Then Kiana finished it she flat ironed it as I wanted. I told her to make it flat to my head and she did just that. I left happy. The experience I had with Salon 253 was great. Their customer service is great fun the time got walk in to you leave. The price i paid for a wash, blow dry, and flat iron was reasonable. I'll be back to try something else. Come here if you're looking to get your hair made up or you need some glam.

I've been going to Salon 253 since they opened on 253 Market Street and I am still a loyal customer…read moreuntil now. Their new location is now on Wells Street. Parking is limited so I tend to park at the Baseball field nearby and walk down to their location. They have never disappointed with their selection of Master & Senior Stylists to their Junior/Student Stylists trained in house. Not to mention, it's a beautiful salon with freshly cut tropical flowers all over and a mod and boho vibe that I esthetically love! They always ask me if I want a drink too whether it's sparkling water, coffee or a Mimosa. I've supported both Senior and Junior Stylists alike. I do try if possible to stick to the Junior Stylists for a more affordable option but of course they all become Senior Stylists eventually. But I do believe the Junior Stylists can be 50% off the Master or Senior Stylists. Sometimes they have promos that include a Free Haircut on my Vagaro app. Today I got a Full Balayage and Haircut. I asked for more Ash Blonde tones since my top was already showing my dark roots. I also wanted French/Curtain bangs and some face framing layers for my cut. After the foil painting that took about 1-2 hours, I was taken to the Shampoo and Conditioning station which included a relaxing scalp massage. I had Toner applied twice to bring the color I wanted to life. Along with my haircut, the whole process lasted maybe 4 1/2 hours so if you do a Full Balayage, make sure you eat before you get started and prepare to have a salon day! Downside is that Good Hair isn't cheap by any means plus this is Maui. I paid $375 (not including the 20% tip) for the Balayage and Haircut. I believe my Stylist Shayla is now a Senior Stylist but I've seen many of the talented Stylists over the years, Ace, Manelle, Sara, Chloe and Shayla. If you're looking for amazing, feel beautiful and confident hair, make sure you save up and go to Salon 253! What I appreciate is that they take special detailed care to make sure your hair cut and color is what you're looking for and the ladies are all so friendly and sweet too.

This place is awesome!…read more Current circumstances: The COVID-19 protocols here really make you feel safe while getting a hair cut: they sanitize between each customer, only you and the hair stylist in the room at one time, hand sanitized upon entering, stylist wore a medical grade N95 mask and a face shield during the cut and at the end of the day they use UV on indoor surfaces. My mother went to another salon who didn't even wear a mask! Come here for your COVID cut! The cut: I had Erin as my stylist. I went from a bob to a short pixie. An important part of the hair cut experience for me is the chit chat, and she was a natural, it really was a great experience. The cherry on top: my hair laid differently after it got use to the shortness and felt a little bulky in one spot, so I called her and she fit me in that day to fix it and I have the perfect hair cut!

We had laughs smiles the whole morning making a what can be a stressful morning to instead, be filled with aloha vibes. These exceptional and talented ladies know exactly what they're doing which takes away from the stress on your special day. Each one of them has their own unique story as to how they landed at the island from previously working at the MAC counter in California to vacationing once and never wanting to leave the island or meeting their husband on the island but the common theme is their love for the island and the love of make up and hair which showed in their work. I've truly enjoyed this team immensely. The team really make sure you are feeling 100% before you leave to the venue, fixing last minute bobby-pin to changing the color of your lipstick completely because you didn't feel . Not to mention, they also took care of my mom and my MIL far after I left, making sure they're loving their make over as well. My wedding was back in Sept of 2022 and for me to now write a review shows how much of an impact they've made in my special day. I told them three things- I didn't want my ear to be sticking out, I didn't want my hair blowing in my face or sticking on me from the humidity and I'm very particular with the shape of my eyebrows. I spent days on Pinterest looking at different hair styles on how to hide my ear but the team took my inspo pictures and did their own thing, making it better than I can imagine. For any bride that's stressing out on finding the perfect team to do your hair and makeup, trust me when I say you can't go wrong with the MAB team. They really go above and beyond to do their part in making you look and feel fab as well as your whole bridal group. I had a total of 9 ladies hair and makeup done and you would not be able to tell who got worked on first or last. Thank you MAB team and with out a doubt Highly recommend this team.
