Alexis made the experience as painless as possible. She was also very understanding of my sensitivity and allowed me to take breaks when needed. She even provided me with a stress ball which was a nice touch. She provided me with tips on how to care for myself and make the next session more comfortable. I also went home with the recommended sugar scrub for exfoliation and ingrown hair serum which you can get a sample of in their welcome package! The facilities were super clean and the bed was comfortable. I even scheduled my next appointment before I left so I can make sure I stay consistent. I will definitely be coming back again and again! Thank you!

I have to say that I am extremely picky about my eyebrows and have been seeing the same person for…read more10 years, but I needed a new person closer to my home, and that's how I found Brows and Bushes. The location located upstairs at Nueve Salon and Spa (the door specifically says Brows and Bushes for those going for their first time), I was easily able to walk here after also easily booking using Vagaro, the very user friendly online platform. I came in for an eyebrow wax and told her I was scared to get my brows done and she walked me through her process and what she envisioned for my eyebrows (I had a bad experience at a salon many years ago and have been hesitant to try anyone new since... hence me going to the same person for 10 years prior). Anyway, she was extremely communicative and kind and the experience was easy and comfortable. I left feeling great about my eyebrow shape and felt even better about supporting her business. She is so good at her job, a talented waxer, and a great conversationalist! Looking for a wax? This is the place to go.

I think I just found my favorite aesthetician! I am thrilled to share my experience with the Yelp…read morecommunity, particularly the ladies. I had stumbled onto this place from a groupon offered a couple months ago. The price was right. $27 for a full Brazilian wax. Dirt cheap. But we ladies don't just want affordable. We want a place that's hygienic, friendly, convenient, and pretty. Oh and did I mention as painless as possible?? Well look no further. Lynn is the way to go! Smooth Beauty Studio is located in the Connie Gayle Beauty Centre right on the corner of Beretania and McCully opposite the Shell gas station. Easy to find, lots of parking, and sitting in a convenient part of town. If one judged the interior by the way the outside looked, you'd see women fleeing the scene. The blacked out tint and dated wooden building reminds me of an adult toy store. But once you muster up the courage to walk in, everything changes. The Beauty Centre is bright and clean, buzzing with conversation between the hairstylists and customers. White lights enhance the marble floors. Soft blue tones dance with silver metallics that make the place feel bigger than it really is. As I stopped at the reception desk, Lynn had already pegged me as her next client and we hit it off right then and there! She led me into her studio space that is shared amongst the other aestheticians, all working independently from each other. Lynn was professional and comforting, asking the basic questions like "Have you waxed before?" and "When was your last waxing?" She even mentioned that it was important to keep hydrated the couple days before to help the hair removal process. The wax she used was the most gentle I've ever experienced. Brazilians are painful no matter what, but it makes a HUGE difference when the wax grabs the hair properly and the professional removes it cleanly. She told me to inhale, then ripped at the exhale. What a great tip! Throughout the waxing, she spoke to me about her family of five children who have all grown up, her nice husband Pat, and how she used to run her business from home until it got a bit too busy. I can see why! She's professional, comforting, easy to talk to, and very affordable. Because I was SO impressed with the whole experience, I booked my recheck then and there in 4 weeks. Five stars all the way for Smooth Beauty Studio! THANK YOU LYNN!!!

Yesterday was my first time visiting this location. I found them on Instagram and, to be honest, I…read morewas a little hesitant at first. When I arrived, parking was a bit tricky due to limited spaces but that's pretty normal for Hawaii (ha!). Back on track, my waxer was Jazmin, and she is truly an angel sent from heaven. She's so kind, informative, and kept the conversation going the entire time, which I loved because I hate silence. She also gave me so much helpful information about ingrowns, especially since I'm very prone to them. The hydro jelly was my first time trying it, and now it's officially my favorite! Jazmin is honestly the sweetest waxer, and I highly recommend her to everyone. Even if you're just visiting, stop by for a simple glow and book with Jazmin you won't regret it. See you in 4 weeks!

I just moved here and this was the first place I tried. I got a Brazilian wax. I want to say that…read more Jazmin was very nice but I don't think the quality of the wax + her technique was worth anywhere near what I paid. She missed a lot of hair and most of the hair was not removed down to the root. I am about one week out from my appointment and already have visible regrowth which should not be the case at all I'm very unhappy with my results and the amount I paid. Won't be back. She also was pretty annoying about getting me to buy some overpriced oil and exfoliation pads which I declined, and then she was kind of insisting that I book another appointment which I also happily declined. Lol my total was $99 ridiculous. I never make reviews but in this case I wish I would've seen something like this before going in.

My favorite things about EWC: - great customer service experiences - the Wax Pass program - their convenient, easy, nation-wide booking and pay system. For a while, I was out on the east coast for work and sought some much needed self care. Luckily, I found an EWC in the area and discovered my wax passes could still be applied at any location! #wonderful . Kalani was the most reliable technician who I booked for ages at Kapiolani, but she's moved on. ): Jasmine is now my go-to person and she's just as nice and efficient.

I showed up on time for my appointment today, had to change waxers because my wax person was…read morerunning behind and had to take a forced break even though she said she would take me. They got me in over 15 min past my appt time with a different person. Keep in mind there was no call notification whats so ever. When I was taken to the back the bed they wanted me to lay on was dirty with visible dirt and a paper that only covered 2/3 of the bed. As a cosmetologist myself, if something as simple as the being bed is dirty, I would absolutely NOT trust that the wax is clean as well. Since I was getting a Brazilian I do not trust that they are not putting double dipped wax on my kitty, avoid if looking for a place. This coming from someone in the beauty industry and who is aware of the sanitation procedures.

We arrived before our appointment time and filled out their forms. We each had our own room/skin care specialist. The comfortable spa table is prepped with a little steamer to get your face ready for treatment. The HydraFacial machine was explained to me. She also stated that if the process felt uncomfortable, I could alert her to adjust the pressure. The procedure helped to clean, exfoliate, and remove impurities from my skin. She then applied a serum of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The final application was sunscreen. While the untrained eye, probably couldn't SEE a difference after the HydraFacial, I could certainly FEEL the difference. Clean, fresh, and super rejuvenated! As a follow up, I came in for the Scultural Face Lift with Buccal Massage. This included lymphatic drainage (behind your ears) and microcirculation of my shoulders, neck, and jaw area. If you've never had a massage inside your mouth, try it! This helps to relax jaw muscles and many TMJ patients use this. Honey, you are worth it! Whether a special occasion or just because. They have many options in their menu of services. They also sell products to compliment all your skin care needs. God blessed you with the skin you're in, this is a great way to maintain it :)
