Tina is the owner of Hiwa Beauty Company and she offers various services like eyelash extensions,…read morelash perms, brow lamination, and waxing. I've been seeing Tina for about 4 years now for my lash extension needs. Basically this girl is a magician because she makes me look like I'm alive and a normal functioning human being lol! You can say I'm addicted! As a mother of 2 toddlers going to see Tina is a special treat. She's so sweet and does an amazing job with lashes. I usually get the hybrid set but also do the volume sets for special occasions or when we do family photoshoots. The sessions are painless and I never have anything poking my eyes after. I also get good retention with her sets. I wish my lashes were naturally long and full but Tina makes it possible. She is located in that building near Ala Moana with Gyukaku on the bottom. You park in the building and on level "E" there's a connection to the offices in the building so you don't have to walk out of the parking structure at all. She does validate. She's currently in the Yours Truly salon on the 3rd floor. Most of the time the door is locked so I just text her and she will come open the door. The view from her room is nice and full of sunshine. If you need someone who does great lashes, is easy to talk to and book with then what are you waiting for? Just book with her!

I absolutely love the new space! Now that Hiwa Beauty is located in Aiea it's super easy to find…read morewith lots of free parking and available appointment slots. I've been here for both brow lamination and tinting as well as a brand new set of lashes. The process is always quick, comfortable and affordable. I always love the end result and would recommend Hiwa Beauty Company.

This review is for Shana at the refinement. She is a friend of a friend I've been following on IG…read moreand she was offering an awesome special on balayage for any length hair (this was before the covid pandemic) so I took it. It was super easy to make an appointment and she's pretty flexible with her days and times. The salon is on dillingham above a physician's office so I would schedule when they are not open. The salon itself is clean and has a nice ambiance, I did not feel out of place while hanging out on their couch waiting for my turn. Shana did an amazing job on my hair. I had a party later on that evening that I attended and I got many compliments. My scalp didn't burn and my hair actually smelled really good after getting colored. I will be back after this pandemic is over!

She always takes such good care of me when I get a cut. I have been coming back everytime because I love how my hair feels after. Shana makes it so simple. I can go in without a picture and she will cut it exactly the way I want it. Make sure to check in on yelp to redeem your $20 off any hair service!! yes you read that right!! $20!! I go and get a $60 hair cut, and end up paying only $40. That's a deal if you ask me!! Requesting an appointment is super easy. You can message on yelp and they will get back to you. Only downside is the parking is pretty tuff and hard to get it if sometimes. It's kinda small and tight. One time I had to drive around the block a couple times because it was full. Other than that, I love this place and continue to come back every time.

I am very impressed with Suzie's work on my eyeliner AND eyebrows. I went to her salon initially…read morejust to get a retouch of my permanent eyeliner that was done over 10 years ago. She is very knowledgeable and knows what works. She did wonders with my eyeliner, also adding a wing at the ends to enhance my eyes. I never realized it would make such a big difference! I love it! She also noticed that my eyebrows were done too "low" towards the inner ends by my nose area. Plus she said that it was too dark for my skin tone as well. My eyebrows were done 3 years ago during the pandemic, and I was wondering why I didn't get as many compliments as I expected at that time. Suzie looked at me and immediately said that my eyebrows made me look a bit angry or bothered. I asked her if she could "fix it" and she said "yes, I can". She was able to make the time for me to laser off the inner part of my eyebrows and tattooed over it with a lighter shade. This was my first appointment with Suzie, 2 services back-to-back at the same time. She said she was fortunate that she didn't schedule another client ahead of me so she was able to take her time. That was 2 months ago. I have gone for my retouches already on both my eyeliner and eyebrows and they are fully healed. They both look amazing! I have so many compliments from people and friends about them. I highly recommend Suzie for your permanent make-up needs. She is very professional and her salon is clean and immaculate!

When you find an awesome one you keep them and follow them wherever they go. Because of relocations to another state I lost the first two. That led to me being without extensions for some time because I couldn't find an artist whose work stood out. But through a good friend I found Ebony. I've got Asian eyes that need a mixture and she worked her skills. I'm so extremely happy each time I walk out of her studio. Her setup is like no other... she got a smooth playlist that helps you wind down as well as a few other comfy tricks that will make you wish you had found out about her sooner. I'm pretty simple.. don't wear makeup everyday but as long as I have Ebony taking care of my lashes, I feel that's all I need. Parking is available across the street from the King Kalakaua Bldg.

Overall the price wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it looked something like this: Groupon - $120 (I got $30 discount from app) Texture charge - $40 (she said usually she would charge $60, so this was nice of her!) Haircut - $25 (but then she gave me a $10 discount, so $15) She's really nice and accommodating, always asked if I was comfortable, if I needed water or the rest room, etc. I would highly recommend her, she is very thorough and I am very happy with my hair! :) Thank you very much, Ms. Kate!

I bought a Groupon for Japanese hair straightening with Kate. The price of the Groupon was $154…read more This is the standard price that I've paid when getting Japanese straightening outside of Hawaii. We all know that things cost exorbitantly more in Hawaii, so I estimated that this would be a good deal. There were several issues before I made the appointment. Kate's schedule isn't convenient if you live in town and have a Monday to Friday work schedule. It isn't easy for me to get out to Pearl City except on weekends. Kate said that she was unavailable on Saturdays. I booked an appointment for Sunday at 7:30 AM. The day before my appointment I received a text from Kate asking if I could change my appointment to 7:00 AM. I agreed. Kate is located at Heads Up Salon inside Pearl City Shopping Center. The salon is modest and older. There really isn't much to say about the ambiance beyond that. When I arrived Kate said that based on my hair and length, I'd have to pay $100 more. This seemed a bit too much even for my thick and curly mane. Maybe $50 more, but $100? Since I was there and set on getting my hair done, I agreed to the price hike. It is what it is, but this is just a heads up to women with longer than shoulder length curly or ethnic hair. You could be charged upwards of $100 extra, which doesn't make the Groupon deal that much of a "deal" anymore. The styling itself was good. Kate was nice. She trimmed my hair and did the usual procedure of putting on the product and flat ironing my hair. She said that if I return she can do a touch up for less, I think she said around $160. I will consider returning, but first I will try to find a better deal at another salon. Spending $160 for a touch up on my roots still seems expensive, especially for an independent stylist outside of Honolulu. I would recommend getting the Groupon for Japanese hair straightening here if you live around Pearl City and have Asian or European hair that is shoulder length or shorter. If that is the case, you probably won't have to end up paying extra. If you have thick, long, curly, mixed race, or ethnic hair, it might be worth it to shop around and compare prices with other salons before committing to this one. There very well might be a salon more conveniently located in town that can do the same service for $300 or less.

Mel and Jasmine at Infinity Beautee Suites are amazing! I had been roaming the earth with 3 week…read moreold lashes from a different business and, quite oddly, the retention on one eyeball was... non-existent ... I had one bald eyeball!! Super shame!! Everyone I talked to would be staring distractedly at my naked eyeball!! I don't blame them!! But I was emotionally over it!! I had to find someone who could see me ASAP!! Now, I am one of those old [fashioned] humans who still calls people and businesses... on the phone. I know it seems aggressive to sensitive, young humans to call before texting but I'm pushing 40 and am unapologetically old school. Mel answered my call immediately and fit me in the same day with Jasmine for lash removal. I was [am] so grateful for the swift response and accommodation! Jasmine removed those yucky old bristles off my eyes effortlessly and gently and made me look normal again. They were so sweet and Jasmine seemed very knowledgeable in lashes that I booked with her for a new set the following day. I like my lashes to be that "in between" style... Like, natural glam, soft/ light volume. She found an example that i loved called 'kitten lashes' which is a cross between open eye and cat eye and she NAILED it! It's so nice to find someone who just gets it right! It's so sexy without being super heavy and fake. I get people asking me "Are those YOUR lashes?!" I love that! When they're so beautiful that they catch attention but they're so beautiful that people can't tell if they're real or fake... ;) Disclaimer: Jasmine is very gentle and the situation is so relaxing that you might find yourself snoring yourself awake every few minutes... Which is also, as embarrassing as bald eyeballs. But thank you, Jasmine! This mama needed a nap and to look glam- two birds with one stone! Mahalo nui! You can find the perfect lashes and nap opportunity by contacting Mel for an appointment or booking a service on their website. They are located in Aiea Shopping Plaza on the ground floor directly across from Palazzo and next door to Frost City.
