    I LOVE MY HAIR! It's so silky and smooth. I wake up and my hair looks like this! Jackie is so thorough with the magic perm. She is the best!!! I recommend her HIGHLY!!!

    No more bad hair days!

    Jackie is AMAZING!!! Not only is she concerned if you like the end result, she wants to be satisfied with it too! That says a lot about her character and it is definitely evident when she does her magic on your hair! I was very hesitant about getting magic straightening because I've done some homework on how it could damage your hair, especially if you have had it previously chemically altered (highlights, color, etc) and I wasn't completely sure I wanted to let go of my curls. I came to Jackie because of the reviews I read on Yelp and I could not be happier with my decision! She initially did her consultation and scheduled my appointment at her earliest convenience. I was a little bummed I had to wait an extra week but for some reason I knew it would be worth the wait. She tailored the treatment according to the condition of my hair and did what she thought was best for it. Although it was a long process, roughly 5 hours, she was very friendly and answered any questions or addressed any concerns. The end result turned out amazing and I use her recommendations for shampoo, condition, and hair products. I know I will get those 5 hours back from not having to deal with my frizzy curly hair and I'm excited to only have to let it air dry or blow dry and it still look awesome! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get the magic straightening treatment or haircut in general!

    seven weeks after I got my hair done and it was still hella nice.

    Jackie treats my hair with care and after the magic straight perm she does a TRS TREATMENT to repair my hair.

    I bought a Groupon for Japanese hair straightening with Kate. The price of the Groupon was $154…read more This is the standard price that I've paid when getting Japanese straightening outside of Hawaii. We all know that things cost exorbitantly more in Hawaii, so I estimated that this would be a good deal. There were several issues before I made the appointment. Kate's schedule isn't convenient if you live in town and have a Monday to Friday work schedule. It isn't easy for me to get out to Pearl City except on weekends. Kate said that she was unavailable on Saturdays. I booked an appointment for Sunday at 7:30 AM. The day before my appointment I received a text from Kate asking if I could change my appointment to 7:00 AM. I agreed. Kate is located at Heads Up Salon inside Pearl City Shopping Center. The salon is modest and older. There really isn't much to say about the ambiance beyond that. When I arrived Kate said that based on my hair and length, I'd have to pay $100 more. This seemed a bit too much even for my thick and curly mane. Maybe $50 more, but $100? Since I was there and set on getting my hair done, I agreed to the price hike. It is what it is, but this is just a heads up to women with longer than shoulder length curly or ethnic hair. You could be charged upwards of $100 extra, which doesn't make the Groupon deal that much of a "deal" anymore. The styling itself was good. Kate was nice. She trimmed my hair and did the usual procedure of putting on the product and flat ironing my hair. She said that if I return she can do a touch up for less, I think she said around $160. I will consider returning, but first I will try to find a better deal at another salon. Spending $160 for a touch up on my roots still seems expensive, especially for an independent stylist outside of Honolulu. I would recommend getting the Groupon for Japanese hair straightening here if you live around Pearl City and have Asian or European hair that is shoulder length or shorter. If that is the case, you probably won't have to end up paying extra. If you have thick, long, curly, mixed race, or ethnic hair, it might be worth it to shop around and compare prices with other salons before committing to this one. There very well might be a salon more conveniently located in town that can do the same service for $300 or less.

    It was time again to have my hair straighten and ofcourse I will only book Kate/Cindy. Her new…read morelocation is by Heads Up in Pearl City. I did side layer, thinning, haircut and the regular Japanese perm. My appointment time was 9:30am and I was so shy coming in 15 minutes late.. (those traffic lights took forever to change green). We finish at 1:15pm.. yes,, that's how long this process was.. (and i only do it every 6-8months,,sometimes, after one year). I am so thankful for the price she gives me. She's so generous. (Almost 60% cheaper than the other stylist near the zoo..not gonna lie!). The results are always and consistently perfect! I am so glad to found Kate/Cindy.. I don't know what to do without her. I feel so happy knowing that once my wavy roots start to show up..i can always count on her. I just text her and I easily get an appointment time within the week.. God Bless her heart!
