If I could give this place 0 starts, I WOULD! ! asked KRISTINE for French tip, funny bc before I was gonna write this I looked at other reviews and saw, I'm not the only person she fked up on. If you don't know how to do French tip. Please just say that. It looked so bad I didn't think she was being fr at first until I realized she was and I said yeah no I'm not paying for this. After already taking a hour on my nails, she had to soak them ott and redo them, so she did, and I had to tell her how you use. Pink base then PAINT the tip not use white acrylic. Then after another hour and a half, she STILL FUCKED UP! Again I was like I'm not paying for this! She tried to say it's supposed to be $80 but they'll just charge $50. Even for $50 that shit was so ugly. Only the lady with all the tattoos tried to say yeah she'd still pay $50 for it, bs. So an older lady had to fix it, and even at that, by now my nails are raw and fucked up, she ended up cutting my fingers even more. She took off the French and just had to put clear polish because I was already in the salon for almost 4 hours and I was OVER IT!! DONT GO HERE! On top of all this THEY STILL TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY FULL PRICE! But I didn't, I ended up paying $40 for my clear polish' athis place is such a joke! Please just go to the salon by subway read more

The owner did message me and offered to re-do my nails but I politely declined. That was very nice of her and I shouldn't blame the business for the bad work of one nail technician. Maybe there are great technician's here but unfortunately, I did not get one for my manicure. However, Tina (who did my pedicure) did a pretty good job. read more

Kunia Nail Center - My nails came out so beautifully! Gigi is always artistic and cares for her clients! - Nail Salons Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I just moved to this neighborhood, and trust me when I say this: there's no better nail place around here. The salon is super clean, spacious, and the staff is incredibly kind. Plus, the prices are very reasonable! If you need your eyebrows waxed, ask for Mary--she's amazing. read more

I appreciate the exceptional service I consistently receive at Kunia Nails. I have been a client for years, and the entire staff is always welcoming. I especially want to give a shout out to Mary, who is my go to technician. She never fails to pamper me, is always friendly and accommodating, and consistently does excellent work. I enjoy coming to Kunia Nails because of how clean it is. The open atmosphere prevents the clustered feeling I have experienced at other places. read more

I LOVE THIS SPA! After trying multiple salons when I moved here, this is now the only place I will go. The services are not going to break your pocket, and they do such an amazing job! From waxing, to nails and pedicures.. this is the best place on island in my opinion! Loved Mary so much that I referred my mom and now we fight for appointments! Come check them out, you won't be disappointed read more

My best friend took me here today, 11/17/25, and I was pampered by two wonderful ladies who did my pedicure and manicure simultaneously. It was my first time experiencing two services at once, and I felt like a celebrity! Both ladies did an fantastic job and made sure I felt well taken care of. I totally recommend this place, especially if you have a busy schedule they'll take care of everything promptly and beautifully. read more

Ben did an awesome job on my pedicure. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat in the chair to when I left the salon. The best experience that I have ever got for a pedicure. Diane took over and completed my manicure. I showed her a picture and she delivered the most beautiful nails that I could have asked for. I trusted her insight as she said no worry I'll make it look pretty and sexy and sure enough 10 ten recommend. I have been coming here for over 10+ years and they never seem to disappoint me. read more

As a long time loyal customer to this place, I still love going to them with no problems! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Also they are super quick! If you want to get a pedicure and a manicure, they do it at the same time! read more

As a guy, I'll admit it can be a little intimidating walking into a nail salon, especially when you feel like you're the only man in the room. I came in with some rough, ugly toenails and wasn't sure what to expect, but Xuan completely put me at ease. She's incredibly gentle, professional, and thorough--she really takes her time to make sure everything looks and feels right. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made the experience. Instead of feeling out of place, I felt welcomed and cared for. If you're a man who's been on the fence about getting your nails done, don't hesitate--go see Xuan. She'll take great care of you. read more

Update: I was contacted by the owner Lisa, who was very kind. Went back today and got everything fixed free of charge. I've had 3 gel polish manicures done here. 2 of the 3 started chipping within days. My gel polish pedicure is also coming off... Like the whole nail color came off in 1 piece!!!! (Lasted less than a week) This also happened to my Mom when she got a pedicure here. Some of the nail techs are great and do very nice work but if you're unlucky you will walk out of this place very unsatisfied. And likely need to return to have things redone. This place also lacks good color selection in my opinion. read more

Five stars to Mary! Her pedicures are the best. She takes her time, never feel rushed. Thanks Mary.

Kunia Nails is a clean and chill environment, with friendly staff. Pedicures are a must, especially with Mary she's my #1. I've been coming here over 4 years, my 2 daughters (in their 20s) also come here. One loves to go to Kristine for all of her manicure, and Pedicure needs. Waxing & Lashes are available here too. read more

10/10 recommend! The service is always professional & everyone is super friendly! The only nail salon I go to.

I came in with naturally long nails but the lady Mimi who had me cut my nails and tried to put on fake nails. I tried to specify that I'm not allowed to have fake long nails and crazy colors from the very moment I walked in the shop when they asked me what kind of services I wanted, but I'm not too sure if they disregarded me or there was a language barrier? (I'm currently going on a trip, but because of my job, that's why I tried to keep my nails as natural length and colored as possible) but tell me why she cut my nails and tried to put fake nails on me?? Luckily for her I didn't mind whether or not I have long nails. But working with my natural (mistakenly) cut nails, you can see the flaws. Honestly, it's only been 2 days since I did my nails and she's already peeling. You can see how it wasn't even cut as clean as it should be or painted as clean as it should be. I paid a Hefty price and sitting here with my nails peeling and not even on my trip yet, I really feel the regret in service and money paid. I'm not one to dictate how a company should charge a customer but I just wanna note that Mimi and another employee who haven't even worked on me have been having a conversation with my total. The conversation was something like "Okay, your total is $190" -me about to pay- "No $210, blah blah blah" "Blah blah blah... Oh, okay $210" As far as myself, I cannot understand them and I just didn't feel comfortable how the price was either shot up or down for a reason I didn't even know especially AFTER the fact that they made a mistake with cutting my nails. To Kunia nails, thank you for your services for this long, but I'm going to humbly take my services elsewhere. It's one thing to mess up, but after that uncomfortable situation of not knowing what I'm even paying for, my total going up for some reason,, especially after a mistake like that, AND having that conversation in front of your face. I'd rather take my services to a company who actually has the courtesy of communicating with their customers. *also side note** not everyone there is bad, some employees are actually very kind and do a great job bc my other half was there and he received excellent care, as far as my experience, it's unfortunate that it wasn't as great as his. read more

First time here walked in for a pedicure gel & gel full set my total came out to $120.42. Im 100% satisfied with my pedicure the guy did an excellent good, as will for sure be going back just for that. As for my nails not really trilled. Not sure what her name was but while she did my nails it felt rushed. When she put the polish before starting to add the acrylic on i felt it go on my skin only my right hand & after a while it started to burn. I've gotten my nails done handful of times & never experienced something like this, i just brushed it off. As she was finishing up i moved my hand away due to it hurting & noticed she had cut me. She did apologize but laughed after while i was dealing with the pain. Even my pointer finger is cracked underneath not a big deal but shorten the life of the nails. 3 days later the same hand that was burning around my nails is cracked & dry. I've tried to add lotion washed it nothing worked, i even tried to scratch it off but im peeling off a layer of my skin & it doesnt feel nice. Dont get me wrong my set is decent but for the price i paid, i feel like she couldve put more effort. My whole nail isnt fully painted, the top coat is patching. From my end you can see & even feel the finish product doesnt have a smooth finish it's bumpy. read more

I have really terrible migraines and so I stumbled onto this place looking for a scalp massage place. At first I thought i was crazy since it was a nail spa. But I'm so glad I went in. Now I come here every other week to get my hair washed and my tension headaches relieved. She takes her time massaging the scalp and it's so relaxing I fall asleep. The quick back massage she does is a bonus. My next appointment will include the hour back massage with the scalp treatment! I'm so excited! read more

Got here about 9ish and inside looked a little different from what I remember seeing years ago but with that said everyone was welcoming and very friendly. The hubby and I went in for mani pedi combos. The water started off super cold I guess because we were the first costumers in there but it soon got nice and warm. We were able to get it done at the same time toes and fingers ! I loved it. My favorite part will always be the paraffin wax. Although it wasn't as hot as I would have liked , it felt great! Wish the hot stones were a touch hotter as well. I wish the hot stone treatment was a littler longer. I always feel comfort with the hot stone massage so I always want more. But overall it was a nice treatment. Hope to visit again soon. read more

I've been here before to get a set of nails done and it wasn't that bad but came back for a deluxe pedicure and the guy who did my pedicure was unsanitary. He used gloves on my feet and in the middle of it went to the cashier to check someone's bill out and did not bother to remove gloves then continues to work on my feet. The massage wasn't that great as well and my toes could've gotten like another coat or 2. read more

Went in for a full set and pedicure. Person doing my pedicure didn't seem to know what he was doing. After my nails were done the nail tech doing my hands had to fix my toes so they would look decent. Paid an extra $10 for "better nails" vs the full set I requested and not even a day later broke a nail. Thought it was just going to be one nail, then a second one broke off and the third. In less than a week my nails were all off. Needless to say I do not recommend and never again read more

I have been coming here for many years since I live right up the street (literally just 3 minutes away, according to yelp). Have never been disappointed with their service each and every time. Their prices are very reasonable and great color selections for their polish. My 2 daughters get their brows done here too. No complaints coming from them either.Highly recommend them! I have yet to try their Brazilian waxing services. Need to find a closer place for me instead of traveling to pearl city. read more

Am sad because I thought I had found "my nail place" close to work. Have been coming here for months. Today, I walked in for a manicure and pedicure, even had my feet in water soaking. 2 girls walked in and verbally said they had no appt. I heard them because my seat was closest to the front door. Then, I was asked to remove my feet and go back to the waiting bench because "they had an appt ahead of me." This is untrue. I'm unsure if it's because of race or if it's because of 2 people vs 1. They said they were ok to wait. I always try to tip well. I am white living in Hawaii and feel discriminated against in multiple businesses. I won't be back. read more

I make it a point when not working to go see Mary! I work a lot with my hands so I just get a basic manicure BUT I love a good pedicure when can. I get a pedi bomb or Jelly pedi. Mary spends so much time cleaning up my neglected feet (lol) and making them beautiful again. She gives a fantastic massage and stone massage. She is great at gel polish too. I highly recommend this salon and Mary especially! I'm a loyal customer for life! read more

Careful on the menu. Got the deluxe pedicure. when it says includes 10 minute massage. My massage wasn't even 5 minutes. Even the footscrub. Before they used to do the whole leg and foot but this time was just the foot. Unless technicians are different. Most times it seems like they're in a rush to get another client. read more

Awesome place! Decided to pick this place due to the reviews and I'm glad I did. Did a simple pedicure and manicure and was not disappointed. Johnny was very patient and understood what I wanted and he was great and very down to earth. The people there; Christine, Nikki, Mary, Abby, Lisa and Johnny are happy go lucky people, they can be crazy at times. Go see these guys to do your pedi and mani. You won't be disappointed. THANK YOU JOHNNY FOR BEING AN AWESOME NAIL TECH!!!!!! Be seeing you guys again read more

My previous set of acrylics were getting super grown out and I got them done at a different place. I wanted to go to a place that was pretty close to my house and was decently priced for a full set. My mother-in-law recommended this place to me. I was a bit reluctant as this place had mixed reviews but as of recent years the reviews got a lot better. I have to say, I LOVE this place. The ambience is really nice and the nail tech worked so quickly but she was so meticulous and the results came out exactly how I wanted precautions for COVID were good too - they have plastic shields up between you and the nail tech and everything is very sanitary. Compared to the other place I got my previous set done from, Kunia Nail Center does it WAY better and for a better price. Definitely coming here from now on to do my nails! read more

Kunia Nail Center - Light pink coffin shaped acrylic set - Nail Salons Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Mostly come to get my pedicure done. My absolute favorite place to get it. Great service, quick and efficient. Highly recommend.

Another Update: 7/25/20 They are under new management and this time, they've really improved from my last review. When I do my nails it's usually on a whim and I don't make appointments in advance. Each time I've called, they've had openings when I needed and I didn't have to wait once I arrive. I now go to Lisa to do my nails and she always does a fabulous job with the shaping and design. What I love the most about her nail technique is she always cleans the cuticle area with a small bulb shaped drill bit. I've not had any issues with lifting and her designs last me at least 3-4 weeks before I need a fill. They've redeemed themselves and they get 5 stars from me. (A long time customer of this shop that's survived multiple changeovers.) read more

Been going here for years! Staff is always nice and helpful. Mary is amazing with pedicures!! This place is way more affordable as well!
