Herbal Spa And Salon, Honolulu HI

My husband and I loved the 3-hr session in our own private spa room. The first hour is spend enjoying the hot tub, cold plunge, wet sauna & dry sauna, followed by a one-hour scrub and then a one-hour massage. I highly recommend this business and have been telling all my friends about it. My only regret is not discovering this hole-in-the-wall spa it sooner. A must when you're on Oahu!

I enjoyed my time immensely. The salt room is relaxing and a great detox. The full service is very affordable and a treat for the whole body. Do anticipate being nude throughout the process although you are given a robe. Men and women are segregated.

Amazing services! I highly recommend Cathy for her services! She will honor the Groupon prices with purchasing them. She’s very professional and consistent with her massages.

Ok
So here's my scoop.
This little hideaway in Honolulu is a local diamond in the ruff.
Ok so I had no other information to go in on except I had heard previously they ask you to be in the buff, (more on that later)
And they can be pretty deep massages. (which is precisely why I wanted to try them out)
So first things first - just do what they say.
From the moment I stepped over the threshold of a run down neighborhood in kakaako I almost felt I was in another time.
An old asian bathhouse- like no one wanted to know me not I them but yet welcoming and comfortable
The cute thing is the therapists are all older Korean speaking women who do they're work in undies and brackets-more on this to.
. It really was its own unique cuteness
(I'm pretty sure this is not that kind of place)
You are led into a quite remarkable hot sauna room layered with Himalayan salt rocks beneath you
Constructed to breathe in the salt for about 20 min.
I think I lasted 10.
Then to rest in the dry sauna, hot tub and cold plunge for the remainder of the hour so that you can prepare your skin and muscles for.um what was to come.
The next 2 hrs I was in and out of a deep haze as I was exfoliated and scrubbed for 1 hr straight that's right -every inch of me- back to them being in the buff
In my care practice I also encourage people to dress down and explore being comfortable in they're own skin however I at first was shy and concerned she we probably start by telling me I was to skinny then judge my every inch. I was very happy to realize I felt so comfortable and they could care less as it really is a fuller experience being nude as compared to having cloths on they're.
Admist the scrubbing of my body (I don't think I have a dead skin cell left on my whole body)
She would poor large buckets of nice warm water to rinse me off.
I then realized why they wear what they do.
She gets as wet and oily as I do
Ok then the hot yogurt body bath- as I layed on the table she came over with a large container of warm viscous liquid and started massaging it into my body.
Then placing a frozen cucumber mash on my hot face (after she yogurted that to!) the chill of the cucumber as she continued to pour sumptuous amounts of what I believe to be mineral oil on me again and again.
Elbows knuckles extremely long deep strokes running from my feet to my neck and then back down again.
Stretching my arms and neck and legs again and again.
Oh and then she washes my hair and puts a hot cloth on my face and a nice hot wrap under my meck.
All in all this was A 3 hr experience for far less than I've payed for much much less
The neighbor it's in mmmm not in great condition it's a neighborhood with a lot of history however pretty sure you want to go in knowing it seems a little seedy outside of the Korean bath house.like I said a diamond in the ruff.
These women know what they're doing and have done it for year's.
If you were to ask me if I would go again? The answer is a definitely huge YES and I will invite some friends

Just went to this place for the first time after moving to Hawaii. I'm so glad they're open during these crazy times. Everyone is very polite and professional; and the spa is nice and clean. I got the scrub, massage and facial package. I was the only customer there, so it felt like my own personal spa.
I definitely recommend booking an appointment with them.

If you want to really relax, the out of the way Spa is wonderful. A unique salt sauna will make you feel like you visited the Himalayas. The women who work then really like to make you feel well cared for. I thank them all for a wonderful time.

I do not like to give bad reviews but this place is unsanitary. I left after about 10 to 15 minutes and went home to take a shower. I've been to Korean Spas and this one is not up to par.

I'm a big girl and kind of self conscious about my body, but they take care of me and make me feel comfortable and beautiful. I definitely respect the experience and appreciate the atmosphere. The ladies are very good at what they do. Very clean facility and amenities. I did the Korean Body Scrub and Massage. Absolutely love it here. Happy returning customer

This to me is a hidden Gem.
I’ve been here couple of times and I like herbal spa. This is a great place if you’re planning to cool off from a hot days errands.
My only gripe (minor) was the Fact that I could hear at some point a constant commotion coming from next door of the men’s pool area. I believe that’s a Spa of some sort but it’s Not the women’s Jimjilbang side.
All in all, I had the whole Men’s Spa section to myself!

I’ve been going to this spa for years and highly recommend making this your regular go to. The service is friendly, it’s always clean and the massages are the best in town. Their Himalayan salt room is a dream and they have a real ice bath that makes your sauna experience a truly healthy one.

My daughters and I are regulars, we having been coming for 5 years. We love this place. It’s not fancy so if you are looking for a hotel type Swedish massage this is not that. Korean massage is a different type of experience where there are communal spas and massage tables. I recommend the scrub massage combo. It’s clean and you feel amazing after!

It's concept of Korean style spa is so wrong. Looks like 90's of Korean sauna has very minimums. Manager looks like south east asian mistreats and discriminates Groupon customers very rude. Do not be fooled by the pictures of their website.

Very nice spa after a thorough Body scrub they gave a great body massage then you get a cucumber mask your hair shampooed and conditoned then a milk bath they have a hot and cold jacouczi, steam room, Himalayan mineral salt cave and an onyx sauna the ladies who work there give 110% and the price is very affordable, after leaving I feel very reguvanated and relaxed. I will definitely go there again.

This place is AMAZING! Everyone was extremely nice, and you can tell they really care about how you feel. The atmosphere was so relaxing, it really let you tap into just being truly relaxed! My hair was washed, and brushed. The cucumber mask was amazing too:) thank you everyone! I’ll see you soon!

I went for a girls night out with four of my friends and we just had the most luxuriating and relaxing time and left with a feeling of deep well being. We started off in the jacuzzi and the cold plunge. The cold plunge is really fun because there's a string to pull that releases a ton of water cascading over you. Then we enjoyed the steam bath and the steam gets so thick and it smells like eucalyptus you can't see anyone else in there because the steam is so thick, and there's a shower in there so that if you feel too hot you can turn on the shower. Then there is a sauna. When a table was ready, the ladies called us for our scrubs. The scrub is thorough. They scrubbed me head to toe until I felt like a newborn baby. Then I went and relaxed in the Himalayan salt crystal room. That's my favorite part of the whole experience. There's something so relaxing and magical about that Salt Room. And the scrub was utterly amazing.the world would be an amazing place if people came and enjoyed this experience once a month. Clean room, friendly service. Very happy

Amazing place! Hot tub, cold tub, dry sauna, steam room, Himalayan salt room, and amazing people who do a fantastic job of scrubbing and massaging from head to toe! Very courteous and professional! Highly recommend!

Visited this place on sat afternoon and it was very quiet which was nice. Parking is horrible, narrow driveway and only 4 stalls. If you have anything larger than a Toyota, you'll have parking issues. Upon check in and a prepaid admission, I was asked to pay an additional fee of $4.00 for the towel. They have 4 features, steamroom, dry sauna, spa and salt room. None of them exceeded a temp of 80 dgrz. The steamroom didnt work at all. No relaxing music, no lounge chairs, no quiet rooms, no attendant, no ambience at all. They do have 2 cold iron chairs like you might find in a park. I use Massage Envy all the time along with Burke William's and would rate those about a 9 -10. This place is about a 2 at best.

Become educated and know where you're going before you write a review.
This is a Korean spa, not an American spa. All of the negative reviews are from people who expected an American style spa.

I am from California, Oregon and lived in Hawaii. I have had massages regularly for the last 15 years. When my friends told me about their experiences of having a Korean scrub and massage I said no way for years. Why? Because I didn't want to be completely naked to soak and get a scrub. They said wear a swimsuit. I brought one, but when I got there I was fine being nude, because there were only 2 other people in the spa.

Herbal spa is a small intimate setting. I LOVE this place and when I come to Hawaii I always get a scrub. The scrub makes my skin feel 10 years younger. It's definitely a Korean spa adventure unlike any American style spa!
! Aeko & Sue are awesome! Mahalo

I really enjoy sauna and spa so much. So l go to spa at least once month.
I try all the spa in Honolulu and Asia.
This place is the worst place in my life.
Everything is dirty and wet underwear and Sockswas hanging in the dry sauna room.
I just talk to nicely to take away the wet Socks and underwear from the dry sauna room to workers.
The worker said " That `s my Socks and underwear, so that's ok.
Omg!
It's terrible place and workers!
You will get more stress If you guys go there!
