My stylist Tiffany was personable and made sure I was comfortable throughout the service. She was communicative and went over expectations / desired goals before getting to work. I chose this medium to light brown color on their sample palette & my results turned out so much lighter than expected, but it was still pretty so I'm not mad about it haha. I paid $200 pre-gratuity. Worth it.

Hillary and her canine assistant were up to task. I honestly don't know how my kid ended up with crazy wiry hair. Hillary was able to give it shape, gave both of us instructions on hair straightening and self-care tips, and even suggested some salons for other services! If you're looking for great hair and a safe, loving, and unpretentious space, come to Winam.

I found Wynham studio on both Yelp and Google when I was looking for someone who was comfortable…read moredoing a dramatic cut. I've been considering a new hairdo for about two years and finally felt comfortable pulling the trigger. Off the website I was able to get Hilary's number and text her about my situation and desired haircut. I showed her photos of similar haircuts and described what I was looking for. I also showed her pictures of my current hair and of me holding my hair sort of how I was hoping the final cut would look. The text-based consult was great! Hilary was excited about the job, but also said I could go somewhere else if I wanted to get color done at the same time, since she only does haircuts. After telling the stylist she referred me to for color the same information I gave Hillary, she thought it best I go to Hillary for the cut and her for the color. I don't think everyone is comfortable doing this kind of dramatic cut, and I may have made her nervous when I said I was an artist educator. I ended up doing both appointments the same day, one right after the other this was fairly easy, since both locations were within walking distance of each other. I'm happy I had two experts each doing what they loved doing best! Winam Studio is above the Post Office on 11th Ave. in Kaimuki. I came in the afternoon (post lunch) on a weekday, and parking was fairly easy in the metered lot in the middle of the block, and I showed up right on time. The studio was clean and fun, with pops of color inspired by a Rubik's cube, and Hillary was ready for me. She'd been talking to someone in the waiting area, but stopped to attend to me immediately. There was one other person and her hairdresser in the studio. Hillary and I talked through the cut one more time, and she expressed gratitude about my specificity and the reference photos I brought. She asked her colleague for ideas before starting to firm up her plan of action. We had interesting conversation throughout the shampoo and cut, and Hillary even treated me to some theatrical snipping during the experience. This woman is an artist with her shears. She thought and walked me through her process the entire time, sculpting my hair with precision using only combs, shears, and razor blades, and even throwing in a bit of theatrical pins he that made me laugh. I kept a lock of my long hair for my son. It was an awesome collaboration! Both the cut and color turned out better than I could ever have imagined! It's comfortable and super low-maintenance. I don't have to wash my hair as often, don't sweat as much, and never need a hair tie. My hair looks amazing after simply messing it around with my fingers and flipping to the side. Friends that have known me for years have asked me why I hadn't had this haircut sooner. They tell me it fits my personality perfectly! I love that I can look chic or punk rock, depending on what I wear and how I wear my hair! Now I look like the artist I am! Thank you, Hillary!

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 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!

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!!!

They scheduled me with Brandy who was awesome, so attentive, educated me about clarifying shampoo, did a very relaxing wash and blow dry, and my hair looked like a Kpop stars by time she was finished. Extremely reasonable pricing (compared to where I'm from, San Francisco Bay area in California), I was shocked $75 for a very individualized cut, wash and blow dry, with lovely conversation along the way. Glad I waited til getting to Hawaii to get my hair did! The salon was clean, took a hot minute to locate cuz we didn't follow the driving instructions on their website. If u come from pedestrian level street u need to take elevator to 7th floor of the high rise.
