    Amazing service. Beautiful nails and friendly staff. Make an appointment with Danny for fancy nails. Or walk in anytime and the girls do pedicures to die for. Love the music and the massage chairs are so comfy!

    Danny is truly the best! I've been having my nails done for about 30 years and he's fast and a perfectionist!

    My favorite nail salon on the island. I am lucky enough to see Danny every few weeks and the work he does never disappoints. He is a true nail artist. I usually show him a few inspiration photos which always turns into his own masterpiece. The other gals who work in the salon are also awesome. They definitely offer one of the best pedicures on island.

    Called ahead and came in as a walk in. Staff is very friendly & professional. Atmosphere is nice.

    I had my nails done here while visiting family and friends in Kailua. They were able to fit me in quickly and did a beautiful job - classic pedicure and gel polish mani. The staff was friendly and helpful. When I'm back in the area, I will definitely stop in again.

    Has been my go-to spot for a while now but the quality of work depends on who does your nails. Just got home and took a closer look at my polish, really sloppy job. Also the massage was done w the a scrub instead of lotion and my skin is raw and burning. Can't believe I paid 50$ for that....

    What i asked for

    What I asked for versus what I got. They do no prep and just a sloppy job unfortunately. It's also very expensive I was charged $70 for these and $80 for a pedicure... My appointment was set to 10:00am and I didn't even get seen till almost 11. Just unprofessional.

    This nail salon is near my Pilate studio s so me and my friend decided to get a pedicure before…read moreclass. We love our Pilates teacher, so we also got her a $40 gift certificate. We called earlier in the day and made an appointment for 2 gel pedicures. It's a really small salon so appointments are probably recommended, but it wasn't busy when we went in- so walk-ins are probably OK too. There is a free parking lot out front, making it super convenient! The pedicure was actually pretty quick, I think we were in and out in around 30 minutes. There were just a few things that made it more of an OK experience for me. First thing is that they have a sign to "request to see the price menu". It's not like the pedicure was extremely expensive or anything, I just think that folks should be able to know beforehand what the service they are receiving costs. The other thing is that they had asked multiple times if we wanted to get manicures. I didn't mind the first time, but after declining multiple times it got awkward.

Will be looking for a new shop as this place just has hit bottom with me. Manicure today was horrible. Had to tell her to redo it because my nails weren't cut and filed evenly. It was as if a ten year old had taken nail clippers and chopped off my nails the best they could. If you drive up and see the place empty you'll know people have read my review.

Since this was decided overnight we didn't give them any warning. But they took it in stride. There were three customers there when 5 of us arrived between 9-9:30. There were four girlies getting pedicures, one set of acrylic nails and one gel manicure. We all walked out the door around 11:30am. I think this is spectacular timing which included a few other customers entering for services who weren't turned away and thrown right into the rotation. Personally I got my gel off and regular nail polish on my nails. A week later and they are still looking good. No chips! Everything I encountered was clean and sanitary. They also lent us a cart so we could set out some breakfast treats for our little party. I recommend this gem of a business and maybe we will give them a heads up next time!

    I've been getting pedicures (and the occasional manicure) here for about a year. After today's…read moreexperience, I will not be going back and will be taking my business elsewhere. The woman I had today was extremely pushy from the beginning, and spent the entire time trying to get me to spend more money on the services. When I asked for regular polish for my pedicure, she told me I should get gel. I politely declined. After I declined, she circled back and said "Okay. So I do gel." I again, said I did not want gel. Finally, when I went to tell her the color I wanted for my toenails (from the booklets I was given), she tells me the color I picked is gel only. Usually, when I pick a color, the employee will confirm whether I want the color in gel or regular, as the colors shown usually have both options. This time, I was told I couldn't do the color at all unless I did gel. Rather than argue, I just picked another color, but it was clear this was a third attempt to get me to do gel on my toes. For the manicure, I originally said I wanted gel. I was given the usual books of gel & polish to flip through, but the woman today also brought me several others. She told me they were "new" and "very nice". But still said they were gel polish options. I actually decided to try one of those options. Now, I figured it would probably be a little pricier (even though the woman never mentioned that), just because the woman was pushing them. Also, they had an ombré look to a lot of them, so they didn't actually look like traditional gels. From that point on, I was AGAIN, pressured into spending more money. I had to tell the woman TWICE that I did not want her to put acrylic nails on me. After that, she mentioned something about "doing the gel". And made a comment of "it doesn't have chemicals, it's nicer." But didn't specify further. I assumed she was just talking about the gel I had picked, since it was clearly a different gel than the usual ones I've picked in the past. After seeing the final price, it's clear she probably added on another cost for whatever gel option she did mid manicure. Then, she asked me if I wanted her to do ombré. Now, this was confusing to me because the color I picked had an ombré look to it in the sample. I wasn't sure what she meant, and tried to clarify by asking a follow up question of "Is the color I picked ombré? Or is this additional?" She responded with "I show you." So I figured she would do a nail, show me, and ask if I wanted that. NOPE. She just went ahead and did "ombré", for the very SHEER color I picked. The end result of which, looks like I have very faint champagne sparkles on the top half of my nails, fading down to what looks like natural nail color for the second half of my nails. Overall, it looks like a child did my nails, lost interest halfway through, and didn't finish. She never asked me if I liked what she was doing throughout this process, and I actually wasn't even aware she was done with the nails until she told me to wash my hands. After washing my hands, I came back, and she was up at the register for me to check out. She never touched my cuticles, except for clipping off any odd cuticles interfering with the gel. Barely did any of the usual "manicure" things. She basically just wanted me to spend as much money as possible, while also never discussing with me all these up-charges she was throwing in there throughout (found out after, ombré is $10 extra). The final kicker is when I went to check out. She pulled up my total, and at first, it said a total of $50 for the deluxe pedicure. Which, was perfectly normal. But then she's trying to put in the manicure, as I'm standing there looking at the charges on the screen. She then tells me to go and sit and wait in one of the chairs near the register. So I said okay, thinking the machine was frozen for a second or something. She calls me back after a couple of minutes, and here's what I REALLY didn't like most about everything. I go back to the counter to pay, and the screen with the itemized charges is gone, it just shows a lump total of $134!! She pulled it up to the final payment screen, skipping the itemized page altogether. Now, I know my pedicure was $50. So my "gel manicure" that I figured might be a LITTLE more expensive than normal... wound up costing $84!! When I went to pay via credit card, I literally held my card up to the machine to scan, she reached OVER the counter, grabbed my card, and shoved it in the machine. Which was just extremely inappropriate and unnecessary. It was literally like she wanted to show the total as quickly as possible so I didn't ask any questions, and she just wanted me to pay ASAP. The whole thing was an example of this business, and specifically this woman, trying to take advantage and just up-charge for anything and everything without being clear and upfront about the additional charges. I 100% will not be going back here. See the attached picture for my $84 ombré manicure.
