After looking up several nail salons I decided to try this one. To start off it's in the middle of downtown they don't have there own parking so you have 3 options. Parking garage next door which is 4.50 for 30mins. 1.50 for every 30mins for a parking garage a little father or you have the Walmart parking. Which if you want validation for 2 hours you must spend $20 in Walmart. So parking sucks. After I found where it was because it's not the easiest thing to find due to having to park somewhere else. I still went in with hopes of it being good with the rating on here however I'm not happy and won't be returning. I got dip nails for $50 which I find high as I used to pay $30-35 at most. I also asked how much to clean up and cut the cuticles would be. The lady doing my nails said first she will do the dip and it will cover them. Then she will do it if I see any still. Not what I wanted and not what I asked for. I asked how much it will be so that it would be done before to make sure it was taken care of. So now I still have extra cuticles and some hang nails. I asked for square shape with the edge slight rounded. What I got was round with slightly square on top and wide so they look like acrylic and not natural. On top of that which made me write this review was the finish coat is already peeling. I literally just got them done 24hrs ago. A waste of money!! Also if you aren't a regular they won't offer you the rewards program they have. read more

No frills, quickie nail salon that will get you & out in 45 minutes. It's $40 for a gel mani (not sure if they charge for gel removal bc I didn't have any) and they have charts of colors to choose from. If you're super picky like me, you'll notice things like uneven filing or straggling cuticles. However, one cannot be THAT picky if you're trying to get cute nails during your lunch break. Overall, a great option in the Downtown area. read more

Salon is very clean, owners are super nice and Nori does a great job doing acrylics. Many of the downtown salons do not do acrylic nails. So I was very happy to have found this hidden gem! Very responsive, if you send a message through Yelp, you'll get a super fast response.

JJ Union Nails - Nails by Nore! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have been here 3-4 times and will not return in the future. I really, really wanted to like this place, as it was very close to my work place. The employees are friendly and the salon is nice so I gave one star for each. However, the polish bubbles like crazy here and did it each and every time! Seriously, so many bubbles. I don't know what's wrong with their polish because this never happens at any other place I've been to and doesn't happen to me when I do my nails at home. For that reason, I will not return. read more

Jenny did a beautiful job with my nails and they even opened a little early to take me before work. I normally don't get my nails done because I do a fine job on my own, but I wanted something fun for my birthday. I got a gel manicure, a bit pricey, it came out to $55 in the end with the added nail art, but the quality was so good I don't mind. I'll be back. read more

Lovely pedicure, great customer service. I went for my birthday pedi, just happened to see their sign on my way to work and popped my head in.

I had a super hard time w parking but honestly it was worth it to meet the two ladies that helped me and my friend. Also it was only $85 for gel mani pedi?!?! A steal read more

The best!! I got a gel manicure on a Saturday morning (appts only on Saturday). The shop was quiet and clean. I imagine it's a bit more lively on a weekday when walking are allowed, but it was nice to have quiet. I wanted a pretty simple design, plain with hearts on one nail. I love them. A lot of times when you get gel nails they end up feeling too thick...not this time.my nails feel strong, but still thin like my real nail should feel! I love that they have a rewards program that's kept track electronically, so you don't have to worry about losing your rewards card. Best part for me is i can walk here from where i live. I'll be back in a few weeks!! read more

The owner Jenny is super nice and very quick to respond to messages via Yelp. It was very convenient and helpful to be able to submit an appointment request via Yelp, and within an hour of my original inquiry, I had a pedicure appointment scheduled for the very next day! I was also able to add on a quick massage too, since my lower back was a little sore from sitting too long at my computer at work. Hom provided a really great massage, and it was followed by a great pedicure (sorry I didn't catch my nail tech's name). The chair massager was really good too! The atmosphere was nice and relaxing and it was a warm jovial setting, with the staff laughing and joking around with each other. I plan to return, especially since they have a rewards program. I only wish that they have validated parking options or later evening or weekend hours. I kinda had to sneak out of work early to make my appointment happen (my boss gave me permission though after a tough week). read more

Conveniently located in town. Staff is very friendly. A lot of options for color. My first mani pedi went wonderfully. Would definitely go back. Love my nails! read more

Came here for gel mani and pedi. The ladies working here are hilarious and super friendly, but unfortunately the work just wasn't up to my standards. For the gel mani she painted way too close to the sides and after a few days all my nails were peeling up and getting caught in my hair. I expect a gel mani to last two weeks and to need to be replaced due to growth and not peeling polish. I'm here on work-cation and have been busy all week and today when I had some downtime I figured I'd give them a call and see if they'd be willing to fix them to make up for the poor work quality and now I see they're closed all weekend so I'm extra disappointed :( read more

The techs were attentive to all the customers. My tech made sure I was comfortable and that I liked my color. It's a small establishment and quiet, which I appreciate. I'll be going back. read more

Yes - once again Yelpers have pointed me in the right direction! This nail salon delivers! I've received services from Jenny, Hong and Vivian and all were wonderful! Jenny's art skills are on point, Hong's massage is incredible, and Vivian has done my nails, nail art and massage very well! I will be requesting Vivian for my future appointments. Everyone is smiling and jovial so, the environment is very welcoming. The location is convenient as I am located downtown. Please note: The salon does not have parking in parking structure next door. read more

Booked a last minute gel pedicure appointment with Nina and she was AMAZING. She was very gentle and made my feet feel softer than ever. She took her time and didn't rush like most technicians at other nail salons do. I would give her 10 stars if I could! Highly recommended!!! read more

Loved my pedicure, disappointed in my nails. Would not recommend waxing here, took way too much off my eyebrows. **update** I received a very kind and professional message from one of the owners. Time constraints and other factors played a part in my recent experience. I would still highly recommend them for nails, but will likely choose something from their portfolio for design next time. read more

I m glad prices are reasonable. They carry powder dip which is a biggie because they don't have it every where. They work with your time slots if possible. Actual workmanship is ok but everything else made me add the extra star. read more

5 Stars and almost 100 Reviews on Yelp? The Reviews dont lie, I've actually been coming here since they opened last year but shame on me! I haven't written a review yet. I'll get straight to why they are so Awesome! Pros: Location: For those that work downtown this is perfectly located on Bishop Street behind Ninja Sushi just look for the sign outside and walk down the hallway. If you leave her a voicemail Jenny will return your call promptly, during business hours they answer the phone. Others have parked next door at Finance Factors and have gotten a validation or parked at Walmart down the street. Luckily for me I work across the street. Quality: They can do regular manicures, gel polish or acrylic. They do a Quality Job and do not rush you at all to try to free up the chair for the next customer. Because its getting more popular highly recommend making an appt, they will always try to accommodate your needs and your schedule if they can. They dont Triple book customers and make you wait forever, they do take walk ins if they can, but if they are booked they will let you know. They take pride in their business and it shows. Cleanliness: As other have written this place is clean and efficient you wont see used tools soaking in mysterious liquid and you wont die from the harsh chemical smells like other places. This place is very clean and well kept the massage chairs are great. Service: Jenny and Hong are the Dynamic Duo and are both very good! Hong gives the best foot massages (he's licensed) I've been meaning to get a massage from him soon! Don't discrimate and think Men can't give pedicures, he's good trust me. They recently hired a few other workers there but they run a tight ship and they are really good too. Their pedicures will last a month and are addicting! Loyalty: they have a 5 star rewards program and its automated so you can just enter your phone number when you go, you will get upgraded scrubs etc.. Highly recommend this nail salon, I love to go and relax in the massage chair and get a pedicure, gotta treat yourself! read more

my nails do look mostly like the picture but they are extremely think and the nail lengths aren't the same. my middle finger on my right hand is shorter than the left. when i got to the place it was 11:04 my appointment was at 11:00 one of the lady's, the manager jenny wasn't even dressed he was wrapping in some sort of blanket. she didn't do the checkerboard print correctly. and i had to get my nails redone a week later because i couldn't wash my hair well with the thickness. (charged 80$) read more

My sister and I came to this salon on Tuesday (3/15) and we had a great experience! My sister got a regular pedicure and I got a gel manicure. The salon was well maintained, and everyone working there was very friendly. There was only one other person getting their nails done when we arrived, so it was a relaxing environment! They had a pretty good selection of polish -both regular and gel. We were both happy with how our nails turned out, and I am curious to see how long my gels last (it tends to vary at each place I get them done at). Hopefully around 10-14 days! The location was also quite convenient as it was only a short walk from my apartment. It's also located nearby several restaurants and a multitude of shops, allowing you to run errands or grab something to eat either before or after your nail appointment. Definitely would recommend checking this place out, and and I will be coming back for manicures in the future. read more

Was in the area because my mother was getting a haircut and I stumbled upon this salon when yelping the nearest nail salons. It's on the first floor of the union building and can be a little hard to find; just look for the sign with a bunch of colorful balloons outside the doorway. So since the salon was, you know, in *cough* Chinatown, I expected a slightly run down salon with big "cheap deals!!" and tacky decor. Instead, I was surprised at the sight of the pristine clean white salon!as I pushed open the door, They even asked if I wanted anything to drink (and they had juice!). Even thought it was a Friday and an hour before closing, they still managed to take me in. I'm pretty sure my gel manicure was the fastest I ever got without it looking like crap. I loved how it wasn't super thick like most other salons and they managed to work with my tiny tiny preschooler size nails. I mean, have you seen them? Anyways, they're very accommodating and actually have really cute designs (unlike some places that just ask "you like flower?") Their prices are pretty good (I posted a pic of the menu) and totally worth the service you receive. They do other things like waxing and even massages . I've been needing a good eyebrow wax since I got them threaded recently and one eyebrow is definitely lower than the other. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I took my daughter to JJ Union nails as a Saturday morning treat and absolutely loved it. Jenny & her brother Hong were so nice to us, and treated us like royalty. I had a pedicure and my daughter had a mani-pedi. We both walked away feeling like we under-paid for the quality of service we received. (oops, I suppose I shouldn't have said that outloud!). The location was a bit difficult for me to find, because I was unfamiliar with that part of downtown, but the brief hunt was worth the effort. read more

Family owned business that treats you like family... I love that about them. They're service is far more superior than any other nail salon I've ever visited. I leave a happy, satisfied customer every time. I'm fortunate that I work across the street so can walk across the street which makes it extra convenient! read more

This is my new favorite nail salon! A more friendlier environment as to what I felt at other places I've been to. Will more than likely come back here. I like how Van and Jenny were asking me what kind of nail shape I wanted and what color polish I wanted. At other places I've been to, there was no talking and it felt awkward and it was so quiet. Next time I come, I hope to have my niece with me! read more

I was looking for a nail salon to treat my mom and I before my wedding. I landed on JJ's cause of the reviews and location from our apartment. My fiance ended up coming with us and Jenny and her team was more than awesome. Extremely high quality work, awesome pampering massages and really affordable! They have a wonderful and clean facility with some stellar massage chairs! My fiance went first with a simple cleaning/buffing mani pedi. It was his first time and they did such a good job pampering him, he now wonders why all men don't do this. In fact, 3 weeks later, his nails still look great. Jenny's brother did my mom's nails and he was so incredibly patient helping her find the exact color she wanted. Since none of the colors on the wall was quite what she was looking for, he experimented with a bunch of colors, mixing and match till she was happy. Seriously, SO PATIENT! Also, my mom ruined her thumb an hour after we left and they were more than happy to take her back and touch it up. For myself, I honestly could not have been happier with my nails for Jenny. She encouraged me to do gels for the wedding so I didn't have to worry about my nails and she nailed it. She gave me the exact look I was looking for and even took it up a notch. And my pedicure still looks FLAWLESS! No idea how she did that. Also, Jenny threw in a hand scrub for me since the wedding was the next day. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had at a salon. read more

I just finished up at my first visit to JJ Union Nails and I can genuinely say that it was everything I'd hoped for and more! Josh, Noreee, and Jenny were working today and the environment is just so warm and inviting. I had a classic pedicure done by Josh and I'm 367 shades of satisfied. I haven't had the time to get a pedicure since November, so my feet were in rough shape- but now they're smooth and beautiful (or as beautiful as my feet *can* be) and the massage was heavenly. I cannot wait for my next visit, likely a manicure. I literally logged on to Yelp to find a place to get my pedi, and they were the nearest and had the best reviews. This was an excellent life decision and the service far exceeded my expectations. Thank you again to Josh, Noreee, and Jenny for being awesome! See you soon! [Edit] Came in to get my first manicure in months and they did not disappoint! Wonderful work, yet again! read more

Found via YELP! Was looking for salon that had massage too. Called the same day for an appointment and got in for a mani/pedi deluxe. So worth the money to get the Pedi deluxe. Parking is a little difficult so if you do drive into this salon highly suggested to park Wal mart make a purchase and get validated. It is not cheap to park downtown. Got Jenny who did my mani! Loved it she did a great job at making sure my nails were clean down to the finisher of hand massage. Deluxe pedi was done amazing. Water was perfect and he did a great job exfoliating, massaging, cleaning all of it finishing off with painting my toes. Felt like jello after because I was so relaxed. It was really near seeing people come in because of yelp. That's how I found this place. I'll definitely recommend to others and return for more services. Thank you for a nice 1.5hours of relaxation. read more
