I've been curious about patronizing Kailua Crystals on Hekili Street for awhile even as they've…read morebeen there for awhile. I am a skeptic first but open to possibilities; whether that is belief in god(s) or goddess, or belief in alternative healing/medicine. I've experienced enough events to know that scientific knowledge is always in a state of flux and that the irrational is not to be dismissed. I asked several question as I am in my fourth week of recovery from a ( small ) fracture in my ankle and slight tearing of ligaments from a slip on wet tile. The employee was gracious enough to answer my questions and recommend two types of crystals that may aid my recovery. I chose a Lapis Lazuli bracelet. I joked, if I could wear it on my ankle and that a placebo effect would be sufficient for me. She kept a serious demeanor - she clearly believes in what she is selling. I will update in a few weeks. I have a third orthopedics appointment at the end of January.

This is my favorite local crystal store! I buy almost all of my crystals here, and I've also taken…read moretwo of their classes. I absolutely love their products, and their classes are fantastic. Their crystals are reasonably priced. The energy in the store is always welcoming, and I've learned so much from the experiences they offer. I do wish they offered more metaphysical courses from some of the same teachers--those classes have been so valuable to me. Some of the class times don't work with my work schedule, so it's disappointing to miss out on them, but I still highly recommend this store for all your crystal and metaphysical needs. They've definitely become my go-to place!

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.

My friend introduced me to this store because he got me into collecting a few pretty knives with…read moredifferent designs. 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.

With a lot of turmoil going on with my life and I've been getting into crystal healing lately, I…read morebought crystals from another store and really liked the healing benefits it gives me. That crystal store I went to had bracelets but it was already premade which I felt in my soul that it wasn't for me. Im looking for something that caters to my energy so I can wear a bracelet that gives me that sense of relief when I go about my everyday life. I happen to stumble upon Honulea Hawaii on Yelp and was reading their reviews and also on their website. When entering their website, it will be in Japanese so select the English translation. There is also a 5% off for your first purchase when you sign up for their email newsletter so take advantage of that while its still there because I forgot to do that since I was too excited and focused to get my bracelet haha. In their options, there are 4 types of bracelets you can choose from Hoō la breath, Mauli Ola Breath, Lono breath, and Premium Lono Breath (Prices are listed on their website). Just giving you a heads up, Hoō la breath is the only bracelet that is premade and can't be customized according to the website you can only choose from 5 different premade options. But I highly recommend to get the Mauli Ola Breath or the others since you're able to customize them according to your personal energy and situation. They go by appointment only so I recommend calling in rather than messaging because I tried to message them on their Linechat, I didnt get a response till 3 weeks later after my appointment haha. You can also check out their Instagram @honuleahawaii to see their other creations and family life. Appointment day comes, I go to the location and the door will be locked so call their number when you arrive. The owner (Mia) of the shop is located in the same room with her husband (Michael)'s violin store and they share the same store number so Michael will also take your phone calls. I was greeted warmly by Michael and he showed me where Mia is located in the store. Its a small closet like room with one small display of her creations and custom made bracelets, necklaces, pendants, and keychains that customers ordered. With using my 6th sense I could feel Mia's energy so bright and warm when entering the room, I can feel my soul is being hugged from her warmness. We sat down and did the 15 minutes counseling so she can feel out my energy and situation. When the session was done, I chose the Mauli Ola Breath bracelet option, the price maybe hefty but when you think about it, you are investing for your body and soul. For my bracelet she chose a Clear quartz, Labradorite, Amethyst, and Mother of pearl (search up their healing benefits) also added a cute turtle charm to complete the look. When I wore my bracelet, it gave me that sense of comfort and relief that I was looking for but not only has my mood swings changed but it also helped protect me from people who tried to take advantage of my kindness or give me emotional harm, and gave me life lessons that I need. Nowadays, if I leave my bracelet at home, it just feels like my energy will be thrown off for the whole day and feels weird to not be wearing it wherever I go. Thank you so much Mia for my customized Mauli Ola Breath bracelet! Been wearing it everyday for 9 months straight and been seeing different positive changes in my life! 5/5 recommend everyone to get one! Tip: Bracelet power stone care, leave it out in the sun for at least an hour or during the full moon every once a month to recharge its energy.

On a Tuesday I was hoping to purchase some stones but the store closer to home was closed... so my…read moreYelp search led me here. The reviews sounded great so I knew I couldn't go wrong. Finding the building was fine with the map directions. The parking seems to be assigned so the attendant helped direct me to a spot when I told him where I was headed. Within the building it was a bit confusing knowing if I was at the right spot only because there isn't any signage outside of the shop door. So basically, the shop you'll enter is a violin shop but you're in the right place! I called ahead to make an appointment so they were expecting me. I got a nice welcoming vibe right off the bat and was excited to see what would be created for me and my lifestyle needs. I have never purchased a bracelet before, so this was my first experience, period. I told her what was going on and why I was "searching". She definitely pinpontied what I needed to focus on and helped create a bracelet that would help keep me focused. Not only is it created for my particular needs, but it's very aesthetically pleasing! It can pretty much go with anything I wear and doesn't get in the way at all. I was surprised at the cost, but that's only because I don't normally purchase stones/beads. The quality is great and it is well worth the purchase! I feel like its been helping me focus and protecting me from being affected by outside energy. I'm definitely prepared for my next purchase and I won't have to be worried about the cost... it's really reasonable.

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.
