I needed a haircut and balayage before my prom, and Julia was able to do exactly that! Prom is a big deal to me and so is having good hair on the daily, meaning I only want THE BEST for my hair!! The final results exceeded my expectations and I left there with the hugest smile on my face. I came in with a few reference photos and a general idea of what I wanted, and Julia was able to bring it to life. Her attention to details and overall care is really what made me know i was in good hands! She was excellent at explaining what she was going to do, confirming its what i liked, and even explaining care and maintenance tips! Her kind energy makes it so easy and fun to just talk to her too. I'd say this is definitely my go to place for my hair needs, and I would seriously recommend to anyone looking for high quality service!! read more

I had an appointment with Julia and she was great!! She asked me questions about what I like and don't like from past haircuts, which honestly no stylist has ever done before. She made sure I was happy every step of the way, and the haircut turned out exactly how I wanted. I really appreciate the care she puts into her work . Thank you Julia! Beyond stoked! read more

I had a wonderful experience getting my haircut with Daniela. She was professional, communicative, and made the whole appointment feel comfortable and relaxing. She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and checked in with me multiple times throughout the cut to make sure I was happy with the length and style. I was only looking for a trim and am usually nervous about hairdressers taking off too much but Daniela completely put me at ease and respected exactly what I asked for. She also has a warm personality and made the experience genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

This was my second time coming in to see Julia at the salon! She is so sweet and knowledgeable. I have wavy hair that I like to air dry and Julia knows exactly how to cut it so I can easily style my hair in a low maintenance way. I am in and out of the water and the sun a lot so she also gave me tips on how to best nourish and care for my hair. Go see Julia! She is so great. The salon is also super cute and is a comfortable place to be. read more

After a really traumatic salon experience where over 14 inches of my hair were cut off when I only asked for a trim and my color turned out chunky and brassy, I was honestly nervous to trust anyone with my hair again. From the very first message, Lauren at Darlwas responsive, empathetic, and incredibly kind. She truly listened to what happened and what I was hoping to achieve. When I arrived, she was welcoming, professional, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. She performed a full color correction and completely transformed my hair. My previous layers were choppy and uneven, about six inches apart, and she beautifully blended everything so it looked soft and seamless. She did a root melt, corrected the harsh highlights, gave me a gorgeous blowout, and styled my hair to perfection. And she did all of this while pregnant. Truly amazing. Hair is very important to me culturally and personally, and I was devastated after my first experience. When I left Lauren's chair, I felt beautiful again. Yes, hair grows back, but how you feel walking out of a salon matters. I work in an industry where I am constantly interacting with customers, and looking and feeling my best is important. Lauren gave that back to me. Thank you, Lauren, for your patience, your care, and your incredible talent. I am beyond grateful for you and the confidence you restored in me. Wishing you all the best on your motherhood journey. Your baby is so lucky to have such a strong, compassionate, and hardworking mama. read more

Had a cut and highlights done with Anjalee. She did a great job and knew exactly what I was hoping for without me having to show her photos. I will definitely be going back to her again. read more

Have patience with getting a hold of someone to schedule an appointment. They're busy for a reason - loyal, recurring customers and new ones who've heard great things about the salon! Janine was my stylist, and I'm so happy and impressed with her service - her 19 years at Halekulani made me feel confident that I was in good hands. She transformed my haircut from another salon that was not up to par. After showing her a few pictures, Janine delivered a haircut that was perfect for me. She wasn't presumptive about what I wanted or what she thought best - she was responsive to feedback and ensured the desired haircut. The salon is clean, lively, and has great products. This place has a great team, and I look forward to returning. read more

Leslie at the Sustainery ruined my hair. I paid $300 (which was discounted from $450...) for color that washed out an hour after I got home from my appointment.... $300 for color that washed out the same day. I was refused any sort of refund from her because "she needed to protect her time." What about the clients time? Or your service quality? I have worked in a salon before and this service is beyond unacceptable. I left the salon in tears because of how genuinely disappointed I was and how awful I felt I looked. I communicated all of this with her and she laughed in my face. I wanted to handle this as respectful and professional as possible but after being left on read multiple times and denied any sort of refund - despite countless stylists telling me that's the least she could do, I have decided to publicly post this so hopefully no one else has this experience. I added inspo pics that I showed her and my hair the same day.... It looks like I put Kool-Aid on my hair myself that's faded. All she offered was to tone my hair for free but that couldn't fix anything since all the color is gone. It's honestly just funny at this point. Don't go to her if you don't want to waste your money, I was happier with my hair before I entered the salon. Let me know if you think $450 is a fair price for the results of my hair. read more

Needed a haircut and they got me in the same day! The environment is clean and welcoming. I was set up with Daniela. Aside from her amazing personal story she has 3 decades of world wide experience. She actually knew what she was doing and talking about. She educated me on hair, hair products and hair care. Wow! The cut was also amazing, but the knowledge she shared was a first. Super sweet and genuine person. My only stylist now! Highly recommend her. read more

Love love the cut and color from Laura made my natural curls come alive! She framed my face and added more bounce to my curls. read more

Gotta love my hairstylist Lanee of ten years or more (?) when she first started out. She's totally amazing!! Tucked in the heart of Manoa Marketplace on the second floor in the back of Safeway, this great location is the best! Lol! I recommended her so much now I gotta find some time for me... My sister is a regular and so are my sons since when they were little boys. Her specialties are cut, color and BEAUTIFUL up dos! See pics! You can appreciate her wonderful shampoos that is so relaxing and refreshing. She recommended so many great products like my favorite shampoo and the best hair conditioner from Italy for my hair that now it's grown back healthy because of all of my health issues especially Sjogren's. I even donated my hair for cancer patients through her when my hair was long and healthy. The salon is clean and bright. It has a great location with ample parking and there's so much to say that's all good! read more

I just needed a good trim and some layers before my trip this week. Cari Ann, did a very fast & efficient doing with my hair. She asked me how short I wanted to cut it and she really did trim that amount, she knew I wanted to still keep it long. We also did layers to make my hair feel lighter since I have thicker hair. She only had cut my hair, but her customer service was so great that I'll be going back to refresh my balayage with her. Being in her salon chair was a 10/10 experience I recommend you go to her & get any of your hair style needs met with Cari Ann! The Sustainery is a beautiful & very clean Salon. All the other Stylist are friendly and make you feel very welcomed. As for furnishing, It has such a modern minimalistic esthetic which is so pleasing. Their salon is conveniently located in Mānoa Marketplace where they also have McDonalds, Safeway, Longs & USPS to name a few. There is always parking never a hassle to find since most people are in & out of the marketplace. If having a hard time finding their salon they are upstairs directly above Mānoa Sushi & Brug Bakery. The marketplace has an elevator accessible to you if needed. Which I may add, they just renovated the elevator to our surprise. read more

I have been following this stylist for years, from shop to shop and was so excited to when she announced that she was opening her own salon! The Sustainery hair Studio is very much a refelection of all the things that I love about my stylist. You are greated with a warm welcome and the option of tea or coffee while you wait. The cozy colors and pops of plantlife are the perfect backdrop for some 'me time'. It's a clean and comfortable place where you can feel confident that your hair is in professional hands. I've always come with these crazy color ideas and drastic changes and everytime she makes it happen. Even if she has to invent a color or two for me. :} (Check out the pics, her work speeks for its self.) I have never left disappointed, or even just okay with my hair, always in love! Thank you so much for our latest session! read more

I was one of those people who had a quarantine breakdown and somehow convinced myself it would be an amazing idea to chop my own hair really, really short. I felt like Britney circa 2007 so maybe it was a good thing that quarantine forced me to stay indoors. So you could say I've been needing a professional haircut appointment pretty urgently. Anywho, both my mom and I have been going to Jayna for YEARS now. And we have no reason to ever stray away. She absolutely knows what she's doing and I only trust her with my hair needs. Also, she knows exactly how to cut my thick asian hair to look effortlessly breezy! I just asked for a trim and some layers with face-framing pieces. She is precise and is great at what she does. Not to mention that she's so chill and super down to earth! The Sustainery itself is modern and beautifully decorated. Love the finishes and details that make me feel extra relaxed during my appointment. They are also taking all the extra precautions with COVID so I felt very safe during my appointment. They have all guests wait outside until they are ready to seat you. There are also clear, plexiglass separators between every chair to limit contact. Parking: Tons of parking in Manoa marketplace. The Sustainery is located near longs on the 2nd floor. read more

I don't know what took me so long to write this review (4 months!) but here I am finally doing it! I had been looking to get my hair balayaged for some time now and while browsing Yelp I came across Sustainery Hair Studio and felt like it was the perfect match! I had actually messaged them through Yelp and Anjalee got back to me within a few minutes! From here I was able to make an appointment for a few weeks in advance as she said they fill up pretty quickly on the weekends. She also asked me to send a photo of my hair as well as a photo that I'd like my hair to look like. I was able to get a quote as well which I really appreciated! They are nestled up on the second floor of Manoa shopping center so there is a ton of free parking. Upon arrival, Anjalee was super sweet and made me feel really comfortable. The vibe of the place is awesome, they were playing the perfect chill and cozy playlist (ie. Adele, Sam Smith and vintage Maroon 5!!!) and the interior is crisp, new and fun! I absolutely love the mural they have, the perfect place to take before and after pics! The whole session took about 4 hours and Anjalee was great about explaining each step. She also gave me tips on how to care for my new hair and what kind of products I should be using. Heck, I liked it so much I came back 3 months later for a toner refresh and to go a bit lighter for the summer. Another wonderful experience with Anjalee, this time I booked through her scheduling link which can be found in her instagram bio. I have found my new go to spot to get my hair cut and colored and I couldn't be happier! If you're thinking about getting your hair done here, definitely do it!!! read more

This was my first time to the salon and I'm in love with the way my hair turned out. My stylist got rid of all the orange/red tones and uneven die job. Now it has a nice ash brown color with natural looking highlights. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! read more

Salon interior was modern and clean. Stylists were engaged with their clients. Stylists also seem to work well together. When inside, one of them asked if I was waiting for Cari-Ann, which was odd since I didnt say anything yet,it's like they kinda knew when each other had a client. When waiting for my hair color to be soaked in enough, I was offered water or coffee and biscoff cookies. read more

I appreciate how attentive and knowledgeable Julia is during my hair transitions. Especially going from long locks to shorter hair. She covered all the bases from what to expect on how it will fall naturally and styling it. She brings a real zest for life energy while you're in her chair! Mahalo nui loa Julia! read more

Wow. I am so impressed with this hair studio. They are not just a hair studio but a hair studio who is conscious about sustainability. Such as in the hair products they use and how they give away the leftover hair they collected to a green company that upcycles the hair and makes use of it instead of throwing it away! (We need more of this). Furthermore, this studio is very attractive, minimalistic, modern, and has a comfortable atmosphere to relax in. And there is lots of parking! I am just loving my new hair that was done by Anjalee. She excelled in my expectations in hair color and is she is very friendly! Definitely, have to come back here because my experience was a 10/10! read more

A cute & trendy hair studio in Manoa Shopping Center; hubby & I received hair services from Julia Avila for a cut and color, and as usual with Julia it was an amazing experience with the best results we could've asked for. She takes the time to answer all of our questions and gives great recommendations and feedback. She truly understands what a customer is looking for and achieves expectations! She always delivers the best, and I always walk out feeling so awesome. Thank you Julia! read more

This review is long overdue! I was lucky to have found Anjalee a couple years ago and she has been doing my hair ever since...when she opened up Sustainery I was ecstatic for her!!! I have been to their beautiful studio twice so far and I have to say it is the most beautiful and bright salon on the island! The details are amazing! But most of all I absolutely love Anjalee! She is the best stylist I have ever had. With every appointment, it's as thoughtful as the first.... I truly appreciate her patience with my thick long hair, and love how the results always come out. I finally was able to take a pic the other day of my balayage in the sun! Thank you Anjalee for always helping me feel and look beautiful!! read more

I visited this salon three times after my stylist Ashley moved here from another salon. Great location with easy parking. Ashley is professional, personable, and does s great job on my color. I feel like she really listens to my concerns and makes sure that I am happy with the outcome. She is positive, pleasant, and makes my salon visits a treat. I am grateful to have found Ashley and encourage anyone looking forward a cut or color to check this place out! read more

I love getting my hair done by Anjalee. Not only is she sweet and personable, she delivers on a beautiful color and cut. The salon is beautiful to look at and it is so comfortable to be there. Can't beat their Manoa location. read more

Best hair salon on island! I had the pleasure of Anjalee giving me a haircut recently and she did an amazing job! Gave me exactly what I wanted and is a great hairstylist! Will highly recommend and come back to see her! read more

I am very particular about hair stylists and have been bouncing around for a couple of decades Since my stylist moved to the mainland trying to find "THE ONE" and hallelujah! I was blessed to have been introduced to Anjalee. I love her!!! She always brings my hair back into the land of the living and I always leave feeling refreshed and renewed. She is an amazing colorist and today she worked on not just me but also my daughter giving my hair a beautiful golden glow and my daughter a tickle of teal that peeks out from under her natural color. Anjalee is the most talented hair colorist/stylist I know and she never disappoints. She is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. She is also very conscientious to make sure that we were comfortable and relaxed while we were there. Her new salon is very inviting and has a very good vibe to it and her shampoo chair is actually super comfortable. I could've napped in it with my head still hanging in the bowl! I seriously cannot say enough about how good Anjalee really is. I can't stop myself from admiring this color she gave me! read more

After looking for a few weeks for a salon to dye my hair I stumbled across this hair salon on yelp. I called to book an appointment and got scheduled within a week of the time I called. Lakota did an absolutely outstanding job with my hair and I am in love with it! She spent 6 hours making sure it got as close to the reference photo that I had showed her as possible. Her care and time spent with me ensures that I will be a regular at this salon! read more

Came in here yesterday for my appointment with Cari and just wanted to note the energy in there was refreshing, the ambiance had me feeling like it was "my day" out of my not so glamorous mom week. Stylists there was very inviting! The design and decor had me in awe, I love this place inside and out. read more

Definitely recommend! Super easy to make an appointment, just request on yelp and Anjalee will get back to you quickly. She scheduled me with Lakota within the same week. Lakota is such a sweetheart! She takes her time and really matches the reference photo! I finally found someone who vibes very well with my personality so getting my haircut was an enjoyable experience! Will definitely return for her :) Also, it's in Manoa marketplace so there's always parking! Great location and the salon is so beautifully decorated ~ felt like a spa experience read more

I got my haircut at The Sustainery a couple of months ago and had a decent experience... the cut was OK, but nothing to write home about, especially for the price. My stylist was very nice so I decided to go back for another appointment and just mention a few changes I would like her to make. After texting my stylist several times over the last few weeks and making no progress, I decided to just call the salon and schedule with a different stylist. I was unfortunately unable to get an appointment anytime soon for a Saturday afternoon (I get it, hair stylists are busy post shutdown), so I asked if the rate would be the same for a cut without a style to see if I wanted to schedule for another day. I am an athlete, and it is such a waste for me to have my hair styled right before I go to the gym and sweat for several hours, which is why I prefer to schedule my haircuts for Saturday afternoons so that I can come post training. I had been texting with the salon and as soon as I asked this question, the person on the other end just stopped responding. I feel like this salon just does not value its customers, so I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Omg just had my hair done with Lakota and she is absolutely amazing. She is just as sweet as pie and gave me a full on Victoria's Secret style layered cut, which is exactly what I was looking for (and so hard to find). Studio is super cute/comfortable and my haircut was so reasonable. I will absolutely be coming back to see Lakota and would highly recommend. Mahalo read more

Best service and talented stylists here! Lakota revived my hair and took such good care of me. Highly recommend!
