A Place of Perfection

This salon accommodated our bridal party of seven for mani-​pedis, which I still appreciate. For some reason, I had the hardest time finding a reasonably priced nail salon to take our business and have us done within two hours or so. My aunty recommended this place, so I called and they booked us two weeks in advance. They were also able to accommodate taking the deposit over the phone since I was planning the event from Colorado.
That said, they told us to be there at 9:30 am and that they would be staffing an additional person for the morning. We showed up and to my surprise, a technician was already working on another customer not part of our party. As such, only three of us got worked on right away. Oh well. My friends were happy with their mani-​pedis and I was pleased with mine even though I’d only received the basic mani-​pedi (by choice, don’t worry). I do wish the basic manicure had a different drying method – I was instructed to hold my hands in front of a tiny fan that was blowing cold air in my face (and I was already chilly) while the manicurist ran off without further word to help finish one of the other girls in our party.
Of note, parking is easy – you can park either on the street or in the small lot for free. And I overheard them tell one of our bridesmaids that they do not accept Amex.
All in all, a successful bridal party experience. Thank you!

Don’t waste your money. They dilute the polish, including the gel. I’ve seen them do it. When the owner Kim isn’t around, the Girls are rude and lazy. I had two of them trying NOT to do my pedicure because it was «basic» so when the third woman came out sweet and happy I ordered the «super deluxe.» Nails done on Friday; by Monday my gel finger nails had chipped on three fingers. By Tuesday, my toe had chipped too! Seriously!!! I have an office job, not like I’m out pulling weeds or building !! I paid $ 90 +tip! I’ve been a customer for 8 years, bring my daughter, her friends, but Gift certificates for friends and family and they still act up !?? No thanks. I work too damn hard to squander $ 90 on diluted polish and crappy, entitled attitudes.

I always come here to A Place of Perfection to get my nails done here with my mom. The pedicures and manicures are all set a a reasonable price. Kim and all her staff are excellent with their nail service and customer service.
Also if you need an acrylic nail job done KIM is your girl for the job. She takes requests and follows designs exactly like how you want them. Finish products always come out perfect.
Plus everyone here is so friendly.
THANK YOU KIM!

Thanks KIM! As always, an outstanding experience

Do not go to this nail salon, they scam you!
If I could give this place a zero review I would!
My daughter’s and I have been their customers sadly for over a year and since we found out the truth we will not return. We found out they have been over charging us for «Gel» or «Solar Nails» and if you look on the Internet you will find that they are all the same thing, they are all «Acrylic»! (See below)
They have been lying to us and telling us we were getting gel nails or the special Solar Nails but we were just getting acrylic nails with gel nail polish on top of it and they even had the nerve to charge me for that gel nail polish separately! I am so mad!
I am going to report them to the BBB and I have already called Oahu’s Consumer Resource Center. We need to stop scammers like this from ripping off their customers!
*Examples of typical scams include:
SOLAR NAILS — Solar Nails is a BRAND of acrylic manufactured by Creative Nail Design. It is one of the original brands. It is a true acrylic and nothing more.
GEL NAILS — which are actually acrylics with a UV gel top coat.

I’ve been there a few times and always happy with my nails. Kim is by far the best. Highly recommend this place

I went here for the first time yesterday. I asked for regular acrylic, almond shaped nails and I guess that’s beyond their experience level. The owner was nice but was very pushy about more expensive services and did not listen to what I wanted. Also for almond shaped nails it’s $ 10 more for some reason… she didn’t push my cuticles back when applying my nails so it looks like I need a refill and my nails are lumpy and in even. I will never go back here.

Just left this place a few hours ago. I got a super deluxe manicure and pedicure; my girlfriend got a super deluxe pedicure. I was greeted right away from Vicki while the other ones busy working on their clients also greeted. Vicki was very sweet! Definitely loved the hot stone massage that was included in the package. Usually that’s an added feature at other places. The owner Kim came in and greeted everyone. She was also very sweet and thanked me for coming! Can’t wait to return :)
The reason why I gave a 4 star is because one of the other girls made me feel dumb for having my nails «too short»… I work a job that requires physical labor involving lifting and carrying so my nails at a shorter length is best. There’s obviously a reason why I had my nails the way it is.

Wasn’t all that great. The lady who did my nails did a crap job! She didn’t even take the time to properly shape my nail! And to add to that the shape of my nails were so off! Not even close to what I wanted it. I had to ask the lady who was doing my friends nail to try and fix it! Never coming here again

Kim is really nice. Manicure was done well. Pedicure experience was negative, felt that she didn’t feel like doing it, got a little attitude from the person, and polish chipping off on the edges the next day. They rush you out when they are closer to closing. Service so-​so.

This has been my go-​to nail salon for years, everyone is super friendly! I’ve never left unsatisfied with my nails and their pedicures are AWESOME! Best place to come on the Windward side!

After a busy day at work A Place of Perfection is a great way to end my day! Been coming to Kim for many years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Kim and her team are great and super friendly. No matter what the nail design I request they get it done!
It’s been over three months since I’ve had a pedi and a full set… Kim made sure she got my requested design done perfectly. I requested a cute Halloween design and the finished product was absolutely perfect! Tracy completed my super deluxe pedicure — hot wax, cooling gel and stone massage for my feet and legs were so relaxing. Definitely took away the aches and pains of a long day.
A Place of Perfection is exactly that! Will definitely be back and can’t wait for my next nail design!

Okay place and have been here twice. I have really sensitive feet and arthritis in joints so I always ask for the technician to go slow and gentle. Still halfway thru they forget. When painting my nails (pedicure), I only wanted two coats. I don’t like that thick shellacked look? When the technician started to do a third coat, I asked her to stop and keep it at two coats, I got a little attitude. Hello… I’m the customer and I know what I want. She had to re-​do two of my nails and didn’t seem happy about it. Oh well. Next.

This nail shop took time to do my nail design to my satisfaction. Kim has a really steady hand and can draw beautiful nail designs, it’s good to schedule an appointment first because designs take a little longer.

My mom and I went to get our pedicure done first we went to the mall one but it felt to cramp up for us. So we look up for another place to go and we found this «a place of perfection» when we enter the store It was spacey there were room to relax and not felt so cramp up. There were bright smile from the workers, one of the lady who work there came up and asked what we needed help on, and took us to our chairs right away. She gave us a small book to look at what we wanted. Me and my mom was really exhausted so we both try out the SUPER DELUXE. It comes with 30 min massage, cooling gel, hot rock, and the wax. I totally recommend this to everyone who need to take a little time out for yourself. It was such a relaxing day for us! I would love to come back and enjoy my day off here with my mom again!

Please be aware that ONLY THE OWNER EVER GETS GOOD REVIEWS! I wish I could give this place a 0! However I have to give one star just so my review goes through. Where do I even start… Hmmm. My mom and I came in for my birthday and we signed the check in where we stated what we wanted. This was our first experience to a nail salon so we went in «blind.» Two nail tech ladies came to get us and we sat in the chairs. There was never an exchange of words or confirmation on their part as to what we wanted. We assumed that they knew what we wanted based off of the sign in sheet. Well, let’s just say that we were SCAMMED BIG TIME! A bill that should have been about $ 140, ended up being over $ 180! We even went back and showed the sign in sheet and our bill. The owner’s response, «Oh the language, the language.» I’m sorry, but as an owner you should have taken the customer’s word and evidence. She did not give our money back and as a result we will NEVER go back!!! Be careful!!!

Do NOT come here for eye brow waxing! Horrible job! she didn’t wax enough and on top of it she kept asking to wax everywhere else on my body. Um, no. Oh and then she complained of my one dollar tip I left her after I asked her to wax a little more on the bottom of the brow and she told me no! She did NO waxing at the bottom of my eye brows… this has never happened before! To top it off, I still have wax on my face!

Usually when I go to a nail salon, I want quick but thorough service. I was killing some time between Christmas events and I desperately needed a pedi. I stopped in with my daughter who hasn’t had a pedicure yet in her life and the one manicure she got about a year ago traumatized her. She was a good sport tho and took advantage of our bonding time and the fact that I was paying
We didn’t have an appointment and were seated almost immediately after we chose our colors.
My daughters previous experience was on the mainland and she was 12 – 13 years old. She had a male technician who gave a very odd form of arm massage, so she had vowed to never get another mani or pedi if it was a guy. Well, don’t you know that when we were seated my tech started on my feet and sure enough her tech was a male! I got the look of teenage death and I just smiled and laughed a little inside.
My tech was quick and efficient I asked for the extra callous treatment as it had been a while and it was only another $ 5. The woman I had was courteous and not talkative which is fine with me since I was really wanting to relax. I chose a dark wine color. There are two nails that didn’t quite get a full 2^nd coating and it looks streaked. I was pleased with the rest of the service, although the massage was a little rough at times. I’m tough tho so it’s all good.
My daughter was pleased and talks about how she’ll come back for sure.
Funny story: the Victoria’s Secret runway show was on the TV and the male tech was turning every so often to catch a glimpse. When he went to place my daughters sandal bak on her foot, he put the first one on the opposite foot! The woman doing my nails laughed and joked that he was too distracted by the tv!
Overall, we had a nice relaxing experience that was reasonably priced and we will definitely go again.

My boyfriend was getting a tattoo at 808tattoo and rather than sitting around and waiting for him, I decided to do what any girl would do when needing to kill some time — shopping and getting a pedi!
I decided to come here for convenience more than anything. When I arrived I was promptly seated and Lovie started on my pedicure. From the get go I could tell she was fairly new to doing nails, but that didn’t particularly bother me. Although there were a few times when it felt like she was coming dangerously close to cutting me.
Anyway, she gave me possibly the BEST foot massage I’ve ever had at a pedicure. If only the massages weren’t so short! Afterward she painted my nails and started on the design which looked nothing like what I had originally shown her.
Luckily Kim (the owner?) came around and took over for the design which came out beautifully and exactly how I wanted it! I don’t blame Lovie for needing some help. After all, everyone has to start somewhere. I’m just glad that, in the end, I got exactly what I wanted.
I would definitely come back again! Maybe in another two weeks for my boyfriends next tattoo appointment!

Four stars just because Ashley is here. Place is clean. Pedi chairs are comfy.
Place was hard to find but easy parking
Really chill and quiet. Good temperature.
I didn’t like that they only had two options for pedicures tho: basic and super deluxe.
Besides that I enjoyed my gelish mani and pedi. Everyone was nice.
