    New haircut and shave
    R S.

    Saw this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. My dad suffered a stroke about 4 weeks ago and just recently was discharged from PT rehab. My aunties tried their best to give him a haircut but one admitted she failed miserably. I'm from California and only here for one day and I'm trying to get my dad situated before I return back home. Thank you so much for taking him as a "walk in". Thank you for being patient with him as he's slow and shaky. He said he looks and feels so much better. I agree

    Updating review for my second visit. This time around I had Sandy as my barber, who I'm assuming is the owner of the barbershop because all the other barbers were calling her bossman. She did a phenomenal job with my haircut. All I needed to do was show her a picture and she hit it spot on. She was also easy to talk to which made the experience that much better. Will be looking forward to them opening at Ka Makana because it'll be closer to my residence which will make it much easier to get a haircut on a scheduled basis. Thanks again Sandy for the cut, will definitely be back and I can officially say I've found my go to barber moving forward ---------------------------------------------------- Just moved to the west side of the island and I was in need of a hair cut for a wedding the next day, so I hopped on Yelp to find a barbershop that can do a mid skin fade with a combover. Da Kinez was one of the first to show up on the search results with nearly 5 star reviews!!! I instantly called in to make an appointment for the same day. The location didn't have much parking spots but fortunately my wife was able to drop me off and she went on to run errands. I waited for about 15 minutes after my reservation time before I got my hair cut but that's always understood for a barbershop which often runs a bit behind schedule. The barber that I was assigned to was Brad. Cool kid with some major skill. I asked whether I should fix my combover with my ideas but recommended to not do it because he said it would be tough and wouldn't make sense. I went with his recommendation and I was happy about the result. Looks like all of the barbers mesh well together and seem to have a real good time, full of jokes and laughs while they cut their customers. Every barber seemed to be pretty good so you'll be taken care of with whomever you are assigned to if you don't have a preference. Appreciate the nice cut Brad, whether it'd be you or someone else next time I come around, I won't be worried about a bad haircut. Sback in 3 weeks!

    I'm very impressed of this barber shop. It is located in a small building across St. Joseph church. It has limited parking structure but is doable. This barber shop seems to be having lots of regular customers & i have figured out why. the barbers are very friendly, local and outgoing. they never make work boring. they always talk to one another while they work and entertain customers and themselves at the same time. i highly recommend you making a appointment, if you don't want to wait for about 30 minutes minimum. they do take their time to make the hair cut and fades etc. so patient is key, when it comes to this barber shop. i believe that they're work is very good and they are all good in what they do. my boyfriend appointment was at 1 o clock. but did not get seated until around almost 1:30 which is okay, because they also do walk-ins as well. according to my boyfriend it is best to go in the morning, then the afternoon because they are quite busy during that time.

    Da Kinez is by far the best barber shop I've been to in at least the past three years. From the top-shelf barbers to the fun atmosphere, I can't imagine their doing much more to craft a better experience for their patrons. Richard spent a total of five hours working to achieve my girlfriend's vision of silver-purple dye for her hair coloring. In addition to that, he cut a fresh trio of designs into her side- and back-shaves, the best of which incorporated her Filipino tribal tattoo. Richard also gave me my first undercut: a dope, original design which incorporated Aztec, Filipino, and Hawaiian elements. I've never been happier with a haircut, and that is all owed to Richard's vision and craftsmanship. Simply cannot recommend Da Kinez highly enough. Definitely coming through whenever I'm in Oahu.

    Nice 3D design.

    This is an update from my original review, and I got you guys pictures. Due to my health issues, I…read morehave been going to DSL by Festival Market. I like it there because they have reserved parking spots for you. My issue with my health requires me to test my blood once or twice a month. One day I went to my favorite lab but there was no open space, so I decided to park on the side. Actually, you can park anywhere and they have reserved parking. I saw this hair salon for guys. Ace of Fades Hawaii. My son always wanted to try those salons, but I always took him to a barber shop. lol As he is getting older, the barber shop he goes to does a wonderful job, but you know when they are teenagers they like to try different places. I know I was like that when I was his age. But I never did go in -- until one day I went to my lab and my son was with me. I told him, "Let's check it out." After my lab appointment, we stopped at the hair shop. As we entered, they greeted us like we were their regular customers. I asked if I needed to make an appointment or if they accepted walk-ins. The guy I was talking to was Ken, and he said they accept both walk-ins and appointments. Their shop looks like a man cave. lol So Ken took my son, and they started talking. I wanted my son to express how he liked his haircut, so I just sat in my chair. While I was there, I noticed they had regular customers. I heard the stylists calling customers by name. That's so great because when they know you, they also know the texture of your hair, which means you'll always get a great haircut. My son showed Ken a picture of the haircut he wanted, and Ken cut it exactly like the picture. He was super happy with his haircut! I pointed out the difference in service between his barber shop and this place. He said he only showed Ken the picture one time and Ken duplicated the haircut perfectly. His barber shop is good, but they tend to do the same kinds of haircuts and have pictures with numbers that you choose from. That's how barber shops are -- but this shop goes for a more defined, personalized style. I asked my son where he wanted to get his haircut next. He wanted to come back to this shop and have Ken cut his hair again. While I was there, they had a lot of customers, so I didn't want to ask to take pictures of the shop because most people don't like to be in photos. That's why I went back another day to get the pictures. For those of you who live on the west side, come try the fade haircuts here. The stylists are very cool, they have a big TV just like a man cave, and they definitely know how to cut your hair exactly the way you want it. And I saw a champion belt.. I asked about the belt and they won the competition.

    Quality fades! Highly recommend! Kenneth and his crew do an awesome job. Fast clean and efficient…read more He took care of me and my kids and they loved their fade. Best fade in the state!

He made zero effort to connect or communicate clearly -- no consultation, no basic customer service, just a rushed and awkward experience. He spoke in technical haircut terms without explaining anything, as if every customer should already know. To make it worse, he didn't even offer the eyebrow service that's advertised on his own website. Nothing about the visit was enjoyable or professional. I won't be coming back and definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.Quality is important but customer service would make a returning business..by the way the haircut is just ok

Highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dylan, was a super cool guy, young entrepreneur, and had great conversation. His gf even stopped in for a lunch date and joined our convo and we all had a great time! Great atmosphere, amazing cut, great conversation, for an affordable price. Can't ask for much more from a barber shop than that.

Told myself oh no, as I wondered where my cutter will go? to another Supercuts location, or worse go to another hair stylist shop and where??? My brother's cutter who also worked at the Waikele shop transitioned to another Supercuts but informed my brother as I asked him to ask where Chau Chau went to. She said to T's Hair Salon in Waipahu. I didn't know where this shop was so I looked at Yelp for the info. Great, I saw it was just to the right of Pacific Supermarket in the Waipahu Shopping Plaza. I called and spoke to Chau Chau and set up an appointment. Went there about 10 minutes before my appointment, and someone within the busy shop told me Chau Chau works at T's Barber Shop (under the same ownership as the hair salon/pedicure/manicure shop) and walked me out and pointed to the building where it was located in the same parking lot) --- building G, which if you are coming in from Farrington Highway, it would be the building at the Ewa end directly upon entering the large main parking lot. Ok, first time there and I see it is quite busy with about 6 cutters working at the 8 seat shop. There were only waiting room for three people due to the limited size of the barber shop. But right outside of the shop, there was a concrete bench to sit down if the wait area was full. The cutter whose work station is closest to the cash register assisted me and I told her I had an appointment with Chau Chau, who has barber's chair 2nd from the back end on the right side (4 seats on left side and 4 seats on right side). As I wait for my haircut, I see and hear the friendliness and comraderie amongst the cutters --- quite friendly and inviting compared to the sterile work conditions at Supercut where normally there is only 1 or at most 2 cutters working during the shift. There were two male cutters that did not appear to be from Hawaii but from out of the state, but their conversations with the other female cutters were kind and loving --- like everyone just 'jelled' working together ! Chau Chau finally cuts my hair and I find out more things about what happened at Supercuts and how she liked working there at T's Barber Shop. She mentioned that the lease for the Supercuts Waikele shop was going to expire at the end of February 2023, so the four cutters were set to transfer to either the Kunia or the Pearl City/Kuala St shops. Chau Chau however chose to work elsewhere and so ended up at the shop. Cuts for men starts at $20 and goes up. Sure, kinda objective as to how much the cut would cost, but being that I hadn't had a haircut in five months, she said the haircut was $25 (which was less than Supercuts). She tells me that she doesn't have to answer phone calls like while at Supercuts, as the phone calls are handled also by that cutter nearest the front register. We had a good time talking and when it was all over, I had my great haircut as usual, and before leaving she told me her work hours and schedule and also gave me her cell phone for which she then texted me her work hours. She works five days a week from 9am to 6pm and said that Sundays she can only accept walk-ins (not by appointments). I am so grateful that she moved to a shop that was near where I lived... roughly the same drive time to Waikele or to here in Waipahu ! You can add your tip while paying at the register by telling the cutter/cashier how much one wanted to tip that cutter... It will be listed on the receipt as a separate entry line 'TIP'...
