I'm absolutely in love with my nails! Lily (one of the owners) truly exceeded my expectations,…read moreevery-time. 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!

It was really easy to make an appointment via text and phone. Initially it was only be for two but…read morethe next morning we added on two more pedicures and they were very accommodating to all the changes! The prices were very reasonable. I paid $75 for my manicure ($25 manicure, $45 gel french tip, $5 nail fix) and my pedicure was $37 for a basic. The new salon is brand new and everything is very clean. Ruby did my pedicure and Alex did my manicure. They were extremely busy while we were there but it seemed like it ran really smoothly. Everyone was pleasant enough but not much talking and it did feel a little rushed at times but also understanding that they were trying to accommodate all 4 of us on short notice. Ruby cut slightly too deep into the side of my left big toe and she apologized but it was very noticeable swollen and painful the next day compared to my other toe so that's not ideal. She was very meticulous with the polish application though! Alex did a great job with my deep french manicure. He was very quick and efficient with putting on an acrylic tip onto my thumb that was shorter than the rest of my nails. He was careful to not have the gel touch my skin and seemed to be the go-to for frenchies. The girl working the front desk didn't seem to be in a good mood. I don't usually mind but she was very short with her responses and not particularly nice or helpful when I asked a few questions regarding the pricing and point system. There is plenty of street parking available and it was easy to find. They're very popular so expect to be a slight wait and it's definitely a more sterile and clinically run salon than a welcoming one. I didn't see anyone with a walk-in so I would always recommend making an appointment!

Ever since moving to Honolulu, I had struggled to find a reliable nail salon. I have a pincer nail…read moreon my left big toe (caused by wearing the wrong hiking shoes on a strenuous, 18-mile hike that I did in 2018). The mutated nail is managed by monthly pedicure appointments, meaning highly experienced nail techs. The Beauty Bar was the 3rd nail salon I tried out and I haven't had to go anywhere else. I've been coming for the last 3 months and continue to be very happy with the service and results. Not only is my pincer nail always treated and trimmed carefully and expertly, the pedicures are well done and last for over 4 weeks (just using regular polish, not gel). I haven't tried the Japanese gel manicure yet, but I'm waiting for a special occasion to make the splurge. There's only a couple of downsides: 1) the prices are very high and 2) the massages are too soft. For example, I've paid $4 or $5 for callous removal at other salons, but they charge $10 here. Otherwise, I have no other complaints. I love the ease of the online booking system. The salon is clean and has a very chill vibe.

After a hectic Wednesday workday, I was desperately looking forward to my appt I had booked for myself and my bestie last week. A gel pedicure w/ an add-on foot massage easily relaxed my aching feet and calmed my busy mind for what felt like too quick of an hour. Pedicures do not include your typical salon package of exfoliating scrubs and the like. But you can ($) add on calluses removal or a (quick) massage to the service. . The classic industrial Ward interior of a high ceiling and open space concept meant - great ventilation! It didn't smell of ammonia or nail polish at all.

She has been doing my nails for some years now, her Mom use to do my manicure/pedicure if Lily was already booked. She has an eye for detail and will clean up your hands and feet like there's no tomorrow. Moana Nails is pretty on the inside with many other nail technicians, leather chairs for pedicures, you will be paying higher prices for the same services, but when you find someone who knows you, your life, and all the things. That seems to matter most nowadays. Plenty of ample and free parking right in front, some customers have found a way to also do their shopping at nearby Ala Moana Center. I haven't quite figured out what would now be the best day to visit as Lily has opened up one more day of her work week for appointments.

I loved the vibe of the place walking in, it was my very first time there and everyone was so friendly! While I was waiting I signed into their point/reward system. The salon is very neat and aesthetic, the bathroom is clean, and there's ample parking. My appt was around 5 and it was busy inside, everyone trying to get their nails done before Thanksgiving probably (like me, hehe) When I was seated, Chloe offered me refreshments. They had soda or water. Not all salons offer so I thought that was very nice of them. Pictures don't do this set justice. She was very open and transparent with any and all questions I had when I was inquiring on Instagram! 100/10 I would definitely recommend. You've gained a new client (: thank you Moana Nails +++ Chloe! You were amazing.
