Updated review: Oak Monsarrat is my and my daughter's go-to salon for good reason! The salon is…read moreneat, clean, and clients well-spaced out. I've tried a number of different stylists over the years: Yoshi, Sachiko, Marine, Sally, and Tiffany, and ALL have been terrific: kind, courteous, and total pros. The shampoo and head+neck massage are truly restorative and relaxing. Stylists ask questions about how you want your hair cut and execute very airy, light styles that bring out the natural movement and beauty of hair and which have staying power, even if you don't go into the salon often, like me. Appointments run on schedule, and I was out within an hour. Highly recommended! Original review: 6/26/21: More accolades for Yoshi, proprietor and head stylist at OAK Monsarrat Salon! Had wanted to cut my waist-length hair since before the pandemic, so decided to give this salon a try, based on the glowing recs from a co-worker and Yelp. So glad I did! Booking couldn't be easier: online, so you can see all available dates/time slots, select your stylist, if desired, and check off what services you want. You get an electronic confirmation of your appointment, once submitted. Pricing was reasonable ($50= women's shampoo/dry+haircut) and transparent--both the website and online booking indicate costs. First-time customers receive 20% off, and the salon offers a loyalty club for additional discounts and a free hair treatment after 10 visits. I opted for whichever stylist was available, but got lucky and happened to get Yoshi. OAK Monsarrat is located in the same strip mall that houses Bogart's Café and da Cove, so parking is convenient and free. Arrived early, but was courteously greeted and seated right away, and offered an iPad to browse styles or watch Netflix while waiting. The salon is elegantly minimalist and clean, with partitions between clients and COVID safety protocols observed. Staff and clients are masked, and social distancing observed. Yoshi's personable, professional, a good communicator, skilled, and efficient: he took me on time, and I was done within an hour. I wanted a low-maintenance, wash-and-wear style that would look good pulled back, French-braided, or worn loose, and he delivered a great, flattering cut that met those specs--his length estimate was spot-on. For those who're not fans of the shampoo component of salon visits, Yoshi might very well convert you: washing was thorough and seamlessly executed, with a warm towel placed under your neck, and the scalp massage= sheer magic! Walked out of the salon, relaxed and rejuvenated, 18" of hair lighter, and very happy with my haircut, which I've received many compliments on! Today, I received a nice post-visit email, thanking me for my patronage and informing me of the salon's 10 day service guarantee, in case there were any issues or concerns--really appreciate that courteous touch and commitment to customer satisfaction! I enthusiastically recommend this salon and will definitely return! OAK MONSARRAT SALON Phone: 808-772-4216 URL: http://oak-salon.com

He trimmed my hair, and explained the whole process as he did the treatment. He even let me comb through my hair to feel how smooth it was. It took about 2 hours. The trim, blow dry, and straightening was great. My hair is naturally curling. So it was nice to get the smoothing done with the Inca glow. David also told me how to wash my hair. You need to use a sulfate feee shampoo. If you are looking to get this hair treatment I recommend you go see David!

When you get out of her chair she will leave you feeling confident & educated. You spend a lot of money on your hair, and she wants it to last as long as it can since you are her walking canvas. Because of her having no problem sharing her knowledge with her clients, like me, my hair has been able to grow so quickly and healthy because I know how to take care of it. She truly takes her craft seriously. She always says it's more art than a job and that shines through with each client she has, and especially through me. Besides being a complete professional she is the sweetest person! She cares about each of her clients and wants them to feel more beautiful and empowered when they leave her chair. I will definitely be a client for life!

She also is so good about recommending styling product and heat tools to use if your hairstyle is high-maintenance. Mines is pretty high-maintenance but she always guides you on how to style yourself so that you look good every day not just after your hair appointment!

The stalls for this place were filled, Salt at Kaka'ako is a bit of a hike (who wants to go Hiking after getting your hair glammed up?). We went around the block twice & luckily found street parking. $2.25 for 1.5 hours. We arrived about 30 mins early, there were 3 other customers already being tended to. As soon as a stylist became available (Jazlyn) she warmly greeted us & started my daughter's experience. I could overhear the casual conversation, friendly & kind. My gal got with me shortly thereafter (Kordel), got me situated, talked about styles, etc. Having my hair washed by others is always something I've enjoyed. This didn't disappoint & wasn't rushed! The styling was fast (IMO considering my hair is pretty thick) & conversation flowed. Both gals were friendly but not over talkative. It was a relaxing experience! Will we be back? Absolutely. Just hope they get some extra parking. Better yet, move towards the west side! Waikele has vacancy!
