I had a very disappointing experience at Mehana Salon with Shari. Before she started, I clearly explained what I wanted. I specifically asked for my hair to be cut to about neck length, and I pointed to the exact spot. I also asked for layers because my hair is very fine and straight and doesn't hold styling well. I've had this haircut before, and I know it works well for my hair type. Instead, Shari said she would cut some of the length off before washing it. I was facing away from the mirror when she took out a razor and removed what felt like almost all of my hair in one go. She never showed me what she had done. Instead, she immediately directed me to the shampoo station. After washing my hair, she wrapped it in a towel and had me return to the styling chair. Once again, I was kept facing away from the mirror for the entire remainder of the appointment. She continued cutting my hair for about 25 minutes without ever letting me see the progress or asking for my input. When she finally turned me toward the mirror while drying my hair, I was shocked. I honestly wanted to cry. My hair was much shorter than I had requested and looked like a helmet around my head. It was so short that I couldn't even pull it back into a ponytail to hide it. Because of how it was cut, my naturally straight hair curves inward, and I can't style it the way I normally do. To make matters worse, she didn't ask how I normally part my hair until the very end of the appointment--something every stylist I've been to asks before cutting because it affects the entire haircut. She also told me, "I gave you curtain bangs too," even though I never asked for them. In fact, I specifically avoid styles with hair in my face because I don't like them. A haircut takes months to grow out, and this experience has been incredibly upsetting. I went in asking for a specific length and style and left with something completely different, without being given any opportunity to see or approve the haircut during the process. Please see the before and after photos I have attached read more

I've been entrusting my hair to Jenny for a long time! She always perfectly creates exactly the style I want! Oh, wait! There's one more thing I want to mention! Until recently, Mehana Salon was located near the Kapolei Costco, but they've since moved to a new location--behind the newly built Hyatt hotel, roughly halfway between Ewa and Kapolei. However, I was really surprised to discover that the current owner of the *old* location--where Jenny used to work--is now using a name that is very similar to Mehana Salon! I actually had to call them directly to verify the details and track down the correct address. Since the names are so confusingly similar, I highly recommend double-checking everything before you make a Appointment with Jenny at Mehana Salon! read more

Worst experience of my whole life. The owner of the salon took me in. I had asked her to cut 1 inch off just to trim the ends and I left the salon crying because she had cut 11 inches off. I've been growing my hair out for years and all that work caring for my hair and the cost of expensive oils - GONE! My hair used to be up to my waist and the healthiest it's ever been- I'm devastated! The snip was so quick she had cut 10 inches in one go, not little by little. I had started crying it felt so violating- on top of it all she was gaslighting me saying "that is one inch" I had taken a video of my hair before coming in and there's proof of how much hair she'd cut. She also swept up the hair on the floor as soon as she cut it. Very very very wrong. This whole experience felt so painful for me. I hope nobody falls prey to the same experience I had at this salon. read more

04/21/2022 before I return to Vegas after 4 months in hawaii, I wanted to get my hair done. Located about 6 miles away I ended up booking this place with Shari T. This salon is located in the neighborhood which is awesome. Shari did a good job and for the first time I went lighter with the ombré bayalage look. Shari made it ashy and looking smooth as I told her I don't like the bronze look. She did it and did a good job. It's pricey due to my long hair and what I wanted out of it but well worth it since it's been half a year since I've touched my hair. So thank you and when your in hawaii, hit her up and make sure have some sample pictures in what you want done! Have a happy hair day!!! read more

Jenny is AMAZING!!! I wanted somewhere to get my hair straightened and cut. Everywhere else looked at me like I was crazy when i told them i wanted my curly hair straightened and bangs when i told them I did it before. Then I found this gem of a place down the street from my house. Jenny took a look at my hair to see if she could do it and she could so we scheduled an appointment. I felt so welcomed and she liked the challenge with my hair and since I showed her how I had bangs before she was excited. Everyone was friendly and professional and the salon was clean and a really good price so I will come back here and recommend Jenny to everyone. I love how my hair came out. Thank you Jenny!

Convenient location, easy parking, quick last minute appointments and great service. Friendly staff and fair prices.

My friend referred me here to Shari and I had a really good relaxing experience. She was so nice and attentive and I'm glad that I chose to see her over going to another salon and stylist. I had a cut, low lights and styling done and not for the astronomical cost many other salons are charging. It was very important to me to find someone to do my hair again as I hadn't had a salon appointment in over a decade. Shari is a professional who knows how to do hair and it shows through her quality work! I got many compliments from my family & friends. read more

So happy my Stylist Yong opened up her own salon! Located in a subdivision where owners can live and work under the same roof, it's like going to visit an old friend as you drive through the residential area. Follow the Awakea Sales Center and Mehana Salon signs. Street park or park in the area in front of the salon near the mailboxes. Be sure not to park in the cul de sac; although there are no houses at the end of the street, they do issue tickets! As you step over the threshold, you cross over into a salon that boasts the frills you expect of a full service salon with the warmth of a small town barbershop where stylists warmly greet you and offer you a drink...non-alcoholic of course! read more

Shari was my stylist and I was able to book an appt fast. I needed to get my hair styled and they fit me in the next day at the time I needed. After meeting Shari and getting my hair styled nicely for a wedding I was attending I made another appt with her for balayage. She is so friendly and we talked most of the appointment. She listened to what I wanted and delivered. It was a bit pricey but it didn't take as long as it normally would so it's okay. If everyone is as friendly in this place As Shari is then you should definitely come here. I felt welcome instantly and that's important even for a visitor from the mainland like me. :) read more

I had high hopes about this place because it is close to home but I can't believe the haircut I just received from these guys. I didn't go to a barber because my hair is quite long and I wanted a cut typically longer than what most barbers do. I gave them three pictures of ME from 6 months ago when I had a cut that I liked. It was a medium layered sidecomb mens cut. The stylist said she knew how to do it and proceeded to cut. She was friendly and personable but the haircut was not good at all Pretty much everything we talked about, she disregarded. I told her if my hair is too short it sticks up, and what does she do? Cuts it SUPER short. Now my hair looks like a poof ball unless I wear a hat and press it down. I told her that I liked layers and waves in my hair- None of that! Every aspect of this cut is different from the THREE pictures that I showed her. I am extremely displeased with my hair cut. Then at the end, I think she realized she screwed up so she says "It just depends on how you style it" and goes on to lather my head with gel and blow dry it for a good 10 minutes. (In the pictures I showed her, in none of them did I do any of this) Looking back, I should've stuck with my gut. I had an appointment with another stylist at the same place and she had good reviews, but when I got there they handed me off to someone else. Now I am stuck with this haircut. My appointment was at 4pm, my haircut was about 20 minutes long and I left at 4:25pm. I think this place may be going for quantity of cuts over quality. I can not recommend this place. read more

I went in to get a simple trim and layered cut with Marissa. At the salon itself with her curls/styling the cut looked nice. However, when I got home and showered that night I realized what a terrible job it was. I specifically said I strongly dislike straight-across ends-- and she made them completely straight. They layering is also very choppy and instead of being feathered in they look like little clumps. I kept hoping it would even out as it grows, but it just continues to look bad. Now I have to go find a quality salon and stylist for a new cut to correct this botched job. Would not recommend-- save your time and money. read more

I wish I could share a better experience, but I can't get back my hair that was chopped off. I arrived 10 min early to my 12pm appointment to flip through the magazines as I had an idea of what I wanted. 12:05pm rolls around and my stylist is still with her previous client. 12:10pm comes around, and the stylist was then talking story with her client at the register for the next 5-10min. Around 12:20pm she finally calls my name and directs me to her station, which was still a complete mess from her previous appointment. So I tip toed around the area to get to the chair as she apologized for the mess, and spent the next few minutes cleaning her station. It's now 12:30pm and I finally get a chance to show my stylist what style cut I came in for. Previous to my haircut, my hair was long and thick, so getting it cut made me nervous, moreso, I walked in wanting a cute lob for my round face, so I was extremely particular about being heard. During my hairwash, the receptionist demanded that my stylist go with her to the employee fridge to point out which food was hers because the receptionist had a sudden urge to clean out the fridge. Odd. Okay...lets stop service to clean out the refrigerator.. ? The rest of my time there was frustrating. My stylist cut my hair how she wanted to, and not at all similar to the pictures I showed her. When I would speak up, she spoke over me. I look like Mrs. Incredible from the incredibles, except my face and body is round too because instead of cutting my hair shoulder length, it's chin length. Anyways, two stars because the saloon is conveniently located close to my house, and their shampoo smells good. read more

I'm a Yelper and I found this salon by chance. I am also new to Kapolei so I knew it was time to search for a new stylist. Kelly was awesome. She was friendly and knowledgeable about her products and very thorough with her work. I had a root touch up as I already had previous highlights done. She matched the color well and my head feels clean and there was no skin staining. Will be back when I'm ready for new highlights. read more

For years I have gotten my hair done by a family member. But this weekend I was in desperate need of some color and highlights that's where Mehana Hair Salon saved the day. New and beautifully furnished I didn't feel like I was walking into a salon. I felt the homey feeling I do when I see my family relative. Each and every staff member carried excellent and genuine customer service. I was constantly catered to here and that's what you like to feel when your going to a salon. I hate feeling like a number and I truly never got that feeling at all here. The stylist that worked with me is named Shasteen and she was truly amazing. I explained to her my meticulous demands and she 110% delivered and my hair is exactly how I wanted it. Seriously check them out!! There having a grand opening towards the ending of July!! Everyone needs a new look this summer read more

Beautiful salon and friendly stylists! I was greeted with a smile and warmly welcomed into the salon which I always appreciate. I was able to get squeezed in the same day due to cancellations which was great! Sunny is a wonderful stylist and so sweet! She did my first ever keratin treatment and I can't believe I've waited this long to do one! My hair is silky smooth and Sunny did such a great job. I will definitely be back. The prices are reasonable for the high quality of the salon. They use quality products and techniques. Every stylist working there was so friendly and kind. Definitely has a great energy and atmosphere and I will be back! Book with Sunny, she is a gem! read more

The worst hair cut I've ever had. Came in for a style after two years of growing my hair out, asked for 3 inches off and a long bob type layering in the back. The stylist ended up taking off about 8 inches leaving me with some weird Rachael Greene / long rat tail mullet hair. I don't even know how to explain it. It's terrible. Waste of money and time. Don't ask for a modern cut here.. read more

Shout out to Sherry for being amazing!!! Biggest things that stuck out to me: Friendliness: before when is get haircuts it'd be really awkward to talk to the stylist. Sherry could talk about anything and it honestly made the haircut so much more fun and easy to go through with. Service: it was really good overall. I mentioned that I was planning to donate my hair and she was more than stoked to get a ruler and a rubber band to help me out! Nervous, but honestly the cut came out to something I actually really like. Music: I know it's not a big thing but made being in the salon so much more enjoyable Money well spent! read more

After years of going to regular hair cut places, my boyfriend convinced me to find a salon and a hairstylist that will take care of my hair. I'm so glad I actually listened to him for once because I wouldn't have found Winnie & Mehana Salon. I like to stalk the Internet and research before I make commitments on anything. I searched Yelp for somewhere close to home. The reviews here were fantastic and decided to check out the pics posted. After seeing Winnie's work and looking at her Instagram, I really liked her work and decided to contact her. Our first session we just did a hair cut and talked about coloring my newly virgin hair. Second time she did a balayage ombre. I had no clue what it was but Winnie was great at explaining it and recommending what she felt would look good with my hair type. Third visit - we trimmed and went RED And now, my most recent visit, I told her to chop it all off! She was a little more nervous then I was but I was set on chopping it. Hehe. The cut came out great and I couldn't be any happier. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Close to home (for me), clean, great new neighborhood & friendly attentive workers who really explains everything and talks story with you like you've known each other forever. read more

I am a "Sherry" client for life! A little background on me before I talk about my experience: I'm 9 months pregnant, I have super thick and pretty long "Pele" hair, and I hadn't "done" my hair for almost 2 years. With that said, I am so amazed and grateful for hairstylist Sherry Saribay. It was my first-time going to Mehana and she did an unbelievable awesome job. I was referred to Mehana from a friend and told me to see if I can make an appointment with either Sherry or Winnie because their beautiful work with color. I was able to steal a last-minute appointment with Sherry and thank goodness! Throughout the entire time, Sherry was always asking and checking to make sure I was ok: need water, use the bathroom, stretch, etc. And at 9 months pregnant and taking about 4 1/2 - 5 hours to complete my session, that exceptional customer service is greatly appreciated! I wanted to do something different with my maternity shoot coming up and told Sherry that I was thinking about blonde highlights. I've had partial blonde highlights before, but wanted a full set and a really different look. Sherry recommended a balayage, or sun-kissed, look. It turned out AMAZING. I'll let the photos speak for itself :) Worth every penny and my bill to do my hair (not with tip) was $205. And guess what? I'd happily pay that again for these results and exceptional customer service. Since she does amazing work, Sherry is booked pretty early on. While getting my hair done, I met two of her clients and they had nothing but great things to say about Sherry and they're regulars. If anything, I recommend calling at least a month in advance and ask for SHERRY! Other info on the Salon: It was easy to find street parking, but maybe because my appointment was in the middle of the day. It's clean and has a cool look and vibe to it. The other hairstylists were friendly and overall, the place and people made me feel very comfortable. read more

Great local hair option... walking distance to all residents in the amazing, growing, Mehana 'planned community' I'm happy to say that Yong, the owner and head stylist, really knows her way around some hair. I've looked and looked for a great stylist that was close, knows what my head needs and delivers! I appreciated Yong's attention to detail, and without telling her anything about what I needed, she delivered a great cut! Looking forward to having them handle my hair in the future, and always happy to support a new, local business that is in a great neighborhood! PS After you get your hair cut, walk across the street to the 'Hi Cravings' Acia Bowl... for literally, the Acia Bowl experience of your life.... but I'll save that for another review- Mehana Salon is a great place to get your hair cut! read more

Let me just say that every time I come into this salon to get a service I NEVER walk out disappointed! The stylist here know what they are doing & they always take their time when working on your hair. The very first time I went to the salon to try it out, it was Marcy who helped me.. She really took her time on my hair. Soo sad that she no longer is @ Mehana. But it didn't stop me from trying out another stylists there. This time I kind of called last minute to see if someone could take me in for a haircut. Surprisingly one of the stylists there name Rose was able to take me in.. & she did such an amazing job on my hair! She educated me on how to keep my hair more healthier and she really took her time on cutting my hair! I previously had my hair cut at another Salon back in April & the cut was real fast and it did not turn out to be a good hair cut but Rose really took her time and made sure she crossed checked her work & really made my hair feel so healthy and flow way better than when I walked in! I don't know why I didn't just stick to just coming here instead of trying out another Salon! What I also love is that they ask you if you need water, tea or a magazine while they cut your hair. Rose also talked to me while she was working with my hair and really made me feel comfortable while I was letting her work with my hair! Most def will stick to coming to this salon instead of going elsewhere! read more
