SERVICE -- Because this business isn't the owner's full-time job, you would need to set up an appointment to look at their selection. This business operates from a home along a residential neighborhood in Pohaku St in Kalihi. In order to get into the business, you would need to get in contact with them through their Facebook page or by calling their business number, which is the owner's personal phone number (808) 428-6231. This business is mostly known through tabling at Filipino fiesta, Facebook Marketplace, or by word of mouth. Agnes, the store owner, is very kind and let me try on many items. Pricing is very reasonable for the listed pieces.
