Mahalo Erika !

I got my brows microbladed by the owner, Hideko. While I do like how my brows turned out, the…read moreexperience itself was uncomfortable enough that I had to write a review (my first negative one). I initially asked for natural looking thicker brows, but she seemed hesitant to do them thick the first time, so I asked for thicker ones during my touch up. She disagreed with what I wanted. That's fine, but the way she responded was rude and made me feel bad for asking. I also had been told the touch-up was free (the website says this too), but they tried to charge me an extra few hundred. It only got corrected after I spoke up twice (they doubled down on the price the first two times I asked , which felt sneaky). The experience was so bad I won't be going back there.

Guest parking is straight ahead to the end, turn right. Or they have several stalls on other floors which they let you know when you receive confirmation on your appointment. Spa is on the ground floor in an open hallway on makai side of elevator area. Press button to be admitted. Little sitting area to wait for your technician after they pleasantly check you in. I come here to see Hideko for my eyebrows. My friend had recommended her after I admired her work, and she didn't disappoint. The previous person I used at another place retired so I was happy to find Hideko who took her time asking me questions on what I wanted, liked, didn't like, and offered good suggestions to make some changes. Relaxing to lay down and she has clean, pleasant smelling hands- don't laugh- some people do not- and has a very gentle touch so I'm never nervous. The anesthesia is applied and takes about 20 min to kick in. Hideko then explains what she's going to do- and she does this every time- no matter how many times I've been back for touch ups. I love that. The procedure took about 45 minutes for me. Loved the way it turned out and she then explained what would happen to my brows and not to worry, it was normal. She gives a little packet with pictures of what brows will look like over the next couple weeks along with some bacitracin to apply each day to prevent infections. The touch ups may be scheduled for the following year and they are very good about sending reminders for the annual. I believe the touch ups about $200 but it may have increased due to the way things are nowadays. I'm seeing her next week so can update this review. Mahalo Hideko and Salon Island Beauty!

I'd been curious about getting my eyebrows done for a long time but was hesitant because I use…read moretretinoin and had seen so many regret/removal videos. A friend of mine had hers done a few years ago and said it was one of the best things she's ever done, which finally convinced me to go for it. I found Beauty Babe by Michele on Yelp, and her all five-star reviews immediately stood out. Even so, it still took me a few months to make the appointment (it's hard to pause tretinoin!), but I'm SO glad I did. Michele is exactly as everyone says--sweet, humble, and incredibly talented. She took her time during both the initial procedure and the follow-up, listened carefully, and made adjustments until everything was perfect. I honestly couldn't be happier with my brows. I still use tretinoin, and even if my brows fade a bit faster, I'm totally fine coming back for touch-ups. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of her work. Highly recommend Michele--you won't regret it!

Thank goodness for the Yelp app, which helped me find this stellar business listing, Beauty Babe. I…read morewas impressed with the owner's (Michele Malek) experience, photo gallery, response time, service offerings, and convenient location. Since leaving the workforce over ten years ago, I imagined waking up, rolling out of bed, not doing my make-up (although I minimally used eye and lip cosmetics due to the nature of my job), and looking decent. However, about seven years ago, I decided to try microblading my thinning and shortening eyebrows, and my husband lovingly teased me about having Rottweiler eyebrows. The painless semi-permanent microbladed eyebrows usually lasted two to three years, with proper annual to no maintenance. I was set for a maintenance appointment when I suddenly discovered that my usual artist had retired. I was left in a lurch because I planned to get the maintenance done before traveling domestically and abroad from late last year. I contacted Beauty Babe to inquire about her microblading and ombré powder tattooing services, appointment availability, and cost. Michele's friendliness and reassurance for assistance came through her voice. She also described the difference between microblading and ombré powder eyebrows, and I quickly agreed to book an appointment to see for myself. On the appointment day, Michele sent me a message regarding directions, parking lot availability, and security in her salon. I didn't take any interior photos for privacy because there were other clients and artists, even though the salon had privacy partitions and separate rooms for tattooing. After measuring my eyebrows, Michele applied makeup to my faded eyebrows to show me the difference between the microblading and ombré powder techniques. My only concern was having my eyebrows look natural and not dramatic. She did a few tweaks, which enhanced the shape, applied the topical anesthetic, and then did her magic. Within a couple of hours, I emerged from the salon with perfect and natural-looking eyebrows or, as they say, "eyebrows on fleek." She gave me an After Care package with instructions, mild liquid soap, tissues, a small tube of Vitamin A&D ointment, and yummy Ferrero Rocher candies. I look forward to an initial touch-up appointment within the next six to eight weeks, just before I'll be "on the road" again. Michele's excellent artistry has saved me time and made looking decent after waking up in the mornings even more enjoyable.

As a woman over 60, I was nervous because I've seen brow tattoos that look very dramatic, and I wanted something natural that would simply fill in the areas where I've lost hair over time. Tina was absolutely amazing. She explained the entire process step by step, checked in often about my comfort level, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. She matched my brow color perfectly and really listened to what I wanted. The results look natural and exactly what I hoped for. She also explained what to expect after the procedure, how to care for my brows, and even followed up with me by text to make sure everything was healing well. I'm looking forward to going back for my touch-up and highly recommend Tina--especially if you're looking for natural-looking brows and a provider who truly cares.

This is 4 weeks later after healing and I'm loving how natural they look! I included a photo of myself with and without makeup and as you can see, they work great either way . Tina was very sweet, professional, detail-oriented and made sure you felt comfortable the entire time. I'm so happy with my results and would recommend her to anyone!

Because I do not come in frequently, I typically see anyone who is there (I understand that is my fault, and now I am aware that I shouldn't just go to anyone). However, every time I have been here, I have had wonderful experiences. I came in today to get my brow done before the new year. I went into Hawaii Threading (Keʻeaumoku location) around 2:26 PM. The lady who took me (I didn't get her name because she didn't introduce herself) finished my brows in 5 minutes, and that isn't an exaggeration. When I left, around my brows were very inflamed, which had happened before, so I thought nothing of it. However, I didn't notice until I got home that my brows were extremely uneven. First off, the shape of both brows is different. One of my brows has way more hair than the other but is shorter, and the other is very thin. She did "trim" my brows, but the hairs are uneven. I'm very disappointed with the results and wish I'd gotten her name, because this is unacceptable.

Not only that, the application was very quality. My brows barely even peeled and I had great retention. (In the past I had to get procedures redone because of poor retention) but this time they were perfect! The cherry on top is that she offers a free touch up after the initial session to just make sure they're perfect. This was the deciding factor of why I went with studio Masami and it really helped me to feel like she goes above and beyond to provide a great service. Overall I'm very happy with her and will be returning to her from now on for all eye brow needs. If you're on the fence, GO WITH ALANNA!

I rarely ever write reviews, but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I went…read morein for a lash lift and brow lamination, and it turned out to be the worst service I've ever received. Both my eyelashes and eyebrows were completely burned. I normally have strong, healthy hair, but the owner left the perming solution on too long while she went to finish other things. Now, more than two weeks later, my lashes are still damaged beyond styling, rough to the touch, and my brows feel like brittle horse hair. What shocked me most is that the owner never even apologized. Instead, she suggested putting more chemicals on my already destroyed lashes and brows, which would only make the damage worse. On top of that, she constantly pushes products and treatments--even ones unsuitable for sensitive skin--making the whole experience feel more like a sales pitch than a professional service. To make matters worse, many of the positive reviews you see here are incentivized with discounts, which makes them misleading. The only credit I can give is to the esthetician who does facials--she actually knows her craft and recommended a product that worked wonders on my skin. Unfortunately, because of the owner's lack of responsibility, skill, and professionalism, I will not be returning. If you care about the health of your lashes, brows, or skin, please be cautious before booking here. Answer for the CARELESS owner: It's honestly mind-boggling how you refuse to admit the terrible work you did on my lashes and eyebrows. They're not just "over-curled" -- they are burned in spots, and I am now missing many lashes thanks to your careless work. Yes, you offered for another technician to do them another day, but I had scheduled my appointment for that day. I'm a busy woman, I don't have time to sit around in a salon every other day because you can't manage your schedule or use proper products. You should be ashamed for trying to justify what you did. There is no excuse. The truth is simple: you are a terrible technician, and clients should know the risk they're taking by trusting you with their lashes or brows.

After looking at many ads, sites, and word of mouth, I chose to go to Yuriko of Summer Eyes…read more I've been going to Yuriko since 2022 for initial and maintenance eyebrow and eyeliner procedures. I chose Yuriko and would not go to anyone else because: Artistry 1. She is an artist. Her work shown in photos is even, smooth, enhancing, and natural. Her color choices are good. I'm cautious about anything permanent, I trust her. I get compliments on my brows and eyeliner. So far, 5 people have asked me for her contact info. 2. She individualizes each person's procedure and listens to what end effect is desired. She noticed that I raise my eyebrows a lot in conversation, so adjusted my eyebrow design to work with it (so I wouldn't look shocked/crazy). 3. I'm not a stunner, but Yuriko has helped my face look like a put together version - AND I don't have to do my brows or eyeliner daily. Experience 1. Yuriko has years of experience and training from both Japan and the US. 2. She continues to keep up with industry standards and products. She goes out of state for training, product shows. Professionalism 1. Yuriko measures, consults w you, explains, and we agree on what's going to be done before she starts. 2. She's warm and approachable. e.g., I am comfortable telling her I need more numbing cream during the process. 3. She provides pre-and post-instructions before the procedure. 4. Her prices are reasonable. Facilities 1. Free parking 2. Clean and cozy 3. Nearby bathroom available I'm glad I found Yuriko. She is sweet, caring, artistic, and approachable.

When that day came around Lily numbed my lips and started. Everything was fine until she started talking about her personal life.

Also my lips has developed a severe reaction where it tingles and it keeps drying up. I'm awaiting on a test where they had to punch my lip to get skin. They say it may have been from filth which the place is cute but there's garbage, cotton tips everywhere! I'm now worried if the needle was clean! Save yourself and go somewhere else that's safe! It's not worth it especially when I paid in full. The vibe was okay at first but seriously too much information to a complete stranger! I'm glad I didn't pay to get my lashes done!
