I ended up with the biggest ugly matted knot in my hair i've ever had. I tried everything- expensive detangling stuff from the hotel, combing at it, etc and it just got worse and worse. Thankfully I found Amanda and Salon North. It was about 15 minutes from my hotel in a cute shopping area. Amanda was so kind and easy to talk to. The time flew by as she worked diligently on my knot and got the ENTIRE thing out!! I was most worried about hair loss but can't even notice a difference. She finished me off with a good wash and serum in my hair. I can actually comb my fingers through my hair again and I'm SO grateful!!! Thank you Amanda and team. I couldn't be happier that this knot is out of my life and have you to thank.

Had the pleasure of working with Kaija for a week long video shoot on Kauai and I cannot tell you…read morehow happy I was with her work. Not only does she put her whole being into her work, but she adds so much positivity to the overall experience due to her kindness, energetic spirit, and work ethic. It was a rigorous shoot and she went the whole distance with me. It was SUCH a joy and a blast to have her there, and honestly I don't think the final product would have been the same without her. I was/am in awe of her makeup and tanning skills, and plan to use her any and every time that I can. If you are coming to Kauai and need a makeup artist for an event, trust me when I say you would be so lucky to have this woman :) Thank you, Kaija!

She doesn't just dye hair. She creates your look! This queen considers the shape of your face, your head, your hairline, your coloring and then like the true artist she is "CREATES". She is a master of color! She's had extensive education and never stops learning. She's cutting edge! By the way, she is also not a gossip. She's a lover of music. She's a lover of her family. She's a traveler and shares her fun exciting adventures. She's a listener! She's not a therapist but could play one on tv. She's soulful. She's a little funky in all the right ways. I've only ever loved two stylists in my life and Ash is one. When I leave the salon, I feel beautiful! Thank you Ash.

I am adding White Orchid to Yelp because I want to share how great Dianne is . . …read more I was married in a small ceremony on Kauai last month, and hired Dianne as my hair and make-up artist. She did a great job on my hair and face, but what I really want to write about is her amazing personality and dedication to making my day as perfect as possible--even with all sorts of difficult circumstances! First of all, she was very professional, on time to our run-through and on the day of, and she was well-prepared. She brought plenty of fresh orchids in the colors I had requested to put in my hair, and lots of MAC make-up. She was also very friendly and good about responding right away to my many questions and emails leading up to the wedding. She only books one wedding a day, and really commits herself to the bride and makes the bride feel special and taken care of! Not only was the hair and make-up beautiful, but Dianne went above and beyond, helping me steam my dress (and, when the travel steamer failed, made the very helpful suggestion of hanging it in the bathroom with a hot shower running--worked like a charm!!). Then, when there were major problems with my custom wedding gown, she actually helped SEW me into the dress (also helped me get into it) and pin up my detachable train, which had not been done correctly and would not stay on. It must have taken about 40 minutes to get me into that dress. She stayed a VERY long time--I think it was about three hours!--when we had all sorts of issues getting the ceremony started, she never complained or made me feel the slightest bit guilty about keeping her so long, and she was SUPER calm, sweet and helpful throughout. (She even responded to my late night email asking how to get the individual eyelashes off!) She ended up being my main companion in the getting ready process, and I cannot emphasize enough how critical her wonderful personality and commitment to making me happy were in getting me through that stressful time. I HIGHLY recommend Dianne if you want someone who is dedicated to what she does and will make sure you look and feel fantastic on your big day!
