North Shore Salon & Spa

I’ve been going to Kandy for a pixie cut and complicated color for over a year now, and I can’t believe I’ve never left a review. I’m generally very picky and probably not the easiest customer to work with, but Kandy always just smiles and says «Sure!» and figures out how to do it. She is an ARTIST with color. She’s also got a wonderful sense of humor and visiting the salon is something I look forward to every month or two. I highly recommend this salon (especially Kandy) for anyone who’s looking for a relaxed, happy environment on the North Shore with quality work.

For the first time in 4 years, I felt AMAZING leaving a salon! It was my first time coming here thanks to a recommendation from a co-​worker. I made an appointment with Kaitlyn, and I had a relaxing, pleasant, experience. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, and made sure I felt comfortable enough to speak up if I had any concerns. So comfortable that I didn’t feel the need to watch what she was doing, and was able to genuinely enjoy the experience. THANK YOU, KAITLYN!!!

I brought my friend I to get her hair and makeup down for her wedding. The ladies were fantastic and the customer service was top notch. So pleased with Courtney and Kandace.

On December 12^th I had my hair and makeup done by Kandy did an amazing job! The salon was beautiful and clean, I was offered something to drink as soon as I sat down. I would recommend this Salon to everyone.

I’m writing this review based on my experience over a year ago (eeek i know, I’m so late) I had contacted this location 2 days prior to my wedding (I know I know) they usually aren’t open on Sunday’s but lucky for me I believe they were doing kids hair cuts and were able to take me (thank you). The day of my appt there was a mixup with the time and we got lost, but they were still able to accommodate me. (I was so nervous that I would get attitude for the time mix up and being late but I got the complete opposite) it was my first time here and they make you feel At home. My hair turned out better than the picture I had showed her. Thank you so much!

I just moved here from LA and have been going to the fanciest salons for years. Kandy just gave me the BEST cut and color I’ve had in years. Love this place.

I made an appointment online for a haircut and eyebrow waxing. The owner cut my hair. I told her I wanted to grow up my hair so just a trim and to lighten up the ends. She did exactly what I asked for. The technician who worked on my eyebrows did a fantastic job! This will be my go-​to place for sure.

This place is tucked behind Kua’Aina burgers and there is ample parking. It’s very nicely decorated; not like an everyday salon; everything is open and you sit in a nice comfy chair to have your toes done. An express pedi is only $ 24 and Carmen did an awesome job — she was extremely meticulous about my pesky cuticles, and the polish too. It’s perfectly done and the ladies are all very friendly, and they speak english perfectly so you can be sure they understand what you want.

Today I went in to get a massage by summer it was awesome and I got my eyelashes tinted as well. last week I got my eyebrows waxed & .tomorrow I’m going back for a facial… they all were sweet and professional I love how it felt like i was family I feel so relaxed. They make u feel comfortable and nothing seems rushed… love them
Update…got my facial today omg amazing I was relaxed to whole time and I think I did doze off couple times

We had a mother-​daughter spa day and all enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend this place when visiting the area.

I was in Northshore to get married on the beach at 9am. These wonderful ladies were willing and came in at 7:30am to do my make up and me and my sisters hair for the ceremony and did a great job, were fun to work with, and made us look marvelous. I really enjoyed Candace and appreciated them so much for coming in so early. Their prices were super reasonable too. I would highly recommend them!!!

Joe is THEE best. Totally understands how expensive laser hair removal can be. So try to talk to Him directly about pricing. I had 6 treatments of bikini and underarm done and couldn’t be happier. I’m back to try see what he can do about my acne scars. Definitely has some of the best equipment on island.

So i just came from North Shore Salon and Spa, and I am thrilled I did. Courtney did my hair. She gave me some stylish bangs and waxed my eyebrows. Love love love it. Will be back soon. Maye next time to get some highlights. The salon looks so upscale and beautiful. Friendly environment, lots of parking. Courtney was extendedly nice and had many tips to give me. I recommend everyone to come in to this salon and all of their prices are fair and reasonable.

I came here for a last minute, much needed wax and I was certainly not disappointed! A huge bonus for being open on a Sunday, too. The staff was friendly and helpful, the service was quick and sanitary, and the company was great!
This place isn’t anywhere near where I live, but I will make the drive up there for their service… and then some shrimp and shave ice to finish off the trip :)

I live here on the island and go to the North Shore Salon and Spa for a bikini wax regularly. You can’t beat the price, and it’s close to home. I once had a pedicure here for a tad too much money, and was underwhelmed. But I can def recommend the waxing services! It’s a nice atmosphere, with chilled cucumber water, great décor and friendly service.

Thank you so much North Shore Salon & Spa! My daughter and I came here on my wedding day (and arriving 30 minutes LATE no less) to have hair and makeup done. We were able to bring plumerias from our yard in and they were able to use them all. I have short hair, but somehow by som miracle of hair «magic» my hair was done in an updo! It was amazing. My makeup stayed in place all day… no smearing, smudging or anything. Perfect photo ready makeup. My daughter truly felt like a princess. We will definitely return here on our next venture to the North Shore!

I have come here several times, taking advantage of their Groupon offer (3 green tea mani pedis), as well as getting a pedicure with a friend without the Groupon. It gives me the excuse to drive up to the North Shore from Mililani and go to Stortos afterwards, but I digress.
The location itself leaves much to be desired. The first time I went my friend and I passed the driveway. There isn’t a big sign for the salon and if you blink you’ll miss it. We ended up calling the salon and had to give us clearer directions. (Right across the street from Longs.) Inside the space is big but the lighting is dim and the colors are drab. This place has a lot of potential, but unfortunately it does not deliever.
The service is very inconsistent. The women working in the Salon are dressed as if they are selling upscale services, but the truth of the matter is I can spend 25−50% less and get better service. One of the nail technicians I had gossiped about the other ladies and bad mouthed her boss the entire time. It left me feeling uncomfortable.
I do have to compliment Candance who did my nails/​toes once. She was super friendly, upbeat, and had me cracking up with her stories.
Another issue I have with this salon is with the Groupons, you cannot leave a tip unless you brought cash– and the nearest ATM is across the street at Longs. (They won’t run your card for it.) Unfortunately, two different times I forgot this fact and had to run across the street. Not a big deal if you’re not big on tips, but if you do– something to remember.
Overall, I would say unless you are in the area– there are much better places to go. Because I had the Groupon a few times I generally wasn’t paying full price, but even that was too much for this lackluster salon.

Kandy (the owner of North Shore Salon & Spa) did my hair and makeup for me on my wedding day and she was absolutely lovely to work with. She did my cut and color the week before and she saved me because I was wanting to go blonder to match my lightened ends — but she suggested that she actually tone down my color overall to look more natural. This was a GENIUS suggestion because I realized later that if I’d tried to go that blonde right before my wedding, I wouldn’t have looked like me. She did a fabulous job on the color and was personable and professional.
On the wedding day — she came to the house we were getting ready at and was a fabulous part of my wedding morning in the bridal suite. Again, she was wise enough to encourage me to do false lashes even though I was hesitant because I’m a bit of a hippie at heart. She assured me that she would make me look very natural but that a little bit of glamour would really pop in photos and make the day extra special.
She was SO right. My makeup looked flawless all day — the lashes were perfection for the photos — my hair was absolutely perfect (I had shown her several photos of the styles I liked — and she personalized the style to suit me and to work with the mangtika I was wearing as well.)
Overall — she was a pleasure to work with — professional, prompt, reasonably priced and a bubbly fun personality.
I am definitely going to consider her my stylist on the island from here on out (even though I live in town.)
When my husband saw me on our wedding day — he said he almost didn’t recognize me (in a good way) — and that I looked, in his words — like a goddess.
What more can a girl ask for?
Mahalo for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day Kandy.
See you soon for my next cut!
(PS — I added photos of the wedding day!) :)

I’m writing this review for my mother because she doesn’t know how to use the internet.
Worth going to the North Shore to pamper yourself. Excellent massages at hard to find price in Hawaii. Ask for Summer or Sheila.

Oopsie… they moved down the street !
I went there last summer, when I first moved here.
I don’t go o salons, so I can’t really review it, but last time I checked, it was lively and very clean!
