Best Nail Salons In Honolulu

“Smiley Nails is always such a pleasant experience! Everyone there is so friendly and they do a great job every time. I usually see Anthony, but if he’s busy, the rest of the team is just as wonderful. Definitely my go-to nail spot!“

“Anna did amazing work on my nails. I'm so glad I found them on Google. Worth the short walk from our hotel for and it was such a nice relaxing break from the sun. Now I have beautiful nails to go home and wipe my tears with when I'm missing Oahu :)“

“The staff is friendly, but what stood out most was the excellent salon management and cleanliness.“

“I enjoyed every bit of my visit today. Lucy was amazing and she did my lashes with precision and she was extra gentle. See LUCY! to get your lashes done. ?“

“As a licensed cosmetologist , I am very particular. This place TAKES CARE OF YOU !! Gentle application, fair pricing ,super friendly AND MY NAILS LAST ME 4 weeks . I stay in water so to me that is GOLD ! 10000000/10 (I’m a simple girl but they also get down in designs!)“

“Yen Cao is a true artist. She is incredibly personable, and her shop is impeccably clean. She takes great care in showing every sterile pack of supplies, including expiration dates and the types of needles she uses, ensuring complete transparency. The shop is also conveniently located. What I truly appreciated about her was the time she took to assess my facial features to determine the most suitable eyebrow shape for me. She meticulously measured everything rather than simply estimating, demonstrating her expertise and precision. With years of training and mastery in her craft, I trust her completely. Beyond her skill, Yen is down-to-earth, kind, and genuinely cares about customizing her work to meet each client’s needs. Finding someone as dedicated and detail-oriented as her is rare!“

“I think I might have had the best (most thorough) pedi ever! Would definitely recommend! The chairs are great and the use the sanitary BAGS!!! Which is a must for me.“

“I came in from another place with completely destroyed nail beds and Pave took full care of me. She has such a steady hands and warm personality, I felt like I left with more confidence and a new friend. Thank you Pave!“

“Showed up as a walk-in for a pedicure because I was feeling like a spontaneous self-care day was in order. Sang took care of me for an Organic Pedicure. This treatment includes a salt soak, salt scrub, foot/leg mask, and massage with moisturizer. Sang was friendly and professional. Not every nail salon will care to ask for your name, but she consistently referred to me by name & always checked in with me to see how I was doing. I must’ve looked tired because she insisted that I could take a nap if I wanted to. And I did ?

The salon is cute and small, just like I prefer. Not too noisy like other nail salons along Waialae Ave. And the fact that I felt comfortable enough to fall asleep says a lot. I’m a high-alert person & Sang’s kindness totally disarmed me from being on edge like I usually am. This allowed me to completely relax and enjoy.

I think it’s noteworthy to say that this salon takes their time. Other nail salons on island have completely turned me off from paying for expensive services just for them to do a rushed & terrible job. Blissful Nails is the opposite. Needless to say, I’ll be back“

“To my complete surprise I was able to get a next day appointment for a hard gel fill and pedicure. The best part is, both were at the same time, cutting my time there in half!

Both women did a fantastic job. I have thin natural nails on my hands and she was gentle and took her time. When I didn’t like the final color after curing she went over it with another color and I love it. Didn’t make me feel bad or anything.

As for my feet. I get regular pedicures but I get calluses easily for some reason. Just life. I did the callus removal for $10 and wow. She did amazingly.

They are detailed and really do great work. The salon is very clean and all health protocols were followed. This is a great place.

Parking was not a problem for me. I did ride my moped. But do arrive early to find parking if you’re driving.

They said to just say I’d like them at the same time when I call. I love that!“

“I got my hair done here for the 3 years I lived in Hawaii. Excellent salon in a very convenient location. Davis is absolutely amazing. I wish I could fly back every couple months to still get my hair done here! Highly recommend“

“I had to get emergency gel X and eyelash extension refills and they were so meticulous and perfect- not rushing and extremely professional- I’ll come back every time in town on work trips!“

“Very professional Japanese manicure! Gel is of high quality. Will definitely come back again.“

“We did a couples massage today and our experience was amazing. Extremely professional, one of the best massages we’ve ever had. Lulu and Vivi were top notch. The location was convenient and the space was clean and perfectly decorated. We highly recommend!“

“I love the relaxing environment here. The staff are gentle and kind. My nails came out absolutely stunning. I can’t wait for my next appointment.“

“My neighbour recommended me this place, I could get an appointment right away. Everybody are very friendly, I got offered water and tea. Nina did a perfect job on my nails! So beautiful.
Thank you:)“

“I had such a great experience at Creative Nails!

Conveniently located right off Monsarrat Avenue in the Kaimukī/Diamond Head neighborhood, just minutes from Waikīkī.
Monsarrat is a cute little street with lots of great places to grab a bite to eat.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

The salon itself is quaint and seemed clean. Lots of people working and busy with seemingly happy customers.

I came in to have my gel extensions removed from my hands and the gel polish removed from my feet- I was pleasantly surprised to find that their pricing is some of the most affordable around.

Not only was the service professional and efficient, but throughout the entire experience I felt genuinely cared for as a customer.

For anyone in the Waikīkī or Diamond Head area looking for quality nail care for affordable prices check out this spot.

I recommend calling ahead although it seems that walk-ins are welcome.“

“I called at 8:30 AM and got appointments for my 2 nieces (11 & 15 yo) and me, for mani-pedis at 10:30 AM. Two gel pedicures, one regular pedicure and three regular manicures. The gel color selection was good. I was very happy and the person who did my services was sweet & professional. Everything was clean and nice. The massage chairs were very nice, and my nieces loved the whole thing. It came to $235, which I charged on a card, and paid the tips in cash. We will definitely be back. Thank you!“

“Best service! They truly make you feel welcomed and comfortable. They don't rush to finish and always put their customers first.“

“I had both a pedicure and manicure done here, the experience was relaxing and so gently done. Thank you, Dio for your hard work to make my hands beautiful! :).“

“Monet removed my gel nails so gently because I went there with a crack in my real nails underneath the gel ones and without hurting she removed my nails so nicely! I highly recommend this place!!“

“Meagan is the best in Hawaii Kai. I always bring in photo of designs I like and she delivers every time.“

“Great simple pedicure which included four and leg massage as well as callous scrub. Inexpensive and excellent in an unassuming small place. Check it out!“

“Went for a last minute manicure and quick pedicure. They got me and my daughter in and were fast and friendly. It was not the best manicure I have had but good value for the price.“

“Tendy is the greatest, she always does an amazing job. She's very patient and kind.

Specialities: Tendy is a professional for what she does.

Cleanliness: Very clean

Stylist: Tendy, she's the greatest.“
