I absolutely hate to leave this review and have been hesitant to do so. I went to Halo for 3…read moreseparate services, 2 cuts and a style. I'll start with the style. There was no style. I went in to have my hair done for a night out and after 30 minutes, I knew I wasn't getting what I asked for. It was just condescension and a random spritz of spray in the air. The curl fell out of my hair within 30 minutes and my hair can hold curl for 3 days without product, so I was shocked. I booked the service because I was exhausted and just didn't feel like doing my hair. I was late and so I just paid for my service, left and said nothing First cut I received was with Ryan. He didn't listen to what I wanted, cut me unevenly, and I had some of the worst split ends I've ever had within a month. During the cut I could tell his shears were dull, but not I didn't realize just how dull. He kept trying to flip my hair forward on the right to cover the mess up. I mentioned it and he told me I was just overthinking it and so I went on my way again thinking I'd do my normal style and see how it looked. Sadly it was the cut. I wrote an email to the owner and she graciously asked me to come in so she could fix my hair. She agreed it was cut uneven and she did the cut I originally asked for, which cut everything that Ryan had cut. There was no ends left untouched. Sadly, it was the same situation as before! I could tell within a week of the cut that the ends were going to be bad. Because of my layers, it has been an absolute nightmare to get rid of these split ends. And it is not because I use heat on my hair, the last time a dryer was used on my hair was when I was styled at Halo and I do not use any curling or flat irons. I use a satin rod for heatless curls. I went nearly 3 years without a cut or trim due to Covid and had very few split ends. My current stylist in Oregon that my sister has been with for 20 years is working on getting my hair back in shape but it's been a months long process. She's cut my hair many times over the years and she is just dumbfounded because she's never seen my hair look like this, even in my box dye and bleach days. I'm sorry I have to leave this review, but 3 separate bad experiences warrants it.

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!

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.

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!

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.

A sucker for genuine customer service…read more I want to give an insightful review. Both Michael and Kristin were accommodating and nice. Each one offered me a drink on two different occasions. I want to be kind and clear. Michael, from what I can tell, is still learning about the world of certain hair cuts. He takes his time and wants to do the best job he possibly can. In my situation, Kristin was there to double check and offer small changes to improve his technique. This is no knock to Michael, but to allow other customers patience and understanding. I appreciate the attention to detail. I have lived here for a few years now and Michael and Kristin did very good job on my shoulder length hair trim. I can only imagine how hard it is for Michael with having a different type of hair to cut. I would give 4 stars overall for the haircut. I was won over by the customer service and this pushes my review to 5 stars. Almost instantly I felt like I was at home with family talking in the living room. They were actually interested in what I was saying and I never got the feeling "they were making conversation" everything flowed nicely. I was moving my heard all over the place and I am sure that added another obstacle for Michael. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will be returning again. I did purchase my haircut through groupon. What a deal! The process of redeeming was simple and I had no issues whatsoever. They also stayed open past hours to complete my haircut. Like I said, I am a sucker for genuine customer service. Thank you guys!
