Mako is AMAZING!! Her work is precise!!! She is very professional and I trust her expertise! My eyebrows look really good and very natural!! I am beyond happy with how they look!! Thank you, Mako for your precision and your time making my eyebrows fabulous!!!

Kelsey Murphy

I did permanent makeup for my lips, eyeliner, and eyebrows with Suzukoo. They are amazing and I highly recommend!! Parking is $2 for the full session with a reserved spot, the location is extremely clean but soothing and comfortable like a spa, the artists are very welcoming, accommodating, and brilliant at their craft! Best decision ever - I look so pulled together all the time with zero effort. 10/10 highly recommend.

I highly recommend Suzukoo Academy for anyone who wants to learn Makoto’s techniques. I took hair stroke and powder brow classes. I was completely beginner but able to learn so much from online lesson and able to be ready for in person lesson after 2 months. Online lessons were very important because I learned the basics of permanent makeup and basic techniques. Every time I submitted my homework, she responded with her comments and more suggestions. I could also ask questions anytime. In-person lessons, I got to see Makoto working on her models. It was very helpful experience for me to learn her techniques. I saw how she worked on her clients like brow mapping, choosing colors, machine techniques and so much more. During the sessions, I could ask questions and take pictures and videos. I also got to work on my own models on the next day I saw Makoto’s works. It was not like practice and took longer time, but glad I was able to work on my own model. Whole lessons were not easy. I needed to focus and practice a lot but it was worth all the time I spent practicing. Again, I really recommend if you are ready and want to learn from one of the top PMU artists!

Highly recommend the nano stroke eyebrows if you are looking for a natural yet defined eyebrows look!! I'm extremely happy with the result! If you want to read my full-report, see below :) Tips and Expectations (from my perspective): 1) Wear your make up to show what style of make up and eyebrow you like when you go to your appointment. 2) Makoto drafted the eyebrow based on the consultation and measurements of my face, and drew the outline of eyebrow - this looked really funny and she told me to ignore the outline because the eyebrow itself would be "inside" the outline. Imagining that was impossible for me, so I basically checked the shape and trusted the process. 3) It was NOT painful at all! Makoto put some topical numbing stuff, and I did not feel pain at all. Maybe some irritation or discomfort when she was working on the same area repetitively but totally bearable. 4) Swelling and scabbing were very minimal, so I could go out immediately after without worrying about looking funky. Just had to make sure to wear a hat to protect my eyebrows from sunlight. 5) Scab came off about 5-6 days after and it was very minimal. Kind of like how you get sunburn and your skin peals off. 6) Not wetting my eyebrows for 10 days was challenging, especially during shower. Makoto gave me 3 clear plastic visors that would stick to your forehead, which was really helpful. So I used them for the first 3 days of showering. For the rest of the 7 days, I washed my hair last and tried my best not to wet my eyebrows. 7) When scab came off, some parts lost color or became lighter which was expected as Makoto explained to me in advance. In my case, this was minimal and I even thought about cancelling my touchup appointment. But because of the slight unevenness in color, I decided to do the touchup. Makoto checked the color and condition, and proposed to change the tone of color to make it more brown. She said that depending on the skin tone, color come out differently from the originally intended color. It did not bother me but making it little more brown-ish aligns better with my style and I'm so thankful that she proposed that option. I'm very happy that I actually went to the touchup session!! Thanks for reading till the end, and I hope this was helpful in making your decision!!

Got my eyebrows microbladed today and I love them !!! Mako is an amazing artist...very methodical and attentive. In addition to delivering fantastic results, she has a light touch...that's right, I dozed off while she tattooed my face and woke up with perfect eyebrows! Cannot recommend her enough!

Chantal Migita

I’ve always wanted to get my brows done, but hadn’t seen any artist brows that I liked. Makoto is very professional, an outstanding brow artist. I can see why she is an international top award winner in her craft. She listened very carefully to my request and gave me honest feedback. Very meticulous with her work and custom designed beautiful natural brows for me. I love the outcome and feel that it gives me younger look and beautifully enhanced the frame of my face. Definitely a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend Makoto!

Yoshi Ohata

I have been looking for a "Korean style", "Asian style" eyebrow microblading in Hawaii. I usually do it in Korea but due to the pandemic, I had not been able to. There are so many microblading places in Hawaii but I did not like the thick and too glammy, "local" look. I wanted very natural and clean and so I'm so very glad I found this place. The artist Makoto is Japanese and she is so sweet and listened to what I wanted and I really appreciated that. Their location was very convenient, the studio was immaculate, and my experience was amazing. I am extremely picky about getting anything done in Hawaii but I am so pleased to find someone locally so I dont have to wait every year to go to Korea. I would definitely recommend this place! 😊

Mercy Yang

Makoto (the owner) worked on my eye brows and herbal Peel facial, Ari worked on my lips and, Lani worked on my eyeliner. They are all very patient, courteous, professional and respectful. The facility is super clean and well organized. The quality of their products and work results are outstanding. I would definitely recommend to have your permanent makeup and skin treatments done with Suzukoo Relaxation & Skin Design. They are the best.

Mio Shimoda Ugai

I had Nano hair strokes & shading done and it came out so very very very natural! Makoto drew one hair at a time to create perfectly shaped and natural looking brows! I never expected the results to be this amazing and painless. I walked out the door with very little redness and no swelling. I could have met someone immediately after the procedure without being noticed that I just had my brows done! Makoto was very thorough during the pre-procedure counseling and made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. I even fell asleep for about one hour of the two hours that procedure took all together. Thanks again. I’m looking forward to seeing how my brows settle in the next 6-8 weeks.

Angie Libarios

I absolutely love my shadow liner that Makoto did. She is very professional and personable. Makoto ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure, and our conversation made the time fly by. I definitely recommend Suzukoo spa for anyone looking to get permanent makeup.

Marti Wise

Maruko was amazing. Very professional and talented when performing both procedures for my hairstroke eyebrows and shadow eyeliner. Those two (2) procedures made my look 20 years younger! I love that the eyeliner and my eyebrows are now my permanent makeup. I can look decent without having to fuss with makeup every day. Freedom!!

Sally Palafox

Mako is absolutely amazing! It is so worth the wait. I wanted more of a natural look and she nailed it. I am not a big make up person, so now I wake up, put some powder on my face, mascara and liner and I am out in 5 minutes. Her skillset is off the charts. You need to book with her now !

Mamiko Ando

The salon is extremely clean and the ambience perfect to get the procedure done. The owner is very professional yet warm and caring. I am very happy with my eyebrows and now I never have to worry about how they look since I was never good at drawing them myself! I highly recommend her work to anyone looking into getting their eyebrows done.

Juanita Rosales

I’m LOVING my eyebrows! It’s beautifully shaded with hair like strokes. Thank you Makoto, you are an artist!

LA MITS

Excellent! I love my eyebrows! My original eyebrows were very thin from many years of over plucking & as I got older, I hardly had any eyebrows left. Thanks to Makoto, my new eyebrows are much thicker, fuller, natural looking, & youthful! I no longer have to draw in my eyebrows & worry whether they were even or not. Life just got so much easier for me. Makoto is truly a talented artist. She listens to what you want, she’s caring, easy to talk to, & she makes sure that you are comfortable. The establishment is clean, tranquil, relaxing, & smells wonderful. The procedure itself, was totally painless. I’m thinking of having Makoto do my eyeliner next. I highly recommend Makoto!

Giancarli Toussant

Makoto is terrific! A true artist. She was kind, patient and attentive to my design wishes. So pleased with my results!

Tome Tadah

Mako is truly a great microblading tattoo artist ..She won Championship trophies in World Competition doing eyebrows, etc.... she does very good detailed precise tattooing - puts her own creation and style in her work and she gives you beautiful evenly matched eyebrows for your face -- indeed, a notch up compared to other local business competition in HI. I like her quiet Japanese personality; office is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated for her customers. I highly recommend her ... but because she is so good, you have to wait over a month for appointment. Honestly, it is worth the wait.

jaclyn liang

Mako is totally amazing and she is excellent at everything she does ! She did my eyebrow and tattooed my eyeliner for me and I got so much compliments that I keep going back to her! She is very professional and you can see her enthusiasm in her work. She always spends as much time as she needs to perfect the project. I really appreciate her and love her work and I HIGHLY recommend her !!! You won't regret it!😊

Grace chun

After struggling so many years to do makeup on my eyebrows, I decided to go to Makoto. She is super nice and her skill is amazing! Love my new eyebrows and…. why didn’t I do this earlier???

LOI LOI

Makoto is the best for eyebrow design. I was kept comfortable during the entire procedure. Loving my new look!

Shawna DeCosta

I have been here twice to get a lash lift with Mako and I was so happy with her service. I got my lashes lifted since I didn't want to fuss with extensions, and they were just right for me. When I curled my lashes, they definitely looked longer and it was perfect for a light/no makeup look! Professional, comfortable, and clean environment. She's also very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend, and will be back!

Liliana Ballesteros

What a wonderful experience I had in SUZUKOO Relaxation & Skin Design, PMU Academy. From the start, I knew I was in good hands. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, the equipment and setting was clean and serene. Mako was amazing, she is truly gifted and experienced. I can’t believe I waited this long to go to her. My eyes look the best that they ever have thanks to Mako and her Team. If your thinking about it, you need to look no further. SUZUKOO is the best.

Sabrina Takeda

Due to COVID and mask wearing my eye makeup kept smearing and decided to get it done permanently. Mako did an amazing job with my eyeliner. She took the time to ensure my comfort and did not rush to finish the job. Mako did a beautiful thin lining on the top and bottom part of my eye. I highly recommend using her for any permanent make up! With all the great results I have seen I intend to do more make up because she was awesome!

Val K (Vallinda)

Mako is an amazingly wonderful and kind person. Very skilled and professional. I had been reading through many reviews for other businesses that provide microblading services and Suzukoo was at the top of my short list of possibles, only to discover that one of my hula sisters was her client. Getting to see her actual work cinched it for me. From my first email contact with Mako, I was impressed with her prompt response and was able to book an appointment right away. She was very quick to respond to all my questions and was very accommodating when I unexpectedly had to reschedule my appointment. I am thoroughly thrilled with the results of her skill in creating the perfect eyebrow shape for me using her micropigmentaion technique. So much so that I am returning to have her do Eyeshadow Eyeliner for my top lids. One of the best reviews for Mako is that my husband is very happy with the results. Highly recommendation a consultation with Mako to discuss your skin design needs.

Lani Kuniyuki

I went to Makoto PMU Academy at Suzukoo Relaxation&Skin Design to learn semi permanent makeup. Makoto is one of the very few micropigmentation artists in the U.S. who can do hair strokes for eyebrows using the machine. Her art(eyebrow hair stroke, ombré, lips and eyeliner) is very natural and beautiful, that she won many prizes in various micropigmentation competitions in Europe and the U.S. Makoto’s teaching style is very organized and thorough. The textbooks are very informative. She makes sure you understand, and she teaches you very patiently until you are able to do the technique. Also, homework is very helpful because you get to practice at home on sheets of latex skin. You send the picture of your work to Makoto on WhatsApp, and she gives you feedback right away. I’m very happy that I chose Makoto Academy to learn micropigmentation. Makoto is such a great teacher and an artist, one of the sweetest people I’ve known who wishes you the best to be successful in your new career.

It has been over a year since I got my eyebrows done so the color was beginning to fade. The last time, I had my brows done in the bay area so I'm not familiar with any of places in Honolulu. I decided to give this spot a try because of all the positive reviews and am really glad that I did. Mako is a real professional who takes a lot of pride and care in what she does. Every detail in her shop is meticulously set up for the comfort of her clients. During consultation, Mako was really informative and worked with me to create the perfect eyebrows for my face. She measured, marked, and then sketched what my brows would look like when she was done. The actual microblading was not painful nor uncomfortable at all. Mako takes her time and creates each brush stroke with precision. Every step of the process, Mako let me know what she was doing so I that I knew what to expect and the results were absolutely amazing! In addition, Mako is really sweet and makes you feel comfortable. She doesn't rush you and is very patient with the entire process. Part of the reason is that she only takes 2 clients a day so that she can give you her full attention. While she was working on me, the phone never rang, texts never beeped, and no customers walked through the door (She is appointment only). The entire process usually takes about 3 hours from consulting to finish but she took a little longer on me since I had old brow color that she had to work with. Overall, I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Mako for microblading - especially if it's your first time! She is a gentle and patient perfectionist who truly cares about her clients. I'm definitely going back to try her other services! Tip: The parking structure is in the actual building on Kalakaua ave where you will see a parking gate and attendant. Drive up to the attendant, and let them know where you are going. The attendant will provide you with written directions on where to park and the suite number of Suzukoo. After you park, you will need to take the elevator to the first floor. Then you will walk across to the next set of elevators that will get you into the actual building. Take the elevators on the left hand side up to your floor.

I love my eyebrows. I had a short eyebrows but now it looks nice now. Don't have to worry about drawing my eyebrows. Her cosmetic tattoo didn't hurt like I imagined. I was relieved because I don't like needles and pain. Mako said it's because of her machine. Mako said she is always looking in to new skills and equipment so she can make customers beautiful. Mako's eyebrow designs looked very nice and real. I can't imagined drawing each eyebrows but that what she does. I didn't know how I wanted my eyebrows but I trust her, she won Best Eyebrow Shape in the World wide eyebrow festival, so I asked her to make me look better. LOL. She did wonderful and gave me confidence. I want to try eyeliner next time🥰

Miyuki Tuakoi

I’ve been looking for a skilled eyebrow artist. I’m glad that I went to Suzuko. Not only she is a professional but very genuine and spent time to listen to my concerns on my first visit. It was a comfortable and great experience. I wish I could meet her sooner. But I’m very happy with my results. Thank you so much, Mako.

Mika Boviall

Mako is one of the top skilled professional artists on the island. She designs the shape of eye brow that fits your face balance. If you prefer nature styles, I would highly recommend that you make a consultation with her!

Maureen Hara

I had such a wonderful experience with Mako. She did a fabulous job at microblading my eyebrows! They looked so natural that the following day when I went to work, no one noticed at all! When I told everyone in my office they were astounded. They said that the strokes looked like real hair. The color was also very natural. Yesterday, I had my eyeliner redone along with light shadowing. My eyes are a little puffy but the lines looks very symmetrical and not very thick, just the way that I wanted it to be. Shadowing is lightly done. I felt that I could always add on depending on the event of the day. I could also have it redone darker when I go in for the retouch, if needed. I spent about 3 hours for each day. It didn't seem so long at all. The time zoomed by! Mako is a very pleasant, interesting, and knowledgeable person. We had lots to talk about!

Marina Chang

I don’t write reviews usually, but I want to share that Mako is very experienced in her trade and she is very patient and skilled. Her microblading and shading technique is very detailed and thorough. And she is very responsive to feedback, and listens to what you have in mind. Very happy to have found her to try microblading. I would highly recommend her.

Kai

Mako has done Re Belle, 2B Bio for discoloration, brown blemishes on my face and it look better then what was, I notice its fading after second visit. Also it helps for acne, wrinkles and to tighten face. Mako also did Microblading and Ombre eyebrow tattoo for me and wow she did an awsome job, exactly what I wanted and more. I have gone to 5 others and none of them could match her !!! She does things with profession and she really does a great job! She's sweet , caring, and loves to help people feel better by looking better! She does quality job and has quality products....... Thanks Mako !!!

Hiromi Johnson

I’ve taken her micro pigmentation class and it was great experience. Very informative text book and classes. If you are considering to learn some PMU skills, I would recommend to you all to take her class:) Thank you Makoto Sensei:)

hiroko s

Mako did amazing job with my eyebrows again! It was my ‘touch up’ after microblading which I did weeks ago. I thought I didn’t need to do ‘touch ups’ because my brows looked just fine - but She spent hours to make my brows look even nicer.... and looks SO natural with strokes! Thank you so much!!!

EE AA

I waited years to get this done with the right PMA. Makoto is talented and worth the wait. Only PMA I will ever trust with my face.

neyohs etihw

Mako has been very helpful in making my decisions on how my PMU should be... she gave me good tips. She is very articulate and passionate about what she is doing... i love my PMUs and i got a lot of good compliments from my family and friends... highly recommended bit pricey but good quality

Akihiro Kurokawa

Very impressed with the ambience of the place. The view from the curtain wall was splendid and with peaceful music and relaxing massage, I was apparently snoring in no time. The deep tissue massage really worked me. I'd definitely recommend to people who prefer a strong massage!

Tina Cohen

LOVE!! I am obsessed with my eyebrows and it is all thanks to Suzukoo Relaxation & Skin Design. 10/10 would recommend!

taeko suzuki

My favorite place ever! I love their wonderful and relaxing atmosphere with great services. I've done my eyebrows, eyeliner and 2B, Rebell herbal skin peeling, facial and massage. I love them all!!

Masa Jow

I've been here for massage. Mako will take care of you! We came here after a flight and jet-lagged. It was a great transition to Hawaii!

Kirsten Kau

Had an awsome experience! Booking was incredibly convenient, and I couldnt have asked for better results! Highly recommend for any PMU services!

Fana Lee

Makoto take her time to give me the best looks for my eyebrows 😊 thank you so much Makoto. …

Notes: Oily forehead, all year long sensitive skin. One thing to note is Makoto use micropigmentation to tattoo hair strokes or shading. My first session was in November 2019 and a follow up touch up in January 2020. My brow has been striking for a year and till after a year it still look good and natural and the color didn't fade to brow/green. Received a lot of compliment from friends that saying it is natural. Makoto's skill is one of the best and hair strokes are the finest I have seen in Honolulu. My natural brows are uneven shape and thanks to Makoto I have a more even brows now and especially during 2020 I appreciate lots as I no longer need to put any make up and to go out! The sessions cost consider on a high BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY! I recently just did a one year retouch, not because of loss of pigmentation. It is just me have OCD and totally my fault. I accidentally scratched off the scab(more like a very thin flake not an actual thick bloody scab) last year when it was healing. There was a tiny bit that was missing due to that only I noticed. It is a NO NO to scratch when it is flaking just a norm. so I just go into have Makoto to fix for me <3 I believe without this OCD of me my brow could retouch every 2-3 years. I have quite a sensitive skin and I got NO infection or allergy reaction from this.

Devyn G

I had a wonderful experience getting my eyebrows nanobladed by Master Makoto, who did both my initial and touch up procedures! She provides a super welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and I absolutely love my new eyebrows!! Best PMU studio on island!

Riveraka23

I highly recommend this place if you need PMU services, massage, and facial. I had my first pmu on my eyebrows (nano strokes) and I love it! It looks very natural and the procedure was not painful at all. Makoto is an amazing artist and very professional. A brow fairy indeed!

Saori Kato

I asked for Nano hair stokes, which I have been interested in for a long time. I had very little pain and the results were excellent. I was worried about the difference in the height of my left and right eyebrows, and I didn't know what shape would suit me. Thank you Makoto-san.

Y S

I met Mako when I wanted to fix my eyebrows that had been done at another store a few years ago. I was very satisfied from the first time and was impressed by the high level of technology. By the time I asked for a touch-up a year later, the original left-right asymmetry was no longer a concern, and the finish was perfect. I had touch-ups done again this year, but I can't think of anything other than Mako, such as adjusting the thickness to match the color of the eyes and hair, and the fashion.

Rika

I saw the finish of the eyebrows of the person who had the treatment here and it was too beautiful, so I decided to make an appointment immediately. Confirmation of solid prior treatment and I was able to start with peace of mind because you listened to my request Although it was a long time, you created a relaxing atmosphere from beginning to end, and I was able to have a fun conversation. had a good time The result is better than I imagined From the first day to the third day, I can't help but look at it With a beautiful finish Doesn't look real! I am very satisfied and would like to ask you again in the future. thank you very much :)

Rikako Shiitsu

This was my first time using lip blush. I am very happy with the result, which exceeded my expectations! I was able to receive the treatment in a state where I had no anxiety because I was properly explained from the beginning. The space was also very clean and the corona measures were perfect. I was so satisfied with the finish of my lipstick that I asked for an appointment for my eyebrows and left. it's recommended!

Mari Simonic

I had a nice eyebrow done while relaxing. When I was talking happily with Mako, it was over soon. I had very little pain. Very satisfied!

Megumi Taketa

The shape is very natural and beautiful, so I'm always worried about what to do if I make a mistake with art makeup, but I can leave it to you without worrying at all! I was very happy because I was able to finish it like that when I told the image ♡ After I had my eyebrows finished, people complimented me on how beautiful my eyebrows were, and I was able to cut down on the time I had to draw my eyebrows all the time. If you are lost, there are other salons, but we recommend this salon ♡

Shoko Borja

I'm more than happy with my new eyebrow microbladed by Mako!! She is one of the best cosmetic tattoo artist. She can design the perfect eyebrow shapes and strokes depends on your face type. I love how my brows look so natural and beautiful I highly recommend to see her if you are looking for the perfect microblading!! By the way, Mako’s facial and body massage are also so heavenly. I can totally rely on her when my skin and my body need help! Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Mako for your greatest services♡ Thank you, Mako, for the beautiful eyebrows! Both of my eyebrows had no hair on my tail, but thanks to Mako, they turned out to be very natural and beautiful. Mako-san's technique is truly a professional among professionals, as she uses various shapes and strokes to create a well-balanced finish according to each face shape. If you are looking for microblading, I highly recommend Mako! By the way, Mako's facial and massage are also the best. He is a wonderful therapist who is hard to meet, and I will always request him from the next time I meet him. Highly recommend! Mako-san, thank you for the wonderful eyebrows and the wonderful time♡

Deko Hawaii

I had my eyebrows and eyeliner micropigmented! It is the latest machine and anesthetic cream is also applied, so there is almost no pain. I couldn't even scab. No matter what, Mako's technique and sense are amazing! (Even in the world competition held in Europe where more than 200 therapists competed for their skills, only one person in the United States got a trophy!!!) Also, instead of the usual smooth eyebrows, I draw lines one by one, so it's a very natural finish! Highly recommended ♡

Saori Aubart

This was my third Eyebrows treatment. I am very satisfied with the care you always provide. I will repeat next time ♡ Makoto-san, thank you as always♪

あらいなおみ

Micro-pigmented eyebrows do not scab and last about 1 hour without itching or pain. I calmed down in a week. It's a pity that I can't retouch, but it's refreshing to think that I can say goodbye to green eyebrows with permanent makeup marks for a while.

Kyoko Chapmon

This salon offers cutting-edge technology and beauty. And who is bilingual in Japanese and English. I love her great services. My favorite place ever now! State-of-the-art technology! It gave me a beautiful and dramatic look. He is very polite and is bilingual in Japanese and English, so I am glad that even Japanese people can consult with me with peace of mind.

Keiko Kobayashi

Added aromatherapy to body massage. I consulted about how tired my body was, and the relaxing oil that Mika, who was in charge, gave me advice was very comfortable, and I fell asleep at the end of the massage! I would like to try the stress reducing oil next time.

Sawako Cumpston

Finished with very nice eyebrows ❣️ I am very satisfied 🥰
