There I was, fresh off the plane for my first time in Maui from the mainland. On top of that, from…read morethe worst pandemic lockdown county in the United States: Contra Costa County; Known for it's shady dealings of underground hair salons and barbershops. I was desperate for a haircut as I have resorted to cutting my own hair in these dark times for the last year. Yelp was skimpy in reviews for good barbershops which dampened my morale for my search. I did a bit of shopping and a young man working at a Volcom store had one of the freshest looking mid fades with neat scissor cut on top I had ever seen. I pressed this man for a clue. Anything to rejuvenate my search for a lead.. He not only supplied a name, but he also gave me an Instagram account to follow! This was key in solidifying the booking of my appointment: Kauai Paa @styledby_paa Nestled at the top of a staircase, The Empire Maui, is a clean barbershop with a brotherly, island vibe. Kauai is highly personable and asks all the necessary questions to give your best preferred look while paying very close attention to detail. He took his time and he clearly wanted to get my cut right. I left the shop feeling like a million bucks. I highly recommend getting a haircut here.

Yesterday I arrived early for my appointment with Devin. I took a seat and watched him as he…read morefinished up a guy's shave and haircut. Watching Devin reminded me of an artist finishing up a painting. Circling around, knowing different lighting would reveal missed spots, Devin would swoop in and touch up all around the beard and head. I thought what pride in perfecting his work. If you take pride in your appearance, particularly your hair, you want someone who shares those values. It's easy to book an appointment with Devin. I usually park at Sam Sato's and just walk upstairs.

I said, "oh, I have an appointment" and she immediately said "no you don't". Uhhhh, what?!? There are about 7 people including other customers in the salon all who are now staring at me... so I said "I checked in online, would you like my name?" and she said "no we are booked!" It was so rude and embarrassing that I said "you know what, I did have an appointment but I will just go somewhere else, thanks". She rolled her eyes and went back to work.

I live a few blocks from the Maui Lani location but after this interaction I will certainly being driving across town to the Maui Mall location, they mo' bettah for sure.

So, the lady didn't greet when I entered and check out my husband who happened his haircut almost done. He asked if his haircut was good enough and I suggested to trim more some part of it. Surprisingly, the lady told me with irritated voice, "you just came and you want me to trim again!" I got pissed but remained calm and told her just do whatever she likes and left. I understand that people gets tired maybe because she was busy all day but we are customers and we don't deserve to be treated that way. I may understand more if she spoke to me in a nice way but her tone of voice was really rude. We will definitely not coming back!!!
