Hawaiian Nail Bar

Horrible experience. Kept me waiting, overcharged me (told me it would be cheaper than it was), left with two acrylic nails crooked to which the technician responded «ill fix it next time». Stay away!!!

This place is my go to for eyelash extensions! I always come here for my extensions they are only $ 100 and look great! Lasts about 3 weeks then I come for a fill ! Also great with pedi’s ! I never feel rushed here! Customer service is great too!

I’ve been to this Hawaiin Nail Bar several times and never felt like I got the best service for my money (it is expensive there). They are constantly asking if you’d like this, or like that and then for each item they add another $ 5 to your mani or pedi. The last time I went, I got a new male employee who clearly did not have any experience. It took him an hour to prepare my nails for polish and this after just having a manicure a week prior. His hands shook when he applied the polish and the polish was so thick it took a long time to dry. I ended up with a gouge in my polish because of the thickness of the polish (which he kept trying to thin) and I paid $ 20 dollars for an hour and 20 minute manicure that looked poorly. Sorry, but Eek! Methinks not!

I had to write a review because I’ve been extremely happy with this place. I’m always venturing out and trying new salons and don’t know why since I keep returning here. They have never failed me. I always get the most compliments and the best job that I always keep coming back here. I decided that this will be «my nail salon». The hand massage and back massage were awesome.

Filthy! Gross! Dirty! Would not pass inspection! Ok. So it’s under renovation… But, no tables to work on your nails. Dirty water in a pedi chair… That obviously had been there a while. Ugh. She wanted me to sit in a grimy pedi chair to do my nails. Then she pulled her nail kit out. It was gross! Dirty on the outside and inside. I got up and walked out!

This used to be where I went when I got done with class (or even in between classes!) at SMU. They were open late, had drinks, and it was typically reasonable service. But this time was different. We walked in and the whole place was under renovation. Which honestly? Not a big deal. We walked in and picked our color (me and one of my girlfriends) and stood there. For a long time.
Then after almost leaving to go somewhere else, someone calls from the back «no no we have a seat for you!» Which was surprising since we hadnt been spoken to yet. AT ALL. We sat down and the pedicurist started to take off my existing gel pedicure. My friend sat in the chair next to me, and waited for her manicurist.
And we waited.
And waited.
I’ve had gel pedicures a LOT in the past, and NEVER has it taken so long to get it off. On top of that, my friend STILL hasnt been served. She gets up and proceeds to ask why TWO people had been served before her. THEN, they send someone over to help her. I’m still waiting to get my gel off.
When finally it’s done, my pedicurist proceeds to cut my cuticles off. Again, being someone who has pedicures pretty often, not a problem. But she sliced my foot open, and I started bleeding. Not. Cool. I’d rather have cuticles.
When FINALLLY she’s done torturing me with that, she proceeds to wash my feet then turn on her phone and start TEXTING. I am leaving for new mexico on a plane in 20 minutes, the pedicure has already taken an hour, and I’m going to be late for my flight if they take much longer, so I say «I have to leave soon.» To which the lady mumbles and motions to the other cosmetologists. They then ALL start talking in a language I don’t know (I’m not sure which language it is) and then another man comes over to finish my pedicure.
He did a good job with my pedicure, but it REALLY was NOT worth the 1.5 hour time commitment, especially with the bleeding and lack of lotion/​massages. Never coming back here.

This place is gross. Too much dust covered crap everywhere. The host never looked up from her phone to greet me. All the colors were old and gumy. The technician did a sloppy job polishing my nails. Will never go back.

This salon is wonderful. They are in a great location with nice decoration. Honestly this place makes me feel so comfortable and relaxing. I love this place mostly because of their decoration but their services are really good to. I love their chairs too. I almost felt asleep as the lady worked on my nails. Definitely will be back.

We showed up at 11 pm on a Saturday. I understand they close in an hour but we were a party of 4. They gave us seats. With seats you would assume they are available to take on the customers they sat.
The technicians were rude. I made a mistake and got gel nail polish on my other arm and I got a talking to and a loud sigh. To be fair I had to balance the light on my lap.
They weren’t speaking English to us they spoke to each other. They said they had free margarita but that wasn’t on the menu and when I asked for water I again got an audible sigh.
Not worth the money. The idea of it is a good one but they do need to improve their customer service skills.

Today, I went to Hawaiian Nail Bar as part of my «girls day» with my mom and grandma. I walked in, the atmosphere was cool and the place was big and decently busy. I told the man at the front desk that I just wanted a gel polish change (no manicure) and a regular pedicure. He suggested I go ahead and get the gel manicure because it’s only 5 bucks more than the polish change. I agreed to do the gel manicure instead.
My mom, grandma and I walk into the pedicure area, and we all take a seat in our pedicure chairs. Someone came to begin my mom and grandmas pedicure almost as soon as they sat down. I patiently waited a few minutes for someone to show up to start my pedicure, since the place seemed pretty busy. About 15 minutes go by and I start to become annoyed when 2 new customers walk in and immediately have someone starting on their pedicures. I finally say something to a worker and a couple of minutes later finally have someone starting on my feet.
A few minutes after that the lady to do my manicure arrives, and I tell her I decided against doing the full gel manicure due to me waiting for 15 minutes and would prefer to just have the gel polish change like originally planned. She files my nails, pushes my cuticles in a little bit, and polishes my nails for me. They ended up looking fantastic, as did my toes, so no complaints there. All is well until I walk up to the front desk to pay.
The man at the front desk tells me I owe $ 55, and I asked to see the services I was charged for. He was charging me for the full gel manicure and regular pedicure. I told him that I changed my mind after my wait and decided to get just the polish change, and asked him politely to take off the 5 dollars for the manicure I didn’t receive. (Obviously not a big deal, it’s only 5 bucks, but didn’t feel a need to pay the extra 5 for a service I didn’t receive). He begins to raise his voice at me, telling me that «we don’t do gel polish changes, we only do gel manicures». I reminded him that he told me originally the polish change would be 25 and the manicure would be 30. He began to raise his voice even louder (a lot of the customers were looking at us and even some staff began to gather around). Mind you, I’m a quiet and polite little teenage girl and was not acting in any way to deserve to be treated that way. He kept saying that he never said that and that they don’t do gel polish change there, when clearly he told me something entirely different in the beginning. I walked away and asked my mom and grandma if they had heard the same thing just to make sure I wasn’t crazy, and they agreed. Then the lady who did my nails came over and told the man she had done a full manicure on me. I told her no, unless you consider filing my nails down and pushing my cuticles in a full manicure. (Every time I get a gel polish change from any other salon, they always file my nails and push my cuticles in. That’s just normal procedure). She began to say something and the man shushed her. It was so ridiculously rude. He finally decided to give me my 5 dollars back after 10 minutes of yelling at me and making a scene. I tried to give the 5 bucks to the lady who did my nails as an extra tip (in addition to the 10 I gave) and she wouldn’t accept. Then the man at the front said «no we don’t need that thanks!» in a sarcastic and condescending way. I told him «that was for her, not you!»
Good lord. That was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a nail salon. Despite how great my nails turned out, I will never go back because of that one man. I never write Unilocal reviews but I felt compelled to write this to warn others of the horrible customer service you may receive. Granted, it was a busy day for them, but that didn’t give that man any reason to tell me one thing and then lie about it after, and to yell and treat me the way he did.
Edit: Please keep in mind I’m not giving 1 star because of the quality of the nails, if I were basing it off of how my hands and feet look I would’ve given 5 stars. My experience with the man that worked there made me feel so uncomfortable and appear as such an idiot to everyone in the salon that I feel as though I can’t rate any more than 1 star.

I got them done for the first time ever, and am very, very, very unhappy. My natural eyebrows are pretty thick with a high arch (think Beyonce), and I like them that way, so I don’t do much shaping, just clean them up and slightly thin them out. However, my cousin mentioned that Hawaiian Nails Bar actually did a very well done job on eyebrows. And I was so regretted that I did not ask for the technician named Crystal/​Krystal cause she had my cousin eyebrows waxed. Then, the rude lady asked what I needed that day and I just need an eyebrows wax. The reason I called her rude because she used to do the gel-​powder for my bestie and just kept talking in The another language and so loud. She also cut her finger by the drilling machine. Then she called a pregnant lady to come and get me to the waxing room. My natural eyebrows are pretty thick with a high arch, and I like them that way, so I don’t do much shaping, just clean them up and slightly thin them out. Have you ever heard the term ‘sperm eyebrows?’ With a tiny head and looong thin tail? My eyebrows look like a mix of the first & third eyebrow. They are HORRIBLE. She didn’t enhance my natural arch, she created a whole new arch, and made them extremely thin. They are also very uneven, and my left eyebrow tail is even thinner, it is LITERALLY two hairs thick! I couldn’t tell when we were looking in the full length mirror at the salon just how bad they are. I got home and looked in the mirror and my jaw just dropped. Then I went into shock and cried :(I got close up and there were also a ton of hairs not even close to the leftover shape that she didn’t bother getting. It upsets me a lot, I was planning to sue this place but my husband stopped me. Then, I just want to let you guys know about my tragedy and I will never ever come to this place again!

Terrible. Disorganized, rude, no warm water, just a very odd place compared to other Hawaiian Nail bars. I just sat here for 10 minutes with my feet in cold water before I finally just walked out. Never going back.

I’ve been needing to deferal for a while and match that with a trip out of town, you can see why I was freaking when it seemed that I could not get into anywhere to get a mani, pedi, and face wax. A friend of mine suggested that I try Hawaiian Nail Bar and I am so glad that I did.
First off, the hours are FANTASTIC. If you are like me and work long hours, you will find that most salons close way too early for me to get anything done. I was elated to find out that they did not close until 10 pm on a weekday. That was right up my alley. The other great thing that I liked was the ease of location. My friend gave me general vicinity directions and I was pleased with how easy it was find, park, and get sat with someone very quickly.
Now, I was told to just do the basics on everything and I should be cool, but I knew how long it had been for me to get a pedicure and I knew they had to go to work on Myra’s feet so I went for the Aloe Spa Treatment. Let me tell you that it was worth every penny of the $ 48 I paid for it. OMG, the fresh aloe being crushed and deep massaged into my feet and legs made all the difference in the world. I was also happy with the hot stones and I will admit that I was very shocked to see the difference fresh oranges made on my feet. It was like a light citric peel and helped remove a lot of the tension.
The manicure I received was definitely basic but I must say that she worked wonders with my awful cuticles. Is it the best manicure I’ve ever received? No. But it was good. The facial waxing was done by the same woman who did my manicure. She did a pretty good job but not the best. I would have liked my face to get threaded also and I’m not fully happy with my eyebrows.
So I bet you’re wondering how I did not rate this place 3 stars instead of 4. Well, the price point is friggin’ amazing, and so was the customer service. Also, I liked the idea of getting free booze. If you know anything about the Elites in Dallas, we do have a soft spot for free cocktails.

My usual salon was closed for a private event and I needed somewhere open late. This place is open until midnight on Saturdays and really close to my location so I gave it a shot. The décor is ok, the genres are a bit mixed up. They put me in a pedi chair right away to soak in plain water, which I’m not familiar with and I waited there longer than accustomed to but I didn’t have an appointment so I’ll give them a pass for that. I don’t like having multiple techs working on me so I asked the first tech, Thu to handle both mani and pedi, she seemed a bit surprised but graciously complied. Once she got started and I got my Margarita (which was great but served in beat up Styrofoam cups) all became right with the world. Thu was friendly, and sweet, not too talkative (a plus for me) and did a great job. Her oil massage for my dry skin is one for the history books. I will use this place as a back up to my regular salon and saw a sign that they have live bands Fridays 4−6pm so may check it out.

If you want a great, GREAT pedicure come here. They massage your feet like you’re cleopatra in the flesh. I think if u want a good wax go to a salon that specializes in such. If u want some good nails go here. Ask for Dang every time.

Well this used to be my go to place but not anymore. For what I pay the service sucks and the people are rude. I went to get my nails done at 10:30pm (they say they are open until midnight but that’s laughable considering they close whenever they want and never make it to midnight) and the lady had an attitude with me when she greeted me… I couldn’t understand her and she made it seem like it was impossible to know what I wanted. Not only did she half ass my nails she got defensive when I said something about it.
That isn’t the last of it… I was having a conversation with my uncle and this woman decides to have her own conversation with the owner and they were yelling over us while she was still doing my nails.
So I will never be coming back and I’m going to look for a place that doesn’t half ass their work specially when I’m paying $ 50+

The customer service her has to be the absolute worst I’ve experienced at a So CALLED HIGH-​END nail bar… I will never be back here. Made a appointment and when I arrived the nail tech said he didn’t have time to do my nails and asked if someone else could do my nails…

All I wanted was a quick eyebrow wax but instead I got an incompetent girl that had no clue what she was doing. She applied the wax AGAINST the hair growth (and if you know anything about waxing, this is a no no) and then she proceeded to try and wax my chin without my permission! Now, I’m all for a chin wax IF you need it… but I most certainly did NOT. During this time she managed to get wax in my hair. My HAIR.
I’m a pretty calm person but this put me over the edge. She tried to pick it out of my hair with a comb which hurt like hell. I told her to forget it and I left to run an errand at cvs. I couldn’t just leave this wax in my hair so I went back in and asked for my money back (yes they still made me pay) which they didn’t give me. Instead they slathered baby oil in my hair to comb the wax out. So not only did I have a very poor eyebrow waxing (I had to go home and use my tweezers to finish the job!) I had a huge oily spot in my hair. This place is GROTESQUE. DO NOT COME HERE. I DONT CARE HOW MUCH FREE WINE THEYLL OFFER YOU! It’s not worth it. Waste of my hard earned money and my time.
I wish there was an option for zero stars. This place has earned it.

Bare-​bone basic services at upscale, luxury prices!
The $ 25 basic pedicure is BASIC. I mean, we are talking they cut and trim your nails, slap some scrub on your legs, paint your toes, and that’s IT. Fine Nails down the street gives also you a decent little massage, wraps your legs in a hot towel, etc for the same price! The finished job was ok but I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth at all.
They don’t offer dip powder manicures (sigh…) so I settled on an acrylic manicure. Final price? $ 50, $ 45 for an acrylic set with a $ 5 up-​charge for «glitter», which is insane because there isn’t any extra work involved just because they used a white with a HINT of glitter in the powder! As dumpy as this place is and as run-​of-​the-​mill as it gets as far as quality goes, I was flabbergasted that they charged me $ 75 total for a mani-​pedi. If it were a more upscale or if I received a brief hand massage or paraffin treatment or something, I could justify it but COME ON. They just don’t offer the luxury services and atmosphere to warrant the prices. Furthermore, the nail tech started my acrylic tips as close to the edge of my nail as possible so I’ll need to come in sooner for a refill. Ughn! I can assure you that I won’t be getting my refills here.
My nails look fine but I just can’t justify what they charge compared to other salons within a mile of this place. The free margaritas just aren’t enough to keep my coming back. Overall, Hawaiian Nail Bar just isn’t competitive enough and just isn’t that special of a place. Save your hard-​earned dollars and avoid this one!

This is my go-​to nail spot. They do nails and they do it well. But when it comes to customer service, they are a to-​the-​point, what-​do-​ya-​need? kind of joint. Don’t expect small talk or any frills. They just don’t do that here.
Yet something keeps me coming back. It might be the fact that they are open later than any other nail bar. Let’s say you need a quick fix and everything else is closed. Well, Hawaiian Nail Bar is one of the only spots I know that keeps their doors open until midnight! Huge plus. Or perhaps it’s their complimentary margarita bar that keeps me coming back. Yeah, that’s probably it. Can’t hurt their cause at least!
Most importantly, their prices are fair and if you come with a picture of exactly what you want, they have the skills to copy any design dead on. They really do know their stuff.
