Walking through Windward Mall, I saw a familiar name right next to Target on the ground level: Tanoa I remember this local small business when they were at Ohana Hale Marketplace on Ward Avenue in Honolulu! After that Marketplace shut down, Tanoa found a new home at Pearlridge Center. Later, they expanded to Ala Moana, and now, Windward Mall! Good job! All of the employees were friendly and welcoming! I asked about the discounted items and about the dressing room. Each answer was helpful! I didn't find anything in my high school colors (I'm thinking ahead to our annual luau), but I did find items that I tried on. There were several interesting prints! They even had accessories like hair clips and other merchandise like purses. I'll keep looking every so often. The styles are fashionable and comfortable!

I wanted something meaningful as a centerpiece, so I designed a large wall banner and turned to Hybrid Design to bring it to life on a 5x7 vinyl banner. They delivered beyond expectations. I emailed them my image file one afternoon and the banner was ready the very next morning. Tai, the owner, stayed in touch throughout, keeping me updated and asking all the right questions. When my wife Lisa and I picked it up, Mark greeted us warmly and helped us figure out the best way to mount it. The quality was outstanding. The vinyl was thick and durable, and the image looked like a photo, crisp, vibrant, and professional. Their pricing was fair and the turnaround time couldn't have been better. We were truly impressed by the friendliness, speed, and attention to detail from the entire Hybrid Design team. Lisa and I are officially customers for life. If you need printing done, whether banners, signs, clothing, hats, or design work, give Hybrid Design a call. They are conveniently located in Kakaʻako and genuinely care about getting it right.

We are vacationing in Hawaii staying in Waikiki. While walking around the Hilton I discovered…read moreKaiKoa Gallery tucked away from the mainstream of the corridor which caught my eye so I walked inside to check it out. The gallery sizeable with a vast array of contemporary Hawaiian landscapes to modern art using different types of mediums. Robert was very helpful to give us a tour of the pieces telling us about specific pieces that caught our attention. It's a colorful gallery with much to offer those that come inside. Thank you for making us feel welcome in the gallery. Before deciding to post a review I did read some of the reviews and saw that not everyone felt welcome. Please remember to spread the ALOHA spirit KaiKoa Gallery.

So shame to have that in a Hilton property and have NO ALOHA in hawaii. A guy greeted us and I thought he was another patron that just came from the beach. Not presentable at all. Plain black t-shirt, beach looking hair, not well put together. He was discouraging us from staying if we had no intention to buy & I have kids. The kids thing I respect because there's people that let theirs run wild, but not me & this guy is a witness to that cause I scolded mine in front of him telling them to stay close. Anyways, as a niece of a musician and teacher who lives in & is close family friends with the WEALTHY in Los Angeles, I was raised to appreciate art & with my son who's quite artistic himself, I figured visiting this place would help feed the soul, but NOPE! No pictures allowed but someone who left a review took a picture and posted it. Where's your response to them to scold them? You're so all about "respecting" the artists by shaming people that are just looking and can't appreciate their work. Btw based on multiple sources from searching "gallery etiquette" to educate myself and verify what this guy said, because I was listening respectfully - this guy is just a jerk (to put it nicely). Google is free. Don't let him fool you.

Whether you're framing, artwork, certificates, or something sentimental, this is definitely the place to go. Local service with quality you can trust.

In planning his funeral, I…read morerealized I didn't have a nice formal picture of him for display next to his closed casket except his last military exit photo taken when he retired 10 years earlier. Jerry framed it with a double mat, museum glass & beautiful black wooden frame. Everyone said it was a beautiful picture & I even found fingerprints on the glass as people said they could not believe it had a glass over it. Jerry has done other framings for me which friends have admired. I have also ordered double mats to use with frames from Amazon for my diamond painting craze. I thought I could frame them with double mats purchased online. However Jerry charges the same as the online except I didn't have to pay for the outrageous shipping charges. I keep going back to Jerry for his fantastic framing & advice for more than 15 years.

Many of our favorite local businesses were not as fortunate. Todd is very efficient and will get back to you on questions and orders very quickly and I really appreciate that. Their prices by far are the cheapest on the island and their workmen ship and quality of work is something to truly take pride in. We have been ordering Polo shirts from them for years and I am amazed at their commitment to providing quality work no matter the size of the order. Turnaround time is quick or they will tell you upfront and if your not sure what brand or type of product to purchase great suggestions are given. I have many work Polo shirts that were purchased and not one has fallen apart or changed color. Embroidery is 100% on point, plus there are tons of colors to choose from. Despite their great price I have experienced no shrinkage or out of shape Polo shirts and after many many washes my Polo shirts still look amazing.

After seeing some of her incredible pieces on Insta & Etsy, I reached out to her about our place cards. Michelle shared a few different place card ideas that fit with our wedding vibes & it was hard to pick just one because they were all amazing. We went with clear, plexiglass hexagons that included our guests' names in gold calligraphy. Not only was Michelle extremely communicative, but she also went above & beyond by asking about ink color, sharing sketches with different font options, and recommending we include the last initial for duplicate guest names. As a bride with a million details running through her mind at any given moment, it was great to know Michelle was thinking through all the details of my place cards and I could focus on other things. The place cards turned out perfect and Michelle shipped them with so much love and care all the way from Hawaii (we live in San Diego, CA). Each place card was wrapped in protective, upcycled paper to make sure it arrived safely to our home, and later, the wedding venue. I highly recommend Michelle to any couple who is looking for an organized & creative artist that can make your wedding a truly unique experience. And I'm already dreaming up another opportunity to work with Michelle again!

It was such a bummer for that Yeti was my favorite because it was the right shade of Pink and a limited edition color. However Michelle's art work literally made me forget about color and instead made me realize the beauty in her artwork. Juniper Calligraphy is that one business that is literally RARE to find. Why? Because this business has a heart for their customers and actually CARES. And that's the exact reason on out of all the businesses out there, I chose specifically Juniper Calligraphy. Michelle has made my new Yeti really special to me and i will cherish it for the rest of my life. Thank you you so much.
