Let me say this was definitely an amazing and relaxing experience that has rejuvenated my skin. Definitely can't wait for my next facial. Terri was great she informed me what she applying on my face and benefits of these products. This service also included a hand and foot massage, which was a treat because I had no idea this service included that. I also had a hair appointment for the first time with Summer. She too was great! I'll definitely be seeing her again for my next hair appointment. Both Terri & Summer were pleasant to talk with. I've been a customer at Ho'ala Salon and Spa for a few years. I've had services with Emi, and upon her leaving she referred me to Peaceful. Both women were great stylist, and have always had a great experience. I enjoy the complimentary hot tea as well.

I just can't do it. I don't want my friends, family or clients to experience something like that. The customer service at the front has just continues to decline. It's sad, because I love my stylist but I can't tolerate the rudeness and lack of customer service. I mentioned it to my stylist which I know is out of her control. She recommended I use online to avoid having to use the reception for assistance. But a few times the site crashed on me with an oops message. This review is not to place blame just to fairly warn that if you are choosing to go here please don't have the expectation that customer service at the reception desk is wonderful...otherwise I love Ho'ala!

Think of the episode of Seinfeld titled "The Barber". In this episode, Jerry gets a bad haircut after trying to avoid his regular barber, Enzo, by getting a cut on Enzo's day off and seeing his brother to cut his hair. Well that's what kind of happened to me. I had a bad haircut from my "regular" hair-stylist, so I went to someone else who's name is Janet. I've been with her ever since. I really like this place she ended up because there is lots of parking and they validate for 3 hours so after I cut my hair, I can hangout and get a bite to eat which is pretty cool in downtown Honolulu. This place rents chairs out to different individuals. Come down and check out Janet or one of the other talented hair-stylists.

This review is of my experience with Mitzi. I am extremely…read moreupset. Though I was given an acceptable haircut. Mitzi, obviously in a rush, failed to properly measure my hair for a hair donation. The whole reason I decided to cut my hair short was to donate my hair (for the 3rd time)to Wigs for Kids. However, instead of the minimum 12 inches, she cut 10 1/2 when she was more than capable of slowing down, measuring, and cutting off the appropriate amount. Over 3 years of growth absolutely wasted because she couldn't take her time. Wigs for Kids and a child with hair loss will have one less wig because Mitzi did not care. When I called to let her know, she was extremely dismissive and offered an insincere apology. I will not be back. I do not recommend Mitzi or a salon that does not care about providing the bare minimum.

My hair has been looking quite shabby and I needed a haircut. I've had bad luck with haircuts…read moremy entire life....so much that I dread it more than going to the doctor's. I finally found a place that does my hair so well every time that I've been going there for 3 years. That place is Raiz. I see Hitomi about 3 times a year for about $80/cut including tip. Unfortunately, I've been unemployment for the last 6 months and can't afford that luxury. The thought of having to try a new place set butterflies in my tummy...eek! I thought about going to K's in McCully because Ethan T's review was so good but he's a guy! Who knows how they would handle a girl's hair haha. My friend suggested KS hair studios and her hair looks gorgeous so I thought I'd give it a try. It's right before Tsunami's on S King St on the right side and there's meter parking right in the front. The salon is pretty roomy and very clean. The hairdresser, whom I didn't get her name, was very friendly. She asked me what I wanted and I told her I wanted a lot of volume because my hair is so thin. I'm so envious of full bodied haired girls!! Anyway, she blow dried my hair first (no shampoo) and went right into cutting. I think if you wanted a shampoo you can request it but I just washed my hair so no need. Her hands were very skilled and fast. I could tell she knew what she was doing! Within 20 minutes, my new fobby Korean hair was done AND with lots of volume!! I came straight out of a Korean drama! Interesting how fobby Japanese hair can be differentiated from fobby Korean hair. It's a little hard to explain on paper but you can just tell. I liked it because not only did it look good, it was a slightly different look for me. The owner told me she learned how to cut hair in Korea and had the salon for 8 years already!! How did I not see this store before? Then came time to pay and it was only $25!!! How awesome to have such a great hair cut for under $30!!! So what if she didn't shampoo my hair or give me a massage!! I just wanted a haircut. And what more, I have about an hour left of the time I allotted for this haircut, since Raiz takes forever, to go eat! I highly recommend this salon for those who like fobby styles. If you're not looking to get pampered and just want a cheap but awesome haircut, please come to KS!

It's best you bring a picture to show her what u want. I honestly I'm not too picky with hair cut, I usually ask for trim, layers & volume and every time I've gone there she had delivered. I really like the way she cuts your hair and at a reasonable price too. Women's hair cut, wash & style is $35. She also uses scissors to cut & layer your hair, where as other place I've been they use a razor comb to layer your hair, which leaves you with a lot of split ends. Will be going back when it's time for hair cut!

If you're thinking about trying something different with your hair, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. I'm glad I went for it and would do it again.

I appreciate it so much when a stylist can look at an inspiring photo & get close to mastering that achieved look. This is where Brandon, my Awesome new stylist comes in! I had gone to Mehana Salon in my town city of Kapolei where the stylist there (Nani) had effe'd up my hair. I paid her $500 plus a generous tip to do a honey & ash blonde balayage. Well turns out she not only knew My hair was thin but foil/fried the shit out of my hair! This was NO Balayage! I got Full highlights with very little to non toner at the end! My husband & All My kids hated it! I looked 10 years older & The bottom line, She couldn't care less but she lost my families business that was seeing her for over 20 years! Anyhu, Ladies & Gentlemen back to Thee Wonderful Fantastic Ava Salon & The Awesome staff here. All so very polite & friendly... even their little poodle pup. I showed Brandon the hideous haircolor & cut that Nani at Mehana Salon gave me. & I did explain to Brandon that it took me a year and a half to grow it out with several Keratin treatments & hair trims. I'll insert the picture of before (the ugly) & after Brandon at Ava Salon had worked his hair magic on me. I gave Brandon 2 photos that surely did come from Ava's Salon. One was caramel balayage & the other was Mocha balayage. I told him i didn't want the upkeep for the moment so no ash blonde balayage please. & I gave him the reins to do his best & told him I trusted him with his color combo. He did just that. He put me at ease & Walked me through the first few steps of process & Also told me that he was gonna add foils but nowhere near leaving me under a dryer. It came out BEAUTIFULLY done. && Way under the cost that Nani at Mehana Salon took from me. Ladies, Gentlemen & Teen kids if ya'll are looking for a salon that razzle dazzles you then come here. My girls & I are now ongoing clients from here on out. It's soo worth the drive.

Made an appointment with Edy, owner of The Myxx, and true to form, I received clear instructions--via text--regarding parking, entering building, etc. I immediately felt comfortable and confident knowing that I would be well prepared for the day of visit. PARKING: Easy to find a spot, as there are designated stalls as well as street parking. Be sure to sign in upon entering. BUILDING: Waze app was awesome in leading me right to the venue. I liked knowing the building is secured; a code is needed to enter. SALON: Located up a few stairs (beautiful entry way); glass doors show you the way in to an intimate, cozy space. Edy had a hand in the design of the space: earthy tones with a nice mix of urban and modern lines. Such a comfortable spot! It's obvious that Edy takes pride in her space, as the salon is clean and everything has its place. CUSTOMER SERVICE: We were offered something to drink upon entering. (Not used to that kind of service at a salon) Charmaine assists with a great hair wash and massage. Edy worked diligently and checked in with my daughter to ensure they were both on the same page. In the end, my daughter was thrilled with her healthy cut and styling. I just learned that The Myxx has a part-time barber, appointment only: Thursday-Saturday. I'll be bringing my son in for sure!
