While Lowe's usually doesn't disappoint us on this particular occasion we are very disappointed…read more We purchased KraftMaid cabinets from Lowe's in Kona only to discover a few months later the cabinets were infested with powder post beetles. The star goes to Jason and Jordan, who were very responsive and helped us to the best of their ability but corporate washed their hands of the issue as did KraftMaid. The disappointment comes from the fact Lowe's is supporting a manufacturer that doesn't care they are supplying customers with a product infested with an invasive species. Sure the beetle is already in Hawaii, but the timeline of our purchase strongly suggests the cabinets were infected prior to arrival on the island. Bottom line, don't buy KraftMaid cabinets if you live in Hawaii. Support a local cabinet maker not Lowe's in this category.

The artist, Isaiah, is inspired by the ʻāina and kai (land and sea), as well as his Native Hawaiian and Japanese heritage. He really honors the raw materials he uses (wood, shells, bones) in his designs. He does lots of earrings, but also does hair sticks, hook necklaces, and more. He does craft fairs where he sells his jewelry, but he also posts his current items on his Instagram (@kekumuaoadesigns). Isaiah does commissions too for jewelry, but his Insta has pics of commissions for combs, mirrors, lei, and urns. He is super knowledgeable about native plants (and plants in general) as he is an ethnobotany professor too. And he's just hilarious as a person!

I consider Jason one of the Tiki legends but I know he doesn't think he's a legend, and that's how…read morelaid-back and modest and cool this icon to the Tiki community is; he's the Tiki Lamp God. If he was reading this now I can imagine his face turning bright red, much like how I look after I consume certain types of alcohol! Calling him a Lamp God is a bit of an insult, actually, but I have to introduce the wonderful people reading this to his craft and art and creations and if I don't at least mention the word "Tiki" and "Lamp" together, it would lose people. I first found Jason on Facebook, and then Instagram. I fell in love with the Tiki culture and all things Tiki, then I found the lamps he creates, and it was love at first lamp! If you appreciate custom-lighting like I do, you will want to have Jason create you a lamp-of-all-lamps. He can turn almost anything into a lamp, tiki or not. I've seen him make a Maneki Neko Japanese ceramic cat into a lamp that was so popular on Instagram people were BEGGING him for it, but he does not mass-produce anything, he creates them, one at a time, custom-made, lovingly, and he does not only make lamps, he makes custom hanging lights and lit wall lighting; he's a wizard with resin as well. Jason created my custom one-of-a-kind lamp made out of a tiki mug I chose. I also got to choose the shade as well. I knew I was going to the Big Island for a trip so I thought I would I would send the mug ahead of time and he would create it, then I would pick it up, and that's exactly how it worked out. Jason told me he actually prefers to have people pick it up in person, and he's been doing this for years so he can also mail it out, but just think of the money you would save on shipping, the fun you'd have going to the Big Island as an excuse to pick up your amazing lamp, and the great honor you'd have meeting the Tiki Lamp God himself, Mr. Jason! This review may sound a bit whimsical, but Jason's creations are heirloom-quality, to be handed down for generations to come; you may be wondering how I know these things, it's because I'm an artist and a craftsman myself. I know the laborious process of creating something by hand, and something that's only one-of-a-kind, and truth be told, craftsmen never get get reimbursed their full time for the love they create; I used to craft stained glass and there is no way I could re-coup the full time and labor making my art and putting a price on it, but the difference between myself and Jason is that he makes his living creating his art and I was only doing it as a hobby, and I was only marginally good at it, whereas Jason is amazing at what he does; he is the master of his craft as well as a good businessman: texts back promptly, delivers on time, does professional work: many of his creations are in a lot of well-known businesses as well and he is well-respected in the local community and beyond, including Europe, Japan and Australia. I've already ordered two more mugs tonight and looking forward to having Jason create me more custom-lighting! Please check Jason out on Facebook TIki J's Custom Lamps and Shades and Instagram by the same name.

When we were embarking on our first project, we went to a few places for consultations. Casey's professionalism, attention to detail, warmth, fabulous communication, savvy, and creativity put her on a far different level than anyone else we encountered. It was a joy working with her on the vision and execution of both projects -- she went above and beyond, helping us with every piece of the process from flooring, choosing fixtures, and other details we hadn't thought of. She also put us in touch with other folks at HPM who delivered with the same level of care and great communication. I recommend HPM and Casey without reservation!!

She checked a hair strand, then advised that I could use Wella Colour Charm T-14 all over. Normally I used it only to tone after lightening, but she didn't think I needed to use any bleach, and that it would cover the grey. She also helped my friend pick out a fun vibrant pink for her natural blonde hair. She also gave us some tips about local beaches where we could swim. She was so friendly and helpful. We were extremely pleased with her customer service. Results -Yes ! She indeed was correct - the T-14 worked wonders on my grey - who knew ?! So thrilled with the results. My gf's hair turned more purple then pink. She didn't really like it as it looked so different on the box and the hair sample in store - but not too worry ! It had completely washed out due to the pool & ocean by the time our trip was over. Bonus - the beaches Sky suggested were really great. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Sky you were awesome !
