Came with my cousins to get our hair done for a formal event that evening. I had an appt for a wash…read moreand style so I came in & perused some photos on my phone so I could show Rick, my hairstylist/owner. My cousin was first so we sat for a bit until Rick arrived as we came in a few minutes early for our appointments. I wanted long, flowy curls that would stand up to a few hours and into the night since I knew my hair would relax with the humidity and just naturally since my hair is long and fine. By the time it was my turn, I discussed my idea with Rick, showing my photos and telling him my hair doesn't hold a curl after awhile so I have to spray it with a lot of hairspray. He washed my hair with very warm water, then blow-dried/blow-out first to dry my hair. If the water is too hot, just communicate that. The hair dryer reminded me of my Dyson the way the air flowed and sounded. Afterwards, Rick sprayed my hair with an extreme hold hairspray prior to curling with a curling iron then sprayed again w/hairspray. I'd say only one time I felt the hot curling iron really close to my scalp. Otherwise, things went smoothly. I was probably finished within an hour. My curls were definitely sturdy. I asked Rick if he would tease the back of my hair since I like volume but he didn't want to add another dimension & mess with the curls. The curls held below the chin for the rest of the night but fell around my face and around my head. I think it was the humidity and because I have fine hair. It was a pretty style and my cousin who has really thick hair had curls that lasted all day and into the evening. My other cousin had an updo with soft face-framing curls. That was very elegant and the design of her bun in the back was intricate. Rick did a nice job working with her shorter-length hair with lots of bobby pins and creative design. The shop has a modern & spacious feel. There's a eyebrow services place adjoining the shop.

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would!…read more I called every single salon on island with the same message explaining what I needed help with and this place was the only place that texted me back with compassion and real help that same day. I was at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit on Oahu and had a hospital bun. I had a lot of seizures within a short period of time which matted and dreaded my hair. I could not detangle it myself and it was weighing on my self-confidence. After so much hair loss already, I wanted to save the length. This team responded to my request of detangling with such care, compassion, and patience. When I arrived I was assured that they were going to take care of me and my hair. This team was so kind to me and worked diligently on my hair for at least 3.5 hours. I was reminded that this is why they do what they do in this service industry. They accomplished this tedious task with gentleness, wonderful hospitality and fun. Towards the end of the detangling Jamie wanted to trim the ends of my hair to make my hair fuller with cleaner ends. I was floored by this team's generosity as they did NOT even charge me for this service that took up hours of their time and much effort. Jaime- you are the best! This team is extraordinary and I am forever grateful for their dedication to their work, their generosity and their kind hearts. This is a rare thing to find these days. I cannot say enough amazing things about this team of stylists! I am blessed beyond measure for what they did for me. And I will tell everyone I know about how awesome they are! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The best stylists in my experience have been from Japan and Korea. They know my hair best and their techniques are first class. I finally found my stylist, but she is on Oahu which means I need to spend extra money to fly over to get my hair done. That's how selective I am with stylists and important it is to trust anyone with my hair. Since I can't see Naomi at Raiz salon on Oahu often, I needed to find someone locally. I've come across some good stylists, but not great. With a recommendation from my cousin, who raved about her technique (the style and technique my asian stylists have), I wanted to make an appointment right away. Upon our first meeting, we clicked. I brought in samples of what I liked, had a great consultation, got to see some of her expertise at work and was blown away. I call her "Edward Scissorshand" lol I felt confident she knew her stuff. I trusted her with my hair. Sold! I never felt as excited about getting my hair cut with anyone other than my regular stylist on Oahu and in Colorado. She's also a great person to talk to. My 1 hour hair appt became a 2hour getaway. Thanks, Julia! She moved into a smaller space at Harbor Mall, but I like that it's cozier and more personal, rather than sitting in a room with a bunch of strangers with hair problems and their kids and families who tag along. lol With her expertise, I was amazed at the affordable cut for my long locks. I am used to paying at least $60 for just a cut/shampoo/style. I paid half of what I normally do. Cost is never an issue with me if it means getting a very good one. Thank you Julia! I'd like to see more exclusive hair products from Asia, but the "Miracle 10" leave in potion she recommended is awesome for my fine hair.

The woman I spoke with told me they could fit me in that same day at 5:30 p.m. and explained that the charge would be $35 per 30 minutes. When I arrived, it turned out she was the stylist who helped me. She patiently worked through the matting before closing time at 7:00 p.m. and was able to save my long hair with relatively little damage or cutting. The only hair that needed to be cut were two small rope-like knots to help separate them. I was incredibly grateful for her patience, skill, and care. Mahalo to Queara (Kiara) for taking the time to help me. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a stylist who is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
