    Gel pedicure
    Nicky K.

    I get a gel pedicure regularly have been a handful of shops on island. Have even been to this shop before, previously had a great experience as well however, Tracy hands down best pedicure I've had in a long time Thankyou so much

    Original paint job before technician cleaned up nails. Missing corners and pooling
    Alyssa Y.

    Staff was very friendly, but the work was poor quality. The technician rushed through painting my nails and didn't bother to clean up the edges. Corners were missing paint and it was pooling around the cuticles on almost every nail. I had to ask the technician to clean it up but it still is not worth the money I paid.

    Gel nails (after one week)

    I love Kaimuki!! I've been coming here for at least a few years. Boss babe Ann, always welcomes me with a big cheery smile " Hi Renee" . I don't know why I never wrote a review. I COVID procedures in place, temperature checks, sanitize etc., barrier shields. The salon is always clean, you'll see staff sweeping, cleaning. I'm a little OCD because it's so important, before pandemic and especially now. Prices are reasonable, and my amazing nail artist Vivian is the best!! She is very detail oriented, going back trimming cuticles to give me the perfect mani or pedi. She helped me with a nail infection (not from here) I was dealing with because I work in Healthcare wear gloves and wash my hands a gazillion times a day. It's sad to see business has slowed, but for me I need my cuticles professionally trimmed. I usual do a regular mani decided to do gels for the holidays, I love Christmas! Support local, see Vivian, Ann or anyone of the other nail artists, great customer service by all. Guys too, go get a mani/pedi you'll love it!!

    I called and asked for a technician who I used to go to but apparently is no longer there. However, there is another woman with the same name who has been there for almost 2 months. When I got there, I mentioned that she was not the technician I used to see ... but thought I'd give her a try. My pedicure had to be redone because at the very end when she asked if everything was ok, my nails were not cut evenly and one even pointy in the middle. I asked to that that one nail fixed. She immediately removed the polish from all my toes and redid the cutting/filing. The technician said the polish was too thick so she wanted to do it over with another bottle. I really like the pale pink color I chose and asked if there was another on the shelf. She found a bottle but it was much darker and she responded it's ok, they just diluted the previous one because it's old. Uh....no. This is Barbie pink, not pale/closer to white that I initially chose. The polish application is sloppy and sad to say she tried, but it looks unprofessional. After 90+ minutes there I had to leave. I gave 2 stars only because the massage and cuticles were ok.

    My girlfriend got her nails done here by Tiffany, and did a beautiful holiday set. Tiffany took her time and did quality work on my girlfriend

    French tips with pearls

    Nail la vie is in a convenient location with ample parking. They accept walk-in's but it's best to call ahead to make sure they have a nail technician available. I always book with Cindy, because she has always given me spectacular service. Cindy is courteous of your time, prioritizes your comfort, and delivers results. She is a perfectionist, which I love. It's such a treat to visit Nail La Vie, and you should experience it too!

I came in and they got me into the chair very quickly, even with a busy schedule, and they did my mani-pedi at the same time! They did such a beautiful job and paid attention to every detail, redoing things here and there to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I also had a wax done by Lily, and she was SO patient and kind--I barely felt a thing! She made sure every hair was removed and even triple-checked her work. Overall, it was such a great and relaxing experience. You can really tell that quality matters here, and I never once felt rushed. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Hawaii!

Been going here for years now and every time I have an appointment I always look forward to it and very excited. From the moment I sat down, she was so warm, professional, and detail-oriented. She took her time to understand exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. The shape is perfect, the ombré blend is so smooth and clean, and the finish is super glossy and elegant. I've gotten so many compliments already! You can really tell she takes pride in her work -- nothing felt rushed, and every detail was carefully done. Not only is her work beautiful, but their new location was super spacious, clean, hygienic, and comfortable, which is so important to me. She's incredibly talented and consistent! If you're looking for a nail tech who delivers high-quality, stunning results every single time -- she's the one. Or any one at this salon I Highly, highly recommend!

    For my daughter's birthday she wanted to get her nails done. For weeks, she scoured the internet…read morefor inspo pics and decided on a sunrise shell design. I looked for a nail salon located close to the UH Manoa campus and came upon Nail Story. Nail Story had great reviews on Yelp and I liked that I could make an appointment online. The prices of the services was also available when you make your appointment. We arrived a little before 5pm and had to wait awhile before a parking spot opened up in the lot. My daughter showed her technician the design and she was quoted an additional amount of $46. The technician then went to work and when it was time to do the design, there was a lot of back and forth as the technician had not done a sunrise shell design before. My daughter wanted it just right and asked her to redo it several times. I was surprised her technician didn't take offense, but also happy that my daughter was making sure she was getting what she wanted. The technician was great and stayed patient as she tried to replicate the design as best as she could. Finally, after what seemed like the fifth time, my daughter gave a big smile of approval. Thank goodness! | was getting hungry! My daughter loves her nails and I also had a great experience with my pedicure.

My acrylic soak off then went from $15 to 20 because I wanted to do regular polish instead. After being told that I told them I just wanted to pay for the soak off because they kept on changing the prices. She then charged me $26 for just the soak off. Do not come here super unprofessional and super rude. They also constantly changed the prices and totally ripped people off. It's extremely unsanitary in there. UPDATE Owner replied to review saying that I was lying again it was unsanitary bottle used for acetone was old and run down aswell as all of the dusting brushes, prices are not listed on the board for soak offs so no there is no upfront price for a soak off like I stated length was agreed with the tech then was cut way shorter then agreed to additionally then filed down there is the mutual understanding of the nail being filed down more after the cut for shaping but the mistake was made when the nail was cut it was cut way to short. To go from $15 to $20 to $26. I explained it would not be worth it to do my nails with gel and I'd rather do regular polish you then pulled a bottle from the shelf that was also not the color I picked and told me your not reliable if the polish chipped with is true your not I know how normal versus gel polish works. I also know that you were not kind and that you were unprofessional I wasn't obligated to get a color I did not want and as soon as I spoke up for myself you got upset. And then raised the price once again! I've looked at past reviews seems like you maybe should work on your responses and try to be a little bit more kind instead of defensive and rude. Wishing you the best!
