I'm being a little generous with the three stars because I've been a longtime customer of Mahina…read moreand have shopped at several of their locations around the island. I normally love the brand and have always enjoyed shopping there. That being said, I was disappointed with the customer service during this past Saturdays visit. I've worked in customer service for almost 20 years, and one of the most basic expectations is simply acknowledging a customer when they walk in whether that's a quick greeting, asking if they need help, or letting them know you're available if they need anything. I was the only customer in the store for more than five minutes, and two employees saw me come in but neither greeted me or approached me the entire time. I don't expect anyone to hover while I shop, but a simple "Hi, welcome in" goes a long way and is just basic customer service. I did end up purchasing something because it was on sale and, like I said, I genuinely like Mahina. I just hope management reminds the sales associates how important it is to acknowledge and welcome customers who take the time to come into the store. A small gesture can make a big difference in the overall shopping experience.

Favorite boutique on the island! The clothing is on trend without being trendy so you can purchase…read moreknowing it won't go out of season. They have so many beautiful items, I want them all! Last time I stopped by, I was on my way to the beach so didn't have the appropriate under garments to determine the fit. The woman working there put the three items aside and I came back at the end of the day, showered with the right garments on, and when I tried on the dresses, I had to buy all three! Two of them are made of gauze with spaghetti straps. They have a billowy flow so I went with the small/medium, and I'm typically a l/xl, bit the fit was perfect. Bought it in both black and navy. In the warm months, I live in them! Perfect when running errands, as a cover up to the beach, hanging around my house - I just throw it on and I'm presentable and ready to go! The other dress was a very fitted black maxi with thin straps and silver stud buttons from the chest to the hem, giving this simple black dress a modern, edgy feel. It's so beautiful and one of my absolute favorite dresses. I wasn't sure if I could carry it off but the woman working there, who always gives honest critiques, said it worked. I have to say she was right because whenever I wear it, I feel so confident and that is really what fashion is about. Love that the owner buys clothes that work for all women - of any age and body shape. Thank you! In addition to clothing, Olive has accessories like hats, handbags, sandals, scarves and jewelry to complete your outfit. I'm still mad at myself for passing on a black crochet hobo bag! Lesson learned, if you love it, buy it! Jewelry here is affordable so I always buy a beaded or wrap bracelet to add to my collection. Or a long pendant necklace or dangly earrings. They carry a large selection of moisturizers, body lotions, soaps, bath salts and all the items that make you feel soft and smell good! If you need gifts or classy tokens from Hawaii, they have Aloha key chains, wall art with beach sayings, candles, books, cards, throws, a Turkish beach towels and so much more! The store is bright and spacious so even though there is a variety of items, there is plenty of room to walk around and take it all in. Definitely make a point to visit Olive Boutique for a wonderful shopping experience.

I have been a couple times. So many cute things from home decor to clothing. Recently bought this…read morecute crop top at half off which was a steal. Otherwise this place is expensive but quality of items are top notch. I always say to splurge on good quality versus spend more on cheaper things to only have to replace them more often. I will say the last time I came into the store, it was quite annoying that a dog was barking quite a bit and then a comment from another customer or friend of the owner not sure. But I definitely ignored the rude remark. I just wanted to do my shopping in peace.

Great styles for all. The customer service is great and the ladies are helpful. More stock please.read more

Shopping in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Lexbreezy had a super long line of customers at the Made In Hawaii Festival a few months ago. I've seen the Instagram posts of their clothing, but never had a chance to look upclose at the styles and fabrics. We were going to lunch in Kailua - next door at the new Oh My Grill - and noticed that Lexbreezy is right here! Wow! With free parking, it's so easy to stop by after a meal. Unfortunately, we took too long to eat and Lexbreezy was closed. I drove back to Kailua and got a chance to look around the cute shop! I liked the prints, but didn't care for the styles. For example, rompers are too inconvenient for me to wear. I'll stop by in a few months and check the merchandise. Maybe new items will come out for the holidays... I noticed a dressing room - it will come in handy since there might not be any returns/exchanges accepted.

Do you dream of having a vacation cottage with a beachy Hawaiian theme with a touch vintage…read moreflare...well Muse Kailua has that in the tiniest shop in Kailua. As a shell lover there was so much here that I loved that I've never seen anywhere else. Everything from clothing to jewelry, accessories, cards, trinkets and the cutest decor. I fell in love with a whale plate but went with a cup which can double as a bowl that I plan to use as a gift for a whale lover...gosh it's so cute!!! I absolutely love finding this somewhat hidden gem that's filled with so much selective treasures with the loveliest staff so patient and kind to compliment every choice you make. Support local, support small and follow them on Instagram @muse_kailua and their online shop https://www.musekailua.com and see the calm this Kailua boutique has to offer. Thank you!

I have many dream homes. My first dream home is a 3-story haunted Victorian Mansion with a large…read morewrap-around porch and wrought-iron fence outside. It would also have a large forest in the back with a small babbling stream running through it. The atmosphere would be a dark, dreary, foggy and rainy place. If you think I'm kidding, I am not. My second dream home would be another 3-story non-haunted Victorian Mansion with an airy porch with flowers all over the place, and the interior would be decorated with stuff from this store: Muse Kailua. I know non-haunted Victorian Mansions do not appear very oceany but who cares! I love the stuff in here and you could probably incorporate a lot of their stuff with your current decor. My current decor is shabby messiness with a hodge-podge of clutter, mess, papers strewn about, Halloween decorations out all-year-long, paper receipts piling up in boxes, dried hibiscus seed pods cluttering up the counter and a pile of (fake) skeletons on the living room floor. No, again I am not kidding. Aside from this foolish decor in my house, the stuff in here is the stuff I dream about: a clean, uncluttered home, airy windows with white billowy curtains, home smelling like fresh lemons and decor from Muse Kaiula: seashells, floral plates, tropical oceany goodness, whimsical lovely items and dream-like girlyness. If you are into Victorian, girliness, girly girl, mermaids, ocean, tropical, and ooh-la-la this is your place, and you're in luck if you're on the mainland because now they have their online store open!! Return factor: OF COURSE are you kidding??? Coz I'm not.

She made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed and loved my experience with her. She constantly checked on me and offered pieces I didn't think I would like. She really exemplified awesome customer service. She and the other gal working were very nice. I was very happy with my experience and also that I was able to find items that I liked and fit well. I was excitedn to find a few things to purchase. They do have a good selection of merchandise as well. Some items are a little pricey but I found that they are worth the quality. I would definitely return to this location. Fighting Eel has the best employees!

Daughter & I decided we'd spend the day in Kailua and support the local stores. We came upon Sugar…read moreSugar in Kailua and enjoyed our shopping experience very much. Adrienne had just opened the shop for about 30 minutes and we happened to walk in and were the only customers at that time. Adrienne was very happy to help us as she offered her assistance before we even asked for help. We looked around at all their clothing, jewelry, magnets, coasters, puzzles, hair clips, games, and so much more. We already shop at the Kahala, Pearlridge & Ala Moana stores so we're well aware of their merch. Daughter & I grabbed a bunch of clothes to try on as they have these little private makeshift dressing rooms available. The store is so inviting as they have so many cute and colorful merch to select from. Even if you're not there for the clothes, they have a bunch of trinkets and cards that you'll find something to your liking to purchase. The prices are fairly reasonable for what they have. There were these cute hair clips with floral designs on a wood base attached to the plastic hair clips that was really cute. It sold for $22. It'll make a nice gift for almost any gal with long hair. There's street parking in front but I'm sure you can park in the big parking structure or huge lot across the street. We did and we didn't have any problems on our return. Adrienne was so upbeat, friendly and nice that she makes you want to be her friend for life. We'll be back to support local and dive into their new merch that they pretty much bring out often.

I don't know how to rate this place because I haven't been able to get in to check it out. On their…read morewebsite it says they're open daily at 10am. Right after church, we drove from town to Kailua specifically for this shop. Our daughter wants a gold bangle bracelet with shells. Saw that there's a Black Friday sale still on so we took the drive over the Pali to check it out! Got there, there's writing on the door that they'll open at 11. By 11am, still no one there. So we decided to go next door to SoHo Keiki. There's plenty of employees who were willing to help and we found what we were looking for. Discount wasn't as good, but hey, they were open and had what we were looking for. I understand it can be harsh giving 1 star to a pace I haven't been inside in, but we drove all the way over here specifically for this place. If they were going to be closed, it would've been acceptable if there was a sign that said it.

I'm so salty for the beach…read more.. This shop gets me into the beach vibe mode as they're just so much bright and vibrant items here to literally get you beach ready from head to toes. Located in Kailua Shopping Center this newbie is a fun place to get that and so more like a water bottle with their shop name, a tote that's says Vacay is my kinda vibe and the cites shell prints on a tee and swim wear really got me smiling, I just love the selections they have here. My only deal is the ladies who could care less as I certainly don't fit into that thong or shopper they probably are targeting for as there was zero peep from them no hi or hello through my browsing experience and I was interested in a few items but have decided not to sadly as it was all lovely and reasonably priced. Left feeing a bit salty and it's not from the beach.
