Skincare by Michelle DLC

I’ve been searching for a place to do my eye brows without being disappointed. Michelle is my savior! Before seeing Michelle I was going to get my eyebrows threaded but they’d take off too much from the top causing them to look uneven. I grew then out and Michele did her magic. Wish I took a before and after picture to post. Almost forgot that she gives a discount to new customers

LOVE this place! found my new favorite waxing salon! I saw Michelle and she was amazing! She was so sweet and gentle. The cool thing was that she talked to me the entire time and made me feel very comfortable, which I thought was great because I usually get very nervous and shy when I’m about to have my lady parts waxed, ek! Michelle took amazing care of me and gave me great advise on aftercare as well. She even took the time to tweeze a few stray hairs that were too short to be waxed. Normally after waxes, at previous salons, I experience sensitivity and a raw feeling, but I was relieved that after my wax with her I didn’t feel any of that.

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!

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! :)

I had an appointment with Michelle about two weeks ago, which was my first time getting a facial. She recommended the European facial (which includes an awesome shoulder/​neck/​hand massage) so she could get a good idea of what my skin was like. The extractions on my nose hurt a bit but she did those first and then the rest of my face really wasn’t that bad. I had a lot of small red marks on my face from the extractions but they were completely gone later that night. The next day, I had two spots that turned into pimples, which could have been brought out by either the extractions or the mask she used, but either way they disappeared within a few days. Today, my skin is looking so much better than it has in a long time. I do credit the facial, but also the fact that Michelle gave me some really good tips on how to use products at home so that I can better maintain my skin myself between facials, which I think has made a huge difference. I booked my second appointment immediately after my first one was done and her next available time was 7 weeks away, but trust me she is well worth the wait! (:

Michelle was professional, knowledgeable, and very quick. There are moments of pain and discomfort which is expected during a waxing procedure but it was over before I knew it. I’m so happy with the results! Totally worth it! I already booked my next two appointments.

Michelle had been sweet enough to squeeze me in after a cancelation with a day notice. The work she did was amazing and completely through. This is the 3^rd time I’ve ever gotten a wax but it was by far the best wax I’ve ever received.
Thank you so much!!!

I first went to Michelle because I needed a wax ASAP and she conveniently stayed late one night just so she could help me. I’ve been going to her ever since and love her! Waxing is never a fun process, but she’s quick and makes you feel comfortable. I am getting married next year, so I’ve started to get facials from her as well. She does book out far, but that just shows how awesome she is!

Quick response, very clean place, super friendly and professional! Michelle booked me the night before I needed her services and did such an awesome job waxing my underarms! Quick and Painless Now I’m ready for the Paradise Cup! Thank you, Michelle!

Super nice woman and very accommodating, letting you know all of her availabilities! She is also one who is willing to fit you in where she has cancellations. She was very attentive to what I wanted, yet gave her professional opinion where/​when needed. She has such a great personality that you dont feel like just a client, you feel like a friend! Took the time to explain the effects of the waxing and to find out if i had any existing conditions that might be affected by the treatment. I would highly recommend going too Michelle!!! :)))

Would you NOT go to someone who has amazing reviews on Unilocal?I don’t think so. I am currently in my third trimester and was in dire need of a BIG clean up before my big day (lol), and I am sooo glad I went to Michelle. She took real good care of me. I couldn’t pass up someone with great reviews on Unilocal– no, no & she was everything, everyone had said to be on Unilocal.She followed up with me (I think a day or two after my visit) to see how my skin was reacting. It was smooth & perfect. I RECOMMEND, I RECOMMEND, I RECOMMEND Def. going back!

Michelle is such a sweetheart! I emailed her after finding her on Unilocal yesterday and she was able to squeeze me in for a much needed eyebrow wax… even though she said she is normally booked 4 – 6 weeks in advance! That’s when you know she does good work lol. Happy to have finally found a good wax place closer to home :)

I saw Michelle for a facial and she did an awesome job. Very friendly. Answering any questions I had about trying to help my acne and scars get better. She took her time and getting all the extractions out that she could. She explained how my face would be a little bothered that day or the next. I had two break outs from everything being clean but now just about a week my blemishes are looking a lot better and most have cleared to nothing.

Michelle did a wonderful job on my skin and had learned from the best! If there was a rating for 10 stars, she’d get that. Her facial room is clean and relaxing and location is conveniently located for me. So glad I met her.

Michelle is very clean & sanitized. This was my first time going to her for a Brazilian wax since I was on vacation and needed to get cleaned up desperately. I explained to her that I’ve only had one aesthetician handle me for 4 years and through 2 pregnancies. With this being said I am skeptical with trying out a new aesthetician and have a standard and level of care I expect. Michelle by far exceeded my expectations! I told her I haven’t been done in about 6 months, and she completely handled me with extra care. I would go back to her whenever I am on the island and am in need of a clean up!
What really topped off her service is that a few days later after the wax, she checked up on me to see how everything was! If that’s not a full service I don’t know what is! Good Job Michelle!

Since my last wax lady closed shop I had to find someone else & after going on Unilocal and seeing Michelle’s business, I had to try. She’s located in Aiea in the shopping center right across the street from Times, so very conveniently located! I went to her for a Brazilian wax. I think I found myself a new waxing salon: D
Service:
She was very informative about her products and ways to help your skin after your wax. She used hard wax which is more gentle and less painful, but personally I feel is less effective then soft wax. She did end up using soft wax at the end as well to get the finer hairs. I’m used to Brazilians but this had to be one of my least painful experiences ever! One down fall with such great service is that their demand is high, she’s booked 4 – 6 weeks in advance, so I was lucky to just so happen to steal an opening from a cancelation.
Parking:
Parking can be limited if you go on a weekend like I did because there are a lot of small shops around the area. Once you find parking though you’re good to go! I was lucky to have found a spot a little sooner then later. There is more parking behind her building which most people miss.
Price:
Her price was just perfect for me! I have no problem, however, paying a higher price for great service but her price was on point for a Brazilian. She also gives a 25% off for her first time customers which was great! And she has a standard flat rate for maintance for Brazilians.

I’ve had facials by other aestheticians and thus far Michelle’s service is one that stands out. This was my second time I’ve had a facial done by her. Her procedure felt very methodical and did not feel rushed even though I walked in around 10 minutes late.
The ambiance of the treatment had a very light and relaxing atmosphere. Low ambient light with relaxing therapeutic type of music playing in the background. Although the treatment room is located in a busy hair salon, the noise from the salon area did not affect the aura of the room.
Michelle had kindly suggested that perhaps she could «clean up» my eyebrow area which I accepted. Little did I know she meant getting an eyebrow waxing of that area. I’m not sure what else I was thinking that could remove hair. Regardless of the pain I endured from my first brow waxing I’m very pleased with the outcome. I no longer have one long brow but two, one for each eye.
I feel that Michelle truly cares about her customers. Prior to leaving she provided helpful hints and recommend and types of products that I could do post-​treatment for maintenance.

Atmosphere — So serene and relaxing it’s located inside a hair salon and you would never know once you’ve stepped inside her «office» she has relaxing music playing it was almost pleasant waxing my brows!
Location — Like I said its in a salon but you can always call her and she will guide you to the right place!
Customer Service — My favorite part, she was OUTSTANDING so patient with me (since I got lost and was 30min late) and so kind. She greeted me kindly and made me feel like we were already friends. I swear to you she has magician hands or something because it hurt not one bit, she was very gentle!
I just got to Oahu not too long ago and I’m very picky with my eyebrows she did everything correct with no pain, she has much experience and I recommend her! She ALSO does facials and I will update with my next experience with her :)

My sister is a regular of Michelle and got me a gift certificate since I’ve never had a facial before. I was warned that the extraction part would hurt and it did, but only lasted a couple minutes. The rest of the time was so relaxing and wonderful. I left glowing, relaxed and happy.

Had my first traditional facial today. I’ve had a couple microdermabrasions at other locations and they were good but this was fantastic! I picked Skincare by Michelle De La Cruz because there was a Groupon available and because she had excellent reviews on Unilocal.
Michelle is very friendly and professional. She gave me a sheet to fill out that asked about my concerns and she reviewed it with me before we got started. She told me in advance what she was doing but also discussed the treatment with me as we went along.
As for the treatment. it was great! Michelle started by cleansing and the exfoliating. This was followed by steaming to open up my pores. Next came the extractions, which she warned me in advance would sting. It wasn’t bad at all though. She was quick and sure in what she did. The shoulder massage that followed was terrific. She told me to relax and I certainly did. I actually nodded off more than once. She finished with a mask that left my skin feeling really soft.
To top everything off, she gave me a little gift bag to take home and a sample of the mask that she used. It was a wonderful first facial and I plan on returning to Skincare by Michelle De La Cruz.
