    Pedi

    Got a mani pedi from Natalie. She was lovely. The French tip was a bit rough looking but I'll be back. I like the lay out.

    My husband and I had a gift card for a Deluxe Pedicure. I left with nice color and soft legs and feet. The lady was nice but quiet most of the time. She was talking to the other lady that was working. I sat in the massage chair and relaxed. She did a great overall. My husband was happy too! Would go back again.

    My thumb nails keep breaking every time they grow

    I don't really like writing bad reviews but this experience was so bad that I feel like I should share it. I went in to get my gel x nails removed 2 months ago. I'm writing this review now because I'm still experiencing the effects of getting my nails done here. I went in just wanting to get my gel x extensions removed and to do a simple gel nail polish on my natural nail. The tech wrapped my gel x nails in foil with acetone like how they're supposed to but instead of waiting for the acetone to actually soak off the gel x she kept unwrapping them and drilling them off then wrapping them back up again. She drilled my nails so much to remove the gel x that my natural nails got extremely thin and damaged. Then she told me that she was going to put on a coat of some kind of polish to make it "very strong". I had no idea how badly they were damaged so I just agreed. After polishing my nails they looked pretty good. However, the next day my nails started breaking after doing normal everyday tasks and I realized my real nails were pretty much paper thin under the polish. It was so bad that they were breaking and getting snagged on clothes, my hair and other things and then they would tear off. It hurt and I was scared that they were going to get caught and really rip on something so I called the salon and went in to get the nails that were torn fixed. The tech that fixed them did add an even stronger extension to a few of my nails but it's been 2 months and my nails have continued to break everytime they start growing out and I've even had blood under my nails a few times. My thumb nails are torn all the way down to my finger bed where it starts to feel sensitive. This was the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. My nails are only half way grown out since then so they're going to continue to break until the new, stronger nail grows out completely which will probably be another 2 months. I feel like a professional nail tech would know not to rush removing gel x or acrylic and to actually let it soak off instead of being impatient and trying to just drill the heck out of it or else the nail will be damaged. Extremely unprofessional.

    Gel mani

    What a lovely little spot! I was in town and decided to get a mani-pedi after giving my nails a break. A hidden gem tucked away in Wailuku, this place is calm, clean, and happy! Nina did a wonderful job with my hands and feet and the entire staff is welcoming. My only problem-there are sooooooo many polishes to choose from. If I need nails done again on Maui-I'm coming here!

    Always a great experience!!! Relaxing, calm atmosphere. Kim lee is the very best! Lots of options to choose from for your pedicure needs.

    Halloween Nails

    It was a Monday, I'd just finished errands, and decided to get my nails done on a whim before waiting for my grand niece to get dropped off from school. Found this cute nail salon on Yelp, and thought I'd give it a try. I had no appointment, and came as a walk in. They were able to accommodate me for a mani - pedi. I ended up being adventurous and wanted a design, in which the nail tech said she loved doing Halloween designs, so I left it to her. She did a fantastic job!! Designs are cute and not over the top (to me at least). I got a deluxe spa pedicure afterwards. Long story short, I felt comfortable, friendly service, not rushed, and I didn't flinch at the prices. Very happy and will come back again next time I'm back home.

We talked and laughed the whole time, and she really listened to what I wanted for my hair color and cut. I'm so happy with how my hair turned out -- I've gotten so many compliments! They even offered me a glass of wine and took my picture after she finished -- such a nice touch. This is the salon experience I've always wanted Kudos to Carrie and the entire Salon 253 team.

Parking is limited so I tend to park at the Baseball field nearby and walk down to their location. They have never disappointed with their selection of Master & Senior Stylists to their Junior/Student Stylists trained in house. Not to mention, it's a beautiful salon with freshly cut tropical flowers all over and a mod and boho vibe that I esthetically love! They always ask me if I want a drink too whether it's sparkling water, coffee or a Mimosa. I've supported both Senior and Junior Stylists alike. I do try if possible to stick to the Junior Stylists for a more affordable option but of course they all become Senior Stylists eventually. But I do believe the Junior Stylists can be 50% off the Master or Senior Stylists. Sometimes they have promos that include a Free Haircut on my Vagaro app. Today I got a Full Balayage and Haircut. I asked for more Ash Blonde tones since my top was already showing my dark roots. I also wanted French/Curtain bangs and some face framing layers for my cut. After the foil painting that took about 1-2 hours, I was taken to the Shampoo and Conditioning station which included a relaxing scalp massage. I had Toner applied twice to bring the color I wanted to life. Along with my haircut, the whole process lasted maybe 4 1/2 hours so if you do a Full Balayage, make sure you eat before you get started and prepare to have a salon day! Downside is that Good Hair isn't cheap by any means plus this is Maui. I paid $375 (not including the 20% tip) for the Balayage and Haircut. I believe my Stylist Shayla is now a Senior Stylist but I've seen many of the talented Stylists over the years, Ace, Manelle, Sara, Chloe and Shayla. If you're looking for amazing, feel beautiful and confident hair, make sure you save up and go to Salon 253! What I appreciate is that they take special detailed care to make sure your hair cut and color is what you're looking for and the ladies are all so friendly and sweet too.
