I've gone to Lava Spa for at least 4 years now for everything beauty from eyebrow lamination, massages, lashes, and nails. Christina and her team are so warm, friendly, and professional! Her newly renovated space provides a wonderful, relaxing, and aesthetic vibe. I always look forward to my monthly maintenance at Lava! read more

I've been to Lava Massage and Day Spa twice now and both times have been wonderful! The spa has cute, modern decor with a little gift shop inside. They also offer massage and various spa treatments. For massages, the staff provides a form you fill out before the service. It lets you customize everything from the type of massage, areas to focus on and avoid, and the pressure level you prefer. My masseuses have both been fantastic and really attentive to those details. The massage rooms are peaceful and have a beautiful view of the city and water. After the massage, they surprise you with ice cream and water. Overall, Lava Massage and Day Spa is such an adorable spot with great service. Both times I've left feeling completely relaxed and pampered. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went to Lava for a couples full body massage as part of our honeymoon. Annie and Jenny were amazing. They set up the room with a cute sign and gave us ice cream afterwards to celebrate. They allow you to choose which types of massage and areas you'd like them to focus on. My whole body feels way better and less tight. Annie got out many knots and focused on areas where I was sore and tight. I would highly recommend Lava Massage and Day Spa and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you Annie and Jenny for such a great experience. read more

Yan and Jenny took care of me and my partner for a 2-hour massage. It was extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. They even provide cookies 'n' cream ice cream afterwards, which is delicious! I like the cozy vibe of the venue (feels like a friend's home) and the views of Waikiki + the ocean are spectacular from the massage rooms. Definitely a must-go! read more

This review is for their massage services, which I absolutely love! I've been here a couple times now and have put this place on my recurring self-care treatment places. Booking is convenient and easy to do online. You'll get a confirmation email and text. On the day of your appointment you'll get a text with their suite and parking information and assigned stall. Parking is $2 with their validation. When you get to their suite, ring the doorbell and you'll be greeted by the friendly workers and asked to switch into their slippers. The ambiance is so cozy and such a bright and welcoming space. I've only been there in the morning so the view is great up on the 25th floor. I've booked the 90 min couple massage and we were led to the massage room to change and fill out their massage information sheet (type of massage, pressure, focus/avoid areas). I felt so refreshed after my treatment and they offer a little treat of some ice cream and water afterwards. They also accept FSA/HSA now and can help with an itemized receipt if you need one. read more

I was gifted the "It's My Birthday" spa package from my daughter, and from the moment I arrived at Lava Massage & Day Spa, I knew I was in good hands. Yan made sure I was completely comfortable throughout the entire experience. I couldn't believe how strong she was -- her technique was incredible, and I walked out feeling absolutely AMAZING. She did such a great job, and I'll definitely be back. Mahalo, Yan -- see you next time! read more

AMAZING experience!!!! I did the birthday package which included massage, facial, scalp scrub and foot massage. The spa was very homey and comfortable. They gave us ice cream afterwards too. Will definitely be back and cannot recommend enough. read more

Truly the best massage I've ever had! My mom and I did the Couples CBD massage package on the last day of our trip in Oahu. We thought it was worth the money and a great value for what was charged. Lulu and Jenny did an amazing job. We felt fully relaxed after. At the end, they also gave us some icecream/soft serve which was a nice treat! Professional environment. Clean. Highly recommend! read more

Just wanting to start off by saying the inside is so adorable and cozy then you get the beautiful view the relaxing music, it was my first time there, but I received a gift card for my mother-in-law. I was super excited to get a massage. Her name was Vivi she was amazing by the way she literally put me to sleep lol the best part was definitely all the above, but the facial and the scalp massage were one of my favorites but everything overall I give it a 10/10 then to top it off. I got a free candle that smelled amazing and I had to make sure I tip her very well! I will definitely be coming back again very soon. Thank you so much lava Hawaii.!! read more

Annie just gave me a great 90 minute massage! It was a mixture of deep tissue and Thai and I asked her to walk on my back. I have bad posture and my shoulders and neck are always sore. Annie applied the perfect amount of pressure and spent extra time on the areas that needed it the most. My sister gave me a gift card for Xmas and it was my first time here but I'll surely be back. Friendly, skilled, and professional :) thank you! read more

Overall this was the best massage I have ever gotten. The staff was extremely respectful and kind and I would recommend this to friends and family. One of the best things was the view overlooking the city. As a tourist, I wanted the most out of this massage and I definitely received it. read more

Went in for a lomi lomi massage and my lady really concentrated on my knots that I didn't have and I appreciate that. The room was very clean and inviting with the music. And the view was amazing. Will def come back when I'm back in Hawaii. Mahalo read more

I enjoyed my experience at Lava Massage. Located on the 25th floor of the Century Towers in Waikiki, the view was stunning. As my friend and I walked in they asked us to remove our shoes and replace them with slides they provided. We confirmed our names and appointment times and then were swiftly escorted to our respective treatment rooms. I had chosen the Lava Massage Signature package which included a full body massage, facial and foot scrub. They leave a clipboard for you to review so they understand your preferences for the visit - massage pressure, areas to focus on, areas to avoid, allergies, any additional services you may want to add, etc. I prefer a deep tissue massage, and my therapist did an excellent job giving me a full body massage, while also giving special attention to the areas I requested. Afterward, the massage was followed by a facial. I'm used to having a steamer going while the treatment is happening, but none was used during the facial. The facial included a face massage, exfoliant, toner, mask, and moisturizing. Lastly, was the foot scrub, the shortest of the treatments. For 10-15 minutes the therapist massages and exfoliates your soles, upper foot, and ankles. Overall, a great experience. I felt refreshed and renewed. After I got dressed and left the treatment room, I was greeted with a cold glass of ice water and a scoop of refreshing vanilla ice cream. I sat at the bar and relaxed while waiting for my friend. We chatted with the staff and when we were ready to depart, received warm farewells. As a bonus, they had a reserved parking space for us in the building that was validated for a flat fee of $2 as opposed to the $6/hr fee. Highly recommend and the price point is a great value. read more

Absolutely what I needed! I was gifted a massage at Lava and it was the best deep tissue/lomi lomi massage I've had in many many years. I used to get massages quite often. When I get massages the therapist usually always says I'm super tight so they have to work extra hard. Lisa is a great deep tissue with a little bit Lomilomi massage therapist. Location is good being that it's in town, the building was or is still partially an apartment building, but they turned this apartment into a massage business. It was comfortable and clean. The view was amazing. read more

Scheduled a last minute foreign fill with Christina and she was amazing! Quick and efficient. She was very gentle and I couldn't even feel her hands on me while she did the fill. So relaxing I fell asleep :). The price is so reasonable and parking is $2 if your park in their designated stall they assign you. They are located in century center. So worth it and I will definitely be back! read more

I got a couples massage with Annie and Vivi. both were amazing! will definitely be back here again! The interior is cute and we got ice cream after our couples massage. 5/5!! read more

Just had a massage with Lulu and she was the best! Super relaxing and has very strong hands. Very cute vibe, will be back

I booked a 2 hour massage plus a cupping treatment add on and left after 30 minutes because it was so terrible. Throughout the 30 minutes I kept saying how I wanted slow deep pressure but she just kept shaking me so roughly. I was still charged for the 30 minutes even though I expressed how disappointing it was. Never coming here again. read more

I went back to this place for their eyelash extension. I really appreciate Christina because she reached out to me at first and apologize on behalf of her employees from the last time I went. She let me know that she does eyelash extension, facial, and eyebrows. This was perfect time for me as I was starting to look for a new eyelash technician. Christina was so welcoming when I mentioned about wanting to get eyelashes from her. She helped me book for my appointment and the day of, she told me where I can park. Her new place is on the first floor of the building. I really love what she did to the place! Big fan of Boho design and it's so cute! I let her know I wanted more volume for the lashes and she did an incredible job!!! I love that she was really gentle when putting new lashes on, made me feel at ease, and let me know at the end what kind of style and length the lashes were. I really appreciate her honesty, kindness, and how talented she is! I'm ready for my next eyelash extension appointment with her! :) read more

Lava Massage & Day Spa - New place for facial, eyelashes, and brows - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This spa is nestled in a large tall building that seems to be a condo complex that's converted to small businesses that feature only massages/facials/other wellness treatments. From walking along the sides of the building to the elevators, there are advertisements for different places that provide varietal spa services. Lava massage was one of the rare options in Honolulu that offered prenatal so I opted for them given some glowing reviews I found. It felt like walking into someone's apartment, and the massage wasn't the best nor most expert treatment I've had. Definitely not worth the price tag that they were charging. ** We booked a 90 min treatment and they undercut our massage by about 10 minutes. When places do this and leave a clock in the room, it's always irritating when I catch it. read more

First time getting a couple massage from here. Normally majority of the massages I reserved were for 1 hr, but this time I went for 1 hr and half, both me and my bf needed a longer session. The staff were professional and checked out temperatures, led us to the room where the massage will be. Basket for our belongings and fill out form type of massage and what pressure, went with the lomi lomi and light pressure. I had the therapist focus on my lower and middle back and both shoulders. My body is sensitive, the pressure was just right. Once the hr and half went by, the staff had a cup of water for us to drink, while paying for the session. There were a few more couples waiting for their turn. This business is popular. Parking was hard, managed to try a spot on ground floor. More cars waiting for parking spots to open up. read more

Hands down 5 stars for great massage both my daughter and I received. My daughter had said Lava was the best in Honolulu. We booked a week prior. They are located in a older, dated high rise. Parking in the garage is tight. We were greeted by smiling, mask-covered faces. The suite is clean. Our room had a majestic view of the city and ocean. You can choose type of massage and amount of pressure. The massage was thorough and amazing. Warm oil and hot cloths were also included. This was a great experience and I will be back. Recommend highly. Parking was validated. read more

**UPDATE** The owner, Christina, reached out to me and apologized. Changing review to 4 stars and I appreciate her prompt response to make things right. My most recent massage at Lava Massage has left me disappointed, sore and bruised. After coming here a couple of years ago and having such a great experience, I was excited to go back to get another couples massage with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary. We got there right on time and was greeted immediately. We were taken back to our room and saw they put a nicely written sign for our anniversary. I appreciated that. Like the last time, I chose to get a Swedish massage with medium pressure since I enjoyed it so much. My boyfriend got his same combination of Swedish and Thai massage with medium pressure. The massage started off well, but my masseuse started using her elbows and forearms which I don't really remember them using the last time. I had a lot of knots so she spent majority of the time trying to work out those. It was sore, but I endured it because whenever my mom tries to massage out my knots, it's pretty sore as well. She also did a lot of slapping on my body which I didn't hear my boyfriend really getting and also don't remember getting slapped the last time. That was pretty uncomfortable and unexpected for me. After the massage, my traps were pretty sore. My boyfriend assured me it would probably go away the next day, but it didn't. I also woke up to a decent-sized bruise on my lower back. Definitely did not have any bruising the last time I went. Comparing my first experience vs. my most recent experience is like day and night. I was looking forward to decompress, but unfortunately, I really didn't experience much relaxation. Might need to look into going to another place for my massage. read more

This is an amazing option in Honolulu for a fantastic massage service. I had a massage and facial during my vacation, and it was really lovely. Very reasonably priced and really good services in a clean space. Just be prepared it's a slightly unusual setup. It's a more casual environment than most spas and a little unusual. But everyone who works there is lovely and super professional so that quickly becomes a non issue. If you're seeking the ultimate luxury prestigious experience, this isn't it. If you're looking for fantastic services and a great price, Lava is for you. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Booking an appointment was easy on their website. I booked an appointment for the couples lava facial. Before going to Lava, we got massages at a different place in the same building and I really wished we got the massages at Lava too. First off, the place is clean which is so important at a spa. The facial was so therapeutic and the lady that did my facial was really good. She was massaging all the right spots of my face with the right pressure. When she did my neck area, that's when I was like "darn, this massage is so much better than the one I just had." Then she massaged my arms and legs which again - perfect amount of pressure. Everything was so good that it put me in a happy mood. Lava is now my go-to for facials/massages when I'm in Oahu. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for a while now and we absolutely love it. Booking is so easy to do online. We love to add hot stones in our service and it's the best feeling ever! This past booking I got Lulu as my masseuse and she absolutely rocked. I felt so relaxed and my shoulder and neck pains melted away. The head massage nearly made me fall asleep! To top it off they give water and ice cream after the session. We live about half an hour drive out from town, but it's always worth the drive to get a massage from these wonderful ladies. 11/10 recommend this place! read more

Booking was very easy, lots of options and availability. Booked the day before while on vacation due to a storm we needed something to do. We got the coco package. We could both say it was...different...than any other massage we have gotten back home. Not in a dire need to come back, but i guess if i needed something to take up some time on a vacation i would. read more

Lulu is the besttttttt! I've been there a handful of times and I have always appreciated and loved my massages from her. I typically booked morning appointments and I don't want to fall asleep while getting a massage because I want to enjoy every second of it. However she's the only one who has ever made me fall asleep on the table from being so relaxed. My body feels like jello after she takes all of my knots out. GO HERE FOR A MASSAGE! Once you book instructions are super clear on where you can park and it's easy to find. read more

We did the 75 min massage with hot stone & had a great experience. The masseuse were friendly & the rooms view is beautiful. The location itself is clean as well. I love how it's a converted apartment, it makes it feel comfortable & homey. I don't have much to compare this massage quality to with it being my 1st massage, but I would definitely go back. We walked from our Waikiki hotel very easily. Perfect addition to your Waikiki vacation agenda. We added it into our Honeymoon agenda & we are very glad we did. read more

Had a girl day treat with a friend of mine at this place and we had an hour long massage in an exquisite relaxing room that overlooked the Hawaii city views! It was amazing the entire experience! The ladies who took care of us did an awesome job working on areas most needed. The firmness of pressure applied got the job done and allowed for a rejuvenating feeling. I did not feel sore or hurt and enjoyed every minute spent! After the hour massage was an express facial and it felt wonderful to treat my face after all the face mask wearing craziness we have nowadays. It was nice to finally get pampered after a long time lockdown due to COVID-19. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely see them again soon! Thank you Lava Massage for an awesome treat! read more

My wife and I booked massages for ourselves and her mom as well as a facial/scalp massage for our 14 year old. The ladies were all so attentive and lovely. We all felt so relaxed and pampered afterwards. My 14 year old doesn't really like people touching her but she felt so comfortable and the lady taking care of her made her feel so relaxed. Everything was SO clean. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. We all felt so amazing and we will be back. I felt the prices were reasonable for what we got. read more

Lava is an amazing hidden gem to have a quality spa day for yourself, for you and your S.O. or to have a fun, healing experience with your friends! I've been here enough times to attest to the high quality of service, the fine caliber of therapists, the cleanliness of the establishment and the fair pricing. For massages, definitely look for any monthly promo deals on their website. I love that they have a cbd oil massage option. Your standard four oils are Lavendar, Rose, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus. Highlight services in the massage packages are the scalp massage, foot reflexology, and the HOT STONES! For those that like brief but blissful moments of hot, smooth stones rolled around your well-oiled body, the hot stones option is A MUST. Those who cannot tolerate brief moments of some heat, I wouldn't recommend it. If you don't like the added options in certain fixed massage packages, you can talk with Lava directly to sub in a different service. For the lashes, Christina (the owner) has been doing extensions for awhile now and is an expert at knowing what lashes will flatter your eye shape the best. She is quick and very gentle/delicate around your eyes, so much so that I fall asleep at times! Jen, the other lash technician, is equally amazing. She adds the extensions just as fast but wants your lashes perfect. Will add alot to bring out the most volume on your eyes and is such a perfectionist! She's also quite fun to chat with! Will always come back to Lava for a much needed massage or before a big event for lashes! Call or text if you have any questions. Responses are quick! read more
