    Proplr please don't get fooled. They said contact then so I did. I did video and sent then photos guess what. After they see all my pictures he said sent previous pictures. Omg they say it's freezy hair... wow so spending $300 outcome is burnt hair and it's okay.. it's my fault that I don't have previous pictures now.. so

    Getting a fresh cut!

    First off, the online scheduling was easy, and anyone who lives here knows parking can be a headache, but that was also easy here too with the free parking on the second floor. staff was super friendly and welcoming. They even offered me a cup of coffee that actually tasted high-quality, which really set the tone for the visit. For my cut, my stylist knew exactly what she was doing. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted, and I was very satisfied with the result. If you want a sharp fade or a clean trim and a relaxing experience, this is definitely the place! I also don't know what shampoo they used after my haircut but it smelled nice and I felt so refreshed. It wasn't just a quick rinse, they really take their time with the head massage and make it feel like a premium service rather than just a chore after the cut. This salon isn't the cheapest, but it's definitely the best value for the money that I've come across so far.

    I love Salon Ava! I wanted to change my style and Ava and her staff did such an excellent job. They're always very accommodating to my busy schedule and I would definitely recommend this salon! My hair has always been a very dark color and now with this new color it's really softened my look. Ava also cut and styled my hair so it feels lighter and healthier. I'm so grateful!

    Brandon did an incredible job with my hair. Result came out even better than I expected smooth, polished, and exactly what I wanted. He really knows what he's doing and takes his time to make sure everything is perfect. By the end of the appointment, I left feeling so happy and confident. Despite the delay, quality of work and overall experience completely made up for it. I already booked my next appointment with him! I'll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for making me love my hair!

    Ava is the best!! You go in and they make you feel like a movie star. Hair washed, then cut and then two people working on you to get the full experience and guarantee, at Salon Ava you will feel happy and satisfied. Always love that I can trust someone to cut my hair. Always love that Ava is part of my self care squad.

    Very skilled, professional and friendly. I felt like the hair dresser knows different hair type well, and makes recommendations that works for you.

    I went in for a layered cut and styling and it looked amazing when they were done. I'd been looking for a new hair salon for a while now and I'm so happy I found Salon Ava! It's such a hidden gem--you wouldn't really know it's there since it's tucked away in a cute little boutique space right above a Palama supermarket. The staff were the sweetest and I really appreciated that they actually listened to what I wanted. It's hard to find a local hair salon that's actually talented and affordable in town. They really took their time to make sure my hair was on point before I left, which I loved. Honestly, I've been to those super expensive salons before that didn't do nearly as good a job. So glad I found this spot, I'll definitely be back! Thanks Ava! :)

    OMG, my daughter got her first haircut at Salon Ava and she looks adorable! We wanted something that would match her fun personality and be easy to maintain. I didn't know what style I wanted for her, so I left it up to the stylist and she nailed it perfectly. It suits her face shape so well and has this bouncy, chic look that is just too cute!!!! As soon as it was done, I had to snap a few photos to send to the fam. Everyone loved it! It's such a 'big girl' look for her. Absolutely love how it turned out. The staff was also very sweet throughout the whole process, making it an enjoyable experience. If you're thinking about a bob or any haircut for your little one, do it here! Thank you Salon Ava!!!

    5 months since my last haircut!

    I finally got around to cutting my hair after 5+ months. I've been coming to this same salon for a few years now, and I keep coming back because it's close to where I live and they always do a great job with my haircuts. They even threw in a free wash too with my cut. It came out to be ~40, which for most areas in town is pretty reasonable I think. Their dog is also super cute! My head feels so much lighter now and I left the shop feeling completely refreshed. I'm glad I finally stopped by for my long overdue haircut.

I usually go to him for both my haircuts and balayage, and every single time I leave loving how my hair turns out. His skills are truly top tier compared to other stylists on the island. I tried several hair stylists around Oahu before finding him, and none of them compared. Dee is incredibly talented, but what I appreciate most is his honesty. He'll always tell you what will actually look best for you rather than just doing something trendy that may not suit you. His salon is also absolutely adorable. The space has beautiful pink décor with gold accents that gives it such a warm, stylish vibe (definitely feels like his wife's aesthetic!). Both Dee and his wife are so sweet and welcoming, and their energy makes you feel like more than just a client -- it makes you want to keep coming back long-term. For anyone trying to find the salon: it's located on the 10th floor of the Ala Moana Center office building. The entrance is directly across from Genki Sushi inside the mall, which makes it really easy to locate once you know where to go. Most importantly, I trust Dee completely with my hair. That's why I don't go to any other hair artists or stylists on Oahu. He genuinely cares about his clients and about the quality of his work. He takes pride in his art and never wants you to leave disappointed. On top of that, he's a great conversationalist -- and I say that as someone who is naturally pretty introverted. Every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. Dee is also someone who carries a lot of wisdom, and seeing him always feels like a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair, Dee is it.
