This review is for Shana at the refinement. She is a friend of a friend I've been following on IG…read moreand she was offering an awesome special on balayage for any length hair (this was before the covid pandemic) so I took it. It was super easy to make an appointment and she's pretty flexible with her days and times. The salon is on dillingham above a physician's office so I would schedule when they are not open. The salon itself is clean and has a nice ambiance, I did not feel out of place while hanging out on their couch waiting for my turn. Shana did an amazing job on my hair. I had a party later on that evening that I attended and I got many compliments. My scalp didn't burn and my hair actually smelled really good after getting colored. I will be back after this pandemic is over!

She always takes such good care of me when I get a cut. I have been coming back everytime because I love how my hair feels after. Shana makes it so simple. I can go in without a picture and she will cut it exactly the way I want it. Make sure to check in on yelp to redeem your $20 off any hair service!! yes you read that right!! $20!! I go and get a $60 hair cut, and end up paying only $40. That's a deal if you ask me!! Requesting an appointment is super easy. You can message on yelp and they will get back to you. Only downside is the parking is pretty tuff and hard to get it if sometimes. It's kinda small and tight. One time I had to drive around the block a couple times because it was full. Other than that, I love this place and continue to come back every time.

We came in earlier this afternoon, and the lady who cut my son's hair cut it way too short and uneven. She really messed up his haircut, and we were extremely unhappy with the result.

Definitely not the quality or service we expected, and unfortunately, this will make us think twice about coming back

I got my digital perm and haircut from Yosuke back in July and I am still so happy with it. It has…read morebeen three months and my hair still looks great. I showed him one inspiration video and he understood exactly what I wanted. The whole appointment felt easy, he explained what he was doing, and the results came out better than I expected. My hair is very low maintenance now and it has been so nice to style every day. I am already excited for my next touch up. Yosuke is amazing and I really recommend him if you want someone who listens and truly brings your vision to life.

After getting my hair cut by Yosuke, I have had so many compliments. Most of them say "wow you look…read moreso young". You know when people say that, you're old. 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!

She was amazing. She worked with me on a riot touch up to come as close as possible to my current color. She was engaging, fun and did a great job of matching my current color. My hair came out so silky after a toner was applied. Ane handled my blowout. She knew exactly what to do. Next time I'm in Honolulu and need a colorist, I'll call Salon Blanc.

I got an awesome Sunday appointment, it was easy to book online, the vibe is welcoming, and I got a phenomenal haircut. It looked so cute when I left and much healthier than what I walked in with. There are a few stylists working out of the salon so you have to work with each of them individually. My haircut was from Ryan who always delivers exactly what I ask for. It's really nice to be back.

Because of Chinese New Year coming up, I was yet again forced to cut my hair for good luck. The…read moreonly good haircut experience I had was with Allen back at his old job location but when I found out he left, I was wondering where would I cut my hair now??? Of course with the power of social media, I saw that my friend got her hair cut by Allen who was now at Ryanjacobie! I was excited to make an appointment with a groupon that I found for a deep-conditioning treatment + haircut for less than $50 -- what a steal! When I made my appointment, I asked who I was assigned to and I was told it would be Allen, yay! Following Yelp's directions, I took the bus and walked to where I was supposed to be but I kept circling around this one area trying to find the shop...the map said I was here yet it was nowhere to be found??? I read more about the location in the Yelp reviews and tips before I finally found it! It was literally right across Hawaii National Bank. The reason why it was so hard to find was because their sign was stolen so you could easily walk by without noticing. Thank goodness I'm an early bird because I still had 15 minutes to spare before my appointment time. Now I thought Allen would be taking care of me but instead Siera came out and said she would be helping me today. I was slightly sad because I was told Allen would be my stylist but it wasn't really a big deal since Siera definitely delivered as well! It was a bit awkward at first because there wasn't really any talking and she didn't really explain to me how the deep-conditioning treatment would work until I asked her. It was more of her telling me where to go and what to do. It definitely did get better as we started chatting. She helped me fix my previous haircut and made a miracle happen when she curled my hair and got it to stay for the night! I was in love and left the shop a happy customer.

I always struggled with finding a hairstylist who will be able to cut curly hair. I was nervous and…read moreskeptical going in, but I knew the moment I walked in she was a pro. The way she would talk about my pattern and my layers already told me that she knew what she was doing. First, she dry cut some of my curls. Then she washed, massaged, and straightened my hair, then cut some more of it while It was straightened to make sure it had an even finish both ways. she also gave amazing advice on how to keep my hair healthy. All of that was included in a 120 price which is a price you cannot find anywhere else. My hair turned out amazing straightened, and I know once I turn it back to curly it will look even better! Curly haired girls this is the place to go!

Monique was true to her word, color corrected the mess I was stuck with since May 2024, and SAVED my curly hair! Hallelujah, I look better than normal, didn't go bald, and I'm eternally grateful.
