Thank you Dr. Williams to you and your team. I went into see Dr. Williams for a little blisters…read morethat were appearing on my thumb and fingers. He examined and explained that what was going on appeared to be an autoimmune reaction and he ordered labs so he could treat the root cause and rule out any autoimmune conditions. He also prescribed me a topical steroid which took the blisters away quickly. I continue to be under Dr. Williams care to keep a watch of my body's autoimmune response. During our conversations he asked if I had any other symptoms and I explained that I have been feeling sluggish, fatigued, lack of energy, weak in my legs, brain fog for the past five years. Dr. Williams ran another series of labs to check my adrenal glands and thyroid function. Lab results revealed hypo thyroid. Dr. Williams prescribed me a low-dose prescription and also plant-based adrenal supplements to help increase my T3, cortisol levels and to improve my overall adrenal function. After three days, I begin to feel so much better I wanted to cry happy tears. I feel that Dr. Williams really listened to me and cared enough to investigate when past medical doctors didn't. We are re-running labs again to check my thyroid function after 8 weeks. If you are looking for a wellness doctor, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Williams to discuss your symptoms. If you're questioning your thyroid function I also recommend listening to podcasts with Elle Russ.

I had laser hair removal on my underarms at Island Dermatology and completed over 12 treatment…read moresessions. Unfortunately, I saw little to no results. My underarm hair still grows back just as thick as before, and I didn't notice any meaningful reduction after all of those appointments. Another concern I have is that since my treatments, I've occasionally experienced unusual sensations in my underarms, including itching, burning, and twitching. I can't say for certain what caused it, but I didn't have these symptoms before my treatments, so it has been concerning. Given the cost, time, and number of appointments, I was very disappointed with my experience and expected much better results. I hope my review helps others make an informed decision and encourages the clinic to address these concerns with future patients.

5 Stars - Exceptional Service at Sugar & Skn!…read more I had an absolutely amazing experience at Sugar & Skn, and I can't say enough great things about Genesis! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. The studio is beautifully maintained -- clean, serene, and inviting -- but Genesis is what truly made the visit unforgettable. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Genesis took the time to explain every step of the sugar waxing process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Her technique is flawless -- gentle yet efficient -- and the results speak for themselves. My skin was left incredibly smooth with little to no irritation, and the entire experience was far less painful than traditional waxing. What really stood out was Genesis's attention to detail and genuine care for her clients. You can tell she's passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work. She creates a safe, judgment-free space that makes you feel confident and cared for.

I came in for a facial, already telling myself, "You're not gonna relax, you never do." Yeah, well... joke's on me, because five minutes in and I was practically melting into the table. Angela has this calm, soothing voice that could probably convince a tornado to chill out. She was so patient and thoughtful and really took her time to look at my skin, asked questions, and explained what she was doing in a way that didn't sound like a skincare lecture. She even gave me personalized tips and product recs that made sense for MY skin (and not like those "just buy this $300 serum" kind of suggestions). And let me tell you... when I looked in the mirror afterward ... WOW!! My skin was glowing. Like, actually glowing. Soft, hydrated, smooth! I legit caught myself touching my face all day and even in the days after. I haven't seen my skin look this good in forever. Angela's the real deal!! She's patient, knowledgeable, and seriously good at what she does. If you've ever wanted a facial that leaves you looking and feeling like you've been on vacation (minus the plane ticket), book it. Just do it. You'll walk out wondering how your face ever survived without her.

Super disappointed with the service I received and interaction with Mila. I had high hopes because…read morethe Yelp reviews were outstanding, but alas they were also misleading. This review is not to complain, simply to express my experience with Mila at the Face Lounge using a Groupon for a microdermabrasion treatment. Setting up the appointment was simple over the phone. When I had to cancel last minute due to work, she was understanding and flexible with rescheduling another appointment. The new location is in a residential area in Kaneohe. It's easy to miss, but gps does a fine job of getting you there. When I first met Mila she was pleasant, but seemed in a rush. Understandable as I was 5 minutes late due to not being able to find the house. I'll admit the setup in the bedroom upstairs was kind of odd...I felt weird being in a person's home. It wasn't very relaxing and the bed faced directly across a bright window that was pretty blinding as it didn't have any shades. I guess I'm just used to getting facial treatments in a spa-like environment. We started the microdermabrasion, it was my first time, she told me it would feel like sandpaper across my skin. I'd say my skin isn't that sensitive, it's more on the normal side - but wow, did it hurt in certain areas like under my eyes and cheeks...it started to burn by the third time she went over my face. Afterwards she began extractions on my face without steaming and opening my pores. That worried me. It also hurt like heck! She made a comment about how I didn't drink enough water thus dehydrating my skin and making it difficult for her because my skin "just wouldn't give". Hmm maybe it's because my pores aren't opened up?? Shame comment #1. Then she noticed bumps on my skin (milia), which I was conscious about to begin with. I have a about 5 little ones on my cheek. She said, "That's really bad, it's because of improper product usage. You're too young to have that you NEED to go to a dermatologist." Shame #2. At this point I just felt real crappy about my skin...about my face in general, which is so opposite from other experiences with previous facials I've gotten. I usually get comments about how good my skin looks! Then she put on a mask, it immediately started burning my whole face!! On fire!! She didn't believe me at first, but I was like, "This doesn't feel right is this supposed to feel like this?!" So with rough force she wiped it off with a wet rag and that HURT so badly. I was cringing with pain trying to keep quiet, not scream, and be polite. She proceeded with 2 more masks that also burned my face. Wow. Then of course ended with a shame #3 comment about how sensitive my skin was. In the end, I was rushed out because another client had arrived and I left feeling bummed out about the state of my skin with no solutions. Btw, the burning and redness on my face lasted for the next two days.

You've probably heard of the Midas Touch, but what about MILA'S Touch? Mila of Skinpure Beauty Bar…read moreturns everything she touches in to GOLD! I am so grateful to Groupon for introducing me to Mila & Skinpure Beauty Bar, initially for eyebrow waxing & shaping (see my previous review) and she also specializes in providing a comprehensive line of skin care treatments. So I recently had an opportunity to experience one of Mila's ultra RELAXING clinical facial cleanses, which I found so amazing. I couldn't resist letting my fellow Yelpers know that if you're a discriminating customer seeking a skilled, caring, gentle, conscientious, knowledgeable and very friendly esthetician to do wonders on your skin & face, look no further than Mila at Skinpure Beauty Bar, where for the service I received, the distinction is virtually pain-free extractions. You would find it impossible to not drift off to a state of nirvana under the care of Mila, who in my opinion gives the most soothing neck, arm and hand massages. Mila uses only high quality European products and you'll have to experience why her facial is not typical. I realized this when the usual order of cleansing, exfoliation, steam therapy, extractions, peel, mask & hydration was slightly DIFFERENT, and folks there is a reason. I won't give away her trade secret, you'll have to experience it, or ask her yourself! I was thrilled to know she offers her many services in packages and I am so looking forward to experiencing facials regularly at Skinpure Beauty Bar. Thank you, Mila, you are the best!

We booked two 90 minute massages with a 15 minute steam ahead of the massage. When we arrived they had us take off our shoes and gave us sandals to use, we also selected scents for the rooms and our tea preference. From there they showed us our rooms and had us change into robes before heading into the steam. While the space is too small for couples massages, we were able to go in the steam together and after we went into a room to drink our water/tea and relax ahead of the massage. Once they took us into the room the music was relaxing and they did a great job to ask where to focus and check in to make sure the pressure wasn't too much/too little. I had A LOT of tension in my back. While she was working on some problem areas I asked some questions about why it might be so tense/painful and it definitely was a mix of working out the pain to feel relief. The big takeaway was that I shouldn't go years between massages. After the massage we went back to the relaxation room and drank more water before heading out to pay. I felt so relaxed after the massage and would definitely recommend this business to others.
