I couldn't believe how quickly she was able to fix exactly what I wanted with such ease. She even recommended how to book in the future to get the look I wanted. The way she explained it to me was so simple you can tell she really knows what she is talking about. I can't wait to come back for my next appointment!

I wanted my usual A-line cut. Brianna didn't do that. The back of my hair has a choppy cut with the…read moretop section at least 3/4" shorter. Not blended or anything. The right side wasn't straight and she told me it was because I part it on the side. It was because she didn't cut it straight. I didn't look at the back when I was at the salon. I wish I had. She didn't offer to show me either. Which is usually what happens with a haircut. I will not return to Hairplay. I could have done a better job myself. It looks like I was the first haircut she ever did. Unfortunately it's so short I have to wait to even get it fixed In the back.

Stopped in over the weekend for a cut w Madora and was thrilled with the results! I called the…read moremorning of and as luck would have it a cancellation let me snag an appointment that same day at this convenient little salon just around the corner from my apt. I'd been frustrated with my hair being a little long over the past few weeks as well as pretty flat. Madora listened to all my issues and tailored her service to exactly what I wanted. She also made some recommendations for how to get me more volume in my look. She was friendly and professional and I am so happy w my new cut! Post-cut, she also gave me some pointers about how to get a beachy/wavy look to change things up once in a while --- something I've tried and failed to master in the past. The interior was adorable too - an intimate little salon with the nicest staff. I will most definitely be back as this is now my go to spot!

She always nails the layers in my cuts, and at my last appointment I spontaneously asked if we could do some highlights and she was so flexible and was able to accomodate me on the spot and gave me the best hair of my life! I've received so many compliments with her cut and colors. If you're in Anchorage I would highly recommend coming to Celina!

Celina is a truly AMAZING hair stylist!!! I highly recommend her for color, cuts, and styling!!! I…read moream SUPER picky about my hair color! Blonde highlights are not easy to get right and especially to make your hair look naturally blonde like it was in those earlier youthful years! Having lived in many states and many cities, I have been to soooo many different salons/ stylists that did not do as great as a job as she does! I can confidently confirm she is exceptionally skilled with color! I am very thankful I found her. Even though crazy to believe, I seriously drive 5 hours ONE WAY from where I live, just to get my hair colored by her! Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would be willing to drive so far to get my hair done but I do bc SHE is worth it to me! I always leave so happy with how my hair looks and feeling like my best self!!!! Beyond being so very talented stylist she is also very kind, thoughtful and pleasant during her services , which is just the extra cherry on top! You will not leave disappointed with her. Thank you for being SO AWESOME Celina!!!

Went in for a hair cut and got one of the worst cuts of my life. I'm a guy with medium length hair…read moreand the stylist only took about 10 minutes and didn't bled anything and left one side of my hair longer than the other. When I pointed out at the end I wanted it to be blended better and evened out the stylist told me it looked good and was fine. This is on top of not even getting the style I wanted.

Super convenient experience. Easy to use sign up function to reserve your spot, affordable pricing,…read moreand a pretty chill environment overall. These are not the best haircuts with the cleanest fades that I've ever gotten in my life, but that's not what I'm expecting when I need a last minute haircut for 20 bucks. For the price the haircut is solid, looks good, and I've been complimented on it afterwards. If you really hit it with some scrutiny you can find what are, to me at least, minor issues and nothing glaring. Now that I've been here twice in a pinch I'll have them in my regular rotation when my barber isn't available!

What a hidden gem! Needed a new stylist after my main gal moved out of state and decided to come…read morehere after reading some of the reviews. Let me tell you- Ms. Kawehi lives up to the hype! I have had some terrible cuts in the past and am very hesitant when having my hair cut by someone new. Kawehi took time to communicate, asked questions throughout to make sure the cut was going in the right direction, and brought just a very positive vibe to the whole experience. I would definitely recommend coming here, 10/10!

Kawehi (owner and operator) is awesome in every way. I met her through my mom who's been going to…read moreher since she was in hair school. We've had the privilege of following her all the way to her own business - Island Style. She is located in Mountain View in one of the recently built residential on top, business on bottom, combo buildings. You can schedule via telephone or online. Keep in mind, she is usually only taking appointments during the weekends. Once at your appointment, you park in the back of the building and you enter a code via the backdoor. Island Style has large windows that look out into the main road. The shop is quaint and clean. Black and Red is her vibe. She has a large mounted TV for your entertainment. I personally see Kawehi for "long hair Hollywood blowouts" for me and/or my daughter. Despite having ethnic hair, I'm in and out in an hour and a half. Lots of stylists call themselves "master stylists," but they can't handle ethnic hair FYI, it's a total joke. Any way, the amazing Kawehi is outgoing and always makes great conversation. Her prices are definitely competitive. I would be asked to pay almost double for the same service elsewhere. She colors my mothers hair often, so I can say she is definitely an expert in that arena also. I have hired Kawehi for private weddings and other special events and she always comes through with quality work and a positive attitude. We are so greatful to know her. Book here, book here!

I highly recommend making an appt with her if you are considering a perm. Honestly this is probably the best perm I have had in my 50 years of hair adventures. Growing up in the 80s/early 90s I have quite a bit of experience with perms. Also, the salon's public relations cat, Khaos gets a 10/10 paws from me. Mickey was friendly, engaging, and professional, she has a new customer for life.

That said, all of the students and staff take the job very seriously and care deeply that you are happy when you leave. On one occasion I received a cut from a student I was not 100% thrilled with but I let them know and the owner Shawn was able to get me straight back in and got it where I wanted in about 10 minutes. Don't be afraid to say what you like or don't like (while being courteous) and you'll be an important part of someone starting their career as a hair stylist. I've been there probably 10+ times already and I already have my next appointment booked.

Or before we started the appointment for that matter. that was not good since I was not expecting to pay for more than the Groupon.
