I really wanted to try a new salon and finally took the leap. I called Salon 253 and scheduled an…read moreappointment. I was introduced to Carrie, and she was such a breath of fresh air. We talked and laughed the whole time, and she really listened to what I wanted for my hair color and cut. I'm so happy with how my hair turned out -- I've gotten so many compliments! They even offered me a glass of wine and took my picture after she finished -- such a nice touch. This is the salon experience I've always wanted Kudos to Carrie and the entire Salon 253 team.

I've been going to Salon 253 since they opened on 253 Market Street and I am still a loyal customer…read moreuntil now. Their new location is now on Wells Street. Parking is limited so I tend to park at the Baseball field nearby and walk down to their location. They have never disappointed with their selection of Master & Senior Stylists to their Junior/Student Stylists trained in house. Not to mention, it's a beautiful salon with freshly cut tropical flowers all over and a mod and boho vibe that I esthetically love! They always ask me if I want a drink too whether it's sparkling water, coffee or a Mimosa. I've supported both Senior and Junior Stylists alike. I do try if possible to stick to the Junior Stylists for a more affordable option but of course they all become Senior Stylists eventually. But I do believe the Junior Stylists can be 50% off the Master or Senior Stylists. Sometimes they have promos that include a Free Haircut on my Vagaro app. Today I got a Full Balayage and Haircut. I asked for more Ash Blonde tones since my top was already showing my dark roots. I also wanted French/Curtain bangs and some face framing layers for my cut. After the foil painting that took about 1-2 hours, I was taken to the Shampoo and Conditioning station which included a relaxing scalp massage. I had Toner applied twice to bring the color I wanted to life. Along with my haircut, the whole process lasted maybe 4 1/2 hours so if you do a Full Balayage, make sure you eat before you get started and prepare to have a salon day! Downside is that Good Hair isn't cheap by any means plus this is Maui. I paid $375 (not including the 20% tip) for the Balayage and Haircut. I believe my Stylist Shayla is now a Senior Stylist but I've seen many of the talented Stylists over the years, Ace, Manelle, Sara, Chloe and Shayla. If you're looking for amazing, feel beautiful and confident hair, make sure you save up and go to Salon 253! What I appreciate is that they take special detailed care to make sure your hair cut and color is what you're looking for and the ladies are all so friendly and sweet too.

The salon is located in the same strip mall as Pro Nails and JS Kuge Jeweler (Lower Main & Hookahi Streets.) There's plenty of parking right out front, especially since the strip mall is about 60% empty. The inside looks like a homely living room, with one pedicure chair, a few hair stations, TV, and even a day bed... Maybe for your tired tyke? I've seen the work done on her nails and they look neat and professional. All the little blingy jewels, colors, and art work look pretty intricate! The pedi's run about $45, so I bought four services. It's a solo operation, I believe, so I had to wait a bit to purchase the gift certificate since the owner was performing a pedi on someone. She's very friendly and welcoming, so I can see why my relative likes it here.

I stumbled into this place because I saw a sign for $15 men's haircuts. What I got was a $40 service. I can tell she was very good and comfortable cutting hair. I asked how long she's been cutting hair and she chuckled and said 15 years. Her skill was very apparent when comparing to some of the other hair cut places nearby (specifically the one across the street, they're horrible). Haircut, full head massage shampoo, then a retouch and then you're done. She even wrote down notes on how we cut my hair for next time. Really goes above and beyond.
