    We were visiting Hawaii and found this salon nearby. We are very pleased with the first haircut here--Momo did an amazing job! Highly recommend.

    Online booking system and a number you can text and get a rapid response during business hours. It's on the second floor, alittle hard to find, but well worth the effort. If its the first time, I recommend you arrive 15 mins early so that you can ensure you can find it. The staff are very professional and the hairstylist are talented. The NUMBER ONE thing is their head message. The experience is so incredible, no other salon will satisfy you again. Took my 13 year old son there and he didn't really want to get a haircut of course. The stylist sat down and had a real conversation with him, built trust, enjoyed the shampoo and head message, and now had a different option of what getting a haircut means.

    First time at this salon and very satisfied! I got my hair highlighted by Vanessa! It had been a hottttt minute since I last got it highlighted (like 9 months), so the roots were super grown out and gross. I always go for icy blonde hair and Vanessa delivered EXACTLY what I wanted. I will definitely be back :) also plus that parking was supes easy/was validated so only ended up being $2!!

    Toning session

    I came in with yellow uneven bleached blonde. Kathleen toned my hair to a pretty light brown, cooler and evened. I love it so much! She was very sweet and helpful, super skilled and I had so much fun talking to her!

    Hair after balayage

    Balayage: The confidence that this balayage gave me... I cannot thank Kelly enough for giving me such a transformation. My dad bleached my hair before at home and I lost half my hair. Since then, I have this trauma with bleaching my hair and swore that I'll never get my hair bleached again. Regarding hair cuts, 1 don't go to salons since whenever I'll go to a salon for a haircut. I always end un not liking it. Mostly because my hair gets cut too short. But with Kelly of Salon by Yoo doing my Balayage and hair cut, I'm now entrusting my hair to her until she can do hair. She's great with communicating throughout to make sure that I'm getting what I want with my hair, especially this is my first time getting a balayage. I'm an introvert, which makes me shy to go to salons and stuff, but Kelly makes me feel comfortable. I've been through quite a lot and with this new hair, it's 'new hair, new me'. Kelly is my hair girl until she's doing hair!!! Keratin Treatment: My hair's frizzy, puffy, and wavy. With the balayage, my hair getting bleached, of course it'll be more frizzy, puffy, and wavy. Me and kelly agreed on doing Keratin treatment since I can't do Straight Perm due to my hair being bleached. Before the Keratin treatment, I need to blow dry my hair and straighten it every time I go out, especially for work. Per the first picture, even though my hair's been blow dried and straightened, it's still wavy and puffy, especially on some areas. After the Keratin treatment, after drying my hair as seen on the other picture, I no longer need to straighten my hair since it's straight enough and not frizzy, puffy, or wavy. It's like that for a month, and after a month, it's kinda puffy but still not frizzy and wavy. It's such a huge help since I no longer need to spend so much time in styling my hair. Again, Kelly is the best!!!

    These girls are amazingly talented, and dedicated to their craft. I was so impressed with what they did and how well I was treated.

    Spooky season!

    The vibe of the salon is modern and chill, music is Kpop, which we love as a fam! Quality: we only see Miss Shannon (as my daughters refer to her). We''ve been clients of Miss Shannon since she was a student at a local hair school and have followed her since. Miss Shannon, thanks for being friendly, down-to-earth, so funny and always making my kids feel welcomed and comfortable.

    It took 4 hrs to complete this hair style. Love it

    I did not know how to take care my hair. My colleague told the to get hair product to keep the original look.

    I've gotten my hair digitally permed by Cla three times now and I am very happy with how it turns out. I have pin straight Asian hair and without a perm, it normally lays super flat on my head. Now that my kids are in school and I'm back to work outside the home, I don't have the time or energy to style my hair every morning. That's why I love getting my hair digitally permed every 5-6 months. It takes two hours but it's worth it because it saves me 15 mins every morning that I would have spent waiting for my curling iron to heat up and styling my hair. The digital perm body wave is only right for those of you that like the messy, undone, natural wave in the hair. It gives your hair some body and movement. It will not give you defined curls. My hair air dries bouncy with a slight bend as if I had it blown out. For special occasions I will use my Dyson air wrap on it for a slightly more defined curl but I'm happy with the way it looks air dried day to day. I highly recommend Cla. Believe or not 2 hours is pretty fast for this. Other stylists I've been to take 3 hours to do a digital perm. I believe she's one of the two best on the island at the digital perm. She watches out for the integrity of your hair too. A digital perm is only right for unbleached hair so if you have highlights, it's best to let it grow out first. Her salon is clean, modern, and comfortable.

    digital perm!

    first timer here, and i loved salon by yoo! i decided to get a digital perm with alyssa as a present for myself. she was super sweet and we hit it off well! i usually don't have the power in me to talk to my hairstylists but i felt really comfortable with alyssa which is such a bonus. im pleased to say i absolutely love my hair! boosted my confidence and came out exactly like i asked. thank you so much alyssa! salon was very clean and spacious! loved my time there and definitely will be coming back again :)

    I've been going to Dee for over 5 years now -- even back before he opened his own salon -- and…read morethere's a reason I've stayed this loyal. I usually go to him for both my haircuts and balayage, and every single time I leave loving how my hair turns out. His skills are truly top tier compared to other stylists on the island. I tried several hair stylists around Oahu before finding him, and none of them compared. Dee is incredibly talented, but what I appreciate most is his honesty. He'll always tell you what will actually look best for you rather than just doing something trendy that may not suit you. His salon is also absolutely adorable. The space has beautiful pink décor with gold accents that gives it such a warm, stylish vibe (definitely feels like his wife's aesthetic!). Both Dee and his wife are so sweet and welcoming, and their energy makes you feel like more than just a client -- it makes you want to keep coming back long-term. For anyone trying to find the salon: it's located on the 10th floor of the Ala Moana Center office building. The entrance is directly across from Genki Sushi inside the mall, which makes it really easy to locate once you know where to go. Most importantly, I trust Dee completely with my hair. That's why I don't go to any other hair artists or stylists on Oahu. He genuinely cares about his clients and about the quality of his work. He takes pride in his art and never wants you to leave disappointed. On top of that, he's a great conversationalist -- and I say that as someone who is naturally pretty introverted. Every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. Dee is also someone who carries a lot of wisdom, and seeing him always feels like a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair, Dee is it.

So I waited until the beginning of November to call to make an appointment. My bad. She was all booked up till the middle of the month and I wanted it cut before the weekend. So I scheduled my appointment with Miki. All the stylists seem to be from Japan. Both Misa and Miki were here less than a year when I saw them. But both spoke English so there was no communication problem. I liked the cuts that I got from both of them. Perhaps because it was the first they both cut my hair they wanted to verify what I wanted by showing me photos from their phone. Maybe they weren't confident enough on understanding my description? But I thought it was nice that they wanted to make sure we were both on the same page. There is parking. Enough for the shop and the two eateries that occupy the building.

I broke out with red burning rash around my neck for a couple of days and my hair never felt so hard and damaged. After washing my hair 3 days later, it was worse. My hair felt like wire and could not even put a comb or a brush through it. I called the shop to let them know about the damage and the stylist said "I've been doing this for 22 years and .... No apologies. apology should be first thing being said, instead he made it sound like it was my fault. I've had highlights and bleach in my hair and gotten straightened. Never damaged like this. If you were doing for 22 years, you should know better. I went back to the shop and there was a crazy customer who kept following me and harrassing me. Pointing her fingers at me. I asked her to get away from me many times, but she did not stop. The employees there asked her to sit down but she wouldn't listen, just kept harassing me. She would stand inches away from my face screaming "don't touch me" over and over. Pointing her fingers at me harassing me. She is lucky I didn't call the police and have her arrested for harassment. If you love your hair, don't go to Finca. They will damage your hair and blame you for it. Maybe that crazy lady will be there again to harass you. They will not apologize and make it your fault.
