We talked and laughed the whole time, and she really listened to what I wanted for my hair color and cut. I'm so happy with how my hair turned out -- I've gotten so many compliments! They even offered me a glass of wine and took my picture after she finished -- such a nice touch. This is the salon experience I've always wanted Kudos to Carrie and the entire Salon 253 team.

From booking the appointment to paying for my service, everything was spectacular and easy! I went in to see Bella to get a cut and toner. My other half went to see Chloe for a wash and scalp detox. I had a little bit of trouble booking online but when I called the salon, everyone was super friendly and really accommodating. Bella was super amazing and was easy to talk to which made the appointment a breeze. The salon is very aesthetically pleasing and really professional. Looking forward to coming back again!

I highly recommend Loft 145 for your next hair color, cut and style. The staff are welcoming and my hairstylist is sweet and always makes me look and feel beautiful!

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!

The place is has been pumping out good hair for years!!! Owner/management has changed but it's WAS still the best deal in town! Until last week. In my opinion, a salon with that much volume needs at least 3 people working . 6-8 months ago I got a really cute haircut and style (from an Asian guy who is not longer there :( ) so I decided to give this place a try for my next perm. Anyway, I've been getting perms for the last 3 years - my hair is just above my bra strap, can hold a curl and my perms last 10-12 months. I was charged $320 for my perm. I thought that was pricey and I would have expected that price at a higher scale establishment. I had an appointment, my hairstylist was rushing , taking calls, cuts and colors during my appointment. When the rollers came out I could see the RUSH job in the perm- curls were different throughout my hair! I'm not going back! And if anyone had the name of Asian guy who was working there 6-8 months ago please give me his number!

She had one customer in the chair and one under the dryer. I was willing to pay for a hair cut, wash and dry and two pedicures. I would have bought hair products too! They sure missed out on alot of business and money today! Even when I asked if she could just wash my friend's hair, who just had surgery Friday...the gal said, "oh, sorry I cant". Obviously this shop, (or at least the beautician), is not willing to help people even if they just had surgery and need clean hair! Wow is all I can say - no compassion at all! Why wouldn't they want to be open long enough to provide services, perhaps build clientele and make some money? What kind of business turns away clients just because they want to leave work early? Perhaps they need to hire more Stylists? Just doesn't seem like a very dedicated shop to me at all! It's so sad to be treated like this on the island too. It was a big mistake to walk into this unfriendly shop - we wont make that mistake again! Good luck with getting any help or service at this shop - no ALOHA!! I'm sure they will go out of business with this kind of attitude.
