I decided to have my hair highlighted for the first time in my life, exactly 3 days before my wedding, in a town where I knew no one. Luckily, yelp led me to Amanda- an amazingly talented and sweet stylist who not only answered my numerous questions, but put my mind at ease with her confidence and patience. I have brown hair and wanted very subtle caramel highlights that would mimic sun-kissed beach hair. She mixed the perfect color and checked on them diligently to ensure they weren't getting too light (my biggest fear!) When she felt we were getting close, she unwrapped, cleaned and dried the strand and confirmed I was happy with the color before she did the rest. Amanda deserves 5 stars because she listened to me, made intelligent and kind suggestions based on her experience and great eye for detail. She not only did a wonderful job on the color, but she sweetly took the extra time to calm my nerves and took me outside with a hand mirror to make sure I was 100% satisfied when she was finished. I was! I knew from our phone conversation when I was calling around to find a salon, that she would do a great job. She exceeded my expectations! Although the shop was busy during my appointment, she gave me all of her attention, never appeared flustered or rushed, and treated me like I was one of her best regulars, although we had just met. Amanda genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to get exactly the look they desire. I only wish I could take her with me back home! I am so grateful to yelp for helping me find Amanda. I can recommend her without hesitation and wish I hadn't already booked someone to do my hairstyle for my wedding because I know she would do a wonderful job. :) read more

I highly recommend Amanda. She came in on her day off to do my hair for my wedding. She will make you feel comfortable & welcome. I would recommend her to anybody looking for any hair services in Maui. Thank you, Amanda you are awesome! read more

Maui Modern Hair - my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

See all

I found Amanda on a recommendation for a friend. We spoke over the phone and went into great detail about the colors used in my hair, current issues with breakage, services I was looking for etc. and she quoted specific prices which seemed fair and we set up an appointment. The 1st appointment my hair color and cut turned out great. I was thrilled that I found Amanda and relieved because it's so hard to find a reliable colorist/stylist. The only issue was that she charged me more than what had been quoted although the services were exactly the same. I just paid it and tipped very generously and decided not to question her about it. The 2nd appointment I went in for exactly the same service/color as the first. This time, she mistakenly turned me from a dirty blonde to a dark brunette with grey "highlights" and cut one side of my hair 1 1/2" shorter than the other. She didn't dry my hair before sending me on my way so I only found out the huge color mistake when I went home to dry and style it myself. I immediately called and went back in later that night so she could try to correct the grey hair color before I left on a vacation the next day. She dried/flat ironed my otherwise curly hair, and that's when it was totally obvious she'd cut one side much shorter than the other. Again I was charged above what she had initially quoted. I decided to give it one more shot and went back for a 3rd appointment 8 weeks later. I only needed a few highlights put in because the dark brunette color had faded enough to where it actually was looking much better, it just needed some lifting at the roots. I was turned into a bleach blonde with white/grey "highlights" and where the lowlights used to be it was now orange - even after purple shampoo. I was left to sit and process while she did a co-worker's hair color, which I'm assuming is why mine came out so over-processed. I showed her the 1.5" difference in length from one side of my hair to the other resulting from the last cut, but although she acknowledged it, no offer of a refund or credit was made. I was again over charged for putting 1 color in my hair. I had been quoted $75 originally and she charged me $101. My hair feels like straw now, and I have to go to another stylist in a day to put the lowlights back into my hair and to break up the white and orange streaks. I am very disappointed that after showing Amanda numerous photos of how my hair looked previously and what I liked/wanted it to look like - outside of the very first appointment it went from one wrong extreme to another. Also as a small business owner myself I find it totally unethical to quote one price and charge another for services. Especially services that weren't provided as asked for. It will likely take a year for me to correct the lop-sided cut which is devastating because the most important part of me finding a new stylist was to find someone who could help condition my hair and help me to grow it as long as possible. read more

I visit Maui about twice a year, and always wait to get my hair cut until I am in Maui, because Amanda does a fantastic job - better than any salon I've tried in the San Francisco area (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, Los Altos). I have thick curly hair that's hard to cut and when I get a standard or mediocre cut, it really shows. Amanda takes a lot of care to get it just right, and I have always come out of her salon very happy. She also really listens to find out what it is you want. Amazingly, she even got the cut right the very first time I saw her - she is that good! But she is also a pleasure to deal with. After two years of seeing her, I finally felt compelled to write a review after seeing her work with a bride. I got to my appointment a bit early, and she was finishing up. The bride was super happy. I recommend Amanda highly - to brides and non-brides :-) read more

Thank you Amanda for making my hair look so great..see you soon! read more

Amanda is an amazing hair stylist. She's been cut/coloring/highlighting my hair since I moved to Maui last year. She also did my hair and makeup for my maternity photos and it came out perfect, she actually got curls to STAY in my hair (they never do). I have never left the salon unhappy. She takes the time to make sure your hair looks perfect when you leave. Her prices are fair: not the cheapest on island, but also not the most expensive. You get what you pay for, and you definitely get quality service. Also, I used to have to color my hair more often when I went to other salons, but she uses quality product that lasts longer. Definitely give her a call, she works at a salon near the Tesoro in Kihei. read more
