Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by Ava and taken care of. The atmosphere was clean, relaxing, and stylish, Ava's staff were incredibly friendly. Ava really listened to what I wanted and offered Deep conditioning suggestions that made my hair turn out even better than I imagined. The attention to detail, skill, and care were top-notch. I left feeling confident, refreshed, and so happy with my new look. If you're looking for a salon that truly delivers quality and great service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! ‍ read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I had to say something. Basically they charged me $500+ to turn my hair orange. My hair was dark brown (dyed). And I understand that it's a long process to make it light brown again, but they knew they messed up and it left me crying. To start, the stylist double booked himself and instead of rescheduling me, he stuck me with a random stylist that seemed lost the whole time. They said they toned my hair but I looked like a pumpkin at the end. Not to mention, the older woman who worked on my hair, seemed rushed and immediately walked out the door after curling my hair. Idek if she toned my hair. I would have asked her to tone it again, but she was gone. She also barely spoke English so after she dried it, I couldn't get through to her and ask about the color. Or even the possibility of toning it again. The stylist, who I was supposed to see, was still working on someone else's hair. Keep in mind, I saw him for a consultation on a Monday and he scheduled me for that Friday. So idk how someone got booked at the same time. The guy at the front desk was nice and could tell I was sad though. He gave me a free hair mask. But all the employees gave me this look of "oh sh*t that looks bad". I think they were waiting for me to say something, but I was just so embarrassed. It felt like everyone was judging me. I asked about the color and when I could come back to get it fixed, they said two months. That would mean two months of bright orange hair for me. And the stylist (that barely worked on my hair) told me my photo was unrealistic and "looked white". It was a picture of someone with light brown hair, not white. The same picture I showed him at the consultation. Idk why he held that in til the end of the appointment anyways. I got flustered because it seemed like he was mad at me for even asking for that color. I didn't even know how to respond except with "I didn't think it looked white" and then I got quiet. Ended up crying in my car in their parking lot for 45 mins until going to Ulta and asking them to fix it. Ulta toned it and put a gloss in it to at least make it look normal. I was so embarrassed and hated how I looked that I even cried in front of the Ulta employees. Not proud of it...but it happened Bottom line, I'd find another salon. read more

I highly recommend Salon Ava. They are very responsive. Online scheduling was easy. I went to see Brandon & he is a great communicator. I thought the personal appt. reminders from the salon was very nice too! Brandon listened very well to what i wanted and he's very meticulous while he works. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I think Brandon and the salon deserves way more recognition. They all seem so kind and location was easy to find. I will definitely come back. 10 out of 10 read more

Scheduling online was easy. It's my first time here tryin it out. I got the owner Ava. She ask what I wanted. I did a haircut service and wanting layers and thin out my hair . She was amazing! The service here was great! My hair was really thick and long. It felt so good to chop it off granted I only cut it once a year. Definitely will come back here again. read more

First off, the online scheduling was easy, and anyone who lives here knows parking can be a headache, but that was also easy here too with the free parking on the second floor. staff was super friendly and welcoming. They even offered me a cup of coffee that actually tasted high-quality, which really set the tone for the visit. For my cut, my stylist knew exactly what she was doing. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted, and I was very satisfied with the result. If you want a sharp fade or a clean trim and a relaxing experience, this is definitely the place! I also don't know what shampoo they used after my haircut but it smelled nice and I felt so refreshed. It wasn't just a quick rinse, they really take their time with the head massage and make it feel like a premium service rather than just a chore after the cut. This salon isn't the cheapest, but it's definitely the best value for the money that I've come across so far. read more

My boyfriend and I had such a lovely visit to Salon Ava today! Was recommended by a friend and we weren't disappointed. Issac checked us in and made us some coffee while our stylists readied the chairs. My boyfriend's hair came out great thanks to Suzy (and his hair can be kinda tricky to get the sides right) and mine came out perfectly thanks to Tina (who checked in on length and my layers very diligently to make sure they were to my liking and matching the shape of my face). Also appreciated that I was able to easily book the two of us at the same time through the group booking option on their website. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of haircut and wash. If I lived in Hawaii this would be my go-to place for haircuts. read more

Ava is the best!! You go in and they make you feel like a movie star.

I went in for a layered cut and styling and it looked amazing when they were done. I'd been looking for a new hair salon for a while now and I'm so happy I found Salon Ava! It's such a hidden gem--you wouldn't really know it's there since it's tucked away in a cute little boutique space right above a Palama supermarket. The staff were the sweetest and I really appreciated that they actually listened to what I wanted. It's hard to find a local hair salon that's actually talented and affordable in town. They really took their time to make sure my hair was on point before I left, which I loved. Honestly, I've been to those super expensive salons before that didn't do nearly as good a job. So glad I found this spot, I'll definitely be back! Thanks Ava! :) read more

OMG, my daughter got her first haircut at Salon Ava and she looks adorable! We wanted something that would match her fun personality and be easy to maintain. I didn't know what style I wanted for her, so I left it up to the stylist and she nailed it perfectly. It suits her face shape so well and has this bouncy, chic look that is just too cute!!!! As soon as it was done, I had to snap a few photos to send to the fam. Everyone loved it! It's such a 'big girl' look for her. Absolutely love how it turned out. The staff was also very sweet throughout the whole process, making it an enjoyable experience. If you're thinking about a bob or any haircut for your little one, do it here! Thank you Salon Ava!!! read more

Enjoyed the staff that worked on my hair today. Great customer service and experienced team.

I finally got around to cutting my hair after 5+ months. I've been coming to this same salon for a few years now, and I keep coming back because it's close to where I live and they always do a great job with my haircuts. They even threw in a free wash too with my cut. It came out to be ~40, which for most areas in town is pretty reasonable I think. Their dog is also super cute! My head feels so much lighter now and I left the shop feeling completely refreshed. I'm glad I finally stopped by for my long overdue haircut. read more

I needed roots colored and my haircut for an upcoming trip this week. I made a same day appointment online and it couldn't have been easier! Jonie was my stylist and she is wonderful! Having self colored for a long time, I had multiple colors running through my roots (along with the gray)! Jonie blended color that when put on my roots, brought everything together and it looks great! I have long curly hair and Jonie definitely brought my curls back to life without sacrificing the length. I am so happy to have found Jonie and Salon Ava! I highly recommend both! Thank you Jonie! read more

My friend's been a regular here for years so I thought I'd give it a try. Since we went in near closing time, the shop was actually super quiet and really calming.

The stylist was able to help solve this piece of hair that always sticks out when I get my haircut so I was happy about that! read more

I love Salon Ava! I have been coming here since roughly 2017/2018. She was recommended by my coworker. I have never changed stylists since then. She is a magician! She's able to see how your texture of your hair and how best to cut it. Today, I came for a retouch on my Japanese permanent straightening and a cut (will return for color retouch) and she also did a collagen treatment. I chopped off roughly 5-6 inches of hair and feel so much lighter. She's amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Just got another perfect cut and color from Joanie at Salon Ava. Joanie has been cutting my hair for over 20 years. I've gotten cuts from others but have always come back to her. Joanies expertise layering my hair gives it a fresh and natural look, and if I can't make it back to the salon right away, it grows out beautifully until I can return. I recommend her and Salon Ava to all my family and friends. read more

After trying several places in the island, this has been my personal favorite for Asian male cuts. Came for a men's wolf cut and right when I thought they were done, she continued to clean up and made sure everything was cut even. Still haven't found a place that care about the details as much as this place and I never regretted coming. The only thing I would add is it's hard to find as it's located on the second floor in a plaza with a Korean market. But I've been getting my cuts there and just knocking out my groceries all in one go. Super convenient. 10/10 would recommend read more

Omg this is such a hidden gem! I am in Hawaii for vacation and needed a good hair wash after doing a bunch of water activities. Washing my hair is such a hassle for me because I have weft extensions and thick/coarse hair. So glad I found this place! Everyone was so kind - I told them how I wanted my hair styled and to be careful of my extensions. They were very gentle when washing my hair and working around the extensions. It was such a relaxing experience! Joni then proceeded to blow dry and put my hair in rollers because I wanted a 90s style blowout. She claims she's never done a curly hair style with this technique, but she nailed it! She took her time, made sure the rollers were securely fastened, and put me under the heat to ensure my hair was CURLED curled. I usually go to Hawaii every year so this will be my go-to place going forward (: read more

They are very genuine, I didn't have time to pick up snacks they offered me some food. I took them up in it, they read my mind lol I will definitely go back for highlight in 2 weeks. Their pricing was also very reasonable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality hair services--you won't be disappointed. read more
