By far my favorite barbershop here on the island. Service is quick, friendly, and affordable. I've been going here around 5 years now and I've yet to have a bad haircut. read more

Been going here for years, even when it was in Ala moana as Thom's Barbershop. I always come in to see Sam Ko. The place is great, easy to find and lots of parking. Unfortunately Sam moved to a new location, if you are looking for him, I attached a photo you can reach him at. read more

Cut my son's hair so well, better than any place back home. They know Asian hair and they know great hair for a teen. I wish they were back were we lived read more

Good value and location but sad to find out Sam moved, but we found him at Beaut'e Fair just up the street on King and Kaheka.

Landed in Honolulu in dire need of a haircut. After some research I chose this place because it was within walking distance of my hotel. Was greeted by a very pleasant lady. She sat me immediately and asked what I wanted. Cut my hair as requested. I was in and out in 15mins and happy with the final product. read more

Sam's the man. I've gone to him for over 25 years, back when these guys were Thom's on the backside of Ala Moana, with the giant Lego Star Wars builds and the chain smoking, fortune telling aunty who legit gave the me best job advice ever. Sam also chain smokes, so if that bothers you, he's not for you. If you can deal with it then you're in for a good cut. He has an amazing memory; can recall conversations out of thin air from decades before, and super friendly, hard worker. I respect the hustle. read more

Brought my 9 year old boy to have a hair cut. Their service was really fast! (After reading other's reviews , I believe thats Tom cut my son's hair). He took his time to cut his hair, listened to what and how I like, very friendly gentleman. This place is a gem. $20+tips, very reasonable. Thank you read more

The Barbers - Thumbs up - Barbers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

walked in and asked if walk ins were available they all stayed sat on their phones and one answered "what do you want" in a aggressive tone as if he resented me for walking into his o "great" establishment then they shunned me out saying they could not cut hair because someone was coming at 4:30 which is understandable but there were 3 barbers present. Is only one of you permitted to cut hair? Be kinder to new comers and maybe your shop won't be so empty -5/10 read more

The Barbers barbershop is a must visit place when visiting Honolulu. They are friendly, they do great work and the parking is the easiest in the city. My son who is difficult with haircuts felt right at home and was made comfortable. Their haircut skills are amazing. They did both my son's hair and mine in record time and were very detailed. This place makes me want to move here just for the service. Thank you the wife and husband that work there and took care of us. I'm sad I don't get their names. Please visit this place if you are looking for a great haircut and looking for genuine barbers. read more

Been going here for years. Tom does an amazing job, very attention to detail and cuts just like how you ask!Highly recommend going to Tom or his wife. Very affordable. read more

My husband chose to get a hair cut and have his 2 week old beard shaved off completely. Called the shop that morning and got an appointment for that afternoon. Decided to go here rather than his other regular barber. The result - my husband said it was the best hair cut and shave he'd receive. I believe it was Tom that did the service. He took his time, asked my husband how he wanted the top and sideburns trimmed. I watched and saw that he used more than one type of shaver to accomplish the finished work around the head and on the beard. The parking lot is next to the shop and easy to get to. I thought the stalls were good size. I saw that one reviewer thought the stalls were small but we had an ordinary Honda sedan. read more

Fantastic cut, awesome service, and very affordable. Walked in right before closing and thankfully Tom was cool about it because I've got a wedding to go to in a few days. Showed him a picture of what I wanted and Tom took the time to really check it out and discuss my options. Incredible attention to detail and definitely the spot to go to. Tom and Tammy are also super nice so that's always a huge plus. read more

This location has Quality and service is affordable highly recommend will be coming back thanks

Formerly Thom's Barber Shop in Ala Moana their new location, simply called The Barbers, is across from the mall on Kona st. It's in the same building as Taste Tea, Sweet Creams, and Manichi Ramen. The new place is quite a bit smaller and has a few less chairs (I think I counted 8) but many of the same barbers are still there and with a few new ones as well. I'm glad Joanne is still there, she's in the first chair on the right as you walk in. They've been open from February 1st, 2020 and like with any new place, they're still doing some organizing but the place seems pretty well laid out already. I'm not sure yet if their hours will be different but they did open at 8am this morning (Monday) which is great for me since I can stop by there to get a haircut after I get out of work in the mornings. One thing they did mention was the a/c for the building needed to be worked on so it doesn't get as cool as it should be. Until it does, I'd recommend going for a haircut in the morning hours before it gets too warm in the later afternoons. The shop is in the two story yellow building and the parking lot entrance is on Kona st between Ke'eaumoku and Kona Iki. There's a good amount of parking so that shouldn't be a problem. read more

If you were wondering what happened to Thom's Barber Shop in Ala Moana Shopping Center (AMSC), look no further as they moved across the street on the mountain side in the same building that has places like Manichi Ramen, and Sweet Creams (rolled ice cream). If you have been to the original location, you would of seen tons of original Star Wars Lego's. People used to come to the shop just to take pictures of all the Legos and the different displays they made. Unfortunately due to space, there isn't any of the Star Wars Legos which is kind of a bummer as it brought back memories of the ones I use to have. They have the same phone number when they were at AMSC so it makes it convenient to call and make an appointment as I already have the number programed in my phone. The thing I don't like about this location is the parking lot can get packed at peak times and the stalls are small, so I worry about getting a door ding. I have my secret spot that I like to park at and no I'm not saying where it is. In fact I should put up a sign, private parking for me. haha Due to Covid, seating to wait is outside but it is in the shade so it's not so bad. They have air-conditioning so you can cool off once inside. read more

Came in on the last minute was able to get a haircut appointment. Will be coming back for sure.

The prices here went up quite a bit.... but honestly, every single place has had to raise prices in this post pandemic world. I still bring my son here because the service is very fast and efficient, there is hardly ever a wait time, and he always gets a great hair cut. I think his most recent cut was 23.00, which is still very reasonable. There's a small parking lot but we always manage to find parking. Appointments are no necessary and the convenience and service are well worth the price. read more

Great place to stop in and get a men's haircut. I was in town on military business and needed a haircut stat. The service was fast, friendly, and they did a superb job. If you need a haircut at a reasonable price and looking for a place within walking distance from the Ala Moena center I recommend checking this place out first read more

Tammy cuts my hair and she does amazing with it! She carefully listens to your needs and will do exactly what you want. She's talented, sweet and friendly. Same goes to the rest of the barbers -- they're all amazing! But most definitely THANK YOU TAMMY! read more

Avoid the "barber" in the back of the room at all costs! I told her #2 on the sides and back but leave at least 2" on the top and front. She nodded like she understood. She ended up cutting EVERYTHING 1/4"! The thing is I didn't walk in with that style haircut!! Most guys want the same style they walk in with except shorter!!! What she did wasn't even close!!!! Even though English is obviously not her first language, I don't think that was the problem. I don't think she knows how to cut hair any other way. I would bet that the other one star review was for the same barber. I got a haircut at this location before from another barber and it was fine. I will be going back but it won't be a problem for me if asked to say, "Any barber except HER" (pointing to the only chair against the back wall). Needless to say, I am VERY upset. read more

The Barbers - Don't go to the "barber" in this chair! - Barbers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Been a customer since 1996 from when they were in Ala Moana as Thoms. Yes, there may have been some barbers you may or may not always like, but that's what it would be like if you were trying to find a new barber. They recently changed their hours to closed on Sunday and Monday. And even more recently, they have 2 new (soon to be 3) barbers, and they all have experience and are very pleasant. Sam is still there and gives quick mens cuts with a smile. I also noticed that they have a new POS system and may be taking credit cards now. In all a good and affordable place to get a quick cut. read more

Quick and easy place to get a man's haircut at a reasonable price. Quan Tran is the barber I prefer and has cut my hair for years. He does a great job and is very personable. This is a new location opened by the owner of Thom's Barbershop that used to be in Ala Moana Center. Although no longer in the mall, they are on a side street connected to the mall and very easy to get to. Even if you plan on just shopping in the mall, all you need to do is cross Kona street and bam, you are there. Not much has changed, just the location. Waits are not long if there is a line, but you can always make an appointment if you have a preferred barber. The location is a brighter shop with windows that allow lots of natural light unlike the old location that was next to the parking garage. Forget those chain barbers, you will get a better cut here at a good price. Those new trendy barbershops are way to expensive. Unless you are going for some sort of a fashion model look, keep it real and get cut here. read more

Love this place! The old Thom's from Ala Mo, being seeing Sam for years. Always friendly and fast, never had a complaint or issue with his hair cuts. Nothing fancy just a good barber. read more

Went to have a haircut yesterday, there were 6 barbers at the location. I noticed there was no sign at entrance that wearing a mask is a must. When I walked in, 2 out of 6 barbers are not cutting hair, and both of the are NOT wearing mask. There is one customer having his haircut, and he was not wearing mask. This place is violating the city order for this type of establishment to have the staff to wear mask. WILL NOT GO HERE AGAIN. read more

Tom has cut my hair for years. He does a great job and is very personable. His wife Tammy has cut my wife's hair for years with excellent results. read more

Been going to this establishment since it was Thom's Barber in AMSC. They moved across the street which is still convenient with lots of free parking in front. You now have to make appointments due to Covid, but you still ge the same great service and price without the extra charges some places are charging of PPE, which is so said. If you want to support give a larger tip to the stylist who services you. read more

"The Barbers" located on Kona Street in a Strip Mall Mauka of the ground floor parking at Alamoana Shopping Center. "The Barbers" used to be known as "Thoms" Barber shop at Alamoana Ctr but they just relocated, with a new name. You will recognize all the same friendly faces at "The Barbers" that I remembered when I used to see them when they were "Thoms" . You get a great haircut, at a fair price considering what is being charged nowadays. What I really appreciate is their genuine friendliness and their professionalism, and a great haircut that I get each and every time I visit them. I highly recommend them... read more

Been having my haircut here for the last 12 years. Followed them through their move from ala Moana center. Today I found out that their hours have changed. They're now closed Sunday and Monday. A poor working man like me only has Sunday off. 4 stars instead of 5 because I have to look for a new barber that's opened on Sundays now. read more

The new Thom's... lots of parking, the wait is never long! I'm definitely going to return. The place is always clean, and well maintained. A must for all. Kid friendly read more

Been with Sam for so many years. He's the best. Quick but thorough. Very reasonable. I usually just drop in but sometimes it's better if you call for appointment. read more

Good seeing Joann again! Always reliable and great cut. This location is alot better than the original Thom's Barbershop at Ala Moana. More parking!! Thank you Joann! See you in a couple of weeks. read more

I worked at Ala Moana mall for 7 years and got my hair cut conveniently at Thom's. Even though I work elsewhere now, I still make it out every 4-6 weeks to get my hair cut there. Sad that they had to move. Ala Moana is going "upscale" and chasing out all the old local shops. It's a new location but the same friendly familiar faces and consistent haircut! The place is easy to find. If you are street level mauka outside of Aldo / Tricked-out wireless, look across Kona street and you can see the bright yellow trimmed building. I hope you, like me, keep on supporting this fine long-time local favorite. read more

The Barbers - Easy to find. Park at the mall, walk across the street. If you don't...mind jay-walking, gets you there faster lol! - Barbers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

great haircuts!! Nice and personal attention by the barbers. They used to be called Thom's Barbershop in ala moana but now they're called the barbers. Good location too. If the lot is crowded, just park at the mall nearby. $18.xx without tip, very cheap! read more

I've been here twice now and always get in quickly. The staff are very friendly and both of my cuts were exactly what I wanted. Parking can be a little tricky but a spot generally opens up quickly if, by chance, the lot is full. read more

The place has gone downhill. I've been a customer of Thoms for almost 10 years. I'll never go back. All the good barbers in this shop are gone. Stay away from the lady that's on the back wall if you decide to come here. read more

Place is great! Yoon the barber in the back is awesome. She adapted to my "curvy" head nicely. My wife found it too difficult to cut my hair, but Yoon did an excellent job. For $15, it's well worth the money. All the ladies seem nice. All of them pretty much have accents. Welcome to the melting pot of Oahu. read more

Sam, my barber, is the best! Incredibly friendly and efficiently cuts your hair to your liking every time. And very affordable compared to other salons. Highly recommend!!! read more

It is always great to have a haircut, especially after the stay home order. I think the State of Hawaii should also issue "Spa Card/ Salon Debit Card" on top of the restaurant debit card. This will alleviate the stress level that this pandemic brought to most of us. Look for Michelle when you go to this barber shop. She is one of the best. read more
