A great place for eyebrow threading in town! I was looking for a new, affordable place to try and found this place on yelp. Parking is in the Like Like Center - the shop is located upstairs above Like Like Drive In. I called the day before to make an appointment and walked in right before the next day! The service was great and the lady who did my brows was experienced. I asked her to just clean up my brow shape and she did exactly what I asked for! For $18 ($20 with tip), it can be pricey, but is around the average price for brows in Hawaii. I would definitely go back! read more

MAY IS AMAZING! She took her time cutting my hair and I have to say this is the best haircut I've ever gotten. Great price. Great location. Great service. read more

May's Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found out about May's through Groupon, spent a lot of time yesterday calling around for pricing on a basic women's haircut and I'm honestly so surprised at how pricey salons charge for a simple cut, so I'm glad that they had this offer up available. The service that I purchased came with a shampoo hair wash, wet haircut, blow dry and basic styling. Now prior to this haircut, my hair was seriously damaged and brittle because of harsh bleaching and I was sick and tired of not having moveable and breathable hair. My hair was very long, almost past my butt and every salon I had called said the price would go up depending on the length of my hair which doesn't make very much sense to me but thanks to Groupon, it was a fast and easy transaction of $30! I called and asked about the groupon and they said I didn't need to purchase it through there, they would just price match me in the store so I asked to schedule for an appointment and they were able to have me in the same day! I requested for Tao since on their yelp, majority of the pictures posted by other Yelpers were done by him. He was very nice and I basically put my trust in him for this haircut. He asked me what I wanted and MADE SURE he cut off just the right amount being that he knew I hadn't cut my hair in a long time, he wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied. Tao told me that this salon is fairly new but he has been a hair stylist for about a decade. I would definitely recommend to a friend or family member and would definitely come back! read more

Tao has been doing my hair for about a year now and I just love how he does it! I come regularly for conditioning treatments (my hair is so dry) and hair cuts, but I've even come before parties sometimes for him to style it. He's colored it a few times too. All around fabulous. Winnie did my hair once too and was also great. The whole team is so nice and welcoming. I've never not been able to get an appointment; they are so accommodating. I wish I could come once a week for Tao to do my hair! Excuse the selfie, but I think pictures are helpful--so here's the before and two after shots. Mahalo May's Salon! read more

I have finally found my go-to salon on island! I found this place out on a whim thanks to Groupon because another local salon failed in communication. Just one phone call here was enough for me to set up a spontaneous haircut appointment only 90 minutes from then! Anna picked up my call, so she serviced me when I arrived. The Groupon I used, which customers do not have to purchase in advance, covers shampoo, haircut, and blow drying. I showed Anna a Pinterest photo of the layered cut I wanted, and she obliged! A bonus was that she voluntarily suggested that I try coloring my hair, fixing me specific shades that would go well with my natural hair color. She was understanding of how apprehensive I was feeling, so she didn't force the hair coloring service on me. A frequent buyer card for new patrons is available for the first 9 women's haircut @ $30, followed by a free 10th haircut! I'll be back! read more

I purchased a Groupon for this place for $29. The Groupon came with a deep shampoo, haircut and styling. I called to schedule an appointment and was able to book my haircut on the same day. The salon is located on the 2nd floor of the shopping center where Like Like Drive Inn and Honolulu Sushi are located. Parking is limited in the shopping center, but metered street parking available in the neighborhood surrounding the shopping center. My stylist was Winnie. She was very punctual and started at the time my appointment was scheduled. I showed her what I wanted and she gave some feedback on what would look best for my hair and face shape. She was not especially talkative, but she did take the time to ensure she did a good job. Overall a positive experience at a good rate. Recommended for people looking for a good hair salon at a reasonable price. P.s. After I used my Groupon, they offered an additional promotional rate for the next time I visited! read more

Having had my eyebrows threaded the other day, I saw Tao do an awesome job on a woman's hair. Knowing I was way overdue for a cut, I returned to the salon and asked if he could cut my hair. I did come unannounced and although he could not see me then, offered a later time. That was great because it afforded me time to go to the mall with my kid. I showed Tao a picture of what I wanted but was open to his suggestions. I usually like my hair long, but when it gets too long, it's straggly. He was quick with the cut and I thank my lucky stars I didn't fall asleep. He curled it partway which I told him I do on special occasions. Plus I don't blow-dry so I know he was considerate of a cut that doesn't need that. Appointments are necessary. I was amazed for a Wednesday how busy he was. This is a small salon above LikeLike Drive Inn on Keeaumoku. Parking can somewhat be tight depending when you go. Cuts start at $35 which is more than reasonable. read more

I am very happy with how my hair turned out! The whole experience was so nice and relaxing. I got was I asked for and more. I have never been so satisfied with a hair salon before but I will definitely be going back! read more

Found my new hair salon!! I scored a Groupon for a wash cut add style and now this will be my go to salon. Anna was my stylist and she did a great job on my hair. She styled it perfectly as well. I'm so glad I found such a great salon. The price for my cut was also very reasonable. read more

I've been coming here for a little over a year now. I found their business through Groupon. Their shop is straight cut and no frills which I like. I can call a day or even the day of and if they have availability, they can take me in the same day. May did my hair first and she even curled my hair without paying extra. Love this shop. read more

I got a Groupon deal for a cut, dry and style. It was only a couple dollars cheaper from their regular price, so that definitely caught my eye in a good way. I hate having my hair cut because of childhood hair trauma courtesy of my short-hair-loving mom, so I like to make the whole process as simple and affordable as possible without getting a bad experience. I booked a 2pm appointment for the Saturday before Memorial Day. The salon is on the second floor, right above Like Like Diner. Had to wait a little, but I was assigned to Anna (I think? I am horrible with names!). First thing I realized is that everyone, including the other customers, is speaking Mandarin Chinese. I can understand a bit since it was my first language, but unfortunately suck at it as an adult (been meaning to relearn!), so wasn't confident enough to speak to anyone in Mandarin. But the owners are from mainland China. So I do feel like I have some sort of connection! More importantly, they would have more experience with my course Chinese hair! My hair was shampooed, and I was asked all the standard questions about what I want. Anna (again, I'm sorry if it wasn't Anna!) suggested short layers on the bottom since I told her I had lost A LOT of hair due to losing quite a bit of weight, and it was still growing back. There wasn't much convo, which is fine for me. So I was sort of falling asleep while my hair was being cut. But when she was done, I woke up, and I loved my cut and style! She smoothed out my hair and even knew to curl the ends a bit because my thick hair holds a curl/wave fairly well (this is my personal test for if a hairstylist knows what he/she is doing!). I was given a price list after I paid, and the prices are super reasonable. I might even get my hair colored next time I go (I do it myself most of the time) because it's a great price compared to literally everywhere else! I am very happy with my haircut, and I can tell it wasn't just a simple straight cut like you get at Supercuts. Will definitely be back! read more

May's Salon - Price list as of 2019 - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fabulous place! Very happy with their service. Liked their cuts more that the more pricy salons I've been to

Reasonable price for a quality cut! He took about an hour on my hair cut, shampoo, condition and style. Love it! I really wanted a change from my extremely long hair. I showed him the picture of the style I wanted and he did his magic. read more

I had a Groupon for a cut and style. I just needed my layers trimmed and I even brought in a picture. I'm not sure if the stylist was new but I closed my eyes for a few minutes and when I opened them she was using thinning shears on my naturally curly hair!! DO NOT USE THINNING SHEARS ON NATURALLY CURLY HAIR! I basically look like a poof ball unless I try to do a cute updo. Thankfully hair grows out. I'm sorry but I won't be back read more

Tao is amazing! Earlier today I decided to go get my long hair a slight trim just to take off the dry ends and revive it a little. I went to a place in Chinatown and showed the lady a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like. Basically, it's just a lot of natural looking layers. I asked her to keep it long but she chopped off a good portion of hair and basically completely butchered the cut. As I went home I was feeling unsatisfied as I didn't really know what to think. I guess I never knew what a good haircut was supposed to be but I knew what I had wasn't it. It was horrible, very uneven and choppy and unbalanced. I'd previously gotten my eyebrows done at May's Salon and knew they were open so I decided to stop by. Tao was so kind from the get go. He asked me what I wanted to do to my hair and as soon as I showed him my issue, he completely understood what to do. He explained to me the issues of the haircut and I just asked him to fix it as best as he could. So he washed, cut, dried, and styled my hair. All while letting me know what he was doing and really putting in effort and care into my cut. He could even sense the relief I started to feel once I saw my hair start to actually look nice. And he styled it beautifully and even taught me different ways of drying and styling my hair. I only spent one hair cutting session with him and I really trust him now after the amazing fix up he did to my butchered cut. Thank you so much Tao! read more

Look, I'm posting this because I never want May's to go out of business. It has been a JOURNEY to find a place to cut my boyfriend's hair. He prioritized cost over the actual cut itself (as in he was completely satisfied with a bad haircut if it wasn't over $25) and all the uneven sideburns or awkwardly short patches used to drive me crazy. That's when we found May's. A godsend. Back then, it was $25 for men's haircut and Tao actually knows what he's doing. Boyfriend was pleased when it came time to pay and I didn't have to subtly suggest another haircut a month in. After COVID, the prices have increased to $35 per haircut. That's completely fair and relatively in line with what other shops have done. I can tell that it makes my boyfriend a little sad, but he has honestly gotten so used to seeing his hair in decent shape that even he has been getting on top of scheduling routine haircuts to maintain it. read more

I was in town for one day, they worked me in and gave me the best haircut since I was 18. Tao did an exceptionally good job and I'd consider flying to Honolulu once a year to get a cut from him for sure! read more

My wife & I have been very pleased with Tao's service. Easy to get appointment. Minimal wait time. We will continue to see Tao.

Very happy with my haircut from Anna. She used her expertise and knowledge to recommend exactly what I needed!

I had such a good experience here. They had time available for me to come in. The man who cut my hair did am amazing job. Washed and conditioned well and was very detailed. I didn't have my hair cut in over 5 years! He also straightened my hair to show me that the cut that I have could be both straightened or worn naturally curly. I may have to come back to Hawaii just for a haircut! read more

Best haircut of my life! They are SO reasonably priced and accept Credit Cards (not a lot of Salons do, which is why I wanted to come here)! Had to get a shampoo and conditioner after a long sweaty day at work, Winnie (sorry if I didn't spell it right!) was so thorough and sweet! I wanted a few inches and all split ends off the bottom, and a little layer to the style, and she was very fast! I did have a lot of tangles, so she was exceedingly patient and did not hurt one but when brushing them out for me. After a blow dry, I asked if she could straighten it for me (since that is how I usually style my hair), and they have amazing hair straightening irons! My hair was stick straight and silky smooth, like it never has been before! Thank you so much May and Winnie! I can't wait to come back! read more

May's Salon - Thank you for the wash, cut, and straightening Winnie! 3 - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Took a chance on this new place wow I was impressed. Small shop for just about 5 people at a time so it's really intimate. May Wang is so cute and bubbly. Naturally when you see Chinese people we were chatting in mandarin. They offer many different services so I must return soon. I tried the special hair treatment $35. The young guy that was working on my hair was terrific! Wonderful head and scalp massage, conditioning and a steam looking blower? High tech! My hair feels soft and silky smooth. He even blew dry afterwards so I can go to my lunch date. Thank you May and staff my friend and I were pampered and pretty. See you again soon! Go now you won't be disappointed and the price is right. read more

well.No more 2nd time to spend $42 for my young kid because it was expensive and not what I wanted it to look like read more

I really needed a haircut. It's like way past my butt! I yelped for several hours and called a few places but no one could take me after 4pm on Sunday (I know it's terrible that I work weekends, not really). May's was near top of my list but I still has to search around, so I ended up just calling them and they could take me. They're located across Walmart in the complex where Likelike Drive Inn, Tony Moly and Teapresso. They're upstairs. I can imagine this place could get pretty packed if you come at a busy time, but I was able to find parking right in front of Tony Moly. I pretty much just wanted layers but to also keep length (what I had before). I didn't get the name of the stylist who took me but she shampooed and blow dried my hair and got to cutting. For the price of $36 to cut, wash and blow dry it was pretty good. She asked if I wanted flat iron, but I declined. I know how my hair is. Usually after blow-drying it'll get straight. Overall great price. I guess bring pictures of what you want instead of describing what you want so you don't end up with a mehhhh cut. The layers aren't as dramatic as how I'd like and my side bangs aren't WOW. But it's just hair. It'll grow back. read more

I bought a Groupon and now I satisfied ! Thank you Anna for taking 7 inches off ! She did a great job and I'll be back! Parking is ok in this busy area. read more

I bought the Groupon for a shampoo & hair cut and it was good. My hair is honestly, arguably, pretty simple. I always trim a few inches off, maybe add a layer or two and that's about it. I heard another lady there who had gotten rave reviews from some of her picky friends so it sounds like they probably do a great job with dying, cuts, etc. I forget the name of my stylist (oops!) But she was very pleasant, quick and did a nice job. I would come back for sure, especially if I had a day planned in this area. Parking can be a bit difficult depending on the time of day but I got lucky! Groupon only works once and to be honest, I seem to recall the prices being pretty similar anyways. The salon is a bit run down/unimpressive but that really does not matter. Overall, a good value with friendly people. read more

I think I found my new hair place I know I'm not alone in the struggle lol I actually used a Groupon for my first cut and I'm so glad I did! I called to schedule and was given a time today! Which is awesome for me bc I change my mind so quickly on cutting my hair #hairanxiety I'm so glad I went in! Anna did a great job! A little shorter than I initially was thinking but it's summer, it's hot, it'll grow! I'll be back‍ read more

What an amazing salon! Tao is absolutely a great hair dresser, I just had my hair cut, blow dried and curled by Tao! I highly recommend Tao if you're looking for a great cut, he really listens to what you want. I'm pretty picky about my cuts and it's always hard to find someone that does exactly what I'm hoping for. I'm glad I don't have to look any further. I've been coming here for a while and every time is a better experience than the last one. Highly recommend this salon and Tao! read more

May's Salon - Tao's perfect haircut and beachy's curls! - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Hair cut for ladies used to be $35 and cheaper on groupon . Now is $91 !! I don't think so.

The salon was a bit hard to get through in the beginning, perhaps because I kept trying to call on a weekday. This actually works better now that I know they answer they phone on the weekends though, because that's when I am more free too. They seem to leave a lot of availability open on weekends for hair cuts and styling, which, again, is nice for the working people who don't want to take vacation days for a hair cut. I requested Tao after reading all the Yelp reviews, and I have to say that I am very impressed. I just got a hair cut, but somehow my hair feels softer after the cut, and I am impressed at how well Tao knew hair. I will definitely be back, especially for the great price. read more

Boo... they are closed again due to the rising Covid numbers. Asked about possible extension of the Groupon deadline. He said no, not right now... Too bad the yelp site wasn't updated on hours and closing 'cause Iooked before I purchased and it said open and closing at 6 the other day... still says this... Will update this later if I get to use the Groupon I purchased... read more

I'll have you know that I cut my hair once a year, maybe twice if I'm lucky. Today I had the urge to cut and possibly even color it. Scrolling through Yelp seeking reviews for a Salon here in town that wouldn't completely break the bank and could also accommodate an appointment today. Tao answered my call at May's and was able to schedule me within an hour with no problem. Location and parking was great, clean salon with friendly atmosphere. Tao is absolutely amazing! He listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, and I let him do his magic. From the beginning he explained what he was doing, gave tips on how to keep the color vibrant, made sure I was comfortable, Great scalp massage with the wash, and blow out with curling. I absolutely love the outcome, much lighter feel with a new vibrant color! Thank You Tao, I'll definitely be back!! read more

May's Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Decent haircut for $31. My stylist was Anna. I think most popular salons charge around $60 for a haircut and I didn't want to spend that much so I stopped in here on Sunday for a haircut. Parking was easy, I was the only customer there, they don't seem to be super busy so walk ins are probably welcome. I did call to make an appointment a few days prior. The wash and cut took around one hour and she used standard cutting techniques. Overall, a no frills experience. Great for maintenance, or trims. read more

I colored and cut my hair by Winnie and she did a great job. Best long layered cut I have had so far. Winnie also colored my hair brown and the color has not faded or turned brassy in 2+ months. I recommended her to some co-workers and they have been going religiously since. This place is affordable, staff are friendly, and fast service. read more

MAY'S IS A-OK! I needed a haircut STAT for my daughter because she had to take some photos the next day. I turned to May's through Groupon and with the backing of Yelpers, I felt comfortable trusting them for such an important cut. I was able to quickly make an appointment and when I got there, Tao greeted me. He is a young, Asian man who really doesn't look like a hair stylist. A bit reluctant- I hemmed and hawed asking if anyone else was available. His co-worker assured me that he "does good hair", so I took the leap and let her go. I was pleasantly surprised - watching him work I could tell that he was a very capable hair stylist. He was very meticulous in his cuts, double checking his work and did a dry cut at the end to finish off. My daughter looked beautiful - I apologized to Tao for my initial reluctancy. He smiled and explained that he had been learning about hair since he was 14. A little bit about the salon. Located right above Like Like Drive-in, it is a small salon, very clean, that offers also offers nail and waxing services. In the waiting area, they have a selection of phone cases and jewelry for sale which I thought was interesting. Prices are reasonable. Parking can be tight so I suggest booking appointments during off-hours. read more

I wanted to have my eyebrows threaded and it was a Sunday. I saw on Yelp that they take walk-ins. I arrived and was told the wait would be about 20 minutes. I explained how I like my brows to look and I think Anna did a good job keeping them full, just cleaning them up. read more

Excellent customer service, reasonable prices, easy to find (the building facing walmart, in between sorabol and ross, right above likelike drive in), very accomodating, friendly/welcoming, and proffesional! Last minute I was looking day of to cut my hair. I called and was able to been seen day of around the time I was available which was a few hours after my call. I arrived and Tao was very nice, friendly, and welcoming. He even gave a courtesy call before I came to let me know too come a little later because he was still with a client (but I missed his call) which was fine he did inform me when I came in. When it was my turn he washed and blow dried my hair. Then asked and listened to how I would like to cut my hair. I showed him a picture and he thoroughly explained and specified what he will do and what would be best to get the look I want because prior to that my hair was a mess, over layered, and not what I wanted from another person who cut my hair at a different place. Tao took his time and very detailed with cutting my hair. It came out way better to how it was before and looked like the picture i showed him. He even gave tips after on how to straighten and style my hair. Im extremely happy and satisfied from beginning to end of my experience here. I will be back and looking forward to it. This will be my new hair salon to go to! read more

This is a small, clean, friendly place on the second floor of the bldg (above L&L). I was told over the phone that they had a 20% off special going on for a hair trim and color/tone but in the end it was still a bit pricier than I expected ($160-80??) Had a little language barrier on the phone with the lady I spoke to. Anyway, I recommend Tao, who is previously from Salon Blanc! He did a great job on my hair and also made me feel very relaxed and entertained through the two hour process. Scalp and neck massage is included. So glad I decided to come, thanks Tao! read more
