    Short cut- perfect for the summer
    Angela C.

    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.

    Her lighting is wow

    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

    This is the shortest i've had since high school. Love the simple layers, Kathy blended my highlights with a few new ones.

    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.

    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!

    I like how my hair came out !

    Today I went in to color my hair, and she did such an amazing job and I really like it. Kathy is a really nice person, very funny and she knows she's doing. She's me feel comfortable and very pretty with my hair. She's the person I go to, to cut my hair or get my hair done

    Love my haircut. Thanks Kathy, great job as always

    My wife gets her hair cut with Kathy and I was happy to find out that she cuts men's hair just as well. I like a more subtle cut as opposed so some of the more dramatic fades and Kathy always does a great job on my thick Asian hair. Highly recommended!

    Kathy did a great job on my hair today. She cut and styled it within 35 minutes. Great service and I definitely plan to go back soon for highlights :) The prices are midrange and worth it.

    Clean, neat and luxury for a small place

    Good service. Katherine is super friendly and her helper Janice gave a good head massage. The place is clean. Fun services and good prices. Katherine, she is the owners and she take good care of her customer. Put a lot of care toward client hair. I enjoy my experience here. She is the best. Also before I leave the gave me a good product suggestion for my hair. Her massage chair is amazing. Should try it out. So relaxing. I love it... Would come back definitely

    I really love the layering she did!

    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!

    I was in Hawaii for a vacation and I am just SO SO THANKFUL I found Kathy!!! She did such an amazing job. Got a haircut and did balayage for my hair. So perfect and worth every penny. Thank you Kathy I hope I'll find you again when I return to hawaii

    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 is very open to questions about hair, and gives me great answers. She's always available for phone calls. She has very flexible schedule to make an appointment. She also let my child to stay in the salon while I'm getting my hair done! I will go back again.

    Always have a wonderful experience with Kathy. I love my new hair. She moved to her new location 1528 Makaloa Street. Thank you Kathy!
    Elaine B.

    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. Thank you for always giving new life to my boring hair. She moved to her new location: 1528 Makaloa Street, Honolulu.

    Happy customer!

Yosuke is amazing and I really recommend him if you want someone who listens and truly brings your vision to life.

When I was younger and had a good haircut, no one ever told me that. Another reason I love Yosuke is that he actually taught me something. He told me never go to bed with wet or damp hair because it will break. All these years I thought it was the opposite. I thought blow-drying hair was bad. Now I am taking his advice and most of the hair is remaining on my head instead of on the floor or in the trash can. He splits his time between Las Vegas and Oahu so you may need to wait before getting your hair styled. You can find him on Instagram - Yosuke's Hairdresseraccount. He replies quickly and efficiently. Women's haircut currently about $80 without tip, includes wash, head massage, cut, blow dry and styling. Fabulous!

I waited 20 minutes for my 1pm haircut, Adam seemed stressed and in a hurry when we finally started our haircut after 1:20pm, we went to the hair washing station, it was full, so he gestured me to go back to the hair cutting station, only to gesture me to come back to the hair washing station a few seconds later. Just gesturing me back and forth with his hand, no talking, no saying "please, or thank you", nothing polite about his gesturing. Being sent back and forth does not make me feel well-treated. Adam used all kinds of heating tools to make my haircut looked okay as I walked out of this "celebrity" Salon. When I arrived home to wash and dry my hair, it returned to its natural texture and it became a disaster. My hair became puffy and so many volume, that it resembled the shape of the letter "A", the shape of the Egyptian pyramid, it became the largest natural helmet you can imagine... a race car helmet! I calmed myself to wait a few days, maybe I will get use to it, maybe it is not so bad, maybe it will be okay, but everyday when I wake up to look at the mirror, I see my big helmet hair and want to cry! This disaster costed me over $100 dollars and $20 dollars in cash tip to Adam. Now I have booked another hair appointment with my old stylist to fix this disaster so I don't go to all the holiday parties with my ugly helmet hair, so that I don't want to cry everyday when I wake up. I also had to wait 20 minutes for my 1pm appointment with Adam. This so-called celebrity salon is not what it pretends to be. I don't feel like a celebrity, and I don't look like a celebrity, instead, my haircut at Salon Blanc made me feel unimportant for a long wait and UGLY!

Mikey made the yummiest drinks and was so fun to talk to, such great energy! The experience started with a relaxing wash, followed by my choice of hairstyle.
