Perfect Nails & Beauty Supply

This was my wife and my first time to Perfect Nails Makaloa. We had called ahead and asked how much a manicure and pedicure would cost and was told that it would cost $ 35 per person for a manicure-​pedicure combination. We told them we’d be right over.
Almost everything that you have read on Unilocal about Perfect Nails Makaloa is true: Laura was very personable, and her staff provide excellent customer service, and very good manicure and pedicures. However, I was very surprised when our total price together came out to $ 84.00 — $ 40.00 per person for manicure and pedicure, and $ 2.00 for tax. Laura explained to me that it was because they had raised the price of the mani-​pedi combo a month ago. If that is the case, Laura please educate all of your staff to tell customers who ask on the phone that it is $ 40.00 for a mani-​pedi. Would you also please change your signage — which also states $ 35 for a mani-​pedi?
We would recommend our friends to go to Perfect Nails Makaloa for the very good service, skillful technicians, and convenient location in town. My wife and I would definitely return if we needed a manicure in a pinch — which we did. However, we will continue to go the extra mile to Perfect Nails Aina Haina the next time we need a manicure — where for $ 35 you will get a mani-​pedi, massage chair with jet bath in every chair, callous removal, and hot towel foot wrap incuded in that $ 35 price.
If you live in town, definitely go to Perfect Nails Makaloa for their $ 40 mani-​pedi (deluxe callus removal and hot towel foot wrap is $ 10 extra) — Laura’s team is friendly and their technicians are top-​notch. We are both pleased with the results of our manicure — pedicure combo. Thank you, Perfect Nails Makaloa!

The first time I came here the girl I got was horrible but she truly tried! I think she was new. The second time I came here I got a better job done but my man friend treated me and my girlfriend and he got charged $ 90 per gel nail set, the owner is a greedy spiteful fake! My friend let it go but I still hate she did it.

Very disappointed! Don’t go here, they have poor customer service and poor quality workmanship!
Very unprofessional! I would never come here again! I’ll stick to the nail salon located in Walmart! They provide exceptional workmanship, customer service and it lasts longer.

Seems that all the nail salons in this area are on the pricier side. $ 25 for a pedi here which doesn’t include any exfoliation– you really get the bare minimum. Kind of annoyed me that they don’t let you control the massage chair, you have to ask and they do it for you. This place gets extremely hot from 12 – 3 as the sun beams in. There are better places up the road.

OMG! I don’t understand how anyone can give this place a bad review.
The massages are incredible, the prices are reasonable and the staff is really friendly.
We got a mani pedi with a deluxe add on and UV dried gels. Normally this would cost about $ 120.00. But we paid only $ 85.00.
The deep tissue massage alone is worth $ 85.00.
The service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back.

This nail place is very small; 5 chairs. However, don’t let that fool you! The girls take there time (deluxe pedicure 1 hour) and are very particular with everything they do. The foot and leg massage was amazing! I liked that I was able to relax and enjoy the pedicure; I can’t stand going into a nail place and the tech constantly talks. Very relaxing, quiet place. Overall, great experience! Would definitely come back again!

Lack customer. I have come here before and it was not bad. I would not come here to relax. Too noisy. It’s always empty when I have been there. I always leave a tip but I really did not feel they deserved a penny more. The massage my hands only for 5 mins and the toes only. WTH. Disappointing cause I had a great experience the first time I came here. The own sets the tone and she is very unfriendly.

I wanted to like this place so much. I was starting to get disappointing results from my usual place & was in a jam one day and found this place. I went in & T took me right away. I picked my colors and she started. I showed her a pic of the shape I wanted and she got to it. I loved my nails. I was so happy that I finally found someone who did the coffin shape well.
So today was time for a new set. I took my last set off yesterday and went in this morning to get them redone. I couldn’t remember which one was T so I just went with who picked me. No biggie. Or so I thought. I picked my colors and sat down. I showed her a picture and she said no problem. Lies. This lady couldn’t get it together to save her life. I sucked it up for as long as I could but when one side was completely straight & the other had an angle I had to say something. She still didn’t get it. I’m really not that picky. I understand Pinterest isn’t all that realistic but can you at least try?
She finishes my right hand & I can’t even explain the shape of my thumb. It looks like a huge chunk was taken out. I asked her if there was something she could do to fix it. I could tell actually asking to get what I wanted was pissing her off because she was getting more and more aggressive.
Finally she finishes. The shape sucked but whatever. I was so over being there. I’m looking at the polish and I swear it looked like my 7 year old did it. A whole part wasn’t polished. Asked her if she could fix that. Such an inconvenience. I paid. I still tipped. Not as much as I tipped T, but I’m not a total jerk.
Fast forward FOUR FRIKKEN HOURS. one of them popped off. Straight flew off like it was taped on. I went back down and told her it came off. She was polite and took me and started to fix it right away, asked if I was ok, if it hurt. We talked about my daughter (who was with me) then before I knew it it was painted & she told me all done.
Yeah. Fantastic. I have 9 coffinish shaped nails and one completely square. She didn’t even try. I put the second tip back in my purse & thanked her and walked out. I had to come back down because her shoddy work & she couldn’t at least attempt to make it match.
I’m probably going to end up filing this one myself. Do t worry lady, I’ll do your job.

This place is very detail oriented. They take the time to do an amazing job and are very sweet. I have never received better service for a pedicure. It was perfect, I’ve found my pedicure place in Honolulu. Thi is awesome!

Aloha! I have been going to this The Perfect Nail Salon location for over six (6) years and love my manicurist, Leslie. She has always been super professional and extremely proficient in the spa/​beauty experience. I always feel pampered and my pedicures lasts on an average 5 weeks with no chips and/​or flaking color fading. They use OPI products :) amazing! Call her for an appointment… today
Love her and her staff… If you ever have some time available, call her and schedule a super ladies day!

Background: I used to get my mani and pedi from Kim. I would see her about every 6 weeks. It was the best mani and pedi ever. She would really take her time with the pedi. She would massage my feet and legs with tiger balm, which I loved! Plus Kim was super nice.
Fast forward 1 year to August 2014: I went in and was told that Kim no longer works there. I tell them that’s sad but I still want my mani and pedi, so «T» offers to do my mani and pedi. Below is a list of the pros and cons:
PROS:
1) Cheap
2) The massage that comes with the regular mani/​pedi is really good. Ask for the tiger balm because it adds an extra kick to you pedi.
3) Great selection of polish colors
CONS:
1) T used a cuticle cutter to remove the dry skin/​callus off my feet. She did not use a new shaver blade. I mentioned it and she said it was new. (Looking back on it, I probably should have told her not to use it because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t new and now the germaphob in me is grossed out).
2) T cut my one of my toes while she was doing the pedi and then put some type of alcohol on it which hurt a lot.
3) During my mani, T cut 2 of my fingers with a cuticle cutter. At this point, I was really irritated because she already cut my toe with the cuticle cutter, and then she cut 2 of my fingers. I’m not really sure if she’s new but I’ve never had a mani/​pedicurist cut me during my mani/​pedi.
4) Parking is hard to get because there is a limited amount of stalls, so I usually park on the street. Street parking is expensive especially because the mani/​pedi takes almost 2 hours.
In all fairness, I’m probably going to go back but not to T because she cut me 3x. I’m going to ask for another mani/​pedicurist.

Very happy with my pedicure! Price is super reasonable and staff are nice. Only drawback was that it was really hot in the salon, but that won’t stop me from going back.

On a Friday morning I decided to visit Perfect Nails for a gel mani and pedi completely spontaneously. I was in the area and the place looked friendly enough.
From the outside the place looks a little sketch, but the interior is a nice surprise. It was clean and spacious. Everyone was friendly and all smiles.
The product was also of quality. They carried the OPI gel nail color. I prefer OPI to some of the other brands that are much easier to find in your small neighborhood nail salon.
I will be returning to the salon in the future no doubt.

So I went in today to get a full set of gel nails. I was rushed to pick a color and then helped by one of the older ladies. She applied the glued on tips (without speaking one word to me –in fact, probably talking about us in vietnamese) and walked away, telling me to wait 5 minutes. I waited for probably a good half an hour before another lady called me over to finish my nails –very roughly I might add. When she finally finished my nails I had noticed that my two pointer fingers were not the same lengths and when I pointed them out to her, she had apologized and did nothing to fix it. There was no tip left because of their poor service and lack of caring for the customer. Do not recommend and personally will not go back.

I had originally come on Unilocal to write about my toe infection that I received from Perfect Nails & Beauty Supply but I was distracted as I read many reviews about lost rings. The lady massaging my hand happened to massage my ring right off my hand and it fell on the floor. She said she didn’t notice that I had a ring on. I didn’t think anything of it until I read all of these other reviews.
Anyways, back to my original reason for coming on Unilocal.After being rushed to get my nails done, both manicure and pedicure at the same time, my toe was red and throbbing with pain. I noticed that after the lady dug the tool around my cuticles, she threw it back into the drawer. My toe was sore for about 2 weeks and the red infected area exploded with pus later on that night.
Needless to say, I’m never going back here and I hope no one else has to experience this type of pain.
Also, the lady didn’t even talk to me while doing my nails.

I am appauled by the behavior of the owner and staff of this Salon. I spoke to the woman who was rushed out of there on 11−3−12 after her manicure and pedicure only to discover she left her wedding ring. When she returned the Salon owner did nothing to help her and suggested to this disrtressed woman that the ring was in her purse. How is that a very recognizable item like a wedding ring mysteriously dissapears and nobody in the salon offers any help to find it. It sounds like to me like they were covering up. DONT EVER GO TO THIS SALON! Justice will eventually prevail.

Hooray! We’ve found «our» nail salon!!!
Going for pedis is a favorite group activity amongst my girlfriends and family and we have been on a quest to find the ideal place. Perfect Nails fits our needs on many levels.
1. It has more than five chairs… essential for our group.
2. The chairs give great massages! You can do the circle-​y spirals, the side-​to-​side slappies, the knead or something else that I can’t recall due to the fact that I was in a relaxed stupor by the time I tried the last button.
3. The salon is clean! The floors, tools, basins… all seemed sanitary and fresh.
4. Good ventilation. DiL is expecting the family’s First and no mommy-​to-​be should inhale fumes!
5. Nice staff! They gave us plenty of time to select our colors. When they sensed I was overwhelmed the manager helped me narrow the selections.
6. Close to our neighborhood. Before we discovered Perfect Nails our only unanimously approved salon was in Waimanalo… a bit too far when we have only a couple of hours for our outing.
7. Affordable! Prices are very reasonable.
I highly recommend Perfect Nails. Let me know what you think when you give it a whirl!

I went for a pedicure. I’ve been to many different salons for pedicures. Never have I been somewhere where they spent a mere ½ hour on me.
So sloppy and I asked for a fade out. They told me that I could get any color I wanted. I chose the color I wanted only to get a different color for $ 8 more!
I will never go back!

My toenails were beginning to looked like chipped talons and I was desperate enough to decide quickly after dinner in town with my daughter that I’ll have a pedicure.
As I sat there in Like Like Drive-​Inn, I Unilocaled and entered «pedicures». It brought up all the locations that were near.
Perfect Nails and Beauty Supply was right in that neighborhood to where I dragged along my daughter because my toes needed some lovin’.
As I entered the salon, I noticed that all of the pedicure stations were taken except for the last one towards the back.
After sharing my request, I was asked to pick a color. After choosing my color, I was about to sit down but they suggested that I could sit in the last pedicure station and soak my feet in warm water (oh yeah!) while waiting for my salon person to take care of my nails.
aaahhhhh…relaxation especially because their massage chairs kneaded my back
Ambiance: Typical nail salon that is clean with a flat screen tv to watch while you have a pedicure
Prices: Reasonable
Although this is not my regular salon, I would recommend this salon to individuals who are in town.

From the looks of the exterior of this shop, it looks rather tacky with all their special prices posted on the show window (of their nail services). However, when you go into the shop, it’s quite spacious and clean; not your special spa, though, just an ordinary nail salon.
There are usually 3 — 4 ladies working there and are very nice and polite. Walk-​ins are welcome. I never make an appointment for my pedicure. There’s been a couple time I had to wait, but never more than 15 – 20 minutes. I’ve been going here for a few months and am always satisfied with my pedicure.
Great prices for pedicure, only $ 22 and if you want a mani-​pedi it’s $ 32. I usually just get a basic pedicure with nail art on my toes, which brings the total cost to $ 31.50 including tax (tip extra).
I’ve had all 3 ladies do a pedi on me at some time. They all do a fairly good job. One lady seems to specialize in manicure mostly. I’ve seen her do a regular manicure on a client and she did a glitter polish in the gel style (although it was not gel manicure). They looked really great!
They take their time with each client, the usual cuticle & callous removal and mini-​massage of your feet/​legs. Over the few months I’ve been going there, I’ve seen other repeat clients (even men, too).
Might I add, their English is not very good, but somehow I always manage to get my point across to the lady as how I would like my flower painted on my toe nails.
Perfect Nails is right next to City Café so you can even plan on getting a shave ice right after your pedi. Make it a ‘treat day’ we all deserve.
