Emma’s Nail

friendly staff, did a great job with my nails and even gave me advice.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR… The prices are ok, SOME of the staff are friendly, although the general attitude SEEMS to be that they wish you weren’t there. They have ONE really good nail tech (DON’T KNOW HER NAME) The man in one of the previous post is no longer there. He was also a really good nail tech, the others there are not even basic. I suggest you go elsewhere for Clean, Quality, Friendly service where the tools/​equipment has been through an autoclave sterilization. There are a lot of salons that DO NOT sterilize their tools, so you’re taking a chance. There is more to being clean than moping a floor.

The Deluxe Pedicure was awesome! The lady gave a good massage and i felt spots on my foot ive never realized before lol.
The waxing feels so good!

The guys at a nearby establishment suggested this place. When I guy recommends a nail place, there must be a good reason. My feet were sore from walking, and they took great care of my tootsies. Thanks ladies!

I was planning on coming in to get my nails done while my dog got groomed next door. One of the lady’s came in while I was dropping off my dog and was super nasty to me about parking. I decided against giving them my business after that.

Nice staff. Reasonably priced basic pedi. I feel bad that I didn’t get the name of the person who took care of me. She was awesome! I would definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.

Convenient location, great service and a value price for a pedi. I’ve been to more luxurious salons that do not do as good of a job as Emma’s has. Also, the employees remember you. I went once last year when I was visiting and they remembered me when I returned this year.

After being stood up for pedicure appointments across the street (no employees showed up to open the store!!!), we called Emma’s nails and they fit us in immediately on a Saturday morning. Prompt service, friendly employees, and quality pedicures. Thank you Emma’s Nails!

They have new chairs which are very nice… If they let you sit in them. Mostly there is one lady there who seems to be in charge and is a total rude grouch. I’d like to get my mani done while I am sitting in the massage chair but she informs me it’s not permitted. The place is empty and she makes me move. And after she messes up my nail repeatedly she obviously is berating me to her co workers in her native language. The place would be nicer without her.

We love this place. Great location, and kind staff. They took my 6 year old daughter & I for dual pedicures right away. The service was exceptional. The address correction is 350 Ward St. Tweety had a great personality & carried conversation with my daughter also asking if she was a OK and if the pressure was alright during her massage. We’ll be back again and again!

Nice little place to get your nails done. The ladies who worked here were all so kind. My gel nails look awesome and my simple pedicure is just right! I would def come back here again just for the massage part of it all!

Honestly the worst nail job ever, even though i guess they were closing (which I didn’t know) they didn’t have to rush and do such a horrible job! I saw some of the pictures on the Unilocal and thought they would do a pretty good job BUT NO!!! The gel polish is not even close to my cuticle, it’s all uneven it’s all over my skin and it’s just horrible, she kept filing on the tip of my nail it’s super soft and about to just rip off ! I HONESTLY WILL NEVER COME BACK. Ugh I want like a redo on this nail job or my money back, I guess this is what you get for a 15 dollar polish change

Hi! they’ve made a lot of changes and the owner is really making efforts to change things. they are always nice and the pedicure massages are great! I always say I’m going to just get the regular pedi but I end up getting the deluxe because the massage is so good (and I emphasize to them I really want the massage more than anything). I don’t get any fancy designs. then my gel mani is always great and as they got to know me they know how I like it done and I appreciate them knowing me and my likes & dislikes about my gel nails. I always do the «fade» and it always comes out so nice!

I just moved back home from Cali & needed a new nail place, I gave my mom’s favorite place a shot, but that was a fail. Before I moved I went to modern nail (now Emma’s nails) so I decided to go where I knew the location. I’m accustomed to lots of acrylic designs (acrylic bows, lots of Swarovski crystals-​complete bling nails) for a very fair price, which I can’t seem to match here on Oahu. Everyone charges an arm and a leg for no design. Emma’s nails does the acrylic designs and don’t rip people off. Yay!
Anywho, I came into Emma’s nails today as a walk in, tweety took me right away. We talked about the set I already had on (3 broke off) and she removed the rest. Hands down the most pain free nail removal I’ve ever had. She started my nails and we chit chatted. She was friendly, not overly chatty and didn’t chat with the other lady, which I appreciated.
I was texting my boyfriend throughout the service & he made a comment about it taking a long time (it’d been 40 minutes and she was about to start the polish) I told him she took her time & made sure I got the shape I wanted.
I decided not to go with a design, but got an accent nail. She was very patient with me, even with my stiff fingers & accidentally hitting my just polished nail on the uv light box thing. :P
It was a bit on the pricier side, $ 47 for removal of my last set and a full set of gelish. But I have to say, I’m extremely impressed. My nails are perfect. I will definitely be going back.

** TERRIBLE ** TERRIBLE **
You pay for what you get but who really goes in for a gel cut down and file and they leave the gel on your nails still!
My pedi was ok until it got to the painting part then the color bleed on me, her, and is still on some of my skin despite her efforts to clean it.

$ 20 pedicure… No frills about the shop but your feet look beautiful. Everything is reasonably priced!

Due to its location and convenience for me, I come back from time to time. They do a decent pedi and mani. I usually get gel on my fingernails and have never been disappointed. As others have mentioned, it’s not the cleanest salon out there. They do decent work for the low price they charge. They always manage to get my pedi or mani done within an hour. I don’t normally make appointments and they’re usually available for me. If not, I just go back another day. Staff is ok. I’ve been here when it used to be Modern Nails and they’re both the same quality and friendliness. I will continue to go back when I need to. I’ve also had my eyebrows and lip waxed here and had no problems.

I’d just finished my violin class and saw this nail salon on the way there so I decided to stop by. The décor and general surroundings were nothing special and I waited for about 20 min because there were around two people in front of me. I thought the price was decent: $ 22 for a pedicure which is the cheapest I’ve seen for a while. I showed the lady doing my nails a blurry photo of a design I liked and she managed to improvise and make a pretty flower design. I loved the end result and will definitely be coming again. There really isn’t parking space on front (it’s on the side of the road), but there are some lots nearby and I just parked in front of where I take my violin classes and walked over. There’s a special for $ 25 with a salt scrub and hot stone massage that I might try out next time.

Sundays is usually a lazy day for me. No plans to do anything. My friend, Junior came over to drag me out to find things to do, we decided to go get pedicures. We initially went to a former place he used to go to, but when we got there, it didn’t seem like a place for pedicures… I asked him if it was a happy ending place… We didn’t explore that. Being near Ward Ave, I remember seeing this place so we stopped by. We walked in and were greeted. I asked for two pedicures and the guy said to just sign in. If anyone gets pedicures on the regular, one of the staff will suggest for you to «go pick cah-​lah (Polish color)».
As I was trying to pick a polish color, they were drawing the foot baths for the both of us. We sat and they asked if the water temperature was good. It was.
Sitting there as they worked, I checked into Unilocal and there were only one review for this place. It was a sad review. I read it out loud to my friend. I think, her review would’ve sadly deterred me from going here. But everyone’s entitled to their opinion and so I’m glad I didn’t see her review first.
The place is in a older building. So there’s nothing fancy, no eye appealing décor. If anyone has tried to decorate their home, they would know one room can cost an arm and a leg. If this place was fancy, it would defeat the service being affordable. So maybe 2 stars for décor/​ambiance.
Service would get 4.25 stars. They were nice and friendly. I didn’t know they close at 5. We arrived there at 10 till 5 and they still took us without a fuss. That’s awesome in my book!
Price was reasonable. And as for my toes. I think he did a lovely job making my toes look pretty! Try this place out for yourself!

I have been here twice now and both times left disappointed. The service, the quality of the job as well as the price all needs a lot of improvement.
It isn’t clean and they reuse the equipment such as a nail file or foot scrubber on all their customers which I find disturbing. They slap on the polish with little care how it looks.
If you are looking for a cheap job go elsewhere their prices are too high for their sub standard work.
