Best Beauty Salons In Honolulu

“I am super pleased with my eyelash extensions. Noriko was wonderful and patient helping me decide the look I wanted. She did a combination of brown and black to make them as natural as possible on my own light eyelashes. She recommended a length, created a lovely natural shape, and gave me a great price for my first time there. I felt well taken care of and in good hands throughout. Highly recommend!“

“I came to this salon with low expectations and just wanted a gel with white flowers to match my dress. I was blown away. The workers were very sweet and space was clean. I expected my nail technician to put floral stickers, but she hand painted them! She even mixed colors to match the flowers exactly on my dress. I will be returning to this salon whenever I visit Hawaii. I also love how they weren’t harsh in cleaning my nails and cuticles.“

“I have no reason to write this. Habib is in such demand, he doesn't need good reviews to keep him afloat. But having bumped into other hairdressers and encountering their tactics, I feel compelled to write about why I like Habib. Habib is an artist. He recognizes the state and shape of your hair and the state and shape of you. He has nuance when he cuts hair and doesn't try to force down a client's throat generic templates of what is "in" or what the industry is dictating looks good. I never feel belittled by his style sense or the choices I make regarding personal style or even products. Don't get me wrong -- Habib is always current. He knows what techniques and looks are the industry standard. He indeed is responsible with his craft. But he knows how to help his clients rise rather than hamstringing them into a dependency on him specifically or his product offerings. Habib is never heavy-handed about how often to get services from him, and he doesn't push products or create product dependency. The irony is that it is just that trait that causes my dependency on him specifically. I cannot say enough great things about him as a person, as an artist and the work he does. I just hope he cuts hair for the rest of my life!“

“The first time I came in here I was recommended by my WFG partner Shann and only got a haircut. Later on, I saw another boy getting his hair braided and I wanted something different, besides the basic 'upside-down' bowl cut. Soon I was looking fabulous with amazing highlights on my curls. She gave me a referral to one of her girlfriends to have my eyebrows darkened and now I look spectacular! The local aunties here might wink at me and say I'm 'makamaka'! Thank you Vangie for making me feel at home in your barbershop and best wishes in the new year! 2022 was amazing and 2023 blessings to come!“

“I can’t say enough positive things about this business!!! I did the first micro blading appointment with another business about 5 years ago and it was such an awful experience I just avoided going back . I finally got up the courage to do it again and everything about this was smooth easy and she did a fantastic job! I felt comfortable and pain free the ENTIRE time and even though I needed to use the restroom… and a charger.. and i needed water… I was accommodated so pleasantly the whole time . I would 100% recommend this business to anyone looking for.a seamless, convenient pleasant permanent makeup experience. The price was very reasonable too and I was able to snag a same day appointment! Try this business, you will not be disappointed!!“

“In addition to barber services, Liz also cuts & colors hair. My Mom has been getting cuts & color from Liz for a while. Her prices are reasonable too. When I looked around for options, root touch ups were in the $100 range which seems a bit high for a few inches of hair.“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about The Color Lounge! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely welcomed and cared for. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and relaxing — you can tell the team has poured their heart into creating a space where clients feel at home.

Whether you’re there for a fresh new hairstyle, a rejuvenating facial, or perfectly shaped brows, the talented team goes above and beyond to make sure you leave looking and feeling your absolute best. My stylist took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted for my hair and offered helpful suggestions that made the final result even better than I imagined! ?✨??

The attention to detail, the genuine kindness of the staff, and the incredible skill they bring to every appointment make this place a true gem. I left not only loving my hair, but feeling more confident!! ??‍♀️

If you’re looking for a salon that treats you like family while giving you flawless results, The Color Lounge is the place to be!! ???“

“Was a great experience with Daniela. She started by asking what I wanted to feel from my hair when I left and that was the backbone of our appointment (a great approach to set the tone for the cut and style!) She gave me a 10 minute scalp massage during the wash and works quietly which was a refreshing opportunity for reflection and meditation versus small talk like many stylists. If you’re looking for a stylist who emphasizes hair health, versatility, and energy I highly recommend!“

“Rattiya is very sweet! I showed her a picture of the hair I wanted and she made it happen! I only got a cut here, but will be returning for hair color as well!
Clean, nice interior, and she knows what she’s doing. I recommend bringing a photo of the hair you want!!“

“Magellan is an absolute magician! It's rare to find a barber who can consistently deliver such sharp lines and flawless fades. The attention to detail he puts into every haircut is top-notch, always making sure every cut is perfect before you leave his chair.

​Beyond his immaculate attention to details and his skills, the whole experience is just next level. He has a really calm, chill demeanor that makes the time in his chair genuinely relaxing. There's no pressure, just good vibes and a quiet, focused energy. You walk in, and it feels more like you're hanging out with a friend than getting a haircut. If you're looking for a barber who's not only incredibly talented but also a true professional with a chill vibe, Magellan is your guy!“

“I love the hair stylist Zoe who works here!! She's been very patient and amazing with my hair. She's listened to all my weird ideas and worked through them. I generally enjoy being at this salon. My hair looks amazing everytime I leave!!“

“I love this place! I love how I feel after I get my acupuncture done. The advice I get and the way that Cymone cares about my health makes me come back here all the time.“

“A sudden vacation without any summer clothes! When you think of Hawaii, you think of beach, and when you think of beach, you mean tan. Shoko is very gentle and kind. I received the Brazilian and was very satisfied as it worked well even at a lower temperature than the ones I received in Korea ???

This is a sudden vacation without any summer clothes. When I think of Hawaii, I think of beaches, and when I think of beaches, I think of tanning. Shoko was very gentle and kind. I chose Brazil. I was very satisfied because she did it skillfully even at a lower temperature than what I had been used to in Korea. I totally recommend her???“

“What an amazing gem of a place with such a skilled professional. I highly recommend, especially for a men's cut.“

“I have gotten three facials from Susan so far and each time it has been a wonderful experience. She explains what she is doing and it's purpose so you know what you are getting. I always feel great when I leave. Looking forward to my next treatment!“

“Best service! They truly make you feel welcomed and comfortable. They don't rush to finish and always put their customers first.“

“I can’t describe how comfortable this entire process was for me. With my wedding coming up and my skin always being a concern, I was so nervous booking anybody. However, I am so so glad that I chose Skin Alchemy. She not only was so kind and accommodating, but she answered all my questions and made educated recommendations on how and which services I should use before and after the facial. Communicating with her was so easy and the experience was all around wonderful!“

“I got my hair done here for the 3 years I lived in Hawaii. Excellent salon in a very convenient location. Davis is absolutely amazing. I wish I could fly back every couple months to still get my hair done here! Highly recommend“

“As a licensed cosmetologist , I am very particular. This place TAKES CARE OF YOU !! Gentle application, fair pricing ,super friendly AND MY NAILS LAST ME 4 weeks . I stay in water so to me that is GOLD ! 10000000/10 (I’m a simple girl but they also get down in designs!)“

“If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work, Candace is the one to go to.

She has done amazing things for my complexion and lashes, and honestly, she has made me feel so much prettier and more confident. What makes her special is that she doesn’t just provide a service, she really takes the time to understand what you want and explain everything she’s doing along the way.

Candace is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and very detail-oriented. She’s meticulous with her work and makes sure every little detail is perfect before you leave.

I also appreciate that she stays up to date with the latest trends while still choosing products that are healthy and safe for your skin.

Whether you’re new to beauty treatments or already familiar with them, Candace will make you feel comfortable, confident, and glowing when you walk out the door. I highly recommend her!“

“I have been a customer for over 5 years. At Mai's beauty salon, you will be treated respectfully and kindly by the owner, Mai. She gives you ownership over your hair design while offering expert and reliable suggestions based on her credible years of experience. If you are looking to have your hair treated beautifully by a stylist with a beautiful heart and intelligent mind, Mai's Beauty Salon is where you should go.“

“I had a lash artist in Las Vegas for years, and leaving her was honestly so hard when I moved to Oahu. I’m very particular about my lashes, so finding someone who met my standards was a big deal to me.

I found Lash Artistry, specifically Jo, through a Google search, and from the start, she was incredibly welcoming. Synchronistically, she used to live in Vegas too, which made it feel like such a perfect match.

Not only is her customer service amazing, but her work is even better! Retention is great, especially with the humidity here, and she uses a lash glue that really holds up in this weather.

On top of that, I’ve only seen her 3 times now and conversations just flows! If I’m spending hours getting my lashes done, I want it to feel like I’m catching up with a friend, and that’s exactly what it’s like with Jo.

Highly recommend ?“

“I was on honeymoon in Waikiki and about to go on a cruise. My roots looked revolting and I desperately needed a treatment before I left. I messaged the number based on the Google reviews- it was 10pm at night - and I got a reply! I was so impressed. I took at Uber the next morning and was so impressed. What a great find!“

“It's probably been a year since I last cut my hair and it's growing long. Also need some expert guidance on taking care of my hair. A haircut nowadays is quite expensive. I wanted something cheap and simple... not much to ask. I searched all through yelp and also did my research on places. I found a lot of old reviews of this place. Located in Chinatown cultural plaza right next to the stage. I always thought this place would be too expensive because of its modern look. Little did I know that this is probably the cheapest place for a haircut nowadays. Parking is available at cultural plaza or meter street parking. I don't the cost of the parking but they do validate. I called a day before and schedule an appointment. I didn't have any specific person to request since I never been there before. So I just said whoever is available so I can get my hair cut. I was schedule around lunchtime on a Saturday. They were quite busy as I still waited for 15 minutes after my appointment time. There were about 3-4 workers who works there that greeted me when I walked in. I showed them the hair style I want on my phone and he gave me some suggestions. For $35, you get a deep hair wash, and haircut. That's a pretty awesome deal. Throughout the experience, great customer service and communication. I would definitely be back to get my haircut here or possibly some sort of hair styling.“
