Color Lounge - Haircut - Waxing Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Got a terrific haircut from Zenia! She knew just how to treat my menopausal hair, which can't take much color, using a low bleach, all natural formula and just nailing it the first time I came in. I'll be back! read more

Zenia is THE BEST!!! Whenever I leave her chair, I leave feeling like a BOMBSHELL! Whether I'm going full blonde, baylage, or brunette she always zeros in on the PERFECT shade! Also, if your hair is ever tangly she can get all of the knots out! She is a talented hairstylist and wizard! read more

A lonnnngggg overdue review but Tasha was so so good! Back in June last year my boyfriend and I wanted to donate our hair that we let grow out during the covid times... We went and got our hair cut by Tasha, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did she give both of us great new haircuts but she also helped us donate our hair to a worthy cause. Tasha's expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, and I felt completely at ease in her capable hands. Tasha's friendly and professional demeanor put us at ease, and I felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. Overall, I would highly recommend Tasha. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our new haircuts, and her generosity in helping me donate my hair to a good cause was the icing on the cake. Even though I'm moving out of the Kaimuki area soon - I'd definetly make the drive back to see Tasha. Also, the color lounge sells Davines products which are *chefs kiss* read more

Color Lounge - Love love my hair!!! Janel at Color Lounge never disappoints!! - Waxing Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Such a wonderful experience. Janelle to the rescue! I recently had an unfortunate incident at another salon that Janelle was able to correct. My blonde hair was in really bad shape and Janelle knew exactly how to remedy the issue and get me back on the right track. In addition to being about the most delightful person, she is professional and truly knows her craft. I highly recommend her! Also, the salon is cosy, charming and overall great environment. I am really glad that I found Color Lounge. Thanks so much for the great experience! read more

I absolutely love this salon. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are in a colorful sanctuary! The quality of everything from the massaging chairs for a hair rinse down to the hand sanitizer is 100% on point! (but seriously the chairs that massage while you get the shampoo rinsed are so A+!) I love coming here. My stylists name is Tasha and she is the best colorist I have ever had (and I am extremely picky). Tasha is super knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do and what color works best. She is like a hair scientist/magician! I highly recommend coming to this salon. The products they have chosen to sell are also some of my personal favorites. Very good quality and good for the environment as well. Do yourself a favor and come visit this place. read more

I couldn't ask for a better stylist than Zenia!!!! She is truly the best. Not only is she super sweet, she executes what I want perfectly every time.

The ship is clean, has a great vibe to it, and is definitely the best on the island. I've been to a lot of shops and a lot of stylists, but will never go anywhere else again! read more

I went into the Color Lounge yesterday for my very first Brazilian blowout and I was seen by Janelle. First, I want to speak on the location of the salon. It is very easy to find, and parking was no issue at all. (It's free, and conveniently right behind the salon.) The salon is so bright and welcoming. Very modern, clean and VEGAN products are used! Now to the service. Janelle was exceptional! She answered all of my questions about Brazilian blowouts, as this was my first time having one. She was very pleasant to be around, knowledgeable, and professional. My hair turned out exactly as I imagined. Very shiny, straight and so, SO soft! Thank you so much Janelle! I can't wait to come back in 12 weeks for a touch up! read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I am appalled at the service I have just received. I booked a root touch up and style, but left with 1 - 2 inch thick lines of heavy black dye below the root line all over my forehead, ears and neck. The stylist plastered the dye on my forehead but was not able to remove it. After she had styled my hair, and indicated that she was finished, I pointed out that while I was happy with the color, I was not happy with the very obvious dye lines still on my forehead. I then sat there for twenty minutes while she scrubbed away at the dye with baby wipes, leaving my forehead raw and sore. She was not able to remove it, so I will be forced to wear a baseball cap until the dye on my forehead & neck fades. I am appalled that I was required to pay for this and will not be returning to Color Lounge. read more

I found Janelle while looking around for a color specialist here on island that really masters the art of blonde coloring. I had decided to try transitioning from a darker medium blonde to full Icy blonde and after seeing all the amazing work that Janelle has done, I had to book an appointment with her! I was very hesitant to completely try a new look, and one of my primary concerns was that my hair remain healthy and shiny as I usually try to keep a long layered style. Janelle is very knowledgeable and took her time explaining to me the lifting process with honest and clear details. Ever since that first appointment with Janelle, I have been incredibly happy with my gorgeous blonde results and amazed at how she has continued to maintain my healthy long hair with extreme care and quality products. Janelle is an amazing artist and I highly recommend her! read more

Awesome stylists, great location, and they use vegan products! I'm not aware of any other shops that do, so that's pretty cool.

I had my first appointment with Janelle today for a color, cut & blow dry and look forward to going back! My appointment reminder included valuable information like the free parking in back. I drove over from Kailua and found parking easily. The salon is welcoming and colorful. The ambiance is SO relaxing and just what I needed after a stressful week. Janelle is a clear communicator and I felt confident about my appointment from the get-go. She professionally matched my color. There is a super clean restroom inside the salon which is always a plus. The staff were all very friendly and I'm so happy to have found this new salon. read more

I came in for a brazilian blowout for the first time at Color Lounge. I haven't been able to find a salon that does brazilian blowout on the island. When I came across their page, I figured to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. We started later than my appointment time but Janelle had something to deal with that was out of her control which I understand (it happens!). She was extremely apologetic about it. Janelle was so much fun, extremely professional, and super efficient. I was out the door within the hour. I chatted with her about potentially getting my hair colored and she showed me something she had in mind for me right away. I'm coming back next month for my balayage! read more

THANK YOU to Janelle for assisting in my "mom makeover" This has to be the BEST haircut I have received. In all the years I've spent getting my hair done, it has never felt so fresh and healthy! I love how she explained everything she did, from the cut to the color. She made sure to let me know what she was doing and why! Which I think is so reassuring especially when trying a new salon. Janelle has come highly recommended to me, by my own mom. And what can I say, moms are ALWAYS right! Color lounge is definitely a must try! read more

I love Janelle! She cares about her clients! She was able to squeeze me on short notice while I visited island. She listens to what you ask for and then will exceed your expectation. I live in San Diego but will probably just always fly back to come to Janelle! She gives you the family feel and her new shop is beautiful. I would give 100 stars if I could. read more

When I relocated from SF to Honolulu, I was on the hunt for a new colorist. After trying two other salons with meh results, I was referred to Janelle and Color Lounge and I immediately knew I had found my match. There is a reason Color Lounge was awarded best of Honolulu 2023 salon...not only is Janelle an expert colorist (I have dark brown hair that she has transformed with beautiful golden highlights/balayage), but she is also a kind and wonderful person. I have observed her to work magic on all types of blonds as well and somehow, she is able to get me in and out of her chair for my monthly touch up appointments faster than any other colorist I have ever been to. Having been to many fancy salons in SF and SoCal (one of my previous colorists is literary a celebrity stylist) over the decades I have been coloring my hair, I can wholeheartedly say that Janelle is the best colorist I have ever been to! read more

My daughter wanted to highlights for Christmas. I have no idea how to go about this. Janelle was amazing she help guide me to the perfect look we wanted. She took such great care of my daughter and her hair looks absolutely fantastic all tho it does make her look more grown up but I need to let her fly. The salon was so easy to find. They have free parking located in the back. The ladies who work there was so friendly and super welcoming. The atmosphere felt like a girls hang to get together and relax. It was super clean and so cozy. The massage chair (where they wash your hair and massage your and scalp tempos) was wonderful. Hands down a great first experience and will definitely be back for my own hair appointmet. I highly recommend you come here for your hair needs. read more

So I googled hair salons in the kaimuki area , it's always the question which one to choose and color lounge caught my eye so went with it , I was impressed wth janelles bio , tho since she was so booked I went with kalie !! AND SHE WAS AWESOME!! She is so talented!! finally found someone that listened and did what I wanted !! She color/highlighted and cut my hair, I luv luv luv it!! Her talent shines along with her fun upbeat personality !! You'll love her!! THANKS KALIE!!! Great salon great vibes!! read more

It was my first time here last year as this place was recommended by a friend. I liked my highlights. Why the 3 stars? When I came home and realized my blouse had specs of color that was impossible to get out. Not sure if this occurred after they shampoo my hair and perhaps it was a new employee, but I was very disappointed. More so since it was not brought to my attention until I came home and saw it myself. I have not been back since then. Hope this salon has gotten better. read more

This salon is the best. If you have damaged unruly hair ask about smoothing treatments.. If you're just in need of maintenance ask for a trim or toner refreshing or even if you want some awesome coloring.. Color lounge is the place to be.. They even have vegan cruelty free hair products.. ask for Janelle.. read more

I saw Tasha for highlights, toner, and a cut/blowdry. Omg she has a technique with thw foils that got the highlightstight right up to my scalp with no lines of demarcation and all perfect framing my face. My hair is black being asian, Caucasian and Hawaiian and she got it the full on light ash blonde in this one appointment. Her trim also perfect as well as blow out. Usually one thing is off with other stylists Ive seen, like the highlights will be great but you suffer through the crappy blow out and always skip the cut lol but with Tasha all of it was perfect. Im super stoked on her highlight ability to get it all tight up to my scalp like that, its a big deal to me:) very happy! read more

I just switched stylists. I found and just LOVE Janelle! Professional, flexible hours, great appointment availability, very friendly, dependable, extremely talented and I completely trust her! I went there for highlights and being blonde, I don't have the healthiest hair. Walked out looking like a star! She completely understands your concerns and needs as a customer. She doesn't rush, pays attention and her first concern is the health of one's hair. Her products (she also has vegan products) and her salon rock, so does the rest of her team (my husband got the best haircut ever from another stylist in the salon). I highly recommend this salon! read more
