    Asked for a mid fade. I got the mid fade but she cut about 2 inches of the top as-well. The top is uneven as well.

    I saw this place in my neighborhood, and stopped by yesterday Jan. 3rd, '25, being that nobody…read moreanswers the phone, and no vmail msg. Hmm, strange, but come to find out the sign on door stated that will be closed in celebration of welcoming in the new year and will be returning Jan. 4th. Why no vmail msg stating, one can only wonder? None-the-less, I needed to cut my hair badly! And so I figured that having a Barber cut my hair versus my hairstylist shouldn't be to out of the norms? This is my 1st time coming here, as my regular hair stylist who has been my go to place in Kaimuki for many long years, recently had a fall and injured herself badly, and is now out on temporary medical leave until further notice, so I hope? Take note that this morning is hopping bizzy (perhaps due to holiday's), as I called 8 :30 a.m. this morn. to see if I needed to schedule an appt. and the cordial gentleman who answered mentioned that I am more than welcomed to come in whenever it is convenient. Arrived about 8 :45 a.m. and was surprised to see all of their 3 chairs were filled with men, with 2 other males waiting inside seated, as well as 2 other, (again males) and myself waited outside on their bench seating, in which 1 who brought his young son to cut his hair. However, being that men haircuts are fast and with 3 staff members to service customers, my wait time was only about 15 mins. and about 15.mins to cut. In closing, I am pleased with the service, and haircut, as I had a young Vietnamese gentleman cut my hair and he was very quiet with no conversations other than speaking to his Vietnamese female associate in his native language. Hey and checkout their pricing, which I found to be fair/ reasonable.

    Unpleasant experience with manager…read more I went to this salon to get blonde highlights. The last time I saw Amber, she did a good job and I was happy with the result. This time, I asked for more blonde streaks or "ribbons," but the result had very little visible blonde. It looked nothing like what I requested or what I had received previously. I called to have it fixed and was told I first needed to come in for a consultation with the manager, Gizelle. I went in and Gizelle spent 20 minutes telling me that I had not communicated my request for blonde highlights correctly. She insisted on placing the blame on me, even when I reminded her that Amber had no trouble understanding my request for blonde highlights on the previous visit. The interaction felt confrontational rather than helpful. I did receive a refund, but the overall experience was frustrating and disappointing. I also noticed another review here describing an unpleasant experience with Gizelle. Based on this experience, I would be cautious--not just about the consistency of the color work, but especially how customer concerns are handled by management.

    I did not realize I hadn't reviewed this place yet! I only get my hair cut once every couple years,…read morebut since moving back here from the mainland, I realize I should do it more. I was trying to hold out, but with the humidity and toddlers pulling on my hair, the split and damaged ends were starting to drive me crazy. I just needed a little trim to get it looking healthy again. I am a busy, working mom of 2, so the fact that this salon opens at 8am is amazing! Most places don't open till 9 or 10, right in the middle of my work day. Booking online was seamless. I tried to get there early, but there was some confusion about where it was. I called before 8, not expecting anyone to answer, but someone did and she was super nice and helpful and I was able to find my way there. I parked in front of Cinnamons and went in, and walked around. But FYI, it's actually a different building--if you are facing Cinnamons it's to the right. But plenty parking, so that was nice. Matt was so great! I wish I did more with my hair, but I pretty much either keep it all down or all up (usually up). I do like it being long, but was more concerned about the damaged ends, so I really didn't care how much was cut as long as it was healthy again. They offered coffee and water, which was so nice in the morning. Matt was really friendly and efficient and I really felt like I was being pampered. I didn't expect to--I was just trying to get an early hair cut, but I walked out like I had just had a spa day. I will definitely come back for my next hair cut next year.

    A special thank you to my hair stylist EFTHEMIA for fixing my hair!…read more I walked in when they first opened at 9 AM to no line and was seated immediately. I was also informed that you can book an appt. online and see wait times for the salon too. I wil probably use this service next time to avoid long lines, pick a certain hair stylist again, etc. Im not a hair person but EFTHEMIA gave me tons of options and opinions for what would work best for me, my face, and the look I was going for. Im generally indecisive and clueless but EFTHEMIA made me feel powerful with the choices I made. Im super happy with my look. She even honored a coupon I had for a $14.99 haircut and didnt try to add on any additional services (AKA extra charges) knowing I didnt want them. No washing or styling, just a haircut, which is what I wanted.

    I was in Kailua this Wednesday morning / afternoon and decided to get my hair cut. I made an online…read morereservation at Great Clips on Hekili Street. I usually get a simple fade ( medium though sometimes it will be low or high ) and trim up front. I shower and go...sometimes I'll put product in my hair but usually just towel dry and out the door. Prices have gone up: $30 for a men's cut. Barbers are efficient and competent at every Great Clips that I've been to on Oahu. I had an online coupon...and it made it a bargain. If you want a simple cut and you're a dude...can't go wrong visiting a Great Clips location. First visit to this Kailua shop...only 2 hairdressers. Moderately busy for the early afternoon on a weekday. Small parking lot in the Hekili Business Center acroos from the Kailua Towne Center. Hours are 900a till 700p, Monday thru Saturday; Sundays they close an hour early at 600p.
