I went in-store 12/19, qas reassured it'd be ready by Monday 12/22. I called again and was told to wait for the email. Christmas came and went... no email. I tried to email and call them. NO RESPONSE. I went back to their Sand Island location... closed for a week and re-open 1/6. Tried email for a refund... they don't do refunds. A little communication would have went a long way. This will be the last time I shop here for Black Friday. If you know you oversold and it wouldn't be ready by Christmas, be honest. People will understand. But a lot of us were left with NO COMMUNICATION.

That night as I shopped, Kalani and Maile greeted and welcomed me with their genuine aloha. I could tell how happy they were, both were singing while they were working. I love it when people sing, I feel like they are connecting with the music and their hearts are happy. This store has a bunch of different apparel styles and tastes. I found 2 dresses for work. I got lots of complements the next day at work. In inquired about the Black Friday Sales (even though I was early, Tuesday). No sales were going on but Aunty Maile gave me a gift for my purchase. Super kind of her and much appreciated. I don't often treat myself to dresses and such, but I was so happy I was able to support local. They used to be on the second level, but now they are on the ground floor near Aloha Salads. According to the past comments, this store may be a seasonal store. I'll be back for sure.

She made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed and loved my experience with her. She constantly checked on me and offered pieces I didn't think I would like. She really exemplified awesome customer service. She and the other gal working were very nice. I was very happy with my experience and also that I was able to find items that I liked and fit well. I was excitedn to find a few things to purchase. They do have a good selection of merchandise as well. Some items are a little pricey but I found that they are worth the quality. I would definitely return to this location. Fighting Eel has the best employees!

They have ample parking spaces out in front of the store.

Manuheali'i has for a long time been the go to location for myself and my colleagues, in fact, our…read morecoaching staff went with matching Manuhealii prints for almost a decade. For me, the two main reasons to buy Manuheali'i. First, their clothes is often made with a thinner material which is both comfortable and practical, especially during the summer. Business attire or dining out looks better when you're not sweating in your thick cotton aloha shirt. Second, their prices used to be just a tad lower than a lot of the other high end Hawaiian fashion designers. But that seems to be changing. It's going to be more difficult for Hawaiians to wear Hawaiian wear if the prices continue to increase but if you're looking for something professional, fancy, and comfortable, this is probably one of the best brands to go with.

When asked if there was another size in one of the shirts, a curt "no" was given and that was it. Judging by other Yelper's one star reviews, it seems my customer service experience was not isolated.

I fell in love with this stone gray simple but really comfy romper with a low back and pockets. She said that I could dress it up with some cute accessories for my night out and I could also use it casually for going shopping or running errands. I love an outfit that is versatile! I really appreciated the time and advice she offered. Every time someone compliments my romper I tell them to go to Cookies in Windward Mall and ask for Savana, she will help you find something you'll fall in love with! I will definitely be shopping there again because of her!

Those were the most memorable places because they had AKSHON! Cosmic candies was another memorable spot! I think when they closed down, that's when the mall changed! Afterwards, kids grew up, adults got angrier, teens dispersed and Kaneohe no longer was FAMILY! It opened up to a new generation. Yet, they still have this mall. Constant changes, new businesses every 3-5 years. None that sticks around. Only a handful didn't leave. Let's hope this place can become a family place again.

I ended up buying a burgundy colored shirt that says Local Motion on it in small letters. I remember my husband used to buy me stickers from the store. I love this brand. They sell a lot of cute clothing especially some Hello kitty stuff like the skateboard I posted. So cool. So worth the splurge and definitely check out their sale items. Customer service here was nice. The lady behind the counter explained that there are no returns on sales items because it's final clearance. Store was clean inside and everything was organized. Very nice. I would definitely come back again to check out more stuff.

I had purchased some shirts last year and the size wasn't right. The normal exchange policy is within 90 days. However, they let me get a different size and I gladly paid the difference!

I purchased two items at full price in November. They have a strict 30 day exchange policy. They run out of stuff fast so i asked if i could return items in December and repurchase so that it could be exchanged if needed since it was a Christmas gift. I was told i could. Went back in December and now the item is on sale so i could now get it at the sale price but all sales final. Opted for a gift card which is fine (full price i paid). Since it was a gift, i asked if i could increase it, so it is an even number since it is a gift. The system would not allow them to put it on one gift card. So now im giving two gift cards for a gift to total an even number. Again staff was excellent but owners need to do something about exchange policy especially during Christmas. Even if the recipient were to get less than i paid, i would have been fine with it, but at least they could get what they want and the store would probably make more money. Truly love supporting local and will still shop since product is good and staff are amazing but exchange policy could be much better.
