Cutie Nails

I love this place! I especially adore vicky. She totally took care of me. Both my feet and hands needed a lot of care. She knew that too when she saw me lol. From the first second I sat in the seat for my pedi I was in good hands. She worked diligently to make sure my nails were all clean and no ingrown nails etc. Not to mention she does an awesome massage which I always fall asleep. By the time I wake up I’m done and my feet are perfect! No cracks in my heels, my nails are gorgeous, and most of all I’m completely relaxed. I live on the north shore but willingly travel across the island to have my nails done by vicky. That’s how good this place and people are! :):)

This place is awesome! The staff is very friendly. They did a wonderful job on my nails! I got acrylic and it was only $ 25. Great deal and they are beautiful! Thanks Cutie nails! This is going to be my new go to. Next time I will get a pedi too!

That guy does a cute full set cheap $ 27 the cute little older lady did my brows $ 10.50 she did soooo good and when I was tearing up she gave me one tissue haha love her

Amazing little gem to get your nails done. We did walk in for pedicures and they got my party of 3 in quickly with no issues. Great nail art, fantastic pedicures, reasonable prices, and professional employees. They went out of their way to make it a great experience.

I normally have my nails done at Top Nails in Kaimuki. Today I decided to go to Cutie Nails. It’s located in Waimanalo behind the 76 gas station. Service is fast and the tech, Johnny was great. He gave a real pleasant foot and hand massage. I’m impressed with the foot scrub he did. My feet are super soft now. My only gripe was it’s expensive. I guess I’m just used to the same great service from Top Nails at half the cost.

All of my friends come here because it’s conviently located in Waimanalo, they say everyone is good and yes I believe so, even though they only been working not too long, they are very friendly and if you call to make an appointment they get you in as quickly as possible and is very professional and clean and they don’t try to upsale or rush you, only 1 technician who does designs and that takes a little time, the only thing was I also wanted a certain design with fireworks and she did something different, Johnny was good, nice, and funny, and the girl who does the eyebrows and extensions did my design, very nice and pretty, but she did say she was tired.

Love this place! It is clean and very tranquil. All of the technicians are friendly and skilled. I can’t rave about the pedi massage they give… so good! And if you want a specialized design on your toes, they make it happen.

It’s been years since I last visited, at least 5? but I was in the area and my nails were looking busted so I stopped by. They might be under new ownership but I still enjoyed the service and the price was very reasonable. I did call ahead to see if I needed an appt. but the guy on the phone said to just come in. i waited less than 10mins. $ 25 for soak off and gelish with design. Perfect.

Great pedicure today at Cuties! Beautiful, clean, awesome massage chairs and sweet friendly staff. Thank you!

My bf’s mom recommended this place to me and I will definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone, even men who want their feet scrubbed. Their massage chairs are good to relax in. The staff is friendly and their nail tech guy is awesome. My gel nails lasted quite a while even though I work at a place where I wash dishes a lot. Definitely 5 stars!

Today was my first time at Cutie Nails. Let me just say, it was the best pedicure I’ve ever had! John was so meticulous and made my feet and toes look amazing. The foot and leg massage was the best and the massage chairs were so relaxing. It is a clean and modern looking shop that is very welcoming. I will definitely be back!

My girlfriends know how much I love strip lashes. I wear them every chance I get — even to the beach (GASP! Yeah, yeah. Don’t judge.) and hiking excursions. Love the look but don’t enjoy the hassle of on-​off-​on-​off everyday so I tried extensions again. I’ve had them on for only about an hour now but I love them! And their tech, Ai, is awesome. She’s friendly and meticulous with her work. Definitely going back to see Ai when these babies fall off. Process takes about an hour and they’re running a $ 60 special right now. Call ahead because the deal is by appointment only.

I’ve been coming to Cutie Nails for many years and have enjoyed getting my lashes done with Ai… She is AWESOME at making my lashes look full, long, and natural! I am constantly getting complimented on how beautiful my lashes are and how real they look. Their staff is always so friendly and welcoming and I definitely recommend them to everyone looking for a professional nail salon on the windward side of Oahu!

Went here because of the ratings from my gentle-​hearted Unilocaling brethren.
Maybe the day I went for a pedicure was Opposite Day, because … no. 5-​stars were nowhere to be seen when I went.
I called to see if I could make a same-​day appointment. Guy on the phone is a curt and borderline rude, but … okay! Maybe he just bit into a gummi bear that disappointed all expectations! Whatev. Don’t care. Tells me I can come «now». I say, Cool — I’ll be there in 5 minutes. 5 minutes later, I walk in – and I have an uncomfortable exchange with the same guy, who seems completely confused by my presence. Finally tells me to pick out a color and take a seat. 20 minutes later, I’m picked up by an attendant. (Soo … not «now». A «soon», or «how about half an hour from now?» might have been a better fit here.)
The soak was not so great, because the chair’s weren’t so great. They’re «massage chairs» — but weird, monolithic varieties. I’d adjust the setting on mine to «rolling/​lower back», but in a couple minutes, it’d go back to the default — which is apparently set to not-​so-​mild karate chops right at the base of the skull. Not relaxing at all. In most Steven Segal movies, that move causes paralysis and death. (DISCLAIMER: yes, I’m a short person — so default settings are rarely my friend. However, most machines WILL take newly-​input settings.)
After the pedicure, the nail tech offers me the chance to sit and dry in the massaging chair, or sit under the nail dryer. Very considerate! Until the tech next to her says, She can’t — we need that chair. (There are other massage chairs open at this point.) Okay, no worries. I «choose» the nail dryer. (It should be noted that this isn’t a fancy UV dryer: it’s a regular oscillating fan that’s been nailed to the wall and oriented down.) So I sit under the fan, and try to conjure up some post-​pedicure afterglow with my magazine. I got through maybe 1 article before that same tech who quashed the massage chair option came over, said, «Okay — you’re done» and turned off my fan. Then she turned around and waited for me expectantly by the register.
A lot of things can’t come across in text — I get that. But it was like enjoying the crap out a Blow-​Pop as a kid, and the babysitter walks across the room, yanks it out of your mouth, and throws it in the trash before you even got to the gum. Just because she could. THAT was how this tech acted.
And it was a completely EMPTY ROW of fans! I was the only one sitting there!
The tech who actually did my nails did a good job, overall. (I still walked out with polish on the skin, which is … saddening.) But with the less-​than-​stellar phone etiquette, combined with the nail tech who makes Katinka from «Zoolander» seem like a kindergarten teacher … man, I’ve had better! $ 30 for a pedicure AND it’s in Waimanalo? I say they do a job, definitely — just not a 5-​star, «highly recommended» level kind of job.

I called on a Wednesday afternoon in March for a pedicure appointment, and was easily accommodated. Mai gave me my pedicure, and she was THE most careful nail person I’ve ever worked with. I appreciated that she took real time to push back my cuticles, and to paint my nails as close as possible to the skin. I have small-​ish nail beds on my big toes, so it matters to me that polish is thorough. She was very kind, and extra thoughtful. I was wearing a skirt, and not only did she make sure my legs were covered once I was seated, but also as I got up! She was also very good with the pumice stone and razor — I didn’t get ticklish once, which really says something for me.
The salon is large, with nice chairs that massage well. It is just a tad run down, but most nail salons are. I would definitely return.

I decided to check this place out because of the ratings on Unilocal.It is TRULY the gem of the island. Very professional, clean and friendly. My fiancé and I came here for a mani/​pedi and we were greeted, was seated within 5 mins (we made reservations), given tea of our choice and was cared for exceptionally well. Kevin and Dana (the owners), and Kevin did an excellent job. I also had my lashes retouched. I love this place. We walked away pampered and very happy! I’ll post a picture of Kevin and his hibiscus art work on my finger nails! Mahalo Cutie Nails!

This place is a little paragon in (of all places) Waimanalo! It looks very plain on the outside, but once you enter, everything is so quaint. The staff doesn’t swoop in on you like vultures.
My friend took me here to get our eyebrows done by a woman named Dana. As other people have said, she truly is amazing at what she does. I had been going to a different salon closer to home for my eyebrows and was pretty much content with what I was given in shape. It was a good thing that I decided to grow them out to Frida Khalo proportions before going there. Dana told me that I had a nice natural curve in brows, but whoever had been previously doing them didn’t pay too much attention to how unleveled they were. (I guess that’s what I get when my bangs try to pull a Carmen San Diego and cover one eye).
Back to Dana, the whole waxing & plucking experience was completely painless to me, and effortless for her. She knew my friend already as a regular client so she jokingly told me that she wanted to see my in the future again to make sure that I was keeping up with her shaping.
I felt so at ease here. If anyone has ever watched an Anjelah Johnson video on stereotypical nail salons pushing for more business, prying into your personal life, or speaking fiercely in another language amongst other coworkers to almost make you paranoid enough to think that they are talking crap about you, this place isn’t it! Everyone is totally welcoming and laid back with their up-​kept business.

I feel so horrible for ruining this salons 5 star streak, but it wasn’t all that amazing. My foot rub was super short and from all the reviews I envisioned someone that actually put forth some effort into the footrubs, it was a very lazy footrub (maybe I just got the wrong lady). I wish I had their massage chairs at home because those were soooo good.
Usually my pedicures last for about a month since I wear shoes most of the week for work, but this pedicure lasted not even a week which I was disappointed in.
But the salon is clean and the staff was friendly, unlike other places where the ladies talk about you in their whatever language they speak. The lady putting on my acrylics was very sweet because my nose started running from all that dust from the nails and she gave me a box of tissues.
I think I’ll still be looking around for the right nail salon for me.

This is hands –and feet — down the best nail salon I’ve tried so far on the island! The staff is super nice, the salon is clean and chic and their pedicures last a really long time. They can do plain, jeweled and 3-​d designs and have a large assortment of polishes to select from.
Oooo and they have THE BEST chairs! Between the 20 minute leg massage and their awesome chairs it feels like total Nirvana.
Yes it is a bit of a drive but the scenery is gorgeous and the results make the travel time worthwhile! Two thumbs and ten toes straight up high!!!

Wow! Talk about a gem hidden in Waimanalo!
I come here all the way from town to get my nails done because they are sooo nice here! The salon is clean and the staff are so friendly. I have only gotten pedicures done here but every time it lasts long and is very well done. It takes about an hour and they really take their time with you. $ 25 for an hour of leg massages and nice pretty painted toes? Talk about a deal!
The staff even come around and offer you water or tea. How nice!
There is a large open parking lot in front.
I would recommend this salon to everyone and will gladly make the long drive over and over to come here.
