Yuen L.

NP Rita did an amazing job with my upper lip filler. Not only did she have amazing bedside manner but she also began and ended on time which is important for a busy professional such as myself. I LOVE my lips and how skillful she is!

Dr. Ching truly changed my like. I am so grateful. After losing over 100lbs in the last 6 yrs, I was left with so much extra skin and this yr have had an arm lift, neck lift, fleur de lis tummy tuck, breast lift with implants and now for the 1st time in my life people are calling me skinny! I have so much more confidence and when I look in mirror (which is all the time now) for the 1st time I love what I see! Dr. Ching and his staff have been so amazing through it all and I am so grateful!!

Not only is she a pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable aesthetician who provides the best massages (I never want it to end!), but she also takes the time to research ingredients in skincare products before using them on her clients. Additionally, she is very thorough in her technique. She is the only aesthetician I've been to who will extract every comedone! I always leave feeling like I'm on cloud 9.

She starts by talking to you about your skin concerns and and then does a complete analysis of your skin as she starts cleansing. Taking into account your concerns with her observations, she tailors the facial to address both. She cleanses and exfoliates a couple times and includes really indulgent masks that feel luxurious on the skin. She also gets elbow deep with her extractions, and times herself each time to track the progress of your skin and its resilience. Having started monthly facials with her several months ago, I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin. It is brighter and more even toned and my pores along the bridge of my nose have shrunk (something I have only experienced with chemical peels). The Yonka skincare line that she carries is a really effective brand to incorporate at home in between your facials. Make an appointment with Dara post haste if you want a noticeably softer, smoother, and younger appearance. You won't regret it!

I began laser treatments with Masami approximately four months ago - I wanted my (many) fine…read morelines/wrinkles diminished as well as my "Hawaii" sun spots lightened/removed. I had been using retinol serums (both over the counter and prescription) for years but the redness and skin irritation from the retinoids wasn't resulting in any significant positive improvements. During my consultation, Masami explained the process, showed before and after photos (anonymous) and discussed her credentialing. (Note that she is conveniently located in Waikiki in an urgent care clinic - the room she uses is extremely private.) She did not oversell her services or products - she was very matter-of-fact, discussed my responsibility (sunscreen and hats!), and was extremely knowledgeable concerning skin care (and she has absolutely gorgeous skin btw!). She was clear that I would need to come every couple of weeks for 7+ treatments to see good results. I've just completed visit 8 with Masami. My treatment includes a laser treatment of my face followed by a Vitamin C treatment. I also have the tops of my hands treated with the laser. The visit lasts approximately one hour. The room is pleasant, soothing music plays and the treatment is so painless I tend to drift off (a nice afternoon nap with benefits!). My skin is not red or painful when finished - I can immediately run errands, etc. I am seeing good, gradual results - my skin is definitely smoother, my spots are lightening, and the lines are diminishing. Masami takes photos at every session so we can track and assess progress at the beginning of each session. After finishing my first 7 sessions, I signed up for a second set of 7 - the progress is gradual but it is pleasant (and easy!) progress for me - NO reddening, peeling, irritation, chemical injections, etc. I now use only soap to wash my face (inexpensive powder soap recommended by Masami) as well as a high-grade petroleum jelly on my face if any moisture is needed (also recommended by Masami) - no more expensive products or dermatologist visits, etc. Seriously. No more products. I'm continuing the treatments and will post photos.

I am so grateful to have met Masami and to have her evaluate my melasma and skin condition. She was…read moreso gentle and patient and explained to me about skin and also products that are not good for skin. Maybe surfactants are in products to fuse water and oil and these are very harsh on the skin. After stopping the use of these and other cosmetic products besides Japanese powder wash and Vaseline and SPF at 20, my melasma is very improved. The laser treatment also was helpful in healing the melasma. It did not hurt and the Vitamin C treatment after was very soothing. I had no redness. I wish I lived closer to Imperial Facial so I could come more often! Thank you Masami!

I visited Goddess Aesthetics for the first time yesterday because my hair stylist Leah Frankson…read morerecently started working there. It has a dedicated hair salon area there, which you wouldn't know from the name of the business, but hopefully the word will get out soon. Leah is an artist, and deserves recognition in Hawaii. I have followed Leah from her first salon in Kapahulu, to her transfer to a Kailua salon, and finally, to Goddess Aesthetics. I live in East Honolulu, so it is quite the drive across the Pali Hwy, especially with traffic, to have my hair cut. I've done this for the past couple of years because she is worth it. She is the only stylist I've found on Oahu who consistently gives me natural root touch ups (my hair is an Asian brown-black) and beautiful layered haircuts that suit my face shape. I had despaired of finding a hairstylist I could trust, after living in NYC for two decades. I had less than ideal cut&colors in different salons on the island until I found Leah. After my first visit, I knew she was it. It was a relief to find her, and I will follow her wherever she roams on this island. Please don't ever leave Hawaii, Leah!

I came in for a facial, already telling myself, "You're not gonna relax, you never do." Yeah, well... joke's on me, because five minutes in and I was practically melting into the table. Angela has this calm, soothing voice that could probably convince a tornado to chill out. She was so patient and thoughtful and really took her time to look at my skin, asked questions, and explained what she was doing in a way that didn't sound like a skincare lecture. She even gave me personalized tips and product recs that made sense for MY skin (and not like those "just buy this $300 serum" kind of suggestions). And let me tell you... when I looked in the mirror afterward ... WOW!! My skin was glowing. Like, actually glowing. Soft, hydrated, smooth! I legit caught myself touching my face all day and even in the days after. I haven't seen my skin look this good in forever. Angela's the real deal!! She's patient, knowledgeable, and seriously good at what she does. If you've ever wanted a facial that leaves you looking and feeling like you've been on vacation (minus the plane ticket), book it. Just do it. You'll walk out wondering how your face ever survived without her.

When I walked to the front to pay I was told 3x that price, over $300. Obviously I was shocked and objected, but I was met with a condescending tone.

This is deception marketing. This strategy is to confuse you and require you to do the math at bedside to figure out your actual cost. Huge disappointment.

I can't wait to come back again for any future services!
