The Beauty Shop & Manicure Bar

Thanks so much for the great gel manicure you did for me today. Beautiful job! I will see you the next time I visit Kauai. Cathy from Colorado

I got a mani/​pedi on a Thursday from Jody, for my Friday afternoon beach wedding. We moved the wedding to Monday due to a huge rainstorm. I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the beach, playing in the sand with my 3-​year-​old son. On Monday at 4:30 pm, my nails still looked great. Can’t beat that for quality! Thanks Jody!!!

Had a Mani/​Pedi yesterday by Jody.
They both turned out beautiful. I had Gel for both.
I have an ugly big toe nail and Jody made it look normal.
Will be back Feb. 2016 for another Mani/​Pedi.

Wendy was amazing. She even dazzled me
With her jewels and I’m not a girlie, girl. I will see Wendy every time I come back to the island.

I was in the Kapaa area and looking for a manicure and the Beauty Shop got back to me so quickly I was able to do a walk-​in with Wendy! She did an amazing job with my nails. It was everything I wanted and more. She was very attentive and I was happy with the quality of her work.

I needed to get my eyebrows waxed for my upcoming wedding on the island, and The Beauty Shop was super convenient for booking my appointment online less than 24 hours ahead of time. Laura did a great job and the shop itself is very cute. On a side note, Laura also gave great suggestions to help me solve an issue I was having with figuring out where to get my hair and makeup done for the morning of my wedding. The advice she gave really helped me out!!! I was very satisfied with it all!

I love being pampered by Wendy! Aldo she is very creative with her nail art. I would highly recommend Wendy to do your nails

Wendy gave me a fantastic mani-​pedi :) My mom took me there, knowing I was going to be proposed to that night (I didn’t have a CLUE!) and Wendy was so sweet, did a great job on our gels, and did some fantastic jewels on my toes :) If you’re in a big hurry, I might let her know ahead of time because since it was just her there when my mom and I arrived, it did take a little while, but if you let her know that you had something to get to I’m sure she could get you out of there in time! :) Everyone else was really nice, the regular clients were even sweet, and I was so happy to have gorgeous nails when my engagement ring was slipped on my finger :) :)

These ladies were fantastic. They got my husband and I in for a massage same day, along with a double manicure and a pedicure for me. I would recommend this place for sure and will come back if I’m ever back here in Kauai.

This place is the best! The owner is an incredible story teller, very friendly and a fantastic nail artist. I had a pedicure on ³⁄₁₃ and my pedicure still looks amazing! Remember to book an appt! It’s worth the few extra bucks.

It was a totally pleasant experience! Laura was ready for me at the appointed time. She was very thorough and a delightful conversationalist. I will be returning next winter when I return to Kauai.

It is difficult to find quality anywhere at a fair price. Laura does a fabulous pedicure at a reasonable price. I went to her after reading the reviews and she lives up to the praise. It has been three weeks since my pedicure and my toes STILL look great. Laura is fun and funny. She doesn’t skip or hurry. If you are looking for a good pedicure, go see Laura.

I agree on everyone in the review.
I had the best pedicure service there. Now I have super soft feet after an hour pedi service. The massage was great, and everything she used on my feet felt really good.
Thanks~~~!!!

I made an impulse appointment after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. Laura did an amazing job. A French manicure using OPI gel polish cured using an LED light and a standard pedicure. Great prices but even better service. I would highly recommend this salon. Thanks Laura!

Laura is awesome! I love getting my toes done here. I highly recommend The Beauty Shop!!!

Hidden Gem, first class island service, mainland rates, best of the best because they have been doing this forever. I love this one stop beauty shop/​day spa because it’s close to the beach and they take walk-​ins for nail services. Skin and massage services may require advanced booking — I’d call first.
The short:
I wouldn’t waste my beach time searching for nail, skin, and massage services, when I could get them all done at one spot. Heavy sand and water play require Shellac — they have it! Top notch toes need top notch services — they have it. Bonnie’s skin and massage services — you aren’t likely to find a better deal. Hidden massage, sauna and shower in the back.
The long:
My cousins live in Kaua’i and know all of the good deals. I visited the Beauty Shop with some skepticism because it doesn’t look like much from the outside. I have a nail and skin team in Marin and San Francisco, and usually won’t deviate because I know enough about micro-​biology not to trust just any establishment. This place is licensed and family approved.
When we arrived at the shop, I still felt I was in Kaua’i — chill environment. It wasn’t a big buzzing establishment, but small and quiet. At first, the shop looks like it only provides nail services — but do not be fooled by the simple looks. Every jar, can, container and service is top of the line.
Massage, Skin, and Facials:
You couldn’t tell at first, but there is a full service massage and skin service area secretly tucked in the back. If I lived here, I would probably make a habit of the full service treatment — you can’t help but sleep tight after this. Very private, relaxing, and luxurious experience. The most amazing part: A SAUNA for body work and skin services — brilliant! The works/​full pamper treatment: OMG get this and you will not regret it.
Here is how it works: (1) Bonnie stimulates the lymphatic system w/​brush (2) enzyme scrubs you clean (3) hot towel wipe you clean (4) facial cleanse (5) lava clay mask — best smelling mask ever and if you find a cologne like this please let me know (6) dry or wet sauna (7) hot shower (8) massage in or out of sauna. Depending on what you want, the whole process lasts for 2 – 4 hours.
The nails:
Pedi: Includes full soak, clip, shape, scrub, massage, and polish. If you are like me and don’t do spa chairs where you don’t know the staff, prefer stainless steel bowls with heated rocks, and definitely do not pay salon services with just any polish — you can relax. I inquired…
No stainless steel bowls here, but they have super sanitized spa chairs. Bonnie explained their cleaning process to my satisfaction: they are slow enough to clean the jets in between pedi’s — super score. I also asked about no chip Shellac — they have it! Unlike some shops, they will do it on your toes, if that’s what you want. I mostly saw OPI — when I can’t spring for Shellac, I only use OPI or Chanel — so good sign.
Mani and sets:
Full service — clip, shape, soak, buff, polish. If you want something sassy, ask about the jewels — just a few more bucks.
Bottom line: this IS the nail and facial spot

The pedicure I got at The Beauty Shop from Laura is the best I’ve ever had, not just on Kauai or in Hawaii but anywhere else. I go to Kauai every year and would not even consider going anywhere else. I may even wait till I’m there this year to get my holiday one!

My husband & I stayed at The Hotel Coral Reef in Nov. 2011 when we were there to get married. The Beauty Shop is attached to the hotel.
Laura gave my husband a pedicure and I had a gel manicure. She ROCKS! I LOVED my gel manicure which lasted me 2 weeks without chipping! Awesome! She went above and beyond to offer any advice that I may need, since I explained that we were getting married on the island. Super sweet!
Also, we had lovely traditional Lomi Lomi hawaiian massages by Bonnie whom was very dear and wonderful.
This charming calming cozy environment is perfect for unwinding and being pampered. Everyone was very accommodating and made you feel special, which is how it should be when you go to a beauty shop!

Laura, one of the owners, did my pedicure. It was great. I plan on getting a massage later in the week. The place is very clean and Laura is wonderful. I recommend this place very highly.

Had a fabulous pedicure that has lasted forever! Highly recommend services at The Beauty Shop!
