This store is perfect for shorter brides like me since their dresses are already hemmed. Toko and the rest of the staff were incredibly accommodating and responded quickly to emails. Thank you so much for the lovely dress and for making the experience so stress free! I would recommend to friends and family looking for a rental; they also have non-wedding dresses and menswear too.

The workers are very kind and accommodating. The dress was a reasonable price, pretty, in great condition and with accessories. I'm so glad I went with Lidia. I am petite and they cater mostly for Japanese people, so I'm not sure if they have larger sizes. Call or email them because their hours are limited. For the month of July, they were only open on Thursdays but they did respond to phone calls and emails. Location is in the Watamull building.

As long as I call ahead of time for any item I need they place it to the side so it will be there when I come to purchase the object.

I would recommend them highly for any snorkeling goods, bikes, and/or bike parts.

The older auntie who works here is rude. She came out and started moving things around as we were…read morelooking through shirts that were hanging up. Re-squaring and spacing the hangers and getting in the way while we were actively trying to look through the shirts for a family member who was visiting from the mainland. She acted like we were a bother when we were trying to look through the shirts. She even rudely asked do you even know where that is (Mākaha/Wai'anae/Ma'ili/Nanakuli)? We left without buying anything. Told her - Yes, auntie of course, we live right up the road. SMH - customer service fail. It's sad because uncle Derrick had a really nice place; my daughters used to get all their supplies here for surfing and bodyboarding, they did jr lifeguards every year, various meets, the Grom, etc. I also asked some friends about our recent experiences there and several of them said that they have had similar experiences there recently. She talks down to people and acts like customers are an inconvenience. I think this auntie is probably his family member since he doesn't seem to be able to correct her, it's at least the third or fourth time she's been rude and dismissive to us. This is the third strike. Who knows, maybe she just doesn't like the way we look!?! The last time we told uncle Derrick about the way she talked to us before we left, it doesn't seem to have made an impact. We probably won't be back again.

I booked a Bridal First-Look appointment online for 10:00 AM and brought one guest with me. We…read moreparked at the Whole Foods parking lot and walked across the street. We worked with Olivia, and she was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I thought I was looking for in a wedding dress. As we went through the appointment, she helped me refine my preferences and ultimately discover what I really wanted in my future wedding dress. I appreciated that she encouraged both my guest and me to pull dresses that caught our eye, while also selecting additional gowns based on what she was learning about my style. It felt very collaborative, personalized, and pressure-free. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the appointment. Another huge plus is that they offer dress rentals, which is a fantastic budget-friendly option for brides. 10/10 experience--highly recommend to any bride looking for a fun, comfortable, and supportive dress-shopping experience!

My experience with Masako Bridal was smooth sailing from first try on, thru fitting/alterations to…read moredress pick up. Olivia and Rachel helped me thru the process. It took total of 5 appointments and dress pick up. Initially I liked both Jenny Yoo Martina dress ( simple, elegant style) and then Lillian West dress ( Boho floral lace style) that Rachel brought out to try on last. But for 2nd try on appointment, Jenny Yoo dress I liked was sold before I could try it on again. Their summer sale event ( all dresses discontinued from their racks on sale, so they can make room for new dress inventory) was going to occur the following week. I knew at that moment that I needed to select Lillian West dress, as my other option since there was no other dress from racks I wanted to try on from inital appointment and this appointment. The style I liked was A line, v neck with nice dress train and not too gothic, over bling out. With that summer sale, they cannot hold inventory for customers as it first come, first served when the shop opens. I selected that Lillian west dress before it sells off the racks. Rachel honored, gave me the sale price $500 with tax. With the alterations too, cost for the dress was over $1600 with total price of just under $1,000 for both dress, dress bag and alterations together. What a steal compared to show" Say yes to the dress", all the dresses at Kleinfield cost way more and other dress shops on the island. With the fittings, seeing both the dress with wedding veil I bought from Etsy seller along with the pearl drop earrings from Amazon, image of me as bride was stunning and made me feel like I'm ready to say I do. Masako held onto the dress until day before my December wedding as I was nervous if my cats destroy my dress happiness. I got many compliments from friends, family and my husband's co-workers who thought that dress was beautiful along with make up, hair style I had done. Very glad I went with Masako and genuinely recommend to future and engaged gals to come here if you are budget friendly shopper as the managers will work with your budget and provide recommendations. Please make an appointment online as they are appointment only, no walk in are allowed. Parking is at Whole Foods parking lot and walk over. But if you are picking up dress or having it cleaned/preserved, you are allowed to park in their assigned stalls, that way you do not carry that heavy thing across the street.

Shopping in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Looking for a gown for a formal wedding, I entered Do's Formal. Located on the corner of King Street and Smith Street, I parked in a loading zone which is free after 4pm. Inside, the store is filled with many gowns and even tuxedos! The variety colors and styles is overwhelming. I saw the arrows on the ground which help customers because a person could get lost in there! Service was friendly in the beginning, but cooled off in the end when I didn't like the dress that was suggested to me. I went in the dressing room, but didn't need help with the zipper. I did pull the straps shorter for a better fit, but tailoring the dress would be too much. If you need a wedding gown, suit, or prom dress, take a look here! Some styles look like beauty pageant fashion!

Justin, his Mom, and staff are so helpful and friendly. They know their craft…read more We went in thinking that we wanted the standard black tux with accent colors. After learning a little backstory on tuxes and suits from Justin and realizing that we wanted the guys to really be POPPIN, we went from black tuxes to a champagne color tux for my groom and full maroon tuxes for the groomsmen. Absolutely no regrets. Photos and videos all look amazing with them. I truly appreciate Justin taking the time to educate and even push us to move away from the norm and do something more exciting which in the end really fit us best. I believe the price for tux rentals are pretty similar at most of the shops in Honolulu, and since we have no real need to keep tuxes it's a great price at $250 per. After meeting Justin, I can guarantee you we will be back again.

I unfortunately did not have the new bridal try on experience that every bride dreams of having…read more The man that welcomed us in to wait at the tuxedo side was very rude, he said multiple times how I was so very late coming in the beginning of August for a bridal dress when my wedding is the end of November. I did not get a single congratulation just forced into multiple dresses outside of my price range, told multiple times that I was much to late to be looking for a wedding dress for my wedding coming up in November and my bridal party felt like they couldn't give any feedback back about my dresses without getting backlash from the staff. I hope for future brides sake the company can provide a more supportive environment and be more warm and welcoming. I've been emailing back and forth with Vows and Bridal for months now and was not expecting to be treated with such disrespect in person.

I actually wanted corn…read more.. Though I had a very small tine frame and the tint shop was crowded so I headed back to my car only to have found Lucky Penny which had been on my "check" list as retail therapy can cost you quite a bit...well for me and with places like Lucky Penny to doesn't have to be that way with some of the items they carry. First of all I've read some of the reviews and understand that you need to place your personal belongings in the locker that I don't mind doing if anything it frees up your hands to swish the price tags around the many items which I love better than a sticker as it just leave more of a mess. One thing I do admit that some of the items are priced a bit higher in comparison to other thrift shops but really couldn't tell which are used and which are "newer" I guess you can say as the tags has two numbers one for the locker and the other the actual price. While I do feel like I'm at a local craft fair as some of the items are very similar with Disney Popsockets, Forever lei charms and lots of hair clips. I did purchase a couple items one happens to be on sale a hair clip for $5 and tote for $10 which is very crafty as it's a sewn cloth into a bag shape tied to a shoulder strap was kind cool and unique as the staff was okay as they don't have to follow you since you put basically everything you have in a locker. It's a matter of what types of folks bring in is the real find as it seems to be on Saturdays but since it's locals supporting locals it's a nice place for anyone to start without going to markets so it's the Lucky find. Thank you!

Shopping in Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I was actually looking for another small business when there was a free parking space right in front of the store: Lucky Penny I didn't know what it was all about, so I went inside, took a look around, and asked a few questions. What a catchy name for a vintage consignment store, right? Each "closet" or shelf/rack area contains merchandise from a local vendor. The items range from Aloha Collection bags and Trader Joe's coolers to dresses from Manuheali'i and Always a-line. I also saw handmade jewelry, gently worn shoes, fancy children's clothing, men's Aloha shirts, designer handbags, etc. The items change weekly, so if you see something you like, grab it! The tags have prices set by each vendor... with their vendor number on the tag. This is such a great concept! Note: there's a bag policy. Lock your purse/tote/backpack in a locker at the front door and shop hands free!

We worked with Sandra for about a year leading up to our wedding at La Pietra, and truly, we don't…read moreknow what we would have done without her. We're both busy professionals based in SF, so we knew we needed someone in Hawaii who could really take the reins. Sandra was a godsend. The biggest thing for us was that NOTHING fell through the cracks. If we mentioned something once, she remembered it. She was also somehow always calm. Even when we were indecisive, changed our minds, or threw something at her last minute (oops), we never once saw her rattled or annoyed. Special shoutout to Kandis too, who helped coordinate so many details throughout the year! We also loved that Sandra wasn't afraid to tell us what she thought. We were initially against having a tent because we thought it would ruin the look of the wedding. She ultimately left the decision to us, but made sure we understood the realities of Hawaii weather. We're so glad we listened! It rained the day before, was insanely windy the day of, and the tent ended up being a great decision. Her vendor network was another huge plus. After so many years planning weddings in Hawaii, she knows who's good. She gave us a handful of trusted options for each vendor, we interviewed and chose who felt right, and we ended up LOVING everyone we hired. They also consistently told us how incredibly "on it" Sandra was. And on the wedding day, we just... enjoyed it. Everything ran so smoothly that we could be fully present. Seeing everything we'd spent a year planning and envisioning finally come to life, even more beautifully than we imagined, was so special. It genuinely felt like the perfect day, and we know it wouldn't have been possible without Sandra and her team. We'd recommend Sandra a million times over.

We reached out to Sandra 2 years before our desired wedding date and immediately after our introductory call, we knew that we wanted to work with Sandra. Sandra broke down the wedding planning process in a way that made it really easy to work with . We didn't feel overwhelmed or stressed at any point of the planning process. She provided us with many different proposals for vendors and design that matched our vision and budget and helped us secure all the vendors that we wanted. Even with last minute changes, Sandra was able to address them quickly - a true professional! Our wedding was held at Lanikuhonua and it was the most magical day! We didn't even think for one second about the program as it flowed so effortlessly. We were present the whole night to each other and our guest and truly had the best day of our lives! Our vendors always said "Sandra will know what to do" and also was told she is the Queen of Lanikuhonua weddings and that couldn't be anymore true. We can't thank Sandra and her team enough for bring our dream wedding to life! Weeks after our wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how stunning and how much fun the wedding was. Every penny spent was well worth it and we'd do it all again a thousand times over.
