It's amazing what a good hair day can do I had a yummy mimosa on my lunch break, and got everything done within an hour! I loved how speedy quick that was. The experience/ vibe was amazing! The first of many visits to come!! Can't wait to be back in her chair! Woops! Just realized I left a review on the wrong location. I went to Dry Bar Kahala

The stalls for this place were filled, Salt at Kaka'ako is a bit of a hike (who wants to go Hiking after getting your hair glammed up?). We went around the block twice & luckily found street parking. $2.25 for 1.5 hours. We arrived about 30 mins early, there were 3 other customers already being tended to. As soon as a stylist became available (Jazlyn) she warmly greeted us & started my daughter's experience. I could overhear the casual conversation, friendly & kind. My gal got with me shortly thereafter (Kordel), got me situated, talked about styles, etc. Having my hair washed by others is always something I've enjoyed. This didn't disappoint & wasn't rushed! The styling was fast (IMO considering my hair is pretty thick) & conversation flowed. Both gals were friendly but not over talkative. It was a relaxing experience! Will we be back? Absolutely. Just hope they get some extra parking. Better yet, move towards the west side! Waikele has vacancy!

What I enjoyed: The therapists were very professional and respectful of our preferences. They sent a questionnaire ahead of time to understand what we wanted, and when I emailed with some additional requests, they were able to accommodate everything, which I really appreciated. The massage room itself was beautiful, with a big bathtub for a coconut bath after the treatment and its own bathroom. The amenities were great too: snacks, drinks, fruits, a dry sauna, steam sauna, and a waiting lounge overlooking the ocean with lay-down chairs. The lounge wasn't busy at all, and you could easily spend an hour there relaxing. Booking was easy via email and the staff was very responsive. Valet parking is included. What could've been better: The jacuzzi was out of order during our visit, and I wasn't informed ahead of time. I had to ask for a prorated rate, and the person checking us out initially didn't want to give the discount until their manager stepped in. For a big hotel-affiliated spa, I expected better communication and consistency on something like this. The showers also ran out of bath products (either shampoo or body wash), and the locker area was missing some amenities I'd expect at this price point, like makeup remover and skincare beyond generic body lotion. I also had trouble getting a receipt with my name on it initially, though they eventually sent one. One other thing to note: the spa is right above the hotel beach and pool area, so you can hear people rather than just ocean waves or spa music. It didn't bother me too much, but it's something to be aware of if you're expecting total tranquility. Despite these issues, it was still a wonderful experience and I'd recommend it for a special occasion!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I came here once back in 2015, not long after they opened, but honestly didn't love the haircut I…read moregot at the time. Fast forward to now--my regular stylist at another salon moved off island, so I decided to give this place another try. The price was reasonable, it was super easy to book online, and the stylist who did my hair years ago wasn't there anymore. My appointment was first thing in the morning, which was great because there was no wait. Chico was assigned to do my hair, and she took the time to ask what I wanted, my preferences, and how I usually take care of my hair. I really liked her thoughtful and careful approach. After a gentle shampoo, she cut, blow-dried, and curled my hair outward--it turned out beautifully! The length was exactly what I asked for, and the soft curls were the cherry on top. I'll definitely be coming back and asking for Chico again (as long as our schedules line up). So glad I decided to give this place another chance!

I was visiting and needed a local salon to do a hair updo for a photoshoot. I saw RoseMarys's as an…read moreoption and decided to give her a call 2 weeks out to see if she had availability Saturday morning. Luckily there was a spot 8am! Morning of Saturday, RoseMary was there bright and early and ready to see what I had in mind. I showed her a few inspo pictures but also was open to her taking the lead on her creative side when it came to braids and placement of hair. The end result was perfect - the plumeria she added as a finishing touch to the updo really made it extra special and the volume made it look like I had more hair! Her years of experience and personable spirit truly made me feel welcome and loved how my hair turned out. The next day at church I got a few compliments on my hair as well! Felt like a lady haha The salon itself is within the parking garage. Follow the signs from the street and walk near the entrance of the garage to which you'll find the salon in the breezeway. Next time you find yourself in O'ahu and need a little sprucing up or something styled to feel good, give RoseMary a call!

Today is Mother's Day but my mom told me to wait to write the review and begged me not to write it…read more However, reviews are important and I felt the need to write this review (this is my first ever review). For Mother's Day I wanted to get my mom a haircut which was $80 for haircut, wash and flat iron. Daniel I think is his name did a half - a ss job and when I saw my mom I could tell she did not love it. In fact, he barely straighten it to the point where I had to straighten her whole hair when I got back to the room. And the haircut... could have been a lot better. Just half a s s everything, even looked like he rushed through it all. I regret paying the $80 + tip (that I gave my mom to give him) however I would have rather paid that same amount of money and gone somewhere else. For Mother's Day too... save your money or go with the Asian woman DO NOT GO WITH DANIEL, specially if you have Asian hair.

They scheduled me with Brandy who was awesome, so attentive, educated me about clarifying shampoo, did a very relaxing wash and blow dry, and my hair looked like a Kpop stars by time she was finished. Extremely reasonable pricing (compared to where I'm from, San Francisco Bay area in California), I was shocked $75 for a very individualized cut, wash and blow dry, with lovely conversation along the way. Glad I waited til getting to Hawaii to get my hair did! The salon was clean, took a hot minute to locate cuz we didn't follow the driving instructions on their website. If u come from pedestrian level street u need to take elevator to 7th floor of the high rise.
