As long as I call ahead of time for any item I need they place it to the side so it will be there when I come to purchase the object.

I would recommend them highly for any snorkeling goods, bikes, and/or bike parts.

The older auntie who works here is rude. She came out and started moving things around as we were…read morelooking through shirts that were hanging up. Re-squaring and spacing the hangers and getting in the way while we were actively trying to look through the shirts for a family member who was visiting from the mainland. She acted like we were a bother when we were trying to look through the shirts. She even rudely asked do you even know where that is (Mākaha/Wai'anae/Ma'ili/Nanakuli)? We left without buying anything. Told her - Yes, auntie of course, we live right up the road. SMH - customer service fail. It's sad because uncle Derrick had a really nice place; my daughters used to get all their supplies here for surfing and bodyboarding, they did jr lifeguards every year, various meets, the Grom, etc. I also asked some friends about our recent experiences there and several of them said that they have had similar experiences there recently. She talks down to people and acts like customers are an inconvenience. I think this auntie is probably his family member since he doesn't seem to be able to correct her, it's at least the third or fourth time she's been rude and dismissive to us. This is the third strike. Who knows, maybe she just doesn't like the way we look!?! The last time we told uncle Derrick about the way she talked to us before we left, it doesn't seem to have made an impact. We probably won't be back again.

We worked with Olivia, and she was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I thought I was looking for in a wedding dress. As we went through the appointment, she helped me refine my preferences and ultimately discover what I really wanted in my future wedding dress. I appreciated that she encouraged both my guest and me to pull dresses that caught our eye, while also selecting additional gowns based on what she was learning about my style. It felt very collaborative, personalized, and pressure-free. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the appointment. Another huge plus is that they offer dress rentals, which is a fantastic budget-friendly option for brides. 10/10 experience--highly recommend to any bride looking for a fun, comfortable, and supportive dress-shopping experience!

Unfortunately there were issues with the first dress I chose and we had to pick a second dress. It was a very difficult process and it was an emotional experience. I will say that Olivia worked hard to ensure I was taken care of by the end of it all. Ultimately the second dress worked out well and I felt good on my day which was the most importantly part. I highly recommend that if you get any alterations done in house that you work with Lagaya (I do not know how to spell her name- sorry) she was fantastic- she is only there on Sundays.

He also got back to me right away via email - not sure about the complaints about unresponsiveness. The store was spacious and clean, and very conveniently located in a Kaimuki shopping plaza. An hour fitting is about $1.50 for parking fees which are paid via credit card. They also provide shoe rentals for $20 if needed (we didn't opt for this but very reasonable pricing!). The husband/wife owners were gracious, warm and very friendly. Made both my father and brother feel at ease and comfortable. I would 100% come back again for formal needs.

Shopping in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Looking for a gown for a formal wedding, I entered Do's Formal. Located on the corner of King Street and Smith Street, I parked in a loading zone which is free after 4pm. Inside, the store is filled with many gowns and even tuxedos! The variety colors and styles is overwhelming. I saw the arrows on the ground which help customers because a person could get lost in there! Service was friendly in the beginning, but cooled off in the end when I didn't like the dress that was suggested to me. I went in the dressing room, but didn't need help with the zipper. I did pull the straps shorter for a better fit, but tailoring the dress would be too much. If you need a wedding gown, suit, or prom dress, take a look here! Some styles look like beauty pageant fashion!

Her staff pulled 3 dresses for my were daughter who was shopping for a wedding dress for a Fall wedding 2026. We had gone to 2 stores in LA where she lives and couldn't find anything in her price range, under $1,000. I had made 2 bridal appointments since she is home for the holidays! The first one we canceled because the girl who was going to assist had a cough! Even though, she would wear a mask, we didn't want to take any chances! So fortunately, we went here Do Formals! It is in Chinatown and since it was a Sunday, we could find street parking! The first 2 dresses fitted her perfectly! "Like a glove" no alterations needed except to hem! They both were beautiful that we couldn't decide which one we liked more! It was the same price too $799! My daughter decided on the second one cause it would match her lacy sneakers and it had pockets! Who doesn't like a dress with pockets! Jackie helped us find the perfect veil! The lace on the outer edges matched the lace of her dress! The veil was so reasonable too! Only $69! What a deal! Spending 90 minutes to find the PERFECT gown and veil within her budget was so Lucky! It was fate! Will be back to get it hemmed! Thanks a million Jackie for all your help and valuable recommendations!

After learning a little backstory on tuxes and suits from Justin and realizing that we wanted the guys to really be POPPIN, we went from black tuxes to a champagne color tux for my groom and full maroon tuxes for the groomsmen. Absolutely no regrets. Photos and videos all look amazing with them. I truly appreciate Justin taking the time to educate and even push us to move away from the norm and do something more exciting which in the end really fit us best. I believe the price for tux rentals are pretty similar at most of the shops in Honolulu, and since we have no real need to keep tuxes it's a great price at $250 per. After meeting Justin, I can guarantee you we will be back again.

Shopping in Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I was actually looking for another small business when there was a free parking space right in front of the store: Lucky Penny I didn't know what it was all about, so I went inside, took a look around, and asked a few questions. What a catchy name for a vintage consignment store, right? Each "closet" or shelf/rack area contains merchandise from a local vendor. The items range from Aloha Collection bags and Trader Joe's coolers to dresses from Manuheali'i and Always a-line. I also saw handmade jewelry, gently worn shoes, fancy children's clothing, men's Aloha shirts, designer handbags, etc. The items change weekly, so if you see something you like, grab it! The tags have prices set by each vendor... with their vendor number on the tag. This is such a great concept! Note: there's a bag policy. Lock your purse/tote/backpack in a locker at the front door and shop hands free!

Highly recommend paying the $20 to get the price tag kit so you can pre-tag your items at home to make load in day easier. It is a fun concept, and I have also found some great deals.

We reached out to Sandra 2 years before our desired wedding date and immediately after our introductory call, we knew that we wanted to work with Sandra. Sandra broke down the wedding planning process in a way that made it really easy to work with . We didn't feel overwhelmed or stressed at any point of the planning process. She provided us with many different proposals for vendors and design that matched our vision and budget and helped us secure all the vendors that we wanted. Even with last minute changes, Sandra was able to address them quickly - a true professional! Our wedding was held at Lanikuhonua and it was the most magical day! We didn't even think for one second about the program as it flowed so effortlessly. We were present the whole night to each other and our guest and truly had the best day of our lives! Our vendors always said "Sandra will know what to do" and also was told she is the Queen of Lanikuhonua weddings and that couldn't be anymore true. We can't thank Sandra and her team enough for bring our dream wedding to life! Weeks after our wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how stunning and how much fun the wedding was. Every penny spent was well worth it and we'd do it all again a thousand times over.

I cannot recommend Sandra and the Finishing Touch team highly enough. Sandra is the kind of wedding…read moreplanner every couple dreams of having by their side--thoughtful, calm, incredibly organized, and quietly working behind the scenes to make everything perfect without you even realizing it. Throughout the planning process and especially on the wedding day, Sandra went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. She has a remarkable ability to anticipate problems before they arise and just takes care of them without ever needing to be asked. Knowing she was on top of everything allowed me to be fully present and truly enjoy the day. One of the things I appreciated most was how well Sandra handled family dynamics--she was warm, patient, and so respectful. It was an extra comfort that she spoke Cantonese and was able to communicate directly with my family in Hong Kong. That personal touch made such a difference and helped everyone feel more included and at ease. Sandra also has an exceptional eye for design--everything looked stunning and came together in such an elegant, cohesive way. Beyond her talent and professionalism, she's incredibly friendly, understanding, and clearly a seasoned veteran in the industry. I'm so grateful to Sandra and her team for making our day feel effortless and beautiful. If you value thoughtful design, attention to detail, and someone who will make you feel completely taken care of, Sandra is the one.
