The products that they sell. I researched them on an app that rates the quality of products.

The facial was fantastic. The woman who did it was amazing. 10/10. But the rest was a zero stars experience!!!!! Upon arriving I was told to get a face scan. Then a "Dr" with a bloated face tried to pressure sell me a face care system, and a red light therapy device. It's a total scam. I looked up the products that they are selling and they are absolute trash. The "Dr" was so rude to me and tried to shame me and tell me that I'm gonna look terrible in 20 years. To be really honest, I couldn't even enjoy my massage because I was so stressed out about the pressure sales. Use an app like Yuka that scans products for the toxins. They were all low ranked. The best ranked one is 58/100. That's not a passing grade. On the real when I booked the facial the conformation text they sent was wrong and I should have known then. Steer clear of the predators.

Halo was great at massaging and cleaning my face. I had the red light therapy. I noticed an immediate improvement. Next time I'm in town I'll be back. Highly recommended it and ask for Halo.

Sunday is Venus day for me ! What a beautiful Sunday it was ! I got an amazing facial from Halo, the esthetician. I feel heavenly bliss! If you are looking for a facial, check it out over there. So relaxing. The products are organic and safe. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Parking is convenient. They even have the most relaxing massage chair while you wait. We all need to take care of ourselves - it's called self love and self care. I'll definitely be back. Thank you Kao Spa and thank you Halo !

The sweet Angel Halo just gave the most amazing facial. I took their promo and it was worth every penny. I saw immediate results and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend taking advantage of this LED facial experience.

Sorry, don't mind the picture. I just want to say thank you, Maria, for the awesome and relaxing facial. And this massage chair was also soothing and relaxing too. Come and give yourself at least half an hour or longer after your facial to enjoy the massage chair.

Parking is not tricky, and is so easy to do in the Ala Moana parking lot and then walk over to the…read morebuilding. It's a busy building in the morning, so give yourself some time to make it to the elevators and head up to the 14th floor where you walk into a serene world immediately. The sight, smell, and sound of the spa immediately draws you in. After settling in, I had the most amazing Salt Facial at Honolulu Spa & Wellness with the owner. I do not get facials regularly because I tend to leave the salon with sensitive skin that's all blotchy and red from the chemicals that were used. But getting a Salt Facial is so much different! No chemicals were used and the results were amazing. The salt used is a natural antibacterial and antimicrobial agent so my skin was not irritated one bit in the process. I learned this is one of the few places offering this service, so definitely take advantage of them having this service. The procedure started by cleansing my face and neck first. Then the Salt Facial followed with her using a wand that used all natural sea salt resurfacing to prep my skin for the next stages. I thought it was going to hurt for some reason , but it didn't at all and just felt like a deep exfoliation. I then had an aesthetic ultrasound to nourish and increase circulation of my skin, which helped whatever she used to get deeper into my skin. The next step was where I could really feel the treatment doing its job, and that was the LED light therapy! I did that for a couple of minutes and could feel my skin getting its natural glow back. The last part of my experience here was a hydrating face mask that I didn't even know I needed. The whole process felt so fast but gave such great results. My skin feels brighter and tighter, especially around my under-eye and cheeks where I felt like my skin was sagging a bit. I could just feel my skin was softer and had reduced the bumpiness in some areas that were affected by acne in the past. All in all a great experience and a facial I recommend to anyone that wants a natural approach to getting one. I am sensitive to chemicals and often left waiting for results after a couple of days, but with the Salt Facial results were immediate. Try it for yourself and thank me later that you did!

The HydraFacial was a superb birthday gift! Thanking my Sweetie for this pampering which was gentle…read moreskin care that felt really good. 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 :)

This was a 10/10 amazing experience that completely melted my stress away!…read more Parking is right in front, very easy but keep in mind that the lot is quite small and there aren't a lot of options elsewhere since it's located right on King St. When I was waiting I heard other people say that they were having trouble parking so something to keep in mind. I picked the 60 minute experience and it was everything I wanted and more. It was soooo relaxing. They have Japanese hair products that they wash your hair with and give you a neck/shoulder massage as well while you're lying in a massage chair for true head to toe relaxation. Tara took amazing care of me, she was great and so so kind. If you're anything like me and like to prepare in advance, you don't need to fully remove your clothes but they do recommend you take the top portion off and use this tube-top thing they provide you with so they can massage your shoulder area. Small earrings are also fine to keep on but I believe you do need to remove any necklaces you have. I would 100% recommend this to anybody seeking a relaxing experience. You walk away with clean, refreshed hair too!

Pros - Nakaia did an amazing job! And I'm uber happy I splurged on the additional extended treatment. I definitely felt relieved to rid my body of the built up 'tech' strain in my neck, shoulder, chest, and arms. Worth every penny! - Secure lockers to store your belongings are located at the entrance. - They give you a blanket to keep cozy during the treatment. Bonus! Unfortunately, the blanket's just big enough to cover your stomach and legs. If you easily get chilly, suggest bringing/wearing socks, and maybe even bringing your own blanket to ensure your chest and feet stay warm too. Cons - Parking lot can fill up quickly as they share with Baskin Robbins, Fantastic Sam's, Mana Musubi, i-naba, and Boba House. - The spa is one big open area. The only privacy is created with thin curtains to separate each of the chairs, when in use. Which means you can hear everything, and everything can hear you. (During this visit, I could hear a fairly loud lady, and her teenage daughter and friend carry on like they were the ONLY people in the whole place. Rude!) - your face, shoulders, and chest will get wet. Not really a con, in my book. And you shouldn't be surprised either. You are getting a Japanese style scalp massage after all. Overall I had a relaxing experience. I would definitely get the same treatment with the extended time again. ‍‍‍

IT DID! when i went back in may (so 3 months in between) and did another face scan, there was a noticeable difference! i think it actually got much better by april, from a dark brown to like a beige (i'm fair skinned hapa). i just had to be PATIENT, religiously wear SPF and reapply every 2 hours (use a stick which is much easier on the go), and be CONSISTENT with skincare (i added vitamin C along with azelaic acid in mornings and tret at night). it's def not a quick fix, it's a long haul and it's totally up to you to take care of it post op so i'd like to think results may vary and so far mines going well! skin stamp - apparently this tx is suppose to be the most painful but i didn't feel a thing?! i got a massage, electro wand, facial, numbing for 30min and went to town with the stamping but i felt nothing! chloe (?) was very surprised and said i must have a high pain tolerance which i dont agree with, im a baby with pain haha. another ice wand and then i left with a collagen mask that she told me to try and keep on for several hours and then moisturize before bed. i literally just got this done today so hopefully i see some good results! all in all, i really enjoy the lab and look forward to every monthly (my choice) tx. i'm very happy with my results and i have rec several friends to try it out. best part is that it's in my neighborhood ho'opili, so convenient, no need drive to town!

Located in a residential area, google map made it fairly easy to find this place. When I arrived, I entered through a door and read the signs, putting my footwear on a shelf and used their house slippers. I walked up the stairs and there was a nice lady who provided guidance on what to do and where to go. I would have to say I was disappointed in my consultation. Although nice, the lady spent less than five minutes going over the consultation and didn't really explain anything other than to let me know to use sunscreen, take vitamin C and collagen and suggested anti aging addition to my facial (which I got) and pico laser if I come back (wasn't explained why). When I mentioned I made a last minute appointment she made a comment "oh you're the one." It kind of put me off a bit. I have to say though the facial was divine. I've had many facials in the past and it's been a while. My face was in dire need. The facial was so heavenly and my face felt soft, moisturized and clean and lasted for days. The massage was divine and left the place in a daze from being so relaxed. There is room sharing with another customer but she left shortly after I started. The ladies are very nice, the place is very clean. I will most likely come again, and hopefully get a more detailed consultation.

I noticed the skin tags on my face as I age and spend too much time in the sun, and she helped zap those off efficiently. Maggie is unlike any place where you can get a facial. She uses all the latest products and has years of experience. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my face if I didn't know they had the expertise to do it properly. The HydraFacial is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one seamless session using advanced technology. Unlike most facials, it infuses potent serums tailored to your skin's specific needs, resulting in immediate and noticeable improvements without downtime. In a world where so many people are offering facials nowadays, I did the homework for you; if you're looking for someone to take care of your skin truly, Maggie is one of the best in town. She focuses on keeping your face looking its best and isn't your typical facialist or aesthetician who does everything under the sun. She doesn't do Botox, eyebrow tattooing, or eyelash extensions--which women often do--but instead aims to concentrate on the aesthetics of pure skin, which is clear with her results. My friends all notice that if I don't go to her, she has helped me significantly with my acne scars. You get what you pay for because you're paying for quality care. Thank you, Maggie, for always taking such excellent care of my skin! If you're looking for a great way to pamper yourself and give your skin the love it deserves, I highly recommend trying the HydraFacial Syndeo with Maggie. It's a game changer! Just be sure to book ahead because she's in high demand!
