Gara’s Beauty Image

What can I say that others hasn’t?! Gara embodies the definition of a true professional; caring and passionate.
I had my first Brazilian wax done and I had no idea what to expect. Gara walked me through the whole process and she ensured that I was comfortable. The whole event was quick and «painless»…well…as painless as it could be. We talked and laughed throughout the whole time and it definitely made me relax.
She addressed my concerns and booking was easy. I know I’ll be coming to GBI for my intimate waxing needs. Thank you Gara for doing what you do best! =)

Gara was amazing and so sweet! I had been letting my eyebrows grow out… mostly due to pure laziness and she just took them and transformed them into something amazing. Definitely the best I have ever seen them. Will definitely be going back.

Gara is 10/​10, perfect! If you want someone to take care of you, she is the lady. She’s super friendly and outgoing. This is my first time seeing her, and she made it feel like welcome. I got a Brazilian, underarms and legs, and she made it as comfortable as possible. This isn’t my first time getting waxed, but she walked me through the process so I knew what to expect. I’m super happy with her work and service, and will definitely see her again

Everyone was right about this place, very clean and job well done esp. for first timers! Thanks Gara you made my first visit easy, painless and fast! See you soon!

I never had a place i go to for my waxing needs, but with GBI, Amazing! So friendly and professional. Gara is so welcoming. Place is very clean, and relaxing. My eyebrows never looks so amazing!
Im keeping GBI as my go to place for my waxing needs. i recommend GARA.

Awesome waxing experience! I’ve been getting Brazilians for years, and I can tell Gara is very experienced, and actually cares about doing a good job and taking care of her customers. So glad my friend recommended her. This will be my new waxing spot! :)

Gara is super awesome! I drive all the way from town just to see her coz there’s no one else out there can do it better than her.

Great first experience. Gara is lovely and very hospitable. Must admit, at some points it was very painful, but she worked according to my comfort, making the experience as bearable as I imagine it could be. I’ll be back

I absolutely love Gara’s Beauty Image. Gara is very professional but also very friendly and welcoming. She’s so gentle and delicate that at times I feel like taking a nap lol. She’s definitely my go to when it comes to waxing services because I know I’m going to get what I need and more. Totally recommend her.

Gara got me in quickly, the space was comfortable and professional and she made me feel at ease. She did an excellent job threading my eyebrows and making sure I was happy with my results. She is very much a perfectionist, which is in my opinion the perfect personality for the amazing work that she does! She made sure that I left with aloe to soothe my skin and looking and feeling great. Gara finally gave me clear instructions on how to make sure I didn’t have a reaction. A truly complete experience! I would highly recommend her to others!

It’s my first time in a waxing salon. The entire atmosphere is calming, relaxing. I was a bit nervous but… Gara made me feel completely comfortable. She’s very professional in every sense of the word by assuring me I was in great hands. I can say! I trust in her, as well as her work. I have absolutely no regrets and look forward to future visits, it’s truly worth being hair free and smooth in private areas.
I highly recommend her! For your first experience or if you’re a regular at waxing and looking to try a new Waxing professional.
QUALITY! WORK!

Gara was amazing! I’ve been trying to find somewhere to go to get waxed and I’m so happy I found her. She is real friendly and helps you get comfortable. I am ridiculously smooth and couldn’t be happier.

After getting my Brazilian done by Gara, I refuse to go anywhere else. I’ve been going to Gara for about six months now, and she is amazing!
As soon as you enter, it feels so peaceful and clean. Gara is on it to make you feel comfortable too, by offering water, coffee, or tea. I’ve showed up significantly early a few times, and she’s popped a movie in for me to watch.
I love coming here because she is so sanitary and her products WORK. Gara is extremely welcoming! It’s like talking to an old friend. She is so easy to talk to and makes this experience enjoyable.
I highly recommend coming to her!

Just went to Gara for a Brazilian and eyebrows. She was excellent! I’ve had quite a few waxes back on the mainland and Gara is the best. She used two different types of waxes that gave the cleanest appearance. She is VERY conscientious of hygiene which is greatly appreciated. The salon was easy to find. It’s very clean and smells wonderful. Gara has excellent customer service and response time. She takes credit cards… you can even tip on the card. I will definitely be back!

I was a bit anxious coming here, as it was my first time getting a Brazilian, but as a walked into the salon, the ambiance was very relaxing, from décor to the music, everything.
Instantly Gara greeted my friend and I, and although my friend wasn’t getting serviced, she went out of her way to ensure that she was comfortable when waiting by offering refreshments and putting a movie on for her.
In the servicing room, she explained every little thing she did right down to why she uses a specific product, especially since it was my first time, Gara made sure I was well-​informed throughout the process.
Surprisingly the waxing itself wasn’t too painful and Gara has a great sense of humor that puts you at ease to alleviate some of the anxiety.
The end product turned out great, and even better than she was expecting according to her, and I definitely will be returning to her for all my waxing needs. Love, love, loved it!

Gara is such a wonderful person. I surely do miss seeing her. She not only goes beyond servicing her clients, she pampers them with the products and extras she does for us.
I’ve yet to come across a servicer who uses organic oils instead of witch hazel and also puts cooling gel!
She does both waxing and threading. Not everyone does.
The hard wax she uses is 2 different ones. One picks up the fine hair the other couldn’t.
She also provides a numbing spray if needed and towel.
She is definitely worth the money. She’s a local girl who treats you like a long time friend of hers. Hospitality and service can’t be beat.
I highly recommend Gara; drive to her from wherever you are!
Maybe one day my schedule would allow me to be seen by her.
Gara, take care and miss you lots! I’m really glad everything is going great for you!

Gara is amazing! This is my second time here and I will definitely be coming back as a regular. Finding someone on the leeward side who waxes is hard to come by. She does an amazing job and makes you feel comfortable. Appointments are needed so text her to schedule. She is located next to the aiea library on the second floor and there is a small parking lot where you can park for free. After you’re done you can grab some manapua’s to go downstairs :)

Location: Next to the Old Aiea Library on the 2^nd floor (don’t go through the map on Unilocal on iPhone, it will take you to Kamehameha Swapmeet!).
I really enjoyed my first time at Gara’s Beauty Image and went there because of her reviews and ratings on Unilocal.She was running a little bit behind schedule but was very sincere and hospitable. During my services, she explained to me what would happen, the type of product she uses, and asked how I would like my waxing to be done. I really appreciated that she took her time and it was literally almost pain-​free. I walked out of there feeling beautiful!
The time was just about right (not too fast or too long), prices are reasonable, and she knows her stuff! I highly recommend.

I’m so glad I decided to come to Gara for my first Brazilian wax. She was very friendly and professional which made the whole nerve-​wracking experience much more tolerable.
It doesn’t look like much from the outside but once Gara opens her door and welcomes you in all preconceptions disappear. She has a waiting room where she’ll pop in a DVD of your choice if you brought a friend or significant other along. In the waiting room is also a water cooler and a small table with various drink mixes (like, hot cocoa).
Her workspace is very clean and calming. She offers baby wipes and numbing spray to prepare for the waxing which is really nice. I told Gara this was my first time and she made sure to explain everything that she was about to do and why she was doing it. I felt very comfortable with her and the little jokes she dropped here and there really helped too. I liked the fact that she uses both hard and soft waxes, as I feel it helped lessen the discomfort of the more sensitive parts.
I highly recommend making an appointment with Gara for your first… or fifth. or tenth time!

I am so lucky to have had such great experiences with wax stylists.
Located on the second floor of the same shopping center as aiea manapua, Gara is closed on Saturday because of the crowded parking from the other storefronts. Parking can be horrendous there, without any relief from nearby parking lots. However, on Sunday I was pleased to find three open spots.
Gara’s shop is very comfortable. You ring a doorbell and she’ll come and meet you. As the only person in the shop, she can’t keep the door unlocked while she is with a client. She provides you numbing spray and a modesty towel while you wait for her to enter the room. She explains everything she is doing and why she chooses products while she continues the service. This extends the service out longer than other wax technicians I have visited, but is very comforting.
At the end she provides you with refreshments while you give a payment.
Also, she has her own bathroom, which is really great if you need to prepare for the appointment, or throw up from the pain (JUST KIDDING!)
