmanship -Takes appts, but can walk in as well. Cons: -Small, only 3 pedi chairs available, I'd call to make an appt just in case. -Not a huge nail color assortment yet (compared to larger salons) but what they have is quality and sufficient. read more

LUNCH TIME IS AMATEUR HOUR I walked from Bishop St. on my lunch break to come here because it had such great reviews and my feet really needed it. Spa pedis are $25 and is very basic. Let me just say that the nail salon I usually go to is Waipio Nails and for $25 you get all the regulars plus a foot and calf sugar scrub. I sat down, and immediately loved the view from my chair. You can see the harbor and smell the ocean as there was a nice breeze floating through the double doors which are left open. That was unfortunately the only thing that i liked. First off, the water was super hot...I normally like hotter foot baths, but this was borderline scorching. Then the technician began....fast forward ten minutes and she is still working on the same foot! At this point, she was fumbling around with her cuticle cutter in attempt to cut my nails. The owner had to give her a proper nail cutter- what kind of technician doesn't have their own nail cutter? Then the owner tells me "this is her first day." Oh that kind of tech doesn't have a proper cutters! I also noticed that their tools are not sterile which kind of freaked me out. Now I'm really getting worried because my lunch break is quickly nearing its end and she just started my other foot. She also didn't give my feet a firm scrub with the pumice bar- it was very light and almost ticklish. No extra scrubs or treatments and the massage was short and left a lot of lotion on my leg. I just wanted it to be over so I could leave. She at least "painted in the lines" when applying polish. The owner kept trying to sell me on extras but I repeatedly told her I'm on my lunch break and don't have much time. You'd think after hearing that I am short on time she'd tell the newby to scooch. But no, she went outside to smoke. I really regretted cheating on Waipio Nails with this place. It wasn't worth it and I didn't feel good like I usually do after a pedi, plus I had to sprint back to work, hoping I don't mess up the polish. read more

De Lotus Nails & Hair - The view from my spa pedi massage chair. - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found this place on yelp for a pedicure one weekend. This review, however, is for a haircut. While I was getting my pedicure done, there was another lady just finishing up with her hair. It looked vey nice, and only cost her $45. I asked the stylist if she cut, colored & highlighted her hair & she said yes. I was thinking that was a steal, so decided to return the following weekend just for a haircut....it shouldn't cost me more than $15-$20. I asked for 2" cut off & layers. I'm no stylist, but this was the 1st time ever my hair was cut dry...and with the scissors with teeth. She sectioned my hair, but just started chopping it off with those teethy scissors. All the times I've gotten layers before, they all used the straight edged scissors & kind of ran it along my hair (like I said, I'm no stylist...so don't know the "lingo"). But it definitely wasn't looking layered. When she was done, she didn't even give me a mirror & spin me around to look. She just pulled off the apron & said "ok all done". No style, no wash, not even a spray bottle of water. Then she says "30 dollah". Huh!?! Ok place for pedicures, but definitely NOT the place to get your hair done! Fantastic SAMs or Supercuts would've cost way less & I would've gotten what I asked for....layers! read more

Got a pedicure and a manicure the owner (Lani) is super awesome! Very welcoming and actually I was ready to walk-in and she was about to walk out and I've told her I'll come back but she insisted in taking me (BIG PLUS). She puts on a movie to watch and I gottah say that she is super super nice, her son was there and was helping her (family oriented...hehehe) this place is a perfect. I will definitely be back. Pro's -Nice and clean -Very affordable -Complete package (HAIR, NAIL, WAXING and more) -Everything is still new -Wonderful service Con's NOTHING! Cheeehheee read more

I don't know if Lani is the owner or just works there, but she is awesome! Also, the salon is clean and comfortable. The only downfall, is that it the salon is not very big. Make sure you call ahead. The $35 for a spa pedicure and manicure. Highly recommend! read more

Had my haircut twice now by Sa and she never disappointed me. I have thick horse hair and she always her time with it. Rather it's straightening my hair to get that precise A-line cut or to blow dry my hair with a round brush to assure the shape of my lob Bob is on point. She really listens to what I want in my haircut and give me her honest thoughts on it. Their shop is nice and clean. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking to get pampered with a great haircut at a very affordable price. I'm so glad I found her. I hope for my sake she will never move off this island. read more

I usually go to DeLotus for a mani/pedi when I have some free time during my lunch hour. Lani and her staff are friendly and accommodating. The shop is clean and bright so I feel very comfortable going in. When I asked Lani about making a cut and color appointment, she didn't even flinch when I told her that I wanted blue highlights in my hair. At other places, they would talk me into doing something else. All Lani said was give me time to pick up the color and I can do it for you. Now that's service! I was very happy with the result. She now has a new assistant named Kevin that she recommends highly. I've seen some of his work and will give him a try for my next haircut. read more

This place is awesome! Great customer service. They make sure you are taken care of, very courteous, nice people. My nail lady Phuong takes her time. She makes sure my nails look perfect. Even when she does my eyebrows she also looks at my skin and if she see black heads she takes them out too. All I'm saying is she goes above and beyond. The price is very reasonable especially being in Hawaii. I love coming to this place. Every time I visit my family I wait till I get to Hawaii to get my nails done. Highly recommended. You can park at the Marin Tower parking. On Sundays it's only $3 parking all day. read more

1st timer today, my grandmother and I were in search for a new place since the 2 girls we used to go to quit the other salon that we went to. We found this beautiful gem per recommendations from other family members and yelp reviews! Well come to find out the 1 girl whom my grandmother and I absolutely love (Phung i hope thats how you spell her name), moved to this salon! We are the happiest and luckiest people to have found her!! She is absolutely great at cleaning! My grandmother suffers from bad ingrown and dry skin and she is the only one that gets the job done for my grandmother!!! I had Lani today and she is just as awesome! Cleaned me very well! I don't really care for designs as I am more of the cuticle, skin cleaning type and they are the ones to clean you up!! Not to mention Phung does great designs as well!!! She does it all by hand, very creative and skilled. read more

I like this place in general- but it's not my #1 choice in nail salons. I would go here for convenience because I work downtown. You should know that they only do fake nails and fills on certain days-- not all the girls are trained...so I went to get a mani pedi and I could only get a pedicure. The place is pretty small, so you might want to call ahead. The pedi I got was basic and cheap- I think like $30 and it was nice, came with a nice leg massage. The girls were friendly and didn't try to up-sell me too much, so I am a happy customer. read more

MUST CHECK THIS OUT! What a relaxing mani pedi :) and only $35 for a basic. I love the massage chairs and music. The location is convenient and the parking is so easy- not to mention that it is public parking so very affordable. read more
