Nails Design

Just moved to the island and found this place on Unilocal.It is a small business and not much parking but I think this place is worth it. They do get busy so if you don’t want to wait I recommend calling to make an appointment.

Called to make an appointment, and good thing I did because that place filled up fast on a Friday morning. Cindy was super efficient, and the prices for service is cheap… except of course if you’re getting nail designs. Ended up spending $ 71 for a mani and rhinestones, but since I hardly get my nails done, only for special occasions, I guess it was worth it… was in and out in under an hour.

I love this place because there service is the bomb my preference lady i like going to is chris she does my nails along with my pedicure which i always think is on point she cleans my cuticles real great and we must not forget how shes on point with my eyelashes i drive out from waianae but its always worth it. i never left dissappointed at all

I have a question anyone knows anything about where I can get my nails done with this product

Is there an option for a minus star? I’ve had eyelash extensions for years, but since moving from my old town I had to find a new salon. I went in to fix a bad eyelash extension job because this place was recommended to me. When arriving I had some lashes still on that I requested to take off. While removing, I asked why was it painful and seemed to be pulling on my natural lashes, the women said there was a lot of glue from the previous set and she was having trouble getting it off. It was painful but nothing I couldn’t handle. I looked in the mirror and saw that although I had some lashes missing it wasn’t horrible. After she put on a full set they looked decent but we’re very painful and poked my eyes when I blinked. I asked her to take a few lashes off, hoping it would fix the problem. I was still in so much pain I asked her to just remove the set. While removing she was pulling so hard I began to cry. She said «the owner didn’t purchase the remover so I’m separating them from your lashes». OMG! I laid and pain crying as she pretty much ripped off the lashes for an hour. Why did I stay? It was 7pm and I knew if I went home I would have ripped them off because it hurt just as much to have them on. NEVER again will I go there! My lashes are very bare and I still have swelling the next day. Be careful.

Just disgusting. I happened to be in wahiawa because I had to use my storage unit so I Unilocaled this place and it was nearby. I called and asked if they had immediate availability for mani pedi. She tells me yes, my bf drops me off. I walk in and it’s packed. The lady has me write my name down and tells me to sit. It’s funny, I brought a sweater thinking the AC in most nail places make me cold. This room was hot and humid. Probably no AC. While sitting I scan the room and notice how awfully filthy it is. THere’s nail clippings all over the floor. I start looking at the pedicure chairs thinking «ick I don’t know if I trust my feet in there» I go to the restroom and it just smells god awful. I come out and it’s more of a shimmy because everything is so squished together, I see 4 inches outside the bathroom door there’s another room where a girl is getting a wax in what seems to be a closet. I continue to shimmy to my seat and they are not ready for me still so I cross my name off walk out and have come to Maui mikes for refuge and to write my review while I wait for my bf. I feel like I’ve dodged a bullet. Or atleast athletes foot or something.

I love this nail Salon! They’ve always done a great job on my Manicures and pedicures I’ve been going here for the past five years. I’d highly recommend Bea! she’s a true master in her art of nail designs a perfectionist! she really takes her time while working on her clients.
Bad part–
To me it’s unprofessional and uncomfortable when they speak there native language while working. It’s America! Speak English! Regardless if it’s about clients or just simple conversation it’s still unprofessional! also when they’re with a client and someone else walks in they shouldn’t stop the service on the first client to help a new one.
Example leaving there first client to wax eyebrows of a person who just walked in, that’s RUDE and unprofessional. First come first to be served don’t make Ppl wait. That’s all.

Pros:
–Great eyebrow waxing
–Cheap
–Takes Walk ins
Cons:
–Parking is always packed
–VERY small & tight place (Expect to inhale lots of nail polish/​remover)
–Got a pedi here twice and it wasn’t the best but definitely not worth $ 25
–Staff isn’t too friendly
–The second you walk in one of them screams «Hi, what do you want?» (uhm a little embarrassing if you wanted a Brazilian wax; lol not that I would get one there but cmon’get a receptionist or come over and ask. Don’t put me on the spot in front of a packed nail salon bahaha!
–Loud nail techs yelling from across the room the entire time. (don’t get me wrong, talk all you want but damn! I get a mani/​pedi as a treat to relax! Not listen to you guys yap loud enough for me to hear you through my earphones)

I had the privilege to be taken care of by Bee. She did my eyebrows, amazingly. In addition I got a mani pedi and she made sure it was on point! I will come back and I will recommend this place to all of my friends :)

Perhaps I just haven’t received an excellent nail artist here. However, each time time I come here, I’m so disappointed. My nails never look their best and the nail art I receive is always bad… And I mean bad. The only good thing is their price and to get simple polish with no designs.
I’m just now finishing this review because I just moved back to California and had such an excellent nail experience. I’m the type of girl who doesn’t need perfection, but I still want my nails to look good.
The last time I went here, I hated the flower design put on my feet. I even asked them to remove it, and they seemed a little salty about it. I only come because I have many friends in that area who go for cheap services.
The only two salons I can even recommend on Oahu are Tiffany’s and Cosmic Beauty.
I know they’re out in Kapolei, but they are the only nail salons where I’ve received excellent service and art.
In addition, now that I’m in California, I found out that the way in which they shave off callouses at this nail Salon in wahiawa is illegal here. It’s that little shaving device that takes off extra skin/​callouses.
BLOOD BORN PATHOGENS. My nail tech here was telling me that she hasn’t seen anyone do that in years and you can get fined in the state of California for doing it. Instead she used a chemical peel and a buffer to remove callouses. Which is what I’m fairly certain cosmic beauty does as well.
I understand it’s probably still allowed in Hawaii, but I’m happy to be going somewhere more updated on health and sanitary techniques.
Missing Oahu choke loads, but not this nail salon!

Oh Nails Design (I wanted to reach up and take that ‘s’ off of their «Nails»)…Sue gave me a $ 19 manicure. Nothin special in terms of design, just straight up polish. Sue gives a great massage, and is very sweet and sincere. Now, on to the pedicure… I watched very carefully to see if they bleached or cleaned the pedicure tubs at the foot of the massage chairs. They did not. Being in the health care field, I found this very disturbing. I guess you get what you pay for. I mean, who the heck are they bribing to get their licensing?! That place was filthy. That being said, I’d bring my own bleach & pedi tools and get a pedi from Sue.

Okay where do i start.
Ladies, go to the guy. He is the owners brother!
he is by far one who cares about the business and the customers. He saved his staffs tips. I went in for a simple manicure. It seemed that i was such inconvenience to them. She tossed my hand around like it was a rag doll, she filed my nails so crooked I ended up redoing them when i got home. Their place does need some cleaning, there was so much dust that i sneezed while entering and exiting.
HOnestly, if you want clean go to MILiLANi area, this place is ONLY worth it if you can get that guy or the OWNER.

Moved in the area from Killeen, Texas. The eyelashes at my fav spot there were only $ 30 in a much larger upscale salon. This spot charges $ 65 and yes it is very small, however there nails jobs, eyebrow wax and pedi’s are considerably less expensive to the salons in Killeen. My eyelash job was lovely. I found less expensive locations in Honolulu for $ 50 but lets face it with the cost of gas here in Hawaii I’m better off going around the corner to this location… They are worth a go in my book.

Come here just because its near, but the only person to trust is the owner. Did my eyebrows with a one of the others and was soo disappointed with the results even though I specifically told her to clean it up, she sure did clean out… it was thin as a line and I have eyebrows that I dont have to fill in with makeup… never doing eyebrows here again and will try not to come back… ugh

Ive been living in wahiawa for about a year now and cant believe i never thought about giving this salon a chance. In a time crunch i came here to get a much needed mani & pedi. I came around 2:30pm and it was not busy, so i was taken care of right away.
Like previous reviews pointed out, it IS a small hole in the wall establishment w/​a small shared parking lot, and the salon does look fairly outdated/​dusty but the service i received and the prices i paid couldnt be beat. I saw so many people come into the salon just for eyebrow waxing so i decided to ask for that as well.
The guy who works there took care of me. I was happy with his service since he had a firm hand and was very detailed and thorough at the same. I would be glad to get him again. The girl who did my eyebrows did a good job and didnt miss plucking any stray hairs that might have gotten left behind (i checked when i got home).
So although this place might have mixed reviews, i’d return. And i’d advise anyone to at least try them if you’ve ever thought about it.

Just came here today with the husband, and I have to say that this is still one of my favorite places to get a pedicure. For one thing, it’s very affordable to get pampered. For both the husband and I to get pedicures (mine included designs), it was only $ 50. I pay that much for just myself at other nail salons. The staff here is always friendly and accommodating, even when they’re packed with customers. They always take the time to make some conversation and make you feel welcome. Plus, I always get compliments on my nails when I get them done here. :)

Okay I have to admit after several years of coming here that the place is dirty, sometimes they don’t sanitize (or it doesn’t look like it at most times).
However the service is good, the prices are hella cheap, and the staff are usually friendly and make you feel comfortable.
Everytime I come here I usually never wait, it’s straight to the eyebrow wax chair or one ic the massage chairs for a mani/​pedi.
A lot of people come here including guys so be mindful of the wait and if you want a mani/​pedi later in the day, they told me come at least 1 hour & 30minutes before they close so they don’t rush (not as a reference for a previous post)
Besides the lame parking and over all «dustiness» of the place, its good and I will continue coming here.

I reviewed the other reviews and was skeptical so I did not expect a lot. Based on previous input, we were thinking parking was going to be hard– there were 3 open spots so we were happy ! Then, although the place was packed, we booked 11 am appointments for 2 pedicures, we had to wait 25 minutes for our appts.
We were SUPER happy with the service, The utensils were clean, the pedicure was nice and relaxing. Took about 45 minutes. The guy scraped my feet, all the dead skin off ! used cuticle nips, etc. He massaged and invigorated my feet ! A spa pedi with the works and it only cost $ 20 !~ we will certainly be back, Mahalo !

OMG. this place is one jacked up nail salon. First of all … parking here sucks. Customer Service, is ok. The older woman that have me my pedi and mani, she was in a hurry because she wanted to go home. I told her that she needs to slow down and work on me, because I am a paying customer, then she went off and started talking crap in vietnamese. I told her … she better not be talking shit or else I am going to shut her ass up myself.
As she was putting color on my nails, she kept on missing the sides of my nails, and I kept on tellin her can she go back and repain the sides because she wasn’t painting them, then she coped an attitude with me and had someone paint my nails. I said. F**k it so i walked out.
I am NEVER comig to this place again. Oh btw … they don’t sterlize their instruments after they use on other clients. So if you do decide to get any services from them, make sure you ask them to spray down the inetruments with rubbing alcohol.

My aunty introduced me to this place… Been coming here for over 6 years. To wax my eyebrows and get my toes done.
Kim is my favorite. She’s really good and takes her time when shaping my eyebrows. I’ve been to several places in LA, but it’s hard to find a business that you’re happy with when it comes to waxing and nails.
Before living on Oahu, during living on Oahu and after moving to California… I still come here when on the island. I like bringing my grandma where to get pedicures.
Just came here the other day when I visited Oahu… they renovated the place.
What I don’t like is the parking. It’s a small private parking lot that is shared with other businesses. It’s free to park… but you’re lucky if you pull up and a stall is open.
They open at 9am and I believe they close at 7pm.
Give them a call… or stop by. They are really popular, even men like coming here to get pedicures! There’s many of them to service you. Small hole in the wall business. They do have a bathroom. Reasonable prices. Cash and Plastic. Not sure about checks. Walk in’s and appointments. No matter where I am… Big Island, Oahu or California… I always choose Nails Design and will fly or drive the distance.
