She immediately knew I had a baby because of the tension difference on each side of my back. She used techniques I haven't experienced before like mild stretching to work into certain areas & warm towels almost as massage aids on my neck. It was incredible. She was extremely skilled and obviously understood the body well enough to provide a massage that's relaxing and productive in releasing tension. The spa was easy to find and the atmosphere was perfect. It was clean, they were welcoming and professional, and the desk lady was so sweet too. I cannot wait to return.

During our trip to O'ahu we wanted to get a massage and did some research before deciding on…read moreLomilomi Hana Lima Healing Spa & Boutique. We booked two 90 minute massages with a 15 minute steam ahead of the massage. When we arrived they had us take off our shoes and gave us sandals to use, we also selected scents for the rooms and our tea preference. From there they showed us our rooms and had us change into robes before heading into the steam. While the space is too small for couples massages, we were able to go in the steam together and after we went into a room to drink our water/tea and relax ahead of the massage. Once they took us into the room the music was relaxing and they did a great job to ask where to focus and check in to make sure the pressure wasn't too much/too little. I had A LOT of tension in my back. While she was working on some problem areas I asked some questions about why it might be so tense/painful and it definitely was a mix of working out the pain to feel relief. The big takeaway was that I shouldn't go years between massages. After the massage we went back to the relaxation room and drank more water before heading out to pay. I felt so relaxed after the massage and would definitely recommend this business to others.

Super disappointed with the service I received and interaction with Mila. I had high hopes because…read morethe Yelp reviews were outstanding, but alas they were also misleading. This review is not to complain, simply to express my experience with Mila at the Face Lounge using a Groupon for a microdermabrasion treatment. Setting up the appointment was simple over the phone. When I had to cancel last minute due to work, she was understanding and flexible with rescheduling another appointment. The new location is in a residential area in Kaneohe. It's easy to miss, but gps does a fine job of getting you there. When I first met Mila she was pleasant, but seemed in a rush. Understandable as I was 5 minutes late due to not being able to find the house. I'll admit the setup in the bedroom upstairs was kind of odd...I felt weird being in a person's home. It wasn't very relaxing and the bed faced directly across a bright window that was pretty blinding as it didn't have any shades. I guess I'm just used to getting facial treatments in a spa-like environment. We started the microdermabrasion, it was my first time, she told me it would feel like sandpaper across my skin. I'd say my skin isn't that sensitive, it's more on the normal side - but wow, did it hurt in certain areas like under my eyes and cheeks...it started to burn by the third time she went over my face. Afterwards she began extractions on my face without steaming and opening my pores. That worried me. It also hurt like heck! She made a comment about how I didn't drink enough water thus dehydrating my skin and making it difficult for her because my skin "just wouldn't give". Hmm maybe it's because my pores aren't opened up?? Shame comment #1. Then she noticed bumps on my skin (milia), which I was conscious about to begin with. I have a about 5 little ones on my cheek. She said, "That's really bad, it's because of improper product usage. You're too young to have that you NEED to go to a dermatologist." Shame #2. At this point I just felt real crappy about my skin...about my face in general, which is so opposite from other experiences with previous facials I've gotten. I usually get comments about how good my skin looks! Then she put on a mask, it immediately started burning my whole face!! On fire!! She didn't believe me at first, but I was like, "This doesn't feel right is this supposed to feel like this?!" So with rough force she wiped it off with a wet rag and that HURT so badly. I was cringing with pain trying to keep quiet, not scream, and be polite. She proceeded with 2 more masks that also burned my face. Wow. Then of course ended with a shame #3 comment about how sensitive my skin was. In the end, I was rushed out because another client had arrived and I left feeling bummed out about the state of my skin with no solutions. Btw, the burning and redness on my face lasted for the next two days.

You've probably heard of the Midas Touch, but what about MILA'S Touch? Mila of Skinpure Beauty Bar…read moreturns everything she touches in to GOLD! I am so grateful to Groupon for introducing me to Mila & Skinpure Beauty Bar, initially for eyebrow waxing & shaping (see my previous review) and she also specializes in providing a comprehensive line of skin care treatments. So I recently had an opportunity to experience one of Mila's ultra RELAXING clinical facial cleanses, which I found so amazing. I couldn't resist letting my fellow Yelpers know that if you're a discriminating customer seeking a skilled, caring, gentle, conscientious, knowledgeable and very friendly esthetician to do wonders on your skin & face, look no further than Mila at Skinpure Beauty Bar, where for the service I received, the distinction is virtually pain-free extractions. You would find it impossible to not drift off to a state of nirvana under the care of Mila, who in my opinion gives the most soothing neck, arm and hand massages. Mila uses only high quality European products and you'll have to experience why her facial is not typical. I realized this when the usual order of cleansing, exfoliation, steam therapy, extractions, peel, mask & hydration was slightly DIFFERENT, and folks there is a reason. I won't give away her trade secret, you'll have to experience it, or ask her yourself! I was thrilled to know she offers her many services in packages and I am so looking forward to experiencing facials regularly at Skinpure Beauty Bar. Thank you, Mila, you are the best!

We called earlier in the day and made an appointment for 2 gel pedicures. It's a really small salon so appointments are probably recommended, but it wasn't busy when we went in- so walk-ins are probably OK too. There is a free parking lot out front, making it super convenient! The pedicure was actually pretty quick, I think we were in and out in around 30 minutes. There were just a few things that made it more of an OK experience for me. First thing is that they have a sign to "request to see the price menu". It's not like the pedicure was extremely expensive or anything, I just think that folks should be able to know beforehand what the service they are receiving costs. The other thing is that they had asked multiple times if we wanted to get manicures. I didn't mind the first time, but after declining multiple times it got awkward.

I have been meaning to write Noe a review for a long time now. Things always get in the way. One of…read moremy new year resolution for 2025 is to sit down and make sure I give credit to all of the vendors I love. I met Noe almost 10 years ago when she first started her business in the South Bay. I was desperate to find a masseuse as I had an awful, head pounding debilitating migraine that would not go away for days. I found Noe on Yelp and she was able to take me in right away. Noe is a miracle worker, after one hour of massage, the migraine completely went away and I walked out feeling normal again. I have gone to her for a massage ever since then. After a few years, I decided to try her facial too. I would go whenever I can but as soon as when I am able to afford a facial monthly, I made it a monthly routine. I followed her to the many locations she moved to in the past 10 years. There were times I tried other services because they were closer, but always end up regretting it. So I'm going to be loyal client for life! Noe has always been keen on researching and adding services that provide the best results. When she started to provide Qi treatment, I tried it and saw a difference it made on my face. I feel lifted, plumped and hydrated with less fine lines. It also lightened my dark spots! The last thing I have to add is, everything she offers in her shop is carefully curated. I love the Eminence Organics skin care she carries. They use pure, natural ingredients that is potent without chemicals. It absorbs fast and it works. My only regrets is I didn't start using them sooner because they are more costly than the products I have been using in the past. But I really think it's worth it in the long run. One thing that really saved my skin is using the toner and their moisturizer. Their mists (toner) produces such fine spray it makes my skin feel super refreshed and hydrated. My skin literally feels 10 years younger after using their products religiously. I am planning to start using the serums too. Now Noe is my go to person for all my skin care needs. And I'm so stoke that she is finally back in the South Bay!!!

Appointment scheduling, pre-health screening, and check in were easy and quick. The space is small and cozy. The RN was skilled at IV insertion and set up everything with competence and ease. She was very friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. I was placed in a large, leather reclining chair that was clean and comfortable. To my surprise, I was offered a variety of beverages and decided on a sweetened matcha! That was a nice, small touch. About half way through, I knew I was feeling much more hydrated as I was fidgeting waiting for a chance to use the bathroom. She also checked some vital signs pre-IV, after the first 500mL's, and again at the conclusion-I was happy to see my heart rate come down after the second 500mL's was infused .
