To give you some background: my hormones are out of whack, I have sensitive skin, and I have a fair/medium complexion with hyperpigmentation. It's like a beauty trifecta from hell!
I found CJ at the beginning of this year from online reviews and decided to give her a try, especially since her prices were super reasonable and she was right in Kaimuki. Over the course of this year, I've gone for a face wax every six weeks or so and she does such a great job. The wax she uses doesn't overly irritate my skin and I like that she listens when I tell her what I'm looking for with my eyebrows - which is a truly rare and much valued trait in the beauty world, apparently!
I also have had her signature facials done three times and I absolutely love them! Now, I'm the kind of girl who wants an aesthetician who really de-congests my pores in addition to doing the massaging and relaxing thing. Her facials are A-mazing! My skin always looks clear and clean. With my sensitive skin, the fact that she can do a face wax and facial back-to-back and still get my skin to be clean, glowing, and not irritated....that's a testament to CJ's skill and the investment she makes in using high-quality products! CJ really spends her time making every minute count when she gives a facial and I've always left feeling relaxed and looking radiant.
Quick tip: If you're not into heavy scrubbing or deep extractions, just let her know. I like the intensity she brings when doing the exfoliating and extracting, but I know others may find it a wee bit too much/sore. I'm kind of a ""no pain, no gain"" in this respect. :)
