    I don't usually write negative review because I know business is important. Okay here's the situation...I'm 66 and gave them all information about my age, my hair being highlighted more than 6 months ago and my grey was back in full color. So, for a special event...I decided I wanted to do Color and cut. And yes,I agreed. Unsure of quality. Vibe okay. $200 for single color as they canceled part of my time because of personal needs. Ok. Understandable. However, don't think it was worth $220? got cheated out of the full service. So I cancelled my future appointment for an updo for short hair, pin flowers in and cut, another $60? And makeup, $175 that would be another $250, plus possible tip? Didn't even finish the first job. Not happy. Could I do my work in 2 hours while you wait and make $200 for same day service? Not for elderly customers.

    DONT GO TO JV SALON and see THE MANAGER JANEEN. IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAIR OR MONEY. If i could rate a 0 star I would. I was unfortunate enough to get my hair done at JV Salon having the WORST experience possible. I don't usually leave reviews, but what happened at JV Salon deserves to be shared so no one else goes through what I did. I spent over $2,800 total ($2,113 for the initial service and another $700 to "add more hair"), to "fix it"and what I was left with is nothing short of devastating. My hair was brutally thinned out to the point of being irreversibly damaged. I walked in with full, healthy hair, and left with thin, broken, lifeless strands that barely resemble what I had. The amount of hair I lost from this appointment is unreal -- it's something I never thought could happen at a professional salon. What makes it even worse is that the person who did this wasn't just a stylist -- they were the manager of the salon. JANEEN. You'd expect the manager to be the most experienced and careful, but instead, I was treated carelessly and left completely heartbroken. There was no accountability but excuses, no genuine apology, and no acceptable effort to make things right. I trusted this salon with my hair, and instead, I walked out with permanent damage and a massive financial loss.

    I booked a Brazilian Blowout service at JV Salon in September 2025 with stylist Taia Darjean, and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a salon. During the service, the chemical solution was allowed to seep onto my neck and sit on my skin. I reported burning pain during the process, but by the time it was rinsed off, I already had visible skin damage. Within 24 hours, I developed a painful chemical burn that I documented with dated photos. I contacted the salon twice the following day and received no response. When I finally got in touch, the stylist left me a voicemail acknowledging it looked like a "chemical burn" and even recommended that I go to the hospital. The salon owner also recommended that I seek medical care. Both of these admissions confirm this was more than mild irritation, it was an injury caused by negligence. Instead of taking accountability and refunding me, the salon refused. They tried to deflect responsibility by saying the stylist was an independent contractor, and the stylist demanded that I provide her with my private medical records before even considering a refund. That is completely unprofessional and inappropriate. No client should ever have to give up their medical privacy just to be refunded for an injury caused by a salon service. I had this same service done at the same salon by the same stylist three months prior without any reaction, which proves this was not an allergy as they tried to claim. Even if it were, the stylist never performed a patch test, which is a basic safety precaution when applying harsh chemicals. Either way, the negligence is undeniable. In total, I paid $346.26 for this service ($246.26 by card and $100 cash). I left not only with damaged skin but also with a salon unwilling to take any responsibility for what happened. I have since filed a formal complaint with the Hawaiʻi Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and provided my bank with documentation of the injury. If you are considering this salon, please think twice. What happened to me was painful, distressing, and completely avoidable if they had taken basic safety precautions and handled the aftermath professionally. No paying client should ever have to go through this. Edit in response to salon's reply: The salon's response here is misleading. I have dated photographs, text messages, and a voicemail from the stylist herself acknowledging that it looked like a chemical burn. Both the stylist and the owner also recommended I go to the hospital, which shows they knew this was more than mild irritation. If the salon truly believed it was an allergic reaction, that only highlights further negligence since no patch test was ever performed. Demanding my private medical records to consider a refund was inappropriate and unprofessional. Clients should not have to give up their medical privacy to be taken seriously after being injured during a service. The facts are clear: I reported the pain during the service, the solution was left sitting on my skin, and I suffered a chemical burn as a result. The attempt to frame this as "unclear" or shift responsibility is unacceptable and dishonest.

    Had an appointment for a trim today with Phoebe. Nice girl, just not impressed with my trim. I usually get my hair cut while it's wet and Phoebe said she'll be cutting my hair dry for her reasons including the texture of my hair... Okay fair, i'm not going to tell you how to do your job, just stating i've always gotten my hair cut wet... Not sure if it's because it was cut dry but i wear my hair in the front as pictured and the right side was continuously longer than the left. I asked her to fix the right side to get it even with the left multiple times, which she did.. After laughing and saying like "oh my goodness" or some remark to that extent. But what got me is her asking if i'm a perfectionist... Not sure where she was trying to go with that but i took it with her getting irritated by me asking to constantly even my hair out? Like yes im a perfectionist, but if im getting my hair cut, i would want it cut and even to how i like. I just thought it was an unnecessary remark that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Pictured is the end result with the right side still being noticeably longer than the left, so I'll most likely buy some shears and try to cut it myself.

    It was my first time here and was recommended by my Lash Technician. I am pretty picky about my hair and had a lot of specifics. BRYAN listened and did it exactly like I wanted. The environment has a very cool vibe that is calming and efficient, staff is extremely helpful and nice. I know you'll leave just as happy as I did. I definitely recommend scheduling here and you will never regret having their service because it was high-class and excellent.

    Quality. Over priced for the results. Had an issue with color went directly to the shampoo & care of it. Was just expecting a $420 service hair color to last for a least 2 weeks. Anyone have any other salon recommendations?

    I always go to Mai at JV salon. Every single time I show her some pictures of what I want and she always understands exactly what I mean. Her work with color is amazing! I've gone from my natural dark to blonde to red or copper and she always gets what I'm asking for. She's always so nice and talkative and it feels like she really cares about her clients and what we want and we talk about. For the work she does, her prices are great. I would recommend booking with Mai if you are looking for a new stylist. The vibes at the salon are very clean and calm. Everyone in there is really nice.

    Do you guys work with African American textured hair?

    Hi no sorry we don’t!

    How much does the Balayage caramel hi lights cost? On a teens hair.

    It depends on the stylist she sees - each stylist has their own prices. Also, the amount of hair plays a factor into the price as well, depending on if they need to make an extra bowl of color

I was told I could either get my deposit back or continue with her assistant team which admittedly is better than her canceling all together and I guess at least she offered my deposit back. I decided to stay with the booking so my bridesmaids would not have to deal with new pricing, although I now wish I had gone with the refund. Please keep in mind I booked a second separate company for myself and 2 of my sisters because I wanted to make sure I was 100% confident in my personal artist. The morning of the wedding was very stressful. Manda's team showed up late and did not begin until roughly forty minutes past the scheduled start time. My biggest issue is that hairstylist also told my mom the MORNING of the wedding that she HAD to wear her natural curls because straightening her hair type would not look good cause of the humidity and said there was no time for any other option (like a blow out, probably cause they had started so late), and she told my mom she could blow it out herself if she wanted and she could "maybe add some curls"). This really upset my mother since she is self conscious about her natural hair and wanted to feel her best for the big day. It created a really unsettling start to our morning and my mom was in tears. Thankfully, a stylist from the other company that I had hired for myself stepped in and helped calm things down. She was able to style my mom exactly the way she wanted and it held beautifully through the night and EVEN into the next day. Without her help the situation would have been extremely upsetting. Because of all this I cannot comfortably recommend this vendor, especially for those who have natural curls or want specific styling. Although Manda herself didn't do this, it's evident her team is not equipped to handle a situation like this.

As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I was worried I might not feel like myself, but Grace Nicole found the perfect balance. I still looked like me, just glowing and beautiful. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and so thoughtful with every detail. On my wedding day, she brought two other artists to help with my bridal party, and they also amazing!

Leading up to the wedding day, they have an online platform to fill out details like the type of skin you have, hair type, and an option to include inspo photos for hair and makeup. They were always quick to respond via email and I thoroughly enjoyed my interaction leading up to the wedding. I requested 3 hair and makeup, 1 bride hair and makeup + trial session, and groom pampering. The services were expected to be completed between 9-12:30 pm. I had my hair and make up trial a few days before my wedding with Erika and it was a wonderful experience. I timed my trial and it took 1.5 hrs to do makeup then hair. I shared some changes I wanted for the wedding day after the fact via email and reminded them of the changes and feedback I shared during the wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding day. We drove over an hour with traffic to the venue, on my way there and received a call and text from Erika informing me that her hair stylist was running late. This is understandable, we are human and traffic is unpredictable so okay that's fine. They were expected to be set up at 8:45 am, with us arriving at 9 am. We all arrived at 9 am ready to go and make up started. However, hair was delayed and I could tell that they were getting stressed with the time. There were some comments made while I was getting ready that didn't sit right with me and I brushed it off at the time. After having a really good vibe during the trial, the wedding day felt off. I was also disappointed neither me nor my bridal party were informed they were leaving before doing touch ups and putting my veil in. I ran back after photos and they were gone :( After the fact, someone from my bridal party mentioned to me how they said they wished they spent more time on me and how they just ran out of time. They're definitely great at what they do and have tons of experience in the bridal industry. I think and hope I had an isolated experience.

Lisa and Ipo really took their time to ask questions about how I wanted my makeup and hair while also getting to know me. It was such a delight. On the wedding day, Lisa, Ipo and a third hair stylist, Haunani were on time and did such an amazing job bringing my hair and makeup + my bridesmaids hair and makeup dreams come true. My hair and all of my bridesmaids hair looked just like the inspiration pictures we showed Lisa and Haunani - still amazed by both their talents. Ipo did all of our makeup (7 of us total) and my goodness were we flawless! Our makeup lasted all day! I also usually dont wear a ton of makeup and Ipo made sure to add a lot of coverage without it feeling or looking like it - really impressed. If you getting married in Oahu and are looking for professional hair & makeup stylists and supporting a local business, book with Erika and the wonderful Perfectly Made team. They will not disappoint and make you feel so beautiful. Thank you so so much Erika, Ipo, Lisa and Haunani for everything.
