Halekulani spa features special for Mom’s Day
It’s not too early to start making plans for Mother’s Day, and you might want to treat mom to SpaHalekulani’s new La‘iku Facial and Pedicure for a full beauty experience from head to toe.
Exclusive to the La‘iku treatments, the facial features handpicked cone- and fan-shaped shells to “pick” and “scoop” the energy blockage along the spine. Warm shells are placed on chakra points to release energy blockage along the spine, décolleté, neck and face.
The facial continues with a steam, thorough cleaning, application of masks and other complexion rejuvenating skin care from Hawaii’s Pure & True Organic Beauty skin care collection, which features such indigenous ingredients as deep-sea water, blue-green algae extract, hibiscus and papaya, while a tension-relieving massage is delivered to the arms, legs, hands, neck and shoulders.
The La‘iku facial is available as an a la carte 105-minute experience for $230 or can be paired with the La‘iku Waterless Pedicure as part of a special Mother’s Day offer for $330 at 180 minutes. All guests who experience the facial or the complete package will take home a miniature at-home facial kit from Pure & True.
