    Called at 1:00 on Saturday for my mom and I as an early Mother's Day present. They had availability right when I called so I said we would be there in 30 minutes. There is parking in the back you can either enter by Sherwin Williams or on Kahoaloha Ln. My mom got a mani pedi and I got a full set. Although there was a slight miscommunication at first I wanted the nails that was on the sample they had but it was not understood. But it wasn't an issue I loved my nails and how short they were. Usually nail techs don't like to make it short because they think it looks ugly when it's short. My mom loved her mani & pedi and said her legs felt soft after. My nails are still going strong after 6 weeks only my right pointer came off, everything else is going strong and barely any lifting!! Will definitely be back.

    The bottom of my feet feels like a baby's butt!

    Romping around barefoot, will make the soles of your feet cracked and callus. Every couple of years I will soak my feet in Salicylic Acid and 7 days latter my skin starts peeling and exfoliating. Then I'll go for a pedicure. I'm a manicure persons nightmare. Walked in today and asked them to make the soles of my feet feel like a baby's butt. Loved the service I receive today. * Soaked and scrubbed my feet MULTIPLE of times and removed most of the exfoliating skin. Most salons give up after two attempts and resort to more aggressive exfoliating techniques. Nani's will not do aggressive exfoliating techniques that causes pain and rawness to the skin. They will not do blading, which is illegal in Hawaii. * Most salons will try to do a upsell of paraffin hot wax, but she did not because she knew it was in effective with chemical peels like Salicylic Acid. * Gently removed three years of cuticles without being overly aggressive and left a clean edge. * Detailed oriented. This is the only salon that has ever filed the ridges of my toenails smooth. All the other nail salons only filed the tip of my nails. * Hygienic. Basin to soak feet is lined with a plastic liner and thrown away after each use. Tools are soaked in disinfectant after each use. The Drummondville file tip was thrown away after use. * Family owned and operated for 10 years- husband, wife and nephew. The three work together as a team. Wife was trained at a high-end nail salon and her technique reflects that. * Knowledgeable, honest and does not aggressively upsell. Another customer showed them a picture. The wife stated that there was two ways of achieving it. One was with sparkle nail polish, and there is no extra charge, or put the sparkles in the gel which would be five dollars more. I asked if I could add sparkles, so she added two more layers of nail polish without charging me and told me that the nail polish needed time to dry. So I spent 20 minutes relaxing in the massage chair. - Pedicure massage chairs are at an angle so it does not promote conversation/ socialization among customers. - I have had better foot, toes and leg massage but I did not purchase the spa or deluxe package. - Lots of repeat customers, so an appointment is highly recommended. * Free parking in the back of the building but no safe walkway to front of store. Metered street parking in front of store.

    We were doing our senior mani/pedi elsewhere in Honolulu until a change in ownership. Glad we found and checked out Nani Nails Salon. Jenny serviced me and she's excellent. She does nails like how I regularly get in San Francisco. Nice to find a new shop that we'll be coming back regularly. Jenny is personable, knowledgeable, careful and attentive to details. Check them out!

    Nani nails salon is such a gem! With free parking in the back of their location you can't go wrong. The owner is super good at what he does and his prices are fair. I always make sure to call ahead of time to see what the wait is or if they can squeeze me in. They normally can always accommodate. They also give 10% discount or something like that to University of Hawaii at Mānoa students if you have a student ID which is so nice. I wish I knew that when I was a student lol This has been my new nail spot since moving to this area. Mahalo for always hooking ya gorl up!

    Jelly gel manicure

    I love this salon! My tail tech absolutely perfected the shape I was wanting and gave me the best recommendations on color (I'm very indecisive). I normally leave most salons with mixed feelings but I couldn't be happier on how my nails turned out! 10/10

    Love this salon! Great staff and their work is very neat. Received lots of compliments on my nails done by them.

    Made an appointment with them for Birthday acrylics and I couldn't be more happy. I had an idea in mind, and my technician was more than accommodating. The edges of the nails were cleaned straight.

    Marble inspired, butterfly stickers, and this is my fill!

    This is my favorite nail salon! This is my 4th visit and everything is cleaned before your sat down and precautions are very well done, not once felt uncomfortable..they know how to use the tools properly and will not hurt at all this is something I always had issues with other salons but never Nani Nails. Also, the massage for a deluxe pedicure was unbelievably great! I'm so happy with the end outcome

    A husband and wife team A clean convenient salon A manicure and pedicure heaven A modernist makeup tattoo artist A decent price tag. I had the spa mani pedi with gel mani fade. Jennie did an excellent meticulous job and of the many gel manis, I should say it is one of the best by far My spa pedi made my feet feel I could do a 10k hike..... This place could be my new salon of choice. By the way- street and building parking plentiful

    Hardened acrylic stuck to the underside of my nail.
    Tiffany A.

    It was my first time here, and it was almost as bad as you could possibly get. I went with my friend, who had Jenny as her nail tech. Her nails came out amazing and was completely satisfied. Half of a star is for Jenny for making my friend happy. On the other hand, I got stuck with a nervous male who didn't seem to know what he was doing for the life of him. I started my manicure (full acrylic set) at least a full 15 minutes before my friend started hers because she had to get nails taken off. He was extremely quiet, but I sat back and minded my own business. I started noticing that he had trouble glueing on the nails, and began to compensate by putting an amount of glue I've never seen before. He took any excess glue and smeared it on my filed down nail, but I gave it a pass. I requested a narrow coffin shape, to which Jenny replied that he would file down later. He became extremely meticulous with the shape of my nails, and took way longer than I had expected. Next, he started to use the acrylic powder to shape my nails. The amount that he used once again made me anxious, but I said nothing. I figured that Jenny (who was next to him) would correct him if he was wrong. As he finished each finger, he would leave the hardening liquid-powder formula on my skin, making it hard and dry in multiple areas. I found one ball and picked it off, but I had areas on at least three other fingers that I washed off later. He started filing down my nails again, and I could tell he was getting nervous. He began to file faster and more recklessly, cutting my left thumb and creating tender spots on others. By the time he was finished with just the base of my acrylic set, it had been two hours and my friend next to me had been done for a hot minute. Jenny then called her husband over to finish the job (probably) due to seeing the looks on my face after two hours. He then, in a friendly yet rushed manner, finished an ombre design that I had requested. As he was polishing my top coat, he stopped for a second with my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. I felt something was wrong, but he said nothing, so I thought it was a fluke. At this point, I was extremely tired (I had been out since before 6 am) and just wanted to leave. I paid and rushed out, thankful for being able to leave at all. The other half star is for his service. After further inspection upon leaving, I noticed that the color had bare spots, was not as gradient as I had hoped, and varies from nail to nail. Hardened acrylic was stuck to the underside of my nail, as well as the sides where it clings to my skin. If I run my finger down the sides of my nails, two of them are jagged to a point. My left pinky and ring finger are uneven. White nail polish and hardened acrylic were left on my skin, and I got no hand massage or lotion like my friend did. My nails hurt for the first time in YEARS. After all the time spent in the salon, I got no compensation despite the obvious look of distaste on my face. I'll be calling in the morning to get my money back or schedule a fix, but that's my last handout. After I get things sorted, I'm never returning. UPDATE (11/21): I called right after work and Jenny saw me immediately. She explained that her brother (the first guy) wasn't comfortable doing acrylics yet. She then asked her husband to finish the job, who obviously didn't. She fixed everything for FREE, and was showing other nail techs how to properly shape acrylics and fade gel polish. She even added some glitter! It looks AMAZING now. Jenny really cares about her business, loves her job, and cares for her customers. She's really busy, but ask for Jenny!

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!

Had different technicians each time. They're all pretty good but for the first time I got Hailey. Wow she is amazing!!! I got the basic pedi ($37) and callus removal ($10). She was very thorough and detail oriented. I opted for no polish this time, and she really did her best to make my nails look as neat as possible. There was so much cuticle and dead skin removed. She also spent a good amount of time on my foot and leg massage. I have nothing but good things to say about her. Next time I'll definitely request her before I come in. The salon space was clean and well-lit. The chairs were massage chairs and they're actually decent, better than a lot of salon massage chairs I tried. I was also offered water. The basic pedicure also included quite a bit of different services and that's just basic, and I think it's more than enough. Parking could be challenging because they only have a few spots right outside the salon as the other stalls are reserved for other businesses. Some signs would specify their hours of operation so if I arrive out of those hours I would just park there. Also Sunday street parking is free. Sometimes they would send random texts for 5% off, and also discounts for birthdays. I mean it's not much but better than nothing. Great spot. I have a nail salon within walking distance from where I live but I'd rather drive to come here. Thanks Hailey!

About a year ago, I decided to trim my own hair. Let's just say... it didn't go well. The haircut was so bad that I lived with it for an entire year before finally deciding it was time to let a professional fix it. The funniest part? I even took that haircut with me on a trip to New York City... and believe it or not, no one in New York City even sneered! Teeheehee I honestly think providence brought me here. On my way to Ala Moana Center, I happened to notice Lily's Hair Salon and thought, "That's interesting. I've never noticed that place before." Just before that, I had called Macy's to make an appointment at their salon. The phone rang, but then a recording said the number was no longer in service. Since I just couldn't believe it, I went looking for the salon anyway and discovered it had actually closed during the pandemic. That discovery sure earned a surprised panda face! So, believe it or not, I made my way back to Lily's. When I first walked in, the woman at the front desk told me their hairstylist was busy and suggested I try the salon upstairs. I did, only to find they were closed. I came back downstairs and told her I didn't mind waiting about 20 minutes. While I waited, I happily took advantage of their massage chair. After physical therapy, that massage chair felt wonderful. Before long, Min Hee was ready for me. What I appreciated most was that she listened. The first thing she did after I sat down was start with an assessment and ask me what I wanted trimmed. She never once tried to convince me to cut my hair much shorter than I was comfortable with. I showed her how I like to clip my hair up while still having enough length for a little dangling ponytail, and we agreed to preserve that length while cleaning up the overall shape. She then trimmed the ends to the length I wanted, washed my hair, took another careful look at it, cut the rest, and finished with a blow dry so she could see exactly how it naturally lies. I look like Jules Y. again! LOL Now I have bangs again, my haircut is even and balanced, and my hair finally looks polished instead of like the DIY haircut I'd been trying to live with for the past year. My hair frames my face much more naturally now, the ends are clean and even, and everything blends together the way I like it. My haircut was $65. There is a $2 fee if you pay by credit card. Parking was easy, with six free stalls right in front of the salon. The salon itself isn't fancy, but it's clean, comfortable, and more than good enough. As you face the inside of the salon, the restroom is on the left in the back, where you'll also find complimentary water and snacks. Min Hee is the salon's full-time hairstylist and also provides nail services. There are two additional hairstylists who work part-time on their own schedules. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant, courteous, and genuinely helpful. They all seem to know who their customers are, so you won't get asked, "Why are you wanting to use our restroom?" That may sound like a small thing, but it contributes to the welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Thank you, Min Hee, for giving me such a great haircut and a wonderful experience. I'm very happy to have found your salon on the very day I decided it was finally time to have my hair professionally cut.

    I've been coming here for over 10 years and it's really gone downhill in quality and service. Will…read morenot come again. 1) the front desk girl with bleached blonde hair is rude. I asked her when we were going to begin as we'd been waiting for 20 mins and she immediately got defensive. I responded back that all she had to do was let me know when they were planning to start rather than staring at her phone the ENTIRE time and not acknowledging at all that 3 people were waiting (my group). Not kidding, she stared at her phone looking at social media the whole time without acknowledging time. 2) there is barely any ventilation in here. It smells really strongly of polish and is terrible for you. Of course a nail salon will smell like polish, but here it's particularly bad as there's no ventilation (or hardly) 3) we had 3 pedicures where 1 was the normal $29 one and two were supposed to be the $42 one. They ended up charging us $60 rather than $42 saying they misheard and did extra massage service. I told them we'd ask for two of the same $42 ones. I was irritated at this point and just paid for the service and left. If you go here, be warned the service from that particular front desk girl is bad, the ventilation is lacking and the fumes here are carcinogenic, and be careful about your charges.
