I had my first appointment with Kanani yesterday for a hydro facial. I wanted to see someone for my dark spots on my face and chest (due to too much sun from outdoor sports and lack of sufficient coverage!!). Based on experience, even prescription topicals are insufficient. So I decided to try a hydra facial with Kanani on the recommendation of my beautiful niece Katie Dresen, also a fabulous cosmetologist. Katie had acne issues and her skin is now so clear and glowing! Could Kanani work her magic on the absolute opposite skin -- dry, aging skin?
I scheduled an appointment with Kanani. She works in town but also sees clients at Lox Salon in Wahiawa once a week, on Fridays, where Katie sees her clients for micro blading, eyebrow tinting and eyebrow laminating. Kanani is beautiful, and so knowledgeable, well educated and experienced. Damn lucky to be both smart and beautiful, right? I definitely went in feeling comfortable knowing she would be able to address my concerns. We went over a checklist with me, we discussed my concerns before she started our session, which was customized for me, using a facial scrub, hydro facial, mask, moisturizer. She described each treatment but I was in such a relaxed semi-comatose state that I may not have described everything! She has the most soothing, is easy to talk with, as if she were a longtime friend, even if we just met!
At the end (darn, over already?), we discussed future options and products . She didn't pressure me, only if I were interested. I definitely saw results, and my skin glowed and felt so soft. I don't have before and after pics but if you see Kanani, you can ask her to show mine. Ask to see Carolyn's or Katie's aunty's photos! I will definitely will see her again for a hydro facial, and maybe try a chemical peel when I can stay home on the weekend, (she warned that I'd leave the salon with an orange face, that my face would peel. But based on before and after photos, it appears to make a difference!
