Michelle gets booked quickly, but she was very communicative and very accommodating trying to fit me in her schedule. She specializes in extractions, which I needed, and I was very happy with her services. I have my next appointment booked and I'm looking forward to it. The clay mask after the acne facial I got was very nice! You can purchase a bottle of the clay mask, which I did. Try to book her in advance if you can! read more

I did request on yelp and found her. I did signature facial and it feels really relaxing The place is clean. The facial is reasonable. It also consists with extractions. Some other places charge you extra for extractions on the facials. I love the massage ‍ during the facial. It makes me feel so relaxed. Treat yourself and try it once. read more

The best facials, skin, advice, and service. Guarantee to walk out the door, feeling refreshed and glowing.

My facial and shoulder massage with Michelle was just what I needed and it was wonderful. The place was clean and relaxing. Michelle was warm and friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit! read more

This was my first facial and Michelle was very professional and informative of the type of treatment tailored to my skin at the time. She walked me through the process of what she was doing and made me feel comfortable. The treatment itself was painful, but I have noticed a big difference in my skin a couple days after when the redness and inflammation subsided. I had the acne facial treatment which was what Michelle recommended. I look forward to my future appointments with her. read more

Michelle is great! I'm super happy with the service and looking forward to going back regularly for treatments. She has been doing microderm treatments for my fiancé for the past half year and we've seen great results. I'm glad that we have trusted her with our deep facial care. I do plan to go back every 5-6 weeks for micro derm treatments for sun spots and dark under eye circles. read more

I was referred to Michelle by a friend, and I do not regret taking the leap to make an appointment. Michelle is very welcoming and explains what she's doing which was helpful for a first timer like me. My skin was definitely refreshed after my first appointment and I'm glad I already scheduled my second appointment :) read more

Michelle does not disappoint! After trying several other estheticians who claim they do extractions but only do surface extractions, I was skeptical about getting a facial done with Michelle. I built up the courage to give her a try and I am so glad I did. Michelle extracted my pores from beneath leaving my skin feeling so refreshed. She did my whole face and not just my nose like other estheticians. It has been over a month since I had a facial done with her and I anticipate going back for more but she did such a great job that my skin is still feeling smooth and my pores are still feeling clean. I recommended my two teenagers to get a facial with her and they were also pleased with their results. My son had really bad acne but after that one visit with Michelle, his face cleared up almost completely! His skin looks much more clean and he hasn't had a bad breakout since! My daughter on the other hand had less acne compared to my son but even her skin has cleared up in the areas that were congested. I am so appreciative that Michelle does not push her services and let's me choose what I am comfortable in getting done. Her customer service is exceptional !! We are definitely going to make an appointment to see Michelle again in the near future! When it comes to Michelle, I am a believer!! read more

Had a petite facial from Michelle. If you want to clean out your pores and get rid of your black heads and milia, I would highly recommend Michelle. She does the pore extractions the old fashion way. It is a little bit sore but it's so worth it. All my blackheads and milia are gone and my skin feels so much cleaner and it really looks brighter! I booked my second appointment again just for maintenance! No machine can clean your pores like this. read more

I had my third facial with Michelle today and I can't say enough great things. She is great at what she does and she takes her time. Her extraction skills are amazing. My skin looks so clean. My skin has gotten really bad recently but Michelle has helped my face go back to what it was. It was the best facial l've had in a while and had my skin glowing leaving my appointment. The best part is that she is not pushy about anything. I highly recommend her to everyone. She does an amazing job and she gives tips on what works for your specific skin type. It was also very easy for me to make an appointment with her. Can't wait to see her again soon! read more

From first contact through after my treatment, Michelle was great! She responds quickly via texts. After setting an appointment with her, she even followed up with me about an earlier spot that had become available, which I thought was wonderful. The location was very clean, and Michelle wore a face mask, face shield, and gloves, so I felt safe while I was there. She took the time to get to know my concerns and what my skin type was before starting. The extraction part of the facial was a little sore, which she warned me about, but the rest of it was nice and relaxing! Most of the redness from the extractions went away within a day, with all of it gone within a few days. Michelle took the time to follow up with me by text to check that everything was ok after my treatment. Even a couple of weeks later, my skin is feeling soft and smooth! And this is in spite of me being on vacation during that time and subjecting my poor skin to drier conditions and less care than usual. I don't usually get facials, but I'm glad that I treated myself to one with Michelle. Give her a try! read more

My first impression of Michelle: her warm caring energy welcomed me at the door, when I asked where the restroom is, she explained in perfect detail how to get there and which direction to turn the key to get in. I already knew I liked her because I love attention to detail. A friend gifted me this facial and I didn't really know what to expect. Michele explained everything she was about to do very simply but thoroughly before each step. This put me at ease. When she started to pinch my nose to get the gunk out I thought to myself, "okay, that is fricken sore, why would my friend think I'd like this, when is it going to stop, don't be a little b****, I can handle, oh my goodness." She showed me the gunk after, ewe, but it made sense why she had to squeeze so much. Once that part was finished she continued checking my entire face then rewarded me with an amazing shoulder, face, and ear massage that quickly made me forget about the pinch sesh and made me realize why my friend thought I'd like this experience. After the treatment I looked in the mirror and my face looked perfectly fine. My nose was not red. And my skin looked really healthy and refreshed. Even the next day. And even 2 days later it still feels and looks good. I'll definitely be back and recommend to my friends. Thank you for taking care of me Michelle. I can tell you really love what you do, it shows and I could feel it. I'm sure everyone else can also. read more

Michelle is a very welcoming, nice person, she is quick to respond, and communicates well. It was my first time getting a facial and I was very impressed with how she walked me through what she was doing and sharing what products she used while also creating a calm and relaxing environment. The products she used were very gentle on my skin and I left feeling hydrated and clean. I will definitely be seeing her regularly! read more

Simoly the best! I always walk out with my face, feeling clean, vibrant, and glowing.

I got a lash lift from Michelle and it was my first one ever. Michelle walked me through the process and made sure I understood everything before we started. Throughout the process she talked to me and let me know what step was next. I felt very comfortable and time flew by. I was very happy with the turnout. My lashes look longer even without mascara and Michelle checked in a couple days later to make sure everything was good and asked if I have any questions. I strongly recommend Michelle if you are looking for beauty services!! read more

I feel extremely safe and much cared for with the added precautions Michelle has taken since COVID. Her use of gloves, mask, shield hasn't changed her calming energy or the wonderful feel of my facials. Still as awesome as always Mahalo Nui Loa Michelle read more

If I could give Michelle more stars I would because her service is amazing! It was my first time doing a facial and upon texting Michelle to schedule an appointment she asked what were my skin concerns and ended up recommending a European facial. Location is easy to find with 2-hour parking. When I was greeted by her at the door, I was taken to her area where she did a quick consultation and then shared what to expect during the appointment. Michelle is easygoing and down to earth. You can't help but feel welcomed and comfortable around her. The European facial was great! Like others have previously mentioned, the extraction part can be uncomfortable and even intense for some (depending on your level of tolerance) but in the end it's all worth it! I came in with dull dehydrated skin and left not only with hydrated skin but I could visibly see a glow! Try it out! I totally recommend getting your skincare needs from Michelle. read more

A good friend was so sweet and got me a gift certificate from here. I have had some facials a few times from other places before but I have never kept up with it. I had the signature package and I really enjoyed it! Meeting Michelle for the first time, I found her so easy to talk to. She explained each procedure and showed me the blackheads and white heads that came out. To finish it up she gives you a massage that felt so relaxing. I ended up going home so calm and relaxed I took a nice nap. Definitely making another appointment and even talked my husband into scheduling an appointment. Thanks Michelle! read more

Warning: A totally blissed out experience!! Just home from an amazing facial with Michelle, it was long overdue and an early birthday present to myself. So worth it. The salon is tiny, but very cosy and calming. Michelle is lovely, she has this wonderful relaxed aura about her and is very welcoming. I had the microdermabrasion facial. I'm not going to lie, the extraction and exfoliating process are uncomfortable but the amazing massage and mask are just sooooo fantastic! My skin looked amazing, it had really brightened up and was so soft to touch. I'm already booked in again! read more

Michelle is very personable and extremely welcoming. She sends text reminders to make sure you are aware of your appts and haven't forgot. This comes in handy because of how far in advance your appt usually has to be booked . I received the European facial which lasts about 75 mins. My total came out to $78 with tax and the facial includes steaming, extractions , and a should and hand massage as well as a few different cleansing products. I love that she doesn't talk too much which gives you time to just relax and enjoy your few moments of peace. This is especially important to me having 2 toddlers and a newborn at home lol. The only downside is how booked she stays which is good for her lol. read more

It was definitely time for a facial as my last facial was pre-pandemic. I noticed my skin was dull and not bright as it used to be; it was also getting dry. I realized age is not a factor for dull looking skin after my facial with Michelle. The Signature Facial really brought my skin back to a dewy level. I will continue to take care of my skin by visiting Michelle at least four times a year. read more

I recently visited Michelle to get a lash lift. I had gotten lash lifts before so I knew what to expect. Michelle made me feel comfortable right away and I felt like I'd known her forever. My lashes looked really good! Actually, they probably looked the best they've ever looked. My lashes were clearly separated and not clumped together like I've had with some lash lifts in the past. She also messaged me a few days after my lash lift to check in and see if I was still happy with my results. Talk about incredible customer service! Two and a half weeks later my lashes still look amazing! They're still very curled and if her lash lift standard is anything to go by, I can't wait to try the rest of her services. I can't recommend Michelle enough! read more

Did my 1st lash lift and i'm loving it! I was very impressed by how the lift gave life to my short natural lashes. Michelle was gentle & always making sure that I was comfortable when she was working on my lashes. If you want natural lashes & are not one to keep up with extensions, you may want to consider a lash lift. read more

Amazing. Michelle loves her job and it shows. She is such a friendly, accommodating and fabulous Esthetician. I have been to many on island spas (Aulani, Hilton, Turtle Bay, etc.) and esthetician clinics......by far, she is the best! Prices are very reasonable. The clinic is located on the 2nd floor of the Aiea Commercial Center building above Sushi Spot. If you are familiar with Roy Sakuma's Ukulele studio, it is located in the same lot but separate building. Can't miss it when driving into the lot to park. Upon entering, you are greeted with a wonderful aroma. It immediately gave us a welcoming feel. There are 4 chairs allowing for people to wait for their appointment time. You are also welcomed to coffee or tea. The restroom is located outside by key access only. My daughter had a facial and I had the European facial. This was my daughter's first facial and she was so comfortable with it, she readily accepted a follow up. My European facial was AMAZING. Michelle asked me if I had any concerns or medical issues that she should know about. I appreciate that. She didn't only have me fill out a form like many other spa establishments do. The neck and hand massage at the end was fabulous. Of course, I will be seeing her again. I appreciate her professionalism as well as her love for what she does!! Thank you Michelle. See you again! :) read more

It's 2018 and Korean skin is in, but where does someone begin to get smooth flawless skin after years of doing all the wrong things? You start with Michelle. I actually tried the microdermabrasion with facial for my first time treatment, and it was magnificent. I was made aware of all of the types of ways I'd be uncomfortable during the trial and it wasn't that bad. I was a little shocked that there was a needle to my face, but I was familiar with the feeling because my mom had done it to me before. It's because I have these white heads under my eyes that just could never be popped unless you made an incision. She continued by extracting my large disgusting black heads on my nose... and poor Michelle I SNEEZED ALL OVER HER HANDS. I felt terrible, but she assured me that it's nothing I could control because of all the nerves in my nostrils. It didn't take much for me to feel comforted because she was very genuine about the process. Thank you again. As the procedure continued she cradled my head like a new born baby and began to sand all my impurities away. This followed with a facial and massage that felt like all my troubles were swept away. I know that one treatment will not make me look like a KPOP star, but it's been a few weeks and I'm very satisfied with the results. I will be back to continue the microdermabrasion facials and keep you updated on the look. read more

My first experience with Michelle's Signature Facial was the very best! She has strong hands to work my face, extractions was slightly painful but she had to get to the core to clean my face. Neck and shoulder massage (wonderful) I felt so relaxed during and after my facial. My face looks cleaner, smoother, refresh and younger! Michelle gave me advice on taking care of my skin. I use daily skin products but now having Michelle's facials every 6 weeks I will age gracefully. Grateful she will be on my facial journey. You are worth the experience for self care by Michelle. read more

Aesthetics has become a huge thing nowadays. I get compliments from a lot of people that my skin is so nice and what I do to get this desired look. I just use cleansers and do home masks lol. Honestly, I wasn't really looking into professional facials until now since it's been booming. So I decided to go on Yelp to check out facials done by professionals and Michelle was the first one that popped up in my area. She's located right above sushi spot in that Aiea Commercial Building. Same parking lot as sushi spot. Just walk up the stairs. She does practice with her good friend Jennie. So it's the two of them. Very small waiting area but it has complimentary water and I believe coffee. Really neat and clean place. I was kind of nervous going in for my first professional facial but Michelle def made me feel very comfortable and explained everything she was doing. I got the European Facial (recommended for first timers to really get the pores clean). The extractions was pretty sore and uncomfortable but it wasn't too bad as I thought it would be. It wasn't pleasant though lol. But she does make it worth it with her bomb massages! Lol. I didn't want her to stop. I recommend her if you're around the area. And the pricing is not too bad! It's actually cheaper than a lot of places I know. Go go go! read more

Michelle was very accommodating & accurate with response, she called me back right away & scheduled me I got a underarm wax service , it was fast & she also followed up with me to see how my skin was doing. I enjoyed the treatment, results & her service read more

This review is WAY over due! I've had the pleasure of having Michelle do my facials for YEARS now. She is my go to face lady and should be yours as well. Every time I see her I know my pores are going to be so happy! Michelle is such a wonderful person with perfect spa etiquette. I love her cozy space, I always feel so relaxed at the end of my appointments! Michelle takes her time to give you the best facial ever. Of course no one likes to get their pores cleansed but it is so worth it in the end when your skin feels baby soft! She makes it up to you with a magical massage. Remember to pre book your next appointments because this magical woman books up fast!! read more

I typically get my facial treatments through my dermatologist, but wanted a more personal treatment experience. I found Michelle on Yelp and super glad I did. She is very patient and informative. I originally scheduled a Microderm, but after going over my skin goals we decided to do the acne facial instead. I have never done the high frequency treatment, but I noticed a difference soon after. I will be back for another acne facial, and will start the Microderm treatments soon after. Thank you again! I will definitely continue my treatments here. read more

This was my first time getting a facial from Michelle & it was by far the best facial I have ever had! She answered all my questions & gave me some products to test out at home. She went on to explain how to avoid getting those pesky little bumps on my forehead with more exfoliation and masks. She also went the extra mile during the extraction process. It was not the most comfortable process, but she showed me all the junk that came out of my face & let me tell you it was a lot! It was the most thorough extraction process I have ever had & my skin was so much more smooth afterwards! Michelle was really amazing & her prices are very affordable! Already have my next appt booked! read more

My experience was amazing! Great location, tons of parking, place was clean and comfortable. My face felt clean and smooth after treatment. Her prices are very reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend Michelle! I'll definitely be going back on a regular basis. read more

I got a European facial this past weekend with Michelle and she was great!! She's so sweet, also very good at explaining what she's doing and if you have any questions/concerns. I would highly recommend seeing her, I can't wait to go back! read more

This review is long overdue. I have nothing but good things to say about Michelle. I have to say I don't plan on looking for anyone else to do what she does because Ive been a satisfied client for 4+ years!!! Very professional, clean, organized, and amazing! When I got my first ever wax I was so anxious, but I was not disappointed!!! I was so glad I didn't have to shop around for someone else!!! Who'd want that!?!? Not me. I have to say that at the end of my first appointment I knew she was the one. Ive been seeing Michelle for my waxing and facials for the past 4 years. I am not disappointed at all. She has taken care of me even while I was pregnant and she still doesn't disappoint. I always leave her feeling so well taken care of. So glad to have found her. read more

After requesting an appointment through yelp she quickly responded and got a facial set up for the following week. She stays constantly in touch with her conformation/reminder text and a follow up which I greatly appreciated! She was also very knowledgeable and explained everything before and while she was doing them and answered any questions I had, even gave a mask sample to continue working on my skin between appointments. I will see her again and would recommend you too see her as well! read more

I have been searching off and on over the last few years for a really good person to go to for my eyebrow waxing needs and I was able to find a great person in Michelle! I have not gotten my eyebrows professionally done in over 5 or so years. I have just lived with trying to maintain them and hoping they look decent lol. I figure why not go on the search again and luckily I came across Skincare by Michelle DLC with consistent 5-star reviews. The process was so smooth from setting up the appointment to the actual appointment. Michelle was so fast with responding to an appointment request and getting it booked. I made sure to review the information on her website for the new COVID-19 procedures before the appointment. The location was so easy to find and the parking was convenient. I texted Michelle once I got there and she responded quickly to let me know she needed to prep and would let me know when to come up. Once I was notified to head up, Michelle was there to greet me and went through the temperature check and form to fill out. I felt completely safe in that space. I have had eyebrow waxing done before, but this experience was 100 times better. I felt so comfortable with Michelle and she talked with me first on what she recommends and what my thoughts were before starting. She made easy conversation throughout the appointment and I just felt so relaxed. The waxing itself was so nice, not rough or too hot like I've experienced before. Once completed, she made sure I was satisfied with my brows and I was! It was better than I imagined. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be going back when I need some waxing done. I felt so safe the whole time and so relaxed. I highly recommend Michelle for all your waxing needs! read more

My first review and let me tell you how amazing my first facial and eyebrow waxing was. Michelle is a very sweet lady who takes pride in what she does and by no means does she push unnecessary procedures onto you. I originally came in for a micro-dermal facial because of another yelper posting about his amazing experience but she explained to me that it would be unwise to do this procedure considering I wanted to wax my eyebrows. I settled for the European that she recommended. I can honestly say that everything about this was fantastic. Michelle's personality is very pleasant and combined with how my skin feels right now and how my eyebrows look I would recommend anyone to come to her. I will warn you that she typically is booked 4-6 weeks out but it won't hurt to ask and see if she has something earlier I got lucky myself! read more

My first experience. Michelle was absolutely amazing, accommodating & professional. I had researched many waxing establishments and Michelle's business kept popping up. The reviews about her services were very positive and so I decided to contact her to make an appointment. She was very accommodating with my structured schedule and we were able to set a date for my First Brazilian Wax Experience. I arrived to my appt a little early so I could give myself enough time to find her business and to find parking as well. Michelle greeted me very warmly which made me feel a little more comfortable. I filled out the customer questionnaire/record, she looked at it, asked me a few questions and then we were ready for the service to begin. Being that this was my first ever BW, I was still feeling a bit nervous. But Michelle was amazing in the way she tried to make me feel comfortable by explaining what she was doing now, doing next, etc. That really made me feel at ease. As the process continued, I must've asked about 2 dozen questions regarding BW and she was able to answer every single one of them. Her professionalism is why I'm suggesting everyone to go see Michelle for your waxing needs. At the end of the service, we booked the maintenance appt. A week after the service Michelle texted to see how I was doing and if there was any concerns I was having. Her follow up shows just how much she cares for her clients and how passionate she is about her business. Thanks Michelle! read more

Michelle is amazing! The moment I walked into her clinic- it brought a warm sense of relaxation and a "home away from home" feeling. The price for all of her services is reasonable and worth it. It was my first time coming in for a facial and eyebrow-lip wax. My European facial left my face glowing and flawless. The extraction hurt for a tad bit, but the results went well. She also took the time to accommodate all of my needs and questions. I can see why her clients have remained with her for more than 10 years! I look forward to receiving her services from now on. Thank you again and I will make sure to spread the word to anyone who may need a facial! :) read more

Review by Claudia C. Michelle is professional and personable, exactly the kind of personality that you would hope when getting a wax. She is super friendly and easy to talk to. She wasn't the first I went to on the island for getting a wax, but once I found her I haven't been anywhere else! She recently moved to a new salon and I still go to her, in fact, I'll stick with her no matter where she goes! (as long as she stays on Oahu) Her prices are more than reasonable and she does a great job and her consistency is what is most important to me. I know some people that go to nail salons for their waxing for cheaper, but from what I've seen they don't do a very good job and I definitely don't trust them. You get what you pay for and with Michelle you always get exactly what you ask for and an enjoyable experience. I recommended her to everyone looking for an experienced esthetician! 5 STARS, as good as it gets!!! read more
