I found Salon La Sirena just by chance, about ten years ago. After eating at a pizza restaurant in Haleiwa HI, I went for a walk. I saw a really cute shop, peeked in and met Gina. She immediately became a great friend, life coach of sorts, and my best cut and colorist ever! She corrected my highlights and gave me a knockout cut after analyzing my facial bone structure. When I went to work the next day, everybody complimented my new cut! Out with the old and in with the new! My highlights & lowlights were excellent and the cut made me look ten years younger! I knew I had found MY hair stylist! Gina kept my hair healthy and looking great ever since then! About four years ago I moved to the Mainland. Once again I realized just how good Gina's skills are! Trying to find my new hair stylist was a nightmare. After trying out 4 stylists over a few years I found someone that is ok but not excellent like Gina. When Gina told me she was moving to Sarasota FL, my heart sang! I'm willing to do a gnarly 14 hour drive to visit Gina and get my hair done right! If you are looking for YOUR hair cut & color master, go see Gina. I promise you won't regret it! read more

Best haircut EVER! I booked my appointment on the day of, there were no openings but as I was desperate, Cali agreed to stay late and help me out. Cali did an AMAZING job! I am in the sunshine and ocean a lot, so my hair was pretty tangly and damaged but Cali knew exactly what to do. She cleaned up all the dead bits and I was still able to keep my length. SO pleased! Additionally, she is really sweet and fun to talk to. I hope she never leaves Waialua because she is now my stylist forever!!! read more

Salon La Sirena - Long layer haircut! I surf and swim in the ocean a lot, so my hair is constantly exposed to the elements. Cali knew what to do! - Hair Salons Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

I have been going to Gina for several years and finally found someone who can do a natural looking blond. She learned her craft in Malibu and her color and cut are ALWAYS on point. I love how CONSISTENTLY she does my hair, every time her entire attention is on you (she isn't working on 3 different clients at the same time) and you walk out looking great! Hands down best hair dresser ever! Not only does she give you 100% of her attention, she is funny and always interesting to talk to. Gina is simply the best! read more

Gina is an incredible hair dresser. My mother was a hairdresser so I am a bit picky. She listens to what you want. She does an incredible job on coloring and cutting. I would highly recommend her. read more

Gina is an amazing colourist!!! I went in after a home coloring disaster. Gina corrected it back to my highlights & lowlights. She also sells awesome haircare products & is super knowledgeable about which are the best for my hair. read more

I love my hair so much Thank you so much Michele! You fixed my hott roots!! lol My hair looks so amazing! My husband loves it! Great hair at a great price! I'm gonna be coming back to Michele for all my hair needs. I finally found someone I can trust my hair with and to give me the look I want. I highly recommend Michele if you need to fix your hair color...I messes my hair up with box color. She knew exactly what to do and I like that she did it the correctly, not just the way she wanted it. She truly is a artist/hair master! Thank you again to Michele. I'll give you a call for my next appointment =) I love my hair! read more

Salon La Sirena - Michele fix my box dye mess up (hot roots) lol Wanted an ehu kinda look... sun kissed hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

I started coming to this salon the past 6 months on request by friends who have had their eyelashes done by Vanessa Li. Vanessa must be thee most patient person I have ever met. I've never been a pamperer of self, but once I had my eyelash extensions done by Vanessa the first time, I was hooked. I never realized that eyelashes would and could make a difference to my face. I use to have baby eyelashes that was hardly noticeable, but thanks to Vanessa, I can now bat my eyelashes at my husband. Lol Vanessa also did my wedding hair and make-up. She had me come in for a trial, a week before the time, she also suggested a few hairstyles, which I loved. My makeup was subtle, but cute. I don't usually like too much makeup, but the subtleness of my wedding makeup made me feel like a princess. If you're in the area of Waialua or Haleiwa and looking for a talented and very friendly stylist to do your hair, go to Vanessa Li, she will take care of you. When I met Vanessa the first time in 2016, we became instant friends. read more

I guess having a 10 month baby with high fever at home is not enough reason to have to cancel my appointment....I tough was the right thing to do, because I was following "Covid protocols". I was very exciting to get my hair done with her. But I think you gave a red flag to the wrong person. Tried to call her to explain and get another appointment, but not a nice response. Just a rude text message. Mahalo! read more

Gina is fantastic. She makes you feel comfortable right away and she's very good at her craft! Before I left the mainland I received a terrible color job. Gina fixed me right up! Her salon is eco friendly which is important because I have extreme chemical sensitivities. Her ammonia free products work great and there's not a chemical scent in that entire salon. Her prices are reasonable for Hawaii. read more

Gina is a brilliantly skilled hair stylist. She's especially good with highlights/color and one of the few stylists I've found that can handle my thick, multi-textured hair. Five ++ stars all the way!! read more

Gina is awesome!!! Great at color and cuts and very interesting and fun to spend time with. I am sad she moved. I highly recommend her, she has years of experience and really listens to what the client wants. read more

I have been living in Hawaii (on the north shore) for the past 2 years. In that time I have traveled to the West side, South side and even back to California just to get decent highlights that look natural and not chunky or brassy. That is until I found Gina!!! I was very skeptical and did not have high expectations, as I had been underwhelmed with almost all of the hairdressers I had encountered. No one seemed to be able to give me natural looking blonde. Gina definitely broke that streak! She went above and beyond to make my hair look better than I ever imagined. I didn't need a photo or magazine clipping, I simply told her what I wanted and she nailed it! I have found my girl and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great hair at a reasonable rate. Gina is second to none! read more

I moved to the island back in August and put off getting my hair cut and colored because it's hard to pick a new stylist and trust they'll do a fantastic job. I'm sure most of us have had bad experiences with a new stylist and a bad cut and color lasts a lifetime it seems. I found Gina's ad in the North Shore News Letter and since it had the bonus of being 2 miles from my house I decided to give it a go. I have long, thick hair and stylists tend to want to excessively layer and texturize it which I'm not very keen on. After sharing with Gina a few of my likes/dislikes and color preference she whipped up some color and got down to business. It came out perfect! I usually just get my roots touched up and with past stylists I ended up leaving with a distinct color difference between roots and the rest of my hair. But Gina got it just right and my color turned out amazing and my roots blended perfectly. Plus she doesn't use color with harsh chemicals. The cut was amazing as well. She did some layering and trimming of my ends and it definitely looked revitalized. I left Salon La Sirena feeling better than I have about myself in a long time. Amazing what a good cut and color can do for the self-esteem! I've been seeing her regularly since then and I am never disappointed. In addition to Gina being an amazing stylist, she is also very friendly and relaxed. She's helped me in getting adjusted to island life and gives me suggestions of places to go and restaurants to try. She truly cares about her clients and wants them to feel their best beautiful self. I absolutely recommend Gina and Salon La Sirena to bring out the beauty in you! read more

Just moved to the island and was looking for a place to get a haircut on the northshore. I lucked out because Gina answered my call and got me in the next day. I asked for a blunt cut to even out all the layers I had put in a few months earlier. I also asked about ombré for my hair and I think I'll set up an appt for color next time. Very cute salon and Gina is very nice. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a great cut that is reasonably priced! read more

Pampering delight! Sleepy Waialua actually has far better hair and nail services than Haleiwa. Amazing and incredibly welcome! With years of experience, Gina is an fantastically gifted hair stylist. Cut, color AND personality which truly kill! If you want someone who knows how to bring out the beauty of your hair, can actually work with it instead of trying to force it to do something it can't do, and can somehow figure out the nuances of color that will make you look great and, even better, feel like a princess then Gina is the person to see. And don't miss Michelle's nails either. She offers nail services at a great price and even better quality. read more

I am in love with my COLOR and CUT. Gina is a true master when it comes to color.

Blonde hair is hard to get just right and Gina you got it. O' and the cut, she cut all the dead weight off and now I have some pep in my step! It is even better then my og girl back home. Just one more reason to love Hawaii more then I already do. Thank you Gina! read more

Salon La Sirena - The perfect shade of blonde... - Hair Salons Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

This morning I received these messages from Gina Walker, the business owner. On my text message immediately preceeding the yelp comment: "U f#cking blood sucking vampire c#nt may karma strike you down. On yelp I was messaged this: 11/22/2014 New! Gina W.Haleiwa, HI Send Message For your review of: Salon La Sirena This is a fake review by a hater ! I'm blown away at what people will do ! I could pay yelp to have this taken off like the other salon in town but I refuse! People who know me no the truth! It's all good!" Decide for yourself if this is what you want to deal with. She has a reputation of doing this to other business owners in town. The words with # were actually spelled out. I cleaned it up. Response to Gina's "hater"comment listed below. dear Gina, you were paid by money order as requested. I have a copy of the receipt showing it was cashex.Michelle witnessed & acknowledged the money being brought to your shop and left at your station. You blatently turned your back and ignored me when I did. in the envelope was a Thank You card & wishing you didn't take this path.You knew at the time you did my hair I was not working and didn't have the money to do my hair, yet you insisted. I told you on many occasions I didn't have the money but I was working on it. I made multiple attempts you talk in person or telephone and talk as friends to re tiny this. But instead you threatened me with a lawzuit, having your husband harass me and the multitude of extremely vulgar text messages. I am not sure where the bipolar came from, just another one of your name calling. additionally how I burned all of Hale'iwa. Again, another lie as my job was in town and not in Hale'iwa. sadly, the only way you know how to communicate was with disturbing vulgarity and unsupported lies. This issue at hand is about your lack of professionalism for a long time customer who truly adored you until this happened. read more

I've been seeing Gina for four years now! Time flies. This is her first shop (with Michele who is also awesome). Gina is always flexible with scheduling and is a diamond in the rough on Oahu. Prior to Gina I had been flying back to NYC to have my hair done! She is highly creative, but also up on the latest trends, and will work with more conservative clients like me. I love that La Sirena is a small, local shop with all types of customers. If you are new to the area or looking for someone to take better care of your hair you should go to La Sirena. read more

When I first decided to try and highlight my hair again I thought to myself "Why? It always turns out good the first time and touch-ups are always a disaster." But I wanted to be pampered and thought what the heck. When I arrived at Salon La Sirena I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. La Sirena means The Mermaid and what girl doesn't LOVE and secretly wants to be a mermaid? As I sat in Gina's chair I admired my surroundings. Candles burning, music playing, mermaids and shells all around me- it was wonderful! Once again I thought to myself "Well, even if my hair doesn't come out at least I got to enjoy this great ambience." Gina and I discussed what I wanted and soon she began my transformation. As she worked we talked and laughed. Her bubbly, fun personality made the time in her chair seem to fly by and before I knew it - it was time to blow dry and see my results. I was amazed the color was incredible and exactly what I wanted. She had taken me from a dark brunette to a golden blonde. I have seen Gina three times now. Twice to have my roots done. Gina has exceeded my expectations. She's an incredible stylist and when I leave her salon I truly feel like a mermaid myself. I would recommend Salon La Sirena to everyone because you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Gina for a while now. Always great cut and color. I've reached the age where I gotta think about the " transition to g***". So went in for regular appt all anxious,share my plan. Gina's like. "no problem.". I asked so many questions at every point. Mind you it was like 3 inches off and totally different color. She kept calming me. Finally, the reveal. OMG. I'm like 20 years younger and love my new color! Can't wait to go to work tomorrow! And the holidays are just around the corner! Soooo recommend Gina!! She is such a great color master and great person read more

Gina is as good as it gets! She has been doing my hair for years now! She is the best for color and gets it right every time. Gina is also a great, caring person and it's always a blast to sit in her chair. Salon La Sirena is the only place I would go on North Shore to have my hair done! read more

I went to Vanessa for the second time (first at this location) and she is awesome! She did such a thorough job and was so pleasant to talk to while I was there. However, the true test came this week when I sent my husband to her. He has a lot of hair and waits months in between haircuts. His hair looks amazing! Thanks so much! read more

Gina is interesting and talented with hair. Her color is fantastic. If you are clear about what you want and you pay attention everytime you are in her chair, you will walk out happy! If you are not happy, do not tell her...there are reasons. read more

First time to see Gina today and she is awesome! She's a true consultant, listening and providing guidance and options. She added much needed dimension to my color and gave me hope as a grow out a prior mistake. Looking forward to future appointments here! I highly recommend Gina! read more

Gina is a master when it comes to hair. She truly is an artist. I have been to her for cuts, color, highlights, & deep conditioning treatments! And all visits have been successful! She teaches you how to work with your hair and how to keep it looking it's best. Since going to her for the past year my hair is now healthy and finally growing! She uses great products and is so knowledgeable. I have great ease trusting her with my locks. Her shop is adorable and she sells cute jewelry too! If you are in need of any hair services, I highly recommend going to Gina. You won't leave disappointed! read more

I hate to have to find someone new to do my hair. When I moved to Hawaii I went to 4 different salons to find someone to do my hair. I walked out after every appointment disappointed and unhappy with the work they had done. That is until I met Gina. She really knows her stuff. Love her haircuts and she is excellent with blonds! So glad I found her! read more

Gina! Finally. After being in island for three years I have found my hair person. She listened and did what I asked. Fabulous color.

I am beyond the moon about my hair!!!!! Gina is amazing and my hair looks incredible. I have tried three other salons on the island in the last four years and no one has been able to do my blonde hair like my girl on the mainland...until Gina! No one on the island has been able to get my blonde just right until now. Gina truly has a magical touch when it comes to hair and her salon is so relaxing and has such a great vibe to it. I am so relieved to finally have someone that knows what they are doing and is so close to home. Great pricing and products as well. Thanks again girl i will see you soon for my next apt. read more

I LOVE this salon and not just because it is so close to home. Michele and Gina both do really great work and are really nice people. I've been going to Michele for over a year now and love my hair. They recently opened this new shop and it is stylish, quaint, relaxing and super clean. I love getting my hair done here and they also do great mani/ pedis as well as waxing. The prices are AMAZING and the ladies are super fun to chat with while getting pampered. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hair salon on the North Shore! read more
