5 stars and nothing less! Gabbi is ah-mazing. I had a 'balayage' done previously that I was not so in love with through another hair salon/stylist. As soon as I sat down and looked at my hair, it's like she read my mind.. she knew exactly what was bugging me about it. We talked in detail about what I wanted and she quickly went to work. After a couple of hours she fixed my hair and made it even BETTER than I was expecting. Bonus, she is SUPER nice and always made sure I was comfortable. Done. I'll never go to anyone else. Thanks, Gabbi! Regarding the salon, it's colorful, fun, energetic, clean, and super family friendly. It's a very casual non-super judgey-salon vibe ... breath of fresh air if you know what I mean .. ;) I am one happy gal! Thank you to The Beauty Spot and Gabbi! read more

I been going to Lisa for over 6/7 years... that prob says a lot. She listens to what u want and gives great advice ... and boom! actually does it!!! its a cute place.. every ones very nice i love that it has parking-right in front ... read more

Last month, I went on vacation to the mainland. Stopped in at my old salon to have them color my hair. Showed them a picture of the look I was going for. My hair came out wrong!!! Called the salon the next day and asked them to fix it. Went in later that week and showed the same pic to a new colorist. I came out looking like the little mermaid. I will say it was fun for a minute, but, again, not what I wanted. After almost a month of living with it, I needed it fixed. It faded drastically and looked like 6 months of grow out. It was horrible! I called Lisa, at The Beauty Spot, and explained my situation. They were booked until December. I asked if she could take my name and number for an earlier cancellation. She said she would talk to her team and call me back. Within minutes, she called back and gave me Randi's number. I messaged her with pictures of my hair. She was able to schedule me, three days later, to fix my color. The day of my appt, I showed Randi the color I was going for. I'll be honest, I was nervous and praying the third time was the charm for my hair color. Randi was awesome! She took a few minutes to really look at my hair to see what was done. I think she sensed my nervousness and explained what she was doing. She told me it would be a two step process to fix. Randi was super cute and wouldn't let me watch. She turned me away from the mirrors. The rest of the team was excited for what was happening with the color. Then came time for the "big reveal". WOW!!!!! Randi......WOW!!!!! She is fantastic!!! My hair color was perfect to what I wanted. My hair also looked and felt so much better. It didn't feel like it had been processed three times in a month. I'm so in love with her work! I'm now a forever client!!!!! Thank you, so much, for taking great care of me and giving me the color I wanted!!! read more

Gabbi is the only hair stylist that I go to. She does an amazing job at everything! Out of all the stylist I've been to in the past, she was the only one that was able to get my hair how I wanted it to look. I usually get worried when people do my hair because I have really thick and curly hair and I've had some bad experiences in the past. But she knows the right products to use and what works well with it. I also never had my hair feeling damaged after seeing her. read more

Due to medical reasons, I'm needing to take a break from all the harsh chemical processing, mainly all the bleaching/color lifting that's been done in a vain attempt to achieve silvery ashy highlights (sigh). Decided to go back to a more evenly-toned darker color since my hair is so badly damaged and could use more TLC and I was tired of it looking and feeling so unhealthy. GABBI was the sweetest as can be! I just love this girl! She took the time to evaluate my hair and gave me suggestions on how she could color & blend my brassy roots to make it look more natural. I was out in less than an hour with gorgeous healthy-looking hair, yassss! Gabbi is awesome, highly recommend you hit her up for all your coloring needs. Open daily from 9am-6pm, but by appts only, 808-542-3492. Plenty of parking in their private lot (shared with Restaurant XO). Reasonably priced and great service. Check her out on Instagram at @Gabbirosebeauty. read more

The Beauty Spot is a cute, little salon on Waialae Ave. between 8th and 9th Ave., across Punchbowl Fender Works. Convenience is key, and for me this place is "la crème de la crème!" It's literally a hop, skip, and a jump away from my bachelorette pad (that I share with the bf. Hehe.) Lisa is the owner and she just opened up shop not too long ago. She's experienced, skillful, and one of the nicest (and funniest) human beings on the planet (that I've come across in my 25 years of life). My schedule is absolutely bananas and Lisa still manages to fit me in. In other words, she's very accomodating and flexible with appointment times. I believe she takes by appointment only, so give her a ring-a-ling at (808) 221-9605. I went here last week for a cut and I am very pleased! My hair feels great -- healthier, lighter, and more manageable. Lisa and I also talked about some future hairscaping plans and I am excited!! I should be back in a few weeks or so. Reasons I will establish myself as a "regular" at The Beauty Spot: 1. Convenience (and there's parking, but I just walk) 2. Lisa's incredible reputation and work 3. The picky bf went before me and was delighted with his cut 4. The Beauty Spot just opened, so everything is especially clean (and brand spankin' new) 5. Prices are beyond reasonable 6. Hair is important! Gotta keep myself lookin' good! Yelp 365 - #205/365 read more

I always had a hard time finding a colorist, and I finally found Gabbi!! She was able to execute exactly what I wanted (picture helps!) and I am so elated how my color turned out! I am horrible at up keeping my color but she fixed it! Gabbi also cuts hair and make-up, so she does it all. She is very fair priced, easy to talk to, and I will definitely be back read more

Gabbi was so awesome!! My past experience with profesional hair dressers/stylists have been terrible. Dealing with people who claimed to work with curls only to ruin my hair or with those who scoffed at my inexperience with a profesional stylist really scared me into straying away from getting my hair done professionally but Gabbi has made the experience so lovely that I want to cry with happiness :,) She is so down to earth and really helps draw out what you want and executes the look perfectly!! Even though she herself does t have curls she is a true expert on the art of handling curly hair. Finding her has been a true blessing, I hope any and every one who is looking for a hair dresser checks the beauty spot out :)) The minute you walk in to this little whole in the wall you feel comfortable as all of the staff have that aloha spirit it's so hard to find nowadays! read more

Gabbi is the I wanted a bob cut and I wanted to go shorter than I have ever cut my hair. Ive been to other shops in the past and no one has ever gotten it exactly to my liking. Well guess what? not this time. Gabbi did an amazing job and now I don't think I have to look anywhere else. I sent my 9 & 8 year old for their first haircuts to her just a few days later because they wanted the same cut as mommy. We all now are in love with our new dos and owe it all to her. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon. Lisa, Randy and Dayna are always so happy and welcoming. There is a warm ohana feeling when you walk in. Everyone is relaxed, talking story and even the customers tell you hi. The warm wood tones and open space makes you want to stay and hangout with everyone. There is also a tv for you/your friends to watch while waiting. One of the best things about coming here is that you never feel pressured to cut your hair in any other way than what you want. If you have an idea and talk to any one of the stylists you will walk out with exactly what you pictured. I have referred my friends to Lisa especially when their haircut/color didn't come out they way they wanted it. She does great work and can fix almost anything!!! Tip of the day: call for an appointment. These three ladies are constantly busy and while they would love to take walk-ins, it's better to have an appointment. read more

Rude people. My hair turn out not the way that I want even when I show them the picture of exactly what I want. And then they have this old guy on the bike guarding their salon area parking. He asked my husband if he want his car tow for waiting on me. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Been to lots of others Hairdressers over the years, this Haircut that I got today from "Beauty Spot is the best one I've had in at least 15 Years! Today was the first time I have ever gone to Beauty Spot" Randi is the stylist that took care of me Randi did an awesome job, and I love it!! Atmosphere there is so warm and comfortable they make you feel so welcomed. Reminds me of the saying: There is no strangers just friends you haven't met yet! The Best part is that my husband is my second worse critic after myself. He always asks me how much it cost, and makes comments.. well today when I got home, my husband looked at me and said "Wow that looks really, really nice, what a nice job, I really like it!" Didn't even ask the cost or anything. I eventually told him how much it was...he said it didn't matter "It looks gorgeous, Magic" Thank you so much Randi!!!! I'm over the moon and so is my husband!!! read more

Lisa has been cutting my hair for 7 years. Always a great cut! She understands how to tame unruly hair that has a mind of its own and she doesn't try to force it. She is very accommodating with appointments. The salon has easy parking right at the door. read more

I've had Gabbi cut my hair twice now and she is the best! She's super quick but does an amazing job! Highly recommend!!

My older daughter went to see Gabbi and my younger daughter and I went to see Dayna. We were all VERY happy with how our hair turned out. My older daughter had very long, thick, and wavy hair and she is a total low maintenance kind of girl. She wanted a shorter cut, right below her shoulders, and Gabbi cut and styled it perfectly. Gabbi worked with her waves and her thickness and now my daughter's hair is the best it's ever been. I had a cut and color with Dayna and couldn't be happier. My younger daughter has curly hair and was sun damaged and Dayna trimmed it to get all the dead ends off and look fresh again. Everyone at the Beauty Spot is so friendly and we will definitely be back to get our hair done again! read more

A while ago, I needed to find a new hairstylist and walked into Hino's in Ala Moana. Randi was the bomb and she's been taking care of my quick-growing-Okinawan-hair ever since -- and now she moved here to the Beauty Spot. I'm pretty sure I'm her most frequent customer because my hair grows faster than anyone on the planet. If you knew me for a long time, you'd know that I'm picky about my hair. I've had crazy hairstyles (e.g. shaved head w/ long bleached bangs, bleached-blonde hair, the boy-band hair, etc.) and wouldn't let just anyone cut my hair. Go see Randi and you won't be disappointed. read more

Lisa had been my looooong time hairstylist when she was at Hino's in Ala Moana. So glad she's independent now and literally a stone's throw away from my house! This salon is a cute spot, clean and the price is right. Lisa is so good at what she does, knowing just what my hair needs, and she is fast! No wasting time...I can be in and out but still feel like I got the total royal treatment :) read more

Dayna colored my hair and fixed my crazy haircut my sister did on me. lol i walked out of there feeling AMAZING. she is now going to be the one and ONLY person thats going to color/cut my hair. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY HAIR!!!!! Randi is an awsome hairstylist that has a natural gift of picking the hairstyle that suits you and your lifestyle. Im a very lazy person when it comes to hair, but I still want to look fabulous :) She gives me a cute trendy hair style that is so easy to maintain!!!! And best of all, my hair still looks fabulous weeks later!!!!! If you want a quality hair cut from a very personable and talented person, give her a call!!!! 721-4871 Gina Ramson Wahiawa, Hawaii read more

Found this place by chance. I messaged them and got a response Uber fast. I was referred to Gabbi and let me tell you....She's a hair whisperer! I did a partial highlight (she suggested the color) and a cut. It looks amazing! I absolutely love it!! She was very friendly, easy to talk to and when I started to snooze a bit she let me be. I will definitely be coming back to see her. read more

Warm and friendly welcome. Great service! No problem making an appointment via Yelp, good response time, and I love my new do! I felt comfortable and confident enough to let the professional (Randi) have at it with my hair. Gorgeous cut and perfect color! Found my new salon. read more

Seen Dayna a few times at her old salon. When she moved to The Beauty Spot, I tried out several different stylists. There wasn't really anyone who did my hair like Dayna. Although she is located in Kaimuki, she is worth the drive out from Wahiawa to get my hair did. The other stylists she works with are super sweet too & I'm sure they're just as great! read more

Ok. So I am pretty picky about my hair. actually VERY. I have been with Lisa for almost 15 years. and once in a while, on a business trip, I might end up in SOHO or the East village or Tokyo and having some flamboyant fella cut. But in the end, it always gets better going back to Lisa. She is proper, listens, has time to chat and the greatest thing she ever said to me? I asked her how she deals with stress from opening a new location up etc...she says.. cutting hair is my release! WOW.. talk about dedication! her prices are good and there always seems to be parking. she is accomodating with her schedule and its as good as it gets without paying ridiculous amounts of money... read more

I love this place! There has always been parking, it is clean and although a smaller space, has high ceilings that make it still feel bright and not cramped. All the women that work there are friendly and Randi does a great job with my hair. I've gotten many compliments on her cut and color work, even from other hair stylists! The main thing I would change is that the pricing isn't very clear so I never really know how much things are going to cost. They don't have a receptionist so the first time I had to leave a message and wait until the stylist called me back with contact number that I've been able to use to reach her directly. read more

Lisa does color to perfection. She is efficient and I'm always happy with the results. I highly recommend The Beauty Spot. The shop is clean and convenient. The atmosphere and conversation is fun. Above all else, I leave very satisfied with the color. read more

Been coming here for years. Facility is nice, private and clean. Prices are very affordable and staff is super friendly

I've been going to Lisa for over 15 years now and would definitely not have anyone else cut my hair. She just opened shop and its a great location and very easy to find with lots of parking available. I would definitely recommend this shop to any male or female looking for a great hair salon with a fantastic owner. read more

I have been getting my hair done by Dayna and she is definitely the bomb dot com. I have been to hair professionals in Las Vegas, O'ahu, the Big Island, and Florida. No one compares to her. She uses at least two colors to blend hi lights and/or hombres where as other places I have been to uses only one so it looks terrible. I have long hair and it has taken me quite some time to grow it out so she understands me when i ask for a trim. Others define trim as make over. N.O. I actually recommend the other two ladies in the shop, Lisa and Randy Every time I am there, their clients walk out looking fabulous. Thank you Beauty Spot. read more

I am so glad I went to the beauty spot to do my hair. Thank you Lisa for coloring my hair and doing a quick cut. Hated my hair it looked so dead. I will definetly return for my next session! read more

First timer at the Beauty Spot. Gabbi chopped my hair (just as I requested) and gave me some beautiful balayage/highlights. I've gotten so many compliments and people asking where I got my hair done. Will def be back! read more

Randi has cut my hair for years and she is top notch! Her skill and sense of style are spot on. She and the rest of the ladies are all really friendly and create a warm vibe that makes you feel at home - not like some other stuffy salons I've been too. read more

I have gotten frustrated with the large salons where the staff keeps changing, so I wanted to try a small salon. I have curly hair and everyone else tries to cut it to be straight. Lisa did a beautiful job of cutting it so I would only have to wash and lightly blow dry. She left it soft and natural feeling. Fantastic, friendly, professional service all around. And I was amazed at the reasonable price. read more

I've waited several weeks before writing this review because I wanted to see if I was going to get the same look that Gabbi gave me on my new "do"! I did!! So easily. And not only that, but my hair has grown out and still looks pretty good! (And, no I don't have the beautiful long tresses so many have. I'm a senior that went from a "nothing" style from the owner of a long-established, fairly well-known salon, to a great short style - exactly what I wanted! Gabbi, Mahalo plenty!! Now I have to stop this review and get another appointment! I'm overdue! read more

After reading so many positive reviews, my daughter and I were hoping to try the beauty spot. I grew up and live in the community and am a big supporter of the neighborhood businesses. A family friend also owns a business in the same complex so we thought we'd try it. Unfortunately, when I sent my teenage daughter in to ask for a service menu, they simply told her they ran out and offered no other information or assistance. I'm sure they're great with their existing clients, but it seems that they are not interested in taking on new ones :( read more

The gang at Beauty Spot is awesome! The are funny and they always make you feel welcomed. Lisa has been cutting my hair and families for a year now. She always gives a great cut! read more

I have been going to Lisa Kawai for YEARS, followed her from Hino's and I absolutely LOVE her! She knows not to cut my hair too short and she suggests different styles when I tire of the same ole' thing! She even took the time to teach me how to use the hair straightener that I purchased! They serve coffee there and even gave me cookies! I even take my daughter there since she only wants Aunty Lisa to cut her hair! Check them out, I've even requested cutting my hair like a little girl that was having her hair cut by another stylist, they ALL ROCK! read more

Update to my previous review... I received a text from Lisa yesterday apologizing and explaining that there was some miscommunication on their part due to a personal family matter. So, it would appear that they do care about new customers. Will give them a try. read more

My husband and I have taken our 3 year old son here twice and have had great experiences both times! We made a request for our appointments via Yelp and received quick responses from Lisa (within a half hour!) The first and second time Randi was able to take us in and was able to work with our late schedule (5:30 pm - half hour before closing.) She was so good with our toddler son who was afraid to cut his hair that the second time around he wasn't afraid at all. She did a phenomenal job talking with him during the process and making him feel comfortable. Lisa was also there and was so nice to us and my son. My husband and I really felt at ease with them. We've been to a lot of hair places for my son and the only other place that was good with kids AND did a great cut was Pig Tails and Crew Cuts, but you pay a lot for a kids cut there. The Beauty Spot was affordable and did an excellent job! We'll definitely be regulars there. read more
