I found Salon Dana on Yelp, I reluctantly made an appointment expecting it would be just like any other appointment I have had elsewhere, but it was not. I met with Dovelen, she was pleasant from the start, She listened to my thoughts about my hair and of course I had no idea of what to do with it. After a few questions she gave my positive feedback and ideas. She then started my service. In the end I completely loved my hair! I haven't felt like that in quite awhile. Thank you for being so positive and for making me feel special.

Strange, the worker mentioned to me while washing hair she had graduated from beauty school. But because of instructions, the hair cutting process was slow. Usually it snip,snip,snip. But Dana would mention what angle and why she was doing it and how she was holding my hair etc. It's kinda like when you go to the market and get a trainee with an instructor the process is slow and you try to avoid that line if possible. Except the trainee was not cutting my hair but watching. But I will say this, the cut was wonderful. I washed my hair and it all falls into place with little or no help. But then I guess that is why this place is on the pricey side.

Location easily accessible in Kapolei Cons- my hair was bleached (to remove any remaining box dye) and dyed over. The final color did NOT look any different than my original hair color and I am very disappointed in the time and money spent on it. There is a very subtle difference in direct sunlight but it's barely noticeable. I can chalk that up to me not choosing to go light enough, fine. I was too disappointed by the end result that I didn't notice that the stylist also dyed the right side of my face (about an inch from my hairline to by cheek wide and about 3 inches down in length) and I received a couple chemical burns from the bleach! I now have a patch of hair dye on my face that I am hoping will fade away soon. I didn't notice this until I got home and pulled my hair back behind my ears since it was styled down when I left the salon (covering it). I've tried desperately to cover it with makeup and pull my hair down to try to cover it. My chemical scalp burns I noticed when I ran my fingers through my hair and felt something hard, crusty, and a bit sensitive to touch. This tracks since it was also the part that I felt a strange sensation during the bleaching and I told the stylist that I felt. The color on the majority of my hair after the bleach (not roots) was a lovely brown that I should had just opted for. Instead I was told the color I chose to dye it would be slightly darker than the bleached color which seemed fine. But when my hair was finally finished, I had to hold back tears of disappointment. Overall, they are very nice and sweet but I am beyond sad and disappointed with the end result. I want to go cry some more.

Donna immediately understood exactly what I wanted and got to work. I desperately needed to cover up my grays and get a trim (it had been almost four months since my last salon visit!), and she did an amazing job. I absolutely LOVE my hair! She is also very fast! My previous salon visits at other places felt so long and exhausting. Not here! The salon also has such a nice touch--they offered me water, coffee, and snacks, which was a lifesaver since I had left the house without my morning coffee. Donna is not only extremely talented but also the sweetest! I felt so comfortable, like I'd known her forever. If you're looking for a new stylist or salon, I highly recommend this place--especially Donna! Thank you so much

There's also a couple chairs in front for people to sit and wait. I got the pleasure of having Jazmine service me. She's worked on me before and always did an amazing job.

I've been entrusting my hair to Jenny for a long time! She always perfectly creates exactly the…read morestyle I want! Oh, wait! There's one more thing I want to mention! Until recently, Mehana Salon was located near the Kapolei Costco, but they've since moved to a new location--behind the newly built Hyatt hotel, roughly halfway between Ewa and Kapolei. However, I was really surprised to discover that the current owner of the *old* location--where Jenny used to work--is now using a name that is very similar to Mehana Salon! I actually had to call them directly to verify the details and track down the correct address. Since the names are so confusingly similar, I highly recommend double-checking everything before you make a Appointment with Jenny at Mehana Salon!

I had a very disappointing experience at Mehana Salon with Shari…read more Before she started, I clearly explained what I wanted. I specifically asked for my hair to be cut to about neck length, and I pointed to the exact spot. I also asked for layers because my hair is very fine and straight and doesn't hold styling well. I've had this haircut before, and I know it works well for my hair type. Instead, Shari said she would cut some of the length off before washing it. I was facing away from the mirror when she took out a razor and removed what felt like almost all of my hair in one go. She never showed me what she had done. Instead, she immediately directed me to the shampoo station. After washing my hair, she wrapped it in a towel and had me return to the styling chair. Once again, I was kept facing away from the mirror for the entire remainder of the appointment. She continued cutting my hair for about 25 minutes without ever letting me see the progress or asking for my input. When she finally turned me toward the mirror while drying my hair, I was shocked. I honestly wanted to cry. My hair was much shorter than I had requested and looked like a helmet around my head. It was so short that I couldn't even pull it back into a ponytail to hide it. Because of how it was cut, my naturally straight hair curves inward, and I can't style it the way I normally do. To make matters worse, she didn't ask how I normally part my hair until the very end of the appointment--something every stylist I've been to asks before cutting because it affects the entire haircut. She also told me, "I gave you curtain bangs too," even though I never asked for them. In fact, I specifically avoid styles with hair in my face because I don't like them. A haircut takes months to grow out, and this experience has been incredibly upsetting. I went in asking for a specific length and style and left with something completely different, without being given any opportunity to see or approve the haircut during the process. Please see the before and after photos I have attached

She has this incredible way of bringing my hair back to life every single time -- whether it's refreshing my color, cleaning up my cut, or styling it in a way that makes me feel brand new walking out the door. She listens, she suggests what works best for my hair, and she absolutely delivers. She's in high demand (for good reason), so I always book my appointments months in advance. If you're thinking about seeing her, plan ahead! The salon atmosphere depends on the day -- sometimes it's buzzing and lively, other days it's calm and relaxed. There are multiple stylists working in the space, which adds to the energy. Regardless of how busy it is, Kimmy stays focused and attentive. Perfect color. Seamless cut. Effortless style. I leave her chair feeling confident every single time.

Yay! I found my new salon!…read more I saw this salon one day when we were in the area for happy hour at Moku Kitchen. I was in the market to switch salons after my last salon gave me a haircut I wasn't happy with. When I passed by and saw the prices, I knew I wanted to give them a try. I finally had a chance to go on Sunday and I wasn't disappointed! It's a Japanese salon, but they speak English. They had really relaxing smooth jazz playing which instantly relaxed me. My stylist, Chiko, took a picture of my inspiration picture and asked a few questions. She let me know the cut, shampoo and blowdry would take 1 hour. That was fine with me. It had been over 1 year since my last cut and I am a mom to a toddler and now 4 month old, so I needed some me time! She started with the haircut and was really skilled at what she was doing. She made sure everything was even, and she double checked with me on the length (I actually told her to go a little shorter, and she did). Then came the shampoo - the bowl was at her station which was surprsing and nice. She did a nice job shampooing my hair and massaging my scalp. I felt like falling asleep! Then she blow dried my hair and styled it a little with the brush and some wax at the end. I just love the way she framed my face with layers and I'm in love with my new, shorter, playful cut! The cut was $45, which I thought was very reasonable. I'm excited to have found a quality place at a good price. What's more is that at the counter, they gave me a $1 bill to help pay for parking! I was shocked! Very unexpected and a very thoughtful gesture for their guests. Thank you for the delightful experience. I will be back!

I was in desperate need of a haircut because my last one had not been for about two years, and…read morethings were getting out of control. I found this place online and it came well recommended. Normally, I would not consider a hair salon in a tourist area, nor a Japanese type salon because my hair is definitely white girl wavy. However, because it did come so nicely recommended, I decided to check it out. The staff is definitely from Japan and Japanese speaking, and I know that my hairstylist did not understand much of what I said, but despite that, my haircut was great. The one thing that I did not like was I asked her to put my hair in a ponytail before cutting it off so that I could keep the 12 inches of hair. She didn't understand me - although I said it twice and she nodded like she understood. And then all of a sudden my hair was on the floor, had never been ponytailed, and by then it was too late. The hair treatment before the cut was absolutely luxurious. I got an amazing head massage and shampoo and conditioning. I would go back just to have that done every now and then because I love my head rubbed. It was a bit toasty in the salon that day because it was August Ish, but they were nice enough to aim the fan at me to keep me cool the whole time. My cut came out great, my hair was so happy afterwards, and I would most likely go back again. The price was great as well. The salon was easy to find and they gave me a few dollars towards parking expenses, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend them, but if you have any specific instructions, make sure you find someone who speaks fluent Japanese and English to translate.
