    After brunch Little Sweetie, Bud and their mom walked me to the spa. They had made reservations for a 60 minute massage and a 30 minute facial for me. What a pampering gift. The massage therapist, Olivia came up the stairs to get me. Stairs and I are not compatible. She understood and we took the shortest path via a special elevator down. The room downstairs was dimly lit, decorated simple and relaxing with calm soothing music. I was showed the changing area then she took me outside to chill out in a cabana. It was a nice hot sunny day but no trades. She brought me a cookie and green tea peach flavored. Really nice touch. If you are sensitive to heat, skip the cabana. When it was time she brought me back into the private room. She held up a covering as I disrobed and got onto the table face down. Earlier she let me select one of 3 fragrances to be massaged with. I also chose light pressure. One hour passed so quickly then it was time for the facial. Both treatments were luxurious. I've had massages throughout our travels and on island and this one is one of the best. The plushest robe that covered my bod, the sheets and covering were silky smooth. The room temperature and the masterful strokes by Olivia as well as her genuine caring and sweet personality were superb.

    Ahhhhh! Pure bliss

    Oli Oli Lomilomi signature treatment was 120 minutes of pure bliss!! We have been coming to the Kahala for over 20 years and the spa NEVER lets me down!! I had Chizuko "Chi-Chi" who has probably done at least 5 treatments on me through the years which is so amazing!! I 100% enjoyed the treatment although it was not the treatment I thought I signed up for it was the treatment I totally needed! It started with a Hawaiian foot bath ritual. It was so relaxing to have my feet scrubbed, and to start off the treatment with this beautiful tradition.. It gave me time to smell all the scents we would be using and to center myself before we started. I can't tell you much more that happened after I laid down on the table because Chi-Chi's magic hands took over. I don't think anyone has ever taken such good care and nurturing with my back. At one point when I turned over, she started putting the oil in my hair and I was thinking well that's odd that she didn't do the mud on my legs first and then next thing I know she was cleaning my legs off. I must've been out cold because I had no clue that she put the mud on my legs and I slept through half the treatment! Thank God this wonderful table sat me up because there was no way I could move after my treatment! We moved outside and my treatment ended with me sitting in the cabana, drinking delicious iced tea and having a coconut cookie. I ran inside to take some photos to include with this review, but I should've taken them before the treatment. The rooms are so beautiful redwood and Hawaiian the Kahala spa has always been my favorite spa and I can't wait to come back and the best part is I know that Chi Chi will be here when I come back!!

    Cabana with tea and biscuits after a great massage!

    A review way overdue... During our staycation at the Kahala for my birthday (Aug 2021), my bf got me a two hour massage at the spa. From the service, to the lovely biscuits and tea they had waiting after, everything was absolutely amazing! Honestly thought two hours was way too long. And it's not lol. It's been since last year, but I believe Olivia assisted me. She was perfect. So kind and explained all services. The Lomi lomi was awesome. She was just awesome! Thank you so very much for a memorable experience. I look forward to another wonderful birthday stay this year!

    Small, intimate spa at this luxury hotel. Came here to celebrate mothers day. You check in at the spa store. There you wait for your masseuse to retrieve you to escort you to your massage room. You get to choose which oil they use for your massage. I chose the kahala spa blend. Once escorted to your private massage room, They let you change behind these huge curtains that separate the room from the bathroom. In the bathroom there is a huge jet tub, a shower, vanity with a sink and a closet. It was kind of awkward getting ready and only thing spreading you from your Masseuse is a curtain. The massage was amazing and comfortable. After our massage, they told us to get dressed and they will meet us outside for our private cabana. I wish we had time to wind down. We really wanted to enjoy the tub, but they were waiting in the massage room, So we just jumped in the shower. They escorted us right outside to the cabana. They had a plate of cookies for us and 2 drinks. A coconut water and a peach green tea. We got to hang out at the cabana as long as we wanted until we were ready to go back to the spa store to check out. I wish this spa had more amenities to enjoy and not so mush supervision. We just felt a little rushed and didn't really have time to unwind and relax after our massage. I understand though, being that it's not in an enclosed building. Great experience though.

    Wow, this may be my favorite spa ever! In spite of visiting the Kahala Hotel regularly to enjoy the beach, poolside dining, restaurants, swimming with dolphins, and two staycations, I had never been to the spa. Went today and positively LOVED it! It is spectacular! To begin with, how amazing that you get your own full private room with en suite bathroom!! NO sharing lockers and crowded showers - your very own luxurious space to change, bathe, and get ready afterward. Also loved the service!!! I booked facials for my mom and myself to celebrate her birthday. She had Chizuko and I had Olivia - both were top notch. I was in heaven! Afterward, they let us lounge in outdoor cabanas right beside the spa treatment rooms with water bottles, coconut water and green tea. They even had a plate of cookies that read "Happy Birthday, Carol!" We were so touched. This really is a world class spa. I can't recommend it highly enough.

    Highlight of Hawaii trip. Two wonderful hours with Miss Olivia who took amazing care of me. The spa area is updated and peaceful and she was the best.

    We had a lovely time! We took advantage of the monthly social and booked 90 minute massages. We had the sweetest masseuse. My daughter and I shared a room and didn't clutter it with chatter. We finished the experience with peach green tea in an airy cabana. Wonderful living!

    During these COVID times it's been rough and stressful and I'm thankful for Kahala Spa for taking such care and precautions to make us feel safe and welcomed very clean. Took my friends here for the Mother's Day special and 3 out of 4 of us was our first time to a spa and I must say we are very pleased and happy that we got to experience this and the people that took care of us were great, very personable and it was just an all around great experience. Thank you for taking really good care of us we will definitely be back!

    Great product available for purchase!

    Went for my first time and was very impressed they could take a walk in that day…read more I loved how small and relaxed the salon felt. My lady did amazing work and will definitely be back.

    I'm very sad to write this review. I truly dislike writing about my negative experiences…read more My nail tech was pretty rough and would turn my hand and fingers without a word into awkward positions and her nails would dig into my fingers. I thought she did an ok job, but a couple days after getting dip powder done my pink nails started fading into clear and white ish almost tie dye colors. The salon didn't feel clean or comfortable either. Parking was really hard to find too. It was my first time here and as I paid they said I had to leave a tip in cash. I told them I didn't have any cash and that I didn't know they only took cash. It was awkward and a bit stressful since of the language barrier my nail tech didn't fully understand. I asked if she could do Zelle or Apple Pay. They said no. And I said I'm sorry. But it felt like they wouldn't let me leave until I left a tip. So another nail tech got involved and it was like a 3 way award tension or none of us knowing what to do. Eventually I felt like I had to find a way to tip so another nail tech eventually had me Apple Pay her. Both the nail tech were not thankful for my cooperation and just visually looked annoyed and frustrated at me. But I truly felt very pressured and uncomfortable by this. If they require a tip and require a cash tip they should have explicitly put that in the booking instructions and notified me before confirming the appointment. I really didn't like this experience overall and especially didn't like feeling like I was corned and couldn't leave until a tip. It was a really disappointing first experience of getting my nails done here.

    Yesterday was my first time visiting this location. I found them on Instagram and, to be honest, I…read morewas a little hesitant at first. When I arrived, parking was a bit tricky due to limited spaces but that's pretty normal for Hawaii (ha!). Back on track, my waxer was Jazmin, and she is truly an angel sent from heaven. She's so kind, informative, and kept the conversation going the entire time, which I loved because I hate silence. She also gave me so much helpful information about ingrowns, especially since I'm very prone to them. The hydro jelly was my first time trying it, and now it's officially my favorite! Jazmin is honestly the sweetest waxer, and I highly recommend her to everyone. Even if you're just visiting, stop by for a simple glow and book with Jazmin you won't regret it. See you in 4 weeks!

    I just moved here and this was the first place I tried. I got a Brazilian wax. I want to say that…read more Jazmin was very nice but I don't think the quality of the wax + her technique was worth anywhere near what I paid. She missed a lot of hair and most of the hair was not removed down to the root. I am about one week out from my appointment and already have visible regrowth which should not be the case at all I'm very unhappy with my results and the amount I paid. Won't be back. She also was pretty annoying about getting me to buy some overpriced oil and exfoliation pads which I declined, and then she was kind of insisting that I book another appointment which I also happily declined. Lol my total was $99 ridiculous. I never make reviews but in this case I wish I would've seen something like this before going in.

My favorite things about EWC: - great customer service experiences - the Wax Pass program - their convenient, easy, nation-wide booking and pay system. For a while, I was out on the east coast for work and sought some much needed self care. Luckily, I found an EWC in the area and discovered my wax passes could still be applied at any location! #wonderful . Kalani was the most reliable technician who I booked for ages at Kapiolani, but she's moved on. ): Jasmine is now my go-to person and she's just as nice and efficient.

They got me in over 15 min past my appt time with a different person. Keep in mind there was no call notification whats so ever. When I was taken to the back the bed they wanted me to lay on was dirty with visible dirt and a paper that only covered 2/3 of the bed. As a cosmetologist myself, if something as simple as the being bed is dirty, I would absolutely NOT trust that the wax is clean as well. Since I was getting a Brazilian I do not trust that they are not putting double dipped wax on my kitty, avoid if looking for a place. This coming from someone in the beauty industry and who is aware of the sanitation procedures.
