Amazing wedding hair by Sommer.
Elizabeth T.

Sommer exceeded our expectations. Not only was she incredibly talented as a stylist, her warmth and kindness put us at ease right away. We feel as if we've made a new friend. Our wedding hair was exactly what we had hoped for and more. I confidently give her my highest recommendation!!!

Loved my hair and makeup for the wedding
Katherine C.

Sommer did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup for the wedding. At first I thought she put too much makeup on my face but I was glad she did by the end of the night.

Wedding hair and makeup by Sommer

Sommer did my hair and makeup for my wedding. I wanted to go with a more natural look because it was an outdoor beach wedding, and she did a great job! At first, I felt a little uncomfortable with the amount of makeup I was wearing (a lot), mostly because I never wear makeup, but after getting my pictures back, my hair and makeup looks great! It photographed really well. It rained a lot at my wedding, and although my hair didn't really hold up after we decided to do our first dance in the rain, my makeup stayed on and didn't run at all! I'm very happy with everything Sommer did, and she made it so easy to get my hair and makeup done. She came to my house, which was very convienent! Thanks Sommer.

Went from dark brown/dingy orange to a pretty strawberry blonde with some highlights. Love it!
Christy L.

She works wonders! This correction was done during one sitting. I went from dark brown and a dingy orange to strawberry blonde with highlights. Her prices are very reasonable. Thanks again! :)

Darker and baylage. Bottom left is before (blonde)
Kaitlyn L.

Sommer was very personable, sweet and knowledgable! She did my hair in about an hour and a half and made it look amazing! Definitely will be coming back.

Loved it!
Drea T.

I felt great right when I met her. I had very long damaged hair and never liked cutting it at all. She layered and colored it. I never felt so comfortable I'm usually freaking out when I get my hair cut cause I've had lots of bad experiences. She's personable and great and what she does. If you want a good experience go to her!

Love the dark custom color hair that Sommer did for me today!! Absolutely Love!!!
Nyah R.

Absolutely love my new dark hair by Sommer! She took the time and got every strand of my super long hair;)

I am so happy I was recommended to Sommer. Her and I exchanged many text on hair and makeup ideas for my wedding. From the minute I met her she was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. She listened to all my wishes and made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. She far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her for hair and makeup. She is a very talented artist. I cannot thank Sommer enough for going out of her way to make my day perfect! I have attached some photos of our special day and please keep in mind it's was 95 degrees and very humid that day!

Thanks to Sommer, I looked and felt the part at a 40s event! She did my hair and makeup. Her work is magical!

I got my digital perm and haircut from Yosuke back in July and I am still so happy with it. It has…read morebeen three months and my hair still looks great. I showed him one inspiration video and he understood exactly what I wanted. The whole appointment felt easy, he explained what he was doing, and the results came out better than I expected. My hair is very low maintenance now and it has been so nice to style every day. I am already excited for my next touch up. Yosuke is amazing and I really recommend him if you want someone who listens and truly brings your vision to life.

After getting my hair cut by Yosuke, I have had so many compliments. Most of them say "wow you look…read moreso young". You know when people say that, you're old. When I was younger and had a good haircut, no one ever told me that. Another reason I love Yosuke is that he actually taught me something. He told me never go to bed with wet or damp hair because it will break. All these years I thought it was the opposite. I thought blow-drying hair was bad. Now I am taking his advice and most of the hair is remaining on my head instead of on the floor or in the trash can. He splits his time between Las Vegas and Oahu so you may need to wait before getting your hair styled. You can find him on Instagram - Yosuke's Hairdresseraccount. He replies quickly and efficiently. Women's haircut currently about $80 without tip, includes wash, head massage, cut, blow dry and styling. Fabulous!

What an amazing experience. I'm visiting from out of town. I chose Salon Blanc based on a search…read moreof the best hair salons in Honolulu. I also looked at reviews on stylists. I landed on Shay. She was amazing. She worked with me on a riot touch up to come as close as possible to my current color. She was engaging, fun and did a great job of matching my current color. My hair came out so silky after a toner was applied. Ane handled my blowout. She knew exactly what to do. Next time I'm in Honolulu and need a colorist, I'll call Salon Blanc.

I waited 20 minutes for my 1pm haircut, Adam seemed stressed and in a hurry when we finally started our haircut after 1:20pm, we went to the hair washing station, it was full, so he gestured me to go back to the hair cutting station, only to gesture me to come back to the hair washing station a few seconds later. Just gesturing me back and forth with his hand, no talking, no saying "please, or thank you", nothing polite about his gesturing. Being sent back and forth does not make me feel well-treated. Adam used all kinds of heating tools to make my haircut looked okay as I walked out of this "celebrity" Salon. When I arrived home to wash and dry my hair, it returned to its natural texture and it became a disaster. My hair became puffy and so many volume, that it resembled the shape of the letter "A", the shape of the Egyptian pyramid, it became the largest natural helmet you can imagine... a race car helmet! I calmed myself to wait a few days, maybe I will get use to it, maybe it is not so bad, maybe it will be okay, but everyday when I wake up to look at the mirror, I see my big helmet hair and want to cry! This disaster costed me over $100 dollars and $20 dollars in cash tip to Adam. Now I have booked another hair appointment with my old stylist to fix this disaster so I don't go to all the holiday parties with my ugly helmet hair, so that I don't want to cry everyday when I wake up. I also had to wait 20 minutes for my 1pm appointment with Adam. This so-called celebrity salon is not what it pretends to be. I don't feel like a celebrity, and I don't look like a celebrity, instead, my haircut at Salon Blanc made me feel unimportant for a long wait and UGLY!

Kinda fascinating seeing my scalp under the hair. The scalp massage was SO relaxing one of the best ones I've had and I did a scalp treatment in Korea. In Korea they sent me to some kind of massage room, but the one that they give you here with their hands was just as effective and dare I say even better. Leslie also styled my hair very nicely and recommended what products to use as well as care tips based on your scalp/hair type. She is very talented. I highly recommend! I would come back again! :)

I've tried a number of different stylists over the years: Yoshi, Sachiko, Marine, Sally, and Tiffany, and ALL have been terrific: kind, courteous, and total pros. The shampoo and head+neck massage are truly restorative and relaxing. Stylists ask questions about how you want your hair cut and execute very airy, light styles that bring out the natural movement and beauty of hair and which have staying power, even if you don't go into the salon often, like me. Appointments run on schedule, and I was out within an hour. Highly recommended! Original review: 6/26/21: More accolades for Yoshi, proprietor and head stylist at OAK Monsarrat Salon! Had wanted to cut my waist-length hair since before the pandemic, so decided to give this salon a try, based on the glowing recs from a co-worker and Yelp. So glad I did! Booking couldn't be easier: online, so you can see all available dates/time slots, select your stylist, if desired, and check off what services you want. You get an electronic confirmation of your appointment, once submitted. Pricing was reasonable ($50= women's shampoo/dry+haircut) and transparent--both the website and online booking indicate costs. First-time customers receive 20% off, and the salon offers a loyalty club for additional discounts and a free hair treatment after 10 visits. I opted for whichever stylist was available, but got lucky and happened to get Yoshi. OAK Monsarrat is located in the same strip mall that houses Bogart's Café and da Cove, so parking is convenient and free. Arrived early, but was courteously greeted and seated right away, and offered an iPad to browse styles or watch Netflix while waiting. The salon is elegantly minimalist and clean, with partitions between clients and COVID safety protocols observed. Staff and clients are masked, and social distancing observed. Yoshi's personable, professional, a good communicator, skilled, and efficient: he took me on time, and I was done within an hour. I wanted a low-maintenance, wash-and-wear style that would look good pulled back, French-braided, or worn loose, and he delivered a great, flattering cut that met those specs--his length estimate was spot-on. For those who're not fans of the shampoo component of salon visits, Yoshi might very well convert you: washing was thorough and seamlessly executed, with a warm towel placed under your neck, and the scalp massage= sheer magic! Walked out of the salon, relaxed and rejuvenated, 18" of hair lighter, and very happy with my haircut, which I've received many compliments on! Today, I received a nice post-visit email, thanking me for my patronage and informing me of the salon's 10 day service guarantee, in case there were any issues or concerns--really appreciate that courteous touch and commitment to customer satisfaction! I enthusiastically recommend this salon and will definitely return! OAK MONSARRAT SALON Phone: 808-772-4216 URL: http://oak-salon.com

I reached out to Jessica through Yelp yesterday, hoping they could take me in for a last-minute haircut today. She responded fairly quickly and was so helpful in answering my questions.

Due to traffic, I ended up arriving 10 minutes late, and worried my haircut would end up being rushed (I was the last customer for the day, with most of the salon already cleaned up).

I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process from the initial wash to blow drying/styling.
