I requested a line up and Storm did me right. The quality of the cut makes me def want to come back for another cut. Definitely the vibe of the shop and the convo is also a plus. Good place and good spot. Def recommended. read more

Jory is an excellent barber! Always takes the time to make sure the cut is exactly what I want, and the attention to detail is top-notch. Great atmosphere, professional service, and consistently a great haircut. Highly recommend Jory! read more

HORRIBLE guest service. walked in, GLARED AT by the receptionist. pretty face with an ugly attitude. only time she cracked a smile was when I'm assuming one of the owners walked out front. we made eye contact and I'm only going to assume she called her receptionist behind the wall to ask her what my deal was. my son had an appt for 2PM. asked him to call and reschedule for whatever was available later, which was 4:30. he went in around 4:20 to check in and was told his appt wasn't booked. no accountability, "just wait". he waited 45 mins for a 10 min cut, NO CLEAN UP, walked to me with hair all over his forehead, neck, and ears. read more

A note from one of the staff or owner. Which we did call before going there and there was no answer. His response to me says a lot about this place. Beware! He responded again and basically said shoulda made an appointment days in advance cause they're always busy and booked out. So although they say they accept walk ins, I'll take it that they don't take walk ins based on what he said to me. Continues to throw tantrums and lol over a 1 star review when all he should do is take accountability and do better. Maybe a voicemail that day set up saying you guys would be closed that specific day or hey maybe having "barbershop outings" after your business hours not to inconvenience customers. The more interactions I get because of my 1 star review is giving more confirmation to my review. So unprofessional to literally make a friend or family member create a new yelp account to come talk trash to me because I have a 1 star review is beyond me. To "Joe P" aka the owner or staff or friend/family of: I DONT have to make an appointment because supposedly walk ins are "welcome". Also "growing up and acting like an adult" would consist of NOT creating a whole new yelp account just to talk trash to someone because you can't handle a review system and that you got a 1 star review. Thank god we didn't get to go to your business. Seriously people beware, this behavior is disturbing to say the least. Searched their business on Honolulu.gov and their business is not in good standing. They have not filed their business license in 2023 and 2024 with the DCCA. read more

Mylez is an excellent barber skilled, precise, and always delivers the perfect cut. I constantly get asked where I get my hair done. Highly recommend! read more

My sons just got their haircuts by Miles and definitely the best haircuts they have ever gotten. Super professional and worth every penny. Gave my 6-year old his first haircut and did an amazing job.

I always pass by this shop whenever I'm shopping at Ka Makana Ali'i and decided to give it a try. Glad I did because everyone was friendly and I was very satisfied with my new hairdo, will definitely come back again! read more

Needed a haircut badly... my regular barber has been on vacation for a month. So... decided to just go to the mall close to home... I don't make a fuss about hair, it'll grow back in a month anyway. Anyhow, after work, I headed to Kamakana, Google Maps failed me, had to call to find out where they were actually located. Finally found the place, receptionist was very nice by the way... walked in and was seated in less than 2 minutes. Myles was the young man tasked to cut my hair. Very polite and upbeat personality. Asked me how I wanted it cut, I told him flat top and he went to work. Historically, I've pretty much had my hair cut by the same person for 40 years or so... the reason being is because no one can really cut a flat top. It's either rounded or ends up like a crew cut. I can do that by myself with a flowbee, I think lol. Anyhow, Myles didn't seemed rushed, he took his time, and did a really nice job cutting my hair. I think all the "extra" stuff is ok, but next time, I'll pass on the gel and spray. It's a nice touch, but not needed for this old guy. Like I said to Myles about the final result... "What do you kids say nowadays??? This cut is FIRE!" I'll continue to go to my regular barber because it costs a lot less... but if I ever need to get my haircut in a pinch, I will ask for Myles. read more

Took my 1 year old son here for his first haircut. I believe Landon cut his hair. He did such a good job with my son. Landon was fast gentle and patience with my son. Recommend him and this place for your haircuts ! read more

Changing my original review of 1 star to 5 stars. Richard reached out and was apologetic. I know how detrimental one bad review can and may have an impact on future customers. But if you're reading this, Richard is a solid guy, takes pride in his work and i respect him even more now for offering me a second chance for him fix a mistake. Went back in today and got a cut (he reached out personally and booked me an appt). With this, I'll be a returning customer, I previously said I wouldn't, but I'm glad I gavem a second chance prove that it was an honest mistake. Mahalos for being a man of your words. So if you're on the fence or looking for a barber, Richard is the guy for you read more

Quality. Vibe. I just wanted to give a shout out to Landon at the Kapolei location. My son's barber cancelled last minute on a busy weekend of banquets and proms so finding an available barber as such short notice was close to impossible! My son was so depressed and so upset. He cried all day. Then a friend told me to try this shop. I booked it for anybody with an opening. My son was so nervous that it wouldn't turn out the way he envisioned. When we walked in, we immediately loved the local vibes of Hawaiian and R&B music! Place was pretty packed! Our appt was at 6:30pm and Landon had my son in the seat at 6:28pm ready to roll. I let them conversate and when I came back with a cinnamon roll in case things didn't turn out right. Bruh. He was beyond stoked! Landon made sure my son walked out happy, clean, and FRESH! Keep doing yo thang Landon!!!! We will most definitely be back!!! read more

Went in for haircut and it was my first time here. Barbers name was Richard, haircut was not what I wanted at all and he only spent 20 minutes cutting my hair. Half that time he was on the phone talking while cutting my hair and i thought that was super unprofessional. Seemed like a cool person but I had a terrible experience and haircut was $47 not including tip for something I hated.. will never go back. 20 minutes of half effort for $47 is ridiculous brah. Partly my fault for not being more specific, and he did say he wanted to get it to how I like, but the effort just wasn't there I felt. Update: received a call the next day from Richard. He apologized for our interaction, and explained the situation behind the phone call. Also apologized for the way the haircut came out and wanted to make amends by offering a free cut to fix it. I was very upset yesterday, however I truly respect him reaching out to me after reading this review and trying to make this right. People like this are hard to come by in life. Someone who is good and honest with their craft. These folks reaching out means they truly care for the customers and the people around them and want the best experience for them.I have changed my rating to reflect this, thank you again Richard and glad you called. read more

The barbers were really good at their craft. They were patient with my 5 y/o son. The cost is a little steep for a kids haircut, but I can't really complain because the outcome was great. I would definitely take my son back again. There is always a line whenever I pass by on the weekends. The shop had a chill vibe and they were clean. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! I decided to come here because my son was wanting a haircut and his normal barber is always booked up. Upon going into dakine barbershop I read the walk in policy and everything on the door and I figure it's empty I can get my sons hair cut. The girls initially pretended like they didn't see me and my son walk in. Than greeted me and asked if I had an appointment I told them no I wanted to see if I could walk in. The girl handed me a clipboard and said put your name and number and we'll call you. I figure it'll only take 1hour to 1hr and 30mins yes at the most before they call me to come back. This was around 5pm today. I'm writing this review .... it's now 9pm and No one called me to come back to cut my sons hair. I will never go to this barbershop again. What a joke. And a waste of my time. The pricing in here was pricey as well but I said what the heck anything for my son. It's worth the price. So I literally waited for a call that's never came. It's crazy how your treat potential customers. Shitty customer service!! And not good if you're a barber here and you're trying to gain more clientele just saying Thanks for nothing read more

It's an explosion of high quality CUSTOMER CARE coming from Barber BRAD. He's top notch. He fully understands attention to detail. Especially when Mother of Teen are going 2 different directions with haircut. Brad is an A+ A+ A+. And I gotta mention. Jaysha the receptionist made me feel welcomed. Her smile hit me at the door. She is an asset to this great business. Even tho I don't live close by. I still will return because of the individuals that work here. read more

Just awesome! Definitely an awesome location to get a haircut. We had passed it a bunch of times on our shopping trips and finally walked in for a haircut. The front desk staff was so friendly and got us right in at the same time. The staff is really attentive and detail oriented. They are great with suggestions and the time we spent in the shop seemed so chill. They had the football game on (I don't know a single thing about football) but it definitely creates fun banter and conversation amongst the staff. I was really impressed with my barber and I love my new haircut. The line up on my facial hair is probably some of the best I've ever had from a barber. Hands down one of the best barbershops on O'ahu! Definitely a must for anyone looking to get their haircut. read more

Hours of operation shows that they close at 8pm. They had a few barbers in the shop with no clients and did not want to take a walk in??

We are so happy we gave this place a try. We've tried other barbershops and had issues with their professionalism. The barbers were always late, had rated R movies playing in their "kid friendly" shop, and filthy dirty. We were referred to Jayce by a family friend and we are very happy! He did a great job on my son's hair. I'm sure the other barbers are just as great b/c all the kiddos walking out looked amazing. Very professional vibe too. Did I mention they take appts?!?! Awesome! Keep it up guys! read more

Da Kinez Barbershop - Very thorough :) - Barbers Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Customer service is THEE WORST. I walked in at opening on a Sunday but they said the wait would be about 1hr 45min so i put my kids name down and did some shopping. We couldn't wait bc we had somewhere to be so I went back and made an appointment for the following day, Monday at 4pm. The next day we arrive at the barbershop 10-15min before our appointment so we check in. Immediately I'm informed that our barber is just finishing up a client, cool. Then 4pm comes and he still is "finishing up". Although I don't say anything, the receptionist comes up to me and says he's finishing up and she apologizes because she took that client as a walk in because she felt bad for them. BAD?! OKAYYY but Tell me what is the point of making appointments if we still gotta wait? No one felt bad for me the day before, when I was a walk in. Anyway take your business somewhere else where they actually care about you as a customer. These guys always have ridiculously long wait times for walk ins and suggest making an appointment because they have priory but when we make an appointment we still wait HAHA Then the receptionist has the audacity to call me after I politely cancel and leave to ask me if I wanna drive back because they can take me now HAHAHAHA Like I didn't have 4 kids with me and like it wasn't raining cats and dogs. Yeah I'll come back, the day after NEVA. read more

Mama and Papa always wants their lil grandson to get a fresh haircut when we come to visit. I just grow em but they always insist. So we took the lil man here because they wanted the mid fade with the part on the side. I was surprise how my son was able to sit in the chair on his own. Usually he can't even sit still at the dinner table. But Landon did an awesome job. Patient and precise. Very professional. And a cool braddah. Will definitely come back again. *the pictures don't do any justice because he can't even keep still for them. read more

First and last time I go to that place. I made an appointment at 11 so I assumed that I would be getting a haircut at 11:20 tops. I didnt get a haircut until 11:50. What is the point of making an appointment if I will be waiting as long as a walk in? Honestly do not go there unless you don't mind waiting almost an hr even if you had an appointment smh. read more

First off, for anyone looking for a haircut done right; this place would be on my list as my go-to choice. Top level work w/ the right kind of atmosphere. Personally, I always go to Marck (one of their many talented barbers) for my haircut and though I don't always give much instruction on how I want my hair to look, he knows EXACTLY how to get the job done and done right. Do keep in mind, appointments are highly recommended as they can get pretty busy. read more

New to Hawaii and was going here every week for about a 6 weeks. I was being cut by the guy in the back MYLES and the last time I went when it came time to pay he told the cashier to charge me a extra $10 then walked off. I asked the lady why am I been charged $10 extra and she said she didn't know. I politely ask her to tell him can he come here to explain. Understand I've been coming here and pay the $20 for a beard trim. He's says oh it's because when I cut your hair I'm going over the the 15 minutes to do a beard so I have to charge you.. Huh? That's never been spoken to me before since going there. He said I already explained your making a seen and I have other people I have to help and told the cashier to not charge me and walked off. I already have him a $7 tip and I told the cashier here take the extra $10 as it wasn't about the money but the principle. I go to my phone and in the website it shows beard cut is $20 for 30 Minutes. So he lied and tried to charge me more felt embarrassed and walked off smh. I spoke to the owner who cuts hair there and and all she said was he should have told you earlier and your correct it's 30 minutes for beard not 15 minutes like he tried to say. It seemed she really didn't care so I let them know I would never come there ever again and will let everyone I know including my military fam Do Not Go There!! read more
