Ambiance- 4 stars Service- 5 stars…read moreProducts- 5 stars I visited Tony Moly on Ke'eaumoku street last week and felt like a kid walking through a toy store. So many things I wanted like their facelift mask, but stuck to my plan and exercised discipline! First, this store is located on a very busy street. However, parking was not difficult! If you are visiting another shop like Tour de Jous in You Me Mart or Wal Mart, it's walking distance! When I entered, the sales woman greeted me and was very helpful when I asked her about the facelift mask and the sunscreen stick. She shared three different options of sunscreen sticks and informed me that one was on sale. So exciting ! I ended up buying the Green Tea cleansing wipes, the Sunscreen sticks and a pack of 5 Watergel masks to which I was awarded a free face mask I'll definitely be back soon.

Not sure if the younger girl who can speak Korean and English is the owner or owners daughter or…read moremanager or what but she is very rude and they always try to push sales. I've been coming here for a long time, enough times since they have been at this location, and only recently, like maybe since couple years ago? to present have I seen this girl. Anyway, I came here with my mom last week to buy some moisturizer, toner etc and right away, an older sales lady comes up to my mom and started showing her these bundles that are supposedly on sale that says they are worth $700 dollars? No way and for tony moly brand!? My mom just uses moisturizer and toners/emulsions so she doesn't need all the other stuff which was just cleanser and eye cream, and samples. That whole brand line, there is clear on that shelf that says BUY 1 GET 1 FREE promotion. So assuming what's on the shelf - it's for the whole same line on that shelf and it was only that tony moly line on that shelf. They were selling singles of the toner/emulsions bottles & creams and then a set that comes with both toner and moisturizer. You would think the set is also buy 1 get 1 right? So I asked the lady is this set but 1 get 1 also? And she said yes. I asked her multiple times and also my mom speaks fluent Korean and she asked the same thing to her and she said yes! Ok so we get that that was supposed to be valued at $139.99 but in the set it's $59.99 or $60 and a cream since it's buy 1 get 1 at $90. Mind you this brand and these products I found out after are discontinued and singles sell for about $30 if they are available. So their supposed value prices are marked wayy up making you think you are getting a deal so you can buy it. Anyway, the lady is ringing us up and charges us double or x2 for the set. We ask her again, isn't the set but 1 get 1 free? This time she doesn't answer. Both me and my mom when she speaks Korean. She hesitates and looks to the youger girl. Then the girl gives some excuse of an explanation saying INSIDE the set box you're already getting the buy 1 get 1 free deal when why is the set box priced as if you're buying two singles?? But I said oh but it clearly states buy 1 get 1 for everything on this shelf she gets mad and keeps saying no, in the set is already buy 1 get 1. Ok we were still going to buy it but she didn't want to admit their mistake and stood her ground blaming me for misunderstanding when they are confusing the cutomer. I suggested she could make it clearer but saying to put the set is not included and just the singles are buy 1 get 1, that's all she had to do was say okay yea I see how that can be misleading or something like that. Instead she got angry and said we can't buy and to leave. Fine by us but she would have still gotten our money, but not anymore. I didn't catch the price thing at the time but I'm letting you all know they trying to trick you into thinking it's a deal but you're still paying full price for it! I know for a fact they are also charging more in the actual price because I've seen the jar cream sell at less than $50 couple years ago and I just checked on popular verified shopping sites it's still less than the $90 they are charging. The jar cream getting the buy 1 get 1 deal here is the same as you paying for the value of 1 jar that's less than $50 else where but still it's not honest and doubling the price value of 1 jar to make the customer think you are getting a deal I don't like. Anyway so I think the young girl didn't want to admit their mistakes and didn't want us to catch the price mark up so she got mad and told us to just leave. Ok, my mom was till going to purchase it and you were rude to us! The young girl had a very dismissive attitude from the start when my mom was just asking questions about the product to her even in Korean. I've noticed why some Korean beauty stores don't really do well here and have all flopped and went out of business. This store also carries other Korean brands, not just Tony Moly.

We're in this pandemic and I am in the search for the best masks. There's just so many kinds and…read moreI'm looking for the most comfortable and not hot ones. I've also looked high and low for masks for my daughter. I think I've bought three different types so far. Anyway, I got a tip from a coworker that Beauty Touch has some really good masks. It's comfortable to wear because those elastic bands aren't on your ears and it's easy to breathe and not hot. Perfect. She showed me at work and it was so light and good. I decided to check out Beauty Touch. Each mask is $10 which can be a little pricy but I figure if it's gonna be comfortable and cool, it's okay. Beauty Touch is a small store in Don Quixote. They sell a lot of face products and korean merchandise like BTS stuff. But they also have a whole section on these masks. I ended up buying three and it seems to fit very snuggly on but it doesn't seem as hot as wearing a cloth mask. The masks feel like they're made of that microfiber kind of material so it's silky smooth on your skin. They also have that same cloth around your ears so you don't have those elastic bands rubbing against your ears. They have a variety of solid colors as well as Hawaiian prints to choose from. They also sell masks for kids. They let me try it on over her mask and it fit. I also purchased two for my daughter. But when we took it home it kept falling off. It's been so difficult to find her one that doesn't fall off. Her face is just so small and she has no nose to hold it up. It's okay. She likes that it's not rubbing on her ears. I think I'm just gonna have to make adjustments. Overall I'm glad that I was able to check out Beauty Touch and I can't wait to use these masks.

I'd been curious about getting my eyebrows done for a long time but was hesitant because I use…read moretretinoin and had seen so many regret/removal videos. A friend of mine had hers done a few years ago and said it was one of the best things she's ever done, which finally convinced me to go for it. I found Beauty Babe by Michele on Yelp, and her all five-star reviews immediately stood out. Even so, it still took me a few months to make the appointment (it's hard to pause tretinoin!), but I'm SO glad I did. Michele is exactly as everyone says--sweet, humble, and incredibly talented. She took her time during both the initial procedure and the follow-up, listened carefully, and made adjustments until everything was perfect. I honestly couldn't be happier with my brows. I still use tretinoin, and even if my brows fade a bit faster, I'm totally fine coming back for touch-ups. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of her work. Highly recommend Michele--you won't regret it!

Thank goodness for the Yelp app, which helped me find this stellar business listing, Beauty Babe. I…read morewas impressed with the owner's (Michele Malek) experience, photo gallery, response time, service offerings, and convenient location. Since leaving the workforce over ten years ago, I imagined waking up, rolling out of bed, not doing my make-up (although I minimally used eye and lip cosmetics due to the nature of my job), and looking decent. However, about seven years ago, I decided to try microblading my thinning and shortening eyebrows, and my husband lovingly teased me about having Rottweiler eyebrows. The painless semi-permanent microbladed eyebrows usually lasted two to three years, with proper annual to no maintenance. I was set for a maintenance appointment when I suddenly discovered that my usual artist had retired. I was left in a lurch because I planned to get the maintenance done before traveling domestically and abroad from late last year. I contacted Beauty Babe to inquire about her microblading and ombré powder tattooing services, appointment availability, and cost. Michele's friendliness and reassurance for assistance came through her voice. She also described the difference between microblading and ombré powder eyebrows, and I quickly agreed to book an appointment to see for myself. On the appointment day, Michele sent me a message regarding directions, parking lot availability, and security in her salon. I didn't take any interior photos for privacy because there were other clients and artists, even though the salon had privacy partitions and separate rooms for tattooing. After measuring my eyebrows, Michele applied makeup to my faded eyebrows to show me the difference between the microblading and ombré powder techniques. My only concern was having my eyebrows look natural and not dramatic. She did a few tweaks, which enhanced the shape, applied the topical anesthetic, and then did her magic. Within a couple of hours, I emerged from the salon with perfect and natural-looking eyebrows or, as they say, "eyebrows on fleek." She gave me an After Care package with instructions, mild liquid soap, tissues, a small tube of Vitamin A&D ointment, and yummy Ferrero Rocher candies. I look forward to an initial touch-up appointment within the next six to eight weeks, just before I'll be "on the road" again. Michele's excellent artistry has saved me time and made looking decent after waking up in the mornings even more enjoyable.

Heading to the Alpha Ball tonight and wanted a glam look to match the black and gold gown. It was really easy to call and schedule an appointment. Upon entry, I showed my Stylist the dress and she helped me to pick the items that would complete the look. My stylist was very sanitary, cleaning the products and using new applicators. She took the time to pause and let me see her progress to ensure it wasn't too much or too little. Before I knew it, my Stylist was done and the look was complete. There is a three product purchase with the full facial makeup application. To me, that's reasonable because I couldn't put fake lashes on myself. So if you have a special event and need help to complete your look, this is a great makeup option. They are fast, friendly, and practically magicians for how they transform your look. Thank you MAC!

Booked an appointment here for my makeup to be done for a photoshoot…read more It was 2 associates present - 1 male (gay) and 1 female (young with plain jane looking makeup). I was hoping the male would do my makeup on this day - But I was turned over to the female. I like staff who has a nice face beat game when I meet them and she didn't have that wow factor LOL that amazing face beat LOL But - I gave her the benefit of a doubt and I agreed to have her apply the makeup. First of all the AC was broken in this store upon arrival they had a stand in Fan that didn't help much but it helped. I was seated and I showed the woman the face I was inspired to want for my face look. Bronzy brown sultry smokey eye look. its $90 for the appt and that $90 you have to use to purchase items that was either used on you or buy items worth that much. The MUA was not even with the eyebrows. I didn't complained because a head lei was going to cover that part anyway. But that is not the point. A MUA would master the art of perfecting an Arched Brow. The final look was FAR FROM THE PIC I showed her. She pretty much FREESTYLED the face look. I was not happy. At this point my photo shoot time line I was focused on and for me to complain and complain I would not have made it to my photo shoot on time. This store was pretty dead this day and it was a slow day. So I ended getting 2 foundations and the lashes she used on me to use the $90 fee for makeup application. I would come back here again but I would request another MUA to apply my makeup.

My friend bought me the body butter for Christmas; I did not actually visit the store. So all I…read morecan say is that the body butter was like magic! Seriously. I have had severely dry skin all my life. I cannot believe the results I got from Gratiae body butter. My skin went from dry, cracked & flaky to baby smooth. I'm hooked. Another thing that really impressed me... I didn't start using the product until a year-&-a-half after I received it because I put it aside in my clutter & forgot that I had it. So, when I finally found it, I was skeptical about using it thinking it was probably spoiled or ineffective being that it's natural & organic. However, I am SO glad I took the chance because this has been the best thing for my skin EVER! ...and I'm in my 50s. I didn't realize how expensive this product was until I tried to re-purchase. Very pricey but, for me, worth it. I am very far from rich living paycheck-to-paycheck but don't mind paying the price for a product of this quality. In fact, my remarkable experience with the body butter has me curious about what the facial products could do for my sagging, wrinkled face. Gonna take advantage of the Black Friday specials!...
