Yall... this place is small but looks are DECEIVING IN A GOOD WAY! THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Their nail art is fantastic. I have to say I was honestly skeptical but I noticed the reviews said to trust it and I did and now I am so happy that I did! The nail art is done by hand and having vacationed in Hawaii it has just added to the tropical experience with the Hawaiian flowers 🌺 love love love and ask for Trish and Tami!!!!

Tami is not only super talented, she’s extraordinarily sweet and a delight to chat with. It’s a no frills salon where I received world class service. Prices are competitive and on par with what you’d expect to pay at a tourist destination. If you get a pedicure be sure to upgrade to deluxe for an extra $10. You won’t be disappointed. My husband and I will certainly be back on our next trip to Waikiki. Thanks for everything Tami πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

Absolutely LOVEE Tami-A nails!! All of the nail techs are so sweet and accommodating. I had a broken nail and before coming in i tried to fix it myself with nail glue resulting in a bulky finish, But when i came in Trish fixed it right away and made sure I was comfortable with how it looked and felt before moving onto polish! They are the best at freehand flowers and their nail art is astounding. So sad I don’t live in Hawaii because I would definitely make Tami-A my go-to place!! They do not disappoint! They said their card reader doesn’t work sometimes so be sure to have cash for payment. They can get quite busy during the day but walk-ins are always welcomed :) I am obsessed, will be coming back when i get the chance

Got a mani and pedi here. I had Trish and she was amazing! She was very nice and did my nails exactly how I wanted them to be! I had to leave early and they were very accommodating to that. Prices are not outrageous, normal like most places. Big thank you because these were done for my wedding!!

Review β„–5

No, is something they do not say. What ever you want if they have it they will do it.So detailed on how to clean dead skin off your toes for the perfect pedi. Dove into both sides of my big toes for the hang nails I had in there. It was so satisfying I wanted to record it but didn’t want to be rude. I wanted gold tips but I have small nails so she did an ombrΓ© to mimick the same affect and they are so lovely. I’m in Hawaii for 5 days she knows I won’t be back, but I will never ever forget this basic pedicure on her part, meant a lot for me to get a pedi on vacation us it’s always a bad experience but this beauty of a person made me feel so comfortable where ppl in the states get so mean if you want your own flare. She’s a jem, Lili, is so sweet ask for her.

Im so glad I found Tami! My feet are finally feeling and looking right, and my nails are perfect! The prices are great and not gauging tourists like other salons in the area, and theyre so nice. I highly recommend going to see Tami if you need your nails done. I got a gel mani and pedi (which had a mint scrub and warmed lotion mixture that was luxurious), all for 73+tax!

Decent hole in the wall nail place. The lack of meticulous hygiene would freak most people out I think but Im okay with it because a mani pedi is $38 and they did a good job. I didnt have to wait either. The man who did my nails did a nice job massaging my hands and feet as well.

Review β„–11

I’m here on a vacation and didn’t have time to do my toenails for the lack of time, and I was scared to get them done here but when I did I wasn’t disappointed because Trish did a great job, and the whole team was very nice, just expect to wait sometimes because they are a little bit busy.

Review β„–22

The place doesn’t look good, let’s get that out of the way. They also don’t have a huge selection of nail polishes. However, of all the nail salons I’ve ever been to (too many to count), this place has the best quality of manicures and pedicures. I got hard gel and let me tell you, not a single scratch or chip. I was in Hawaii at the beach everyday and doing crazy activities, I wasn’t even expecting my results to last a week but they lasted a month!! I’ve never had these types of results and I’ve paid over a $100 for manicures at some high end places. The staff really puts in a lot of work.Didn’t love that they wanted to charge me $5 extra for cuticles so I passed on that.Highly recommend if you want quality, long lasting manicure.

Review β„–25

I got a gel manicure-pedicure here and the ladies who did it were very friendly and efficient. The pricing was very reasonable- don’t let the ambiance be a turn- off. This was one of the best quality mani-pedis I’ve had in a long time- my nails have survived a very active vacation- being dragged through sand, coral, sunscreen, dirt, etc. And they are still completely in tact without any scratches or chips!!! Highly recommend this place, and will definitely return on my next trip to Oahu.

My absolute favorite place to get my nails done! I tried walking in at several locations and all turned me down, except for the techs here. They did such a lovely job that I ended up getting my mani/pedi done here 3 times during my 2 month stay. When I ever come back to Waikiki, I will definitely get my nails done here! They are busy, so appointments are highly recommended.

The staff here are lovely. I got a shellac mani/pedi and eyebrow wax and was very pleased with the service.

Wonderful! I went in for a pedicure and wanted flowers put on my big toes. They were really busy but took the time to put a lot of attention to detail on the flower artwork. The pics don’t do it justice. My sons foot in the pic. He wanted to join me for the pedicure but I got a break from him.Extra friendly to customers that came in after me and they felt the wait would be too long. So they asked them nicely to come back tomorrow and kept saying β€œI hope to see you tomorrow, please come back” Next time I’m in WaikΔ«kΔ«, I would definitely only come to this salon for my flower nail art work.

Not what I expected from the high reviews on line. The salon was a hole in a wall and kind of dated. They didn’t even have a nail drying station and can really use a deep cleaning. Service was hit or miss, Tami herself was friendly, my particular nail technician was on the pushy side for more add on services.

I waited 10 to 15 minutes because they were a little busy. However when Tami got to me she was super fast. Knocked out my shellac mani, nail repair, soak off gel, and spa pedicure in 90 mins tops.

Best nail salon I’ve ever been too! I wish I lived in Oahu just to come see these wonderful people! They explained everything they were doing and were very clear about prices. They asked my opinion to confirm any service before beginning. Made sure I was happy with the shape and color/design. I understood them perfectly and they were all great conversationalists. Made me laugh constantly. Beautiful work and gentle hands. Were perfectionists and skilled artist. Their prices were moderate as well. Gel pedi is $50 and acrylic fill-in with gel is $45. Designs are $8 per two nails. But they don’t have parking so walk instead. Would recommend to the world! See my gorgeous designs on yelp! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Me and my husband paid almost $200 for two deluxe pedicures and a full set gel nails for me and two days later my pinky nail broke off and two days after that my middle finger broke off .. 70$ gel nails are supposed to be strong and sturdy their gel is really weak and a low grade the gel is soft on my nails and they put the acrylic on very thin very low grade I would not waste my time going here ever again ....

Review β„–93

Tami did an excellent job on my nails! Im avoiding Shellac atm because of the acetone required to remove it. Despite her warning that it might not last as well, the regular pedicure (with base, color, then top coat) is still intact weeks later – yes, time for another one... She actually asked me if I wanted my toe nails short, and cut them really short. She also painted them low down to the cuticle, so they havent grown out as fast as usual.Tami cleaned up and buffed my fingernails because I didnt want polish, and they are still shiny! This is the best nail salon Ive visited in Waikiki, with surprisingly competitive prices.

I had been walking by the salon a few times since staying in Waikiki and after checking out the prices and online reviews I came to give it a try and I dont regret it! They were busy but everyone was so nice and I never felt like they were rushing. The price is normal, not tourist prices so thats always a plus. Its not the prettiest shop Ive ever been too but its one of the best pedicures Ive received! Staff is great my nails/feet are perfect. I got a flower design on my nails and its the prettiest design ever! So much detail was put into it, I just love it!

Went in for a fill and color change. Asked for ombre and the male nail Tech did a terrible job blending and polish was very very thick in some spots and so thin and others that I can see my nail underneath. Left with my nails all different shapes even after asking him to fix the shape. He was also very rude to me about it. I thought this place would be awesome due to all the good reviews maybe I just got a bad Tech.
