The salon itself is stylish and very welcoming. Linda was my stylist, and she was fantastic --attentive, collaborative, and made sure I was involved in every step of the decision-making process. The scalp and neck massage alone is worth coming back for; it was incredibly relaxing. The music playlist was also a perfect touch and made the whole experience even better. Such a great find! I'll definitely be back!

This was my second time getting a haircut with Kelly because the first time was such a great…read moreexperience! I had some idea of how I wanted my hair cut this time around, but wasn't too sure. I was comfortable with asking Kelly on her thoughts because I wanted direction and advice - I had my hair cut elsewhere before, and they either weren't able to provide me recommendations regarding my hair type or just took my request and weren't able to give me proper direction. My haircut turned out way better than I expected! Kelly was great to chat with during my haircut session and made me feel comfortable. I also saw other clients having a great time chatting with their hair stylists - so no matter who you go with, you'll be in good hands!

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

I always come here, but today I had my hair done by Marin. She was incredibly attentive and…read moreprofessional. Honestly, the level of care she provided--from the shampoo to the blow-dry--felt like true Japanese-quality service. Her technique is outstanding, and she is especially talented at blow-drying. I had plans afterward, so I really appreciated how beautifully she styled my hair. Thank you so much, Marin! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and detail-oriented hairstylist.

I haven't been able to find a stylist to cut my bangs (and for the longest time I was wondering if it was me asking incorrectly or using the wrong terminology?) but Mai delivered.

I understand why she has so many regulars now and i think she just gained another. See you soon Mai!

After a really traumatic salon experience where over 14 inches of my hair were cut off when I only…read moreasked for a trim and my color turned out chunky and brassy, I was honestly nervous to trust anyone with my hair again. From the very first message, Lauren at Darlwas responsive, empathetic, and incredibly kind. She truly listened to what happened and what I was hoping to achieve. When I arrived, she was welcoming, professional, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. She performed a full color correction and completely transformed my hair. My previous layers were choppy and uneven, about six inches apart, and she beautifully blended everything so it looked soft and seamless. She did a root melt, corrected the harsh highlights, gave me a gorgeous blowout, and styled my hair to perfection. And she did all of this while pregnant. Truly amazing. Hair is very important to me culturally and personally, and I was devastated after my first experience. When I left Lauren's chair, I felt beautiful again. Yes, hair grows back, but how you feel walking out of a salon matters. I work in an industry where I am constantly interacting with customers, and looking and feeling my best is important. Lauren gave that back to me. Thank you, Lauren, for your patience, your care, and your incredible talent. I am beyond grateful for you and the confidence you restored in me. Wishing you all the best on your motherhood journey. Your baby is so lucky to have such a strong, compassionate, and hardworking mama.

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!
