My friend had her eyebrows done by Tina when she was just starting her business. She raved about…read morehow much she loved Tina's work. I was a bit skeptical for a few years, but eventually, I decided to that I was tired of having to do my eyebrows before starting my day (haha!). It's located across of Kahala Mall in the Kahala Professional Building on Kilauea Ave. There's a small parking area of only 4 stalls for visitors. However, there's a lot of street parking and possibly free parking at Kahala Mall. I first came to her in early 2024. Before making my appointment, I had a look at her Instagram and website. Since this was my first time getting my brows done, I had many questions. Tina was incredibly sweet and answered all my questions. She helped me feel more comfortable and made the whole process very easy and smooth. The initial appointment was slightly longer than the touch-up appointments because we carefully discussed the type of brows that would complement my face structure and my preferences. I trusted Tina to work her magic as I was unfamiliar with the process, and I'm so glad I did! My brows turned out beautifully, and I was absolutely in love with the result. They truly enhanced the natural beauty of my facial features. I came back for 2 touch up appointments within the next 2.5 years and each time I came back, I fall in love with my brows all over again. I've been trying to refer family and friends to Tina as she is a fantastic brow artist! She also specializes in lash enhancements including liner tattoo and lash perm. Congratulations to Tina for rebranding her studio from Brows by Tina to Restore Studio with an additional service of restorative, paramedical tattoo! I can't wait to have my brows touched up again in the next few years.

As a woman over 60, I was nervous because I've seen brow tattoos that look very dramatic, and I wanted something natural that would simply fill in the areas where I've lost hair over time. Tina was absolutely amazing. She explained the entire process step by step, checked in often about my comfort level, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. She matched my brow color perfectly and really listened to what I wanted. The results look natural and exactly what I hoped for. She also explained what to expect after the procedure, how to care for my brows, and even followed up with me by text to make sure everything was healing well. I'm looking forward to going back for my touch-up and highly recommend Tina--especially if you're looking for natural-looking brows and a provider who truly cares.

I'd been curious about getting my eyebrows done for a long time but was hesitant because I use…read moretretinoin and had seen so many regret/removal videos. A friend of mine had hers done a few years ago and said it was one of the best things she's ever done, which finally convinced me to go for it. I found Beauty Babe by Michele on Yelp, and her all five-star reviews immediately stood out. Even so, it still took me a few months to make the appointment (it's hard to pause tretinoin!), but I'm SO glad I did. Michele is exactly as everyone says--sweet, humble, and incredibly talented. She took her time during both the initial procedure and the follow-up, listened carefully, and made adjustments until everything was perfect. I honestly couldn't be happier with my brows. I still use tretinoin, and even if my brows fade a bit faster, I'm totally fine coming back for touch-ups. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of her work. Highly recommend Michele--you won't regret it!

Thank goodness for the Yelp app, which helped me find this stellar business listing, Beauty Babe. I…read morewas impressed with the owner's (Michele Malek) experience, photo gallery, response time, service offerings, and convenient location. Since leaving the workforce over ten years ago, I imagined waking up, rolling out of bed, not doing my make-up (although I minimally used eye and lip cosmetics due to the nature of my job), and looking decent. However, about seven years ago, I decided to try microblading my thinning and shortening eyebrows, and my husband lovingly teased me about having Rottweiler eyebrows. The painless semi-permanent microbladed eyebrows usually lasted two to three years, with proper annual to no maintenance. I was set for a maintenance appointment when I suddenly discovered that my usual artist had retired. I was left in a lurch because I planned to get the maintenance done before traveling domestically and abroad from late last year. I contacted Beauty Babe to inquire about her microblading and ombré powder tattooing services, appointment availability, and cost. Michele's friendliness and reassurance for assistance came through her voice. She also described the difference between microblading and ombré powder eyebrows, and I quickly agreed to book an appointment to see for myself. On the appointment day, Michele sent me a message regarding directions, parking lot availability, and security in her salon. I didn't take any interior photos for privacy because there were other clients and artists, even though the salon had privacy partitions and separate rooms for tattooing. After measuring my eyebrows, Michele applied makeup to my faded eyebrows to show me the difference between the microblading and ombré powder techniques. My only concern was having my eyebrows look natural and not dramatic. She did a few tweaks, which enhanced the shape, applied the topical anesthetic, and then did her magic. Within a couple of hours, I emerged from the salon with perfect and natural-looking eyebrows or, as they say, "eyebrows on fleek." She gave me an After Care package with instructions, mild liquid soap, tissues, a small tube of Vitamin A&D ointment, and yummy Ferrero Rocher candies. I look forward to an initial touch-up appointment within the next six to eight weeks, just before I'll be "on the road" again. Michele's excellent artistry has saved me time and made looking decent after waking up in the mornings even more enjoyable.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brows and Bushes at Nueve Salon and Spa, and I can't say…read moreenough 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!

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!

Not only that, the application was very quality. My brows barely even peeled and I had great retention. (In the past I had to get procedures redone because of poor retention) but this time they were perfect! The cherry on top is that she offers a free touch up after the initial session to just make sure they're perfect. This was the deciding factor of why I went with studio Masami and it really helped me to feel like she goes above and beyond to provide a great service. Overall I'm very happy with her and will be returning to her from now on for all eye brow needs. If you're on the fence, GO WITH ALANNA!

I rarely ever write reviews, but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I went…read morein for a lash lift and brow lamination, and it turned out to be the worst service I've ever received. Both my eyelashes and eyebrows were completely burned. I normally have strong, healthy hair, but the owner left the perming solution on too long while she went to finish other things. Now, more than two weeks later, my lashes are still damaged beyond styling, rough to the touch, and my brows feel like brittle horse hair. What shocked me most is that the owner never even apologized. Instead, she suggested putting more chemicals on my already destroyed lashes and brows, which would only make the damage worse. On top of that, she constantly pushes products and treatments--even ones unsuitable for sensitive skin--making the whole experience feel more like a sales pitch than a professional service. To make matters worse, many of the positive reviews you see here are incentivized with discounts, which makes them misleading. The only credit I can give is to the esthetician who does facials--she actually knows her craft and recommended a product that worked wonders on my skin. Unfortunately, because of the owner's lack of responsibility, skill, and professionalism, I will not be returning. If you care about the health of your lashes, brows, or skin, please be cautious before booking here. Answer for the CARELESS owner: It's honestly mind-boggling how you refuse to admit the terrible work you did on my lashes and eyebrows. They're not just "over-curled" -- they are burned in spots, and I am now missing many lashes thanks to your careless work. Yes, you offered for another technician to do them another day, but I had scheduled my appointment for that day. I'm a busy woman, I don't have time to sit around in a salon every other day because you can't manage your schedule or use proper products. You should be ashamed for trying to justify what you did. There is no excuse. The truth is simple: you are a terrible technician, and clients should know the risk they're taking by trusting you with their lashes or brows.

Because I do not come in frequently, I typically see anyone who is there (I understand that is my fault, and now I am aware that I shouldn't just go to anyone). However, every time I have been here, I have had wonderful experiences. I came in today to get my brow done before the new year. I went into Hawaii Threading (Keʻeaumoku location) around 2:26 PM. The lady who took me (I didn't get her name because she didn't introduce herself) finished my brows in 5 minutes, and that isn't an exaggeration. When I left, around my brows were very inflamed, which had happened before, so I thought nothing of it. However, I didn't notice until I got home that my brows were extremely uneven. First off, the shape of both brows is different. One of my brows has way more hair than the other but is shorter, and the other is very thin. She did "trim" my brows, but the hairs are uneven. I'm very disappointed with the results and wish I'd gotten her name, because this is unacceptable.
