The Best Facial of My Life: Micro-Channeling with Nicole at The Beauty Room

It all started with my friend Bootzie. Her skin was glowing—like, next-level, unfairly radiant. Naturally, I had to know her secret. Without hesitation, she said, “You need to see Nicole.”

Nicole, the magic hands behind The Beauty Room, runs her esthetician practice in Kihei. This woman is a 25-year skincare pro with every high-tech gadget under the sun and a passion for transforming skin.

Curious (and let’s be honest, desperate for that Bootzie glow), I sent Nicole a photo of my textured skin. She immediately suggested micro-channeling, the new and improved version of micro-needling—less invasive, but just as effective.

What is Micro-Channeling?

Think of micro-channeling as micro-needling’s gentler, smarter cousin. It involves a device with tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers collagen and elastin production, helping to:
✅ Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
✅ Smooth out skin texture
✅ Improve acne scars and hyperpigmentation
✅ Boost skin’s overall glow

The best part? No downtime. Unlike traditional micro-needling, micro-channeling is less aggressive, meaning you get the results without the excessive redness or peeling. Also, Nicole uses human growth factors and stem cells (ethically sourced from healthy humans) to regenerate the skin. Skincare nerds: this is better than PRP (aka the “vampire facial” made popular by Kim K a couple of years back).

My Experience: Pure Bliss & Instant Results

From the moment I walked into The Beauty Room, I knew I was in expert hands. Nicole’s warmth and expertise instantly put me at ease as she explained every step of the process.

Over 90 minutes of pure bliss, she worked her magic, and when I looked in the mirror after? I was SOLD. To my surprise, the fine line between my brows was GONE, and my skin looked smoother, plumper, and more radiant than it had in years. Added bonus? My makeup has been lasting longer, too.

Nicole offers so many incredible treatments, but her business is almost entirely word-of-mouth—and now I get why. So consider this your insider tip: Get in there and tell them Maui Makai sent you. You can thank me later.
