Kelly obviously has experience and talent. She did a fantastic job getting the cut & color to my liking. Over-all an enjoyable, positive experience. Pre-booked on my way out...Highly recommended! read more

KELLEY IS A MAGICIAN!!! She can do hair magic!!! She's the stylist you've been looking for!!! We're a military family, so we move every 2 years. I've had many hair stylists, and Kelley is the BEST! She really listens to what you want, and makes it so beautiful! I've had super blonde highlights for about a year with her that were gorgeous, then I decided to go darker- a more natural blonde, and she did that so beautifully! She's kind, fun, and a professional. And the service is not even the best part... the PRICE is unbeatable in Hawaii! You won't find someone better for cheaper. Do yourself a favor, and book an appointment with Kelley! read more

I found this little hair salon in Kailua about a year ago and have been going there since. Kelley is simply amazing! Her little salon tucked away next to 7-11 is super clean, neat and very inviting! Kelley is a very talented hairstylist. I have been to many expensive salons, like Paul Brown, The Fix and etc... but Morea Studio is a real find. Kelley does not charge an exorbitant price for a hair cut even though her haircut is way better than some of the expensive salons! I get so many compliments for my haircut. Kelley is truly a gifted hair stylist. I would highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed. read more

They don't answer their phones. They don't reply to phone messages or text messages till the next day. They don't have online appointments. I can't deal with a company that can't communicate in a timely manner. read more

Aloha, I have used Kelley to do my hair for almost 6 years now. I've followed her from each salon she worked at. I was so pleased to learn she had opened her own salon. Truly a huge accomplishment. She is very professional and cares about her clients. She also is very talented at doing make up. My daughters hair and make up were flawless for her prom. read more

SO happy I found this salon in Kailua town! My 'pandemic' hair was longer than it's been in decades - and while it was kind of fun, it wasn't flattering - and I needed a change. Jenn heard what I was saying - I have fine hair and don't typically spend any time styling my hair - yet I want it to look good straight out of the shower. And she did it!! I was on the fence about bangs, so she suggested giving it a few days to decide. And when I came back for bangs, she got them exactly right. This salon is a gem in Kailua - I'll definitely be back! read more

Morea Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

A girlfriend of mine referred me to Dauna @ Morea & I love her! Parking is in the back of building, it's very clean & relaxing inside. Dauna is an amazing colorist and gave me the perfect cut also! Fair prices too for color & cut. Highly recommended them! read more

Liz is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and listens to you! She worked with my hair issues, gray hair, bad bleach job, etc. and I could not be happier with the result!I love my hair! I will be returning to her for the long haul. Morea Studio is a very modern and hip little place. They offer coffee, tea, water, and have a cute array of snacks when you come in. The windward side needed a fresh place like this for those who are looking for something different and tired of the same old salons. Prices are also very fair. Parking can be slim, so come early. Or park at the library across the street. read more

Kelley is the best! Been going to her for like... 13 years?? She also did my hair and makeup when I got married. Love her!

Love this new gem of a hair salon located in Kailua! The vibe is so inviting with coffee and goodies greeting you as you walk through the door. Greenery that makes you feel at home. And best of all the way you feel when your hair is all did, feeling shiny and gorgeous on your way out. My hair stylist, Liz, is absolutely brilliant! From the moment you sit down she really listens to the desired look you want and then begins her magic. If you're looking for an experience and not just getting your hair cut by some stranger I highly recommend checking this place out! K, bye :) read more

Ive been going to Kelley Porter for cut and color for over 10 years and she never disappoints! My hair isn't the easiest as its curly and frizzzy and requires a little extra TLC so you can imagine that when you find a good stylist - you stay with her! I was thrilled and so proud to hear that she was opening Morea salon and watching her vision come to life was more than thrilling to see. I just had my first haircut in her new space and I was very impressed. Biking an appointment was easy, I even got a text message reminder (which I love!), parking is easy. The place is cute, clean and they offer all kinds of refreshments! If you're looking for a good hair stylist with very reasonable rates, I highly recommend her! read more

Can't say enough about Esme. She was wonderful. Greeted me and made sure I was comfortable. We discussed where I wanted to go with my look and she gave me great counsel on my color based on my needs and skin tone. I love this lush chocolate. She understood I want to grow it out a bit and really cleaned up the cut to be modern and sharp but also allow it grow out well. I often feel like I'm at the salon for a long time but the space is comfortable without being too big and she got me processing fast. The cut and style were smooth. Looking forward to being a repeat customer! Wish I'd found her sooner. I should also add that I contacted the salon for an appointment yesterday and they were able to get me in quickly which was awesome given the high demand in Hawaii. Really appreciate the flexibility. read more

This was the first quality hair experience I had ever had and after 10 years of getting hair services here and there in different states and cities! Literally the best! Quality service, clean environment and Liz is the best and sweetest stylist ever. She listens to exactly what you want and is able to execute your exact ideas even if you aren't sure your self.

Hands down the best! read more

One of the hardest parts of moving is trying to find the right stylist. I first went to Donna on the recommendation of a friend 6 years ago when we moved back to Hawaii and I have not gone to anyone else since. It's rare to find a stylist who is equally skilled at color AND cuts, but Donna is. I've referred many people to Donna, including strangers who asked me who did my hair because they loved the color. She's great at giving me a style that fits my hair and one I can manage myself after I leave the salon. I get bored and sometimes just want to try something new. Even when I'm not exactly sure what I want, Donna listens to me and helps me figure out exactly the right change. Donna started off as my stylist, but she's become my friend. I'm headed to an appointment with her in just a few minutes and I can't wait for her to work her magic! P.S. I love the studio space. It's bright and clean and very comfortable. Parking is free, which is always a plus in Hawaii! read more

I love this place! It's super clean, has great lighting and a good vibe. I love that Kelley sends text reminder for appointments since I'm always so scatterbrained it's a HUGE help! Kelley has been doing my hair for years and works with me to come up with the best style for my hair and will give me realistic suggestions and expectations. She knows that even when I say I'm going to change and wear my hair down, I will be wearing it up most of the time! So she works with me to make sure I have the best look when wearing my hair up or down ;) I love working with Kelley although the other stylists and staff are super friendly too! read more

Donna has been my stylist for many years. I followed her to Morea Studio after she left another salon that she had been at for many years - SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BOMB.COM!!!! She's really the only person I will allow to style my hair, and quite frankly, I just go to my appointment and let her WORK HER MAGIC :) She is so knowledgeable in her craft that she never disappoints in making the end result super unique and beautiful. Not an easy task as far as I'm concerned seeing as I have a very short, pixie-style cut. I receive sooooo many compliments on my hair especially right after my appointments with Miss D! She is definitely a stylist worth the ride to the Windward Side - Mahalo, Donna! read more

Donna has been doing my hair for several years and she is fantastic. Donna knows exactly what I want from my hair and she consistently makes that happen. The salon itself is very relaxing as there are only three stations so I never feel overwhelmed. And there is parking! read more

I've been going to Kelley for a long time and just had to share this story... I was on the North Shore on a wind blown day and I honestly felt like a hot mess. Then a kind lady told me I had the most beautiful hair and highlights. Thanks Kelley for keeping my hair beautiful even on those hot mess days. read more

I tried calling twice, and the receptionist ended up texting me back instead of calling back, which I'm my opinion is very unprofessional. Not gonna waste my time trying to work with this salon if they aren't going to take my inquiries seriously. I called twice on Saturday, got a text on Tuesday for reference. read more

The only name you need to know is Donna. She is well worth the wait if she's booked out - there's a reason she's booked solid a lot of the time. I had Donna do an all over color - making my hair blonder - and then cut. Donna assessed my hair and let me know how much I should cut so that it's healthy (my ends were very sad looking and I went way too long between cuts) and how light I could go without damaging my hair more. She made me blonder which I love. She gave me an amazing head massage/hair wash, and then cut my hair once she confirmed that I was ok with the length it would be to get rid of the old, dead, & sad strands of hair. Afterwards she styled my hair so I really got to see how it would look. I love my hair and I love going to see Donna. She's always really kind and friendly and honest with me about the health of my hair and how far I can push it. She gives me tips and pointers on how to style it too! I already booked my appointment for the next time so that I don't have to wait. Book her now! You won't be disappointed! read more

I'm handed a phone with a multiple choice tipping option: 15%, or 20% or I forgot the third option. No thanks! I'm a big tipper, and I don't need the stylist to prompt me with choices. I found it rude... read more

Kelley was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I have textured hair and I've always found it hard to find someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to my hair type. She asked me what I was going for and when I didn't know, she gave me some options that would best suit my hair type and goals of achieving healthier hair. I have killed my curls so much over the years that they've gone down to a dramatic wave. Kelley was able to restore my hair with a treatment that helped wake it up from the dead! My hair is so soft and shiny from it! She cut off all of my damaged hair and now I can run my fingers through it without it getting all knotted up and tangled. I still have a long way to go in training my curls but I know if I continue to come here for touch ups and keep training these bad boys they'll get back to their glory days. I absolutely love how my hair came out. I found my new go to salon!! read more

Morea Studio - Very clean studio! Smells nice. And greeted with a smile. Great first impression! - Hair Salons Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I have been going to Kelley for the past 10 years and she is AMAZING. I am always happy with my cut and/or color. Also, you can't beat her prices! You get more than what you pay for when you get your hair cut or styled by Kelley. Even though I live in Honolulu, I drive out to Kailua just to get my hair done by her. She is worth the trip. If I could, I'd give more than 5 stars. The studio itself is beautiful! It is clean, newly renovated (!) with modern/minimalist interior. It's on the second floor, behind Bowles Burrito. Go up the stairs closest to the 7/11, and it's the first shop. Free parking as well! read more

I've had this salon bookmarked for a while now and I am so happy I finally made an appointment for a haircut. The appointment was very easy to make. I messaged the salon via Yelp. They messaged me back telling me to call of text the salon. I love that you can just make an appointment via text because I'm the type of person that hates talking to people on the phone m! Then that was it, I got an appointment the same day with Donna. Donna was very nice, very easy to talk to and she did a great job on my hair. I will definitely be back to color my hair in the near future! read more

Liz is the best hairdresser! The first time she did my hair over 15 years ago I knew she was a keeper and she always does such a great job! And I love her new studio in Kailua, Liz and Kelley did such a great job getting this salon to be perfect! And if ever Liz is not available Kelley is my other go to hairdresser. They both do such an amazing job with making my hair look fabulous and I always get asked who my hairdresser is! I love experimenting with bright fun colors and Liz is always helpful in giving me good advice of what colors would look best. My daughter loves getting her hair cut by Liz too. I highly recommend coming to Morea for your next hair appointment! read more

I'm so excited for Kelley and her business partner for their new salon. She has been my stylist for 8 or 9 years. And for good reason. First for my review of the new place. When Kelley told me about designing her own salon and putting her own sweat and blood into the creation and ideas I knew it was going to be awesome. She puts detail and patience into all the crafts I seen her create. The first thing I noticed when driving up, was their private lot with free parking!!! A lot of other local boutique places in Kailua are surrounded by meters. It's nice to not worry how many quarters I have. Once inside it's welcoming and open. The waiting area is not cluttered and you immediately notice the help yourself to a beverage or snack area at entrance. Being that they are two women running their own place,if they are with a customer it's nice that they made it easy to make yourself comfortable. Also don't miss out on sissor wall clock, I'm sure a Kelley crafty touch. You always know your in good hands when you walk in and your stylist is on point. Cute style cute hair. Kelley is awesome and has many times convinced me to not burn my hair off with bleach. She shows she cares by advising and not just saying ok. I just say "your the expert". She has helped me have red,black, and all the way to blonde hair. Rainbow extentions and stylish vegas looks. I can always count on Kelley to help my vision be expressed in my hair. The friendly conversations make the time fly. Good music selection too. I have reffered countless friends her way with the confidence that the toughest critic would come away satisfied. I have seen her work on clients on all ages. Knowing styles that would make them look good. She blow dry and styles with her services. Oh and the head massage with the wash is impressive to say the least. The conversation is always interesting too. One thing that has kept me so loyal to Kelley is her pricing is fair and does not fluctuate at crazy rates. I'm not saying she is cheap, she is fair. I don't ever have a sinking feeling of how much is this going to cost. This has been true also for people I have referred. I could go on. But try it for yourself. read more

First things first - Donna is fabulous. She is everything you could want in a hairdresser. She listens to everything I say & has a consult before every appointment, even though I do the same thing every time. She is extremely patient when trying to make an appointment.

Dear God I love the magical hair worker Kelley. I have been following her around for the last two years. Her hair cut is spot on perfection. She knows how to layer hair. Plus she is super gifted at color. I have long, thin but abundant, layered hair that I often get high and low lights in. She is able to cut through the confusion of what I think I want and how it would actually turn out regarding hair cut and color. When she tells you want she thinks, listen. Her guidance is 100% accurate, it's up to you to decide what you really want. Plus, on top of all of this, her services are so so so affordable. I highly recommend making her your go-to hairdresser. read more

Wow! I called here looking for an appt and got the voicemail so hung up and attempted to contact via yelp. I got a message back within the hour to call if I wanted an appointment. So I called. I'm not sure who I spoke with but she was not friendly. I ahave curly hair. Anyone with curly hair knows that not everyone can cut curly hair. My hair stylist left the island so I've put off getting my hair cut Bc I have had some truly terrible cuts in the past from very well meaning stylists. And any good hair stylist knows that curly hair is not just any hair. I mean, in nyc where I came from there were even salons dedicated to curly hair!!! So when I asked the person who answered the phone for someone who was particularly good at curly hair, and she said "well I can't speak to how XXX is..." I was confused. Any professional should be able to see who of their colleagues is better at curly hair than others. And she was either having a bad day or just has a rotten attitude, Bc she made me feel extremely unwelcome for even asking about making sure the person was familiar with curly hair. Soooo, I won't be using this salon. They may or may not have stylists who cut curly hair well, but I wouldn't know. Poor poor customer service. Shame on you. You just lost a potential client. read more

Amazing salon! You wouldn't imagine such a cute, modern, & zen salon is tucked away up there! And Kelley has been styling my hair for over 10 years & killing it! I've done soooo many different cuts & colors - & she always nails it. Highly recommend :) read more

During my 6 weeks stay in Kailua, I needed to get a blow out and later a color touch up. Used Yelp to find Morea Studio that had many positive reviews. Kelley is a true professional. She listened carefully to what I needed, then proceeded to do an excellent job. She is pleasant to talk to and her rates are very reasonable. It is very nerve wracking when using an hair stylist for the first time. However, I was EXTREMELY PLEASED with both my appointments that I had with Kelley. Her Salon is very well appointed--clean, comfortable chairs, coffee bar, nicely decorated. I wish her much success and hope to see her again next year! read more
