Maunakea Beauty Salon

Sep 2022

I don't know if the lower reviews were for the nail portion of the salon but I got my hair cut today and they did a good job! I was originally waiting for instyle hair & nail salon in Maunakea marketplace but their hair stylist wasn't in yet, I guess I was too early lol. Went around the corner to see if they had someone available and since she was I decided to try it out. She was a very good stylist and she had to work hard since I have a lot of hair and it's pretty wavy, she had to straighten my hair while cutting to make sure it was even. Price was decent, $35 for cut with layering and thinning out my hair. It's a little shorter than I asked for but I don't mind it at all. I think I prefer the other salon better but I would come back here if needed. They are open seven days a week and open early like 7am but she mentioned if they are slow they close early like around 4-430pm.

I went to this place from a recommendation and was surprisingly shocked that the lash extensions were so cheap. I paid $45 for a full set and it was my first time. You park on the street there is usually parking on the parallel street where you can pay by meter, it is $1.50 per hour. The beauty salon is located on the second floor above the markets but it isn't hard to find. I went on a Friday after work around 3:00 PM with no appointment made prior. There were about five employees and maybe two customers so I was lucky and got my lashes done right away. There is a room in the back with beds where they do all their lash extensions. A girl named Mimi did mine within an hour which is pretty fast from what I've heard. The lashes are thicker than I've had before so if you are sensitive to the heaviness of lashes then maybe this is it isn't the place for you because they didn't give me an option of choosing the type of hair of any choice really for my eyelash extensions. I was very impressed that it only took an hour of my time to get a full set of lashes. Mimi did a fantastic job and the lashes look natural, they aren't too full and long. If you are more into the natural look then please come here because $45 for a full set is ridiculously cheap. They said that the lashes with last around 2 to 3 weeks so we will see how long I last. I've had my lashes for almost a week and so far they look fantastic. In order to get a refill said you'll have to come within 2 to 3 weeks but the refills are only $35 so it is definitely worth it. I am so glad I found a place that is affordable because I am not one to pay anything over $100 for lash extensions. Overall my experience was good even though none of the employees really spoke English, I was still able to communicate what I wanted. Plus I'm not that picky and I am easy to please so that worked out. You can pay with card and leave your tip on your card as well. If you arent sensitive to the fumes of the glue or the heaviness of the eyelash hair I don't know why you wouldn't be coming here.

Great Thai Hair-Dresser 'Rattiya' is so great. I always ask her to do my hairs for cutting and coloring. I have very good knowledge how to handle hairs for each person. I have been her customer since she start working at Maunakea Salon
