What a scam. My poor mother was taken advantage of in this…read morestore, prying on her age and the beauty standards of looking young to sell her an overpriced product. (5.3k) in skin care that we are not even sure that works. We came to hanalei as tourists, and this is why they brought her in I assume. They held onto her for almost 1.5 hours trying to pry money out of her hands. I advised her to say no, when we told the guy we didn't want the product he probed and asked why and tried to make her feel uncomfortable with the emotions she was sitting with. She now regrets saying yes. This was expensive and coniving and genuinely feels so painful that people like this exist. I understand people are trying to make a living, but sales like this are unhonest and ruthless. Older women and men deserve to feel beautiful not need something to achieve that beauty. Age is such a wonderful thing and these people sell that insecurity to poor souls who are visiting this wonderful shopping outlet. Locals even described it as graping your money. Would not recommend EVER. If I could give a zero rating I would.

Moritzio approached me outside his store while I was walking around Ching Young Village during…read morevacation with my husband. He handed each of us a sample packet of eye cream and asked if I wanted him to demonstrate it. I said yes, but that we had plans and I could only stay a couple of minutes. He agreed and said he would apply the cream and give me a brochure if I wanted more information. We went inside and he applied the eye cream. It is one of those "instant facelift" creams that contains magnesium aluminum silicate (look it up on Google and EWG dot org). All of the "instant facelift" creams contain this key ingredient. I was just curious about what made his eye cream different or better. Anyway, he proceeded to try a very "hard sell" on me for the eye cream and its "system." Every time I tried to say "thank you, give me a brochure and I'll think about it" he launched into a new topic to try to keep me there. After a few more minutes my husband and I both began getting very annoyed. We had made it clear that we couldn't stay long, and he had promised only to take up a couple of moments of our time. He broke his promise. Finally, when we insisted that we had to leave, he shouted at us (direct quote) "You two are f**cking a**holes. Get out of my store." Then he stormed away. We were really taken aback. There was no reason for such abusive offensive language. We had been polite to him the entire time, going along with his sales pitch and demonstration. This store, and this man, bring shame to Ching Young Shopping Center and the town of Hanalei. I looked up the company on Google later and found so many complaints about them and their sister companies (which all sound like scams). I'm surprised that the beautiful town of Hanalei allows this rude shyster to harass and insult tourists and locals in such an overt and offensive way. In my opinion, Ching Young Village should not renew this store's lease when it comes up. Moritzio said he was Brazilian and had lived in Israel for a number of years. Well Moritzio, if you're reading this, you are a shonda on Hanalei. May your rude obnoxious behavior come back to you tenfold.

I am so grateful to have met Wanda and Dr Kent and to have a holistic view of my injury rather than just giving me medicine as my PCP wanted to do. After months of pain I can honestly say I am finally starting to feel better in both my mind and spirit.
