Received a text message from the person I left a message with to email the manager. 50 hours after her appointment..... 31 hours since I've called...... NO Response. NO Apology. NOTHING. **picture is from this morning. TWO days after** Also, she's been here before. More than a few times without any incident. And I don't think I need to name the cerologist as mistakes happen however not returning my call in a timely manner is not a mistake any manager should make.

Best Brazilian of my life!…read more I booked a full Brazilian wax. Jazmine was not only crazy fast, but also super thorough. Her space is so cute and inviting. Her service was cheaper than most in the area which is crazy considering how much experience and skill she has. I loved how much information I took away about pre and post wax routines and little tips and tricks for keeping my skin healthy. Loved the vibes and the experience. Will officially be my go to spot in Kailua! Thanks again!!!

I used to be a client of Jazmin when she worked in a waxing salon in town, and she branched off and opened her own waxing studio in Kailua! Even though I live smack dab in the heart of Ala Moana, I will happily make my monthly pilgrimage over the mountain to see her - she's just that good. The waxing studio is on the second floor of the building, right at the top of the stairs that's facing the parking lot. Her space is super clean and welcoming, with a waiting lounge in the front. I have no idea how she makes something as painful as waxing such an easy experience - it's amazing how smooth my skin is, with no irritation after. She uses hard wax, which is much gentler than strip waxes (or me trying to tweeze each hair one by one...) She's also very meticulous about brows, making sure that everything is as even as possible, and never made me feel like she's rushing through my appointment. I appreciate that she checks with me to make sure that I'm happy with the shape and fullness before I leave the table. Long story short, Jazmin is amazing and worth the drive! Definitely recommend going to see her!

5 Stars - Exceptional Service at Sugar & Skn!…read more I had an absolutely amazing experience at Sugar & Skn, and I can't say enough great things about Genesis! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. The studio is beautifully maintained -- clean, serene, and inviting -- but Genesis is what truly made the visit unforgettable. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Genesis took the time to explain every step of the sugar waxing process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Her technique is flawless -- gentle yet efficient -- and the results speak for themselves. My skin was left incredibly smooth with little to no irritation, and the entire experience was far less painful than traditional waxing. What really stood out was Genesis's attention to detail and genuine care for her clients. You can tell she's passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work. She creates a safe, judgment-free space that makes you feel confident and cared for.

We booked two 90 minute massages with a 15 minute steam ahead of the massage. When we arrived they had us take off our shoes and gave us sandals to use, we also selected scents for the rooms and our tea preference. From there they showed us our rooms and had us change into robes before heading into the steam. While the space is too small for couples massages, we were able to go in the steam together and after we went into a room to drink our water/tea and relax ahead of the massage. Once they took us into the room the music was relaxing and they did a great job to ask where to focus and check in to make sure the pressure wasn't too much/too little. I had A LOT of tension in my back. While she was working on some problem areas I asked some questions about why it might be so tense/painful and it definitely was a mix of working out the pain to feel relief. The big takeaway was that I shouldn't go years between massages. After the massage we went back to the relaxation room and drank more water before heading out to pay. I felt so relaxed after the massage and would definitely recommend this business to others.

Class and connivence in one place. Staff is super friendly, warm, and knowledgeable and the ambience is just as amazing. I was able to ask questions before my visit because I was beyond nervous and shy but she made me feel so comfortable and even excited about the whole process. The lounge room is comfy with magazines and clean restrooms and offers privacy from those who are coming and going. The Salon is so cute and welcoming and Summer was so nice, knowing my excitement / nervousness. She answered my 211384935 questions and I didn't feel intimated or dumb asking them. I also liked that she talked me though the process, what she was doing, why, the benefits, the difference in wax, etc. She was so patient and kind. When we were done I felt so good and confident after, I instantly booked my next appointment! She also sold after wax care if I felt I might have needed it to help prevent ingrowns! (win!!!) She also is apart of a rewards thing so now I get rewards too like discounts and free services! I tell all my friends and they agree! Summer and her Staff are Kailua's BEST waxing place! Thank you ladies!!!! read more

I LOVE THEM! I used to go to summer when i first started and absolutely loved her! she makes you feel so comfortable and shes very professional. the studio that they do it in is always kept clean and decorated super cute. After she went on maternity leave i started to see Aynjul and fell in love with her too! Shes extremely down to earth which makes the experience all that better. Both very east to talk to and always know how to keep a conversation going which is a big help because waxing can be "awkward". Plus Summer is great with timing, always gets back to me right away when i want to make an appointment! I would recommend "Simply Summer" to everybody and anybody. read more

Love, love, love this place! Summer is amazing. She uses the hard wax (no paper strips just the wax) so it hurts waaaaaaaaay less and her prices are ridiculous. It's always easy to schedule an appointment with her or the other ladies. They're all very knowledgeable about what they do! I have gone to Bella viva before where all my coworkers said they loved but it was a horrible experience! And the price there was expensive. So I will NEVER go to anyone but simply summer and I always try to refer anyone and everyone who is looking for an esthetician! read more
