Thank you to Julia from the Mahina store in Kailua for reaching out and making things right. I…read moretruly appreciate your understanding and willingness to help resolve this. As someone who also works in hospitality, I know how much it means when someone takes the time to personally reach out and assist. It goes a long way, and I really value that level of care. As a customer, I'll also be more mindful of any posted signage regarding return policies moving forward. Thank you again, Julia. I sincerely appreciate you.

They sell cute clothing and jewelry. This is one store that I would definitely purchase from. The…read moreclothes in this store all seem to be neutral tones, just my style. I love to wear beiges, white and cream color clothing. I saw this top that I wanted to get. It was white with green flowers on it. It was so nice. It was $54, so not that bad. They also have good sales. They have a 20% off sale rack near the door. Most of the women coming in the store stopped by the rack to take a look.

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.

The shopkeeper was so kind and welcoming, and even if you're not in the mood to splurge, it's worth browsing because everything is so beautifully displayed. The prices are definitely steep, but the quality is definitely there. Great for gifts, a little treat-yourself moment, or just inspiration.

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.

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.

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.

The dress is a size SMALL and looks like I was wearing an XXLG. It looked ridiculous. I called to ask if I could exchange for an XS and was told NO. Please note that this dress will be sitting in my DO NOT WEAR pile and I am sad to state that I will not ever purchase anything from your store. Yes I understand ALL SALES FINAL, I want the dress but just a smaller size. How difficult can this request be?

I finally used my gift card (which was set to expire in Dec 2025), at their Punahou store. After…read morevisiting the Punahou and Kailua store throughout the year, I finally found two tops that I immediately fell in love with. The staff were friendly and helpful and the store was clean. Seemed like they had several sizes available in all their merchandise which is great. Their dressing rooms are spaced nicely and they have several. They have ample parking spaces out in front of the store.

Manuheali'i has for a long time been the go to location for myself and my colleagues, in fact, our…read morecoaching staff went with matching Manuhealii prints for almost a decade. For me, the two main reasons to buy Manuheali'i. First, their clothes is often made with a thinner material which is both comfortable and practical, especially during the summer. Business attire or dining out looks better when you're not sweating in your thick cotton aloha shirt. Second, their prices used to be just a tad lower than a lot of the other high end Hawaiian fashion designers. But that seems to be changing. It's going to be more difficult for Hawaiians to wear Hawaiian wear if the prices continue to increase but if you're looking for something professional, fancy, and comfortable, this is probably one of the best brands to go with.

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.

Yelp peeps where are you!?!…read more I just can't believe that there's only a couple of reviews on this place that's been here for a couple of years omg! I guess it's been awhile since I've visited this strip in Kailua as the farmers market has relocated and work has me exhausted to a point of staying close to home. This is the second location for Sugar Sugar Hawaii and it's just as cute and cozy shop filled with all things girl power would love. There was a lot to love that I made a couple of purchase I can't say as they're gifts but know that it will go to great homes. Every item here screams with personalities that I love from beautiful jewelry, fun shirts and clothing to accessories and decor that has me falling in love.
