    Looking for anything to do with beauty? Sephora is your place.... Smells so gooood when you walk-in and someone is always right there to help you with what ever you are looking for. The beauty consultants are knowledgeable and very friendly. There are so many products.... Everything you can imagine for every skin type. Today we went to look for a good, but not complicated skin care for beginners. AJ offered assistance and we explained what we were looking for and she knew exactly what to show us. The price was very reasonable and an easy regimen to follow. I like that AJ took her time and listened to what we needed and made a great suggestion. The shop is well organized by designer and or products and they have everything you will need to look and feel beautiful. Thank you AJ for a awesome experience.

    Happy National Lipstick Day!! MUAH!! July 29th is National Lipstick Day and Sephora is celebrating by offering 50% off deals....whaaaat?! It's always so awesome you can earn points with every purchase, receive a gift on your birthday month and with the wide variety of products including their own Sephora line is so incredibly affordable you can have your retail therapy look fabulous and save on $$ woohoo!! There is always someone there if you need any assistance and with the pandemic you aren't able to touch the testers without the staff, other than that it's my favorite place to treat myself for some self care. Thank you!!

    Hey guys I got this lip perk service yesterday totally totally worth it! I think the guys name was John he did such a good job. If u haven't chapped and cracked lips and your usual lip plump not doing the job it's definitely worth it to stop by. The appointment was super easy to step up and my lips looked way better after the appointment (total session lasts around 15 minutes) and they also give u the lip revitalizing serum for afterwards. I am absolutely planning on stopping by to do the full face before the end of my trip. Thanks for the fantastic service!!!!!!

    Has all the scents I need!

    My recent visit about a week ago, I went in to check out specific items. During "covid times" its become a bit harder to shop in store. There's good things like limited customers browsing, sanitizing, and social distancing floor markers. But then there's the things that you're not used to, like no samples and shelves looking bare and not knowing what looks like what. I had in mind Dior lip products I wanted to check out. I normally only stick to Kat Von D liquid lipsticks, but now with masks... I've been looking at other, more hydrating options that wouldn't smear. Who wants to look trashed when they take off their mask? Not I. Well, not all the time anyways. Dior cosmetics are right up front so I take a look. As soon as I stand in front of the section, someone asks if I need help. Without products being out and seeing what they look like, of course I say "sure". I explain that I'm looking for lip tint that's hydrating LIKE a lip balm, but I DONT want a lip balm. I also added in that I was leaning toward Dior. She directs me to the Honey Butter Beeswax products......... Which is a lip balm, but she said it isn't. I nicely dismissed her and just browsed for a couple minutes before quietly scooting my way out. I know 98% of the time when I go out, I look like a train wreck and probably don't know a thing about makeup. But I don't care to be bothered too much in Sephora because I normally know what I want or am able to navigate just fine. Samples not being out, just throws me off. I should've looked online first to see colors/swatches. I know now. It really was nice of her to help, but she didn't hear my wants/needs. I do like the store for its helpful staff and overall cleanliness. I like the procedures and precautions that have in place. And Sephora really is a nice general place to shop. Its got many beauty items a woman could need.

    My stuff today along with my online orders!

    I came here just to look around. I walked around and bought a couple of lipsticks. I also bought a night moisturizing mask. I claimed my free gift for my birthday month. The online orders were the Too Faced eyeshadow palette along with blush and a highlighter, and the viseart mini palette. I definitely can't wait to try these items. Some stuff was already sold out. Kind of disappointed in that. Overall I had a pleasant shopping experience. The kind older lady asked if I was doing okay and told her yes. Not too much to choose from here even though it seems as a bigger store. The ladies in the store were super nice. I would come back.

    This Sephora is located in the Ka Makana Ali'i mall in Kapolei. This store is amazing! The store is always immaculate and the beauty specialists are always friendly and knowledgeable. I have recently started to invest in my skin care routine and this is the place I go. My favorite brands include Tatcha and Drunken Elephant. These products are on the pricier side, but they are worth it. If you are curious about trying any products out before committing to a full size, there are usually smaller travel sizes available for purchase. Another Sephora must have are the Sephora clay masks. They come in a little pouch and are amazing! The perfect mask to detox and smooth out my skin. If you are looking to try out any new products, come in and browse! The beauty specialists are wonderful and there is so much that you can sample!

The staff are very friendly and even said they would be willing to watch my newborn baby if I call ahead. As I walked in I was greeted and taken back to get an application of numbing cream for my treatment, then Dr. Chen did the BBL laser treatment. She explained the procedure to me and told me what to expect. She is very friendly and down to earth. She recommended I come back in one month for another treatment. If you are looking for a great med spa with awesome staff and a top physician I recommend you come here for the best results! They also have plenty of reserved parking in the back.

When she did the first one, and I went back to ask her what was happening with that, she put another lump in my face on the right side of my lip... They were supposed to be filler for my smile lines. Since then, I have been to several aesthetic providers, and they have done great work. My face looks exceptional except now I have 2 random weird looking lumps on my face that were not able to be dissolved by my current aesthetics provider. I don't know what she put in my face, but she ruined it. It's noticeable in pictures and in person. I thought that waiting it out would cause them to dissolve, but apparently they are not dissolvable because I have paid over six hundred dollars trying to get them dissolved. In total, I have spent over twenty thousand dollars.And I look very good except for those two stupid lumps on my face. Disgusting. She apparently does not know what she's doing, because even when I asked her, she said to rub them in toward my smile lines and that they would go away. This is atrocious, stay away.

Luckily, I found Pali Women's Health which was thankfully on the west side of the island near home. Pali Women's Health shares the same parking lot as Kalapawai Cafe. If there is no parking, you can find street parking, Chuck E Cheeses, or across the street at the old K-Mart. It's a small facility, but I felt that it was great for what I was wanted. I called in after seeing their Yelp page and requested an appointment. Someone called me within 48 hours to schedule and because I was a new patient, they even mailed me my forms ahead of time so I can complete it before coming in. The woman on the phone was really helpful and she worked with my hectic work schedule. My appointment was with Physician's Assistant Alisha who was awesome! I felt comfortable talking with her about my health and felt that she gave me great information based on my family's history on preventative measures and doing a cancer screening. I felt comfortable talking to her and the exam flew by quickly. I'd definitely recommend!

    When I called to discuss this directly, the tone of the conversation was very different from what's…read morebeing presented here. It felt short and dismissive. During that call, I stated that I was willing to provide medical documentation regarding the pink eye diagnosis, and that offer was not welcomed at the time. So it's confusing to now see that documentation is being requested publicly. The photo attached to my original review was taken immediately after the service. In that image, you can see that some lashes were not properly isolated and several were not lifted upward evenly. Additionally, the rods were in place for the duration of the 1.5-hour appointment while the facial, dermaplaning, and extractions were being performed. I understand policies exist, but the experience itself, both during the service and in the follow-up communication, is why I felt compelled to leave my review. Clients deserve to feel heard and taken seriously, especially when a medical issue follows a treatment. Ultimately, based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this business.

    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!

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

I had the pleasure of getting my pedicure from Grandma Hannah. Although her English is limited, she would gently guide my feet where she needed them, and communication wasn't an issue. She took her time, made sure I was comfortable throughout the service, and even helped restart my chair massage when it stopped. I never felt rushed, which I really appreciated. I've been searching for a new nail salon after being disappointed by my last two places, and I think I finally found it. The prices are comparable to other salons, and I included a photo of the current menu for anyone curious. A couple of helpful tips: they prefer cash tips, and there's an ATM inside if you need it. Also, if you pay for your services with a credit card, there's a 2.5% surcharge, so bringing cash can save you a little. Overall, I had a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. Grandma Hannah will be my go-to from now on!
