Royal Nails

Not happy about my nails at all. I wanted a simple manicure. No designs just color and it was worst than what I would do. I basically paid for a nail file and clean up. My nail technician was very nice and chatty but I guess she just wasn’t focused on my nails? Won’t be coming here again for a manicure. I used to come here before for pedicure and gel and it always came out pretty good.

Walked in without an appt. and was able to get serviced quickly! Very friendly staff and they treated my daughter like a princess while she painted her nails. Will definitely be back again!

Omg!!! This is my first at this nail salon. My first impression was, wow! They were very busy. As soon as you walk in… Ana greets you and ask what you wanna get done. Then, they let you know how long is the wait, if you want to wait, put your name on the list and they will call you when it’s your turn… We had to wait almost 40 minutes. So my niece and I went shopping while waiting for them to call us. After several minutes they finally called us.
I must say, it’s worth the wait, Tina did my pedicure… I was impressed. I choose the $ 35. Which comes with the hot stone and wax… My feet was very happy. I got the royal Treatment. Thanks to my niece, my pedicure was free! It was my Valentine’s Day gift… Thanks Tina!

It’s busy however Anna and her crew always gives a good feel of welcome and also does a great job

Awesome nail spot, fast and high quality work done by Bui. I made an appointment be day before and was able to get in first thing be next morning. There was no wait when I got there at 9:30 and I was seated for my pedicure right away. About half an hour later the salon was packed with people! This place gets busy even on weekdays. They followed up my salon pedicure with shellac nails with pink fading and sparkles. I love the look and Bui did a great job. I liked that they were focused and dedicated to doing a good job without cutting corners. I read on another post that no cuticle oil was applied at the end, so I went ahead and asked them to do the cuticle oil once we were finished. I think he was surprised that I asked (or maybe embarrassed) but either way he quickly got the oil and I was done in a flash. I wish I lived here so I could come back again! Total was $ 73 for my nails and upgraded pedicure. Pretty good considering I was there for at least an jut or more. Worth the money and less than I’ve charged at places back home that didn’t do as nice of a job. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area.

If coming in for gel nails means: getting acrylics (liquid and powder) with a gel top coat… then you can waste your money here. Won’t be back.

Definitely my new «go to nail salon» love the quality of their work & their prices! The staff is great. Absolutely love the color on my hands and toes :)
— xo, thanks again for an awesome mani-​pedi !!

Always love coming here to get my nails done! They are such an awesome friendly staff, super warm and welcoming! If your in the Kapolei area this is the place to by go! For nails

I never leave this place disappointed. My favorites are Mai, Tina and Anna however I believe everyone here is good. Personally they get better every time as they get to know you better and personalize your visit. They also remember you even when you call. They genuinely thank you for coming and know exactly how long you haven’t come, they still remember your preferences and check to see if you still prefer the same or would like to try something different. For the most part Mai and Tina have never been pushing with the upgrading of products and services they offer which can be very uncomfortable at other places I’ve gone. Keep in mind they are super busy with their regulars so I highly recommend an appointment even with that have some patience cause you may still need to wait but for me it’s worth it

My go to Acrylic nail place. Awesome and Quick service. They do my nails evenly, Square (just how I like them!) & also so nicely painted.
Till this day other nail salons don’t compare, & leave me disappointed.
This place leaves my nails looking fabulous. & has me content as always!
Totally recommend!!! :D

Mani/​pedi with pedi hot rock star treatment scrub down was amazing. Unilocal states they open at 10am, however on a Friday morning by 945am the chairs were filled up! Even so, Cathy my pedicure & manicurist paid 1:1 attention on the work I set in front of her! She scrubbed, rubbed, massaged, soaked, trimmed, clipped, trimmed, filed me to a vacation perfect pedicure! My manicure is also the bomb! Perfectly square, clean, cuticles so pulled back & gone, I’m amazed at how pretty my fingers really are! My vacation truly started when I left Royal Nails, thank you Cathy!!!
P. S. No military discount

Bui did a great job! Great recommendations, didn’t take too long and I walked out the door and 5 mins later someone commented on my beautiful nails! He’s a rockstar!

What I envisioned was a nice, soothing, relaxing manicure & pedicure. What I got. was a rush job massage that I did not enjoy AT ALL!
For the price I paid for my gel mani & pedi, I don’t think it was worth it. Within days my nails were already chipping. Isn’t gel supposed to be long lasting? Whatever the case, I could’ve saved money & did it myself!

Good job. Massage as too short. It’s twice as expensive as the mainland for a little less.
It did the job but not impressively.

I feel like I’m being robbed $ 26 from this place. Oh yeah, they are very friendly as soon as you walk in on the door but DO NOT LET THAT GREETING FOOL YOU! I repeat, DO NOT. They told me to go and sit on chair number 8, the chair was wet and dirty and I even had to ask them for a rug to wipe it. As I waited for the guy to do my pedi, I already had a bad feeling that this experience is going to suck. Lo and behold, after 8 minutes he’s already done with my nails. I should have trusted my instinct about this place. Take your money somewhere else.

They did such a good job! There were 4 of us and they did a beautiful job, they were quick and it was very relaxing! Great way to start out our vacation

I’ve been going to the one in Ewa Beach since it’s so much closer to me but I must sat honestly it still does not compare to the original one in Kapolei! Kapolei the staff seems nicer and seems to communicate better to keep customers happy! Although I’ve been away a bit, I’ve got to say Trung is still super amazing at what he does! He is a perfectionist and he takes his time to have you leaving satisfied!

I’m so upset. I spent 60 $ on my nails and the fake nails came off easily within a week!

Rule 1: ALWAYS follow your instinct
Rule 2: Loyalty matters — exercise it
Rule 3: Obey Rules 1 & 2
Pressed for time, I made the fatal flaw of making an appointment at this nail salon because it’s conveniently located where I live. Nothing spectacular stands out with this salon — it’s the run of the mill nail «factory.»
Having made an appointment for 11 a.m. meant nothing to them since I still had to wait over 40 minutes for a chair to open up. I doubted my decision to go there and proceeded to return the polish I had already selected for application (i was intending to leave) when this woman who I am assuming to be the manager/​owner came and pleaded for me to wait a little longer since a chair will be opened up shortly. She walked me over to the foot spa tub/​chair and insisted that the space will open and I will be worked on.
It was too late for me to run out. The woman practically had my foot in her hands before I could even protest. To be honest, I was very embarrassed. I didn’t want to cause a scene and after the manager pleading for me to stay, I had everyone’s attention. So I stayed.
I applauded her eagerness to keep a customer but I soon found out that in order to fill these chairs with customers, quality is compromised in cleanliness, hygiene and service. The foot soak was not cleaned after the last customer and I’m probably sure that the filters on these tubs are not cleaned as well. The same foot utensils that were used with the prior customer is not cleaned/​sanitized. Gross.
My pedicure was rushed. She was nipping away at my cuticles but I swear I don’t know what she was nipping at since I didn’t feel a thing nor see a difference. I feel my toenails were not as clean and buff. Toe separators were not used and in the end my toes ended up smudging the polish. They literally rush you off that chair so that the next customer can get serviced. Needless to say, I was not a happy customer.
Lesson learned, stick to your instinct and stay loyal to a company that you’ve patronized for years. Convenience does not always equate to quality service and goods. The royally convenient location of this place makes it a very, very busy place. I don’t suspect people get much personal service here, I certainly didn’t. So again, I guess I’ll trek up the H1 to town for all my nail services. Lesson learned — follow the rules.

So, I got my nails done one afternoon because I desperately needed it. This isn’t my go-​to nail salon but the gelish I had was lifting off and I have the tendency to bite my nails all off when there isn’t any pretty polish on them. Phew! That was a run on sentence.
Anyways, they took me immediately upon walk in and I sat down with a gentleman… don’t know his name. He did my nails fast and I liked the color.
The salon itself isn’t that clean and most of the bottles of polish were empty and sad looking.
Two stars because the gelish here started to lift within 5 days– NOT cool!
