Braids Hawaii - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I showed up for appointment and had to call the main person (whoever that was) because I couldn't get into the building for my appointment. Only to find out that my braider had left not knowing I was her last client. Once I was finally in the room to be braided I was invited by good conversation and a friendly demeanor but after seeing my braids I paid the over priced cost for four crooked and off center braids rather than endure another session to fix. I will not be using this company again especially when I paid $75 for this. read more

I really like this salon! First, it was an actual shop. Yay! Then when I arrived, I was taken back almost immediately. I was getting crochet faux locs and she finished them in 1 hour 45 minutes! Never have I been in and out before! I had a braid pattern in mind and Mrs. Saundy suggested another pattern would work better for my hair. I told her that I really wanted that pattern I originally wanted and she did it. (Most other hairstylists would have told me they couldn't do my style like I wanted.) Plus her braiding was tight but gentle. I'm very tender-headed but she didn't know that until after she had been braiding awhile. Oh! And the price is the cheapest on island! BLUF: Never going to another hairstylist! read more

Braids Hawaii - Flo and first timer for knotless braids - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Go elsewhere. My hair was braided twice in two days. The pictures after the first three photos where by one woman, I don't her name. She was super nice and friendly but didn't know how to blend the hair correctly for this style and didn't feed the hair into the cornrow. I contacted the ?owner? (African accent) and she said she'd redo it the next day because that girl was learning and nervous. So I thought my braids where about to be on point! The first three pictures are what she did. Look at the back of my head! That was fresh out the chair. Not two weeks later. All of the reviews are obviously about braided that maybe used to work there? The two there now really messed my head up twice. And the braids where better from the girl learning over the ?owner? Go somewhere else. They are both so very nice and sweet but can not cornrow with extensions clearly. Also they charged me $80 for cornrow with extension hair and I overheard a person call and ask for braids for a little boy and they also said $80. Weird read more

Poor communication, poor greeting, bad ambiance. She changed her price when I got there. Nothing about this place and her attitude was reasonable. No wonder the reviews are so bad in Yelp. I paid $40 Uber just to get there and I left without getting my hair done... read more

These ladies are phenomenal! I had an emergency when i was on vacation in Honolulu with my hair and had to remove my extensions! They braided my hair up in less then thirty minutes and I was on my way to to a full day of fun! They were so nice and accommodating! read more

Braids Hawaii - French Braids! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sandy was so lovely! I called and asked if she could fit me in today for a simple double French braid with extensions and she squeezed me in as well as did some gold threading on my friend's box braids. She was fast, efficient and my hair looks great. It's tight enough that I know it will last me a while. The cost was higher than I'm used to but I felt it was worth it since it was last minute and as far as I could tell there are only two braiding spots advertised on yelp for Honolulu. I know everything is pricier on islands since I live in Bermuda so I'm not mad at it. Thanks Sandy! read more

I got a sew in today and it was my first time . I'm so sad that it came out like this in the top I have watched lots of YouTube videos on the perfect sew in no Extensions were showing . The lady that did my hair was supper nice but this is unfortunately very unacceptable for a professional hairdresser it cost me $180. read more

Braids Hawaii - My first sew in - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Just be aware that you might not get the style you want because the stylist will not tell you she cannot do the style! After my failed tree braid attempt I will definitely not waste my time or money going back! read more

My boyfriend made an appointment online went in just to be told that person no longer works there and won't be taken in for the appointment. Waited and went back 3 hours later just to get braids with extensions that were uneven and wasn't slicked down so his hair was sticking out throughout all of the braids. Came home just to take them out and find out the extra money paid for extensions was just yarn braided in. Not worth the $120. read more

I came here to get my hair shampooed and braided down so I could put on a wig. This was the worst salon I've ever been to in my life. For one, when I got there she had me detangle my own hair before she washed it (wtf). Then when I was done she took me to the sink and washed my hair lazily with cheap Suave shampoo. The one you see at Walmart for $3 :/ mind you I told her that I had a sew in for two months so to get that lazy shampoo and no conditioner after should've already told me what type of place this was. Not to mention the shampoo was an additional $25 with that CHEAP SHAMPOO and when she was done asked me did I want it blow dried and that it would be an extra $10. Ugh. She didn't blow my hair out at all she just ran the blow dryer over it while she stretched it with a comb :/ Most painful braids I've gotten in a while she pretty much braided my hair while it was in an Afro with zero product. Not to mention my parts were crooked. I'm just now taking the braids out and I can see how dehydrated my hair is and how tangled it is after taking down the braids and I'm just irritated. I paid $85 for 4 braids for some treason. $25 extra for the lazy cheap shampoo, $10 extra for the worst blow dry I've had in my life. You couldn't pay me to recommend this place to a homeless person. Save your money and have your 10 year old cousin do your hair. I'm sure she'd do the exact same job read more

Do not go to this place. I made an appointment and my stylist was almost an hour late to my scheduled appointment. She wasn't very nice on the phone and in person. I had two people working on me but one of them didn't know how to braid and the braids she was working on were horrible. I'm willing to pay any amount of money for good braids but the braids they did on me were not worth the money AT ALL. Don't waste your time at this place and find somebody else. read more

Best braid shop on Honolulu in my opinion!!! Saundy was very kind and knowledgeable. She had great suggestions on what hairstyle best for me. Not only do they braid hair, but you can get a full sew in weave, men and women are welcome at this multi-cultural shop.!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Great service, professional, will come here again next time I am here . My 16 year old got 3 braids on side of face , looks great

One of the very few braid salons on the island! I had a hair emergency on vacation and this shop was able to take me same day AND did a wonderful job on a halo braid at a reasonable price! So thankful to them for saving my vacation photos :-). read more

So, I've actually have been back to this place multiple times. They are really friendly people. The braids last long. I always get compliments from locals people AND my people. :) read more

Came here for a wedding to have my hair braided. She did a great job and I got a lot of compliments. Don't go if you're in a rush because if I had more time I would have asked her to be a little more meticuluous on some braids. She would have been more than happy to accommodate. Ultimately she did great. Thank you! read more

went to a Halloween party and the talented Flow did a phenomenal job cornrowing my hair. not only is she super sweet and professional, her prices are very reasonable! she is the real deal holyfield! she was able to braid my entire head in 1hr adding in blonde extensions. after she was finished she helped me add flowers to my hair. she sure went above and beyond sewing in the flowers, making sure they would stay in place all night! from the bottom of my heart....MAHALO NUI FLOW!!! read more

If I could give no stars I would. Terrible customer service. I should of known cause I've been warned. And overcharged at that. Do your research before you go. I'm all about supporting local businesses but this is one I regret wasting my time on. read more

Awesome salon. Have been coming here to get my hair twisted ever since moving here to Honolulu. Conveniently located downtown and open six days a week, can not imagine going anywhere else on the island to have my hair done read more

I called Saundy and scheduled to meet this weekend. Immediately i felt like i was talking to family and this was over the phone. Saturday i came in to her place of business and felt right at home!. Her assistant Summer from the motherland hooked me up. To say it was kinda spiritual is an understatement. She did better then the design i had in mind. All i can say is i am a customer for life. If you wan't it done right , then this is where you need to come. read more

I recently got my hair braided before my visit to Braids Hawaii. I called them around 2 PM to see if I could get a last minute appointment for that same day because the hairstylist who previously did my braids was unavailable and I had a concert to attend the next day. Fortunately I was able to get an appointment, but my hair was no where near the quality I expected, especially for the price. Men's Cornrows are $60. My hairstylist was very nice but she spoke very little English and messed up frequently so it was hard for her to understand what I wanted. She had to redo many of my braids because they weren't the same size as the other ones, uneven or very frizzy. Despite her attempts, she was unable to do my hair correctly. My braids were indeed still uneven, the added hair that she used did not match my natural hair and it was noticeable where she put the added hair in. I literally had bumps in my braids where you can see the added hair. The hairstylist was nice and so was the lady that I spoke with on the phone, but it's really frustrating that I had to pay $60 for my hair when it lasted only a couple of days because of how poorly it was done. I definitely don't recommend Braids Hawaii, and I won't be returning. Following up on this review. I got my hair redone by the stylist who originally did it and when she took the hair out she found that my scalp actually bled because of how tight the braider pulled my hair. This is unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I got senegalese twist, it was as fast as it could be for the length of my hair. My braids look fabulous, she made sure that they were cleaned up very nicely before I left. Just make sure you take a taxi or Uber to location there is no parking. read more

Soooo I went to Braids HI roughly two weeks ago. This place is literally down town minutes away from the HI Convention Center. The young lady whom braided my hair was not bad but not good in the same breath. I would say she was learning the ropes at my $180 box braid expense(hair not included). Her work was that of an armature needless to say. Some braids were bigger than others. No consideration at all for my edges. Far to time consuming nearly 8 hours. I asked specifically for short chin length hair and instead i got hair center of my back past the shoulder blades...even reiterating several times. So as for me....i don't think i'll be recommending these braiders. $250 for about every style except box braids lol...to pricey...happy inquiring DLiz read more

I went to Braids Hawaii today and got a full sewin with a frontal. Saundy is Awesome! I truly enjoyed the conversation and how she was very attentive to me, as she was braiding my hair she keep asking me was she hurting me or was it to tight. And as she was sewing the hair in she would stop and ask the same thing . She also stopped to run down stairs to put quarters in the parking metor. I absolutely love my hair , she truly know what she is doing. She most definitely has a customer for as long as I'm in Hawaii. My husband is in the Army and we have been here since June of last year and in that time I have been to about 3 other people to do either my hair or my daughters and it has been the worst experience ever. Whether it was the lack of professionalism or skills in doing hair or both. So it was so refreshing to be in the presence of a true professional! I most definitely recommend Braids Hawaii!!!!!!! read more
