About this business

Through the experience of living and working as a massage therapist on the island of Maui, I discovered lomilomi, the ancient form of Hawaiian healing massage. Dr. Maka'ala Yates , a Kanaka Maoli (of Hawaiian ancestry) is a highly respected Kumu Lomi Elima (master teacher of lomilomi). As my good friend and mentor, he has been fundamental in guiding me to a greater understanding of the principals of Hawaiian healing. He inspires the vision we represent.

Waxing in the dark? – I have generally had good experiences at Kanani Pearl, and I have been a loyal client for nearly two years. However, I have been waxed (eyebrows and upper lip) by one of their estheticians (the manager's daughter, interestingly) twice. Both times, she did not use the magnifying light... or any light at all!... and waxed me in the dark. As a result, large patches of hair on both my eyebrows and upper lip were not removed. In addition to the patches of hair left on my face, patches of wax were left on my ... read more

We are here to serve our clients and welcome the opportunity to correct situations that need to be remedied. I honor open communication and ask that anyone who has a less than satisfactory experience with us to speak with me personally about it. Honest critiques help us grow and change. Mahalo, Mary Ellen

Loyal Client – I am, and have been a client of Kanani Pearl Spa for 3 years and have had nothing but truly EXCELLENT experiences. I have felt genuinely cared for by the staff and each time I leave, I am eager to return. I happened to read the review "Never go to Kanani Pearl Spa" and felt compelled to write something that more accurately represents the quality of this establishment. It seems that what was described was quite a stressful situation for the owner and her staff and my concern goes mainly to the faint Manager. I ... read more

Never go to Kanani Pearl Spa - for attitude or anything else – I went in to buy a gift certificate for a massage for a good friend's birthday gift. I asked for a tour of the spa and halfway through the tour the manager almost fainted (literally) and had to be helped by an employee. So I was left at the register asking the owner about possible packages I could purchase. She was incredibly snooty and vague about the types of massages. Then, after I paid for a package, they couldn't get the gift certificate to print. She told m... read more

Sometimes when dealing with the public there are some people who are not ?right? for your business and you have to ask them to go elsewhere. These situations are regrettable. Mary Ellen, Owner

Perfect Relaxing massage! – It is always hard to pick where to get a massage- but Kanani Spa was perfect! The waiting area was relaxing with the sound of running water, hot tea and snacks. The massage was tuned into my needs, the scrub, which was my first, made my skin feel soft and new. The massage creme was soothing and made the massage glide into my tense muscles that needed to be worked on! Great massages, Great scrub, nice environment!

Favorite day spa in Portland – I have been going to Kanani Pearl for about two years and have yet to be disappointed. The services I have received include body scrubs, body wraps, massages, and facials. I highly recommed the Pono Spa Package, which includes a massage, facial and gratuity.

Had two sessions there - fairly good overall, but did not stand above any of the other spas - worth a try in case you get a good masseuse.

My fave – Beautiful & relaxing interior. I have received multiple Lomi Lomi massages from Kanani and I always enjoy them. Go early so you can relax in the waiting room to unwind before your treatment! All their soaps and lotions smell wonderful.
