Love love love Cariann. You can go anywhere but she is so detailed to you as an individual and does excellent work. I couldn't go anywhere else. Also bonus she has a little boutique store with cute individual gifts to purchase for any occasion. read more

Excellent job with the waxing. I was very happy with the results. Recommend her business highly. I had, legs, arms, face, eyebrows and bikini line and everything was fantastic. read more

I found this place near our house when my gf was looking for somewhere to get her eyebrows done. I was going to buy her a gift certificate but she looked up the prices and insisted the prices were very reasonable so she didn't want me to pay for her. Anyway, she went and came home very happy reporting that Cariann was super nice and did an excellent job including more services than she originally had planned, or at least had told me She needed. It's a small clean shop at Stadium Mall and my gf said she will continue to go there. I say that's worth 5 stars. read more

I moved, so I wanted to find a place for eyebrow waxing closer to our new home. Lucky for me, I hit the jackpot on the first try. You know how it is ladies... it's so difficult to find someone good - sometimes it takes a couple of tries. She has one designated parking spot available, but no worries - there's plenty of parking spots in the lot if that's taken. Her studio is aesthetically pleasing and feels very relaxing. She even provides "spa-like" slippahs to wear. Her waiting room is cozy and she has complimentary candy and coffee/tea/hot chocolate via Keurig. I love Cariann! She's super down to earth, and she really tries to remember all of us. During my appointment, she makes me feel relaxed and is very personable. I asked her to keep my eyebrows full with it's natural shape - just cleaned up... and she delivered! She knows how to do eyebrows, and WELL! Dare I say, my eyebrows are on fleek?

Waxing by Cariann - Such a cute place! - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I have worked next door for almost a year and had never tried Cariann. But since my desk is by the window I see the amount of comings and going she has always told me she must be great at what she does. And I was right! I went for a brow wax, super easy to book using her website. I even had to change my appointment time and was able to do it online also, which I love because sometimes to change appointments you end up playing phone tag. And you get a confirmation text! Upon going in, I never expected what a little slice of heaven was behind that door. It was so peaceful. Smelt amazing! And you get little slippers to switch into, which was just such a nice touch, really makes it an experience rather then just a simple appointment. Had a lovely chat while getting the waxing done, I had briefly mentioned what brows I liked but the 2 were entirely different styles. But Cariann did her work and I got the best brows ever. I will definitely go back!! read more

Waxing by Cariann - The coziest waiting area ever!! And it smelt soooooo good - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I had my very first appt today with Cariann. I've heard about her from a friend and it has been nothing but good things so I was excited for my appt. My appt ended less than 30 mins ago and here I am already writing a review, so you know that I had an exceptional experience with her. I hardly ever rush to do a review but I feel she totally deserves the acknowledgment and that if you are considering booking with her, you also deserve to spend your hard working money on quality service. From beginning to end she was very organized and communicated well. She is very thorough and her office is very CLEAN! She follows ALL COVID safety guidelines and has sanitary procedures in place. She made me feel absolutely COMFORTABLE during the entire process. Cariann was very professional, knowledgeable and gentle. She is also very nice and friendly. I highly recommend her if you are looking to get any waxing services (or any services she may offer) Definitely will continue to be a returning customer! read more

Had my first appointment with Cariann today and left very satisfied! She was very welcoming & knowledgeable . It's very obvious she's been waxing a long time. She made sure to get every hair & even helped get some ingrowns out. I got a bikini line wax and she let me choose how deep I wanted it and even got some of the top area which I'm my experience most places don't do. Definitely will be back read more

Wanted a brow wax stat (at least a year went by since the last wax so what's the rush right? Heh yeah. But seriously. Needed it). Made an appointment ONLINE (no calling!) for the very next day. LOCATION: Stadium Mall across the Jack-in-the-Box drive thru. Cariann even sent a text describing where her shop is located (right when I was trying to find it. Perfect timing!) INTERIOR/AMBIANCE: Well-lit, petite shop. Simple, welcoming and clean decor. Shoes are removed upon entering and you change into bath slippers. Filled out some (easy peasy) paperwork as I was a new customer. Then, she directed me into the room where the waxing magic happens. EYEBROWS: Scheduled an appointment solely for eyebrow waxing. She was personable and we had a pleasant conversation while she deftly waxed off all the extra brow hair. The end result was exactly as I had hoped-- shaped and thinned, but not overly so. OVERALL: 100% will return. It was almost too easy to make an appointment and Cariann is very skilled at what she does. Also, the price of a brow wax is reasonable ($20 for a nice brow wax, not including tax). Love it! read more

Eyebrows are important. When mine start to get too wild and out of control, I feel unattractive no matter how cute my makeup and outfits are. I've gone back and forth between waxing/tweezing and threading over the past few years living in Hawaii. After several not-so-great experiences with threading (i.e., bloody eyelids!), I decided to try waxing again and found Cariann via Yelp. Cariann's salon is so beautiful, clean, and relaxing. She's really sweet and does awesome work. Her salon is located near the Ice Palace, and there's a reserved spot right up front so you don't have to struggle to park like I've done in the past. Best of all, my brows always look good after I leave, and I don't have any issues with irritation or sensitivity after getting them waxed. You won't regret coming in, and your eyebrows will love you for it. read more

If you are looking to get waxed, go see Cari!!! She's so amazing. Her place is so clean and inviting, makes you feel so comfortable. Don't worry about being nervous, she's so calm and always professional and always on time! Her location is nearby for just about everyone on Oahu, check her out you won't regret it!! You'll become an addict, like me! :) read more

Love getting my eyebrows waxed by Cariann! Her shop is super clean and parking is convenient. Her work is detailed and perfect! Go see her, you will be glad you did! read more

Had to look for a new person to do my eyebrows and found Cariann on Yelp. Got my appt and everything went so good, she talked me thru my waxing and she was down, I didn't even feel anything because she kept me comfortable during the waxing. Highly recommend her as I have chosen her to be my new person for my eyebrows. Her shop is cute with a little area in the front to purchase other things and it smells so good in here now sure what she uses but it's good. read more

For my first time wax, I was very nervous and hesitant. I actually rescheduled my initial appointment due to being a scaredy-cat, but for this one I decided to suck it up. I'm so glad i did! Cariann is so friendly and she knows exactly what she's doing. She is constantly letting you know what she's doing so you're not out of the loop and she explains to you why she does things the way she does. She's constantly talking to you like you're an old friend and it honestly makes time go by so quickly and is great at distracting you from what's going on down there, lol! She even teaches you a technique to help with the pain when she pulls the strip off. Guys, I'm telling you!!! If you've been looking for someone to see, SHE IS THE ONE! I honestly don't know why I was even nervous in the first place. She's amazing at what she does! read more

Cariann is the best waxer I have ever had! I had been waxing for years at multiple places and I knew after the first time she waxed me I wouldn't be going anywhere else. She took care of me for 4 years! I got a Brazilian every 4 weeks. Her method is the least painful I've ever had, she's fast, VERY clean, has a TV mounted so you can watch Netflix during your service, and best of all she is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. Her shop is also very clean and inviting. I'm moving off island and can't bring her with me unfortunately, but I highly HIGHLY recommend her for any and all waxing needs. Thank you Cariann!! I'll miss you! read more

I have been going to Cariann for waxing services for about two years now and I cannot imagine anywhere else. I love her professionalism and caring and kind nature when getting waxed. Highly recommend read more

I've been a client of Carianns for about 10 years, and I wouldn't go to anyone else. There have been a couple times when she was on vacation that I had to go to another salon - but they don't compare to Carianns service, skill, and professionalism. I'm usually in & out in 15 mins! Perfect for my busy life! Thank you, Cariann! read more

Long time user on yelp but have never written a review. Considering how happy I am with my service from Cariann, I feel compelled to write one! She deserves 5 stars! Her shop is oh-so clean and she is very personable. Made me feel comfortable and getting a brazillian with her was quick and relatively painless - I'd say it was the least painful one of I've gotten out of the other waxers I've been to :) She's extremely timely, tidy, and organized. From making the appointment to going into the shop, the whole process was easy and thorough! read more

She's so good that i didn't need to bite a towel or something every time she strips it. It was amazingly fast and i have no other words to tell her than she's the best i had so far. Easy to make appointment.. Easy to talk to.. And gives you good advices on the after care! read more

Cariann is a natural at what she does. I've had a Brazilian done before and never wanted to do it ever again. However, Cariann comes off with a calming and reassuring demeanor. I've gotten my Brazilian, upper lip, and eyebrows done during my stay in Hawaii. During my Brazilian, she made sure to tell me exactly what she was doing and her hard wax had me in awe. I thought it was so cool and she even offered for me to take it home as a little souvenir (LOL). The hard wax reminded me of a green bell pepper, hehe. It saddens me that she is 2,000+ miles away for my waxing needs. As she mentioned, her business is moving onto bigger and better things and I'm proud of the direction her business is heading to. Go see her...you will not regret it! read more

Waxing by Cariann - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

*6 month update* Still an awesome place to go for all my hair removal needs! read more

Fantastic! Cariann is a true professional and runs a very clean and efficient business. She takes great pride and care to ensure her clients are taken great care of. read more

I have been going to Cari for years and with Covid happening this year, I had to take a break from her services until the island reopened. When it did, she took every precaution to keep us, her clients clean and safe. She takes information for contact tracing, requires a proper face covering during the entire time you're in the shop (except for upper lip waxing), she takes your temperature upon check-in and makes sure you sanitize your hands when you enter. I highly recommend her for anyone's waxing needs! Thank you for making our safety and waxing needs your top priority! read more

Cariann is amazing! Her vibes and energy is just so relaxing. Super easy to talk with. I'm so glad I chose to go to her for my first time waxing. Thank you for being awesome! read more

I've been going to Cariann for a long time and I can't believe that I'm posting a review only now. I want to say it's been 10 years and I feel like such a horrible client. Cariann, on the other hand, is amazing. Friendly, professional, hard-working, and knowledgeable...everything you would want and expect in this industry. I highly recommend her and you won't be disappointed! read more

Cariann is amazing! I've never gotten waxed before and she made me feel at home and helped me calm down. I was running very late to the appointment but she did her best to get me done fast! It hurts so bad but the results are phenomenal. I don't have to shave, EVER!!! I can even text her with questions and she is more than happy to help! I have referred her to all my friends and I can't wait to see the new shop! read more

Cari has always been a huge blessing to me and my wife. We have been with her for over 10 years now and have never had a bad experience with her. She is always amazing to work with and never says no when it comes to rescheduling our appointments. Cari is more than just our cosmetics provider, she is like family. We highly recommend her for your cosmetic needs. read more

There's a first time for everything, why not be it with someone who is knowledgable and has the bedside manner of a friend you've known for years? Reading all these reviews just reaffirmed and gave me comfort when I decided to have my first time with Cariann. (teehee) Nice and clean sanitary room with AC (it was especially awesome today because it was HOT). She explained step by step what she was going to do and used the soft wax first. The first two strips I'd have to say are the most painful because it was my first time. She did teach me a breathing method to make it less painful called, "blowing out." While she was doing her job, she was talking story with me, which really helped calm me down and made the process easier and faster. She had this hard wax thingy, which was really intriguing...haha you'll see what I mean. All the reviews are true, you really do feel like you're going over your friend's house. I think that with this kind of process, bedside manner is extremely important because it sets the tone and makes your visit easier. Cariann did an awesome job and I can't wait to be back! read more

9 MONTH UPDATE! I am still a regular with Cariann! Since my first visit back in May 2011 I have regularly gone to upkeep my Brazillian. Today I am still just as happy with Cariann's services as I was back then. She is always consistent in her work. Even as a regular customer I still get the same high quality service that I recieved the first time around. Everything is always very clean. In fact I have actually noticed a few upgrades! The procedure itself usually takes about 20-30 minutes so I am usually in and out in no time. She still uses the same procedure and two different waxes, and eases you through. A couple things I appreciate with Cariann though is that she is always willing to work with your scheduling! Makes the world of the difference for me as I have a tight schedule. Also that her customer service is superb. Visiting her for maintanence feels more like catching up with an old friend. She is very friendly and makes you forget the awkwardness of the situation. As I mentioned the first time I am not a small girl...I am extra thick and very self conscious but Cariann is very professional and makes the experience a good one. Is it still painful? Sure. But going back regularly thins the hair out and I can assure you that eases the pain by a whole lot. First time is always the worse after that the pain lessens with every visit. ***Lastly I requested she do my eyebrows and for the first time in too long my eyebrows are perfectly matched, nicely shaped, but still thick just like I like them. I wish I had asked her earlier. She did a great job and I am going to maintain them with her as well from now on. ^__^ read more

Pros: The temperature of the wax was perfect, No double dipping, I Loved the smell of the wax, it was nearly painless and she works fast :) Cons: I received a text from her 11 o'clock pm the night before my wax to tell me to download forms to bring in the next day. Every appointment I received a reminder text informing me of paying cash only and late fees and no show fees. I guess it felt " All Business " and lacked warmth which didn't feel very welcoming. And she was watching television during my wax :( As a customer, I like to feel pampered, not ignored. read more

Cariann is a godsend. Sure, it's a little strange to drive to a house in a residential neighborhood to get your lady parts primed, but hey, can you argue with a solid 5-star rating? I'd say not... Her business is located around the back and upstairs and is small, but very clean and professional. She's very good at making you feel comfortable. I was a first-time client and had no idea what to expect, but not only does she make an effort to get to know you but she also talks you through the process and (I love this) EXPLAINS why she does what she does and how to make it a little easier on yourself during the process. Did it hurt? Sure. Was it worth it? Absolutely. It's been a week and I've followed her guidelines for aftercare and have only had one ingrown hair start to pop up, which was quickly put down with a little cortisol cream and exfoliation. Pricing: I got a first-time Brazillian as well as lip/eyebrow wax and with her 15% new client discount it came to less than $60. Make sure you tip the girl! read more

If I could give her 10 stars I would! Her shop has such a good vibe. She was so professional, clean, friendly, and patient! Even in the middle of a pandemic she made everything from booking the appointment to payment easy, detailed, and efficient. Not to mention she made my eyebrows look AMAZING! Will definitely be going back to her and nowhere else ever again! read more

CARIANN!!! you are the best ever!!!! I found her from these wonderful YELP reviews. Everything that everyone has stated about her. It's hard to feel someone that you are comfortable with especially when they are all up in your lady parts. She made me feel like I've been friends with her for years. The waxing experience went by pretty quick. I was expecting it to be about 45 minutes, nope it was about 20 minutes. Yes I was a bit skeptical because it is out of her home but was amazed to see the little room she had set up for her waxing business. It is a cozy little room with AC. Oh yes you know how we need that nowadays with it being so hot. The room is really clean too. Her whole house is clean and tidy. She even has a waiting area which is really cute. I will be going back to her in the future. Parking you find on the street there is a lot, just park anywhere. When I left it was so weird I for some reason wanted to hug her because she made me feel like we were friends catching up LOL. read more

Cariann is wonderful. So wonderful in fact that as soon as I was finished with my appointment, I got in my car and called my best friend to tell her to switch from Paul Brown's to Cariann. In a moment of desperation I was searching yelp for someone to get a wax from and I stumbled across Cariann and frantically called her. I got a text back from her almost immediately and scheduled an appointment for the next day. I was a little skeptical because I'd read that she waxes out of her home, but my skepticism went out the window within 3 minutes of meeting her. She was very professional and does not double dip the sticks in the wax. She made me feel very comfortable, or at least, as comfortable you can be when you're exposing yourself, but still. Where as some places leave your lady parts completely exposed the whole time, she makes an effort to keep you covered as much as possible, which is nice. Cariann is so sweet and the time goes by quickly and relatively painlessly. Her prices are really reasonable and she gives discounts for your first time, when you refer a friend, and when you fill a stamp card. The stars don't lie. Cariann definitely deserves 5! Best esthetician ever! read more

Being addicted to thong bikinis comes at a price, but thankfully, since I found Cariann, that price isn't really all that high! I had been going to a place in Pearlridge mall for my brazilian waxes, and I would always leave with an exceptionally sore lady area and an extremely light wallet. My friend told me about Cariann, and I was a little skeptical with her working out of her home, but on my first visit, I felt silly for even thinking that! It was extremely clean and comfortable, and Cariann is very personable and fun. And now, what everyone worries about: The pain. Brazilians hurt. There is really no way around that. That being said, Cariann works very quickly and has a breathing method that completely takes your mind off of it. She uses a combination of hard and soft wax, so that it's easier to handle. I have never had pain after leaving and even during the waxing, it is 100 times more comfortable than my experiences with other estheticians. She always works with my schedule and is very flexible and her pricing is awesome. She also uses a punch card system that offers discounts for referalls and every 5th wax. Cariann only accepts Cash, so make sure you bring it! I have forgotten before, and I had to drive down the road to the ATM. Not fun. Parking is always available on the street. read more

Cariann saved my beach day! Luckily, she was available for a same day appointment so I was able to see her within the hour (I received voicemails from many of the other salons I called). My aesthetician in San Francisco also works out of her home so I am pretty comfortable with it. But being away from home for a month now, I was a little nervous to go to a new waxing specialist. Cariann made me feel extremely comfortable right away though. She is professional, very conscientious about hygiene (no double dipping) and she took the time to explain her process. Now, I can go to the beach without feeling like Miranda from Sex in the City. Thanks, Cariann! read more

I love Cariann and her services. I've tried various places to get my 'you know' waxed and she has made the best impression. Since then, she's the only one I trust with this duty. Her room is clean and sanitary, she uses gloves and is very gentle (well, as gentle as it gets, we all know waxing can be painful). She gives great advice on what to do in between maintenance. She has great prices and is now taking credit/debit cards, so it's really convenient. read more

This review is way way long overdue. To sum it up: Nothing short of fantastic. I actually look forward to waxing appointments. It feels more like I'm going to a friend's house to chat instead of getting your hair ripped out of your skin. :) The prices are fantastic, and she gives a lot of great advice to help ease the pain that I didn't get from other places, and she's even dispelled myths about things to do pre-waxing, and tells you the real dos and don'ts involved with the process.. And on top of that, the sessions go by so quickly. By the time it's over, you're like "That's it?" And then you book your next appointment for 3-4 weeks later, because once you go to Cariann, you will instantly become a regular. As for the session itself, it's very hygienic. She uses a new stick for each wax application and always wears gloves. She blows on the wax so that it isn't too hot and so that it doesn't burn or irritate your skin too much. And something else that I really like about her is that she always says sorry and apologizes if you have discomfort because of any tugging or heat. She's very sympathetic to her customers and tries her very best to make it the most painless experience possible, and that's something that I never got from any other salon. I've even been to one place (which I will not name) where the lady literally told me "yeah, it'll hurt, so you've got to suck it up." Never again! She's mentioned to me that she's thinking of opening up an actual salon, so when that happens the location will change. So for those of you who feel skeptical about the location being at a house, the salon location will be a better fit. In addition to that, she's always making upgrades and occasionally tests new products to find the best fit for her costumers. And now as of a few months ago she accepts card! So if you're not the type to carry cash with you or stop by the ATM before appointments, the card will help make things a lot more convenient. If you haven't gone to see Cariann yet, just go. You will definitely not be disappointed. But good luck getting an appointment because as you can see from all of these yelp reviews, she has quite a few regulars. ;) read more

I have just had my first appointment with Cariann and it was the most comfortable experience I have had getting waxed. Even I have only ever had my eyebrows done before it was still more comfortable with Cariann than anyone else. This was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and when I came to yelp and read all the good reviews. They were all true. She texted me back quickly and gave me plenty of open appointments for the next day. Her house wasn't hard to find and parking was pretty easy. Just remember to bring cash because she doesn't take credit cards. read more

I just got waxed from Cariann today. It was awesome. I'm addicted to Brazilian waxes but they've gotten so costly. And there are many places that I've been to that are just too "mean" to be that pricey! But Cariann's prices are decent, and her service was truly great. She works out of her home, so I really didn't expect too much...you get what you pay for....but her waxing room is very nice. Professional waxing table and flat screen TV with a mirror so you can see from any angle. It was actually nicer than some spa's I've been waxed at. I emailed and called her so last minute and was so happy when she called me back. Honestly I was looking for someone who could take me ASAP and conveniently she was close to where I lived. But I do believe that things happen for a reason because she is my new favorite person. She is in Salt Lake which is great since most places are in town. I def recommend her for nani waxes. I also did my brows and upper lip. I almost did my legs, but the hair just wasn't long enough. I was like a kid in a candy store...what can I say, I love friendliness, professionalism, and she's just talented!!!! Yeah for Cariann!!! read more

We found Cariann on Yelp. Her house was easy to find, very close to the Aloha stadium. She was very thorough and insisted on educating me on what was going on before we even started. She was gentle (as you can be in a bikini wax) and used a breathing technique that actually helped. She uses soft and hard wax. She only dips the sticks ONCE! Very sanitary. Very good price! First time customers get a discount. She has a punch card and referrals also warrant a discount. read more
