Karen-Marie has a great little setup! The website states to text for inquiries, which I had done with very swift response, including a link to book service. I went through the process, which includes everything needed prior to the appointment (instructions pre/post as well as the parking, arrival, etc). I received text reminders as well as parking validation instructions and a reminder of the address. I arrived a couple of minutes early as instructed, and was greeted and we had a quick chat before getting started. Karen-Marie has great communication and kept me informed throughout the process. Comfortable setting, soothing music, an overall great 1st experience. I will definitely book again and refer this business. read more

Karen-Marie gave an amazing facial! From the atmosphere, products, and quality of service. The facial included a scalp and arm massage, plus stretching of the neck, shoulders, legs, and feet. It was all very relaxing, and I felt amazing after. My face was glowing and sooo soft. I highly recommend seeing Karen for your next facial! read more

Amazing attention to detail she did my lashes before my Japan trip and they last for like a month!

I have been getting my lashes done for about 5 years now, and I have seen many different lash artists. This is about my 4th appointment with Karen and I LOVE her work!! This is by far the best lashes, with the longest retention I have had. At every appointment, she takes her time to give you exactly what you want while making sure every lash is taken care of. I am so relaxed in every appointment that I fall asleep. I am so grateful that I found this place, I highly recommend it! read more

Just a disclaimer before you read this review and my review of Eyelash Extensions Hawaii. Eyelash Extensions Hawaii is a part of Studio-Glam 808. My Eyelash Extensions Hawaii review is on that service. This review is for other services I've received from Studio-Glam 808. While I mainly come to Studio-Glam 808 for my eyelash extensions, there are other services available. Such as facials, eyebrow waxing, tinting. There are also classes for makeup and eyelash extensions. I told that to my friend and she's interested in learning how to do eyelash extensions, especially since extensions seem to be popular! If my friend does decide to take the classes and opens her own place, I will still continue to go to Studio-Glam 808 because I would feel better seeing the instructor than the student! Anyway, I got my eyebrows cleaned up here. Keep I'm mind, I've been trying to grow out my eyebrows because I got a little too careless and over plucked them! Yikes! Skinny eyebrows are so not in right now! Plus skinny eyebrows really age a person. So it's been about a year and a half since I've had my eyebrows done. Ok I admit to trimming them, but that's it. Promise. Note - the older you get, the longer it takes for eyebrow hair to grow back. Sure, your nose and ear hair grow like crazy, but eyebrows take forever! So it was finally time to get my eyebrows re-shaped so they can frame the windows to my soul. You've heard about that, right? How your eyes are the windows to your soul. So you want nice frames for your eyes, because you never know who is falling in love with you. But I digress. I told Karen-Marie that I wanted to keep my eyebrows on the thicker side but to clean up and don't make the arch so pointed. I didn't want to look angry or cross. She was really quick and did follow my instructions. And the thing is that I felt nothing. No ouch. No blood. Oh, I can't do waxing because of my acne medicine. She had to do tweezing. My eyebrows are so awesome now. And they go with my cools eyelashes. But that's another review!! Karen-Marie is a one woman shop. She books her appointments and returns texts all while doing the actual work for her business. Texting is her preferred method of contact. Mainly because she is with clients or students and gives her full attention, which I really appreciate because I would hate for her to have to answer a phone while she is in the middle of my procedure. I also appreciate how personal she is. You really got to trust the person who is doing the services to you when you have your eyes closed! Just a couple of notes before I wrap up this review. Be prompt for your appointment. Make sure you give yourself enough time to find parking and walk over. Best parking is on Auahi street. You can chance it and park in the Ward Center's lots but you are risking it. The reason I say be on time for your appointment is that because Karen-Marie is a one woman shop, she cannot catch up on time if you are late. If you are late and she were to take you, you bump the next person after you. And that wouldn't be fair for Karen-Marie to short cut anyone's time for their service. She wants to give the best service. And why do I know this? Because I was late to my appointment and I asked why not just take me. Yes, my fault for being late. But now I know. So support the local businesses especially the one woman shops. There aren't many one woman shops and I really do admire Karen-Marie's work ethic. I want to take the makeup classes next. Especially since I don't know how to put on makeup. Support local!! read more

Karen is amazing! She took the time to talk with me about how I wanted my lashes and brows to look. Conversation was pleasant and the location is easily accessible and very peaceful. I highly recommend Karen and will be going back to her! read more

Always satisfied! Professional and fast! Beautiful lashes! I live for lashes too! And she is my go too for now on!

Karen does such an amazing job with lashes with just the right price. I went to a couple lash ladies on this island but I keep coming back to Karen! Very talented and friendly 10/10 would recommend! read more

Ok, I do not have anything to compare to, but I think Karen-Marie did a terrific job on my first-ever eyelash extensions. She was kind and professional from start to finish. I got a new classic set and was able to take advantage of a promotion (great on my grad student budget). Getting these lashes is a commitment since I will have to return every 2-3 weeks for maintenance, so I am pleased that I found someone I like. I told her that I don't wear a lot of makeup and my own lashes are light in color. She planned on a natural look for me and I am pleased with the results. Looks like I have mascara on all the time but it is not too much. Ladies, you KNOW how awesome that is! I screwed up parking even though I planned plenty of time to find the parking garage. I just kept passing it. I parked on the street and arrived a few minutes late. I felt terrible about that, but Karen-Marie was understanding and got right to work. The parking garage is just beyond the building on Bishop St. The drive into the garage heads downward, presumably under the building. Don't know why I missed it. Thanks to the Yelp community for the honest, awesome reviews. They really helped me find a great service! read more

I am not from Hawaii, here on assignment and found Karen-Marie on a search with great reviews and I was not disappointed. I booked an eyelash lift and tint - my eyelashes are usually pretty stubborn to curl and I left really happy with my results. She was precise and thorough and I really appreciated the time and effort she put into my lashes as I've always struggled with keeping them curled. I am really happy results and I'll be going to her as long as I am here! Thank you!! read more

I wish yelp would do half-stars: 4.5 stars is the actual rating. It was my first time getting eyelash extensions and I'm so glad I got it with Karen, they look great! I asked for lashes that look more natural and it looks like I am just wearing mascara all the time, and she delivered! People have commented that they look so natural. *I am not giving 5 stars due to having to wait outside of her office while she finished off her appointment before mine* read more

Great technique with warm personal service!! I am so happy to find here!! My eyelash is great and want to come back ... read more

I came here with a Groupon for a 60 minute Deep-Cleansing Facial with an option of Dermabrasion or a Mini Peel, advetised as being worth $110. My appointment was at 1:00, but after finding parking, it was 1:05. Still, I was told there was "plenty of time" to use the restroom and I was given a long form to fill out. Then, I was told that my printed Groupon was not scanning properly with her phone. I had to go online and show the digital version (which still didn't scan on her phone), and was eventually told "never mind" and was led into the treatment room. By then, it was 1:20. The facial itself was very soothing with a comfortable area and soft music. However, it was quickly over, and the time was only 1:59. I asked if I had received the Dermabrasion or a Mini Peel, and was told that I had received neither because my skin was "too delicate," although I've never had trouble with skin sencitivity. When I expressed disappointment that I had taken time out of my treatment to use the restroom first, she said "Well, facials usually don't take a full hour, anyway." I definitely understand that my being 5 minutes late would take time from my treatment, but 39 minutes without receiving the advertised treatments was very disappointing. So the take-home messages for here are: i) get here early for paperwork, ii) do not expect a full hour facial as advertised (as she said herself), iii) just because you pay for an option of Dermabrasion or a Mini Peel does not mean you will necessarily be receiving either one, and iv) the Deep-Cleansing Facial is NOT worth $110 as advertised. ..... Update: I see that Studio-Glam808 did change their website to now accurately reflect what is offered during this facial. Very good. read more

Glam808 is a scam. Bought a coupon through livingsocial for a pair of facials. Contacted Glam808 before they expired and learned that she was only available Tuesday-Friday. She also said she would extend the expiration date for another month, but couldn't do two at the same time so we would have to block out 3 hours for this simple appointment, for which she had limited availability. My guess is that she makes more money on facials she doesn't perform. read more

Karen is so professional! I felt so VIP since im the only one inside her studio. She worked neatly and very meticulously!!!! I love every bit of it. I will definitely be back!!!! read more

I have never been to Karen-Marie before and I will definitely be back. I had my first appointment for eyelash extensions today at 10:30 and she is an absolute sweetheart. My mom decided to take me to Karen as a birthday gift, I could not be happier with the outcome. She booked me for a full set, but when I went in and Karen and I started talking about what I wanted to achieve, I said that I wanted a more natural enhancement. Karen agreed because she only wants to enhance your natural beauty! About an hour or two later I was done, Karen is extremely gentle with the procedure (I have never had eyelash extensions before and I didn't know what to expect). She explained that I would need to come back in about 2 weeks to get them touched up. Her online booking is easy to do, she does not take phone calls as she runs her business herself, so please TEXT her! I've already booked my 2 week retouch and I'm excited to go back. See you soon! read more

Karen is the best on the Island! She always does an amazing job with my lashes. She is very professional and an awesome person! I totally recommend her. read more

I started to go to Karen about a year ago. Of course, I found her through Yelp and decided to give her a try especially since she was near my work. I have to say, with my experience of trying different lash technicians, I enjoy her services. Her professionalism and her technique is top notch ending with gorgeous lashes. Her office is very relaxing, sometimes too relaxing that I actually catch myself snoring. read more

Karen is absolutely wonderful. On such short notice she was able to take me in the day of for a lash extension appointment. I wasn't too sure about what I wanted so I sent her images and information (via text message) and she responded quickly and answered all of my questions and concerns. When I reached the office, she went over what I was specifically looking for in my lash extensions. Atmosphere is a plus (quiet room, soothing music, ac). I wouldn't go to anyone else.. you can trust her (: Hope this helps!! read more

I have been going to Karen for about 4 years, I do not feel complete until I have my eyelashes done. She is always so accommodating, the location is perfect and the work is amazing! read more

I've been going to Karen for years and wouldn't trust my lashes to anyone else. She is so meticulous and careful. Her room is quiet and comfortable and I am able to easily relax. She's the best! read more

I am SO happy with the lash extensions that Karen gave me! I have never done lash extensions before and was very skeptical. I have always worn mascara only and really like the natural look! I have always seen lash extensions look too fake and really unnatural, but I showed Karen a picture of what I wanted and I told her my wishes of having the natural look. She used the picture I gave her and worked her magic! Now I have beautiful, long natural looking eyelashes! I will definitely be going back! :) read more

have been coming to Karen-Marie for about 2 years now. She is very professional and good at what she does. Her prices are lower than other salons but she doesnt short you on quality. Karen-Marie is not only my go to lash person but now a friend indeed! read more
