John's name comes up right away in these reviews, and lo and behold, he was the first SA that greeted me when I walked in, and eventually helped me with my purchase. My typical Chanel routine is a once over of the store, while telling my SA what I'm kind of looking for, if anything specific. Usually, I want to say that when I see something that catches my eye right away, or "wows" me, that's usually it. Done deal. With these prices, you either love it, or it's not worth buying, IMHO. Of course, John quickly informed me that there were no regular minis in store. It's a pretty large store, so you have to walk all the way down. Back there was where I saw more of the color schemes/styles I was looking for. Backpacks, and smaller bags resembling minis. And a very beautiful hand-crystalled evening beauty that I could not come to purchase... But I also left with something else beautiful in a dark slate color with brushed GHW. More neutral, and versatile. It was a great experience overall, quick and satisfying! read more

I had a lovely experience with Chanel and with my SA Siulo. She went above and beyond to make sure we had an exceptional experience in every way. She found the bag of my dreams and treated us with professionalism and respect. They have a wonderful inventory of special items. Thank you so much for such an amazing shopping experience. read more

Even the quality is going down, but I still love Chanel. I just have a walk around at a day before my vacation ended. So, I stop by the bouquet to see if they have any small, interesting thing. With high touristy area most good stuff is already gone or some that still there are very expensive or exclusive so it will be a chunk of money for the items that still remains. I finally got a pair of earrings, very simple for everyday wear and light weight. Many of my Chanel earrings are in a heavy side so when you wear them for long hours it will hurt your ears. SA is very sweet to me so any bag or jewelry I'm looking for I can also text her then if she has it in the store, she can ship it to me to NYC. read more

I was repeatedly lied to by a sales associate here. Not only did he not know what he was talking about, he also was blatantly speaking down to us!! First after we asked about whether there was a Hawaii discount (there isn't), he went on to claim there were NEVER sales at Chanel. This is completely untrue and I told him so. Then he claimed those sales were for shoes only, which I told him was also untrue as they include apparel. Trying to mansplain Chanel to me is frankly insane. We also asked about buying a specific purse, and without even checking the inventory he claimed they had none, as they sell out promptly. We mentioned Ala Moana had one days ago and he seemed surprised, and made no offer to help us check inventory there or order it from there. We later went to Ala Moana, and they had FOUR. We wondered whether he even told the truth about not having it, or just didn't bother checking. Then, he saw my Chanel ring and asked where I got it. When I answered I bought it vintage/secondhand, he looked down on me!! Then he tried again to mansplain, saying that white gold degrades over time and yellows if you keep polishing it. Sir, I did not ask!!! And I explained that for that reason white gold owners know to rhodium plate their pieces as routine care to keep it white, and we promptly left after we were done being treated like vermin. We literally drove to the Chanel at Ala Moana to buy a pair of sunglasses and the purse we wanted the same day because we did not want to give this man our business read more

Chanel - Waikiki - Chanel purchases from Ala Moana after being treated rudely at Waikiki - Accessories Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

When deciding on what island to experience I specifically picked Honolulu and the Waikiki area because I wanted to go to this Chanel store. I had heard through bloggers that you save a bit on tax when shopping here than Mainland USA. I've always heard they are rude. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton which is around the corner from Chanel. I could see the back of the store from my hotel balcony. We decided to go in the first day we arrived. I was very anxious and hoping they had the bag I wanted. My husband and I walked in and not one person even said hello to us. I've been to many different high fashion stores to shop and they usually greet you or are at least friendly. Not here. We wandered around a bit until an older lady asked if we needed help. I stated yes, she then goes to the front to a younger women and asked her to assist us. After that we were given a few options but I was there for a specific bag. Luckily they had it! I was so excited. While waiting for her to pack it we were offered water which was a bit off putting. I've spent 10k in Givenchy on 5th ave and received rounds of champagne, does Chanel not do that? All in all nice experience very happy to have my bag. read more

I've been to multiple Chanel boutiques all over the world and honestly I don't think I've seen an inventory as vast as the one in Waikiki which I was very surprised about. Our sales associate Ray was very helpful. I've been searching for these two bags I've been wanting for years and was over the moon when he told me they carried them. Definitely my favorite boutique. read more

Chanel - Waikiki - Shout out to Ray my SA for helping me find my dream bags. - Accessories Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Wife couldn't decide if she wanted another Chanel bag or another VCA jewelry. We decided to check out Chanel first and the sales here help us decide within the first minute. Ask if there was anything new and was told Chanel rarely makes anything new. Any new colors this year? No! So we ended up with a new VCA bracelet. The difference in service is night and day. VCA is in Neiman Marcus at ala moana mall which we also visited the Chanel boutique there with in-laws where she bought a Chanel bag. Ala Moana is much better service. read more

Picked out a card case with Yuko. She was very helpful and welcoming! This store staff was very nice and attentive. Would recommend this location, they had a lot of styles and options for the smaller items. read more

My son and I stopped in this Chanel location after happy hour nearby. Zero wait, we walked right in and were happily greeted the second we did so. I was looking for a specific patent belt bag. They didn't have it but service was super attentive, friendly and quick. Every question I had was answered immediately and I was presented with options within seconds at various counters. It didn't give off what I'd consider to be typical Chanel vibes, you can totally tell it's an island store and you very clearly are not in France. I didn't make a purchase as I wasn't blown away by their current options but it was certainly worth checking in on what they did have. I'm surprised by some of the poor reviews because had they had what I was looking for service and location are totally 5 star. Highly recommend a visit, as they may have what you're looking for. read more

I was searching for the boy bag/gold hardware in black for awhile and had no luck in San Diego. I tried the Ala Moana location first but they only had pastel colors, which were cute but not the vibe I was looking for. Took a chance checking out the Waikiki location and found one on the shelf!! At first no one helped me until I made a gasp when I saw the bag, lol. Got to try on other bags and looked at matching wallets. I forgot the name of who helped me but she was a super sweet young Asian lady. She was super accommodating and offered alternatives for wallets but I really wanted the Caviar gold card holder. She called me 2-3 weeks after my bag purchase to let me know they got one in stock and offered to ship it to me! One of the best luxury bag advisors I've met. Definitely coming back here when I want another bag! read more

Veery high end customer service. Super friendly staff. I was indecisive and the sales people over there are not pushy they give you time to think about it. I ask for the lady to put one item on the side. She explained me that we usually don't do stuff like this so I came back after one hour and got it. Overall, very happy with the purchase and I also got a good deal read more

Great customer service and product selections. No sales pressure and very professional

I was incredibly nervous coming to this location due to the trashy reviews but I came in 6 minutes shy of closing and actually received great customer service. Siulo was very honest and thorough with helping me select a bag. She explained how the chain length in the Chanel 19 bag is not adjustable so for people standing at 5 feet 1 inch it'll be too long. I'm so glad she told me this because at the Ala Moana location I was not told this. Siulo made my first experience in purchasing a Chanel flawless and I would definitely be back due to her! Thank you so much. I bought this for my sister but I really want one for myself now so torn!! read more

I was soooo excited for my trip to Honolulu bc my wonderful SA (Ikuyo) found one of my dream bags for me! She was able to secure the bag for me in advance and we set up a time to meet to pick up the bag when I arrived to the island. She was so kind and informative. She packaged the bag so securely that I felt bad unboxing it! The packaging was actually even better than the packaging I received while I was in France! My experience in the store was honestly great. It was really quiet in the store which I appreciated (it's nice to have some space with covid and everything). They have a great system where they directed us into a waiting room for our SA. Once my SA was available, she walked me and my husband to the back to view my bag privately. She even saved another item that she thought I would like in addition to the bag! Unfortunately, I had something very similar to it already so I had to kindly decline. I felt absolutely no pressure to have to purchase anything. Highly recommend coming here if you're in town and love Chanel! read more

CHANEL cannot never provide bad service. Went in with my sister in law and she wanted the classic. We walked in with all 7 of us, kids and all. They were so nice to us and allowed the kids to sit on the jewelry side while we finished on the purse side. Original my sister in law tried on the purse, loved it and hesitated to buy. She got the salesperson's card and walked to get the kids. Salesperson didn't have an issue at all. Told us to come Back or contact her if she decides. Then my sister in law realized that she wanted and the tax in HI was cheaper than CA. And we are back to talk to the salesperson again but this time to buy. Still so nice. Everyone of the person on CHANEL. She got it, all wrapped pretty and in its box with the authentic card. We walked out with a very happy shopper! read more

Very attentive and super friendly!! I was able to get a couple bags for myself and a few accessories that I've find extremely exclusive.. I am glad I stopped by read more

Uncomfortable experience at best. Security had us wait outside for a few moments before entering, which I was used to because they also did this at the Ala Moana location while they were securing a personal SA. However, when I stepped inside, there was no personal SA. Most of them were standing along the wall either conversing with each other or on their phones. I walked around for a little bit before a man approached me and I told him I wanted to see their card holders. He brought out the tray and continued chatting with his coworker. I did find one I liked, but didn't bother pursuing it further since I did not want to purchase from this location (as hard as it is to come across inventory you're looking for). I'd much rather take my business elsewhere. Definitely recommend the Ala Moana location over this one. read more

I had the most bizarre experience at this boutique. I was shopping for boots and asked the SA, Don Le, if he could bring out a pair in my size to try on. I usually wear a women's 8.5 and so I asked for the European equivalent size - either a 39.5 or 40. Don looked at me aghast and told me my feet were 'very big' and much larger than the standard customer that shops at this particular boutique and, as a result, they did not have the boots in my size. He told me to go back to the mainland where I might have better luck finding shoes in my size. WTF? First of all, since when is women's 8.5 an abnormally large shoe size? I didn't have a problem purchasing shoes in my size at any of the other luxury boutiques I visited on my trip... Most importantly, why would a SA ever think it's ok to comment on someone's body by telling them they have big feet? So rude! Why not just let me know they're out of stock in my size instead of going on and on about my shoe size? Utterly bizarre. I won't be returning. read more

Came in the Chanel store on Kalakaua Ave. on a Friday afternoon. There were 2 other people in the store and "security" asked us to wait outside! Really?? The store had more staff then customers! I completely understand having too many people in a store to limit shoplifters but what the heck!! So we finally get in and were asked to clean our hands with the alcohol gel... umm ok but the stupid thing didn't work . I thought it was funny how all the high end stores in Waikiki had us clean our hands before we walked in the store!! OMG if they only knew I'm obsessed with clean hands and I'm a nurse practitioner!! Anyway... we made a purchase and at the end the clerk asked if we wanted a bag for our purchase because it cost 15 cents, we are like yes!! WTF!!! How cheap can this store be!! I understand this is how Hawaii is with bags but Geeze!!!! read more

I came here on vacation and was looking for a pair of earrings. My prior experiences with other Chanels were not as delightful as the experience I had here with Eunice. She wad not very pushy at all and was very kind. She happily showed me everything I wanted to see without getting upset or annoyed that I didn't like everything. I ended up purchasing a pair of earrings, 2 hair perfumes, and 1 cologne from her. I got her contact information and asked her to let me know if she gets any other earrings in stock that I was looking for, and instead of just sending me everything, she really listened to what I like and sent me pairs that matched what I was looking for. I ended up ordering another pair with her and this probably won't be the last! Thank you Eunice for your kindness and help! read more

Shout out to Ray for being an awesome SA! Very informative and gave me space and time to decide. He didn't hover and was very personable. Love my new pre fall 23 CC treasure WOC in light brown. Lastly, I love that I didn't have to stand in line for an hour just to get in (ahem, south coast plaza lol) . read more

On our vacation we came back to this store 3 days in a row because of the impeccable service John Vu provided. He was very kind and patient. I'd give him 10 Stars if Yelp would allow. Selection was decent for bags, taking into consideration that most Chanel items are limited these days. read more

We decided to walk in to see what this store has compared to the stores in California with no intention to buy. It was late, and we were not exactly agreeable after a long day of tour. Nevertheless, Ray greeted us immediately without judgement and with a big smile. We briefly walked around the store twice, and Ray knew I had my eyes on the small boy chevron in ivory/white. Without asking him, Ray took out a navy blue just to show me how it looks on the inside. I tend to shy away from touching any of the Chanel purses (based on past experience at South Coast, where I was forced to wear a glove), but Ray was completely easy going about it. We had a brief discussion about size, colors and so forth, and ended the night letting him know that I would think about it. Unlike most, who would be disgruntled and annoyed by this point, Ray was completely understanding and pleasant. He wasn't pushy, whatsoever. Fast forward, we decided to go back. Since Ray was busy with a customer, another lady helped us figure out the color and size. She was so really accommodating and sweet. When we finally decided, she made sure that there was a new one in stock, and Ray made sure that I got a dust bag that went with it. Thank you Chanel for the amazing, speedy service. Most definitely would come back the next time we visit Hawaii! read more

I popped into this store to bet my luck on finding a flat card holder (in the color and style) that I've been looking for for years. The store was fully stocked with SLGs and Spring collection bags. I went earlier in the day, so it was less crowded. I was assisted by John when I first walked in. John was patient and easy to work with. Finally got what I have been looking for. I later came back to purchase another SLG from the Spring collection as it's too cute to pass up. I truly believe it makes a huge difference in who you work with as I've had a lot of experiences with SAs who are less than helpful or patient in other boutiques. The staff in the store were very friendly and welcoming too. I eventually plan to buy a bag from Chanel and I'm pretty sure I'll return to this boutique and make an appt with John when I visit Hawaii again. read more

Thankyou to You , Adriana , for helping me to select the most perfect gift while I was visiting this store . It's always a challenge to shop for other people so your knowledge and patience made by experience painless . This is my first Chanel purchase and I'm sure it won't be the last . read more

I would personally love to give a shout out to the advisor, John Vu. He has the professionalism and the definition of what an advisor should be at a luxury store. He has been incredibly patience since the beginning I set foot in the store and guiding me. When issues arises, he didn't shy away from the problem or stop answering my phone calls... he actually took his professionalism to the next level and did whatever he could in his power to solve the problem. Big shoutout again to John Vu and his management staff at this store. read more

The SA were so snobby and rude. They gave me an up and down look , I was carrying my SumiSumi Uniqlo tote and maybe that was offensive to them but it's so kawaii so IDC what you guys think. It's really unnecessary to look at customers or just anyone with such disdain that it actually made me feel bad. We took our business elsewhere. read more

Wifey wanted the Chance perfume. Happy Wife happy life... so there I was, cruising Waiks. Strolled into Chanel where a security guard all suited up like Secret Service opened the door and smiled politely. The walls are dressed with glam, floors tiled and ceilings high... It's Chanel. The fragrances of perfume and leather swirl around your nasal and it smells like money.the people are are very knowledgeable and nice. Extremely helpful and polite. Questions? Just ask. For answers, they have. I was a lost soul swimming in a fish bowl, but with the guidance of the sales professionals, I left a happy customer. Thank you Chanel. read more

I'm a Chanel fan and shop pretty much exclusively at the Ala Moana location. This location is Waikiki is just plain weird--I've perused this place a few times with my bf, and the SA's just weird me out. They just hang around like they have nothing better to do except chat amongst themselves, or look at their phones. And, on the rare occasions when they're tried "assisting," it was only for a short while before they just wandered off and assumed it wasn't worth their time. Ever wonder why this location is pretty darn empty on many occasions? Well, the service is almost non-existent. Just off-putting and makes me raise my eyebrows in incredulity--and not in a good way. read more

I just went to this store 11/21 at 7:30pm and sales person Jeff is not very friendly. 1st of all he did not mention his name, I had to ask his name, no formal introduction whatsoever. I will never give him my sales! read more

I went into the store, ready to spend money. I walked in with the intent to buy 2 purses without a blink. But I could tell when we came in, that no one really wanted to give us service because they thought we don't look like the stereotypical clientele. They seemed cold and snobby. No one really turned their heads. Even say hello. One person after a few minutes came by but wasn't really friendly, very cold, seemed kind of annoyed when I asked questions as if I was stupid and should have known. But The reason I ask questions is because I don't know right?? Anyway, wasn't super impressed with the bags or quality. I think if the service was better I would have bought something. I was planning on buying two bags, one for myself and 1 for a gift. In comparison, I've been to LV, now those people are smart and I did leave with a bag from there. read more

Karen Choe was the worse senior advisor I have met. She didn't greet us when we walked in so another sale associate helped me. I wanted to buy a purse but I wanted something unique. This store didn't have much collection so I opted to buy a brooch instead. The advisor that was helping me went home for the day and gave me to Karen who really I could tell she didn't think I would buy anything. Made me feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. She wanted me to buy this $6k used looking jumbo carry on silver bag that looks so old on me. I would spend $6k if it was something my age appropriate and unique. While in the middle of helping me she saw a rich looking persian lady walking in she waved Hi to her, came to her and didn't even excuse me to greet her. Rude asf! Because I didn't buy that bag she rang me out with an attitude like I couldn't afford anything. Worse experience ever! Please stay far clear from her. read more

Chanel - Waikiki - More like someone in there 50s would be more suited for them - Accessories Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

WORST. SHOPPING. EXPERIENCE. EVER. Let me preface, I spent the whole day shopping along the strip for luxury goods for my family and myself. Chanel was the last store I stopped at. FIRST, while entering the store, the SA made a great impression by opening the door and DROPPED the door on my shoulder as I was about to enter. "Sorry the door is heavy." (Nonchalantly) How do you think it felt when it hit my shoulder?? You would think for such an elevated luxury brand, they would hire a dedicated doorman... THEN, upon entering the store, no introduction...no one offered any help. I didn't even know the SA was an SA until she asked if I was looking for something particular. The way she answered my questions came off as so snappy and rude. They didn't have the item I wanted in stock and at this point, I didn't even want to walk around to check out the selection. SA was a bad doorman and even worse at her actual job. read more

Came on vacation here and stopped by this Chanel. The service was amazing, Yumi in particular was so so helpful and kind. What I wanted wasn't in stock and she put me on the waitlist, and the moment the bag I wanted arrived she texted me, shipped it over and had it within two days. She is truly a gem and so easy to work with. Would recommend this location for sure!! read more

If you are interested in meeting a fun and fabulous Chanel Fashion Advisor, I would like to recommend my friend, Karen Choe, Senior Fashion Advisor at the Chanel Boutique in Waikiki. We met in 2000 at the Christian Dior Boutique at Ala Moana Center when I was hired as a Supervisor, and she was already a Sales Associate. We were not instant friends, but I was fortunate to develop a genuine friendship with her over my 6 1/2 years at Dior. Since then, we have both moved on; I am no longer in the luxury goods industry, and Karen has been at Chanel for almost 10 years. We recently reconnected this summer, and I am happy that she is still a BFF. Karen is trustworthy, honest, and hard working. She is very knowledgeable about luxury goods and has an amazing memory. She is bilingual in Korean and English, but does not allow the lack of fluency in other languages to be a barrier to her positive compulsion to help customers. When we worked together at Dior, we had diverse clientele, including locals; we didn't cater to only visitors. As a former Supervisor, I have witnessed Karen's ability and intuition to suggest the best for customers who she treats as newfound friends. Now, as a client, Karen respects my opinion, preference, and price range. I have been honest with her, and I don't feel pressured to spend beyond my price range. During a casual conversation, I mentioned a $525 card holder that I had viewed at the Chanel website and had been considering for a few months. Perhaps, a $525 card holder is insignificant to some and extravagant to others, but Karen's time and effort to help me with this purchase exceeded my expectations. I had intended to wait until I felt at ease to purchase the card holder in person, but when Karen noticed the stock level depleting throughout the nation, she contacted me to decide sooner than later. Since I am a very particular person who dislikes items on display, Karen facilitated a purchase from the Chanel Boutique at Palm Beach Gardens, FL. A link was emailed to me to complete the purchase in the privacy of my own home, and voilà, the card holder arrived in a few days via FedEx. The FedEx box was packed well, and I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the card holder in the Chanel box tied with a ribbon and white camellia flower. The overall shopping experience with Karen was great. I am very grateful to Karen for taking care of me. When you are ready for your next luxury goods purchase at Chanel, please consider contacting my fabulous friend, Karen Choe. She will assist you in making your Chanel dreams come true. read more
