I was SO happy with the service! The place itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting while the music is soothing while you have your procedure. Prices are better than other places on Kauai!! I highly recommend this place of business!! read more

My sister and I had appts with Kristy last week. It is a pretty fancy place, especially for Kalaheo. Kristy really takes her time and takes pride in her work. She spent a good hour on my sister and almost the same on my hair. She and her assistant are friendly and made us feel comfortable. I was surprised at the reasonable pricing for such a nice salon. I will certainly return and hope I am not the only guy who gets their cuts here, lol. read more

I really like this place. Michelle Austria took me in on a short notice. I like the atmosphere and it didn't feel like a crowded salon. She made me and my son feel comfortable. I will definitely come back for a touch up. read more

See all

It's okay for kaua'i. For the price- services felt a bit rushed & technique a little underwhelming. Still searching good colorist on island.

The LAB is, by far, THE BEST salon on Kauai! The salon itself is a little gem --- it's very chic and hip. Kristy Love, the owner, is very professional and a FANTASTIC stylist, colorist and makeup artist. I've had my hair thermally straightened and colored for 10+years before I moved to Kauai and Kristy did a better job than my former stylist on the mainland, and I thought she was great! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Go see her --- you'll be thrilled with the results! read more

I am really happy I was able to get my hair done by Kristy today. I love her attention to detail and the care she put into cutting my hair. She is a very caring and compassionate soul. I look forward to my next appointment. If your looking for a highly skilled hairdresser who has affordable prices this is your place. I am exited to have finally found my hairdresser on the island. Thank you so much!! read more

I went to Kristy on the second day of my honeymoon for a PWC (post-wedding chop). I had been growing out my hair for a year and half for the wedding and I was done with it as soon as that last camera flashed! I'm not sure she knew what she was getting into when I walked through the door, but she was great. She was so nice and did a fantastic job. Her prices are super reasonable too! read more

Kristy is fantastic! She gave me a better haircut than all my stylist on the mainland, and for at least half the price I had ever paid. She is very talented. I am moving back to the mainland and am so bummed I will lose her. Go to her and you will never want to go to anyone else. read more

I had my wedding in beautiful kauai on feb 5th 2016. I waited last minute to find someone to do my hair and makeup. I researched all of kauai for the best makeup artist I could find. Finally decided to go with kristy but she was booked up so misti (kristys assistant) called me back and was available the day i needed her. I was a little hesitant at first but after looking at her work on instagram (glambymisti) I decided to go with her. Since i was traveling from the mainland I was unable to do a trial run. Misti was very accommodating, she came to my condo so I wouldn't have to worry about being late to my wedding. She was punctual and very professional. Makeup was exactly what i wanted and hair was on point. I wanted a glam yet natural look and she hit it spot on. I showed her a few pics I found on pinterest and she was able to translate it into what i wanted. She is very knowledgeable in current trends and up to date in all things beauty. If your in kauai for a special occasion or just want to look fab then you need to see misti!! Thank you again misti for making me beautiful on my special day! Mahalo! read more

Kristy and The Lab is beyond amazing! The service and overall amazing talent Kristy offers. I have gone to her for years for my hair but was lucky to have her do my hair and make up for my engagement photos. I could not have asked for anything better. She also does my color and cuts and they always turn better then my exceptions. The salon also makes me feel like a pampered princess with its fun decor and feel nothing like anything else in Kauai. Kristy is so great and not only talented but a great person who is passionate and gives more then 100% with each client she works with. Can not recommend her enough! read more

Kristy is Awesome!!!! She came to my hotel to do my Wedding hair and makeup on October 12,2012. She did my hair and makeup exactly how i wanted it.. My Wedding pictures turned out fabulous. Anyone getting married in Kauai should use her. Thank You Kristy again read more

Kristy was amazing! We got married in Kauai June 2013 and I went to the LAB for hair and makeup. I lucked out finding her through an Internet search and her reviews. Her salon is beautiful and she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable during my appointment. She got it spot on for what I had in mind...this can be stressful for a bride trusting someone they've never met. From the moment I met her I was confident she would make me look beautiful for our special day. I would definitely recommend Kristy! read more

I wish I could have actually written a review on the quality of the work at The Lab. Unfortunately, after multiple attempts on my part to contact the company through both email and leaving several voicemails, no one ever returned a call or email. I was looking forward to having my hair and makeup done for my wedding next month. It's very unprofessional to not even call a potential client back when they have requested information about pricing and booking. Very unimpressed. Luckily I found someone else who promptly replied. read more

Kristy did my bridal hair and makeup for my destination wedding. Both turned out gorgeous, I have never felt so pretty! My hair was a soft romantic side swept up-do....which was bomb proof. Literally did not move for the duration of photographs, ceremony, dinner and dancing afterwards. Highly recommend Kristy. She is very talented and a very nice lady! read more

I got married on Kauai and had the unenviable task of trying to find someone to do my hair and makeup while living on the mainland and never previously visiting Kauai. Since none of my friends have gotten married here, I wasn't able to ask anyone for a recommendation for hair and makeup. I can't even remember how I found Kristy, but I am so glad I did! I booked her for a trial run for hair and makeup so that I could find out how well my hair and makeup would hold up under Kauai's sometimes withering, hair-flattening heat. Kristy accommodated for my hair's determined straightness and my hair and makeup lasted several hours through a late afternoon outdoor ceremony, several hours of pictures and a reception. I've never, EVER looked as good as I did on my wedding day- my friends raved about my hair and makeup and I have worked with some exceptional stylists before! I discovered that Kristy used to work for one of the tv networks in LA before moving back to Hawaii to raise a family and I am pretty confident that there isn't a better stylist living anywhere in Hawaii. If you get married here, this is the place to go for hair and makeup! Be sure to book early too! read more

Kristy at The Lab Salon is absolutely AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for hair/make-up artists on Kauai. I had my hair and make-up for my wedding done at her beautiful salon. My hair looked exactly how I imagined it and described it to her. She did such a great job, I could't have been happier with the outcome! She also does Airbrush make-up which looked and felt so natural. I've seen hairbrush before that looked a little caked around the eyes and not very natural, which caused me to be a little anxious about getting airbrushed. Kristy did such an amazing job. My make-up was flawless and looked so natural and gorgeous. She is very professional and a really sweet person to work with. Anyone who says differently must be an extremely difficult person to please. After doing my own research before booking her, and then working with her, I can honestly say that she is the absolute BEST you will find on Kauai! read more
