    Sara is amazing. Easily the best nails I've done. She is patient, detailed, funny, and very much understanding of the style of what I wanted (ombré, cateye, Pastel purpose, gold foils) even tho I didn't really know what exactly kind of design to get, she nailed it (pun intended). Definitely would come back again for pedicure and future nail art. Price is very reasonable (I did my research and compared to 6+ popular nail salons nearby) and no hidden charges. Just be aware that since she's the only artist there, if you want to do pedicure and have a friend, will have to be back to back. Overall an amazing experience and super happy with my nail. Again, she's super patient and have lots of attention to details. And it showed on the work, the pictures don't do it justice enough. Highly recommend.

    I called and was able to get an appointment the very next day my stylist was Jen. She listened to everything I asked for in the consultation and executed it perfectly! Very happy with my hair

    Took my wife there when we were overnight in Honolulu on a 4-week cruise. She loved it. Prompt, courteous and professional service at a very good price. Highlt recommend Sanctuary.

    Renee really ATE this hair color!!! I was nervous about getting a cut and color while on vacation to Oahu but I had a phenomenal experience at Sanctuary. Renee was such a gem and a professional she really did wonders for my hair. Amazing conversation, amazing vibe I'm so grateful.

    Had a beyond wonderful bridal session with Hair & makeup by Sabrina. Grateful for a one stop shop where they gave me a last minute nail manicure too. Thank you so much Sabrina, you're the best!

    MIRACLES! MIRACLES SOLD HERE!! Oh wow how I love this group! Disclaimer: I was box dying my hair during the shut-down and I looked like it! lol! Renee sat me down, didn't judge me (out loud OR to anyone else - you know how some salons have the back room talk, don't tell me you don't!), and went over what we could do to save my hair. It did take me two sessions due to the state it was in but they hung in with me the whole way. I got the majority of my hair back to my natural looking color AND got highlights put in to brighten up my face and IT LOOKS AMAZING!!! I am a pretty low maintenance person so it is the most I have ever spent on my hair but I love being back to feeling confident. I know I never should have tried to use a box and the color I chose was way too dark but Renee and her crew can work MIRACLES and have you looking your best!

    If I could give Sanctuary 10 stars I would. I was supposed to have my tea ceremony and my original makeup artist canceled last minute because of covid 2 days before the event. I was frantically looking for any place that could take my mother in law, mother, my friend and myself and do hair and makeup for all 4 of us. Renee responded within minutes and was super patient with all of my questions while dealing with my anxiety and even moved some appointments around to accomodate all of us. When we arrived on the day of to get our hair and makeup done, the team was so welcoming from the beginning to the very end. Leah, Sabrina and Patty were SO efficient getting through all of our makeup and hair while making the entire experience so fun and relaxing. The end results were FLAWLESS. They made everyone feel so beautiful and words can't even describe how full my heart was when I saw how happy the moms were with their makeup and hair. It was clear that the team made them feel beautiful especially because they rarely ever get the chance to get done up. The last time might have been their own weddings decades ago! Needless to say I will be recommending them to EVERYONE. They are literally the BEST glam squad anyone can ask for. A huge thank you again to Patty and Sabrina and Leah. You guys are the best and I'm so glad I found you guys. Renee was also super sweet and checked in to make sure everything went smoothly and it definitely did!!

    Once again, Leah did an excellent job, although it is not what it shows on the picture that I was hoping to get, and it's understandable, but overall, I trust her process. She's amazing! Thank you so much, Leah!

    Leah did a really good job! I came there without any idea what I want to do with my hair from the haircut all the way to the color she did amazing! I request an appointment yesterday responded to me right away and booked me the next day! I love my hair thank you

    Great layered cut by Renée
    Chelsea M.

    I have really long, really wavy hair that tends to frizz easily. I only get my hair cut 2 maybe 3 times a year to freshen up the layers, so I need a GREAT cut, because I want it to last! I'm from Hawaii, now living in LA over 10 years and since I discovered Sanctuary on the recommendation of a friend a few years ago, it has been my favorite place to go. I have tried different salons in LA and Sanctuary is still better than most of them! Renee is a master of her craft and she only hires the best. Meant to write a review sooner. I've definitely been recommending this place to friends for years.

    I found Sanctuary Salon on Yelp while looking for a hair salon that could take me very last minute while I was on vacation in Oahu for 3 days. I realized quickly that many salons are closed on Sundays!! I called Sanctuary and spoke to Sabrina - I let her know I was only in town for a few days and desperately trying to get a hair cut! Not only was she quick to fit me in but she also helped squeeze my friend in for a color correction the next day. I LOVED my hair cut by Sabrina, one of the best cuts I ever had in my lifetime. She listened to what I was looking for and gave me the exact same cut I showed her. THIS rarely happens for me, I always leave other salons thinking "this did not come out the way I asked." I would likely fly from NYC to Oaho to book with Sabrina again. It's 5 days later and I am still loving my cut. Thank you Sabrina, you're amazing! I'm telling all my friends about this gem of a place.

She took her time to understand exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. The shape is perfect, the ombré blend is so smooth and clean, and the finish is super glossy and elegant. I've gotten so many compliments already! You can really tell she takes pride in her work -- nothing felt rushed, and every detail was carefully done. Not only is her work beautiful, but their new location was super spacious, clean, hygienic, and comfortable, which is so important to me. She's incredibly talented and consistent! If you're looking for a nail tech who delivers high-quality, stunning results every single time -- she's the one. Or any one at this salon I Highly, highly recommend!

Her attention to detail and ability to copy photo references, along with her suggestions, makes her the only person I wanna see. She knows how to do various nail art techniques, including intricate designs, rhinestone applications, and even has specialized gel polishes like glow-in-the-dark, chrome, and cat-eye effects. The salon offers a cozy ambiance, complete with a selection of beverages and snacks for clients. The pedicure sessions are particularly my favorite with massage chairs and options like the spa pedicure, which includes an extended leg massage. Though my all time favorite, if you're willing to splurge a bit is upgrading to the sugar scrub pedicure, it'll make you wish you had one sooner in life. Lily's also had a rewards system for loyal customers so make sure to take advantage if you come back. Beyond nail care, I've also utilized their eyebrow threading services with excellent results. Additionally, the salon retails Olaplex products, offering clients access to premium hair care solutions which I love. Because I don't know many places that sell Olaplex so this is an extra treat for my hair. The inclusive environment at Lily's welcomes everyone, including men seeking nail services and well-behaved small dogs. Given its convenient location across from the Ala Moana Center, the salon is easily accessible. However, parking is limited, accommodating approximately 5-7 cars, so planning ahead is advisable. But when in doubt there's always parking across the street at the mall. Make sure to book at least a week or two in advance as they do get busy especially during holidays. If you're in search of top-tier nail care in a welcoming setting, Lily's is the place to be.

I've been coming for the last 3 months and continue to be very happy with the service and results.

There's only a couple of downsides: 1) the prices are very high and 2) the massages are too soft. For example, I've paid $4 or $5 for callous removal at other salons, but they charge $10 here. Otherwise, I have no other complaints. I love the ease of the online booking system. The salon is clean and has a very chill vibe.
