Wendy layered my daughter's hair and I love it! I highly recommend Salon Dana. I love the modern look of Salon Dana. Salon is clean, the stylists are very professional, and use high end products! We are definitely returning! read more

Wendy is my girl! She's so friendly and really listens to what you want. I always go to her for my haircuts, and I trust her to make me look good every time. She takes her time cutting your hair and is very meticulous, making sure everything is even and just the way you want it. You can tell she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about giving you a great haircut. Highly recommend Wendy! read more

I was so lucky to be able to book a last-minute appointment during this stormy weather! Wendy answered the phone and was kind enough to get me into the salon on a Sunday afternoon so last minute. She was so pleasant, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable! She did an amazing job with my haircut and really listened to what I wanted. I specifically asked her not to use thinning scissors because my hair tends to get unruly afterward, and she listened! She washed my hair, cut it to my desired length, and styled it beautifully. Thank you, Wendy, for such a wonderful experience! I'll definitely be back! read more

The shop seems new and is clean. Owner, Dana, instructed a worker (who washed my hair) in the techniques of cutting a pixie. Strange, the worker mentioned to me while washing hair she had graduated from beauty school. But because of instructions, the hair cutting process was slow. Usually it snip,snip,snip. But Dana would mention what angle and why she was doing it and how she was holding my hair etc. It's kinda like when you go to the market and get a trainee with an instructor the process is slow and you try to avoid that line if possible. Except the trainee was not cutting my hair but watching. But I will say this, the cut was wonderful. I washed my hair and it all falls into place with little or no help. But then I guess that is why this place is on the pricey side. read more

I pretty much had given up finding someone that could help me with my hair. It's dry frizzy and thinning. I pretty much had given up trying to find someone that could help me. I found Salon Dana on Yelp, I reluctantly made an appointment expecting it would be just like any other appointment I have had elsewhere, but it was not. I met with Dovelen, she was pleasant from the start, She listened to my thoughts about my hair and of course I had no idea of what to do with it. After a few questions she gave my positive feedback and ideas. She then started my service. In the end I completely loved my hair! I haven't felt like that in quite awhile. Thank you for being so positive and for making me feel special. read more

Booked an appt with Wendy and she was great! Super sweet and my hair turned out amazing! She cut it exactly how I wanted it. Another random thing, but I usually come home with a very sore neck (from the sink) and a sore scalp (from all the tugging) but can say this is the first time I have neither! The sink set up is amazing and so comfy. It's the little things :) I will definitely be back! read more

I got my hair cut from Wendy because I saw reviews about her helping you clarify exactly what style you wanted, and all those reviews were completely true!! throughout the whole process, she made sure that she was doing what i wanted, and it was super helpful. love this place!! read more

I was overdue for a trim so I decided to book a women's haircut at Salon Dana with Wendy Galanto. Salon Dana is located in a quiet residential area of Kapolei. Upon arriving, Wendy was very friendly and her head massages during my hair wash was 10/10! I asked to keep the length of my hair but add more layers and curtain bangs, and she did exactly what I wanted. Thank you Wendy for making me feel pretty just in time for the holidays! read more

She does a great job with Eyelashes if you want them full & long. Prices are reasonable. Mine were too long & Dana removed them for free after I wore them for a couple days, I wasnʻt comfortable. Dana gave me shorter DYI ones to try for free. I tipped & $40. anyway for great service. Will continue to use her services. read more

So easy to schedule an appointment! I had my first appointment with Dana Kim this past Friday for a haircut. Such a great salon! Clean & Cute & Dana is so nice! Her assistant Roxie gave me the best scalp massage EVER! I also have to mention that the chair where you get your hair shampooed & conditioned was extremely comfortable (the two other salons I've frequented I was always told to move up -/-). Dana really is a master stylist! I love my hair and I can wait to put in another review after my lightening service next month on my lucky day, Friday the 13th!!!! read more

I booked a full highlight for my first visit to this salon and I left extremely happy! My stylist was Dovelen--an absolute doll! Literally so sweet and kind throughout my entire appointment. Even as I worked on my laptop, she checked in to make sure I was comfortable. My hair typically takes longer to lift, yet Dovelen was super patient with the process. I was really impressed by how the highlights blended so well with my existing color! I would absolutely recommend Dovelen to anyone looking for beautiful results and a caring stylist!! read more

This was my first time here and Wendy was an awesome stylist. Thank you so much for answering all my questions about future hair coloring, and addressing my many concerns about my hair! Looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you! read more

This is a WAY overdue review, but before any more time passed, I wanted to leave my compliments for Wendy's expert hair cutting and styling services. I came to her back in June for a last-minute cut and style just before uncle's funeral. Life has become pretty hectic since then. However, Wendy was super friendly and actually dry-trimmed my hair first to give me a bit of shaping before washing. This was followed by washing, conditioning and a fabulous scalp massage! She then proceeded to finish off the shaping of my thick/frizzy hair with a great cut that's grown out well and followed this with a face flattering style. I wish I had time for a color with her, but cannot seem to carve out 3 hours for myself. I AM looking forward to my next cut and style with Wendy, however! Many mahalos again! read more

I had my hair done by Wendy (ig: @hairbywndy) and absolutely loved it! I'm glad to say that I found my permanent salon on the west side! I have been going to Wendy for a year now and she's helped me go through my blonde phase, ash brown phase, and I'll be going back to my roots in a few weeks. She responds in a timely manner in her instagram DMs, you can always check her availability on her story which makes scheduling with her super easy! Parking for the salon is in the back, they have 3 designated stalls in the second row. Make sure to look up at the pole for the signs!! The salon itself is very cozy. It's very clean and classy, they have a wide selection of products that are available for purchase. Wendy was super helpful with product advice for my hair goals. It's so nice that I'm able to message her hair questions via instagram and get her professional opinion since she's worked with my hair and knows what would work best. read more

Salon Dana - Ash Brown w/toner (from blonde) - Hair Salons Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

First off, I'm not normally someone who goes and gets their hair done on a whim. But after Covid I know my hair just looked like it needed some attention. That's when Salon Dana came in the picture. I had been messaging Wendy back and forth seeing that she's been taking in a lot of new clients on her personal journey with hair. She was friendly, knowledgeable and definitely someone with great communication. I got a balayage done in a lighter ashy tone, this being something I wouldn't do out of the blue; i took a risk. And honestly it was such a great experience for me because I normally jus go to my best friend who now lives out in Oregon. She normally would just trim my hair and tone it for me. I'm loving my hair and I was so happy that Wendy accommodated me and my needs! She might be an apprentice, but don't hesitate. Wendy is going places. read more

First off- staff was really friendly and kind. I usually don't leave reviews, but I felt this situation warranted one. Cut was blunt and not really well blended at the bottom. Asked for face framing and it was just ok. Stylist straightened my hair after the cut to style it and it (or the product) was burning so bad my throat was hurting from the fumes I was inhaling. I would recommend trying another place out cause I really am not happy with my hair. Went back in to try to see what they could do - so respect for trying to make it right, but I left even more disappointed and sad about my hair, so it wasnt the best experience overall. read more

Salon Dana, specifically Dana, is AMAZING! I have been going to this salon since she first opened up in Kapolei...not even sure how many years it's been, but I would never consider going to another salon. Dana is a "perfectionist" and very detailed in her work. I have short hair and the precision, care and meticulous manner in which Dana cuts my hair makes me feel like a precious piece of artwork that she is crafting. I also love the warmth and welcoming family atmosphere of the salon. I appreciate Dana's suggestions and tips for styling and fitting my hair style to my personality. I have seen many beautiful long hair styles in the salon as well. I just can't say enough wonderful things about Dana and this salon! Thank you for your care and excellence. read more

This was my first time at Salon Dana it exceeded my expectations. Genny cut my hair and did an amazing job. i wanted layers and face frame. She talked me through my haircut and made sure i was informed with how the hair cut would look. The end result was perfect. I will definitely be going back. read more

So glad there's a salon on the west side worth going to! Such a clean and very chic salon! I highly recommend Dana! She is the store's owner and is so friendly and cuts hair amazingly! There are designated stalls behind the building for parking, otherwise there's plenty of street parking if need be :) read more

Clean salon easy to find. Me and my friend both went for haircuts and got our hair styled there was an extra charge for her so much and that was weird most places it comes with the haircut but whatever I was treating ourselves other than that she did a good job. Would recommend for sure made and made appointment literally the day before. read more

Did my hair with Wendy and loved the results! She is so kind and friendly. She made me feel absolutely comfortable. I've been to many other salons but I can say for a fact Wendy gave me the best experience ever. I told her what I wanted and I'm in love with the results. I went from black virgin hair with orangey tips to blonde in one session!!! (Disclaimer: my hair was healthy and I never used box dye so it was possible for me to go that blonde in one session) read more

I called in the morning to see if there was any last minute appointments available for a haircut, I knew it may be a long shot cause it was for the same day. Unfortunately there was not. About 5 minutes later while I was calling other salons to see if any appointments were available, Salon Dana called me back advising there was a cancellation (: !!! I had an appointment with Phoebe, she sat me down asking what I was looking for and wanted to do, and gave me exactly what I wanted!! A little pricey but understandable for it being a higher end salon! I don't believe there's a parking lot, I had an appointment at 10:15 am but got parking right in the front!! read more

Got a haircut from Dovelen and she did great! Did everything I asked for and my hair felt so much softer, smoother, looked healthier when I was all done. Highly recommend! read more

Reasonably priced. Beautiful and clean salon. They did a great job with my hair and took the time to make it exactly what I wanted. Very friendly staff. read more

I had my haircut done by Wendy. I have been cutting my own hair for over 10 years now, I usually just cut it straight or follow one of those tiktok hacks to cut my hair. Going into a salon to cut my hair is probably one of the nicest self care I have done in a long time. Having someone else wash, cut and style your hair was wonderful!! Wendy has a very calming and comforting presence. I felt like I got a therapy session while I was getting my hair cut! Dana was also present during my haircut, you can tell she has been in this industry for a long time. I will definitely go back to Wendy and Dana for all my hair needs. I am even considering coloring/highlighting my hair after my haircut appointment! read more

I love you Dana and staff for always making my dreams come true...beauty ain't easy! Come through if you are looking to go lighter, they have top of the line hair treatment (kerastase) For more looks please check our profile During this epidemic, she advised everyone to wear face mask. Her staffs are hella clean lol beautiful salon located in Kapolei *Instagram.com/itschel12 *Instagram.com/salon_dana_kapolei read more

I messaged Wendy wanting to just get a hair cut. I haven't cut my hair since 2020 so I wasn't sure how I wanted to cut it. She replied back instantly and we were able to set up a date and time in, her date and time were very flexible since I do have 2 boys. She also was accommodating because I changed my mind on how I wanted to cut my hair many times The salon was very clean and the crew was very Nice! I felt so welcomed! I showed Wendy my inspo picture and she got to work! My hair feels so much more healthier and lighter. I Love it. I will definitely be coming to Wendy for future cuts! read more

A grown out and faded purple balayage (done by Bre, a former stylist at this salon) was no longer cutting it for me and I needed some big change. Upon following Malia's Instagram, I knew she was relatively new to the industry but photos of her work were impeccable. I booked a last minute appointment for Labor Day which was really accommodating! It's incredible how many times I have had balayage done but I have never gotten this light or ashy in one sitting. Though it was a long appointment (5.5 hours) it was very relaxing and the salon has a clean, modern ambience. Malia is very nice and soft spoken. I also got to purchase a bottle of blue shampoo to maintain my new hair. Thank you so much Malia for my new look!! I feel so much more bougie now! Lol. I would recommend her to anyone. Her work speaks for itself. read more

a minute agoNEW I went Salon Dana and booked a highlight and cut with Dana herself. Their website and photos impressed me, as well as her bio; however, I left extremely unhappy. My highlight did not at all turn out as I expected, even though I showed photos of what I had in mind. My haircut was even worst. The service costed me over $450, plus tip. Regardless, of not liking it, the service was still performed, which is why I left a tip. After a couple of days of really not liking the color, Dana was accommodating and was able to see me that weekend to tone the color down. I did not mention the haircut, as I could not afford to lose anymore length should she try to fix it. That second visit costed about a $100, plus tip. I did end up going to another salon to fix the uneven haircut. So in all, highlights and haircut, costed a total $650. read more

I had a wonderful hair wash, cut, and style from Phoebe! My hair was washed and conditioned with product that gave it a beautiful shine. I also had Phoebe layer my hair since it was too thick for this hot summer weather. Afterwards, she blew dry everything so it was nice and straight. I love how it turned out! The salon itself is very chic and clean. It is located in a cute neighborhood in Kapolei. There was a lot of street parking right outside the salon. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and talented. I will definitely recommend this salon to others! read more

I got my hair done with Wendy a few months ago and she did an incredible job! At the time, she mentioned she was still an apprentice but her keen eye to detail & comfortability demonstrated that she was ready to level up. As we chatted she also gave me tips on how to care for my hair after coloring. Thank you Wendy - I'll definitely come back! read more

Very Clean & beautiful Salon. Wendy was super polite and friendly, she knew exactly what to do with my hair and color when i wasn't sure. My hair turned out sooooo beautiful and I'm so happy i went to Wendy. Transformed my hair tremendously! I will be coming back read more

Salon Dana - Balayage Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I decided it was time to finally go lighter for the summer. I scheduled an appointment with Wendy. So glad I did. She's super friendly and sweet. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. But most importantly, she was able to lift my virgin black hair to an ashy blonde/silver color, exactly how I wanted it. Will definitely be back. Thanks Wendy! read more

I went to the salon for a Balayage and a haircut with Dovelen. The color came out ok, but the haircut was horrible. I asked for layers. She did not layer my sides, and the back of the hair was not blended and uneven. I called the salon to see if someone could fix my haircut, and the lady said she would call me back after she talked to Dana. I have not heard anything from them. It has been two days. Now I have to go and pay for someone else to fix my haircut since it seems that the salon does not want to fix the problem with my hair that Dovelen caused. I would suggest not getting your haircut with Dovelen and picking another stylist. read more

This was my first time coloring my hair at a salon and the experience was even better than expected! I usually dislike going to salons and can sometimes feel uncomfortable in the chair. However, my hairstylist Wendy was very kind and accommodating. Always made sure I was okay throughout the whole process. I asked for an ash brown balayage and I'm so happy with the results! Wendy is just starting her career in hair but her work looks like it came from someone with years of experience! I highly recommend checking them out! read more

I'm a big fan of word of mouth, so when a friend recommended Salon Dana, I figured why not give it a try? Booking: I used their website, which was super simple to navigate. I really liked that the site showed a rough estimate of how long the appointment would be. Was pretty accurate, too. Maybe went about 10 minutes over. Parking: I got lucky and parked right in front of the salon, but I could see it being a problem on busy days. Check-in: I was greeted right away and encouraged to sanitize my hands, did temperature check and filled out Covid survey. Super easy and felt welcome. Service: Genny was my stylist and she definitely took care. I told her what I wanted, my lifestyle and hair needs/concerns and then she gave suggestions and confirmed a haircut plan. I had signed up for deep conditioning and let me tell you, the scalp massage was on point--I almost fell asleep. Genny was personable and I enjoyed our conversation during the haircut very much. The final look: I came in with long dead-ended hair that reached my butt and walked out with fresh, bouncy layers that ended at my chest. I absolutely loved how it turned out and felt like a whole new woman. Overall, very satisfied with Salon Dana and I look forward to returning for my next cut. read more

I seen a post on IG for Salon Dana. Loved their work! I notice the hairstyle I wanted to achieve, so I made an appointment. I hadn't done my hair since March so I knew a lot work had to be done. I arrive a few minutes early, I was greeted and was asked to wait outside, no problem. Moments later I was called me in... my stylist was Dana the owner, friendly. I showed her the picture of what I wanted to achieve. She touched my hair said it needed a lot work, quoted me $450.00. I think it was for haircut, root touch up and full hair foil...I was shocked with the price but, told her if she could make my hair look like the picture I'd pay that price. I didn't want to spend that amount of money and lt looked like nothing had happen...so she looked it over again and offered to do root touch up, tone my existing hair color, cut and style for $250 and to come back in 7 weeks and then I could do the hair style I desired. She didn't feel comfortable lightening my hair, it was damaged? I told her "will my hair look lighter, will you see a difference, it won't look the same?" She said "yes and it won't look the same, it will be toned and after couple washes it will lighten a little." So she cut off the damaged areas and started with the root touch up with her assistant. It took about 15-20 min. I waited for dye to process my hair.. After awhile, assistant came back rinsed hair, while consulting with Dana every step of the way. While Dana started with another customer. Finally time to cut hair it's a lot shorter than I anticipated but, my fault for not speaking up. She asked how I wear my hair, I said ponytail so I guess it didn't matter what end style looked like . She did a blow out and was done. I was really hoping for a mommy makeover...I knew the color I wanted was out, hoping the cut would be similar but instead I got Lois from Family guy. It's a nice cut just not what I wanted, no beach waves either. I wish I would have said something but I'm not one to make a fuss, I just paid my bill and smiled. Salon was nice, friendly staff, price was expected, just not the style I was looking for... kids and husband didn't notice a difference, total bummer. read more

Bre did a wonderful job on my hair. I came in a mess. Being a busy Mom, I rarely have time to do my hair, so we decided on a low maintenance curly cut so I could wear my hair natural and an overall color to hide my grey. The results were beautiful. I have had so many compliments on my hair color since I had it done. Everyone says it looks perfect with my complexion and makes my eyes pop. I'm almost 40 and I have never had long term happiness with my hair until Bre helped me find the perfect cut and color for my lifestyle. I'm so happy I found a stylist who listens. read more

Salon Dana - Hair Salons Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I was in desperate need for a haircut. The night before my appointment I was looking on Yelp for nearby salons with openings for the next day. I was looking at different Supercut locations but got spooked by the reviews and horror stories. So I widened my search and found Salon Dana. It was so easy to navigate on their website and I was able to make an appointment ONLINE for the next day. You can pick your stylist, service and it'll give you available times. I didn't have anyone in mind as it was my first time but I took whoever was available for tomorrow. When I arrived to my appointment, I was immediately greeted and asked to hand sanitize. Then I filled out a COVID survey. The salon was very clean and appealing. It's also located in a great neighborhood. My stylist was Genny and she was so SWEET and funny. She really made me feel comfortable and was making small talk with me which turned into conversations. She kept insisting that I relax and that I could nap if I wanted. However, I was just so interested in watching her cut and style my hair. 100% recommend Genny. There were other stylists in the salon and I do believe that they are just as great and welcoming. I'm definitely going to be back again!!! Thank you Salon Dana! read more

After reading the 5 star reviews I decided to give this salon a try. I booked my appt at 9am, but was running a little late so I gave them a courtesy call and said I'll be 10 min late, whoever answered the phone said, "well can you be here in few min?" I said "no, that is the reason I'm calling and telling you I'll be there in 10 min", she's like "ok" like whatever. Then when I got in, I booked whoever was available which was a mistake, and I felt rushed. I have very long hair and asked to cut few inches off and create more layers. However, because she rushed she didn't do much. It was like a 30 min haircut. I came home and my husband said he didn't notice anything. It was a wasteful and expensive over $100 haircut plus tip that didn't make a big difference. I hesitated to write this review because I don't like to bash on local business but I couldn't help feeling disappointed and had to look for another hair salon and spend more money to fix what was not done. read more
