    Emily is AMAZING!!! I asked for layers and to thin out my hair but keep the length and she did exactly that! I also had an annoying amount of questions about my hair/scalp concerns and she was very knowledgeable and gave me great advice. Literally never been happier leaving a salon. Thank you Emily!

    Love the vibe and the people there! Moved from another shop just for the Barber! Great style and skill! Recommend over any other place on the Island!

    I originally was recommended to see Emily a long time ago after her colleague told me she is very good at doing perms.

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!

Another $75 add on for toner I didn't request or know about until I saw the receipt. I think I've reached the end of my rope with this place. The nickel and diming is exhausting and just not worth it.

    My second time here at Salon Blanc was a disaster. My haircuts on December 16, 2025 at 1pm with…read moreAdam turn out so UGLY! 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!

    What can I say, I've been going to Marie for some time now and she has brought my hair back to life…read moreon so many occasions that you could say she does miracles. We always try fun colors & i always leave the chair feeling so pretty and put together. My okinawan mane (it's a blessing and a curse cause although I don't require extensions I have a full head of hair that can some times be a lot to deal with) so thanks Marie for putting in the arm work. Lol if you're looking for quality, honesty, & you want to flex on em contact Marie for a consultation. She's able to give good advice on what you need, achieve what you want and in a healthy matter. (I mean the hair journey has been platinum to color then to light) but trust the process and your hair stylist got you. At least this one has. Attached are some photos of hair that she's done on me throughout knowing her. (We've done other colors but I lost photos anyway--you get the picture. At the moment she works out of Babe Cave (the whole team there got you --lashes, facials etc) so check them out as well. Her hours are by appointment bases at the moment and she mainly specializes in extensions, hair lightening, color and styling. Let me be frank in closing you pay for what you get. All I gotta say is know that what you are about to get out of her service is quality, attention to detail & a life long friend.

Walked in between 1pm and 2pm and asked about price and availability. It would $79 and I had a choice of 3pm or 4pm. I chose 4pm and arrived on time. In the end, with tax and tip, it was about $100. Worth every penny! Heidi was assigned to do my hair and showed me a book of the types of styles. I chose curly. It was obvious she was a pro with the brush and blow dryer. They offered and I accepted water. Big TVs to watch and interesting movies. There was also a bar which I would have indulged in a cocktail but didn't want to start drinking too early. Loved the selfie ring system where you can take your photo.

    10/10 -- Amazing experience!…read more I've never been to a Drybar before, but I needed to get my hair done for my engagement photos, and this spot was literally right next to my hotel. The vibe was so fun! I loved that there were movies playing while I got my hair done, and the atmosphere felt super relaxed and upbeat. Mikey made the yummiest drinks and was so fun to talk to, such great energy! The experience started with a relaxing wash, followed by my choice of hairstyle. The whole service took about an hour, but I honestly didn't even notice the time because I was so relaxed. My hair came out beautiful, soft, and held up perfectly in the humidity. I definitely recommend getting your hair done here while staying in Waikiki. Whether it's for a photoshoot, a nice dinner, or a night out in town.
