    I originally booked an appointment on Sunday and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. However, Lisa, the owner, was incredibly kind and understanding and invited me back to have my nails redone at no charge. She made sure I was happy with the final result and really showed how much she cares about her customers and the quality of their work. I truly appreciate how professionally she handled the situation and went out of her way to make things right. When I walked in, they were very welcoming and provided me with snacks and a drink.

    Lovely and clean interior!

    My first time visiting K1! I've been wanting to come for a nail appointment, I had some free time over the weekend and decided to give them a call to see if they could accommodate me for a same day appointment. I was able to get in within 20 min. As soon as I walked in I was amazed by the clean and modern decor. They asked me if I wanted a drink and was offer tea or water and since I was getting a pedicure and they sat me in a spa chair brought over a cute tray of goodies, my tea, and a phone holder. The service was great. My manicurist was gentle and didn't bat an eye when I asked to change the color I chose since it wasn't too my liking. She even grabbed a few other options to make sure I was happy with my color. The overall atmosphere is relaxing and gives a luxurious feel. The price was decent and definitely worth it. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for a nail salon with clean standards and excellent service.

    Was back in Honolulu for a wedding and needed to get my nails and my partner's nails done. I reached out to K1 based off my amazing experience the last time I was here and they were so quick to respond! They were very accommodating on the last minute scheduling (less than 24 hours) and I was able to get both appointments scheduled. The service, atmosphere and vibe was exactly how I remembered it and they were still so warm. I had a new technician who was very gentle and detail oriented and one of the best shaping I've had. Highly recommend and it's my go to spot whenever I'm back.

    New to this color!! Liking it a lot!! Thanks Yumi Feb 2026

    This is my second visit to K1 Aesthetic Spa. I totally love the vibe here.... So fancy and pampering!! It's so relaxing, clean, organized, and comfortable. It's located By Ala Moana with the entrance on Kapiolani Boulevard. It's a gated parking but when you pull up to the gate opens.- as well when you exit it opens on its own. Parking is free. Today I had a manicure and a pedicure. Yumi did my hard gel fills. And Vicky did my pedicure. The services were done simultaneously. And both of them were too well together. That's the whole vibe in this salon. Everyone works together. I appreciate that they constantly ask if the shape is ok before moving on to the next step. As well as if the color and design are OK. So nice that they care. And it's nice that the lighting to cure the nails does not burn. And neither does their filing. Nice! Yup I definitely have my next appointment made.

    Comfy pedicure chair! The drawer pulls out after you sit, so easy to get into for a senior/balance issues.

    I contacted several salons looking for an accessible pedicure chair for my mom, who recently had hip surgery and uses a wheelchair but can stand with assistance. This salon responded within 10 minutes--even at 10pm--and was incredibly kind, asking thoughtful questions about how they could accommodate her. Many places never responded, so I booked right away. When we arrived, the staff were just as wonderful in person. My mom could easily stand and sit in the pedicure chair from the front, and they were very attentive in helping her move comfortably. She loved the phone holder and relaxing jazz music. The restroom was also wheelchair accessible. Mom looked so comfy locked in her chair with her snacks for her pedi that I asked to change my mani to a pedi, but they offered to do both at the same time -next to mom! So I ended up getting a gel mani and pedi, and everything felt very pampering and efficient and ended at the same time! I upgraded to a cat-eye gel, an expensive upgrade but the color is gorgeous. A week later my nails and toes still look brand new--no chips or lifting--and I've gotten several compliments. I've done my own nails for years, but you can definitely tell these were professionally done. The staff even helped us all the way back to the lobby in the pouring rain. Yes, it was more expensive than many other places, but it was Mom's birthday and it was well worth it for such a thoughtful and accommodating experience! We'll surely return!

    I always love trying new nail salons so I was really excited to try K1 after seeing all the other amazing reviews/pictures. Overall, my experience was good (3.5 stars but there's no half stars on Yelp). I liked how easy it was to park, and that it was free. It's one of those parking garages where you buzz in and then the gate opens automatically when you want to leave. In terms of the pedicure itself, it was quite pricey. I initially booked a regular pedicure which is $45 on the site. After sitting down the lady asked if I wanted regular or deluxe and I decided to go with the deluxe because it wasn't too clear what the difference was and I didn't want a quick/basic pedi. I think they could be a little more transparent by offering a price sheet with the differences! My pedicure ended up being $95 after tip, which comparatively is close to what I pay for a gel manicure with a simple design at other salons. They have limited regular polish colors and up charge if you want a certain brand +$5 (like their Chanel polish). I think this was one of the priciest pedicures I have paid. K1's salon feels clean and is well decorated, but the water smelled a little stale and wasn't that hot. Not a fault of the salon, but Kapiolani area can get a little sketchy and a homeless man even walked in while I was getting my pedicure. Overall, this was a nice treat. I ended up loving the polish color I chose, and the subtle touches like asking if I want something to drink and providing a snack. But I'd only come back if I couldn't get an appointment elsewhere, or for the convenience of parking/proximity to my house.

    I was not happy with the last manicure/pedicure from a spa close to my place. So I decided to search for a new one. I came across this fairly new spa that had some good reviews. I decided to give it a try. I used Yelp's to check on availability. Someone from the spa responded and answered my messages promptly. Today I got my manicure and deluxe pedicure. I appreciate the fact that they used plastic liner for the foot bath which several places I went before didn't do that. It always worries me if they don't use disposable plastic liner. The other nice touch was that they had curtain separately for privacy. The manager (maybe the owner) also offered me tea and some snack and turned on the massage chair for me. Both estheticians who worked on my nails and toe nails were very thorough. I could tell the difference than the previous spa I went to. One of the nail estheticians suggested me the grand opening offerings for the different level of gift cards. I decided to get one to take advantage of the free hand spa treatment. All the polishes and clear coating were done nicely. I would recommend this place because of the quality of the service, value and ambiance. There is also free parking

    I hadn't gotten my nails done in a long time, so I was really excited. The salon was clean, the staff was friendly, and I got the design I wanted. The nails look elegant, and it's too early to comment on durability since it's only been a day. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that the gel wasn't applied very close to the cuticles. There are noticeable gaps on several nails, which makes them look a little grown out even though they're brand new. I hope this is something they can pay a little more attention to in the future because otherwise I had a great experience.

    This nail salon near Ala Moana is fairly new--about 6 months in--and I wanted to give them a try. I booked an appointment for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The nail tech was very knowledgeable about their products and explained the differences between the types of gel. There's an extra $20 charge if you want a harder gel, and I opted for their organic gel brand, Moding, which was an additional $5. It's nice that they offer different options and are upfront about pricing. The gel manicure turned out beautifully. She shaped my nails perfectly, showed me how the colors would look on me beforehand, and worked quickly and efficiently. You can tell she knew exactly what she was doing. For the pedicure, I went with regular polish this time, but I might choose gel next time for a longer-lasting look. The best parts of the pedi were their super comfortable chairs, the great massage, and how well they removed the dead skin--my feet felt amazing afterward! It was on the pricier side, but the experience and the quality of the products make it worth considering again. Overall, a great visit to a clean, modern salon with promising potential!

    This is one of the most luxury nail salons that I have been to on Oahu! It's so bright and clean -- not to mention their chairs are so plush and comfortable. Plus, free parking! All you have to do when you pull up to the private garage is say that you're here for a K1 nail appointment. They focus on really high quality polish and everything they had seemed so lush. I really liked all of the nail color options, the shades were separated almost by vibe / collection. I was actually between two different shades and they let me try both of them before making a decision. What really sets them apart is the little things like complimentary drinks (water, tea, soda) and snacks! They even opened up the bag of gummy bears for me. Plus, they had a stand for your phone-- so you can scroll with ease! They had a great attention to detail yet were very efficient-- I got a mani and pedi done in about an hour. I will say... it is on the pricier side. I was open to splurge a bit since I was leaving on a trip but you are definitely playing for the quality. They aren't super transparent with the pricing until after and they do charge extra for the special type of gel nail polish I picked, along with a seperate charge for removing previous gel polish (for each hand). Next time I'm in the mood to treat myself to a quality mani and pedi -- this spot is def on my list!

    K1 Aesthetic was recommended to me by a colleague who recently discovered the place herself. So I gave it a try for a self-care pedicure day. I was able to make an appointment the same day and found their location pretty easily. I opted to park at Ala Moana shopping center taking advantage of my Lexus perks for complimentary valet parking, and walked over. From the moment I stepped in, "Last Christmas" by Wham! was playing so I was excited to see them getting into the Christmas spirit, BUT it played on REPEAT the ENTIRE time I was there. At one pointed during my service I wanted to ask if they could either change the music or turn it off. It's a great Christmas song, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to listen to it on repeat for 45+ minutes. When I was directed to their "color station" to pick out a polish, I noticed a couple of fat, and I mean some chonky buggers, mosquitoes flying around in the salon. I wasn't about to allow myself to get bit, but I also didn't want to start swatting randomly in the salon. The technicians noticed and swatted at them but after killing them, I noticed that none of them washed their hands. The technician helping me wasn't overly friendly but neither rude. Just quiet. I think she may have been their senior for the day because she would randomly bark out orders or give stern looks and the other workers would jump, which didn't exactly make me feel comfortable. I requested a regular pedicure which is priced at $45. I don't wear polish and don't do gel on my toes so I asked for a buff shine which they charged an additional $10 which wasn't anything more than an actual brief buffing. My toes felt clean so I was satisfied with that but I don't know if I would visit this place again.

    This salon goes above and beyond in terms of customer service and their artwork! My mom has been going to this salon for a long time and I've always thought her nails looked so extravagant. Finally I decided to give this place a chance on my birthday. I've been here twice now and both times they delivered. I love how clean the salon is and the staff is very attentive. It's awesome that they offer candy and something to drink while you get nails done. Lan did my first set of nails! (The gothic christmassy nails). She worked so hard to make sure I was happy with every single nail and asked for my "approval" before moving on to the next step. Seriously an awesome birthday present. Elly did my second set (the simple nature nails). She also did an excellent job of following the inspiration I gave her and took time to make sure I was happy. Will definitely continue to go here every time I feel the need to feel like a baddie with sick nails.

    This is one of the only actual luxury nail salons on the island. Service is very attentive with beverages and treats offered to the patrons. Very clean store with a luxury level of detail and style. If you're looking for a very nice place to get your or your female partners nails done then this place will impress. They are very responsive in Yelp with creating appointments.

    In person the blue polish was really sparkly and mermaid-like and my pink polish was super glossy

    Super easy to make appointments on vagaro and was happy to see an add on for brow waxing. My lashes…read morewere out of control growing out in different directions from my last lift. I've had many lash lifts over the years and my lashes must be difficult bc I've always had mixed outcomes. Imagine my delight to have my appointment with Malia. She took the time to ask questions and listen to my previous issues. She was very meticulous and conscientious with my lift, super skilled professional. Her lash lift is the best one I've ever had - the curl is dramatic, evenly spaced out, not a single errant lash. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. She mentioned several times that if they fall too quickly that I could come back but I've had enough lifts to know that this one is gonna be good and hold. I can see why she has such great reviews - her skill is off the charts! My brows also look nice and clean. I made my 6 week appt with her again right away on vagaro. The location is super convenient with entrance at the front of SALT from Ala Moana blvd. Take elevators to second floor. The space is loft like very airy with breezy curtains. I'll try to remember to bring cash for tip next time or you can Venmo it. They did allow me to tip on my card but signs suggested that they prefer it the other ways.

    I decided to try this location because their prices seemed fair and the reviews looked promising…read more The shop is located in SALT Kakaako so there is a good amount of parkind and they offer parking validation! I made the appointment online and it was easy. Malia did my keratin lash lift and tint. Ive had one before, but didn't know what to expect. She was super nice and accommodating. I definitely recommend her. She is up front and tells you that the style she specializes in is dramatic, just ask for pictures and she will show you. It worked for my eyelashes and I was very happy with it. The best part is that if something happens with your lashes (they fall or the lift doesn't stick) within three days after the service, you can contact them and they will let you know what your options are! That's the best customer service.
