Awesome service as always by Ivy!! I always ready for my pedicure e wry month. It helps if you google the nail color photo of a what you want so that it is easier to find your color. New massage chairs and always something interesting to watch. Today was switched on Discovery Channel 🙂 Read Less

If you're like me and need to get your nails done but with no appointment, then go to Nail Design in Mililani Mauka.  Per fellow Yelper Melody L. in her review, they accept walk-ins and take walk-ins.My co-worker and I had got off work and were looking for a place to get our nails done.  She suggested a place in Pearl City but I didn't feel like going that far...if you're from the Wahiawa/Mililani area, you know what I mean! lol.  I relayed to Yelp and found Nail Design.  I was skeptical at first because of the amount of Yelp stars, but decided to chance it anyway since we were in the area.  We were greeted when we came in, and they took us right away.The place is small, but laid back and clean.  The decor is cute and vibrant. I like that they do have the TV right in front of you so you can enjoy watching a movie while getting your nails done.  The had Netflix on with a Jackie Chan movie playing.  One of the technicians said they usually play Jackie Chan movies.The color I chose was a sheer pink and golden glitter. The technicians suggested the faded and gel mani and pedi since they last longer, about 2-3 weeks, as the classic lasts only a few days.  I ended up with classic mani and pedi with both faded gel and my co-worker had a classic mani and pedi with the mani faded gel.  I don't often get my nails done.  Usually I'll go about once every other month.  My co-worker usually gets her done usually every 2-3 weeks.I had my nails done by Rosa, while my co-worker had hers done by Ivy. They are so sweet and personable, as well as the other technicians Lei and Vicky that we were having conversation with all of them. Lei and Vicky were next to us, as they were helping their customer but would stop by and look at our nails and see if Rosa and Ivy needed any help.  I wouldn't mind if any one of them do my nails the next time I visit.  I'm so happy with my nails!My co-worker was hesitant at first because of the prices.  She usually gets her done at a different salon, which is cheaper than here.  After we got our nails done, she was satisfied with her nails.  She said she realized that their prices are higher because of the service and timeliness.  The technicians didn't make us feel rushed and gave good customer service, unlike the salon usually goes to.  We have found our new spot at Mililani Mauka!Notes and tips:- They are busy on the weekend. - Walk-ins are accepted.- Regarding tip, cash only so make sure to have some cash. Although they take tips via credit card, they prefer cash.  Who doesn't? I worked as a waitress before so I can relate. Read Less

Literally the ONLY place that says they accepts walks ins and actually accepts walk ins. I've been here twice. It's very cheap and nails look great afterwards. I tried calling a few places to see if they had any openings that day, but everyone was booked. I wanted to get a gel mani and regular pedi done before I left of my trip. I've gotten a gel mani before (not from here) and it did so much damage to my nails. I was hesitant, but I needed my nails to last, so I gave it a shot. I received so many compliments on my nails and nobody knew I paid $100 for a gel mani, pedi AND another pedi for the Yelp BFF. And the fact that they just brought in new massage chairs makes it that much better (yes, massage chairs are super important).I don't do my nails often. I will pamper myself maybe two or three times a year and this is probably one of the places I will be back to visit.Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!! Read Less

Place is clean prices are good. 1st visit great service best pedicure ever! 2nd visit good pedicure worst paint job paint all over toes $10 design looks like my child painted. 3rd attempt to get full set walk in to see 4 lady's sitting and talking. Was told to come back in 1 hour No one there can do full set?? Wow seriously won't be back Read Less

Got a full set done here and they suck. The fake nails don't cover my real nails all the way, not filed down evenly, nail polish on the side of the fingers, acrylic too thick. Paid $50 for crappy nails! Not happy at all. Read Less

After reading some of the positive reviews I made an appointment. I was overdue for pampering and don't mind paying the price for it. I thought before I paid that $20 just for a gel coat on my fingers was hefty, feet would've been another $20....but I don't treat myself that often so I thought let's do it. But I'm really disappointed that the expensive gel coat looks already nasty on the edges on day 6.....so, no, Vicky, will not "see you next time", because with the high price comes with high expectations.

I read the bad reviews about this salon and am so surprised. I almost didn't go because of them. I am glad that I did. I walked in 30 minutes before closing and they took me. The woman there were so friendly and kind. The place was clean when I was there, it is small but clean. The pedi I got lasted over 4 weeks no chipping. The pedi I got here at home only lasted two weeks so that is why I needed a new one. If you are contemplating going here due to the reviews,   Try it. I wasn't sorry at all. Tell them I said aloha and I will see them again real soon. Mahalo for a good pedi, it's still going strong. Read Less

BEWARE... IF YOU CARE ABOUT CLEANLINESS PLS READ!!!My mom and i decided to get pedis before a trip coming up, our normal salon had a super long wait so we decided to try this salon for the first time.The only good thing that came out of this service was not having to wait to be seated. After we signed in and sat down the appointment just went down hill.We both got the best pedi package for $55 each. Both of our technicians put our feet in the water without soap. the nail tech sitting next to them had to tell them to put soap in our water and throughout the entire apt she continued to scold them for not doing the correct thing.It seemed like this was literally their first day on the job and had no idea what they were doing. My mom told me that her nail tech put the wrong product on her leg and when the tech next to her pointed it out she wiped the product off my mom then put it back in the bottle... how disgusting!Both nail techs barely bothered to remove the dead skin around our toes and feet. After using the "cheese grater" tool to remove dead skin, my nail tech rinsed the tool off in the water while my feet were still in there. I was completely grossed out.As my mom and i were trying to get through the apt we both saw another nail tech sitting directly across from us with her finger up her nose. She just sat there digging her nose with no shame, then to top it off she started flicking the boogers off her fingers and wiped her hand on her sweater. The same nail tech had to get something from behind my chair shortly after and i also got to smell her BO. It was nauseating.When it was time to put polish on my toes my nail tech decided to retire and someone else came over to do it. She put 1 coat of the color on then told me to move to a different seat to let it dry. After waiting for about 5 minutes i turned around to see what was going on and the tech was already working on the next customer. My mom pointed out that i was still waiting so a 3rd nail tech came over to finish. She had me awkwardly put my foot on her leg to put the polish on and instead of putting on a second coat of the color, she put the clear top coat only. I normally would say something and ask for a second coat but it was clear they just wanted us to leave and i didn't want to be there anymore. When they forgot about me again i got up, grabbed my shoes and waited for my mom by the door.After i got home and really looked at my toes i saw bubbles all over the polish. And when i looked at my moms toes i noticed spots of polish on her skin. What a rip off! I feel so bad that my mom wasted over $100. It definitely was not worth it and i wouldn't doubt if they skipped a few steps because they started getting busy. i wish i could give zero stars.I will never come here again... unless you don't care about sanitation and quality customer service i recommend staying far away from here.

Took my daughter here for a walk-in appointment for her junior prom. Even though it was the afternoon before the event and they were booked with appointments, we were welcomed and serviced right away. My daughter only wanted her brows done, but we decided to add acrylic gels to that and I was very pleased with the fast and friendly service we received.I felt that the prices for facial waxing were fair, as well as the nails. And we were both pleased with how her brows and nails came out. The salon is a little lacking in appearance, but the stations were clean. My daughter had been there earlier in the day for a pedicure with her grandmother and both left satisfied with their toes. We felt the work quality was good and the services were timely. We'll be back again! Read Less

So I called this morning at 830 am and scheduled an appointment for 9, for a fill and a pedicure AT THE SAME TIME since I hired a sitter to watch my children. The lady who answered said, sure no problem.  I had an existing appt down the road, and canceled that because this salon was able to take me right at 9 as opposed to 930. As I sit there, halfway thru my pedicure....I inquire on my tech for my fill. Lady points to a tech and says "she's almost done." Fast forward to 5 min after my pedi is done...that tech starts working on someone else! Are u kidding me?! Then they say, another tech is at the stop light right here. Ok...I'm not having it, but I decide to wait since it would save time. I mean, here's right there at the light, right? Twenty minutes pass, I kid you not, and the lady next to me says, wow, he must've been at a light in pearl city. Then they ask me to wait since the other tech almost done. Umm no. They will not get another dollar from me. Even the lady next to me says she's never been there before but won't be back. Same here, about 2 years ago they were good. Not anymore. I'm currently at the town center nail salon and they are pretty organized so far. They don't have matching color for my toes, but at least my dollar is well spent. Read Less

I've been coming to this place since they opened here since it is close to my house. It is truly disappointing to say that the quality of work has gone down tremendously! Nail tech I had today is so slow. I like my nails simple and clean and despite the fact that I had to point out the areas she either missed, over colored onto my skin, and didn't cut my cuticles cleanly enough, she did nothing. Plus, I cut my toenails few days ago and it was pretty obvious that it was short.  All she had to do was just file it nicely. Well, she cut my small toenail and too close to the nail bed! I jerked my foot and instead of apologizing she kept observing my nail.  Time to find a new place.  Sorry Nail Designs. Read Less

Paid $36 to have my nails cleaned and filed. Got one layer of clear gel. Definitely overpriced. He lady was very slow. It took her one hour to do just this. But I was in the area and desperate to get something done so it was my fault. If I had looked at the reviews I would not have come here. All the reviews are right. It does not look like a very clean place either. I wouldn't go again. Read Less

My nail gal was pretty good.  But as I sit here and listen to one of the girls that work here talk and sing for the entire hour it made me nuts.  Between her and the infomercials it was not a very good experience. Read Less

I got my nails done at a different shop. I got diamond nails with fake tips. The lady told me that if I wanted them off, a simple soak in remover would be fine. Well it wouldn't come off! I decided to go to this shop in hopes that someone could help me. I showed up around 930am and there was only one other person. I explained what was up and the lady who did my nails was fantastic! It took forever to soak and file down all that crap off my nails. She was so patient and then gave me a mani that looks fantastic. I'm not one to get my nails done, but this place may make me rethink that. Read Less

Pedicures are my absolute favorite. Decided to come here after work one day. Now I like to visit salons that are spacious, that's just preference M, but this place was really small. I don't like having to squeeze past the technicians to get to the tearoom or scooting my chair in so people may pass. On another note  they operate in a timely manner. I didn't have to wait for a seat to open up. The nail polish selection wasn't huge so I felt a limited. And they didn't have the brands I am familiar with. My technician did a great job though, I like the shape of my toenails, and her massage was putting to sleep. And the hot stones felt so nice. First salon I went to that did hot stone massages. After being seated to dry my nails, I let the technician know I was also there for an eye brow wax. After about ten minutes I sat at the front of the Salon. Someone asked me if I was ready to pay. I let them know ones waiting to get an eye brow wax as well. After about fifteen minutes a woman and her son came in and they were greeted and taken to the back for waxing. Now that I had pin pointed who was doing waxing in figured i would approach her and let her know I was waiting. After she finished with the woman and her son she sat down in one of the tech chairs and was playing on her phone. I ended up just paying for the pedicure and leaving. That was a half hour waiting game, I figured they would have better communication and let someone know I was waiting. So that was a downer for me. The price was decent and that was a plus. Will just stick with my regular salon though. Read Less

I was in need of a nail repair and was able to come to my preferred nail shop in Mililani. Located in the shopping center in Mililani Mauka is where you will find this place. It's a smaller shop and wait times do vary. Despite having to wait sometimes, I'd still head here for their quality work.Parking is available in front of the shop. It is located next to two restaurants so the lot can fill up quickly. Not to worry though, there are many more stalls within walking distance.I usually have a different technician when I  go in, but I have to say I've had good experiences with all of the other technicians. Some of them do some great nail designs, other than your standard flower. So inquire when you get there if you have a nail design in mind.Today I was helped by Lyn and she did a great job repairing my nails to my liking.  She also provided me with prompt and excellent service.

Despite some of the negative reviews I decided to give this place a try. I rarely get mani/pedis but I figured what the heck - haven't had one in a while and this nail salon is close by. I had a younger gal as my nail tech today. She was pleasant but seemed a little distracted for the first part of my time there. She took her time with the massage, which was really why I get pedicures to begin with, so that was nice. I was surprised when she didn't use a toe spacer when she painted my nails though. I should have said something because I noticed some of my toes lean on each other when they're relaxed, hence the nail polish smudged a decent bit.  I guess I was hoping she would have checked her work before moving on but oh well. Next the manicure. I got just the basic package so trim and lacquer. She pushed a cuticle back far enough for it to bleed but it wasn't painful so I told her not to worry about it. Then she put on a clear coat, two coats of the color, and another clear coat. I'm not sure if this is standard but it looks like I've just dipped my fingers in glue - it's so thick. The lady mentioned off handedly that the brush wasn't cooperating, which is why she had to redo one of my fingers from the beginning. Also not a big deal but I wasn't really sure how to respond. Can you switch out brushes? Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves but I probably won't be returning. Nothing against the people, everyone was very kind but when I think that this nail job costed me 4 hours of work, it makes it seem like a waste. I'll probably remove the fingernail polish later today. Read Less

The owner VICKY is incredibly R U D E...she has no patience, is NOT consistent and has a horrible attitude. She shaped my nails all different ways and they don't even look the same when I asked her to fix them she gave me an attitude. Doesn't seem like she treats her employee's nicely either. Let her know how rude she is...HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Never will I go back, nor send anyone their way. Treat people with respect. Read Less

I read the reviews before coming here and, although they weren't the best, I decided to give it a shot due to its convenient location. Anna was my nail technician and she did an EXCELLENT job. She gave me a firm, long massage and helped shape my poor big toe nail that was starting to cause me some pain. The prices were fair, I ordered the $45 pedi and it came with a sugar scrub, a leg mask, hot towels, hot stone massage, callous remover, the works. I also got a traditional manicure. I wasn't offered any choices of manicure and it was pretty basic but that's all I needed. The manicure was $19...I think. The receipt wasn't itemized and there wasn't a price list in the shop. If I were rating this salon based solely on Anna's service, I would have given 4 stars. I took off a star for cleanliness. There are definitely some ares of opportunity for Nail Design to provide the guests with a cleaner, better spa service. The nail polish is old and looks like it has been thinned out multiple times. Because of this, I decided to go with an off brand that looked nice and new rather than my usual OPI or China Glaze. The tools that are used come out of each technician's personal box so there is no way to be sure that they are sanitized between each use. I'm assuming that they are, but it is always nice to see tools come out of the sanitation package all nice and shiny and clean. This also goes for the foot baths, there was no visible list of times of cleaning and mine wasn't cleaned immediately after my pedi before another customer sat down. All of those things taken into account, I probably won't be making this my go-to salon, although there were quite a few regular customers receiving services while I was there. However, if I were in the neighborhood again and needed a mani/pedi, I would probably visit again and I would definitely ask for Anna. Read Less

If you ever wonder how much it costs to get a mani/pedi from someone who takes a nail file and violently files your skin until it burns - it's $65 here.Where shall I begin?First, I called ahead and made an appointment for two pedicures and one pedicure/gel manicure for 11am.  At about 1040, we realized we were running a little late, so I called back to let them know we were running about 15 minutes behind and ask if it was still OK to come in or if they needed to push our appointment back.  The lady who answered said it wasn't a problem and she would see us at 1115.  Apparently it was a problem, since we walked in at 1105 and she started complaining to her coworkers that we had an 11am appointment, but we were late, then began treating us as if we had inconvenienced her. Strike one.After we chose our nail polish from their vast selection of glitter polishes and metallics (can you sense my sarcasm), the three of us were sat in the pedicure chairs.  We all chose the same number pedicure, yet I was somehow the only one out of the three of us that didn't get soap in my water so I was basically just chilln' in a tub of cold water. The guy that did my pedicure also attacked my feet so aggressively that I literally have indentations on my nail beds where the polish settled around, creating these grooves in the polish that look like I banged my feet against something while the polish was still wet.  Strike two.Once my water soak and foot assault was complete, he took me to his nail station to begin with my "gel manicure".  I use that term loosely because, after getting gel manicures for the last ten years of my life, I'm still not sure what that was.  In order to take my previous gel off, he violently filed the top of my nail until my skin burned and I physically couldn't take it anymore.  You would think me pulling my hand away and saying "ouch, that hurts" would signal him to go in with a lighter hand. Nope.  He then had me soak MY ENTIRE HAND in acetone to loosen up whatever he didn't burn off with his file earlier.  I swear, each nail is a different shape and a different size, I have dried gel under my tips that is sticking to my skin, and the polish on the tips of my nails is already fading (a whopping 6 hours after my manicure) because he filed them down AFTER he painted & dried them. Strike three, four, five, six and seven.Saying this was the worst mani/pedi of my life is an understatement.  It's to the point that I'm seriously reconsidering a 20 year friendship with my girlfriend who suggested this God awful place. Read Less

This was my first time coming here and I got the natural pedicure which I believe is the number 4 on their list. My pedicure was done by the older lady there. The color selection was not very good. I felt like 90% of the colors were glitter. The massage chair on the other hand was phenomenal. The lady doing my toes did not know how to do any designs and the only one there at the time who knew how to do them was with a customer. I finished up my pedi and went to get my eyebrows and lip waxed. The lady was quick and did a good job but was kind of rude. Overall, this is your typical average nail shop. I will not be going back due to the fact that I paid $60 dollars total and felt it was not worth that. The place also needs a thorough cleaning! Read Less

I've been to many salons with not so great service they do an OK job but just ok. I had a manicure and pedicure here. It is the best manicure I've ever had! The tech took her time, painted them perfectly and they look beautiful! It was a very good experience, everyone was very friendly it was a clean place and timely service. I will definitely be going back and I will definitely be referring them to anyone I know that's looking for a great salon! Read Less

Checked out this place with a friend because it was close to our work.Overall I enjoyed myself. Staff was friendly and made good conversation. My pedicure was fantastic for the price and the atmosphere was good.We went early in the morning, around 930am and there was only one other person in the salon. It was very quiet and peaceful. A wonderful way to relax after work.Would definitely return~ Read Less

I've been going to Nail Design Mililani Mauka for the last year and they do hands down the best gel manicure in this area! I love all the ladies there and the work they do. I get compliments on my nails all the time!! Read Less

Ivy is the best!  Every month I come to see her.  She is awesome at helping decide the perfect color choices.  She's very nice, helpful and determined to have my stay a pleasant one.  No complaints here!Today, ivy helped me decide on this really pretty dark blue glitter color.  I had chosen about five different colors and she sampled each of them on my toes before the service.Ivy is very thorough I always get the Deluxe Pedicure from her- which is about $35.  Which to me, is well worth it!The massage is godly like I look forward to this every month!!!  She spends like 10 minutes per leg- it's quite heavenly.She is also thorough in removing my calluses, she is the best!!Ivy is very personable and likes to make conversation with me.  I will always frequent back here each month and see ivy!!!  :)The nail salon seats about six pedicure stations/ the massage chairs are awesomeness! They have toe nail dryers as fans though but it's fine - most nail salons do.   Nail color selection is nice.  I can always find the perfect shade or shades. Read Less

This review is way overdue. I have been going to this place for more than 2 years. I have moved out of the the city and I still take a special drive to go here. No one does it better. I also love the girls. The owner and her staff all very sweet. They really take the time to give you the best manicure/pedicure ever. It doesn't matter how busy the shop is. They will make sure you get the best service. I love these girls. Read Less

Lovely family run nail salon. My daughter and I come here often. Yes, the prices are high but it is worth the pampering we receive. They really listen and get what you want every time and always willing to fix any mistake (if any). Read Less

I would have given them a 5 if they had something on the tv besides football. I had a pedi and got my eyebrows done. I had to wait 10 mins because I came in on a Sunday, that was fine by me. They were very nice. Read Less

They did a wonderful job working on my feet. I got my pedi done with my younger sis and uncle. We always have a great experience here. Their service is on time and on point. They don't like to refuse here. They are thorough and careful with their craft. Read Less

2nd time here. The owner & staffs are always extremely friendly. I am happy with my pedi & mani. I always fell asleep during it, but they are polite enough not to wake me up. Very clean environment. Will definitely come back and recommend to other people. Keep up with the good services!!! Read Less

Eyelashes service here is a top notch! I have been searching for a place to do my lashes and I have finally found it. The service is absolutely superb and the people here are extremely kind. My eyelash tech is so incredible! I also decided to go for an Organic Pedicure. I think my leg and foot massage become more and more relaxing! This i the place to go and the price is so reasonable! Wonderful! Read Less

I have been to Nail Design twice now and love the job they do. It is so relaxing to get a manicure pedicure here. The women are sweet and very accommodating. They do take walk ins though. The pedi looks great, and they have a decent selection of colors. Read Less
