This was my first mani-pedi, I'm 54. It was a great experience. I was treated with kindness and patience. Since it was all brand new to me, they answered all my questions. The last couple days after I've been amazed to not have dead, dried skin around my nails. The shop was very clean and they have processes in place to make sure it says that way. For my first time, I think I hit the jackpot. I will visit again.

Love this nail salon! My first appointment with Monica at Arena Beauty was the first nail appointment I've had in a long time. I used to get weekly manicures at another place when I lived on the mainland but the nail tech there was more focusing on churning through customers than nail care, so my nails became extremely damaged and weak. I experienced a deep crack in my nail bed and stopped getting my nails done for a while. Even after my nails healed (jojoba oil is life), I found myself anxious when thinking about getting them professionally done again. I had a trip to Japan coming up and decided to treat myself to a structured gel mani and a regular pedicure. It's really easy to book appointments online, which I appreciate. To get to the parking lot, you enter from the Young Street side. To leave, you exit on the Ke'eaumoku Street side. It's free parking but can be limited. So far I've only gone on weekday afternoons and there have always been at least a couple stalls open. If not, you could always try paid street parking. You'll need to go through a metal screen door to the second floor where the nail shop is. It's a clean place and doesn't smell strongly of chemicals, even when they keep the door closed. Sometimes they have small dogs--something to keep in mind if you have allergies or don't like dogs. They're quiet and very well behaved though! Both my pedi and mani turned out great. Everything seemed very sanitary and Monica made sure I was satisfied with the color before painting the rest of my fingers/toes (there is a fee if you change color after all fingers/toes have been painted). There isn't a TV and your back is facing the window when you're getting your hands done but I feel like all of the techs match the vibe well. They're chill if you just wanna chill but also funny if you wanna chat lol. My structured gel mani lasted weeks (including international travel) with no chips! Amazing. My second appointment was for gel removal. Monica was very careful and took her time to gently remove the gel and maintain the health of my natural nail. She also filed my nails and gave me the buffer and file to me to take home in case any snags appear. I was so relieved! It's been a month and my natural nails are still healthy and strong. So thankful for Monica and her amazing work!
