This is the first time I came back from a hairstylist and just adored my hair. Cari was professional, efficient, and a great stylist. I had an idea of what I wanted my hair to look like, but since I had virgin hair, she decided to discuss my options with me so I'm not too shocked by the transformation. After discussing it with her, I decided to go another route and I couldn't be more happy. I had a cut and color (balayage) done under 3 hours and that's shorter than I expected. Cari had some great tips for hair care and gave me a great cut (layers AND maintained my length!) I am beyond pleased. I have a crazy schedule, but Cari was able to work with me to fit me in asap and made my life easier. She offered me coffee and cookies and was very courteous. A bit pricey (like it would be anywhere else) but totally worth the investment. Will definitely be recommending her to fam and friends who are looking for cut and/or color. I totally trust her and that's a rare find! read more

Disappointed over the end results and wasn't a happy hair ending. Not for everyone ugh o we'll win some lose some just had way higher hopes.

Cari never fails to make all my hair dreams come true. 100% professional and especially during these times of Covid! This was the first time I had done my hair in about a year- so I was way over due. Like always She transformed my Wednesday Adams gross hair beautifully and in just one session I feel like a whole new Britney Spears. I could go on and on but just let the pics do the talking!! read more

Cari is an amazing stylist. She listened carefully and helped to diagnose what my hair issues and desires are. She helped me get super soft hair and in the perfect color choice.

First off, let me say that Cari is amazing! I was searching for a hair stylist and found her here on yelp and she already had excellent reviews. She is an amazing person and amazing with her work. She got my hair pretty light on the first session and did magic on my second session. I am so happy with the results. I have Asian hair and A LOT of it and it is a process to get to where my hair is at now but Cari is very personable and easy to talk to. The end result of my second session was so amazing I just couldn't stop looking at it. I highly recommend her and will definitely be seeing her for follow ups. Thank you Cari!!! read more

I made the appointment for a consultation and it just so happened she was not too busy that day- lucky for me! I was able to get in that same day and Cari did wonders for my hair! I asked for the ash gray and definitely delivered. We talked about it being a process to get to the lightness that want to get to but after what she accomplished on my hair, I am all in!

Love her! I found her on Yelp and took a chance. She responded immediately and I was able to get a last minute appointment with her on a holiday! I only got a haircut but it was exactly what I wanted! She's very quick but definitely doesn't skip a step when checking to see if that's what I want. She cut and styled my hair. Also offers a complimentary "follow up" within a couple days if you aren't totally diggin the style or cut. Definitely accomodating with availability and really enjoyable, fun personality! Will definitely be going back for cut and color next time! read more

Cari Ann is simply the best. I have been going to her for all my hair needs for the last 10 years. Every single hair phase I've gone through she has been able to make all my hair goals reality! The process is very important to her and she will always make sure you understand what she is doing and why. A stylist you can absolutely trust. I am Chinese/Vietnamese with color processed/black roots and we were able to get me to frosty blonde in 2 visits with very minimal damage. She is a color queen!! And will always cut my hair the way I LOVE. Her expertise, patience, and professional skill level all at an affordable price too! If you are looking for a new stylist she is definitely worth it. read more

Cari Ann is the BEST!!! I have been going to her for 15 years, I will not trust any one else with my hair. She truly is a color specialist! I am ASIAN and she got me white blonde! WHAT WHAT?! She is AMAZZZZZINNNG! A great thing about Cari is she will let you know the process it will take to get your hair the the color or style you want it to be. Another great thing about her is she is a awesome listener and gives great advice! You know sitting in that chair can get boring sometimes, not with her, she makes sure you are entertained. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Highly recommend Cari!! read more

Cari is awesome! She took her time to ensure I liked the haircut and styling of my hair, I am very particular, but she was so patient and listened to what I wanted done. Very professional and super nice! Her experience shows in the work she puts out. Thank you again, I will be back for sure! read more

Cari is phenomenal - I didn't actually get my hair done by her because timing didn't work out on my end, but we had a consultation call and she was super thorough in understanding my hair goals and lifestyle. She provided some great advice, and I could tell she really wanted to make sure that I was going to be happy. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone, and I would personally love to come back to her in the future when timing works out better! read more

CARI IS AN ANGEL THAT WALKS AMONG US!!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her work. She is an absolute artist with that color brush. Everytime I leave her chair I am filled with a smile on my face and a fresh pep in my step.

Salon Posh - That face when it's five months post-appointment and your color still as fresh as the day you left the salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cari is and always has been simply AHHHH-MAZING at what she does! She's dealt with my crazy hair for years & I've never once been disappointed. After having my kids, taking care of my hair was pushed to the back burner because of all the "mommy madness" and I've gone YEARS without cutting my hair. Recently, my super picky nine year old decided that he was too cool for simple buzz cuts or quick stops at random places to get a hair cut. He wanted something "cooler", so off to Cari we went! We left her salon far from disappointed! My son pranced around like he was the coolest kid on the block! She's cut his hair twice so far, but he never fails to remind me that he's going to "Aunty Cari" to cut his hair. Now back to me...I've always trusted Cari with her ideas and her honesty and today was nothing different. I walked in with the simple idea that I'd be chopping a bunch of my hair off - I was tired of the messy bun & ugly, scraggly ends & Cari transformed my mop into a masterpiece, as always! The best part, she's easy to work with. She'll make sure she knows what you want, she checks with you throughout the process, & she wants you to leave happy with your new do. Set up an appointment with her & I promise you won't be disappointed! Oh, & she'll keep laughing throughout your appointment. Never a dull moment, I promise! read more

My hair has a new best friend!!! Cari is awesome! She is friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. She's been doing this a long time, so she knows what she's doing and she knows what she's talking about. I randomly found her while browsing through Yelp for a last minute cut. She was out of town at the time, but still responded to my inquiry. I made an appointment for a root retouch and balayage the following week. I ended up waiting to do my cut with her too and I couldn't be happier!!!! Cari is easy to talk to as well. I had a great time and can't wait to go back. read more

Cari was amazing! I haven't gotten a haircut in over 2 years and I have very thick, very wavy hair. From answering my inquiry to greeting me in the salon, Cari was super friendly and warm. Best of all she gave me an amazing haircut that works with my natural hair texture! I got so many compliments... I look forward to going to her again! read more

Cari is AMAZING! I loved everything she did for my hair. She pays very close attention to detail and what the client wants! I've been to many different hair salons and she by far blows everyone out of the water. Her personality is great too! I would highly recommend her! read more

Definitely the best hair experience I have had on the island. Cari is extremely friendly and unbelievably efficient. She had me in and out of the chair in less than half the time of most other places, and I actually got exactly the cut I wanted (something that honestly doesn't happen very often). Sad to be leaving island soon but I know who to recommend to friends and who to get my hair done by when I come back to visit! read more

I love seeing Cari and so does my hair! Not only does she execute, she cares about you and your hair. She takes the right steps to ensure your hair will stay healthy while achieving your color goals! I definitely recommend her especially if you want to go blonde but scared about damage! She's an expert at that!!! read more

I've been on the search for someone to cut my long straight/wavy hair into a bob for quite some time. I live in Makiki, right around Punahou area so the salon itself is suuuper close to my place and away from the hustle of Honolulu town which is a major plus for me! The last thing I wanna be doing on my "pampering days" is to be driving around in 808 traffic. Parking was a breeze and in my experiences, with Manoa Marketplace I know it to be a generally safe area. I found Cari thru yelp inquiries and thru light research, I decided to schedule an appointment. She gave me a quick consultation on the phone a week prior to my appointment I got to explain all my wants and concerns. I walked in thinking it was gonna be a major project instead it was a swish and a flick and like magic Cari had me rocking this awesome NOT MOM BOB. I'm telling you I look sassy af and I will be maintaining this look with her in the future! We've already spoken on future hair color goals so I will be looking forward to next time. read more

I am so lucky I found Cari Ann at M.Matoi. I was referred to her by my boyfriend who gets his hair done by her so for the past five years I have let no one else touch my hair but Cari. I cannot tell you how many people have jacked up my hair but this girl is amazing...she not only gets me to the color and cut I want (no matter how long it takes her) but she also educates me on correct hair care process and specific things I should be doing to keep my hair healthy and beautiful. I've also bought so many products from her salon that I now CANNOT live without and she's also referred me to the best hair straightener that works for my hair type. She's introduced me to "The wet brush" and I'm telling you if you don't have one...listen to Cari Ann and GET ONE!!!This girl definitely knows what she's doing and I am so happy she's mine...lol...I mean my hairdresser lol. Cant wait for my next appointment...I also come for the cookies and coffee I'm totally spoiled now...no going back! read more
