Best Barber Shops In Aiea

“John’s the best! He was my go to barber for over 3 years. I have really thick, salt & pepper hair and he mastered my super short cut with ease. He always gave me the perfect fade and knew exactly what to do when I wanted to get creative. My hair grows back fast too and he knew how to give me the best shape for the grow out. We miss him in NC but are super happy for his next chapter, you all are lucky to have him!“

Missed Judi
Went to visit her and found out she had rapidly encountered “cancer” !
Got my hair touched up by Kimberly on a Thursday with my grand girls waiting .. she also washed my hair , the style I asks for and she did .. while I went home and cared for my hair it was a perfect trim , like Judi !
Called my uncle to report on about Judi and then he told me she passed on the next day or that Thursday !
Missing Judi
And
Finding out Kimberly is going to retire …. Ughhh !
Gonna get my hair trimmed before she retires !“

“(Aunty) Kay has been our family barber for well over 40 years! She’s cut my hair from when I was a baby in the booster seat, my father’s hair, AND my grandfather’s hair!

I’ve seen her keep the shop consistent throughout my 25+ years of going to her! You’ll always hear the radio playing in Japanese, with actual comfy bench seats inside the shop as well. They offer a separate shiatsu service, typically done by a gentleman that is in the room next door.

The prices are really hard to beat; as of July 25th, 2025, a simple haircut was $16, cash! She was stunned when I told her recently about the going rate for haircuts now!

For those looking for a #4 guide, a burst fade, razor drawn designs, eyebrow lines, textured fringe, etc, unfortunately, this is NOT the barbershop for you. She will politely tell you that that’s not what she does.

She’s a self described “Old Fashioned Barber”, where everything is done the old fashioned way…scissors over comb, freehand shaping, light product usage after the cut, and most importantly…no ring lights/phones out for social media posting!

At times it can be tricky to get an appointment with her, as she only does it through in-person visits/phone calls, getting booked incredibly fast! I know that she does enjoy traveling, so definitely make arrangements prior. Because she runs such a tight ship, make sure to explicitly say what you’d like prior to your appointment time, not afterwards (like if you want a shave/her to wash out your hair after your haircut).

That being said, you’re going to get an incredibly experienced barber with steady hands and decades of experience. That’s definitely hard to come by, considering she’s nearly 80! I hope to have my son have (Aunty) Kay cut his hair some day before she stops cutting hair for good!“
