Excellent acrylic set with French tips and a little added sparkle. I only wish they had a few more brown options. Gel toenails also turned out great!

I religiously come here to get my nails done whenever I'm in Oahu (about every 3-6 months) because the attention to detail is unmatched. And I can absolutely tell how much they care when I get my nails done. Love going here! Highly recommend Lia and Hannah to do your nails.

This place is adequate but I wouldn't recommend it as a regular place. I've been here three times in the past few months. First visit I had a pedicure and it was fine. Second visit was a gel manicure. They did not file my nails and the cuticle edge of the gel was uneven and started to peel up within a week. Third visit I expressed concerns about using a drill on my natural nails. They were defensive rather than reassuring. I prefer a natural shape, neither round or square, and somehow ended up with very round nails. At that point it was too short to correct. I asked for the same shape I came in with. They completed the manicure without having me wash my hands at the end, so I had a mixture of lotion and nail dust all over my hands and arms. I have no problems speaking up but really that's a basic expectation. There's more but I won't get into it. There seems to be happy regulars when I visit. I was sincerely hoping to become a regular here but I keep getting disappointed. Update: I wrote the first part of the review while still in the shop. I noticed the edge of the gel was uneven so I asked them to fix it while still there. The technician did not listen, kept interrupting me even after I asked her to stop interrupting. I remained calm the whole time but she did not. She also called out this review online, accusing me of lying. Be warned.

I don’t get my nails done a lot, only for special occasions, and I really appreciated Hannah!! taking her time to do a really good job on my gel manicure, as well as touch up for me before my event (as I’m really hard on my nails?). She’s so friendly/kind and I’ll definitely be coming back to do my nails more often because of my experience with her.

Was prejudge off the top guess because of my color needed to use there restroom while me a wife had an appointment for medi and pedi at the shop.
Owner told me to go into the shopping center to use there's but you have to have an access code which they only provide for paying customers.after walked back to salon explain to wife they still didn't offer to let me use there restroom until after I told my wife that I didn't want to spend my money here and that should could get her nails done here but I'm not. then she ask why the shopping center wouldn't allow me to use there tacility and then she says ooohh | forgot.But you can go ahead and use ours.
Crazy things is when I tried to use the shopping center facility they asked me where I was buying from and I told them Serene Nails they said she has a restroom for customers

Are you on vacation or looking for a new nail salon? Stop looking, book your appointment in with Serene! I live on the west side of O'ahu and drive here because the care and quality of their services is exceptional. Former athlete here, absolutely hate nail salons because of the judgement and all, but this salon is by far the best in all aspects of nail care. I've now been coming to Serene for almost 2 years, and plan to continue to come here for my pedicures!

Thank you to Hana for fixing my nails. I had went to Kuhio Nails yesterday and they destroyed my nails. I asked for a fill and French tips. My nails were also supposed to keep their shape (Coffin Shaped) and the Kuhio Nails didn’t shape my nails, there were bumps on my nails where she didn’t file them down right and the French tips looked horrendous. But today I went in and seen Hana and she shaped my nails like they were supposed to be and she took her time making sure to get the bumps and the acrylic off my skin. She worked meticulously to make my nails look perfect afterwards she polished them in beautiful mermaid colors of green, pink and blue. This is now my permanent nail salon. I will return to them every 2 weeks to have my nails done. Thank you Hana for saving my nails from the ugliness that Kuhio Nails did to them!!!
Requested style: Coffin shape with mermaid colors
Cleanliness: The shop is meticulous!!

This place did a great job. I treated my finance to get a pedicure with me here since he never gets pedicures. We both got deluxe pedicures. He loved his. Lily was great. Katie did my pedicure and I got regular polish. It turned out amazing. She used a paint brush with nail polish remover to clean up any messy edges. Great cuticle care. They used the “cheese grater” on my fiancé’s calluses and pumice on both of us. They helped me put my flip flops on. I complained that the water wasn’t hot enough and they used a tub to remove the water twice so that they could fill the tub with hotter water. I still didn’t have hot hot water but my fiancé said his was plenty hot.
I was looking for a specific polish color (off white/light pink). Multiple colors I selected they were out of. Katie helped me select a color that was closest to my fingernails. It was frustrating that they were out of a lot of my color choice but ultimately I ended up with a color I love since Katie helped me.
The place feels clean and the tv was turned on to landscapes as well as music in the background. Because I made a reservation for 9am when they open, we were seated right away. I had made a reservation in advance with specific nail techs. They called me three days before my appointment to let me know that neither of them were available anymore (one was moving away and the other was on vacation). They still were able to accommodate me, it would just be with different nail techs.

I come here to get my acrylics taken off, because the man there is able to remove them without damaging my nail beds! But last time I went to get acrylics my set took longer than my friend who got a full gel mani/pedi, and they put way too many layers of nail polish on my nails, where they rise above my nail beds. Hit or miss kind of

Walked in without an appointment and was helped right away. I will definitely recommend this salon to my friend and will make the drive from now on.
