La Beau Boutique

I work all over the country, and this is one of the BEST stores for dancerwear that I’ve ever been to *anywhere* and the only one I go to in Honolulu. The store looks small, but it has everything you could possibly need and the sale lady is SO helpful. I am really tall and also have big feet, and they had the lowest shoes I’ve ever found in a store, and in my size! Everything here is also super well priced, which can’t be easy to do with the amount of variety they carry. I recommend this place to seriously anywhere, I’ve been going here for years.

prices are hiked up very high. the owner is this vietnamese lady. she’s only nice to you if you intend to make a big purchase… other than that, she is VERY rude. she’ll follow you around & say things like, «you gonna buy or not?» or, «hurry & buy already!» she will also rip you off by trying to sell you defected items, saying «that’s how it’s supposed to be.»
oh, & if you come in looking for one thing… she’ll try to force you to buy something else completely irrelevant! like, no! I don’t need shoes! speaking of shoes, you will pay like $ 100 for a pair of heels & will not even get the box… all the shoes are displayed on a dusty shelf, as is.
also, the shop is cluttered… reminds me of a garage sale.

I always come here for my go go dancing needs! I love coming when I have a theme to match, or want to shop for Halloween. The fact that they have a fitting room and I can make sure I look super sexy first before I buy. I have started a whole collection of lingerie in all colors, and I am super proud of my new sexy outfits from here. The variety is awesome and sometimes the owner will cut deals with me since I come in so often and she knows I love dressing up, going to raves and events, dress in this stuff to make a living, and have money to spend on my outfits. LoL she is always trying to make suggestions and let me know when they will be closed. I appreciate the service and good deals. I wear a lot of thigh highs so I go in like every two weeks for something. I know I will go back over and over for my bold and unique wardrobe needs! The wig selection is also fantastic. Some things can be expensive, but it is quality and serves it’s purpose, especially when looking good is the name of your game.

I bought a friend here to look for clear heels for her body building competition. They open at 11 but we got her early and waited outside, its 11:10 and no ones here yet!

Hidden treasure of props and costumes. Never knew it was here till now. The place is packed with costumes perfect for Halloween! and the lady was really helpful with each merchandise

After shop around for my prom dress to get alterations as to get shorten and take in. So finally I choose La beau boutique, I came to see Han, she help me to fix the dress, it look so perfect, and her price is reasonable, I really love it, I will come back again.

While waiting for a table at Kickin’ Cajun I stopped by La Beau Boutique. From the outside it looks like they sell trashy lingerie. And from the inside, they sell trashy lingerie. Go figure.
But wait folks! The silver lining on this tawdry little store made for go-​go girls, strippers and «adventurous» women, is there are TONs of women’s costumes. Not sure if it was just because it was October and therefore Halloween, but they have an interesting assortment of costumes which you might not be able to find locally at any other store. I throw a lot of parties and many times I am looking for crazy costumes on the fly. I usually order online if I can’t find anything locally, but there are many times that I can’t get it shipped here in time for an event if I don’t plan ahead.
While I perused the racks stuffed with bags of costumes on hangers, I found La Beau Boutique had everything from Greek togas to Cleopatra outfits to neon monsters, there are certainly an eclectic assortment to choose from. Prices weren’t rock bottom cheap and were actually a bit steep, but considering you can buy it right there and don’t have to wait to get it shipped, it might be worth it if you’re in a pinch.

I’ve brought several pairs of pants and shirts here for alterations and am happy w/​the $$ and quality of work! And some of it was kinda difficult work. Parking in the whole area’s bad so park at walmart or alamoana and walk over. One thing, the vietnamese owner «Han» is often busy when you walk in so if you have detailed requests for your item to be altered, be sure to make your wishes CLEAR so you end up happy.

I have a love/​hate relationship with these little boutiques with alterations. I love the variety of clothes and the very reasonable alteration prices. But the moment you pay with a credit card, the price isn’t the same. You have to pay to use your credit card. Which ideally makes sense because the store needs to pay the bank to have that service. But if you are to pay cash, what you see on the price tag is what you pay. No tax! I’m sorry but I’m not an adult entertainer and I don’t like to carry a lot of cash. I like to earn my Hawaiian miles! I just think they should just charge everyone tax. But this place is great besides the paying part. Great service and they are quick with the alterations. Parking sucks but just park at Walmart or Ala Moana and walk the area. There’s a lot of cute stores and restaurants in the area.

Other than alterations, this place has all kinds of sexy inside. There are neon netted meshy garmets, slinky dresses, sequins, tube dresses, lingerie, crotchless fishnets, metallic schoolgirl outfits, and as it says on the business card, «sexy dress, shoes, hairs, holloween custumes, bikini and many more…»
I was looking and looking for a seamstress to alter a dress my cousin (
) made for me, and I had this place in mind, and I couldn’t believe there were no reviews on Unilocal!My dress is a handmade salsa costume involving lots of hot pink, sequins, fringe, and stretchiness. Of course this seemed to be the place to get something like this altered. I looked at some of the other highly reviewed places on Unilocal and I was afraid I’d get judged for bringing in such a scandalous dress to a place that normally does slacks and formalwear. I walked in on a whim and the owner, Han, seemed to know what she was doing, surrounded by lots of dayglo green fishnet tube dresses and fuzzy thongs, I thought that my dress was probably exactly in her element.
I dropped off the costume and picked it up a week later – it’s lovely! Han did an excellent job. OH, and I totally forgot to bring my ticket with me to the pickup, and my description of «do you remember the pink sparkly one with lots of fringe» sufficed to get Han to say «Of COURSE I remember!» and whip it out! LOL
