I saw all the reviews about this place and wanted to try them. Ive never had a massage before, and I really needed this!! Lilly was so calming and very good at making you feel relaxed. I feel like my whole body is at ease. Thanks Lilly! And you took care of my husband during the couples massage 💆♀️ 💆♂️
Lin & Lili were so kind and talented! Got a 90 minute couples massage today and walked out feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend, one of the best massages we’ve gotten on here!
Title: Relaxing Oasis in the Heart of the City!Rating: 5 starsReview:I recently had a massage here, and it was truly rejuvenating. The therapist was skilled and attentive, focusing on my specific areas of tension. I left feeling refreshed and renewed, ready to take on the world again!I highly recommend Smile Massage and Spa to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat from the daily grind. Treat yourself to some self-care and relaxation - you wont be disappointed!
Lily gave me one of the best deep tissue massages I’ve ever had. She’s strong and really got in there to work out some knots!I also added a body scrub which I would recommend - I’m super soft now.This location is unassuming and not particularly fancy but Lily is really lovely and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a terrific massage without all the bells and whistles.
Visiting Smile Salon & Spa, was the icing on cake!! LIN was AMAZING! I had a full body massage and added on a full body scrub! She was extraordinary! Went above and beyond!!! Thank you so much Lin!
My partner and I had a couple massage. This was our celebration of our anniversary and we could not have picked a better experience. Lily and Dana did an amazing job both with our massage and their kind nature. Their accommodation to our needs wants were more than met. We hope to return someday on our visit back to Hawaii. If you are in Waikiki area, please choose their business for your massage. You will not leave disappointed. Thank you to these wonderful ladies.
Kristi and Lilli were phenomenal. They took really care of my mother n law and I can’t say enough about how good we feel right now. I added cupping and mom added tiger balm. I wish I lived here so I could come see them weekly.
I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Li Li. It was AMAZING - possibly the best massage I’ve had. I appreciated the little details that she paid attention to, like covering my hair so as not to get lots of massage oil in it. She found my trigger points and knots and really focused on the areas that have been bothering me. I added cupping, which I’ve never done before - totally worth it. It wasn’t painful, just a very different sensation - pain relieving for my back! I travel to Waikiki fairly often for work and I plan on returning to Smile Massage each time I’m here!
Don’t be put off by the location - it’s well worth the trip outside of Waikiki proper! I highly recommend Lili for a deep tissue massage. She was very intuitive and loosened up my tense neck and shoulders without me having to specifically ask for it. Very professional and detailed communication from the time of booking. Highly recommend!
Lin was absolutely amazing! She really helped my back! The bed we have here on Hawaii wrecked me and she was able to really help me out. I highly recommend her services! My wife and I did a couples massage and it was fantastic!
My son and I visited in March and wanted much needed massages after surfing everyday and walking to Diamond Head. We are so glad we found this little gem of a place and the staff were so nice. I get a lot of massages and this was the best ever. Its important for the massage therapist to be able to read the customers body response to pressure and to soften and well as be more firm at times and I felt completely taken care of! We will be back over 4th of July coming up and cant wait!
This was my first time getting a massage and this place was the perfect place to do it! Li Li gave me a massage that left me feeling so much better than how my body felt before. All of the staff were so sweet; I really appreciated their work and their kindness. Thank you!!
My wife and I had a fantastic couples massage. Great technique and pressure, one of the best massages we have ever had. Booking was easy, I was able to make our appointment via text using their phone number, and quickly received a response - and they were able to accommodate us with less than two hours notice. Check this place out with confidence, the massage is the real deal, it included stretching, and for us, complimentary hot stones. Five stars!
We booked last minute for a couples massage! Lin and Lily helped us get booked same day. They were very professional. The massage was amazing the atmosphere was soothing!! Highly recommend them! Thank you!
I went to this place last year during my vacation and had an incredibly positive experience, especially thanks to my masseuse, Lily. Returning to the same establishment this year, I was delighted to find that Lily was still there and her service remained as exceptional as before. The consistent excellence in their service, particularly from Lily, is truly commendable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxing and rejuvenating experience!LiLi was very professional and the place is very very clean.I had a back injury awhile back from nursing work,masseuse gave me the best relief ever!I would recommend to anyone with back pain!
Amy was very good. I came in with a super tight back with lots of knots and I came out of the session feeling like a completely new person. I no longer feel as tense and tight.
Lily and Lin got us in right away and they were AMAZING!! My husband and I really enjoyed our massages! I’d highly recommend coming here!
Smile is the best way to start an island vacation! My wife had back pain from traveling. We called first thing in the morning and they were able to work us in quickly. The massage was excellent. We added the cupping and it was well worth it. Thanks y’all so much!
SO GOODLin was amazing. One hour session felt like 20 minutes. Amazing massage amazing conversation!Same day walk in and super accommodating!!Will come back every time I am in Oahu.
If I had known it was going to be so good, we would have gone sooner and twice. We had a couples massage, the soft music was very relaxing and the massages were excellent. The place is very clean and inviting. If we are ever in Oahu again, we will visit. Thank you for a great experience.
Lily was really good with the massage, i really enjoyed it. she took her time and did an awesome job. its clear that she had years of experience! I will be comback!
Beautiful first time experience. The atmosphere was very calming, and the staff are experts at their craft in massaging. It was so great that I fell asleep. Would definitely come again. Thank you Lily!
I scheduled a couples massage and personally had Anna! She was absolutely amazing and paid attention to detail! Definitely would recommend during your stay in Honolulu!
I recently moved to the Kapahulu area and found Smile as my local massage place. Ive been twice and loved my experiences both times. The first time, I had a 4-hands massage, which is the first time Ive ever had that sort of massage. It was a novel experience and I really loved it. My second time I got a 1-hour Swedish massage and left feeling so relaxed and calm. I hightly recommend Smile Massage & Spa.
My girlfriend and I traveled to Hawaii from Texas, we spent majority of the day on a flight, so you can imagine the stress our bodies were in…. We booked a massage and I had CiCi who helped me. I cannot say enough good things, she was able to relieve so much stress I had in my neck and shoulders. Absolutely recommend!
My boyfriend and I came here for a couples massage for my birthday and it did not disappoint! The deep tissue massage was very firm and relaxing. We both feel brand new. Highly recommended!
Wow!!!! Cici was absolutely amazing. She got all my knots out. I could tell she must have been either a physican or physical therapist in China, because she was so awesome. I will come back again and again and again. I will refer her to everyone i know coming to Hawaii!!!!
Amy was absolutely amazing! She hit my tense spots without feeling too much pressure. She checked in on the pressure and even asked about a stretch. I highly recommend her and this place!
Beautiful session with Lin! Highly recommend :) I requested 60mins massage / facial treatment for a really good deal. Will definitely be visiting again!
Fantastic massage! I had Dana as my massage therapist, she knew exactly what areas to focus on without me having to say anything! Very experienced and professional, I will be coming back next time I’m in Oahu.
Brought my special lady friend for her bday for a couples massage and it was wonderful! Christie beat me up In the best way lol. She did great work on my back and I walked out feeling way better! Highly recommend
Li li is the absolute best! She is flexible with her schedule, and is an expert in massage. I get the Chinese cupping every time and it is amazing! I won’t see anyone else. Highly recommend!
Great hospitality, friendly staff, and excellent service. Amy was very professional and made sure that I felt comfortable while getting my massage. It was a great first time experience.
The staff was nice but it was weird being in an apartment in a subpar part of town. I didnt have much time so I dropped in for a 30 minute. It was a nice basic massage But Ive had better. Good if youre close by and youre hurting from too much walking. I think its cheaper than others in the area.
I booked the massage for my parents and mother in law. They loved it! Thank you so much Lin and Amy! You made their trip awesome.
Christy and Amy read our body well and knew exactly what we needed! One of thee best couples massages I’ve had. We will definitely come back when we visit!
Smile massage was easy to find. Their staff was friendly thru text and in person. Amy was the masseuse, I highly recommend booking with her. I will be back.
I visited Smile Massage for the first time. I have had many massages because I exercise a lot. The sports massage I had was world class - one of the best I ever had. I was stiff and achy before the massage and now I can walk almost pain free. I highly recommend Smile Massage. They are very professional.
Amy is an excellent and skilled masseuse, she and her partner Lin made us feel so comfortable and welcomed, we will definitely return again. This place is highly recommended!!
I got the 4 hands massage with Lily and May and it was well worth it. Lilys deep tissue massage was exceptional and May had the perfect pressure in my quads. The price was the best in the Waikiki area. Highly Recommend.
Smile Massage saved the day! I was at the Ala Wai golf range when I pulled my shoulder and upper back. I was in so much pain. I desperately searched for a nearby massage and found Smile Massage. Lily was able to squeeze me in, in-between appointments, and provided me with the best massage EVER! She used complimentary hot stones and Tiger balm; I think because I was a first timer. In an hour, I left feeling so much better. Lily skillfully, patiently, and with strong hands worked out the pain and knots in my back where it hurt. Unbelievably, I was able to go golfing the next day! Thank you Lily! Ill be back!
Lily is an exceptional massage therapist! Her skillful hands and soothing touch create an incredible and relaxing experience. I always leave her sessions feeling rejuvenated and stress-free. Her dedication to her craft and genuine care for her clients make her a true gem. Thank you, Lily, for your wonderful massages that bring both physical and mental relief. Youre truly the best!
I got a massage done by Lynn and it was amazing!! She was so nice and gave great advice. My body already feels so much better. Reasonably priced and she have such a great massage. I definitely will be returning for another one soon:)
My partner and I went in for the 60 min couples massage + facial. I recommend both, and I cant wait to try their other offerings when I get the chance to come back to Hawaii.The establishment, once inside, is very clean and welcoming. The massage therapists, Christie and Yuli, are professional, well humored, and very strong! We cannot recommend this place enough.Just give them a call, and they will give you instructions on how to get in, pricing, etc.Thanks!!-Tommy & Franchine
I am very tense and Lin was able to break up some of my knots- it was really great and I need to go back more often.
Lin was amazing, she worked all my knots and I felt like a new person walking out. I will be back everytime I’m in Waikiki! And recommending to all my friends
My massage person Cici was wonderful. Very clean and welcoming facility.
I booked my massage through Classpass and was not sure what to expect. My massage was one hour with Julie was my massage therapist. Julie was personable, friendly and talked me through which areas of my body were tight and needed more attention. She shared that deep tissue was an additional cost. Had I not opted for the additional Chinese cupping I would have added that on. It was my first experience with cupping and found it relaxing.I would recommend and would go again.See my photo for prices as of July 2022.
#markedsafefromchristieChristie told me she was going to beat me up for my deep tissue, and she did! She was amazing, though I thought I might die 😂... She said... you neva have deep tissue like this, and boy was she right! Five stars!
Very good massage! Christie got all the sore spots and made sure the pressure was always spot on. Will be back next time Im in town
I had a massage with LiLy and it was amazing. I will definitely be back. The massage parlor is in a apartment building that is converted into a few business and a little hard to find but worth it.
Lili and Amy gave my wife and I the best massage experience we have ever had. It was the greatest way to start our vacation and I am about to book another appointment. They can really get in there for deep tissue so let them know if its going too hard for your taste and they can adjust perfectly
I went here last minute while visiting my sister on the island because I was experiencing migraines and having a lot of neck pain after traveling. They recommended a four hand massage and both ladies were incredible. Extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I walked away feeling so much better!!! Highly recommend as a must if you are looking for a massage in the area. I couldn’t speak more highly of the experience and the masseuses!
Don’t let the exterior of the place fool you! It was a rainy day and we were looking for something to do so we booked a couples massage and couldn’t be happier! This was one of the best massages I’ve ever had, if you want deep tissue they know what they’re doing! 10/10 recommend!
I had such an amazing experience at Smile Massage and Spa! I was greeted by Christie with her beautiful smile and charismatic energy! I so appreciated her cheerful, wild, authentic nature! She made me feel right at home and took such good care of me during the session. She had the perfect depth of pressure! I just returned from a trip and was in dire need of bodywork and walked out of the spa floating after my deep tissue massage with Christie!!! She also did a wonderful cupping job on my back! I felt lighter and so relaxed! Truly grateful for Christie’s exquisite gift!
We got a couples massage. 60 min. Beautiful view. Great massage. Christy did mine, a little harder than I would have liked but I felt AMAZING after. I stuck with the roughness knowing I probably needed it. My husband who weighs double me and is a foot taller got the smaller lady. I wish the stronger one I got had switched and did my husbands massage. This place is fairly easy to find, follow the GPS. I found this business on living social, when I text the number to book an appt she said she would match the price of the living social offer. (I happily obliged since they only get a portion when the offers are purchased through a 3rd party) I recommend this place for a massage.
We had a couples massage with Christie & Cici as the masseurs. Fantastic massage & experience.Would highly recommend.
Me and my boyfriend, try out of this place! Was a surprise. They on Second floor! I had a lin . she’s so welcome and a great massage. Definitely, High recommended her.
I had a wondering prental massage with Lin! It was amazing I feel so relaxed and comfortable. Will definitely be back!
Excellent massage, very relaxing and therapeutic. Left with shoulder feeling much better and reduced pain levels.
Christie and Lily gave us a wonderful 60 minute couples massage. The hot stones were amazing. Christie was high energy and funny, and Lily was quiet. They were both very professional. They both gave an excellent deep tissue massage; they’re so strong! 💪🏼💪🏼💕💕💕💕❣️❣️❣️big thumbs up for this place.
Today I received a massage from lily and she did an excellent job. She gave a relaxing Swedish massage relieved all my pain.
Li Ly was a very great masseuse, She was very strong and very relaxing. I will definitely will be back
Best Massage ever! Dong was very attentive and provided an exceptional service.Definitely recommended.
I called yesterday to book a last minute deep tissue and was able to get a slot booked for this morning. I have lived in the area for 9 years and have gotten multiple massages at other places, but this one was by far the best. I work on a catamaran and have a very physical job and Lily was amazing in relieving back pain and tension. Great price and awesome experience. I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.
Came here to get a couples massage from Christie & Lily. They were amazing!! Five stars!! Cant recommend them enough. We were very comfortable, they made us laugh and the massages were perfect! Will be back!
I had an absolutely incredible experience this morning with Lily. I booked a last minute massage and cupping and the business texted me right away to confirm and give me parking directions. Lily was so talented, it was the best massage Ive had. I will definitely be going back!
I really enjoyed my massage here! Dont let the set up fool you, I was a little worried when I drove up. But they remodeled an apartment into a spa, and its actually VERY nice inside! Prices are extremely reasonable, and they have a variety of services. Lilly was amazing, she was able to find my sore spots easily and spent more time there. Christie is the owner and she is a total sweet heart! I will 100% return here next time I am in town. Well worth it!
Great massage with Lily. She was very receptive and had strong hands. I will be coming back soon.
I went for a couples massage with my husband and we loved it. We took the deeper tissue option & it really released some stiffness. Plus the hot stones & scalp massages were lovely!
Great experience! They are very friendly and professional. They text you easy instructions on how to get to their building. They welcome with you a smile. Had a couples massage and we both were very pleased with our massages. I like it medium and my husband prefers deep tissue. We both got exactly what we asked for. I highly recommend this place for the perfect massage that you are looking for.
Did Koko head today and legs was trashed and found this place close to where were staying and the masseuse was awesome. Pressure was perfect and they able to accommodate us without reservations. Legs are ready for a long run. Will be back before flying back.
Super friendly staff, easy to find, took us on short notice! Will definitely be back! FYI I am a local resident, born and raised. Aloha!
Best massage EVER! Lily is amazing! I literally flew all day, quickly checked into the hotel and then went to this appointment! I was exhausted, and after the massage with Lily...I was invigorated!!!! Thank you so much! I will absolutely be back!!!!!!
Wouldn’t go again. In a small apartment in a sketchy building. Felt dirty. Sheets are old and don’t feel or look clean. Massage was not good either. Too superficial. Didn’t focus on knots or do actually make a difference. Nice ladies but that’s it. Definitely do not recommend.
I had gotten the happily ever after package deal and I can honestly say 100% recommended especially if you need to relax and focus on your self! I had Christie do my massage and facial and I can honestly feel like a whole new person. After everything we had got tea with a delicious cookie afterwards.I thank this wonderful staff for amazing experience!
Booked a couples massage for my birthday, and even though we were running a bit late, everyone was SO nice about it. Probably one of the BEST massages my partner and I have ever received, and absolutely amazing for the value. Exactly what we needed after back to back hikes a couple days before. We will remember to bring cash next time!!!
Looking for a massage in Honolulu? This is your spot!!My husband and I did a 90 minute couples massage and it was amazing! Completely relaxed and refreshed after visiting christie and her lovely partner! This is a perfect spot to add to your itinerary, we enjoyed it so much we booked another massage with them before we fly back to main land!
Ms. Lily is an *amazing* masseuse! She expertly reduced very serious stress in my back, shoulders, and neck. I have renewed mobility and flexibility I haven’t had for months. Excellent pricing too with great value. I’ll be back!
Very good massage here. CC is great I highly recommend her!
Linn was fantastic. Gave a very healing and restorative massage. She also gave me valuable advice on healthy living.
Wow! My experience at this clean, Smile massage spa was wonderful. I was treated by a friend so lbrought along another friend. She was also very pleased with her massage. Christie worked on me and her pressure/style was great for my athletic body. I plan to be a loyal client moving forward.
Found Smile massage last year while staying in Waikiki and so glad we did!! I saw Lily today and she was amazing. She is very good and helped my neck and shoulder tightness. Can’t wait to go back!!
My friend got a better massage therapist lily. She asked my friends what’s her focus and did great while the other girl Kelley was terrible. She didn’t even ask me my focus or level of hardness. She just went in there full force. Then she commented I’m sensitive and all. She only massaged one side of my body and kept using her phone. Never coming back to this place.I’m only giving 2 stars because my friends masseuse was good.
Such an amazing experience!!! Christie and Yuli were the best, my mother and I came to get a massage and wow best massage I’ve had ever. They made me and my mother feel very comfortable. We did the 50 minutes full body massage and the lip mask. So relaxing and got my back cracked also. They are super nice and funny. Definitely will come back again next time I’m in Hawaiithanks again ladies!
Lily is the best! Massage was very good, and they were very welcoming!
I had Christie and my brother had Lily. Both were incredible! Thank you! We will definitely come back. We both did 1hr massages with tiger balm and it was totally worth it.
10/10 would recommend ! Great massage and great experience! Thank you Li Li
Went here for a deep tissue massage with my partner and it was great! Both masseuses were able to hit the right spots and I came out feeling great and thoroughly massaged! They both did a good job of checking how we were doing and how much pressure to apply.Will definitely come again anytime we’re in Honolulu!!
Husband and I had the best couples massage! The prices were very fair, and they also provided us with very easy instructions on how to get there. We had a very relaxing time after hiking and surf lessons. Lily and Julie were amazing! Highly recommend coming here when staying in Honolulu.
The room environment is clean and the massage technique is very skilled. Christie is very enthusiastic and the communication is very pleasant. I warmly recommend that everyone who likes massage must go to this shop to experience it. I will definitely come again if I have the opportunity.
My husband and I had an amazing couples massage at Smile. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and it was a nice, comfy space. I have very tight shoulders and the masseuse worked out the knots using several different techniques- awesome to experience the variety of massage types in one massage. It was my husband’s first massage and he enjoyed it. We are so glad we went to Smile!!!
By far, the best massage I have ever had in my life. This place is a hidden gem. The facility is very professional, neat, clean, and organized. Lily the therapist did an amazing session, I left feeling like new. If you are ever in the are please go ,You will not be disappointed.
Lin was amazing. Worked out all the knots. Very precise.
Amazing massage! The spa was a former apartment converted into a very clean, well decorated, relaxing space. I had the pleasure of getting a deep tissue massage by Christie, a masseuse who clearly has been in the practice for a while. Christie knew a lot about the body, muscles, pressure points, and gave one of the best deep tissue massages I have ever had. The pricing was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the massage. I would absolutely recommend this spa and more specifically, Christie.
For an early Valentines Day present for my husband and I, we did the 60 min couples massage. Lily and Ally were both great. Everyone was super nice. Communication and directions on how to get there was clear. I wish I had set it up for 90 min 🙂 We would definitely go back
I’ve been coming to this spot for about a year now, to get my back/neck fixed — along with all the muscle soreness from working out. these ladies do an AMAZING job. firm hands, attentive to your needs, hit the right spots with a mix of techniques. you can tell they know what they’re doing. I just got a 60 min deep tissue massage right now, from the hands of Bella, and hear me out, my pain was BAD. she fixed me head to toe. I feel brand new, hands down.their prices are fair too, especially for the quality of what you get.I definitely recommend this place!mahalo nui ladies!!! 🙏🏽
Great massage. The problem started after. Booked a couples massage for $130. They discouraged credit card payment, but we didnt have enough cash. So we were paying half cash half credit card. They immediately upped the price to 70 each. We decided to tip 10 bucks each on top of it. They said that wasnt enough and asked for more. It was very uncomfortable. Here for 3 weeks and were really looking forward to doing this weekly. Will now look elsewhere. Too bad, left a really bad aftertaste, following a fantastic massage.
I have been here on three different occasions. And Li has taken extreme care in explaining what was being done and what was causing my back issues. All three times that I have come for a session I have left feeling so much better than when I arrived. Li is an amazing Masseuse.Very kind and considerate. I found me a home for my pain relief and gentle care. After so long of dealing with the pain. Thank you so Much LI for your help and caring hands. Al
Great experience! Now feeling relaxed. Will definitely come back!
I have never had a professional massage before and this was a great first experience! Christy is very professional, funny and charming. The space is very clean and comfortable. I loved the hot stones and my neck, shoulders, and upper back felt so much more relaxed afterward.
One of the best massage Ive had! The massage was very tailored to my needs and hit all the tight spots with just the right pressure.
One of the most thorough and relaxing massages Ive had. I picked Smile because it was just a few minutes walk from my Airbnb condo. Lily was very attentive and could tell my shoulders and neck were tight and she really worked out the knots with a combo of hands, elbows, forearms, and knees. I also had cupping done for the first time and it was in interesting. Ill wait a few days to see how it feels. Overall, Smile is a very clean and welcoming parlor and would gladly return!
BEST MASSAGE I’VE HAD. My husband & I went in for a deep tissue couple massage + cupping. They massaged our entire body with oil & actually went DEEP for deep tissue. We absolutely loved the services & will be back again. Prices are great compared to other places in Honolulu. Christie made us feel welcomed & relaxed! If you’re looking for a massage this is the place to go!
Lilly was my masseuse and she was fantastic - very skillful, friendly and knowledgeable. The spa isnt obvious from the street but Christie who made my appointment was incredibly friendly and helpful in providing clear and easy directions. Not big or fancy but clean, nice and priced very reasonably for the quality they provide.
Had 2 massages in one week first one was great. The masseuse was very professional, and everything was awesome and I was going to give five stars rating and until I had my second massage. I called to schedule the second massage session with the same resource and I double checked with them. I want to see masseuse. I gave them the name they said yes she’s available on the request of time. when I arrived. I was surprised to see another masseuse and she said oh no the people who made the booking they don’t know who’s available so I did not wanna do the massage because I did not want to try another masseuse and I was really looking for the first one. The masseuse called the other masseuse that I requested and she said I’m sorry I’m not available and this one is also great with a lot of experience so they convinced me to go ahead and do the massage with her. from there everything was bad. The massage was very rough. She even hurt my neck with her nails. Also hurt my shoulder when tried to pop my neck before relaxing the muscle. The AC was on and very close to the massage table and I was freezing. Everything was bad and she wasn’t professional I will never go back again.
The whole staff is amazing. They are very kind and very helpful. The staff was very communicative with any questions we had. Mark was my message therapist and did a wonderful job. All four of us enjoyed each message therapist that worked on us.
I went in with incredibly sore neck and shoulders and left feeling significantly better. The ladies are so friendly and give excellent massages. The massage area is clean and calming. I highly recommend them for any massage needs!
Me and my boyfriend went to this place to try. I had deep tissue my boyfriend have a Swedish we both like our massage therapist. hi recommend this place
I’ve had many deep tissue massages and this one from Christie has to be among the better ones I’ve had. Christie made sure the pressure was just right for me, and was attentive to my request for either more or less pressure. The place was clean, nicely set up and easy to access from the Waikiki strip, but not at Waikiki tourist prices which was even better. I would definitely recommend this place and Christie and plan to return for at least one more massage before heading back to Canada.
For the most part our experience at Smile Massage & Spa was perfect. There were 5 of us; one was pregnant, one was a first-timer, one had a bad sunburn and then my wife and I. All of us except my wife had a wonderful experience...just right pressure, the hot stone was excellent, the use of CBD and coconut oil was wonderful and they treated my pregnant daughter-in-law perfectly....she LOVED her massage. My wife came on a different day and were not sure what happened. We think there was some miscommunication or something. She wanted a relaxing Swedish massage with medium to low pressure but what she received was a roughing up. The therapist punched her three times in three different locations and it did not feel like an accepted practice we know of (weve had several massages before) and these punches left bruises. The therapist jumped up on the table and straddled my wife and then started working on her. Weve never had that happen before either. The therapist was rough and my wife has several bruises now as a result. Not sure what happened. She was also not very sociaable...not sure if she was having a bad day or not...but punching and straddling the way she did does not seem good therapy. This is the only negative experience we had. My therapist (Christine) was perfect, funny, sociable and knowledgeable. Thanks Christine. My son also enjoyed your work (he had a bad sunburn). I would go again if I ever return to Hawaii. Advice: communicate exactly what you want before you start and be clear on what you want and dont be afraid to ask your therapist to change their approach if its not satisfactory.
Amy was a FANTASTIC massage therapist. It’s been a long time since I was pain-free, but I felt like I was floating in water once she was done. Go support a wonderful small business!!
My partner and I were in desperate need of a massage. I called Smile at 845am, I realized how early it was and was shocked that they even answered! They were happy to get us in just 2 hours later. The couples massage with Christie and Sammie was incredible. Christie rocked my world and actually worked out so many of my knots. She took her time and was knowledgeable about working with scoliosis so that’s a plus too. I will be coming back. Crazy Christie you are a rockstar! 🤩
I’ve had many deep tissue massages and this was by far the BEST! Christie was professional, funny and awesome! I was a little worried at first because the place is hidden however it was well worth it! The place was clean, nicely set up and easy to access from the Waikiki strip! I would definitely recommend it and Christie! 👍
Christie and Lily gave us really good deep tissue massage. My fiancé and I were looking for a massage place that offers shower because we planned to have hike and massage before our flight. Christie was very kind to let us shower there and gave us a great massage session. Would highly recommend this place!
WOW!! Words cant describe how amazing of an experience we had. My wife and I had a couples massage. Sammi and Lilly were our massage therapist and they were absolutely hands down better than any massage we have ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. you will walk out a new person.
Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯Very friendly people, professional, and fun!The massage was perfect. I felt amazing for my Hawaiian vacation thanks to Christie. She worked on all my knots and I left feeling like a new man!Definitely coming back to Smile every time I come to Hawaii
Amazing massage! She knew where all the stress points were and I left feeling refreshed!
Did the four hands deep tissue with Christie and Lily. The best massage Ive had. Added hot stones and tiger balm. Christie fixed a problem in my neck which Ive had for months. Highly recommend
Christie was incredible. She was able to work efficiently and effectively on my rope like muscles and deep tension in my shoulders and neck. My shoulders feel like they have released and dropped inches away from my ears. The staff is very kind, open and welcoming. I felt instantly at ease.
I went for a couples massage with my wife .we loved it . Excellent . Professional. Clean . Courteous .great value .highly recommend
Christie and lily gave us the best couples massage. The body scrub was amazing and they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Great value compared to other places with just as high quality. Highly recommend.
Just finished an amazing massage with Christie. She knew exactly what she was doing and used many advanced massage techniques to further my experience. Not only do I feel like my muscles are relaxed, my head is more clear as well. I am sure to sleep well tonight. Loved this place, Christie, and my massage. I cannot wait for my next massage!
Excellent service! Christie is amazing. Very professional and use many therapies in one hour! I require deep tissue and WOW she is awesome. Her skill level is second to none. (she was even able to crack my back in several places to align my back! This wonderful experience will be my only therapist from now on!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Julie did such a great job with her massage! I came in with my girlfriend for a couples deep tissue massage with heated towel and hot stones as well. At the end of it, I got a free neck crack and it felt so great! I saw my girlfriend’s face lit up afterwards and she couldn’t have looked any more beautiful. Great workers with a great sense of humor. Would totally recommend and all for a great price too!!! Mahalo!!!
Ling and Lilly were so amazing! Me and my husband went here for a couples massage and we feel like new people! Thank you so much can’t wait to come back.
Lilly was an amazing massage therapist! Clean atmosphere, calming and very kind. Felt like I was at home. My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and it was perfect for our first massage ever!
Smile massage is a hidden gem. I got a massage from Julie with the added cupping, I felt so relaxed coming out after that 90 minutes. They accept walk ins, and every time I call they’re available! I’m going back again and am happy to have found my new massage spot.
We had a couples massage and these ladies were Amazing!!! Christie and Yuli worked on all those knots in our backs and necks. We both had deep tissue massages and they really dug deep. We would definitely recommend them. I echo prior reviews about the location but communication was great and we had no trouble finding the place.
They literally saved my vacation! My TMJ jaw joint disease has ramped up my neck tension to the point the pain was affecting my ability to function, despite pulling all my usual tricks. They were able to get me an appointment and in 30 mins I went from like 8/10 pain to 3/10. Excellent strong deep tissue massage, amazingly soothing hot stones, super kind and friendly staff. I felt so much better after I could cry from relief! 10/10. And like others said, dont let the potentially unusual apt as a spa thing throw you off or youll be sorry to miss out haha (they also send incredibly specific and super helpful instructions for how to find them.)
They were very nice and welcoming. MadeMe feel safe and relaxed.😎
On the spur of the moment I decided to book a massage session at Smile Massage. I selected this place because it was close to my home. When I called, the person I spoke with was very professional and pleasant.It was around noon when I called and I had asked for a same day appointment and she offered me 1pm or 6pm. Then she discussed something with someone in the background, then came back and asked if I can come now. So after a quick shower I headed over.The business is in what appears to be formerly an apartment. It looks like the building owner converted the whole second floor from living apartments to businesses. The business appeared to be very neat and clean, with a very relaxed atmosphere. There were no other customers in the reception area, and two employees.The masseuse that tended to me was Chris (I think that is her name). She was very friendly and funny. I was not in the bit apprehensive as I have had massages before, but I think her candor would put anyone at ease. After showing me their menu she asked if I would like any add-ons. I got a 1 hour massage and a face cleansing add-on. The prices are pretty reasonable. It was a total of $100 (70+30) plus tax.I had strained my shoulder and neck area earlier in the week during an exercise session and had been aching for a few days, I couldnt turn my head toward one side without some pain. My shoulders and upper back were feeling the consequences of that and were also tensed up. So I had hoped a nice massage would relieve my discomfort, and it did.The massage room itself was one of the bedrooms of the apartment, it was clean, comfortable and a/c cooled, but not chilly. When she started the session, I could tell that it was going to be just what I needed. She used her hands, arms, elbows and knuckles and got all the kinks out of my back and shoulders. There was even one point where she used hot stones in the massage on my back. I admit at some points the massage did hurt, but it was all worth it. The massage covered my neck, shoulders, back, legs, feet, arms and hands. She also cracked my upper back, and that was great!The face cleansing was also amazing. The products she used on my face were very light and refreshing. I think they were unscented, because I dont remember any strong perfumes in them. You can also purchase the products that she uses for your own use. I felt clean, refreshed and moisturized.Throughout the session Chris made occasional conversation that was not the usual massage conversation. It was very entertaining, and out of the normal relaxing silence that you have at most massage businesses. Of course they had music playing in the background that was very calming and mellow.When I left there, all the tension in my back, neck and shoulders was gone. My neck was still achy, but I could turn my head in both directions without any pain or restriction. I felt great, refreshed and relaxed.Smile Massage and Spa, highly recommended! I think I may go back at least once a month for maintenance.
The best massage I have had in my life. Trust me service is amazing and the owner is friendly. I am happy myself and my whole family got to experience this on vacation.
Li Li is very professional and gives a great massage every time!
My boyfriend and I were pretty sore from sitting on the plane for 6 hours so we decided to get a massage and I cant express how amazing it was! I asked for deep tissue and Christie definitely did that. As for my boyfriend Lucy walked on his back and also did some deep tissue for him and he said he feels like he’s 16 again! If we have the chance we will definitely be returning before we head back home. Highly recommend!! Thank you again, Christie and Lucy :)
My boyfriend and I did the 60 min couples massage and it was the best massage weve ever had!!! It was $135 plus tip which was totally reasonable. And the ladies were so sweet! Highly recommend
Amazing experience with Christie and Yuli. I was offered a combination massage with hot stones and towel and they definitely did not disappoint. Left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and recharged for the rest of my stay. And they have quite a sense of humor to boot! Highly recommend for all those tired and achy feet out there.
My husband and I got a couples massage and requested deep tissue. It was one of the best deep tissue massages Ive ever received, because Yuli and Lulu truly made the physical effort to knead out the tight spots on our shoulders and backs. This was truly an effective massage -- no pain no gain!
My sister and I booked a couples massage for the first day of our Hawaiian vacation. It was AWESOME! One of the best massages Ive ever received, and Im a chiropractor so Im pretty picky about my massages. I asked for a deep tissue massage, and my massage therapist Yuli delivered (dont tell her to go hard unless you really mean it, because shes not messing around, lol). We had great banter with Yuli and Christie throughout the treatment and were able to have a laugh while also relaxing. I felt like melted butter by the end of it. I liked the stretches she did to me as well. I really felt like she opened up my shoulders and hips. I will definitely be booking a massage here again the next time Im in town.
If your looking for the best massage place on the island then got to Smile massage & Spa. Lynn and the rest of the team are professional and efficient at what they do.
Message was amazing, best I’ve had on any of my vacations. I had Jen and she did an amazing job, really got deep during my deep tissue. Well worth the money, I will probably return again before I leave!
My husband and I were in Oahu to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary! My husband absolutely loves massages, and I wanted to surprise him with a massage.This place is a hidden gem! Its definitely a hole in the wall in terms of location, but I called the evening before to book - and they texted me directions with photos, and even when I got lost, they came downstairs to get me. The room was clean and we were given rectangle bins/baskets to put our clothes in.Christie and Yuli were friendly and also VERY GOOD. When we came in, they asked what kind of massage we each wanted for our 60-minute couples massage - I was surprised that they seemed like they could do it all.I got a Combo massage of Swedish and Thai, and my husband got Deep Tissue - and it surprised him how strong Yuli was able to massage him (usually he needs the strongest pressure possible, but this time he asked for medium) 😅They were able to release all of our tensions in our bodies, they were engaging and made some fun conversation, and made sure that we were comfortable throughout the massage.The hot stones were very hot, but they reassured us it was good and wouldnt burn us - and it did feel good! Christie even focused more on massaging my head when I mentioned I liked head massages.Christie also gave me a free lip mask treatment made of beeswax and other natural ingredients, which was like a lip gloss / lipstick but didnt stain or come off easily. They sell it separately if you want it - and even though I didnt want to buy it, I didnt feel shamed 😇Price-wise, its good value given how good the massages were! If you like the gliding type of massages, this was one of the best.Highly recommend coming here when youre visiting Oahu!
Christie was amazing! She has beautiful Asian body work massage skills and added cupping to my treatment. The acupuncturist I saw 1 week after was very impressed with her cupping ability too! Highly recommended!
Christie and Yuki were great! Very friendly, professional and an amazing deep tissue massage. Helped relieve my headache and neck tension
A wonderful caring and extremely experienced business. Very professional, warm and inviting . Office was spotless and I experienced amazing muscle pain relief by my therapist Sami ,who I will be seeing often for my wellness plan. She discussed my pain and any concerns and worked diligently to relieve my pain. I walked in with my ice pack on my neck and walked out with 100% improvement. Simply amazing ! I won’t be keeping this a secret. So glad I went today. They saved my weekend from horrible pain. I thoroughly enjoyed all techniques and each one helped so much delivered with the utmost privacy and respect. So grateful. Thank you!Camie
My husband and I had a great deep tissue couple massage here. Christie and Yuli are excellent at releasing muscle knots and are very strong. Will definitely come back here the next time we visit Honolulu again.
My wife and I visited smile massage for a couples during our vacation in Honolulu. We both work out frequently and have very tight muscles. This was a great spot for a strong massage to relieve stress and tension. I will definitely come back next time we are here.
I cannot believe tonights couples massage experience. we are new to the island and recently had a massage at Sakura about a month ago, we loved our couples massage and unfortunately they were booked tonight so we went ahead and decided to try a new place. Our massage experience was fantastic until it was time to pay. My husbands masseuse took the $135, then started speaking loud in Chinese to my masseuse. I asked if something was wrong and thats when everything went down hill! They said they worked overtime and wanted a 20 percent tip. They started say in the state of Hawaii all massages come along with a 20 percent tip. I said that is not true I have had a massage at another business and have never heard of that rule, we walked out and my husband masseuse block us at the elevator insisting a tip! This is so unprofessional and disturbing after receiving a treatment that is suppose to be therapeutic.
We had booked the couple massage and visited late night after 9. I have no doubt that they, the masseuses, are experienced. But, unlike the very beginning, they seemed to become tired and one of them dozed off a couple of times. Unfortunately, it made us disappointed and it was not the professionalism we had expected to see.
I’ve been several times, both with my boyfriend and my friend and it was amazing! I’ve tried the cupping as well as the deep tissue massage with CBD oil. Day to day, I spend a great deal of time sitting at a desk and they helped resolve a great deal of tension in my shoulders and lower back! 10/10 would recommend!
Christie was absolutely amazing. I asked for a deep tissue massage and it was the best one ever. Highly recommend and will be going back for sure.
This place is run by two Chinese women who for the most part are professional in their art but are shady in the approach of enticing the client to purchase there full package massage. I thought I was going to get a full body relaxing stress relieving massage with deep tissue kneading. What I got was just that with what most would call a pressured happy ending. If you are looking for a legitimate first class massage then this is not the place you want to go. First and last time for me, never again!
This massage was amazing, we made it about 2 hours being awake after and then immediately crashed until rhe next day, i have never been that relaxed. The therapists are all duper friendly and nice and you cant go wrong getting a massage here
This place is amazing all the massage therapist will get you right. I recommend upgrading to the tiger balm!! Will leave your skin glowing for hours !!
Christie is a freaking miracle worker. I had an insane amount of muscle tightness and pain from over exerting my body. And Christie set my back and put my muscles back together. I highly suggest getting a 4 handed massage even for 30 min to an hour. As it will lift you to the heavens to the most extreme amount of bliss!
Lilly is the most professional and talented massage therapist in all of Oahu! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
You have to get a massage here! It was one of the best Ive ever had (and Ive paid $400 for one before and it doesnt even come close). Christine opened up all the knots I had and cracked my neck and back and it all felt sooooo good.Definitely dont be put off by the location! It might seem a little sketch, but they are super clean, professional, and very friendly. They even text you pictures of the location and how to get buzzed in.
Great massage, the pressure was perfect. I also added the facial wash. I loved the products she used along with the gentle wash. Great add on. We will be back soon! Kristy and Julie are the best!
Absolutely Fabulous! Lily has magical hands. My whole body arrived in bad shape. Sore, tight and aching. I left 2 hours later with more mobility and flexibility. My range of motion increased quite a bit. Very quiet and soothing atmosphere. Mahalo Lily, I’ll be back.
I walked to the building worried about the quality, but my siblings and I exited the elevator, the owner greeted us with open arms and a big smile you came!. The masseuse that took care of me and my brother was Yomi and Christie. They were strong, yet gentle as well as funny and a bit charming. The music is very peaceful and the window view is a gorgeous sunset overlooking the ocean. It was my first massage and I enjoyed it, my brother said that he gets deep tissue massages once a month and for what we paid for ($56+tip), this is as good as a $200 massage, if not better. If you are ever in Waikiki, definitely give this place a try.
Lucy & Christie provided a really excellent deep tissue massage for me and my partner. Most massage therapists, especially in touristic areas, dont really offer a proper deep tissue massage like this one. (If you dont feel like youve been beaten up a bit afterwards, the pressure probably wasnt enough to actually help.)The massage studio is in a mixed use building that is shared with a lot of other businesses; no big flashy sign out front. But once you get in, youll see its very professional and clean, and the therapists are highly skilled.If only we werent tourists... wed be back every week!
I went to Hawaii for vacation and wanted a relaxing massage. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I will definitely recommend this place to all the people looking for a relaxing, stress free time! My husband and I felt very good once we left and Kristy and Lusi are just amazing! And they have good couple deals! 😄
Amazing massage place! Christy did mine and I can say that was the best massage I ever had, she relieved the tension in my neck and shoulders like magic and my lower back pain, she knew exactly what she was doin and asked me first if I have any specific issues! They are welcoming, loving and so funny! It’s a must go to when in Waikiki! And ladies try her lip mask and balm, trust me!
I have done a couples massage here twice from Lisa and lulu, they are amazing!!! Ive paid for several high end spas in the past and Id have to say this is one of the best massages Ive had. (I only wish there was a sauna and jacuzzi to relax in) If you book directly with smiles they will give you a better deal. Both times I booked last minute and had no issues getting in. I will definitely be going back.
I had a great massage from Christy! My partner had a massage from her and it was so good she paid for one for me. Christy literally massaged the toxins out of my muscles. It’s been years since I had a massage and this was a fabulous one!
My husband and I did a couples massage and we loved this place. They went deep because we asked for it and they worked out a bunch on knots on my back and shoulders. I highly recommend this place. Lucy was my massage therapist and I cant remember the name of other one.
Really good! I have tried 3 massage places and this one is the best. They are very professional and experienced. I feel sooooo released and comfortable after the massage. Definitely will go again.
Lily was great. Punctual and clean. Great massage
Amazing experiences Christie was great, the massage was one of the best I’ve had. very professional, she was able to find the areas that needed more work. Highly recommend
I had an amazing massage from Yuli!!! I was extremely stressed and sore from working and was surprised that they were able to give me an appointment same day as calling. The place is extremely clean and the music, so calming. Yuli was such a joy and made me feel so comfortable. She worked my muscles incredibly well with CBD oil and felt all the tension & soreness alleviated. There is only 1 parking stall so try to find close by and walk. It’s SO WORTH IT!!!! Thank you Yuli!
Best massage place ever. Lily was amazing! I had a new tattoo and she was very careful with it.
The best massages ever! All the therapists are great. I am going about twice a month now and hope to continue. Its so worth it. Get the cupping !
Fabulous value!! Excellent deep tissue massage, better than plenty of ones I’ve had by LMTs in Washington State. Yuli was super sweet but don’t let that fool you, man is she strong!! Exactly what I needed to release tension and distress. CBD oil was a great add on and the additional essential oils smelled great. Facial was lovely too - Japanese products I’m familiar with and bonus lip treatment. Will definitely come back if I’m in the area again!! 5*****
Place was nice and they did a great job with the massages.
Mika was really good and wasn’t heavy handed. I would come here again
Called this morning and I was a little surprised to get an appointment so quickly. I read some reviews. I arrived at the apartment building and had to get buzzed in. Felt good about the controlled entry. Sami asked me a few questions about areas I felt needed more attention. Sami spent 2 hours working on sore spots on my neck, shoulder and rest of me. Added a little facial also. She has a magic touch I feel a lot better now than the past few weeks. Thanks again Sami great to meet you.
Had an amazing 4 Hand deep tissue massage. My neck, lower back was tender and sore. They worked out all the kinks. Will definitely get another massage here again.
My best friend and I went for hot stone massages. Christie and Yumi were so friendly and kind. There are services you can add on and we both cant wait to go back! Such a relaxing way to end our vacation💆🏾♀️
Never judge a book by its cover. Our group of 4, all agreed it was one of the best massages we had had. Clean, cool and good value.
Christie did excellent work on me, deep tissue with lots of elbows, forearms and knuckles. I am pleasantly sore like I should be, and will definitely be going back. Thanks!
My wife and I got a one hour couples massage today. Yoli was my masseuse and she was great. Christy was my wifes masseuse. We will definitely go back before our vacation is over!
Itll be hard to find a massage spot thatll top this one! Ive been getting massages for a minute now, and the level of attention and detail given was incredible. They also offer additional services such as cupping which I also got. Thanks again Christie for the great massage!
Very nice therapist, Lily did an outstanding massage for me. The location is across the street from Rainbow Drive In, very easy to find. Mahalo Smile!!
I had Sarah as a massage therapist, best massage Ive had. CBD oil, hot stones, hot towel, deep tissue, etc. All around great. Last minute at 9pm and she squeezed me in before closing. Will be returning before I go back home. Highly recommend.
This massage experience was INCREDIBLE!! My masseuse was Yuli, I asked for a deep tissue massage, splurged a tiny bit on the CBD oil, and she delivered in spades. Yuli was funny and friendly and professional and EXCELLENT at checking in with the amount of pressure she was using as well as informing me of what was coming next. I was laughing and moaning and the experience was exactly what I was looking for. She worked out knots that I didnt know I had, and knots that I knew about that had been developing and tightening for (almost certainly) years. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If youre on vacation, go early so that you can go again. If you live on Oahu, its worth the trip from anywhere on the island.
What an amazing experience! Not only was the deep tissue massage one of the best I’ve ever had, but Christy (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was also super informative, not to mention so sweet and hilarious. I wish I lived here so I could go all the time!
My wife and I are on vacation and we were looking y for a couples massage. This was honestly the best massage either of us have ever had. It was walking distance from our hotel in Waikiki and the relaxation can not be beat. I recommend this place very much.
Lily is the best masseuse I’ve ever experienced! Really though, I’ve had a lot of massage therapy and she knows her stuff! Tip these ladies generously!
My husband and I got a couples Massage from Julie and Lucy. Im four months pregnant and they were able to accommodate a prenatal massage. My shoulders were really tight and she was able to loosen them up. Soooo relaxing!!!!
I just got a massage there , and I will be a repeat customer…. Ask for Lin, she’s amazing at what she do , she’s tiny but strong and got all my knots out ! It’s a cute spot and the staff are sooo amazing welcoming !
The best massage place on the island. They are very friendly and we had a great family message. My wife my 7 year old daughter and myself. I would highly recommend if are looking for the best message on Oahu.
I came here for the first time today for a deep tissue massage and boy did they deliver. I rarely find a masseuse that can keep up consistently deep enough pressure to work out my knots, but Smile Massage delivered just that. They offer a complimentary lip treatment which does make your lips feel smooth but I was not told before hand it tints your lips pink from the cherry. Not that big a deal as it does fade pretty quickly but something for people to know before agreeing to the lip treatment. She said there is a non-tinted version they use on men so you could always ask for that one if you dont want the tint. Its not the fanciest atmosphere, but I care far more about the actual massage. Another note is that I was told they prefer texting to schedule appointments rather than calling. I will be back.
Amazing massage! My husband & I both had Deep tissue and came out feeling brand new!
Best massage I have ever had. Completely relieved lower back and neck pain. The entrance seemed suspicious as it’s in an apartment complex but it’s actually a business complex. This business would be completely booked up every hour they had available if in a better location.
B E ST MESSAGE EVER!!!. Went with my 2 adult kids and daughter-in-law. It was hard to find as it is in a building that looks like apartments and at first I was uneasy and skeptical. As it turns out it is super clean, professional and everyone was friendly. Kirstie was absolutely amazing. All 4 of us agreed it was the best message weve ever had. A DEFINITE must do. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you everyone at smile message!! You made our trip even more amazing😁
Absolutely amazing couples massage! We would highly recommend. There’s no sign on the building and they had to come get us which made us skeptical but once we got into the business they were extremely professional and so nice! Best massages we’ve ever had!
