I came here to get my eyebrows done. My brows are naturally really light and sparse, i usually have…read moreto color them in but I'm really not a fan of using too much makeup. I inquired about a consultation for permanent makeup - nano feather brows (more natural strokes compared to microblading) and the lady who answered the phone actually scheduled me for the Waikīkī location without telling me (originally I wanted Kapolei)...I show up to the Kapolei location day of my consultation and the place is closed. So I called the town location and the owner Hideko answered - I explained to her the situation and she apologized and said that she'd come to Kapolei that week and do the consultation herself. The day of my consultation I called a couple hours before and asked if she'd be able to do the actual service and they were able to accommodate me and said yes! This Kapolei location is nearby Ho'okele elementary and it's a small little shop with one bed in the center. It's very clean and relaxing. Hideko answered all of my questions and concerns. She drew out how my brows would look like and asked if I'd like to proceed. The process itself felt like tiny scratches on my brows not too sore. From consultation to finish it took about 2 hours 45 minutes. Hideko really connects with her clients, gets to know them and takes her time putting in quality work. The price I paid was $800 without tax or tip but I'm very happy with how it came out and I don't regret it at all. A follow-up/touch-up appointment is included in the price you pay if you'd like to add more detail or anything. Thank you so much Hideko and definitely would come back again!

Went to this newly opened salon having a soft opening this month, May 2018. Please call Hideko for…read morean appointment at (808)722-0835. I had my first appointment close to a month ago to have my brows done at their Century Center location. Now that a second one opened closer to home I scheduled my re-touch at the Kapolei location. It is in close vicinity of Ashley Furniture just off Kapolei Parkway close to a school and in a residential area. You will need to find street parking so be on the lookout for the Island Beauty sandwich board fronting the salon. Upon entering it felt like walking into the chicest spa with beautiful music, white fur chairs, white treatment tables and romantic wallpaper set off by a stunningly chandelier. Hideko checked on how my brows turned out after the first session, then marked points and measured to make sure both brows were aligned. This time she was going to microblade my brows after the numbing gel was applied. She cautioned me that I would feel more this time...so true as I felt my left hand grasping onto the table and what seemed like I penetrated the tissue paper lining. She asked if I was okay, applied more numbing gel. I had asked about the microblade tool which she showed me was new and in a sterile wrapper. It was so tiny like a pen but consisted of 17 needle like protrusions but I'd need a magnifying glass to really see. When the procedure was done she nodded approval and smiled and I was very pleased at the outcome. Hideko really is a master at her craft, I felt very confident being worked on by her. Thankyou and see you again Hid

If I can give sissy a 1000 stars I would! She's very kind hearted and overall an amazing person…read more You can see how much passion she has in what she does and for her to be able to share her knowledge with others is awesome! I recently took her course 1 day work shop and beginners course. She explains how a typical appointment would be like from the time the client walks in until they walk out the door. She went in depth about the anatomy of the skin, technique, color theory, different needles and depth, and different pressures, different ways of shading/outlining, how to take before & after and the entire process of mapping etc) Coming from someone who has no experience with a machine, never had any background in beauty, I walked out the first class feeling confident in myself that it is possible for me to do this. Before I left she had me practice on latex which I gave her a full set of eyebrows which surprised myself and sissy. Shortly after I left I practiced and practiced day in and day out & let me tell you my first sheet of latex was not that great (but as expected as someone who has no experience) I texted sissy a photo and asked for her advice and within minutes she's replies with tips for me on how to better my work. It was too saturated, you can tell my pressure in some areas was heavy & the pixels was not there. After following her tips, the next set I did was much better than before. Moral of the story for this is that there is infinite support with sissy. She wants to see every student succeed in this industry. I had a demo day we're sissy shows me exactly what goes on. I'm a visual learner, so seeing how it's done from start to finish really put things in perspective of what to expect during an appointment. 7/16/21 I had my model day and I was beyond nervous, but she calmed me down and was encouraging me that I can do this and I believed her. I felt at ease knowing she was there supervising me. I'm gonna post photos of my two models below and this will show you that will the right instructor and the amount of time you put in yourself to get better every day, this is the outcome! Sissy is a great mentor and I am so happy I went with her. She believes in you as a person and upcoming artist even when you don't. Please head over to pretty in ink on IG and either text or dm her if you would like to be a client of hers or do training with her!!! She does much more than just powder ombré brows!!!

It was very clean, I felt extremely comfortable in her class even though right now we're dealing with Covid-19 restrictions.

Long story short: I previously went to another establishment a few years ago who did my brows, I wasn't 100% happy with the results so I let it fade. Mary is fun, kind, and knows what she is doing!! She mapped my brows beautifully and I can genuinely say I am so happy with the results! The whole process was completely pain free! If you are a gal who is not blessed in the eyebrow department... Mary is your girl!! 10000/10!

#25 for 2021 Express…read moremy deepest gratitude to Mary! Happy to say I'm the first alumna to make a surprise visit and get permanent ombré brows professionally done by the talented Mary Phan. When I finally saw her in-person, she told me, "How come you didn't tell me it was you?" I told her, "I wanted it to be a surprise because I wasn't sure if she would remember me back from middle school." Anyhow, she did. Initially had to wait a few months prior to my first appointment in October 2015. Still the same Mary who is easy to chat with and forthright. Best $$$ invested in brows from my honest and objective perspective. Saved tons of money and time getting ready for work and going out. Eyebrow routine was trim hair sticking out, brush hair up if necessary, and done. Made a huge difference and positive impact while interacting with various clients. My Yelp profile pictures are proof of Mary's work. My brows went from looking sad to happy. I didn't tell anyone except my husband and wanted to be low key. Received compliments from complete strangers, former clients, colleagues, and friends. Even my mom's sister or aunt noticed too. Also referred two former colleagues and they're happy with eyebrows outcome. I have very sensitive skin and happy that ink worked well. Touch felt like a light brush moving slowly across the skin. Follow directions and soak in everything that Mary advises before, during and post care. Fully worth the wait! I'm very elated I saved my virgin brows just for you, Mary!

Rather than acknowledging the issue or offering a reasonable resolution, the owner, Hideko, insisted on the higher price even after I provided screenshots of the advertised pricing.

What was most disappointing was not just the pricing discrepancy, but the lack of accountability and customer service when the issue was raised.

After looking at many ads, sites, and word of mouth, I chose to go to Yuriko of Summer Eyes…read more I've been going to Yuriko since 2022 for initial and maintenance eyebrow and eyeliner procedures. I chose Yuriko and would not go to anyone else because: Artistry 1. She is an artist. Her work shown in photos is even, smooth, enhancing, and natural. Her color choices are good. I'm cautious about anything permanent, I trust her. I get compliments on my brows and eyeliner. So far, 5 people have asked me for her contact info. 2. She individualizes each person's procedure and listens to what end effect is desired. She noticed that I raise my eyebrows a lot in conversation, so adjusted my eyebrow design to work with it (so I wouldn't look shocked/crazy). 3. I'm not a stunner, but Yuriko has helped my face look like a put together version - AND I don't have to do my brows or eyeliner daily. Experience 1. Yuriko has years of experience and training from both Japan and the US. 2. She continues to keep up with industry standards and products. She goes out of state for training, product shows. Professionalism 1. Yuriko measures, consults w you, explains, and we agree on what's going to be done before she starts. 2. She's warm and approachable. e.g., I am comfortable telling her I need more numbing cream during the process. 3. She provides pre-and post-instructions before the procedure. 4. Her prices are reasonable. Facilities 1. Free parking 2. Clean and cozy 3. Nearby bathroom available I'm glad I found Yuriko. She is sweet, caring, artistic, and approachable.

I went to summer eyes last month and seen Lily to get my lips done. She said she could do the job…read moreand she did an assessment and I was able to schedule. When that day came around Lily numbed my lips and started. Everything was fine until she started talking about her personal life. It honestly started to get very annoying and awkward because she also talked about these old men that she was seeing and doing more with. I was disgusted wanting to walk out but couldn't. Also my lips has developed a severe reaction where it tingles and it keeps drying up. I'm awaiting on a test where they had to punch my lip to get skin. They say it may have been from filth which the place is cute but there's garbage, cotton tips everywhere! I'm now worried if the needle was clean! Save yourself and go somewhere else that's safe! It's not worth it especially when I paid in full. The vibe was okay at first but seriously too much information to a complete stranger! I'm glad I didn't pay to get my lashes done!

I'd dread the task and would even stay at home because I was too lazy to do it. I don't recall how but I found Hawaii Beauty Studio online. I contacted them with the request, "Help me get brows!" and Candice immediately responded - it was within the hour! She said "no problem, we can do all types of tattooing" and I proceeded to book a consultation. I've never heard of a studio doing consults to make sure you're choosing the right procedure so I really appreciated this. When I met with Candice, not only was she really sweet and personable but very knowledgeable, as well. She recommended the Suji eyebrows for $495. That was another shock - the price! I've had friends pay upwards of $700 for their brows but the Suji technique was only $495. I immediately booked my appointment. Candice kept in touch with me up til the day of the appointment. I got there and she explained the procedure and we began. She put in a lot of time and effort to drawing the perfect shape and matching color and I trusted her 1,099%! Candice was very meticulous and such a perfectionist, which I completely appreciated. She numbed my brows and then the tattooing began. It was painless (I wish I had been numbed for all 35 of my tattoos lol). And quick! 45 minutes later, I got up and I had a set of beautiful and amazing brows...for the first time in 15 years! I couldn't believe it. All throughout the procedure, Candice would check on me to make sure I was still numb or that I liked what she was doing. I got exactly what I wanted and so much more! The difference Candice's brows have made to my face is phenomenal! And it's cut down getting ready each morning. Candice is very personable, friendly, understanding, caring, and overall, a real professional! She even stayed in touch with me post-tattoo to make sure everything was okay. I love my brows. And I love Hawaii Beauty Studio. I would recommend Candice hands down to anyone - price, quality, vibe, overall feel was/IS excellent. I'm totally looking forward to my next procedure - stained lips in a few months. I know Candice will do another GREAT, SUPERB job. If you're looking for a touch up, a complete new look, or you just want normal brows like everyone else... whatever it is you want, Candice and Hawaii Beauty Studio is the only place to go! Thank you, Candice! ありがとう! 감사합니다!

I was always hesitant of PMU because I didn't want anything too dark or harsh and it's a tattoo so it's not easy to fix. I took a long time researching and looking at so many different artists and their work. I wanted someone experienced with a great portfolio. I finally decided on Makoto because she has 15 years of experience and her hair strokes are very natural looking. She is also the owner of Suzukoo and teaches PMU classes. I am so impressed with my results! She fixed my thin, uneven eyebrows. I already love how it looks and I can't wait to see the fully healed results and get my touch up in November. This would be my first tattoo so I was not sure how it would feel. To me, it was painless! It felt like a toothpick drawing on my skin. After the first pass, she puts numbing gel. Almost fell asleep. The studio was very nice and clean. They are located in Century Center on the 4th floor and they will assign you a parking spot. She also gave me candies from Japan when I left :) Check out their IG to see their work!
