Last month, I went on vacation to the mainland. Stopped in at my old salon to have them color my…read morehair. Showed them a picture of the look I was going for. My hair came out wrong!!! Called the salon the next day and asked them to fix it. Went in later that week and showed the same pic to a new colorist. I came out looking like the little mermaid. I will say it was fun for a minute, but, again, not what I wanted. After almost a month of living with it, I needed it fixed. It faded drastically and looked like 6 months of grow out. It was horrible! I called Lisa, at The Beauty Spot, and explained my situation. They were booked until December. I asked if she could take my name and number for an earlier cancellation. She said she would talk to her team and call me back. Within minutes, she called back and gave me Randi's number. I messaged her with pictures of my hair. She was able to schedule me, three days later, to fix my color. The day of my appt, I showed Randi the color I was going for. I'll be honest, I was nervous and praying the third time was the charm for my hair color. Randi was awesome! She took a few minutes to really look at my hair to see what was done. I think she sensed my nervousness and explained what she was doing. She told me it would be a two step process to fix. Randi was super cute and wouldn't let me watch. She turned me away from the mirrors. The rest of the team was excited for what was happening with the color. Then came time for the "big reveal". WOW!!!!! Randi......WOW!!!!! She is fantastic!!! My hair color was perfect to what I wanted. My hair also looked and felt so much better. It didn't feel like it had been processed three times in a month. I'm so in love with her work! I'm now a forever client!!!!! Thank you, so much, for taking great care of me and giving me the color I wanted!!!

Loved my cut. Professional and chill. Will be back again! Very accessible with parking.read more

Arianna Joy is amazing!!! She did such a beautiful job on my hair!!! She got them magic hands!!!…read more So first off I just wanted to say that I don't normally cut my hair on the island. I would only cut my hair when I traveled abroad. I know it's weird but that was how it was for me. I always wanted to grow my hair out but as I was growing up my Asian mother wouldn't let me. So I would always get my hair cut from a salon and it was always a very short style too! :( So I had this short tomboyish look which made me felt like I look like a boy. Once I gotten teased because it looked like a mullet. Anyways long story short, I was pretty much traumatized from my experiences of have short hair styles and never did I ever wanted to cut my hair here again!!! Like EVER!!! So Ari is the second person I have gone to for a haircut since I've become an adult. You know that trust with my hair from the past still makes me wary of going to a salon. Prior to this time, I went to a Japanese salon and it wasn't bad but I didn't LOVE it. It was just good enough. But that was still 4 years ago when I went to him. The only reason I cut my hair was because it was super hot during that summer of 2015. This time I just wanted a change and decided to go see Ari and I tell you I LOVE IT!!! Everything she helped me do was just how I wanted it and I'm very indecisive when it comes to my hair because I never know what to do even though I wanted a change. I always do the same thing but Ari was so patient with me. The overall experience was fabulous and I will definitely come back to see Ari and always recommend her to anyone!!!

It was a hot, muggy day, and I was tired of putting my hair up in a bun again with a headband. Decided to cut my hair, and looked on Yelp for beauty shops near me... Called Salon 96816 and left a message... next day received a call from Michelle and set up my appointment! Luckily found street parking right in front, and walked in. Nice and spacious, bright and clean... Michelle is so down to earth and easy to talk to. Showed her a few pictures of what I was looking for, and she explained what it takes to maintain those styles. When she took me for my wash, I almost fell asleep from the amazing scalp and neck massage. 45 minutes later, I walked out of there feeling like a Disney princess. I am in love with my cut, and my hubby was pretty happy also.

My husband surprised me on my birthday and took me to Salon 96816 for me to get my hair done. All…read morethe ladies there are so nice & friendly. As you walk in they all greet you. My hairstylist was Erika Fury. She took my temperature, offered me water or a drink, then assessed my hair and asked what I wanted to do with my hair. Its been a while since I did my hair due to COVID. I did however cut my hair short during the summer since it was so hot. I needed a change so I wanted to go lighter like a balayage type. My first session Erika highlighted my hair. The service was great and It was relaxing to be able to have time to just sit there for a few hours since I'm always working. Erika suggested going back after 2 weeks for a second session. During the 2 weeks I noticed my hair getting lighter. I went back for my second session and I believe she did a process to make my hair lighter then toned and did a smudge processes which took about 4 hours. After she was done I was so happy with the way my hair looked and felt. She did recommend using a purple shampoo which helps the color and keeps hair light and Olaplex bonding oil to keep hair healthy and shiny, and coming back after 6-8 weeks and see how light my hair gets and what my next hair goals were. (I kinda want to go lighter, maybe try lavender. But we shall see in the next few weeks) Erika also does hair and make up for events and weddings. So if you need a MUA and hairstylist she's the one! Thank you Erika and Salon 96816 for making me feel and look amazing! I will definitely recommend all my friends and family to them to get their hair done!

My haircuts with Mie are always fun and the staff are always encouraging and give great advice on what hair would look good on your face and even adjusting styles to see what would look better! I always get my hair cut by her and she always does an amazing job. I'm always amazed at the precision and skill it takes to pull off the hair styles I want but she never fails to deliver. She also is so good about recommending styling product and heat tools to use if your hairstyle is high-maintenance. Mines is pretty high-maintenance but she always guides you on how to style yourself so that you look good every day not just after your hair appointment!

There's usually plenty of parking so it's a convenient location, just off the freeway near Kahala Mall. Hint: the salon is upstairs! Tammy works so quickly and she's always fun to chat with while I'm in the chair. I trust her to give me advice on what to do or not to do. She's great at cutting "strategic layers" instead of just lobbing away like some other places will do. Her cuts stay looking great for a long time after! In terms of coloring, she's also expert at that. I've had highlights and all over color from her. Always a great outcome! The first time I went red, she held off on making it super red just in case I didn't like it and when we went into the sun to check it out she asked if I wanted to go more dramatic and she was totally fine (and really nice about) adding more color even tho she'd already washed and dried my hair. That's truly professional and "cares about clients' happiness" approach to hair. I can't recommend this place enough.

Sheryl G. was very humble and patient. She listens well to customers needs - That's something very rare that other stylists; even owners lack, due to fake; over-enlarged egos. Sheryl G. is truly careful when using clippers and can create a custom style for you. I highly recommend you experience her technique because she has so much positive energy!
