Been coming here for a while, staff is so nice and welcoming. Jhere always makes me look like a supah star! My hair is always on point after having it done by Jhere. Very affordable, nice clean shop, with lots of parking. If you need your hair done this is the place. See you there read more

I had an appt with Joyce Acob of Shear Creation this morning at 11am. Unsure of the location I left early and arrived in the vicinity 20 minutes early but even with the help of Maps could not find the salon. At 10:45am I texted Joyce to let her know I could not find the location, and again at 10:55. I continued driving around. I found her number and tried calling her with no success. Completely frustrated, and somewhat angry I called again 30 minutes after my appt was supposed to start and this time I mentioned leaving a Yelp review. THIS GOT HER ATTENTION and she called me back immediately. There was no apology, no "come on in I'll see you now", NOTHING. This was the worst, lamest, lack of customer service ever. I would never, EVER recommend this place to anyone. It was a complete waste of my morning! read more

Sebastian is tuff with his shear work. i haven't got a haircut since december and my barber moved to las vegas. i wanted to try a new haircut. i was very vague about what i wanted but him knowing what's trendy made it easier because he gave me the haircut i was seeking, i just didn't know what to say to get it. we ended up doing a low taper on the sides and leaving the top long to style but Sebastian sheared it to where the top is versatile to be styled as a middle part flow or a 70/30 flow. grateful i came across him through researching online about barbers. most barbers in hawaii is only good with clippers but Sebastian is good with clippers and shears. definitely will be going back!¡ read more

I have been seeing Mrs.Peay for over 10 years now. I know she is the most sincere and caring stylist. She has placed extensions in my hair for over 10 years. I have also had color and cuts done with her and have always been pleased. She does take her time and makes sure it is right before you leave if not she will fix it to your liking. I have total trust and respect for her work. read more

Looking for more people who have had been damaged like me from Kim Peay at this establishment. I am looking to contact all individuals. Especially anyone who knows who certified Kim Peay with this company that produces this product. All my research and her admission was she didn't have the right chemicals because the beauty supply store was out. How on earth would I know. She convinced me to have a Japanese Silk Straightener was ruined after the first 5 hours of application. She advises me it was under processed to return for another session 5 hours by then my hair was transformed from brown to burnt red and then she recommended me to return for Olaplex and a special hair dye to return it to my color all I asked was to be made whole again. Which she has denied to do with another stylist and to incur the debt as she has not even returned my 300.00 paid on the first visit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Go to any other stylists but Kim Peay read more

I've always admired my co-worker's highlights and asked her where she got hers done at, and she said Shear Creation in Waipahu. She explained that it's a small salon near Tanioka's and the stylists there are so relaxed, they really make you feel like you belong there. I set up an appointment for that Friday and found a picture so the stylist could see what I wanted. I pulled into the parking lot and found a stall quite easily. I was welcomed with a hug from the stylist and she proceeded to ask me questions about what I wanted to do with my hair that day. I showed her the picture and she said it'd be easy to do and started on my hair immediately. I was getting highlights done. Lots of 'em. She told me if there's anything I didn't like about my hair, let her know so she can fix it herself. She said she'd rather fix an "issue" she did, than have someone else fix it because she doesnt like fixing other stylists' mistakes. When she was done, she instructed me to sit under the hair dryer where I waited.... and waited.... and waited..... so long to the point where I believe she forgot about me. She was talking up a storm with the other customers and employees and I even asked her if I should be sitting under the dryer for 45 minutes. She told me not to worry about it and continued to talk with the other employees. She didnt even check my hair! So ten minutes later, she brought me to the sink and washed out the bleach, then told me she "didn't like the color" so she'd have to do it again!!!! I was soooo irritated at this point that I just wanted to leave, but I didnt want to leave with hair that looked "weird"!! My highlights looked almost GRAY. I had already been there for two hours and really just wanted to go home. So she re-highlighted my hair and I sat under the dryer again for about 30 minutes. This time she was satisfied with my hair. I sat back in the chair and OOOOOOOH MY GOD. Why was there a huge, 2 inch thick blonde streak of a highlight running across the right side of my head?! And why couldnt I see any of the other highlights?! I know I seen all the foil in my hair! Where did they go?! And what the hell was that blonde streak doing there?! I was so upset and eager to leave that I just wrote her a check for the $80 I was charged and stormed out. I immediately called my bank and placed a "stop payment" on that check. My bank asked me for a reason to stop the payment, I replied, "Unsatisfied with service." Two stars for the salon. One star for the stylist. I've refrained from sharing her name because there's still hope for that little salon. But seriously, I've experienced MUCH better service than that. read more

This review is for Kim at the salon. Kim is a hair master! I saw her page on Facebook and she was recommended by several friends to me. I finally had to opportunity to go see her. I got a full highlight, trim and style. Kim was very meticulous and put in a lot of foils. The color came out perfect and she was able to eliminate a LOT of brassiness, which is amazing! My blonde looks fantastic. She also did a great job re-freshing my hair cut. It looks so healthy now! I will definitely be back to her and would recommend her to anyone. read more

*** KIM YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING!!!!*** Idk where to start. I'm so graciously thankful for you. I went to Stylique at the Schofield PX and got my hair chopped off and it was so uneven. I had extremely long hair. Im so glad I found Kim. She did an amazing job fixing my totally botched hair. She gave me my confidence back. I feel spunky and sassy with my new hairdo. Most of all I don't feel like I have to hide. I can go to work without wondering what people are thinking. I just found my hair stylists for the next 2 years read more

KIM PEAY is the Best! I've been going to her for seven years now. She is the only one who can get my blonde coloring right!! She is truly talented with hair and is very meticulous in her work. My hair is so much prettier and is a fraction of the cost I was paying at other posh salons. ***EXTENSIONS** Kim is an absolute expert. I have had at least 7-8 sets of extensions done by Kim over the years. Her bonds are painless, precise, and SO natural looking. Even my best friends had no idea I had hair extensions. Best of all, she is BY FAR the most reasonably priced. You will not be disappointed!!! To top it off, Kim is one the sweetest women you'll ever meet. She genuinely cares for her clients and makes you feel so at ease. The salon is not fancy, but the "laid back" environment feels comfortable & cozy. read more

After 2 years of looking for a good hair stylist on the island, I'm very happy to discover Kim Peay! I have medium/long light brown hair and Kim refreshed my very, very worn out balayage. She spent a full afternoon repairing the damage that had been done over the last couple years. She is very warm, personable, and is a true professional. Highly recommend! I'm not going to lie, I've paid a lot for service at fancy salons- shear creations is not fancy, but the quality is on par or exceeds high end salon stylists. And it's a plus to not fight for parking read more

This is the home of my favorite barber and trusted friend, Chan. My BF has been cutting his hair with Chan for many years and we truly consider him our friend. He is so meticulous and precise and has never given a bad cut. People come far and wide for his service and for good reason. He's very accommodating and such a friendly and wonderful person. When my son came along, his first cut was with Chan and has been with him since. We love Chan and have become great friends with him. Not being biased, I SINCERELY recommend him for a men's or boy's cut. He listens to what you want and executes it to the T! Ruth is the shop's owner and she is just a tornado of happiness in heels! She's bubbly and friendly and very cheery. I've also cut gotten my hair done with Mai. She's no longer wit the salon, but always did a fabulous dry-cut layering. Love this place! It's kinda like the Cheers Bar, "where everybody knows your name" and as long as Chan is here, we'll be coming here for years and years to come! read more

KIM MADE MY HAIR DREAMS COME TRUEEEE!!! So amazing, five stars is not enough!!!! She made my hair feel healthy and amazing even though I was going blonde which can be difficult, I can not recommend her enough and she is an amazing person too! She worked more than 8 hours on her feet to get my hair perfect because it was horrible when I came in She is everything and worth the drive to town which is saying a lot since I usually HATE driving to town!!! Good prices too!!! I can not say enough but a picture says at boys and words so let these pictures do the talking!!!! Kim is patient, kind and let me ramble about my life, and she was so amazing at making sure she was seeing my vision every step of the way and getting my hair exactly!!! How!!! I!!! Wanted!!! Not only the color but the cut too!! My hair appointment couldn't have gone better she is a perfectionist and it shows!! I am crying relief to find such an amazing stylist finally!!

Kim Peay and Freddie are the BEST!! Freddie cuts men's hair and my hubby refuses to go anywhere else. He's an artist!! Kim is so wonderful. She's easy to talk to and really gives you what you want!! Highly recommend! read more

Kim Peay is a ROCK STAR COLOR GENIUS! Love Kim Peay at Shear Creation! She's a true professional and is gifted at finding and creating the right color and cut - especially for someone like me who is really bad at trying to explain what I want. I was especially impressed at how thorough she was in checking her work before I left - her attention to detail stands out in an industry that's sometimes dominated by people doing less than perfect work. Her extensive experience and training clearly are reflected in every aspect of how she styles and colors - what a gem she is! read more

I have been going to the one who knows color and does it the best, Kim Peay has been the genius behind the great color and style and I have the healthiest hair thank you Kim! I know plenty about this business. My dad was a barber and my mom was a cosmetologist, had a large clientele, her own shop for many years! So I grew up around it! I know who is top rated and Kim Paey is TOP RATED! read more

I was looking for a new stylist closer to home, I'm so happy with my results from Kim Peay. She gave me exactly what I asked for and was easy to schedule with. My hair is perfect! read more

Let me start by saying I had never been to a hair salon in Hawaii until I went to this one. We are a military family so we are new to the island. I was extremely anxious when it came to finding a new stylist because I had only had my hair done by 1 person for many years, but Kim was seriously the best hair stylist. She was really supportive of me being a military spouse, and she is so nice and thoughtful and she really takes the time to make sure you are getting what you ask for. She is thorough and you can really tell she enjoys her career. I will definitely be back to get my hair done by her again. read more

She came recommended by many people so I wanted to give her a chance. I set up the appt over a couple days where she called me by the incorrect name 3 times via text. Went to the salon and after 3 hours, I left with gold streaks and highlights were done an inch from my roots I paid over $150 to have it look like that. Only good thing was the Olaplex treatment she recommended but I ended up having to go another salon to have it fixed. read more

This 5-star review is for Bong, not the rest of the salon. Bong has been my mother's go-to guy for color & cut for years now. Today he did my new year, post-divorce cut, & he did an AMAZING job. The other lady barber stylists seemed jealous of Bong; I heard them gossiping about his huge customer base & supposedly outrageous prices. The guy has skills & experience, & they're just buttsore that they simply aren't as good as him. While getting my hair done, I heard them swearing up a storm in the back complaining about everything under the sun. Bong kept his focus and concentration during my cut despite their filthy mouths. Bong & Kim SEEM to be the only PROFESSIONAL stylists here when it comes to customer service (based on what I could hear & see while I was there today [1/11/13]). As far as skills, I have no idea how well the other stylists cut/style, but I do know that when actresses from the Philippines are in town, Bong is their go-to guy for styling & cut. My bill came out to about $45, which is 3 times more than what I pay at N-Styles by Tony, but it was worth it. I get my hair cut once or twice a year because I am extremely nitpicky about who touches my head, so trust me on this one--see Bong if you want to look beautiful, fresh, young, & clean. read more

My boyfriend has been getting his haircut done by Manang Joyce since August 2013 and he always told me how nice and affordable the service is, especially since he cuts his hair EVERY MONTH. I was a bit hesitant to get my haircut on the island cuz I didn't know where to get it done but I love manang cuz she definitely understands what I mean when I want just a trim while others would cut half of my hair length off... the other hairstylists are super nice and it's pretty upbeat in the salon every time I go read more

Kim Peay Sucks! She fd up my wife's hair and I'm extremely pissed about it. She doesn't know wtf she is doing. She needs to retire or find a new profession. And not to mention our appointment was scheduled for 2pm and she wasn't ready till 4pm. How unprofessional is that. Is there a way to give negative 5 stars because that's really what she deserves. read more

I was referred to Kim Peay by the owner of Aloha Beauty Supply and I am SO happy he did. I called her asking for a trim as soon as possible (hoping for same day because of day to day transportation issues) and she told me she could get me in. I was long overdue for a hair cut and asked for 3-4 inches off and she did such a beautiful job, gave me layers to take off the weight and styled it before I left. My hair looked like it had new life! Even my husband loved it. Thank you Kim! read more

Just WOW! I never dreamed my hair could look this good. Kim at Shear Creation is an artist, she takes her time and explains everything that she is doing as she goes. Kim gives great advice on what services would suit you best. Her experience and expertise really show in the end result. I hope Kim never leaves the island as I have finally found the hair stylist I will use forever! She is a true professional and gave me back my confidence and the beauty I believed was long gone with my thinning hair..... If your in need of a new do I definitely recommend booking an appointment with KIM! read more

Kim Cutts my hair wonderfully, ask for her. She also does my wifes hair extensions too. She is the British accented Lady.

Kim Peay is a truly amazing hair stylist. She has extensive training and knowledge. She takes her career very seriously . Kim is a very kind, caring compassionate woman, who treats everyone as she would like to be treated. It's hard to believe that someone would write a very unpleasant review. Kim's number one priority are her clients. Shame on you Kaiolani M for slandering her business. You could be served with Defamation of character/slander civil case. Looking for a amazing sylist Kim Peay is the one! read more

As a guy with short hair, I like a neat hair cut. I get my hair cut here every month or so by a guy named Chan. I have been having Chan cut my hair for about two and a half years now. He always does a great job. He is meticulous with my hair cut and he's easy to talk with too. When I call to make my appointment, I call his cell phone directly. I was instructed to do this after the first time I called the business itself. Chan keeps a calendar with him and gives me his available times whenever I call him. He has rarely kept me waiting before appointments and on those occasions it was only a few minutes. I, on the other hand, missed an appointment once and was really late on another occasion and he was very forgiving. He often takes appointments on his Bluetooth headset while he is cutting my hair. He seems to be really busy and well organized. He also always has a clean and well dressed appearance. I pay him directly with cash. The atmosphere of the business is definitely unique. There is 70's and 80's salon artwork in different places and the people who work there seem to make themselves at home. The people are relaxed and they always make me feel welcome even though I'm a Haole from the mainland. I think the place smells like donuts. I don't know why, I never see any donuts. They usually have TV or music playing. One time they were watching a live performance from a 70's soul band. Anyway, I like this place and the people working there and I have had nothing but good experiences. I would highly recommend Chan for a man's haircut. I don't know if he cuts women's hair. I did see he was cutting a kids hair once. read more
