I can't say enough amazing things about my hairdresser, Kathy! She is beautiful, vibrant, and absolutely hilarious--truly a joy to be around every time I sit in her chair. I've been going to her for over 10 years and have followed her through multiple locations, which says everything about the level of trust and consistency she brings. Kathy's work is always professional and on point. I constantly get compliments from friends, family, and coworkers after every appointment. I've recommended her to so many people over the years, and every single one has loved her just as much as I do. If you're unsure about what style you want, she has an incredible eye and will help you find something that suits you perfectly. You really can't go wrong booking with her--she's the total package! read more

The haircut itself turned out great, she's clearly skilled. Her communication style, however, is quite direct and can come across as intrusive at times. There were several moments that felt more probing than I would expect during a first appointment, which may not be comfortable for everyone. If you're okay with a very unfiltered approach that lacks professional boundaries at times, you'll likely have a good experience. Otherwise, it's something to be aware of. read more

Amazing vibe the hair stylist here are so fun and professional. Beyond phenomenal. Had such an amazing time. Highly recommend it : - ) they're up to date with the current trends and gets it right I recommend asking for their recommendations and letting them do their thing hehe read more

Kathy uses high quality shampoo and conditioner, made my hair shiny and healthy. She cut my hair a bit shorter than usual, it looks great and i feel light and airy, ready for summer. It looks good and low maintenance. When I go surfing, or wash my hair, it dries in a few minutes. Pony tails are just too boring for me, long hair is not suitable for hot Hawaii weather. I love short hair. read more

Ok I definitely found my go-to lady for hair cuts and this time I mean it! She's such a sweet Korean aunty who's a joy to talk to and her prices are more on the affordable side for the service you get. It's super easy to book an online appointment with her and she texts you the day of to confirm and sends you a picture of her location. I believe she recently moved because of the new condo rises. There's a parking lot (the alleyway by Pandora Cafe) and she validates your ticket after your session (you could also do street parking). It's a small shop so it's best to come alone to accommodate social distancing. I did a maintenance haircut where she cut off a couple inches, gave me textured layers, and face framing bangs -- all for $57 w/o tip. I had the same haircut somewhere else for double the price so my wallet was happy. She helped styled my stubborn hair and was able to curl it and surprisingly it lasted throughout the night! She really knows how to work her magic read more

Very glad I saw Kathy last week for balayage and hair cut. I was able to make a last minute same day appointment on Tuesday. She also texted me the details about parking. She works at Aube, which is a Japanese salon located on Makaloa st. The building she used to provide her services, there has been a lot of construction going on (new condo being constructed) so she moved to this salon. I told her I wanted balayage brown color and used a picture to illustrate it. She also recommended me to do some slight layers since my hair was thick and heavy. Kathy took her time and did such quality work on my hair. She even noticed that my bangs that I'm growing out, the color was not align with the balayage. So she went ahead and did some slight coloring to some of the bangs. After removing the foil, I saw the a big difference. I love her, so funny and sweet to converse with. She has magical hands. She also mentioned to me that when I come back next, can do change the color of the balayage for $60, take shorter amount of time. She recommended me this conditioner for colored hair that can be purchased from Amazon. Totally would recommend you see her. read more

Kathy is now at Aube Salon while they renovate the old bldg. I hope she stays here as it's modern and so close to the mall! She continues to update her repertoire and goes to conventions for the latest styles. read more

Trendy by Kathy - This is the shortest i've had since high school. Love the simple layers, Kathy blended my highlights with a few new ones. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you go on her website she has a special 'Wash and blow dry' for $40 / 45 min. I booked it and I called her the day of the appointment to check if it was scheduled and it was. It's convenient as it's on makaloa St in the Aube salon. You can park in the back there is like a little side street you go behind the building. She was very nice and I asked her if she could curl my hair since it was my birthday and I was going out later, she did exactly that.. Wash and blow dry and curled it for $40. Curls held up pretty well and I'd say it was worth it. Don't have to go to the dry bars that's way expensive. Will Def go back maybe try a cut or book for that same special. Very happy! read more

Kathy is amazing at what she does! I am so so pleased and in love with my new hair!! Kathy is so welcoming, funny and talented. This is the best hair cut i've ever had. I am happy to have found such a great stylist. I absolutely recommend her. The studio is super hip and peaceful, with great music. Also, her scalp massage was on point! read more

Trendy by Kathy - Love my haircut. Thanks Kathy, great job as always - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Location: First of all this place is kind of hard to find, but what I found helpful was it's the building right across of the Korean Park that's near Sanders Piano. It's also near the Kaheka Professional Building. It's the second floor of this building and on the street side, it doesn't say Salon Trendy 808, but Salon Trendy with Korean characters so don't be alarmed if the sign doesn't look right! Parking: The parking lot is on Liona Street so if you turn right onto Kaheka street and then the first left on Liona Street, you shouldn't miss it. If you bus it, Bus #2 dropped me off near the building (unbeknowst to me) so all you had to do was walk through the entry way as shown in the picture. (Picture credit goes to Angela C., sorry I edited your photo!) Cost: Unsure, but there was a $45 Groupon coupon I purchased that included a haircut and eye brow wax. Salon and Haircut: Katherine was so friendly and funny, it was such a joy to be her customer. She makes you feel welcome with her warm personality and humor. Her salon was super nice and she keeps it clean (she was tidying up the salon when I arrived). She made me feel so comfortable when she waxed my eyebrows and listened to everything I said about how I wanted my hair and eyebrows done. I told her to surprise me and she did! She cut my hair into a short and cute bob, I got a lot of compliments from my friends. I think she did a deep hair conditioning treatment too because she had my hair in the dryer for awhile and then rinsed it off. While my hair was drying, she put on a shoulder massage too! My haircut and wax didn't take that long, only about an hour considering my hair is super thick. Now, my hair is light and short, perfect for the summer weather to come! Would I recommend Salon Trendy 808? Yes! I would surely come here again because of the warm service! read more

Kathy is great! She takes care of her customers. Have been going to her for about 5 years. I am a wash and wear kinda person. Her cuts always fall nicely into place without much effort on my part. read more

Kathy is really sweet and funny. I found her through Groupon and was satisfied with her work. I am happy she found a better salon space!

Love love love Kathy and her work! Great service for great price! When I first came to her I need my bangs trimmed. She worked her magic on my mess and I got to leave looking great and feeling great! The hair cut was only $15! For great bangs! Kathy is very friendly, showed a few cute hair styles I could do while I let a portion of my bangs grow out, and also did a cute braid to my hair before I left!! I came to her a second time yesterday for hair trim and bangs trim... for hair wash, scalp massage, hair cut, and style I left paying $50! Look forward for my return bang trim in a month from now! Kathy is very pleasant to talk to as-well! read more

I just got a hair cut by Kathy today. I feel so good! She always shampoo my hair very good before the hair cut. She has an excellent skill as a hair stylist.

She also let my child to stay in the salon while I'm getting my hair done! I will go back again. read more

This 3-star experience began with an attempt to make an appointment using a Groupon deal that I just got (Haircut, conditioning and eye brow wax). I was able to get in on a Saturday, with a week's notice. I didn't receive a text confirmation like she said I would but when I called back a few days later to change my appointment time, I received a text from the salon shortly thereafter. Despite my leaving a little earlier to find the salon, I got there right on time. Upon entering the lot just off Kaheka and behind King, the parking lot attendant greeted me. There's another salon in the neighboring building but I quickly found the "Trendy" sign and I asked to park on that side of the lot. *Be sure to bring your ticket to get it validated at the salon. She mentioned no elevator in her text and so I walked up the steps to the salon after walking by several old Korean ladies eating in what looked like a kitchen/dining room. My appointment was with Michelle and as she was wrapping up with the previous customer, I was greeted by the other salon stylist. Aside from the one client, it was just me. Right away there was a friendly, low-key, yet very zen vibe and I was getting anxious for my turn to get pampered. Michelle was very professional and offered her suggestions, while adhering to my wish to try and keep the length of my hair as much as possible. She said that she would put toner in my hair. Not really knowing what that meant exactly, I went with it as she is the professional and knows best. To me, the best part of a hair salon experience is the wash and shampoo with scalp massage. It was ok. Nothing outstanding. The color came out really nice and took away the contrast left from a previous balayage. With the haircut, the total time it took was a bit longer than expected...about 90 minutes. Even with my paid Groupon deal, I still paid $40 on top of it, which I assume was for the toner. Though I wish I had been told about the extra charge ahead of time, I was happy with the end result and have received some compliments for it already. Yet, this is likely a one-time experience. read more

Met Kathy through my close friends many years ago and I go to her on all my hair needs since then. Always personable, easy to converse with and always deliver beyond expectations.

Kathy is awesome at what she does! The scalp and neck massages top it off! She's professional and has a fun personality. Parking is validated unless you choose to pay a buck or two in quarters for the side street meters. She's located on the second floor of a two story walk up building (not the blue building). Be sure to like her page on Facebook too! read more

I'm a little hesitant to write this review, just because I want to keep Kathy to myself : ) But I will do the right thing and share, lol. I've been seeing her for my hair for about a year and a half and that's a new record for me!! I always found something I disliked about my cut or hair dresser that I rarely went back a third time. That's how much I love her. Kathy has earned my trust so I finally took the plunge and got my eye brows and eye liner tattooed! Summer is coming up and I'm so glad I won't have to worry about smudging eye make up anymore! I was worried about the pain but Kathy made sure I got numbed up and she'll numb you up more if you need. She has a hidden room in the back so it's private and you'll be comfortably lying down. So far, I love the eyeliner. It looks great! I'll have to wait for my brows to settle in but it looks way better than what I had or I should say, didn't have : ) read more

Extremely excited to have found a hair stylist so close, so quick and so nice. Katherine will have been my fourth or fifth hair stylist that I've gone to on this island and hopefully she won't move away like the rest of them! (I have extremely bad luck lol). So her hair salon is on the 2nd floor of a building behind Liona St. Its between a private music studio and a senior citizen gambling room. It's quiet, has three chairs and to be honest, it's the perfect place for me because I hate big salons. Apparently there's a groupon for first time customers too! If you want a no fuss salon, with a eye brow wax, head massage, cut and blow out for $45.00, this is the place for you! She did all of it in under 45 mins. NOT even kidding. I love it. read more

Trendy by Kathy - $45 for wash/cut/style and brow wax. All done in 45 mins. Best "spa" day ever. #nofuss - Hair Stylists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

No words to describe my first experience at Salon Trendy besides fabulous! I came here as a last minute thing after an unsatisfied haircut at my usual salon. Katherine was able to take me in the same day I called. Katherine was so personable and really fun to chat with. She understood what I wanted and gave me the haircut I'd envisioned. Her pricing is very reasonable at $45 for haircut with wash, deep conditioning, and eyebrow wax!!!! She definitely won me over and I'm looking forward to coming back! She answers best to text messages which is perfectly fine with me since we live in a texting world. PS: park in the lot because she validates. Her salon is located behind the sake shop on King St. before Kaheka. read more

My experience here was amazing! Kathy cut my hair exactly the way I wanted and really took her time getting it perfect. I left feeling great and would highly recommend! read more

Chop, chop! Who wants to lose some weight really quickly? I got a weight loss plan just for you, hun! It's called get a hair cut! :) No, really. When you chop off nearly 11 inches of your hair, you'll feel lighter for sure! LOCATION/PARKING: The salon entrance is from Liona Street, despite having a South King Street address. Parking is available in the lot which is accessible from Liona Street on the right hand side. There's 2 lots (but one entrance). Kathy validates for parking. Otherwise, you can park on the street. The salon is on the second floor; just look for the Salon Trendy sign. The area/building doesn't look that inviting but inside is really cute and she decorated it well! The door may be locked, but just knock! STYLIST: Kathy runs her own salon, no other employees. She's SO funny and personable. I had a blast talking with her! Since I can be really talkative at times, it was nice that she kept talking too so that I wasn't only hearing my voice! :P She does have an accent and sometimes I had a hard time understanding. But to give her credit, I'm just really bad with accents. APPOINTMENTS: You MUST make an appointment. She does not take any walk-ins. She is also not open on Mondays. You can call the number listed (947-1122) but she actually prefers text messages since she's so busy with clients. Direct message me if you want her cell phone number. (I'm guessing there's a reason she doesn't advertise her cell phone number. I'd rather not put it on the web for everyone to see.) THE HAIRCUT: Okay, if you've read my Premier Salons at Macy's review, you'd know I have unbelievably thick hair...and a lot of it. I guess it's a blessing, but it really does suck when it's time to get a hair cut. If it's not cut right, it looks downright HORRIBLE I tell you. And since I love short hair, but have wavy hair, the proper cut is crucial. I showed her a picture of what I wanted which is much easier than trying to describe it. Even before cutting, Kathy warned me that it might be poofy :/ But I was willing to take that risk! She then washed/conditioned my hair and did an eyebrow wax. She used waxing strips and was really fast since she only had to clean it up instead of reshape. Kathy also does a scalp massage which was super awesome! Then, off to the real deal! Cut done, then blow dry, then flat iron. She gave me some tips to minimize the poofiness. I don't think that's a real word? In the end, I absolutely LOVED my cut. :) Feels so light!! PRICE: I purchased a Groupon online for $45 which included hair cut, deep conditioning, and brow wax. (You can get additional discounts like 20% off from Groupon if you wait for the right time.) Technically, the Groupon is available only for first time clients but she had told me if I wanted to come back, she'd charge the same price :) I think it's a deal! Be sure to have your Groupon ready when you go in so she can check it! There's no added fees from her either, but I would tip :) read more

I noticed this place because I used a Groupon. Kathy was so nice and careful with me. I've been to some eyebrow waxing salons and she is the best! I've never been in less pain from an eyebrow wax before. The amazing thing is that she did condition, massage, eyebrow wax and haircut all in 1 hour! She really is concentrated in making your hair and eyebrows perfect. I will be back for my next haircut and wax from her! read more

Finally went to see my hairstylist at Salon Trendy! I've been with Kathy for a while, since she was working out of Salon Bobby & Guy, then Regis Ala Moana and now at her own place at SALON TRENDY. I always have a blast when I go to see her. She's funny and so easy to talk to. She also does eye brow waxing and tattooing. The price is very reasonable for the tattooing. She does amazing work, so if you want to fill in your eye brows or just get another shape....you should go visit Kathy K. So I've been trying to grow my hair long....it's always the same where I start out strong with this thought and end up going to cut it to my normal Bob style. This year is a successful year of growing it long. She is very supportive of what you want to do. Directions: Basically if you're on S. King, turn right at Kaheka, and right at Liona. The parking is the second driveway on the right. You do need to pay for parking IF the parking attendant is there. There is also street meter parking but depending on what you're planning to get done it could cost more to park on the street. Once you park, the salon is upstairs through a red door. I would only recommend the best as I AM VERY PARTICULAR about my hair. Making an appointment would be ideal since it's not your normal place to just be wandering around. read more

Kathy gave my "virgin" hair a beautiful balayage coloring that is soft, feminine, and very natural looking. She took her time and monitored the progress of my hair well so it turned out perfectly. The lob cut she gave me is so fun and makes me look younger! I appreciated that Kathy took the time to teach me how to curl it, using various techniques with the curling iron that no other stylist had ever shown me. Kathy is very talented and makes you feel at ease. She also listens to what you want and helps you to achieve the look you desire. I'm very happy and I highly recommend her as a cut and color stylist! read more

Just got a full treatment of haircut and permanent eyebrow tattoo from Kathy and temporary eyelashes from Janice.... Amazing! Kathy is super nice and easygoing, but she is also really good at what she does. My haircut is exactly what I wanted and she turned my old horrible uneven tattooed eyebrows into a more natural and fuller look. I promise when I say, Kathy is the person to go to for hair and definitely for permanent makeup... She knows her stuff! As for my temporary eyelashes, I love it! Janice is just starting up learning how to do eyelashes but she did an amazing job. I woke up the other day and my daughter said "you look so beautiful mommy", and I didn't do a thing because the eyebrows and eyelashes make it look like I spent a half hour doing my makeup. Great salon, excellent service read more

Katherine always provides great service!! Came in to get my daughters hair straightened today - absolutely beautiful! After being referred by a close friend, my daughter and I have been coming back several times for various services over the past few years - hair cut and style, prom hair and make up, straightening and facials. Nice cozy salon. Katherine continues to keep up with the latest trends, products and services which I love! She's not pushy like some other salons that I've been too - buy this product, do this, you should cut your hair this way, etc. Katherine always makes my daughter and I feel comfortable. read more

For the longest time, I had difficulty finding a salon that could cut and style my hair to my liking. But after being referred to Katherine by my coworker, I have been frequenting this salon for over a year now. FYI it is appointment only; no walk-ins. Salon Trendy may be a bit hard to find at first but if you Google Map or GPS it then it should be no problem. I'm not very good at giving directions but it is located on Liona Street, inside the parking lot (validation is given) on the second floor. It is a small cozy salon because as the owner, she is the only one that works there. Katherine is very friendly and easy to make conversation with. She first asks how you want your hair cut and gives recommendations if you aren't exactly sure. It can help to bring in a picture. Then she proceeds to washing your hair. After cutting and washing your hair (once more), she asks how you want your hair styled and styles it accordingly. The highlight of my experience is the head massage she gives while washing your hair the second time. Who knew such power could come from her small hands. She is a professional and an expertise in this field because she has received training in California and even South Korea. She analyzed my hair and suggested which hair color suits me the most based on my skin tone. She is kept up to date with the trends and gives great advice on which cut, which style would look best. Overall, the service is awesome. She confirms with you if you like the hair, and if you don't, she will do her best to make sure it meets your satisfaction. read more

Went in for a drastic cut. With a few ideas in mind and pics from Pinterest, Kathy helped me find the right style for my face.

I am so glad that Michelle is back in Hawaii. She left for Japan over 4 years ago and I was lost without her for a while and I even went to Japan to get a haircut by her. Michelle is a beautiful person inside and out and she does a beautiful work on your hair. I met her at Paul Brown Salon sometime ago and ever since then she has been doing my hair. Now she is trying to build her clientele here in Hawaii and I highly recommend her. She is very good and conscientious. She is very kind and caring so you will get a best hair care ever! I highly recommend her. Please call and make an appointment with her. She will make you look beautiful! read more

Kathy is a really nice and friendly person to work with. Very conversational and nice. Her head massage in the beginning was very relaxing. And she waxed my eyebrows, which was the first time I ever got them waxed, and it wasn't as painful as I imagined it being (partially because Kathy knew what she was doing). Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience here. I will definitely be coming back again. Yay :) read more

I was happy to find this place. I bought a groupon and the hairstylist accepted it. She later explained she had another employee that started it but left and so she continues to take groupon potential clients. I'm guessing there is a contract existing still. She is very fast at completing the deal. I got my hair washed, conditioned, cut, eyebrows waxed and then my hair blow out at the end. The parking lot charges but hair stylist validates. I agree with all reviews the gps does not route correctly to her location. I did call for assistance and she was very helpful. I enjoyed her company. We had many talks during my session and I am considering returning to try out her other specialties. She offers permanent makeup as well. read more

Came back to Salon Trendy to have my hair done again with Kathy. She made my hair cut and style a hit at work last time I was here, so I had to come back again.

Parking is also awesome. Definitely keeping my hairstylist and this place as my normal go to salon. read more
