I remember this business doing HEAVY advertising on facebook marketplace when covid started. I…read morethought to myself "any business that was JUST OPENED during this crazy time has got to be the craziest, (can I say) ballsiest move I've ever seen; that's just asking for failure right?" I figured, there's nothing wrong with checking it out since my husband and I are always looking to add to our collection of self-defense items. Ever since my husband and I made our first visit in 2020, we have been consistent customers because, yes the products, but take some time to talk to Sal and you'll realize the business is run by an honest, educated owner who knows what he's doing in this niche industry. He's also been endorsed by many people in the industry for doing what he does, just look at the patches he has displayed on his case. Just recently, Hawaii has legalized a lot of open-carry laws so business for this place exponentially picked up; well-deserved in my opinion. You'll want to stop by as soon as possible if you're looking for a certain product so you can get your hands on it or get your name on the will-call list. Or check in with Sal or his other workers when the next shipment comes in and drop by ASAP to catch the drop and have the most options available. Let me tell you, we were ready for when his next shipment of a certain product would come in. Sal said Saturday, but they came in two days earlier. By the time Saturday rolled around, SOLD OUT. My suggestion: follow them on instagram/facebook and track as best as you can because you do not want to wait till the weekend. Overall, great business, great owner, great workers, great prices, great environment.

They have all types of knives of many designs, especially in my favorite color purple, shirts and other items that are interesting to look at or buy. I also bought a pepper spray for a reasonable price that has a flip cover so it doesn't accidentally spray to keep in my purse in the event I need to use it since there has been an influx of violent crazies that may attack around chinatown and downtown. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of parking since it is in the windward city, in the middle walkway next to Ross and across from McDonalds.

Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!

This is a pop-up store on the ground level of Windward Mall, right next to Starbucks, and across the hallway from Big City Diner. It opened July of 2024 and will close in December 2024. All of our favorite characters are here: Hello Kitty, Cooky, Kuromi, Pochacco, etc. There are even pandas and seasonal Halloween items! We also saw Kissy merchandise and gift bags that are ready for gift-giving... not to mention plushies, key chains, stationary, jewelry, tote bags, etc. Service was helpful and efficient! The clerk said that they do craft fairs and other events, so be on the lookout! I'll have to return and bring my Christmas list! So many cute things!!!

I just happen to come across these lovelies on my way to another shop then the overwhelming kawaiiness overtook all reasoning to explore this shop that's filled with various gift sets and craft items at such great prices. Located yes in Windward Mall on the ground floor next to Starbucks you just can't miss it as the uniqueness is quite obvious how they displayed it all is very well thought out and as items starting to add up in my hands (which didn't take me very long) I need to leave lol! Items from Kissy has always been a personal favorite just love to see everyone's hard work displayed here at a store proudly for us to enjoy and shop. The staff packed my items in a super cute reusable red fabric crafted bag it's a place not to be missed for something that we all could use not found anywhere else. Thank you!
