I started using lash serum in July, surprisingly it has grown and thickened my lashes amazingly. BUT since the Filipino lashes love growing straight and angled down, I needed to get them curly! I found Sarah who happens to be conveniently close. There weren't many pictures or reviews of her lash lift services, but clients all looked happy with their extensions. I was able to get an appointment fairly quickly. The deposit was reasonable (and goes toward the total price). The location is super easy to find and convenient for me, even though I accidentally went upstairs and almost checked in to a massage! LOL Sarah is so kind and knowledgeable! She shared so much information about lashes and brows, growth cycles, and more! Absolutely amazing results that lasted 8 weeks! Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back! read more

Hoku Hale - An older picture but definitely how my natural lashes look. No lift, no serum, no mascara. - Skin Care Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

See all

Let me start off with how much I love Sarah's work.. I live in town but I drive ALL the way to Waialua to see Sarah because she does SUCH A GREAT JOB! Her studio is so cute, clean and she makes such a relaxing experience by playing soothing music while she works away. There was a time where I tried someone else in town and that was the last time, back to the north shore I went to my bomb lash lady. The quality of these lashes are great, Sarah is very knowledgeable in her craft and gives helpful insight into keeping your lashes clean and looking fabulous! I always get complimented on my lashes and people don't believe me when I say they are extensions because they look so natural. Besides the lashes looking great Sarah is so fun to talk to, she's really smart and knows a lot about everything so that definitely adds on to the experience! For anyone thinking of trying out Hoku Hale I highly recommend you do! ;) read more

This review is long overdue... I have been seeing Sarah at Hoku Hale since 2014. She is definitely the best! I received a gift certificate to do a lash extension as a gift from a former student's mom. I was going through a bad divorce and she told me she wanted to boost my self esteem. And that is exactly what my first visit with Sarah did ... and 8 years later I continue to see Sarah at Hoku Hale for my lash extensions every three weeks. People have commented how natural my eyelash extensions look. I can honestly say, with extensions, I'm no longer hesitant about going out in public without makeup! Lol! Sarah's prices are reasonable and I feel you get more than what you pay for! Thank you Sarah for always making me feel beautiful!!! Sarah is a master at lash extensions and skin care! She is a Hawaii Licensed Esthetician & Award Winning Lash Artist. When you walk enter Hoku Hale you greeted with a warm, clean and sanitized environment. I highly recommend Sarah. Hoku Hale is the place to be for your skin care and lash extensions needs! read more

I've been getting my lashes done for a little under a year and I've always come out displeased. But with Sarah it's so different!! She took the time to explain what's good for your natural lash and the grow out process and on top of that she offered a blanket for my little "lash nap" you can not beat the customer service and my lashes and eyebrows look amazing!! I got a classic more natural set. Mahalo Sarah!!! read more

Hoku Hale - Skin Care Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

I must give props when props are due. Sarah, definitely deserves just that. I've waxed and sugared for a few years now. My skin has always been sensitive. I've learned a lot about my skin. None of my ethteticians have educated me as much as Sarah. After my first visit, I felt that previous ethteticians were not as good as I thought they were. Bar has been raised! Thank you Mrs. Matthews! read more

Hoku Hale - Waiting room - Skin Care Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

Sarah is an absolute lash genius! During the initial appointment, her experience and years of continued training shone through when she was able to customize the exact look I wanted while also making it work for my active lifestyle. Since then, I have been coming to Sarah religiously and she makes sure my lashes look amazing every single time. She is professional, sanitary, and a pleasure to be around, too. Thank you for all that you do, Sarah! read more

Hoku Hale - This was even one week after my fill! Volume and length still looked really good. - Skin Care Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

I have been coming here for waxing for over a year and have been meaning to write a glowing review for all that time. Sarah helped me get through my first ever Brazilian, and i've been going here ever since. She is very professional but also very friendly and makes me feel at ease. That's not easy to do, as i'm an introvert that has a hard time making small talk. However, Sarah is so easy to talk to that she takes your mind off the pain of waxing. Plus, she does everything she can to make it less painful - most of the time I barely notice what's going on! If you are a newbie to waxing like I was, i highly recommend her for your first time (and all future times!). Very reasonable prices and loyalty program, and she will make you feel like a valued customer. I will miss her when I leave the island! read more

I contacted Hoku Hale for eye lash extensions. It was my first time having the service done and I was a little nervous about the finished product. I wanted to enhance my eyes, but not look over done. I booked my appointment online and since it was same day, I read that I should call as well. I called and left a message for Sarah. She promptly called me back confirming my appointment time. My first impression was professional and friendly. I showed up to my appointment early because I was from out of town and was unsure of how long it would take to get to the location. Sarah was very accommodating and offered to take me earlier. The space was very clean and relaxing. Sarah took her time to listen to what I wanted, offered options, and educated me on the process. The whole experience was very relaxing. I even fell asleep at one point. Sarah is a true artist! The eye lashes were perfect and just what I wanted. I was beyond ecstatic with the results. Before leaving, Sarah gave me careful instructions for after care verbally and printed on a card (great idea). She assured me if I had any questions to call. If you're looking for a great lash extension technician, Sarah at Hoku Hale is it! read more

This review may be a bit long, but hopefully it will help someone who is trying to make a decision of whether to try getting eyelash extensions or decide where to get them done. Sarah is out in Waialua, but she is worth the drive! When I get compliments for my lashes, people say, "Wow, you have pretty lashes!" or, "Are those your lashes?" I love telling people about Sarah! She does an amazing job on my lashes all the time. I'm so glad I chose her, let me share why. For the past few years, I've always wanted to try extensions but from what I've read, you need to be careful about the types of glue used and the amount of experience a person has so you don't damage your natural lash. So, because of that I was cautious for a long time of whether to try it out or not. Why did I want eyelash extensions? My lashes are long, however they are fine and thin. They are visible and look best with mascara. My thought was that having extensions will give me that look I want and save me time. I work very close to Sarah's office and looked up her website to read about her. The first thing that made me feel good about finally trying extensions was what I read on her website. The glue used are medical quality and produced by an RN with each batch tested before sent out to the stylist. Second, the Xtreme lash that is used is tapered at the end. I thought that was cool because it would look more natural as opposed to other extensions I've seen and while they look nice, you know they are "fake lashes". The first time I spoke to Sarah I called her cell. She was so personable, answered my questions and mentioned that I could book over the phone with her or through her online calendar which is on her website. I loved that no pressure feeling when speaking with her. When I first met Sarah for my first appointment I had really good vibes about her. She is upbeat and so easy to talk to! The initial appointment was about 2 hours, fills after that are about 1 hour. We talked in the beginning and then I fell asleep. The space that she uses is just relaxing and her hands are light. I apologized for falling asleep I was so embarrassed because I could hear myself snoring at times, but she was cool about it. When I saw my lashes, Wow! I loved them! What I love about having these eyelash extensions is that it accentuates my eyes beautifully that I don't need eyeliner or mascara. Sarah taught me how to care for them and even has other products to use to help maintain the lashes. She shares tips on skin care and was the one who made me realize that the redness I would get on my face was because of a product I used! I am allergic to aspirin, well, if you use any product containing salicylic acid, you will react adversely to it. Now I know what to look for. I've been a client since December 2014. To this day, I still fall asleep during my appointment and I get my eyelashes filled every 2 weeks. It takes budgeting for me to do that, so I chose my eyelashes over my pedicures. Sarah offers a Loyalty program, you get a free fill for every 6 appointments. For me, that means 4 free fills a year! She even has a referral program. What it comes down to is this, Sarah is really good at what she does. Check out her work on Instagram (Hokuhale), that's what I did too before I met with her. I will continue to be her client because she is a great person, professional and because she makes me look good and that makes me feel more confident. Like they say, "People will do business with you if they know you, like you and trust you". If you are still reading, I hope this review encourages you to book an appointment with Sarah. Make a great day! read more

Sarah is an artist....precise, with a light touch. I love my extensions. Serene environment, clean, comfortable. I dozed off... Excellent customer service, responded immediately after I emailed at 9pm, Tuesday nite, was able to get in on Saturday. provides info on how to care for your lashes, reasonably priced too. I look forward to returning in 3 weeks. Update, 4 visits later, exemplary customer service. I go every 3 weeks for maintenance, no complaints. Highly recommend Sarah.

I found this little gem in Waialua on Yelp. The reviews are all accurate! My favorite part is being able to schedule an appointment online! Sarah is professional, knowledgable, and skilled in the art of eye lash extensions. I love my extensions and plan to see Sarah again and get other services as well.... So I went back to Hoku Hale to get a whole face wax and facial, and oh my gosh! AMAZING! My skin is radiant and it felt so good to be pampered in products that I know are safe and healthy for my skin. Sarah just wowed me with her knowledge and care for my specific skin needs. We are lucky to have her level of skill and professionalism on the North Shore read more

My first appointment with Sarah at Hoku Hale was for a bikini wax. She took the time to understand my skin type and made it a relaxing experience. She made sure I was satisfied with the wax job before letting me go. I was so pleased with my experience at Hoku Hale that I set up another appointment that same week to receive a facial and reflexology. I had the Hoku Signature Facial and reflexology done on my feet. Once again, Sarah cheerfully welcomed me and ensured the facial was as relaxing as possible. She analyzed my skin and performed necessary extractions. My skin and mind felt rejuvenated and brighter. I love the products she uses, they feel good on the skin and have a wonderful smell. I will definitely be returning to Hoku Hale for services in the future and would recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to feel pampered! read more

I found my lash lady! Sarah was so welcoming and nice the moment I walked in the door. She was also very thorough about the process and after care.

Sarah was so educated and well informed. She filled my lashes and did such a great job! I highly recommend her services!

Sarah is the best in the game. As a full time model I have to have perfect, natural lashes that won't appear tacky or fake - especially on camera. She always does them perfectly and I always get compliments. People ask me if I use some kind of eyelash growing serum. Not to mention Sarah is such a wonderful, sweet, talented woman who is genuinely passionate about what she does. THANK YOU. read more

Sarah is amazing. I was still not a 100% sure if I wanted to do my lashes as it was my first time but she made me feel comfortable and at ease.

I wish that Hoku Hale were in Kona instead of Oahu. But hopefully be seeing her again soon ! read more

I moved to Hawaii this past July and was so nervous to find a new person to wax my eyebrows... So I just didn't do it for months. Then I decided to try Hoku Hale and Sarah did such a great job.

I got my eyelashes done for the first time with a groupon voucher. OMGS my eyelashes were so beautiful once sarah was done with me. Took about 2 hours and i was so relaxed i ended up taking a little nap. Its been about 3 weeks since i got them and they are still in perfect condition. I am very happy with the longevity of the lashes and how i don't need to wear mascara anymore. I wake up looking fabulous. I can't wait to go back for a fill. I'm hoping to get a fuller look. read more

I've never written a yelp review before, but after my session with Sarah I had to. She could not have been more accommodating and amazing. She took me in before she even opened to ensure I would make it on time to work. I could not believe that she had remembered me and our conversations from the last session, which was close to a year ago. It's seriously like going in to see an old friend. She's the most kind and bubbly person I've ever been to, and can make getting something as uncomfortable as a Brazilian, a piece of cake. Thank you for everything you lovely lady, I'll be seeing you soon! read more

Sarah is a talented lash stylist! I was always hesitant to get my lashes done because I was afraid it wouldn't look natural. Before my appointment, I sent her a picture of the look I wanted. Before applying my extensions, she took the time to find out what I found appealing about the lashes in the picture I sent to her. She pointed out what she saw based on her knowledge and expertise then helped me decide on the type of lashes that would fulfill the look I desired. I love the lashes and I no longer need to wear eyeliner or mascara. This saves me 5 minutes every morning! Best of all, I have a set of long and full lashes that look natural. read more

So I called Sarah asking about lash extensions, I have wanted them for over a year but hesitated. Sarah was so informative and super sweet on the phone, told me all the products she uses and the techniques. As a plus, she fit me in that afternoon. First impressions are always important to me, and the second I met Sarah I was super comfortable. Such a wonderful lady. My lashes took over 3 hours, and should have taken just over 2, but Sarah and I just chatted and laughed the entire time. She made the time go by so fast and easy. Now about my lashes... AMAZING!!! I'm officially hooked as a lashanista (haha), and I will not go to anyone but Sarah at Hoku Hale!! read more
