Had a massage and it was honestly not very good. Had an "Advanced" Intern for $50 plus tip. He did have a mask and face shield so kind of like a blond darth vader. Did not seem confident and honestly creeped me out and kept talking and asking me questions during the massage and kind of breathing heavily, so hard to relax. He seemed nervous. Not sure how he was advanced. I would go back but maybe try an actual professional. Disappointing.

First off I would give zero stars if I could. Before going here my boyfriend and I called to make an appointment. We had a gift certificate from Christmas we wanted to use. The receptionist told us we would have to pay an extra $20.95. And although hesitant we agreed. My boyfriend and I go in and they give him and dont ask if he prefers male or female they automatically give him a male (again we just go with the flow trying not to judge even though he already felt uncomfortable) the male therapist tells my boyfriend he prefers that he keep his clothes on. Again my boyfriend goes with the flow.

I've called the administrative office of this school for information and I had a negative experience towards the end. I was intending to become a massage therapists after over 900 hours of education in the mainland and was hoping to find answers to becoming licensed in the state of Hawaii. The woman I called sounded very reluctant to help me and schedule to call back on a Sunday, 4 days in advance from my first call. She never gave me a call back and I tried calling back with no answer. The next day, she had an excuse about overwhelm by workload and taking over other student's client. She is

The interns are great and work hard to gain the hours needed for cert. Cert masseuse are good. Each person has their style. Ask for what you want.
