I came here once back in 2015, not long after they opened, but honestly didn't love the haircut I got at the time. Fast forward to now--my regular stylist at another salon moved off island, so I decided to give this place another try. The price was reasonable, it was super easy to book online, and the stylist who did my hair years ago wasn't there anymore. My appointment was first thing in the morning, which was great because there was no wait. Chico was assigned to do my hair, and she took the time to ask what I wanted, my preferences, and how I usually take care of my hair. I really liked her thoughtful and careful approach. After a gentle shampoo, she cut, blow-dried, and curled my hair outward--it turned out beautifully! The length was exactly what I asked for, and the soft curls were the cherry on top. I'll definitely be coming back and asking for Chico again (as long as our schedules line up). So glad I decided to give this place another chance! read more

My first time at SoHo,Hair Salon at the Ilikai and I requested Maru, he was amazing! He gave me a haircut and highlights, and his creativity really stood out. I truly loved his work. I heard he's no longer with SoHo, which makes me a bit sad. read more

Update: I came back to have my hair corrected, and I appreciate the salon for taking responsibility and making it right. They did a great job evening out the color, and it looks much more even now. They were responsive and offered a correction with a different stylist. I appreciate their effort to address the issue. read more

Last night, I decided that I definitely needed a haircut. I was lucky enough to find an appointment here, for today. It had been five months since my last haircut. My stylist's name was Shun and I love his haircut! This place is just down the street from me, in the #ilikaihotel Everyone that works there is Japanese. I do not speak Japanese, so was happy that my stylist was comfortable speaking English. Not sure what he said about me to his coworkers but . . . ‍oh well. read more

久しぶりに日本人の方に、カット、カラー、トリートメントをして頂きました！ 白髪も酷かったのですが、とてもお好みのカラーにして頂きカットもレイヤーを少し入れて頂いて シャンプーもとっても丁寧でパーフェクトでした！！ お値段も幾つか選ばせていただけて、リーズナブルだと思います。 担当の方はMaruさんです！おすすめですよ！！ I recently had a haircut, color, and treatment done by a Japanese stylist after a long time! My gray hair was quite noticeable, but they managed to give me the perfect color I wanted. They also added a bit of layering to the cut, and the shampoo was incredibly thorough and perfect! The price was reasonable, with a few options to choose from. My stylist was Maru, and I highly recommend them read more

SoHo Hair Salon - A Luxurious Treat for "That Extra" Hair Service! This was my first visit to SoHo Hair Salon, and it was truly a treat! The head and scalp massage was what initially drew me in, and it did not disappoint. My stylist, Masa, was absolutely fabulous--courteous, highly professional, and incredibly skilled. The massage was so relaxing that I wished it could have lasted twice as long! What made the experience even better was how seamlessly everything flowed--our group of three started and finished at the same time, making it a perfect shared indulgence. It was an amazing "Space Day" for all of us--a first, but certainly not the last! If you're looking for that extra touch of luxury in your hair care routine, I highly recommend SoHo Hair Salon. You won't regret it! read more

My family and I visited this hair salon in 2019, 2022, and last week. It has been our family tradition that we go to this hair salon every time we visit Hawaii. We have been so impressed with this salon's hairstylists. They really listen and understand the hairstyle you want, and they deliver every time. Highly recommended!!! WE WILL BE BACK SOON!!! read more

Very kind! The shop was super clean and well put together. The products used on my hair made it super soft and shampoo and cut for 50$ is great especially on island. read more

I've been going to Soho Hair Salon for almost 10 years. You can make appointment online. Parking is at the back side of the hotel and the salon will validate it. The interior is very clean with nice music. Staffs are very friendly as well. Azuma-san is my top favorite hair stylist. He's very acknowledged on different types of hairstyles. I always let him decide my haircut. In addition, DO NOT miss their Onsen hair spa treatment. Also, they always have annual promotion and you can check on their website for more information. read more

I was able to get an appointment pretty easily because they have plenty stylist who are skilled. Hard to understand because they're primarily Japanese speaking, so the accent is hard to hear through. But they're super patient and nice!! I sat down, told them what I wanted (Japanese Hair Straightening) and they did the usual + offers. But I didn't need anything else. They ran an anniversary special when I went so there was also a free cut. But I didn't need that either. I'm not sure how often they have specials, but it's worth to go when they do! Overall love how straight my hair turned out. My friend recommended me, and I recommended another friend to go. Park in the back where it's only $1 per hour, by the pier/public parking. Take the back stairs up to Ilikai, and walk to the front of the lobby. There's a hallway of shops and Soho is in there. Ask for Maru :) but everyone is just as good. read more

今回のカットではイリカイサロンのスタッフ皆さんのお陰で2回に分けて本日無事カット完成いたしました！ イリカイチャペルで演奏の仕事の合間にカットをお願い出来ないかと予約無しで伺ったところ、先ずミナミさんが何とか時間を見つけ私の番を取ってくれました。 担当は静岡出身キュートなアキナちゃん。 せっかく時間を作って貰ったにも関わらず何事も予定通りに行かないのが世の常。。。 私の次の仕事へのスタンバイ時間が迫り残念ながら途中で打ち切りする事になりました。 アキナちゃんも次のお客様の元に行き、店長が「チームワークで頑張ります」とアイロン仕上げをしてくれました。 私はチャペルに大急ぎで戻りましたが、シルエットはほぼ私の希望通りで、チャペルウェディングの仕事仲間にも大好評でした！ 途中でストップして戻ったと報告すると皆んな一様に「充分完成してる！」と驚いていました。 そして1週間後アキナちゃんにカットを完成形にして貰う為、再びサロンに出向きました。 私が無理を言ったにも関わらずスタッフ全員快くお出迎え頂きとても嬉しかったです。 今回は先にシャンプーして貰ってから、後半カットがスタートしました。 アキナちゃんのカットポイントはバランスの良いところでしょうか？ カット前には7頭身だったスタイルが8頭身に見えるから不思議！(笑笑) 閉店前の最終時間にあらためてスケジュールを確保して貰い、アキナちゃん自身も納得する仕上がりを目指し丁寧にお仕上げをしてくれました。 今、巷で流行の揉みあげ部分を残す耳掛けスタイルです。 私がもみあげをルパンの影響？と聞いてアキナちゃんに大受けしました、どうやらこのもみあげを指す名称が有ると教えて貰ったのに今朝はすっかりそれを忘れました(爆) 此処に来るといつもスタッフの皆さんと楽しい話題と笑いでリラックス出来ます。最後に店長に写真を撮って頂きアキナちゃんに見送りを受けて私は家路に着きました。 今回も楽しくプロフェッショナルな時間をありがとうございました。 かなりのベリーショートなので次回行くのは少し先になりそうですが、またスタッフの皆さんと心地良い時間を過ごしたいと思います！ read more

Wonderful cut, color, and overall salon experience - just wish I lived here so I could come here all the time. Thank you so much, Azuma-san!! Love my new expensive-looking hair! read more

The designer named Maru accepted my request well, and he was prudent while trimming my hair. For instance, while thinning my hair, he kept confirming if it was okay to continue thinning. So I could adjust my style. read more

Finally got to change my damaged 2 years grown hair! I wanted to tone down my hair and requested for blue toned black and the hair artist Daisuke-San did an amazing job without bleaching my hair! Super duper satisfied with the result!

I came here to get my haircut yesterday because my normal stylist was out of town. I asked for something very simple which was to cut a few inches off, curtain bangs, and to remove some weight from my hair. It took a while for my hair to get cut, which is great if it turned out good. When my hair was getting blow dryed no heat protectant was put in first which I was skeptical about. Then when I was done I couldn't see the back of my hair until I got home because they didn't give me a mirror to look at the back, it was in a V shape which I didn't want. I just wanted one straight across cut. I paid $45 plus a 15% tip for something that I didn't really want. It was hard to communicate to them what I wanted and I made sure to ask the front desk if they spoke English so they could be able to understand me before I booked. The front desk lady was nice but that's about it. I would recommend paying a little extra to go to a different salon to get the cut you want. They also refused to at least give a bit of a discount for their bad cut.... read more

I went in for a Cut & Color & asked for Kyan as my HairStylist (recommened frm a friend) The customer service is outstanding! The salon was absolutely clean & comfortable. The moment I walked in I was greeted & handed a glass of Iced Tea. Kyan first sat with me & asked how I wanted my hair done, style & color. He explained his part in accompishing my hairstyle that I wanted & then gave me a price that I would be paying by the end of it all. What he did was.. Cut/Thin & Shape. Color:Balayage & Hair treatments.. I would definitely recommened this salon!! read more

I've been having haircut every time visiting Hawaii and they never disappoint me, all of the hair stylist are so professional, even my girls are their frequent customers. read more

I've been looking for a hairstylist for a long time. After reading reviews and referrals from friends, I decided to give Soho Salon a try. Like many places in Waikiki, you'll need to pay for parking, but it's a small price to pay for excellent service.There's lots of parking on the street and probably the cheapest too - $1/hour. Ilikai hotel parking is available but it may be more expensive than street parking. My appointment was at 1pm and I arrived 10 minutes early because I read in a review that they give a questionnaire to help the stylist learn about your hair. The questionnaire is very simple and straightforward. Japanese is spoken at this salon but their English is excellent. The salon was busy today. I had emails to answer so it wasn't a big deal for me to wait. I was greeted by Shiro and he asked how I wanted my hair and suggested that I do highlights instead of one color. I am so glad he did that!! Shiro dry cut my hair and I'm so glad he did. He also colored my hair - ash brown was the color we decided on ($68). Shiro also suggested that I have the Inphenom Treatment (I hope I spelt that correct) and that is $48. It was very refreshing and relaxing. A woman took me to shampoo my hair and began my treatment. A few minutes into the treatment, Azuma came and completed it. He, then, guided me back to my seat and began to blow dry my hair. Azuma had to finish another client so Minami finished my hair. I think it's so awesome that the hairstylist came come together and help each other out. That's a rare thing to see. At the end, Shiro came back and checked in with me. He also apologized with the salon being busy. I really appreciated it. I am so happy with my new haircut and it's SO much cooler. Lol. I highly recommend anyone at Soho :) I will definitely come back to see Shiro. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! read more

W(hair) is the best place on the island to do your hair? THIS PLACE. My last appointment here was in 2017, back during my UHM days. Mānoa's not too far from Waikiki, so the drive over to get an extreme makeover was great. Parking at the small boat harbor behind the Ilikai and adjacent to the Rainbow Tower lagoon of the Hilton Hawaiian was easy to find on a sunny weekday, and at just $1 per hour, it's a bargain. Shiro Kyan (aka Kyan) was able to accommodate my hair desires but also gently gave me input on what would look best. And his recommendations didn't fail- I came out looking great, and unexpectedly pampered to the max with free iced tea and a head massage as I was getting my hair washed. A few years and decent hair appointments later, I ended up back here. I reasoned with myself that a trek from my hometown would be worth it-- especially if I knew that my hair would end up being worth a couple hundred bucks or slightly less. And it was the same amazing experience that I had remembered! Everything to a tee. Plus, I was running late to my appointment and because I had notified them in advance via phone, no late fees were charged! And the total for a haircut + full hair color + treatment + top-notch service? Slightly more than $170. Amazing deal. For as long as I'm living on O'ahu, it's Kyan and only Kyan that makes the cut when it comes to my hair. read more

Updated: On 12/26, I went back the salon to fix my hair and the salon was not too busy . I tried to explain what I wanted to my stylist and reperm my hair again..... This time I can feel she tried to do her best and take 3 hours in this process . I can see the difference ( picture 6&7). Don't come to curly hair in the holiday season, you may be disappointed... read more

I'm a grandma, but I don't need to look like one. So I came in here for a root color, and I had the best care. The colorist explained each step of the process, and then when my hair was ready to be rinsed, I was given THE BEST scalp massage in my life!! The stylist (different person) then used 2 hair dryers at the same time to dry long my hair quickly. My hair was super soft and shiny. I honestly wished that I knew Japanese so that I could say more than just "arigato gozaimasu". The colorist was excellent and the stylist too. read more

I always have great experience here. Daisuke did my digital perm. They listened carefully to what I wanted and done with my hair every step of the way. Must try the ozone treatment! Highly recommend to anyone. read more

Just 10/10 I feel so amazing! Thanks Yoshi and team. I did the combo with scalp treatment and head massage and added pre conditioner and deep conditioner. I feel human again! Thanks Yoshi-San for spending the time to thin out my plentiful thick hair! I've already sent your business cards to all of my friends. See you again soon! read more

I'm surprised that the majority of the ​Yelp reviews for Soho are happy with color services but not hair cuts! My experience was the ​exact opposite. I went to Soho for hair cuts and simple highlights for the past three years. I was always satisfied with their haircuts and recommended Soho to all of my friends and family. Soho's service is prompt, ​and they have friendly staff. Soho's prices are very affordable. They stick to the agreed cost mentioned at the start of your appointment. In my experience, prices may vary​ on the rarest occasion but generally for a discount. (Disclaimer, not always accurate.) The service I requested at my last visit to Soho was an ombré/balayage. I showed the stylist example photos, and the results were NOT nearly close to it! I was not happy with the results and paid over ​$250+ for the service. (Balayage services usually are​ quite pricey. However, this was not a balayage service-- more of a blunt ombre with chunky halo highlights. NOT A FAN.) My appointment, for this Yelp review, took place in February of 2019​. I didn't feel comfortable writing a negative review of​ my experience. However, this is what took place and I hope no one else​ goes through this disappointing "balayage" experience​ as well. Off of this experience alone, I would've rated it with one star. However, the staff is kind and has produced great results in my past experience. I'm quite sad to publish such a low review. (These photos were taken​ two weeks later while getting my hair fixed at a different salon.) read more

Excellent service and prices. My hair hasn't looked this good in years. Try the ozone treatment for added moisture.

Hair color was exactly what I wanted! Super pleased with the service and the pricing was reasonable!

I've been to numerous hair salons from j salon, salon blanc, terra, and so on... but I believe I finally found the hair salon for me! Soho is moderately priced and provides such good service. They make you feel relaxed and don't really push extra products that you don't really need. The salon is located at the ilikai hotel so parking may be a little rough around the edges. They have metered stalls in the back of ilikai but normally it's full. I was lucky enough at one point cause I worked at the Hilton next door. So this salon was just a few feet away from my office. Now I'm stationed somewhere else and I don't have that luxury, so I'm off to finding street parking like everyone else. I go to azuma now. He's always nice. I always do the same cut always. Sometimes adding a little extra. They also do air wave perms which is neat. Just beware it takes a really long time!! The last time I did it I luckily made it just in time for dinner. I wish they disclose that ahead of time. It actually worked really well and lasted a while - longer than my digital perm that only lasted less than a week. My hair is just too straight! The pricing here is really good too. If you request a specific person it's an additional 10$ but even with that it's not that bad either. I used to spend way more at terra and so this is such a bargain! The only downside is the location! It seems like they cater to mostly Japanese clients there's not too many locals that come in here. Or from what I've seen anyway. But I enjoy Japanese salons and don't mind that they have a language barrier as long as my hair is done good. read more

Got a haircut with Mio Hanawa. She replicated the exact haircut I wanted perfectly! She is a very good listener and was thorough in confirming what it is I wanted and how she would go about achieving the look for me. I am very happy with the results! The salon is following very safe covid procedures. Upon arrival they check your temperature, have you sanitize your hands, fill out a waiver, and show your negative covid results for travel safe if you travelled recently. This all happens outside of the salon before entering. I appreciate the establishment for taking procedures seriously. They also collect information for contact tracing. read more

I got a haircut and color with Minami -- he did such an amazing job! My hair was damaged bc of beaching in the past and Minami recommended not getting a perm and just color this time. The color turned out great and the cut fits my face shape well. Very great experience and THANK YOU, Minami. I would definitely recommend this place :) read more

TLDR: easy to make an appointment, friendly staff! (although nay have language barrier), great haircuts! I very very very rarely post reviews, so when I do, you know it's real. I've been going to the same lady to cut my hair since I was a baby! Recently, she retired and moved to Korea so I've been on the hunt for a good salon to cut my hair. I couldn't find a salon that would take my indecisive, make a reservation at the last minute self so I ended up cutting MY OWN HAIR and hating it. I ended up finding this place on Yelp and called for a next day reservation! Praise the heavens! They make you sign out a sheet if you are a first time customer. I giggled to myself at the choices given, I think it was a question on how you wanted your hair to look? Can't quite remember but I do remember thinking it was an entertaining way to past the time. I noticed that a couple of the staff do not speak English very well, but there are also a handful of staff that can, so I wouldn't say it's a big deal. Azuma cut my hair and he was so friendly and personable! I love how he made sure I was satisfied with the cut. He also made sure of exactly what I wanted to do to my hair (cut and quick head spa), and how much it would cost before he started doing anything with my hair. I walked out 100% satisfied and will definitely be back! read more

I've been to soho hair salon twice now and have loved my haircut both times. The stylists ask for what you want, and can also use reference photos too. I have naturally wavy Asian hair, and they both did a great job cutting it. Both my stylists were very friendly, and the prices are super reasonable. I can't recommend the salon enough - in fact, I've gotten my sister and mom to go to the salon as well, and they also love their haircuts. read more

This is my third visit to Soho Hair Salon. I get my hair done by Shiro each time, he is absolutely amazing and really pays attention to detail. Before we begin each session, he makes sure what it is exactly that I want and how much I'll be paying at the end and I like that. This time, I wanted to experiment with a much bolder hair color than I'm used to, and he really took the time to go over the process and the time it'll take, as well as providing his own recommendations. As always, my hair turned out looking and feeling great. Shiro and all of the stylists and staff here are so friendly and welcoming, I always feel comfortable and taken care of even when I'm here for hours. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a hidden gem!! I've never been to a Japanese hair salon before, but they truly know their way around hair. For a cut (in which a significant amount of thinning was done- my head feels pounds lighter) with layers and a balayage (with minimal bleaching!!) the total was $280 which is very reasonable. The hair dressers are super considerate and ask for photos of what you want- and they actually emulate it! My man perfectly balanced ashy cool & warm tones and layered my hair immaculately- all my abg dreams have come true! Super recommend, everyone is very friendly and knowledgable about asian hair! read more

Great services, very courteous good men's haircut. Easy location for us. Will come back again.

I love this salon but I hate my haircut. I'm so sorry, I don't like to write negative reviews because I don't want to cost anyone business. My stylist didn't really cut my hair, he just used thinning shears all around my head and of course it is uneven and frizzy. I went back to get it fixed and he was very polite and kind. He attempted to fix it but one side still flips out. The damage was already done. When I told him this he told me to blow dry it. I will need to get it professionally cut by someone else. Again I'm so sorry to have to post this. I love this salon for their head spa and I have had two good haircuts before with Marin. She is very good!! Use her for hair cuts read more
