I was greeted as soon as I walked in and didn't have to wait long before being called to the chair. Kehau applied the hair color gently and meticulously. Then Manny took over to wash, cut, and style my hair. I was extremely satisfied with the result. read more

Made an appointment and arrived promptly on time . He wasn't there so one of the gals called him . He never answered and no one knew where he was , so after 20 min of wasting my time I left . read more

My first visit to Studio 58 in downtown Hilo was great. My stylist was Manny and I had a shampoo, haircut and blow out/curl. I'm a kupuna with very thin hair past my shoulders. He listened carefully to what I wanted. I have been trying to find a good salon in Hilo for a while now since Kathy Romero, who did my hair since 1990, retired. I've been getting my hair done when I travel to Honolulu and that's not as often as my hair needs attention. Now I can trust in Studio 58 as my place and Manny as my stylist. Prices are very reasonable. Check them out!! I believe you will be very happy you did. read more

Aloha ! The location of this hair salon is great ! I needed a super shorter last minute hair cut because I'm on a work vacation. I walked in and met Bex. She gave me the perfect short pixie hair cut with all the exact specifications and details I requested . She was very patient and really took her time with me. I totally recommend this shop there's lots of aloha, kindness, and quality hair artistry to be found here ! I'm satisfied with my cute texturized Sassy cut even in this humidity it's holding up great read more

Studio 58 - Next day photo after I washed it and styled it on my own. - Hair Salons Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

LOVE LOVE LOVE studio 58!! The wash, cut, and blowout, didn't feel rushed he took his time and took such great care of my hair!! I walked out of the salon feeling like a brand new women!! read more

Dirty station and didn't get the cut I wanted . I wanted something unique but ended up looking like every other woman in town

I was able to get in super last minute for a cut and Manuel was AMAZING. Ive always had super long hair and just done trims myself because of fear it would be hacked off but after 10+ years with no real styling I was looking like cousin it. Manuel trimmed my dead ends and layered/styled my hair beautifully. He worked with me to figure out what cut would work and look the best for my hair and I am so so so happy with the results. I will definitely be returning! read more

It's been about a year since I got my hair even trimmed and it was pretty out of control and in need of serious TLC. I called yesterday just to ask if they had any last minute appointments and they were able to get me at noon. I was a few minutes early because I wasn't sure where I was going. I ended up having to wait a few extra minutes, which I was fine with since I was so excited they were able to fit me in same day and I really needed it. I showed some pictures on my phone to Manny when he asked what I wanted, and then just asked him to do whatever he wanted with my hair. He washed, cut, and styled it and I LOVE it! My old hair stylist moved to kona (hence why I put it off for so long) but I'll definitely be coming back. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the experience. I almost felt like I was at a high-end salon in NYC, not downtown Hilo! read more

I haven't had a professional haircut in over a year. But I was pleased with the hair massage & layered cut I received. When he was styling my hair he offered me either curly or straight. I went with curly, but realized I didn't like it when he was more than halfway thru. He kindly was like well I'll just change it. He is to the point & wants the customer happy. He called it a "mommy makeover." Manuel the owner cut my hair, I was kinda scared to have him do it. Due to negative reviews about him. However, he was awesome! His personality is spunky. He is blunt, but funny & does not force conversation. I hate feeling like we need to chat just because you're cutting my hair. read more

I have long hair and usually only get a trim once or twice a year. I took a risk and had my hair layered, and I love it! They did a great job. This is where I'll go from now on! read more

Me and my grandma came to visit and was recommended highly & when I made an appointment with Manny Olivera he seemed kind. when we went to the salon we were waiting outside for 30 min. I called and was sent to voicemail, texted and no response and even now 7 hrs later, no response, no apology nothing. But instead I ended up going to Macy's and had my hair done fantastic, around kind people who took me last minute. read more

Very poor customer service!!! The gentleman who answered the phone had the nerve to call me stupid through a text message cause I wasn't sure what I wanted done with my hair. Sorry I don't know the names of all the fucking hair styles. I get my hair done like once every 3 years. Never going to go to this place for anything. read more

I've been to this salon twice recently. While I adored my stylist, I was very disappointed with the lack of COVID precautions. The first time I was in everything was great, masks were worn by everyone, and I felt safe enough to come back with my 81 year old mother. However, when I did return with my mother, one of the stylists was not wearing a mask, nor was the woman he was working on. His station was right as you walk in the door so everyone had to pass within 6 feet of them when entering or exiting. I realize there are some people who cannot wear masks for health reasons but when you are working so closely with someone, literally leaning over them, you should absolutely have some type of face covering on. As I said, I loved my stylist, I loved what she did with my hair, but will probably not go back for this reason. read more

Manny from Studio 58 has been my Hair Doctor for at least twenty years now. Manny is an expert in determining what color and style would flatter your face shape and skin tone, which is why I submit to him. I tell him what I want to look like, and he delivers every, single time. The appointment is within the week from my call. His fees are more than reasonable for his masterpieces. It never fails that when I leave the salon, people will stop and take the time to compliment me. I LOVE the attention. To top it all off, Manny is a brutally honest person that carries meaningful conversation while he works his magic. I never feel like he's blowing smoke to make a buck, I don't feel like I'm just a client, I feel like we are really good friends. Trust me, you WANT to be friends with a Hollywood Hair Doctor, because they are few and far between! read more

Loved the outcome of my hair getting permanently straightened for the first time. I would recommend and go back again

Island Chic. Manual was fabulous. I felt like a million bucks after leaving Studio 58. He did justice to my massive mane after it sailed across the Pacific Ocean exposed to the brutal sun - it was dry, brittle with nasty grow out. He cut it, colored it, and added highlights. Pricing was average, meaning there wasn't an island premium. Located in the heart of Hilo, Manual's salon is Island Chic, palm plants, high ceilings, hardwoods and clean. I felt right at home coming from the mainland. Studio 58 and Manuel are my new salon and stylist in Hilo. Thank you Manual! read more

René Russo at Studio 58 is wonderful. She has studied in LA and all over the west coast and NY. Above all, I love the results produced by her talent and professional, artistic touch. You can reach her at 808 683 2201. read more

Not this place..first timers will get a 50/50 polite scale. Second timers get neglect and disrespect and end up with hair color on their shirt, color line down their neck, and a half interested clinician engrossed with gossip and friends while you are a burden to his empty salon. read more

I've been going to Studio 58 for seven years and do not have one complaint. In fact, I have never had better looking hair. Manuel, the owner, is the best stylist I have found in more than 40 years of salon experiences. He listens to my concerns and makes fantastic suggestions. I'm a major fan of his and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. read more

Manuel is awesome and did a great job on my hair! The last review is obviously another business owner trying to smear his good name! I will now be a regular! read more

Manny the owner of this salon does the best hair anywhere in Hawaii. I was so happy to find him as I used to agonize over getting my hair done every month. He consistently does a better job each time I get my hair done. Cut, color, hi lights ombré, styling for a special event, eyebrows, makeup. There is nothing he can't do with perfection. Love him!!!!! He does all members of the family with the same professional attitude, men, woman, children. A true artist of his trade. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment today. I have been loyal to him for years and my hair is beautiful!!!! read more
