The Nailery Hawaii

I’ve been coming here for the last year to get my pedis. They have always done a good job and are pretty friendly. Make sure you get their punch card so that you can earn free manis or pedis

I came in for a manicure and pedicure before my wedding. I was so impressed by the beautiful nail work Dexter did. My nails were absolutely beautiful and more than I could have ever asked for!

This is my 3^rd time here and I love it. I used to go to one salon when I lived in Mililani and was sad I had to change when I moved to town because it’s hard finding a perfect spot. These ladies are fantastic, dare I even say outdo my last salon. Extremely happy I found my new perfect spot.

Fantastic place with great customer service! They took my mom and I in 10 minutes before we walked in and we were pleasantly surprised at how wonderfully friendly and welcoming the staff were. They are down to do anything in nail art and to accommodate your wishes. Would highly recommend this place to friends and strangers alike!

My sister, the bride-​to-​be, won a bridal nail package from a local bridal expo. She made an appointment and invited me and the other bridesmaids along to get our nails done.
The Nailery, located in the old Block Buster’s space in the Pan Am building, is spacious, clean and well-​lit. Free parking is in a small lot behind the building (opposite side of Kapiolani Blvd).
We were greeted by the owner Dexter Do and his wife. Dexter is extremely charismatic and has ample knowledge to share with his clients. He is very entertaining and it is enjoyable to be in his company. This was seriously the most fun I’ve ever had getting my nails done!
Dexter did my sister’s nails and his wife did mine. They do not have a design book here because as Dexter stated «the design is from your phone». You bring in a photo (pinterest is a great resource) and they will recreate it. I was so impressed in the time taken to do my nails and how she asked me exactly how I wanted it as we went along. In the end, my nails looked exactly like the photo on my phone if not BETTER! I have so much regret not coming here for my own wedding. My nails will look nicer at my sister’s wedding than my own!!! For my sister, Dexter free styled a customized design on both of her ring fingers, complimentary, and it was amazing! Dexter is a business man, family man, artist and… photographer? Yes, he even provided flower accessories to capture our freshly done nails AND took the pictures for us!
After about 1.5 hours at The Nailery, the four of us left with beautiful, flawless nails. Thank you Dexter Do!
«Let Dexter NAIL you before your wedding day», he knows how to make women Happy!

It was my and my friends first time here and we were definitely not disappointed! We happened to come in because we were in the area for Kawaii Kon. Dexter and his staff were friendly and fun which made the experience that much more enjoyable. They nailed it! ;)

They did abetted job regardless of my negative attitude from when I did my nails at Miley’s Nail Salon. The Nailery is legit, if you go inside, you’ll see a shat ton of photos of the owner with his clients in pageants and what not.

Thankyou Dexter for my beautiful nails. I highly recommend this salon to anyone due to the wonderful atmosphere, friendly service, and of course. ., the talented Dexter himself!
I was spoiled today at a great price for quality.

This place is amazing! Dexter asked me if I had something in mind for my design and I told him not really. He asked what my color scheme was for my wedding and what type of dress I had. I showed him my dress and told him my colors and he came up with the most amazing design and I’m so in love it! Not only is he extremely talented but he is so friendly and made me and my whole wedding party laugh. Even his team is so friendly and happy. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends. Thank you for making my nails so beautiful for my wedding day Dexter!

I couldn’t find this place. I had to call to find out the parking is on makaloa street. My GPS kept directing me to Kapiolani.
I liked this place, I got a deluxe pedi and a fill of my gel nails with a gradient look. Cost me over $ 70. Coco did my nails. She is back and forth between Tokyo and Hawaii, so I’m glad I had the opportunity to have her do my nails.

I’ve been here twice now for a Brazilian wax deal I bought on Groupon and I want everyone to know that Lise’ is FABULOUS.
Very professional, efficient, and a complete sweetheart. A Brazilian wax also includes a free lip wax if you so choose (I did not need the service but I’m confident that it’s worth taking advantage of!). Highly recommend buying the Groupon deal, also (1 wax for $ 39 or 2 for $ 75) because one wax regularly is about $ 80 (if I remember correctly). That way, you’re spending less on the actual service and can leave her a better tip because she deserves it! Looking forward to eventually getting my nails done here, too! Thanks again, Lise’!

I won a bridal manicure from this place through the Wedding Expo. I was just expecting to just get the bare basics of a manicure but I got more! Dexter asked what I envisioned on my wedding day for my nails. I didn’t have an idea but told him what my dressed looked like. The end result was beyond my expectations! I loved it! What I loved even more was that he didn’t complain about my short nails, since they are brittle and usually I have to get extensions for my nails. He gave me tips on how to help me take better care of them.
Listening to Dexter talk about his career was good. I can totally relate to him about how hard he has worked to put a good reputation to his name and business. You can tell that he puts a lot of heart into this, no matter what!
I can’t wait to figure out how to incorporate Dexter into my wedding preparations! He gave me so many ideas of even doing my bridal shower here! Already he works with my make up lady that I hired so I know I’m in good hands leading up to my big day.
Thank you Dexter for the beautiful nails! I’m looking forward to getting them done again for my wedding day!

First time here & definitely not my last!!! Absolutely LOVE how my nails came out. Brought a photo in that I wanted my nails to look like and after she finished it was EXACTLY how I invisioned it to be.
My only regret is not getting her name so I could ask for her upon my next visit. I definitely recommend this place!

I had a vision. DEXTER delivered and did more than what I have expected. Ladies, if you want to feel beautiful do yourselves a favor – dont think too hard JUST GO HERE and GET NAILED the right way, The proffesional way!

I cannot explain how much I enjoyed coming here. I had decided to bring my bridal party here for some mani pedis and to get my nails done. Not only were we able to book the day before… Dexter and his crew were simply amazing. I love my nails… I love how special he made me feel… I love the customized service and the personable service I got for my big day. My nails are beautiful. Thank you so much for taking care of me Dexter.
Ladies… Don’t hesitate. Dexter and his crew are awesome.

Fine pedicure, decent price, but don’t understand the concept of appointment
A cool thing about this nail place is the customer loyalty card. I was trying soo hard to fill up my card and get a free pedicure, but I just couldn’t keep going to this place because they would always mess up my appointments.
After stopping by a couple times, and seeing that they were full I decided to make appointments. That worked, until it didn’t. Twice I would show up for my appointment and then have to wait for 20 minutes while walk-​ins were taken before me. What’s the point in making an appointment?
So, I started calling about 5 minutes before I planned to come in (because I lived within walking distance, I could). This method worked until once I showed up about 10 minutes after calling and was told I would have to wait 45 minutes, because everyone was now booked.
No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get out of waiting 20+ minutes for a pedicure, so sadly no free pedicures for me. I threw away the card.
I will say that they do a nice job though. Too bad they can’t figure out a good appointment system.

Heard about Nailery through a friend and decided to check it out instead of my normal mani pedi spot. My girlfriends and I planned a brunch and mani & pedi spa day. We got a friendly greeting by the owner himself Dexter. I had requested him after reading the reviews about him. I got a gel mani and a spa pedi deluxe (which was done by someone else).
Dexter is very fun and easy to talk to. Definitely felt very welcomed here and you can tell he cares about his customers! I did a simple one color gel which came out really nice. The color was exactly what I wanted.
He also gives an awesome hand massage!
The girl that did my pedi seemed like she was new as she had to be reminded to do a few things by the other lady. However, she got the job done and gave a pretty good massage. I almost fell asleep! My girlfriends were satisfied with their nails as well too.
The pricing was a little more than I paid at the other salon I used to go to. But you also get what you pay for and so it was worth it. I am happy and pleased with my nails :)

I love going to the Nailery. My coworkers recommended it to me and I’m glad they did. Ly, Brooke, Moon, and Dexter do a great job. I am pretty picky with the colors I want and they help me pick things that will look great together. They work hard to match the pictures I’ll bring in or design something that looks just as good or better! And if I don’t know what I want they’ll make a recommendation for me.
Great deal for great work! I love going to the Nailery!

I visited Nailery for a gel mani & deluxe pedi on 6÷6÷15 after receiving recommendations from my friends & receiving a gift card for my birthday. Appointments are strongly recommended although they do accept walk ins (only if they’re not already totally booked with appointments), They are very busy on weekends due to bridal/​wedding events, beauty pageant contestants. I’ll probably try to go on a weeknight after work for my next appointment.
Moon did my mani/​deluxe pedi & did a fantastic job. My feet really needed the extra care & the paraffin wax helped. She is quick, she is meticulous with nail care and gave the most awesome foot massage.
Free parking too! I think I found my new favorite nail salon.

This is a nice nail salon. I came here with a group of friends who were celebrating and prepping for wedding. This was the brides night out. We dolled up and got ready for a night out on the town, starting with the Nailery for out Night Out.
Dexter, Moon, Lee and the rest of the staff easily accommodated out group. Each of us had mani’s and pedi’s. The staff even stayed late to help us all finish up our diva like activities. The Nailery was closed for our event. We were able to have wine, bubbly drinks and pupu’s brought in to the salon.
The staff does an expert job at being creative with the nails. Lee, worked on pedicure and did an amazing job! Almost 4 weeks later my toes look like the day she did them. I asked for special art to be put on, she helped me look at pictures on my phone and then created the design on my toes freehand. I was impressed!
I also had a gel manicure. This was my first and sorry, Dexter I had to knock down a star for this. Dexter is a really personable man and did a great job at talking me into my first set of gel nails. They looked great and lasted a few weeks. They more than likely would have lasted longer, however this girl likes to change her nail polish as much as she changes clothes. I like my nail polish to match my mood or my outfits.
That being said, after about two weeks, I was exhausted at having the same nail color. So I had to go about removing the gel polish. UGH! No one warned me about this part. My nails are still recovering from removing the gel polish. It took over half hour to remove the polish. Then it took layers off my natural nail,. This made me sad at the effect. I wish that Dexter or someone would have warned me.
I would return here, just NO Gel Nails for this Wahine! Again, the service was amazing.
