Our Story
EVERYDAY BLISS
is the story of finding our everyday bliss! Carol and Julie own the company and met at work almost a decade ago. Carol was manning the front office while Julie was caring for patients back in the operating room. Years passed without much interaction, until 2019. Work responsibilities brought Julie to Carol's office and a friendship was forged. Out of shared life philosophies and commiserating over our wrinkles, Everyday Bliss came to be!
Our grand opening in April of 2020 instead became the "let's wait and see what happens with this Covid situation". With life looking more optimistic and realizing that we could provide services safely - we had a soft opening in March of 2021 at our home office. Now in 2023 we are excited to offer full time services at our salon site! We couldn't have done it without the help and encouragement from families, friends and colleagues - Mahalo!
The Owners of Everyday Bliss
Julie is an anesthesiologist by training with a talent for design and a thirst for the ocean! She enjoys the one-on-one interaction of client and patient care, as much as she loves hanging out with her son, Sebastien, catching waves! Finding balance among her many hats - mother, doctor, co-owner of Everyday Bliss and her hobbies (feeding people, surfing, traveling and adventuring) is what makes her happiest.
Julie Soong, MD
Julie grew up in California. She acquired her MD from UCSF in 2006 and completed her anesthesia residency at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2010. She was done with Boston’s snow, made the move to Hawaii and has been in Hilo ever since! She is a board certified anesthesiologist and a Certified PCA Skin specialist.
Carol is a local girl with deep ties to the community (who doesn't she know or isn't related to here in Hilo?!) a passion for hula and of course the water. She is an auntie-mommie extraordinaire, a nurse, and a mastermind organizer. She is the one that keeps us legit, from stocking and inventory tracking to making sure we comply with all that pesky legal stuff. Carol loves baking granola, crossfit, hula and encouraging others to be their best!
