    Halo was great at massaging and cleaning my face. I had the red light therapy. I noticed an immediate improvement. Next time I'm in town I'll be back. Highly recommended it and ask for Halo.

    Sunday is Venus day for me ! What a beautiful Sunday it was ! I got an amazing facial from Halo, the esthetician. I feel heavenly bliss! If you are looking for a facial, check it out over there. So relaxing. The products are organic and safe. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Parking is convenient. They even have the most relaxing massage chair while you wait. We all need to take care of ourselves - it's called self love and self care. I'll definitely be back. Thank you Kao Spa and thank you Halo !

    Love M.

    The sweet Angel Halo just gave the most amazing facial. I took their promo and it was worth every penny. I saw immediate results and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend taking advantage of this LED facial experience.

    Sorry, don't mind the picture. I just want to say thank you, Maria, for the awesome and relaxing facial. And this massage chair was also soothing and relaxing too. Come and give yourself at least half an hour or longer after your facial to enjoy the massage chair.

We arrived before our appointment time and filled out their forms. We each had our own room/skin care specialist. The comfortable spa table is prepped with a little steamer to get your face ready for treatment. The HydraFacial machine was explained to me. She also stated that if the process felt uncomfortable, I could alert her to adjust the pressure. The procedure helped to clean, exfoliate, and remove impurities from my skin. She then applied a serum of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The final application was sunscreen. While the untrained eye, probably couldn't SEE a difference after the HydraFacial, I could certainly FEEL the difference. Clean, fresh, and super rejuvenated! As a follow up, I came in for the Scultural Face Lift with Buccal Massage. This included lymphatic drainage (behind your ears) and microcirculation of my shoulders, neck, and jaw area. If you've never had a massage inside your mouth, try it! This helps to relax jaw muscles and many TMJ patients use this. Honey, you are worth it! Whether a special occasion or just because. They have many options in their menu of services. They also sell products to compliment all your skin care needs. God blessed you with the skin you're in, this is a great way to maintain it :)

    사랑해 June! Why is…read moreJune such a highly rated esthetician in Honolulu? It's the little things she does to stand out. She's fast, thorough, and provides additional services (like cleaning up brows and epilating upper lip hairs) for no extra charge. She asks detailed questions to understand your skin concerns and also provides recommendations on how to better take care of your skin. After she asked me a dozen question, she had me lay on the table and draped a thick blanket on me. I was nice and cozy the entire time. She got to work immediately putting the facial steamer on full blast. She went to work, cleansing, extracting, and moisturizing X2. I left the appointment glowing! You can schedule an appointment via text. Super convenient and straightforward. You will get a reminder text as well. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

It had been years since my last professional facial, and I found June through her excellent Yelp reviews. Before seeing her, my skin felt dry and uneven, and at-home products were only giving mediocre results. From the first visit, it was clear that June is knowledgeable, skilled, and thoughtful in her approach. She customizes each facial and makes recommendations that truly fit your skin's needs. Appointments are relaxing (even extractions are thorough and quick), and the salon is comfortable and stylish. I noticed improvements in texture and tone after my very first facial, and by my third visit my skin felt noticeably smoother--makeup goes on beautifully. June clearly knows what she's doing and offers honest product guidance without pressure. She even referred me to an excellent brow artist. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants healthy, hydrated skin with a bit of pampering. I had forgotten how good a professional facial can make your skin feel. Tip: parking is easy and free nearby (by Genki Sushi or on Level 3 of the Ala Moana Center mauka parking structure. Take the little walkway to her building). Highly recommend!

    MK Skin Renew is one of those places I want to selfishly keep to myself so that I can continue to…read moreget appointments at my preferred days/times. Before I decided to give this place a try, I pored over reviews for 6 different businesses that offer facials. I read and re-read reviews for almost two weeks. Why? Because facials are not cheap and I'm very picky about who I allow to touch my face. Based on reviews, availability, and location (it's just a 15-minute walk from my apartment), I went with MK Skin Renew. I went with the hydrafacial + microdermabrasion + LED service because it seemed like the best deal. And I was not disappointed! The salon is super clean and neat, which is something else I look for because good hygiene and clean tools are crucial. Before Kyong even took me into the treatment room, she sat me down to give me an initial consultation. She took one look at my face and was able to catch and name all of my skin concerns like some kind of derma-psychic. As soon as I laid down on the treatment bed and Kyong started the microdermabrasion, I passed out. I woke up a couple of times to the sound of my own snoring. I've always been curious about what a hydrafacial is, but I'll have to wait and find out next time since I slept through it on my first visit. After the facial, I didn't get breakouts like I sometimes do post-facial. My pores looked smaller and my skin was clearer overall. Kyong showed me the products she had used on me and recommended that I purchase them. Not only is Kyong an expert esthetician, she's a smart saleswoman. She only uses and carries Skinceutical products which I've never tried before because of the sky-high price point. She recommended 5 products for me which, if I have to estimate, would have cost me $700-800. I bought one of the products because I've been desperately trying to lighten sunspots on my face, so I'm willing to pay for it. When I got home, I did some online research and learned why Skinceutical products are so expensive (they're apparently one of the innovative pioneers at the forefront of skincare). Something else that was validating was that Kyong does not mark up the prices of her products; she sells them at the same prices as what's listed on Skinceutical's website. It's been almost a week and my face still looks and feels as fresh as it did right after the facial. I definitely plan to go back in 4-6 weeks!

    I have had facials on a regular basis for a very long time. We are visiting HI and this was my…read morefirst time to visit MK Skin Renew. Kyong was gracious and took time with me before starting to hear my concerns and explain her recommended treatments. My hour and a half treatment was very relaxing but thorough. Kyong was quiet, the music was soft, and the room very comfortable and clean. The hand and scalp massage was an extra bonus. Best of all I actually saw immediate results from this one time series of treatments. Wrinkles and lines were less pronounced and my skin had a healthy glow. I highly recommend MK Skin Renew and intend to make an appointment with Kyong when we come back next Jan

    This was a 10/10 amazing experience that completely melted my stress away!…read more Parking is right in front, very easy but keep in mind that the lot is quite small and there aren't a lot of options elsewhere since it's located right on King St. When I was waiting I heard other people say that they were having trouble parking so something to keep in mind. I picked the 60 minute experience and it was everything I wanted and more. It was soooo relaxing. They have Japanese hair products that they wash your hair with and give you a neck/shoulder massage as well while you're lying in a massage chair for true head to toe relaxation. Tara took amazing care of me, she was great and so so kind. If you're anything like me and like to prepare in advance, you don't need to fully remove your clothes but they do recommend you take the top portion off and use this tube-top thing they provide you with so they can massage your shoulder area. Small earrings are also fine to keep on but I believe you do need to remove any necklaces you have. I would 100% recommend this to anybody seeking a relaxing experience. You walk away with clean, refreshed hair too!

Everything from the ease of booking the…read moreappointment online, to the luxurious full body massage chair, and indulgent Japanese waterfall head spa - AMAZING!!! Would absolutely come back! Pros - Nakaia did an amazing job! And I'm uber happy I splurged on the additional extended treatment. I definitely felt relieved to rid my body of the built up 'tech' strain in my neck, shoulder, chest, and arms. Worth every penny! - Secure lockers to store your belongings are located at the entrance. - They give you a blanket to keep cozy during the treatment. Bonus! Unfortunately, the blanket's just big enough to cover your stomach and legs. If you easily get chilly, suggest bringing/wearing socks, and maybe even bringing your own blanket to ensure your chest and feet stay warm too. Cons - Parking lot can fill up quickly as they share with Baskin Robbins, Fantastic Sam's, Mana Musubi, i-naba, and Boba House. - The spa is one big open area. The only privacy is created with thin curtains to separate each of the chairs, when in use. Which means you can hear everything, and everything can hear you. (During this visit, I could hear a fairly loud lady, and her teenage daughter and friend carry on like they were the ONLY people in the whole place. Rude!) - your face, shoulders, and chest will get wet. Not really a con, in my book. And you shouldn't be surprised either. You are getting a Japanese style scalp massage after all. Overall I had a relaxing experience. I would definitely get the same treatment with the extended time again. ‍‍‍

IT DID! when i went back in may (so 3 months in between) and did another face scan, there was a noticeable difference! i think it actually got much better by april, from a dark brown to like a beige (i'm fair skinned hapa). i just had to be PATIENT, religiously wear SPF and reapply every 2 hours (use a stick which is much easier on the go), and be CONSISTENT with skincare (i added vitamin C along with azelaic acid in mornings and tret at night). it's def not a quick fix, it's a long haul and it's totally up to you to take care of it post op so i'd like to think results may vary and so far mines going well! skin stamp - apparently this tx is suppose to be the most painful but i didn't feel a thing?! i got a massage, electro wand, facial, numbing for 30min and went to town with the stamping but i felt nothing! chloe (?) was very surprised and said i must have a high pain tolerance which i dont agree with, im a baby with pain haha. another ice wand and then i left with a collagen mask that she told me to try and keep on for several hours and then moisturize before bed. i literally just got this done today so hopefully i see some good results! all in all, i really enjoy the lab and look forward to every monthly (my choice) tx. i'm very happy with my results and i have rec several friends to try it out. best part is that it's in my neighborhood ho'opili, so convenient, no need drive to town!

I come here for my facials and I heard they were doing head spa downstairs, the facials take place upstairs. I was super excited to try the head spa. They do an analysis of your scalp and hair. Similar to how they analyze your skin. They take pictures and you can see your hair follicles and your scalp. It shows you your hair growth, scalp health, and tells you how much dryness and oils you have. It was super helpful and interesting to see. I chose to do the collagen mask with my head spa experience. They put a bubbling cleanser on your face (it tingles) first and then exfoliate, next is the collagen mask it feels really nice. The experience takes about 1.5 hours. They don't have a receptionist and the check in area is tight. My head spa was interrupted when a customer came in to make a payment. So of course that was annoying and disrupted my relaxation time. I also stated after another person and I was finished before that other person so I don't feel like I got the full experience. The massage time could have been longer. The time I wasn't disrupted was good. The space is clean and relaxing. It is definitely a zen zone. Also, I think I fell asleep towards the end but was then woken up by another customer that came in. I recommend they get a receptionist or have another staff member take care of customers coming in as to not disturb the experience. I purchased the scalp foam as I was told it was good for my sensitive scalp. Will see how it works. I like that they use all natural products. All in all It was a good experience.

I noticed the skin tags on my face as I age and spend too much time in the sun, and she helped zap those off efficiently. Maggie is unlike any place where you can get a facial. She uses all the latest products and has years of experience. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my face if I didn't know they had the expertise to do it properly. The HydraFacial is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one seamless session using advanced technology. Unlike most facials, it infuses potent serums tailored to your skin's specific needs, resulting in immediate and noticeable improvements without downtime. In a world where so many people are offering facials nowadays, I did the homework for you; if you're looking for someone to take care of your skin truly, Maggie is one of the best in town. She focuses on keeping your face looking its best and isn't your typical facialist or aesthetician who does everything under the sun. She doesn't do Botox, eyebrow tattooing, or eyelash extensions--which women often do--but instead aims to concentrate on the aesthetics of pure skin, which is clear with her results. My friends all notice that if I don't go to her, she has helped me significantly with my acne scars. You get what you pay for because you're paying for quality care. Thank you, Maggie, for always taking such excellent care of my skin! If you're looking for a great way to pamper yourself and give your skin the love it deserves, I highly recommend trying the HydraFacial Syndeo with Maggie. It's a game changer! Just be sure to book ahead because she's in high demand!
