My husband and I went on a 7 mile walk/hike around Kīlauea so by the time we got back to our hotel,…read moreI was literally wiped out. My whole body was sore and the pain on my legs, feet, and back was so bad I cannot even described it. I told my husband I wish there is a massage place near us that I can go to. He found Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano and after reading the different treatments, he said I should make a reservation. Suzanne, the owner, responded to my text right away and said she can take me at 6pm if it's not too late. OMG - the best massage ever! I asked for a 90 minute lomilomi massage and mentioned to her during our text messagings that I am not sure what to get. She told me that she will do whatever my body wants and that's exactly what she did - she seemed to know what my body needed at that time. She used hot stone on my tummy and my hands, massaged my scalp, applied lotion and scents that are very soothing and smell really nice. And her hands - healing!!! The pressure was just right - it was just perfect. The pain on my legs and feet were gone by the time she's done. I am a massage connoisseur as I go get massages often both in the US and during my travels internationally. I always get good massages but this is the best so far - Suzanne really has healing hands. I will definitely be back. On a side note: a dog lover as well. I was able to see 5 very cute puppies that Suzanne is taking care of and the cute and protective dog mom.

I don't usually review on yelp but I would like a more updated and recent review for those…read moreinquiring about this spa. This spa provided amazing service! I came to get a message early August 2025 with Suzanne, the owner of the company. The spa is a closed off area in a home and dedicated solely for massage rooms and whatnot. It's a beautiful vibe to the room-- rainforest, cool, breezy, sometimes rainy, calming atmosphere. The rooms are dark and relaxing. The massage was absolutely beautiful. They are very attentive, and they make sure to check with you for any areas that you would like to focus on. I wanted a more relaxing massage rather than deep tissue and she executed that exactly as I wished. You can tell that she is very skilled, and she has mastered her craft. I also got the scalp treatment and it was amazing on my long hair. She had moisturized my hair deeply, covered it with a hot steaming towel, and later rinsed it out. The lotion and oils used to massage as well as the moisturizers and oils for the scalp smell SO GOOD! I left the spa smelling amazing and also with my skin moisturized and feeling softer than ever. I would 100% recommend this place and I'll definitely be coming back!

I found Carrie under the "The Powder Room". She actually shares a space with someone else, but was…read moreunable to put in her details, so I'm glad she figured out how to add her own! So... I booked an appointment very last minute since I live in Oahu, and was in search for an eyelash technician in Hilo Area. First impression of her was that she was super sweet, she made me feel like I've known her for years. So come to the appointment, she was very attentive on what I was looking for, she showed me different photos on the length and style. She explained to me what she was doing and what was putting on my face. Carrie was very friendly and talking stories, but when I started to doze off, she tried her best not to wake me. She took her time and made sure my lashes were perfect. I was very happy with the results! She sent me details on caring for them and a little more about the lashes. I waited a little past the 10 days to write this review, I went on my Bachelorette at Disneyland so my lashes were in extreme heat and weren't taken care of too well. But they are built to last. I tried to brush them before bed and in the morning, and unfortunately, I love clean eyelashes, so I wash them thoroughly every night with an oil free gentle face wash (Cetaphyl or Purity). Even with the nightly washing, I believe I've only lost no more than 5-10 lashes since the 10 days. There's a few that are facing the other way,(which is normal & I sleep pretty rough) but they still look amazing! A lot of my friends complimented on how natural it looks. So I can't wait for my future relationship with Carrie. Definitely recommend trying her out! :)

I walked into the shop and was directed to go talk to Ku'u'lei..... She was very kind and understanding to my needs. She suggested using a leave-in conditioner, cutting it in layers to make it look fuller, and drying it differently. While she was cutting my hair, I was serenaded by her fabulous voice singing a plethora of Diana Ross tunes! Once finished with the cut, she massaged my neck and shoulders, and I almost fell asleep, as it was so relaxing! My cut is fabulous, and you can be sure I will be back!
