Hawaiian Nail Bar

I have been going here for about 2 yrs and I’ve always been satisfied with my nails and the service, but the last few months it seems as the service is getting worse. The lady that did my nails today was extremely rude, she even got loud with me and told me since it took so long to do my nails because of me wanting her to do it correct the first time, she lost 2 customers! From start to finish it approximately 1 hr which is the AVERAGE time. When I ask for a new set she kept trying to take half of the old acrylic off instead of completing removing it all, hint. I ask for NEW set. Either lazy or incompetent.

I tried to give this nail salon a chance. I went for 4 months solid. I tried Nexgen on my nails but always had a sloppy application (the powder was all over my fingers) and they would break after a few days. Then when I switched over to gel they gave me a tough time about that. I find that the pushiness in sales and the lack of professionalism by the team to be really annoying when you are trying to pamper yourself. I specifically remember walking in and someone at the front pointing to the back and saying take a seat. I look at the mani stations and three different women are all on their iPhones ignoring me. After standing around awkwardly for 2 minutes they finally sat me. All around, the quality of work, the lack of professionalism, and the attitude of the employees makes me want to never go back.

I used to live up the street so this was my nail spot for getting my nails done. I was never happy with the application, regardless of what kind of nail polish or treatment I got. The gels chipped within a week and the powder nail was always filed unevenly. The staff is not the friendliest. One good thing about them is that they do have a wide variety of nail polish colors but the cons outweigh the pros. Not really a place to come back to.

Like another Unilocaler stated, if you are looking for a nice quiet relaxing day at the spa, go elsewhere. But for me, sneaking away from my two young kids is tough and I need something quick. I made an appointment for a full set of nails (ended up doing the Nexgen) and was in and out in 40 minutes. Skye did my nails and did a quality job complete with a little hand massage at the end. I will be back for sure

I don’t know why I came back here. My regular nail place was closed! They give really awful service here. They’re pushy, they put the least amount of effort into their work, and they charge you for EVERY thing that you can imagine that normal nail places don’t do. I literally feel awful & appalled after leaving this place. Please don’t waste your Time Or your Money here! For awful quality nails & awful service. Check out LD nails on northwest highway, I’ve been going to them for 3 years & it’s WORTH the extra 15 min to get there. *still cringing about hawaiian* & never coming back.

Put so much polish on my nails it took forever to dry and looked horrible once it dried. My eyebrows were also waxed unevenly. Will never ever ever be back.

I only go here because a dear friend works here. Other than that, the business owner makes my skin crawl. He stands around with a sucker in his mouth, and the way he speaks to the employees is coarse. He stands up from the reception desk, leans over the wall and at times, yells to employees. He speaks Vietnamese and loud, and it’s difficult to tune him out and relax. I also witnessed his disbelief that a service provider got a specific tip, so he made her call the patron in front of him. She was embarrassed and he didn’t care. He talks about how many employees he has and now he «makes money» but the place is dirty, chairs are worn and dirty, wax rooms are gross with product laying around, people’s hair on the towels, etc. He’s is absolutely unprofessional, rude, and the business suffers because of the way he treats people.

If you are looking for a relaxing, high-​end spa-​like experience, this is not your place. But if you’re like me and frequently get your nails done for the look/​clean-​up (rather than the relaxing «spa-​day» element), the price and quality of service can’t be beat!
Some customers have issues, which I’ve witnessed firsthand, because they are either very impatient or very rude to the staff. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar! Be kind to the staff. They work hard and will treat you (and your nails) with the same amount of respect and kindness you give them.
I come here about every 3 weeks and will keep coming back. They stay open late which is extremely unique compared to other nail salons and helpful for my schedule. They also serve complimentary wine and daiquiris — they aren’t the most delicious you’ve ever had but it’s free!
John and Rose are the best! John’s pedicure can’t be beat. The staff always recommends the higher priced pedicures (which may be great), but I always get the Milk & Honey which is around $ 28.00 and still feels like a higher-​tiered service. Rose takes her time to make sure my nails are shaped perfectly. I get the NexGen on my nails, which I wear long, so it takes time to apply. NexGen can either end up looking awesome or terrible — Rose always does a great job.
This location can get extremely busy so if you can’t wait a little bit without complaining, go elsewhere or make an appointment. I think they do a good job on accommodating clients as I’m almost always a walk-​in and haven’t ever had to wait for more than 15 minutes. They also have a lot of staff members!
I’m happy with the level of service I receive here and my nails always look perfect!

I have had wonderful manicures here but every time I come for a pedicure, I leave feeling ripped off. All their nice pedis are priced at $ 38 and I’ve tried about 3 of them. They are very short with the treatment and it always seems as though they are in a hurry. Also, it’s not a very relaxing atmosphere. The workers are always yelling at each other and across the shop. And this last time I went, I was disappointed to see several of them yelling at the poor Hispanic lady that cleans up after everything. It made me sad for her. They should be more personal with their service and if they want to charge so darn much, they should put more time and effort into their pedis. :(

Cathy has been taking care of my nails for years. She is the only one I go to so I can’t comment on other techs. I’ve always been greeted by name and treated well. For us in the service industry, the hours are a life saver. I don’t ever have time to go in during normal business hours anywhere else. She knows I’m a hairdresser and spends extra time massaging my hands and fingers since they are constantly beat up. I do nexgen with an added tip and I’ve never had a nail chip or break and they are only $ 45! She is a perfectionist and after my first couple of sessions with her years ago, she has gotten my signature coffin shape down to an art. I always have random people on Instagram asking who does my nails and I send them to her, she’s always so gracious when she sees me after a new client I’ve sent her. I won’t ever leave her and will follow her wherever she goes. Do I think she’s worth more than a chain nail salon? Yes. But she is where she is and I will go to see her every two weeks regardless.

So my experience has been hit and miss with this place. I have been 5 times, each time for a different service. The shellac manicure was the best experience i had, it was your average mani at a decent price. I went in for a pedi it was terrible and overpriced, i went in for stiletto nexgen nails they were way too long i asked the guy to go shorter and he said he couldnt didnt even try, i went in the next time to get my nexgen removed and get regular polish it took forever but it was an average paint job after that nothing great. I just went back to get regular squared nexgen nails. Its a friday night so i actually went to lush (across the street where i recieved a spectacular short stiletto nexgen nail just previous) but they had a 45 minute wait and i was tired so i tried to rush it by going to hawaiian. So i walk in to hawaiian and ask how long the wait is the man tells me there is no wait, great im sleepy and i have a ball to go to tomorrow and my nails need to be on point. I pick a color and sit down. A lady lays down acetone to start soaking nails. Its been 15 mins and my hands are starting to feel funny. I remove my hands and my previous nails have melted off and my hands are ghost white so i just took them out of the acetone. The nail lady comes back over and then asks me if im doing gel nails i tell her no its nexgen and she asks me to chose a color i said i already chose one but she tells me again go pick another. I walked with her to the colors and pointed at the one i wanted (again) and told her i want that and i want one nail covered in jewels she said ok go sit down. Shes doing my nails shortly after and they are a great shape. They are drying about 45 mins later and i ask her about the jewels and she says its too late that she cant add anything now. my face sunk i was so upset the bejweled nail literally was going to bring my nails together. She knew i was upset and said again they are dry i cant add now, and i just said thats fine… she didnt try to fix it or anything. I went home and added jewels myself with my shellac polish and jewels… for $ 45 and 1 hour 10 mins i expected more. Im done with this place for good. My advice pay a little extra and go to castle nail spa they have the best pedis ever or go to lush the best nexgen for low price!

I have always had decent experiences here… But today was great. Anthony did an incredible gel manicure. I cannot recommend him enough! I’m definitely going to be a regular. I’m so impressed!

Place is clean but I feel that I waste my money here. I did the gel manicure its «suppose» to last 2 weeks but it started chipping after the third day, one of my nail color came off completely and then the other … Color just lasted a week!

ASK for Anthony, he’s fantastic! I found this place by accident when I was looking for another salon open late. This is the BEST mani/​pedi I have ever had in my life. I use regular nail polish and I had a manicure that lasted 5 days!!! And my hands looked amazing! They are open LATE which is super convenient when a girls’ gotta handle her business!

Pedicures are average and expensive. if you just want a basic pedicure, be prepared to be pressured! I was on a budget that day, and had to just to the basic pedi. The guy who did it was irritated and rude. I then got a 15 minute pedicure from start to finish! He rubbed each leg and foot once.
I have been going to this place for years and I feel like this happens every time I don’t spend $ 40 on a pedicure. It was great when it opened but gets worse every time I go.

My first time here and they did a great job on my fill and spa pedicure. However, the pedicures are a bit pricey because of all the extras. I would love a more basic option for cheaper. Drinks are complimentary and the hours are extremely convenient. Overall a pretty good place!

Only nail place in town that stays open until midnight. And they serve alcohol. It’s a party! We came when it was busy so I’ll give them a little leeway, but it was pretty messy. Still sanitary, but there are nicer places I have been to. However, the guy who did my nails was great. Ask for Anothony! Very accommodating and friendly. Several pedicure options to chose from. Good quality for the cost. I’d come back!
FYI Was a little hard to find via GPS it’s on the far end next to LA Fitness in the front of the shopping center.

Truly awful and unhygienic. Stay away!!! Seriously.
The lady tried to use a towel to put under my feet that had previous toe nail clippings on it. How sick is that!!! So I said «that towel isn’t clean, can you please get another one.» She looked at me like I was a bitch and yapped a bunch in her native language to her co workers…
She just coated on the nail polish until it was goopy and it wouldn’t dry. I waited for over 30 minutes, left, and my toenails were completely ruined.
I wouldn’t go back to this place. Ever, even if it were free. Scratch that… EVEN IF THEY PAID ME!

This place is really something else. So I strayed from my usual place (Gloss nail salon) and came here bc a friend said this was her go to. I got a pedi and gel mani. Pedi was standard, they didn’t do anything extra besides try to upsell the other pedicure options to me. I stood my ground and told them nope, just the regular pedicure for me. They line their foot tub with a bag which looks funny but it’s more sanitary, so it’s fine with me.
Someone else (Steven) worked on my gel manicure and it was overall ok. So, here is the issue I have with them. They very loudly advertise a «14 day guarantee for gel, acrylic manicure». They give you this card at the end of your session that says the date, your polish color and who your manicurist was. It says on the card «1^st week total replacement, second week repair chipped nails only». Sounds fair right? So I arrive on my 7^th day (still the first week, yup) and they tell me «nope you can’t change colors, it’s going to be $ 20 if you do. I can repair the chipped ones for you». I argue with them for a bit to no avail. They just kept repeating themselves and really didn’t understand that I was telling them they were falsely advertising. Defeated, I just asked for my gel polish to be removed entirely.
I will not be returning here, for the same price I can get a much better mani pedi without the hustling and false advertisement.

This place is a no.
I have been going here on and off for over a year, and I have had more negative experiences than positive.
There is an older lady who has little glasses, wears her hair up in a little clip, and always has pearls on. She tried to offer me the $ 60 pedicure, but when I repeated that I wanted the milk and honey, she began to talk bad about me in Vietnamese. Being appalled and honestly a little pissed, I asked, «excuse me??» And the young lady doing my manicure looked horrified and asked, «you understood her??» The older lady apologized immediately for whatever she said and kept quiet the rest of the time I was there. However, I already felt insulted and was very displeased with this place once again.
The woman’s restroom is frequently in use, so they tell you to use the men’s restroom. The men’s bathroom is dirty, looks like a janitors closet, and never has any paper towels.
There was one lady named PAM who gave me the worst gel powder mani I have ever had. She didn’t clean up underneath the nail with that needle file thing, and I had so much hard gunk under my nail that it stuck to my skin. On more than one nail. I was highly disappointed again.
When you leave a tip at the front, the owner Danny or his father in law will yell the amount over the music so everyone can hear. Its like… Really? Shouldn’t that be confidential?
I’ve never had acrylic or gel powder done that I like. Either from Pam, Kathy, or Asia. I’ve gotten mani’s and pedi’s from many other nail tech’s there, but they were very quiet and didn’t tell me their names.
I do believe it’s over priced for the quality of the place and the service they give.
On another note, I had my eyelashes done there only one time. Anyone wanting to get their lashes done at a nail salon, DONT. I had no idea the dangers of it.
They use poor quality lashes and glue from wholesale. Most of the time they aren’t actually certified for it. The glue they used caused a major allergic reaction and my eye lids were swollen shut. They packed on three eyelashes on my one, and I looked like clown. It was terrible, horrible experience.
After a year of giving them chances to impress me, I have to be honest and say this is the worst nail salon in Dallas.
Do not waste your time or money. Just don’t.
