    Kuromi nails for our granddaughter. Kim is an artist!

    Kim is just amazing at hand drawing nails! Our granddaughter loves it!! She was a nail biter, this was her reward.

    Our dog, Mochi is watching.

    Judy is the finest pedicure specialist in the town, if not Big Island. Her focus, experience and silence makes her golden. She is sensitive to a clients needs; takes initiative to trim areas that are difficult to do for yourself. Uses pumice stones to soften hardened areas difficult to tackle on your own. Judy. Experienced. Kind. Grateful. Professional. Ask for Judy. And don't forget to tip hee well; she deserves every dollar and more. Mahalo!

    Awesome sister team! Friendly, very exceptional & gentle with tapping directions, especially with language barrier. I appreciate the On-time ness! Salon is well kept- clean with a great vibe! Mahalo Judy & Kim! Advice- Book appointment well in advance.

    This was my first experience with Kim today. Got a pedi an gel builder fill. Totally met my expectations an did a a stellar job. She is a perfectionist and is fast (which I love) She was so kind an sweet. I really enjoyed her nail salon. Would def recommend

    My finished pedicure

    Went in to get a pedicure and they did a great job. My toes still have color on them a month later. Kim and her sister were very kind to get us in last minute on a Sunday night and the salon was very nice and relaxing.

    Cute shop, but older gal did poor job and unfriendly.

    Very disappointed with my pedicure. Had an appointment, walked in and a gal sitting in one of the waiting area chairs was on her phone ( owner Kim I later learned) didn't even bother to look up and me and said " hello". I said my name and she got up and went to tell the other gal in back. That gal ( looked to be at least 65-70) came out and started filling up the foot tub and gave me a hand motion to come to her and be seated, no hello or anything. I sat and she asked about water temp and that was it. I eventually mentioned to her that I wanted my two big toes to match in length since one was longer. She continued to cut back on the one side but then did too much and had to cut more on the short one! She barely spent anytime on anything else, my heels weren't even soft afterwards! The pedicure was like $38 and she didn't even use a leg/foot scrub, just a brief leg/foot massages/lotion. I normally pay $30 at a place in hilo and he spends twice as much time. Between the the unfriendly owner/staff and pitiful pedicure I would never recommend. Once the owner had a client ( obviously repeat customer) in her chair she was all friendly. So I guess if you go be sure and get Kim. Cute shop, but I left irritated and my toenails are too short!

    Basic pedi

    This was probably the best pedicure I've ever had. Just moved here from LA and got the basic pedi ($35). They have lots of colors including gel. Made an appointment and they took us right on time. She was meticulous, took her time, gave a killer massage and my toes look great. They have nice massage chairs and it's a clean, modern space with lots of parking. Will def come again!

    Kim and her sister do a great job on my nails. They are friendly and they are always busy, so plan ahead. I highly recommend Kim's Nail!

    I made an appointment with Kim but another lady did my gel manicure. She was patient and didn't rush to do my nails.

    I booked an appointment and ended up being turned down as they were "too busy". Very unprofessional and the owner was very rude.

    Hi, I wanted to take my daughter (9yo) and her best friend to get a basic pedicure. For the 3 of us, how much would it be? Thank you!

    Thank you for your interest! Please call (808) 885-1620 and speak with Kim for pricing.

    Is there a way to schedule online or is it by phone only?

    Appointments are by telephone only (or stop by in person).

    How much is a gel pedicure? Also how much is a gel manicure?

    Sorry for the delay in answering! Currently, gel pedicures are $55 and gel manicures are $50 ($55 for French tips).

    Do you do dip?

    Not at present--only regular manicures, acrylic, and gel.

    Vibes are very relaxing and the shop is super cute! I was about 10 minutes late because Google Maps…read moresent me to the back of HPM first lol. Mahina was understanding and very friendly. Her service was great! She did very well on my brows! I would like to come back, I just wish it wasn't going to cost me 70$ every time. I know, I know, it is a privilege to do this and everyone has a price! I'm not saying it's bad. On Oahu for a brow wax I'm paying anywhere from 15$-50$ max. I'm just having to adjust to the price hike here on B.I.. Let me whine a little bit ok haha.

    After several attempts to find a great beauty salon for facials, pedicures, body wax, and…read morebrows/lashes, Brio Beauty is the best! The pedicure by Hi'i'lawe is a treat; she carefully soothes the feet with fine products like a Shea butter massage followed up with a therapeutic mask to moisturize tired overused feet. Her ability to slow down and trim nails, then care for the treatment with minimal reflexology and care is amazing. The Owner, Tiana is exceptional and now offers trainings and many incredible services beyond brow care. Her associate, Kanani is meticulous and highly skilled at brows as she carefully plucks, waxes and shapes the perfect brow. Going to Brio Beauty is the best indulgence offered in Kamuela (Waimea) at this time. The spa also offers up the best body butters, lotions and nutritional supplements available. Try it!
