There’s something for everyone at Laka Skin Care and Spa, a hidden gem on Ward Avenue in Honolulu. The massage therapists and estheticians at Laka offer relaxing and invigorating massages and facials, such as the deep tissue and lomi lomi (meaning to “rub, press and knead,” in Hawaiian) massages and the age reversal facial. Even better, each facial treatment begins with facial reflexology massage and stimulation of facial acupuncture points to release tension and restore energy.
What sets the spa apart though, is its hydrogen scalp spa, the first of its kind in Hawaii. The spa features an elevated hydraulic bed and a freestanding hair basin. This unique treatment begins with an aromatherapy scalp massage, followed by a nano hydrogen scalp bath using products crafted with 19 amino acids, essential oils and nutrients including organic jojoba oil, keratin and fulvic acid. All this attention to your scalp helps remove harmful toxins and hair product build-up, promotes circulation and is great for relieving stress tension. Another bonus? Enjoy organic tea and a scoop of locally made gelato or sorbet in Laka’s tatami room after every treatment. You’ll never want your spa day to end.
