When did they start charging $10 to remove you nail polished and not include it in the price nor note it anywhere in the nail salon? Got the Deluxe with Linda. The whole pedi service was less than 30 mins and Bill came out to $52. Been here a few times and this will definitely be my last. She didn't even shave or use pumice stone on my heels. I'm sure that would be an extra $10. So disappointed with how these nail salons are inflating the prices!!! read more

DO NOT EVER GO HERE! EVER!!!!!!!!! This is my personal experience from yesterday when I needed to get a pedicure and manicure but didn't have time so u went for convince! Walked in signed in and was directed right away to choose my color than to have a seat, my pedicure was ok nothing spectacular but it was OK! My manicure was horrible! The same tech did my manicure and was just rough with the filing, rude when I told her I wasn't tipping in cash! So yes they ask you to pay before they paint your nails?! Ok fine but just rude to ask for the tip amount before the job is done! My manicure looks like trash! I had to tell her that she missed the edges of a few nails!! Than my thumb touched my other finger and rubbed off paint..... SO THIS TECH JUST PAINTED RIGHT OVER THE SPOT but never took off the paint and repainted! Now the top coat!!!!! It's like they used some cheap product that has no shine! My nails were painted messy and she kept pushing for gel polish but I kept saying NO THANK YOU! Very unprofessional and very poor job! Wasted my time & money! read more

Diamond Nails - Worse manicure EVER! - Nail Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love pampering myself, so I went in for my routine pedicure. I decided to try out a new salon at the mall. I was told to pick out a color, so I picked out my usual favorite bright, happy shade of red and sat down at the indicated whirlpool chair. When I first dipped my feet into the water it was FREEZING cold. I should have taken that as a forewarning sign of the unprofessionalism to come. "Who does your nails?" she asked. I said that I usually went to a salon out in Hawaii Kai. "Oh. Why do you go out there? What do they do?" I explained that it was convenient for me to go there because I worked nearby. "Oh. Why do you work all the way out there?" I briefly explained where I worked and what I did for a living. "They cut your nails short hah?" (Simply stated with a look of disgust.) Grrr... At this point I was starting to get a bit irritated, so I overconfidently stated that I was a runner and liked my nails short for that very reason. So there. That will keep her quiet. (Two seconds later...) "Do you like that color?" (She looked appalled.) No, I only chose it because I like to wear colors that I find hideous and repulsive. To make a long story short, the patronizing tone and condescending attitude only continued, so I cut my usual twenty percent tip in half. I don't think I'll be returning. Service: ** Ambiance: ** Value: *** read more

Won't be coming back. See pictures and you will see why. I could have done a better job myself. I do like my pedi though. The male manicurist that did my pedi did an awesome job with the massage. He was also very friendly. However, the person that did my mani was horrible. You can see the bubbles and how horrible my mani looks. Also, it wasn't a very welcoming environment. The workers there doesn't want to be there. I'd suggest you go elsewhere. read more

They have credit card fee, extreme price hike and actual work is subpar. If I had other options near me than I wouldn't go.

My husband and I went in for a basic mani/pedi. The salon was clean and both of our technicians were thorough, meticulous, and very friendly. We did not make an appointment but were still seen within minutes of walking in. The shop is in a good location and easy to find. read more

I've tried many many nail salons on this island and they were ok, however, my nails always chipped after a few days, broke completely, or I had a very rushed service. Diamond nails every-time has been great. My gel manicures actually last and they take their time on my services. This past trip I had Katie, and she was a sweetheart. definitely will be coback. ***Update*** Although my previous review was positive. After a few months I realized that I must have just got lucky those couple times. This place is a mess. Not just with the services provided, but the sanitation as well. The sanitation however is so bad that I will not be coming back. Old crusty tools, that never come out of the sterilizer. I never see them clean the bowls after pedicures, and the shop is always dusty and dirty and disorganized all around. Lastly the staff will start whispering to each other when you correct them on poor service when you're the one paying for a service ‍ Overall just a nightmare. I would suggest finding a different nail salon that doesn't risk your health. read more

Best nail device ever. I did French nails and it was superb. The pedicures was great while setting in this luxurious massage chair. I loved everything about this place. read more

This is my second visit to this nail shop. It is clean compared to some places, but it's not the cream of the crop clean. There is a fair selection of polish to choose from on the walls. The last time I came, the lady recommended the gel color for my pedicure so I thought "why not?" Well, my ignorance of the process definitely showed when I came back. So I was going to have a deluxe pedicure, but somehow got only the basic pedicure. They didn't take the Polish off prior to the pedicure. They did the pedicure and then had someone come over to remove the gel polish. I didn't know that your toes have to use the drill to remove the polish then soak with acetone covered cotton wrapped in foil and then it is scraped off. This is an extra $5 charge which I was unaware of when I came in, but rather when I paid. I thought it was part of the process since they can't just put polish in top of polish. I also had wanted a design, but the girl had already wiped down my toes and didn't realize I wanted a design though my toes had a very nice design last time and I had mentioned it. I think she was tired and wasn't really into doing a design by her expression. It's probably better I didn't because I would have probably paid for something that wasn't what I was hoping for. They got busy right after I arrived. They were a bit short staffed I guess, but had 7 people already working on folks and 5 people patiently waiting. They do a nice job and I'll come back. I like that I got the 5% discount from Yelp. It helped to offset the unexpected cost of removing the gel polish. I'm grateful that my big came out to $54 with tax and before tip. read more

Okay this is an update to my last post I got my nails done last Saturday redone 2 on Monday because because my big toe the gel just peeled right off Saturday night and my dip nails one was already chipped off It is now Friday so not even a week later and three dip nails are chipped including the one that was fixed Monday if this was the case I wouldn't have paid so much money and got regular nail polish if it was going to look this bad read more

So I went too diamond nails and got a full set with no polish cost $59 and these were short nails. After 2 days my first nail broke. I went back and the fixed the nail. However, when I went home I noticed there was moisture in the new nail. I went back the same day and showed them and they took off the nail and fixed it. The next day another nail on my other hand broke. I called them and they told me to come back but who wants to go back for a fourth time wothin 5 days when the nails are shitty? I can't believe I had 2 nails break with 5 days of getting them and that I paid 59 for this terrible job. Never going back and if you want to waste your money on poor quality nails then this is your place. read more

I normally don't write reviews but Honestly feel I need to share my experience. On 10/4/18 I went in to have a Gel Mani and pedicure done for my Wedding. The lady (can't recall her name) started my pedicure and felt as if she rushed it. I let that slide but before starting my nails I told her something happened to my big toe that I could see something on it, she told me "oh it must be the dust" and did nothing about it.. She then started my nails and I asked for an ombré, she said she could do it based on the pictures I showed. During the process of the fade, I asked her "is the fade going to stay like that cause it looks streaky?" her reply "no, it'll be pretty". She put another coat of this creamy color over it so I figured ok she's still working on it. Before I new it she was massaging my hands and said that we were done. I could not believe my eyes, they were the UGLIEST nails I've ever seen!! I told the lady I don't like it, and she said paying together or separate? I looked and her and said I don't like it. I walked over to my sister in law (who was being worked on by someone else) showing her my nails, and the lady working on her asked to see, after looking she said I could come back after she was done and she'll redo them. I came back, the First Lady had to take off the gel polish. I told her I have cuts on my fingers from when she cut my cuticles, and shortly after put my hand in acetone! I reminded her again as it was open cuts, so she started to drill the gel off and KEPT ON DRILLING MY SKIN THAT HAD THE CUTS!! Mind you it was my ring finger that she kept doing that to. Finally I got made and told her again, your drilling on my finger with the cut and quickly we were done. The next lady, did a pretty good job. A lot better then the first. The only thing I'm disappointed about, is that i thought gel was suppose to stay for weeks. I did it Thursday afternoon and today a big junk of it peeled off, so did my sister in laws. Sorry diamond nails, I never had a problem with you folks before. Idk what's going on but it definitely wasn't a good experience. read more

I flew back to Oahu from Kona and headed straight to the nail shop. Amy was the nail tech that assisted me. She was very kind and let me change my nail color last minute (before painting any nails). She was the 1st left handed manicurist I've ever had so that was cool. Problem lies in the fact that 2 days after my manicure, one if my nails broke. This is not normal. I can run my manicure over 3 weeks when I go to my regular nail lady. When the first nail broke, I noticed that the too coat wasn't from edge to edge of the nail, I don't know if that contributed to my nail breaking but it definitely isn't the level of quality I'm used to. My cuticles were also not done as thoroughly am I'm accustomed to but I can deal. Today, 1 week since I got my manicure done, another nail broke and now I'm annoyed because I need to get my manicure redone. I really loved the color too. A gel manicure should last for at LEAST a week without breaking. Thats not the case here unfortunately... read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I come here all the time. Get my mani, pedi, and waxed eyebrows. They help me so much and I cant thank them enough. Always show them what I have in mind for my nails and they give me what I ask ten times better. Unfortunately my friend convince me to go somewhere else for once. It was a mistake!! The other place screwed up my nails and I dislike how they did it. I had acrylic & gel, showed them a picture and wasn't even close to what I wanted. Didn't want to go go back to the place before to let them fix it. 1) it was not the shape I wanted, 2) color I wanted was matte and it didn't look like it or how I wanted it, 3) some of my nails look crooked, 4) you vould see EVERY flaws & mistakes. Called diamond nails to help me fix it and they are just MIRACLE WORKERS!! I didn't care about paying the prize to fix, I just needed to change what was damaged. Now my nails are SO much better and makes me fall in love over and over just looking at them. So next time, i will drag my friends here so matter what. read more

This was my second time going to Diamond Nails to get a pedicure. The first time I went it was a young slender lady that did my pedicure. I don't recall her name but she did an amazing job. This time a lady named Candy did my pedicure. She did a horrible job, to the point I didn't even allow her to put polish on my toes. If you go to Diamond Nails avoid going to Candy. read more

My daughter and I went in for a full set and pedicures today. When making our appointments and when we walked in we told them we wanted the special which was $50 each. Apparently the special only covered regular polish. I opted for pink and which which I knew would be more expensive but no dollar amount was mentioned to me. When my daughter sat down to get her nails done they showed her color swatches to pick out her color, never mentioning it was gel and an additional cost. When it was time to pay the total was $180 because we didn't get just regular polish so that means you pay full price for all services. If you are up selling your customers on products you should absolutely be talking with them about cost. The work was ok but definitely not worth $90 per person. read more

I've been going here for years, everyone is so friendly. Kristen is amazing! The prices are very reasonable.

This is probably the worst pedicure I've ever gotten. The service was horrible, the quality was bad and my the person giving me my pedicure clearly did not give any Fucks about the product not the customer. I will never go here again!! Save yourself some trouble and go somewhere else. read more

I only give two stars cause I have had one decent time but biased on this trip it would be nothing. $96 for a gel pedicure for myself and pedicure for my man. The didn't even know how to take the gel off without damaging my nail. I told them a few times you file it a little bit and soak it with acetone and then it comes right off. Don't use a dremel on my nails!!!! I don't understand why that's such a hard thing to understand. Yet what happens they use one anyways! Not to mention I live at the beach I get sand down in my toes like crazy so yes I want you to "dig" a little and get that out and that didn't happen either. This place just ruined it for me I was really hoping they would continue the good work but nope my toes look like crap read more

First visit. At 5pm there were about seven manicurists and each had a customer. For two of us getting a regular manicure, we waited about 10 mins. The lady at the front was very nice. One of the two dudes there took care of my nails and did a great job. Great massage, too! My mom-in-law had her last manicure back in August of last year, so her nails were pretty long (and tough to clip from what I heard). She decided on a French manicure and it came out great, which was done by the other dude. I wish I took a before and after photo of her nails! I'll be back to try the spa pedicure someday. :-) read more

So since my husband is out of town, I decided to get some pampering. After reading reviews of the local nail salons I decided on Diamond nails.it's conveniently located down the street from me. I came and got a regular pedicure ($25) and got a flower with a crystal center on the big toes. The pedicure itself was nice. She did a good job massaging my feet and legs, which is quite important to me. The girls did not speak in another language while working, also a plus. My total came to $32.45 before tip. Not sure what exactly the extra charges were from. Nail art starts at $3 and each crystal is .50, maybe the flowers were more than $3 each? I don't know, but they are cute. read more

I've been coming here for awhile now and referring so many people as well. I live pretty far, so i travel to salt lake just to come here. Lately, my pedicures have been getting shorter and shorter and it always seems like it's rushed. This last time i went, i took two friends with me and convinced them both to get diamond pedicures (which is two steps up from the basic, and what i always get). I was the last one to start, and the first one to finish. Then as the weekend went by, i noticed my toe really hurt and by Monday, it was hard to walk. I went back and the owner was very nice and accommodating and helped fix the problem. The same thing happened to my friends toe, and she had a different person, but she is too scared to go back and let them touch it. I'm going to give it one more try because i got the name of the person who gave me a really good pedicure in the past. If this next pedicure is a fail, I'm back on the hunt for a new place. read more

Water began as ice cold then too hot. Didn't ask if I wanted filed or cut just began cutting toe nails and didn't shape nicely at all. One coat of polish on nails clear and white one each. About to cut nails I had to stop him "no just shape please" then went to wash hands with no soap someone passed me as I was trying to see if I could get soap out no assistance no replacing it just ignored. Then once again one coat of white and clear. Then price was higher than what was told to over the phone. So a true waste of $53 for a French mani & pedi. Won't be back! read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. I usually never leave poor reviews, but their technicians were very rough and not professional that I had to say something. I had a mani pedi done yesterday-my cuticles were not cut properly and both of toenails were cut into so deeply that they're now infected. Very careless and disappointed, would stay away. read more

Don't expect your favorite nail tech to be there when you go back. I guess they don't like extra customers.

I do not get pedicures often although I LOVE getting them. So since I took today off, I promised myself to go. Question was, "Where?" I was in the area so decided to try Diamond Nails at Salt Lake Shopping Center. I went in a little after 9am & was pleased to be able to sign in & immediately choose a color. The lady who greeted me was friendly & pleasant. I liked the fact that you can't see the pedi areas, private & maybe a smidge close quarters. The man who did my pedicure was the best EVER. I abuse my feet (volleyball, too lazy to put moisturizer, walking barefoot outside) so told him so. He laughed & said it was his job to fix. The foot & calf massage that was included with the Deluxe was GREAT! Loosened up my Achilles area & calf which are always tight from vball. The nail work was excellent & I am very happy. Will def return even though I don't live nearby. read more

I got a acrylic fill & nail change for $48. Not worth it for the sloppy work. I usually get them done at Couture Nails but they were booked because it's prom season, so my friend and I came to check this place out since it's close to home. 1. The color did not match the color I chose, they said it's darker on display. So I chose a dark wine red color & came out to bright red, told her we need to change this and she just added just one layer of a darker color. I originally told her I wanted a burgundy color & showed a picture but she said they didn't have that color. 2. The lady that service my friend accidentally chose a different color than what she originally picked out. For a regulars gel change she charged her $40. Honestly, it's cheaper at Couture Nails & the nail Tec is more honest with the pricing when we want to add things on, I got charged extra $5 for matte... this is the first time I'm being charged, it's just a top coat. I guess it's different where you go. read more
