I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brows and Bushes at Nueve Salon and Spa, and I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Lisa, who truly made the entire visit exceptional. Booking my appointment was an absolute breeze thanks to their use of Vagaro, an online platform that's so user-friendly I was able to pick a time slot that worked perfectly for my busy schedule in just a few clicks. What I loved even more was discovering the variety of packages they offer, which made it easy to bundle services like brow shaping and waxing at a great value, saving me both time and money. Lisa offers such a wide range of services, from precise eyebrow threading to full-body waxing, and I was blown away by the options available to customize my treatment exactly how I wanted it. Lisa's skills and techniques are excellent. She's clearly a master at her craft, with an attention to detail that left my brows looking perfectly sculpted and my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Every step of the process showcased her expertise, whether she was shaping my brows with precision or ensuring the waxing was as comfortable as possible, and I could tell she's truly passionate about delivering top-notch results. Beyond her technical abilities, Lisa is incredibly personable and conversational, which made the entire experience feel so warm and welcoming. She took the time to chat with me about my preferences, shared some great tips for maintaining my brows, and kept the conversation light and fun, like catching up with a good friend, which made the time fly by. The location of Brows and Bushes is super convenient, right in a central spot that's easy to get to, and I had no trouble finding parking, which is always a huge plus in a busy area. The business is tucked away in a private room on the second floor of Nueve Salon and Spa, which gives it a cozy, exclusive vibe, though I should note there's no elevator, so you'll need to climb a flight of stairs to get there. The private room itself was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing experience, and I appreciated how Lisa made it feel like a little oasis despite being part of a larger salon. Overall, my visit to Brows and Bushes was an absolute delight, and Lisa's combination of professionalism, warmth, and skill has made me a loyal client--I can't wait to book my next appointment and try more of her amazing services! read more

Decided to try a new place for waxing/shaping my eyebrows and I am happy that I found this place through yelp! It was also easy to book through the varago? Vargo? app and select the services. Convenient location and great reviews! It's in the same building as the musubi place and you can park on the side of the building - I didn't know there was extra parking besides the ones fronting the businesses. It's upstairs, right next to nueve salon and you can park in unmarked stalls or the ones that are marked for nueve salon. Lisa was so nice and friendly. Also efficient and I liked that she explained what she was going to do before and after. I did eyebrows and full face wax, it was also the first time I waxed my nose hairs lol. I think she also does lamination, lash lifts and permanent brows. Nice clean and comfortable space! Found my new go to wax salon yay! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LISA!! Yesterday was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and at first I was super nervous and scared of the pain but Lisa made sure everything was quick and easy and next thing you know, the pain wasn't so bad. During the entire appointment, Lisa made very good conversation and she has an overall friendly and non-judgmental vibe. She is very funny . Overall, as a first time goer, I would 100% come again to get my Brazilian wax and even try out other waxing services! read more

Brows and Bushes - Just the waiting area - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lisa is probably my favorite waxer I've ever had and I've been getting waxed for almost 10 years. She is very kind, accommodating, and queer-friendly. She's made the booking process easy for me when I've had issues with the website and helped ease my partner in for their first waxing experience. Clean, professional space that is very aesthetic. Highly recommend to anyone, especially queer folx! read more

Was visiting Honolulu for vacation and needed a clean up. Lisa was so kind and fun to speak with. I'm a plus sized lady, so Brazilian appointments can be awkward with some practitioners. But Lisa was so non judgemental and so kind. It was done quickly and was very comfortably. I think she has the best table I've ever been on. If you are a local or a visitor, make an appointment. Lisa was so professional! read more

Brows and Bushes - Waxing aftercare - Waxing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The reason I keep coming back to Lisa is because she is a professional. Top of the list, her salon is very hygienic. The salon is clean and 've never seen her double dip her wax stick. She also makes you feel very comfortable thru her easy going personality. Yet you can tell that she is an intelligent individual. Making me feel confident in her choice of products and techniques in her practice. To find her salon. Go to the second floor of the complex. Go up the stairs from the musubi place. Make a left. Look for the hair salon in the complex. It's the door just before it. Her salon is an offshoot from the hair salon. read more

I've been going to Brows and Bushes for over a year, based on a recommendation from my previous waxer on Big Island. She recommended Lisa, as I was moving islands. Lisa is amazing. read more

I can't stop staring at my brows!!! They're so pretty! I wanted to try lamination for the first time because my brows were horrible and I did not know how to shape them properly. Lisa was so sweet and helped me with answering my questions and did an AMAZING job at making my brow dreams come true. Never have I once seen my brows actually look this nice and I'm so glad I found someone to make them look the way I wanted. Thank you so much Lisa!!! I can't wait to see you again! read more

My go to spot for keeping my face clean! I'm so bad at keeping my eyebrows under control so big thanks to Lisa for helping me stay fresh! Will keep coming back! Clean environment and great prices! read more

I got a Brazilian + hydrojelly mask and the results are amazing! Hands down the best and most glamorous experience getting waxed! Lisa is so sweet, and her studio is so cute and clean! Thank you Lisa! Definitely coming back, and have been recommending you to all my friends! read more

Great waxing experience in a super cute and clean salon. Lisa is very friendly, makes sure you're comfortable and works quickly. Great hard wax experiment and will definitely be back. read more

If you're going up the middle stairs (by Karen's Kitchen), enter through the first door to your left. Got confused at first because there were two doors under the Nueva Salon and Spa sign and I first went through the salon side which was closer to the end corner. Had a great experience with Lisa! She was very friendly, easy to talk to and I liked how she always explained what she was going to do next. I went in for a brow and lip wax, my first wax in a long time and there was no redness afterward. She also shaped my eyebrows perfectly! read more

I'm sure the services are fine, but the web platform (Vagaro) is not user friendly at all, especially from a phone. Once I was finally able to create an account, it then flagged me as a return customer so I was unable to get the first time discount. Frustrating. read more

LISA is probably the most nicest esthetician I've encountered. I got the brazilian and it was far from being painful. Literally! She did not double dip and used a new wax strip every time. At the end she also used a tweezer to remove the stubborn hairs. I can't wait to keep coming back here for all my self care needs. read more

I got a leg and underarm wax after going WAAAYYYY too long from shaving. I've been adhering to COVID safety guidelines, so when choosing a waxing service I wanted to make sure I'd feel safe and comfortable during my service, and I'm so happy Self Beauty Studio checked all the boxes! I booked via IG (@selfbeautystudiohi) and was sent a COVID questionnaire and some waivers prior to my appointment. When I arrived (she is located within Nueve Salon and Spa) I was the only guest in the studio, and got let in by Lisa who is the owner and esthetician of Self. She took my temperature, made sure I filled out the proper info prior to beginning service, and brought me to the service room. Being that her business is just starting the room is very simple and clean; her backbar station is neat and includes hand sanitizer and a sink. The service was quick and relatively painless - I was very happy with the results, and commented on how moisturized my skin felt compared to previous waxes where my skin felt dry or raw afterwards. I highly recommend giving Lisa a try, especially if she has a special going on (I've seen them occasionally on her IG). read more

I got my eyebrows done here while I had a stop over in Honolulu and it was great! Lisa is amazing, it felt like she did it so effortlessly and quickly. It was my first time getting my eyebrows waxed rather than threaded and this experience has persuaded me to go with waxing. She also kindly recommended places to visit while I was in the area which was very kind! I'm super sad this can't be my regular spot to go to since I don't live in Honolulu but I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in town!:) read more

I've been here a couple of times to get a lash tint and it's been great for me. First, Lisa is extremely nice and makes me feel very comfortable throughout my entire appointment and check out. She has A/C, free parking, music, and a cute studio as well. Mainly, the lash tint lasts me about 5 weeks and I don't have to wear any mascara when I would normally use mascara daily - Such a time saver and looks better! read more

Self Beauty Studio is one of the few places I have gone to for self care since the start of the Pandemic. The studio space was so clean and bright! I had my lower legs, under arms, and brows done and it was amazing! Lisa is an expert waxer who works super fast and efficiently. I have particularly hard hairs to pull because my hair is blonde to the point of almost invisible and she didn't miss any! I was also impressed with her hard wax, I have extremely sensitive skin and had much less of a reaction to my brows being waxed than I have ever had. Make an appointment! It will be worth it! read more

I just had the best customer experience with Lisa for my waxing appointment. The salon is clean and welcoming and definitely present a relaxing comfortable vibe for their clients. Lisa was so friendly! This is the first time of my life to have zero pain bikini wax service. I highly recommend Lisa and definitely will refer her to all my friends! read more

Lisa is seriously the best wax professional I've ever had. Highly professional, hygienic, quick (yet detail oriented), and super personable! The studio is also very clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. Come to Lisa for all your waxing needs! You won't regret it, and will likely permanently switch to her like me :) read more

Lisa took great care of me and has execellent customer service! super friendly as well! 100/10 recommend her if you need a wax or any of her services! read more

Lisa is super clean, professional, bubbly and did an amazing job with my wax! Definitely seeing her every month from now on!

I won a free Brazilian wax on her IG @selfbeautystudiohi booked it before my birthday and her professionalism and warm presence made me more happy that I won her giveaway. I felt safe that she followed COVID protocols, filled out a survey answered questions (which was fast and easy) and checked my temperature. She also emailed me my confirmation of appt and sent over the forms to fill out. Her studio is super easy to find. Definitely going back to her with all my wax needs. #supportlocalbusinesses read more

Lisa was amazing! I scheduled an appointment with Lisa for eyebrow waxing, tinting, and laminating. She was amazing about getting back to me with appointment times and availability. Very easy to book appointments via her website. The day of my appointment there was some construction being done in front of her business. She sent me a text a few hours before my scheduled time with a picture of the blocked off area. She informed me that I would still be able to park in the parking lot located either in front of or on the side of the building. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Waxing was pain free and I absolutely loved the way my eyebrows turned out! I have very thin eyebrows that are quite sparse. This was my first time trying eyebrow laminating and tinting. I left her studio looking like I had a full set of brows! AMAZING! Lisa is so friendly and so skilled at what she does! Go check her out! So happy I found her! read more

Went to get a upper lip and underarm waxing at self beauty. Lisa was super nice and welcoming and did a fantastic job. There was plenty of parking outside in the front and inside was super clean and tidy. Definitely will be back again! read more

I can't say enough good things about this beauty studio. The waxing suite is roomy, clean and beautifully decorated. Lisa is an experienced waxer and she did my Brazilian in less than 15 minutes! So quick, so skilled, and she didn't leave any hairs behind. She's so sweet too! If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars. read more
