All Jazzed Up Salon

DON’T get any hair services from this place! They are amateur hair stylists carrying top of the line hair products. They will ruin your hair. After 5 hours of sitting in this salon, $ 140+, and multiple freebies offered to compensate for huge errors, I walked out with a horrific hairdo that is worse than what I came in with. I’m so mad at myself for taking a chance on this place. Now, I have to wear a ponytail on the top of my head and wait for my hair to grow out.
I usually go to my stylist in Los Angeles who uses Schwarzkopf color for hair. I needed a highlight touch up and a possibly a trim. This salon carries Schwarzkopf products. At the consultation, they said they could specially order the color that my stylist uses. My stylist gave me step by step instructions as to how they should apply it, and I relayed the information on to them multiple times. During the consultation, the owner, Eric, raved that I should also get a haircut from his stylist, Stan, who supposedly worked on hair shows and could do any style I wanted. I thought well my hair is a little grown out. I could get a trim even though I could deal with my current hair style.
HORRIBLE HAIR CUT:
Yesterday, I went into the salon at 1pm and did not leave until 6pm. I showed Stan the picture of the hair style I liked: Victoria’s secret model bombshell with long layers, right above the bust line, full voluminous back. My hair to start off with had long curly wavy layers that went down to the middle of my lower back. All I was looking for was a clean up of my current hairstyle. Trim around the edges. Nothing drastic. After 75 mins of cutting my hair, I got the ugliest shag haircut I’ve ever had. My hair looks like Ronald McDonald. My longest layer is now at my collar bone and at the top of my shoulder blades. The back is stringy and ragged instead of being full.
Now for the color, it actually came out well. But that was after 2 serious errors that I had to call them on. As I stated before, they specially ordered the Schwarzkopf color to do highlights. I told Charmaine and Eric to do partial highlights — front, top, and sides with the color.
HORRIBLE COLOR APPLICATION 1:
Charmaine, the colorist, was such a nightmare. She wouldn’t listen to me and would start blabbing on about technical color terms. I didn’t understand what she was saying half the time. In any case, she started on the highlighting process by putting my hair up and applying something to the hair at the bottom of my head. At first I thought it was the color guard to prevent your skin from getting dyed. I thought, «this is really weird.» Then she applied more and more up the back of my head. I finally asked, «What are you putting on my head? My stylist doesn’t do this.» She responded by saying «The color that you wanted.» I told her «What do you mean? That color is meant to be used for highlights. I don’t want my entire head to be that color.» She washed it all out.
HORRIBLE COLOR APPLICATION 2:
Then she started apply another layer of color to the sides of my hair. I asked her what that was because it was in a separate container from the specially ordered color. And she said it was bleach. I stopped her again and said, «I told you before I don’t want any bleach in my hair. It ruins my hair too much. Why are you applying that when I specifically told you not to?» She washed that off. I started to have a break down because of the cut and now the color. I just couldn’t understand why she couldn’t do simple partial highlights with the color I wanted. Eric finally stepped in and attempted to calm me down and said should could do the highlights. I read off my LA stylist instructions from my iphone again and she finally did it.
UNWANTED FREEBIES AND END RESULT:
Eric offered me a free conditioner treatment and wine after the color fiasco. I only accepted the conditioner treatment because they couldn’t screw that up. After they washed my hair, they offered to style it. I refused by drying my own hair. I didn’t want them to ever touch my hair again.
During the check out process… (Yes, they still charged me! $ 140 + taxes!) Eric and his daughter asked me if the hair do I received was what I wanted. I showed him the pictures that I showed to Stan and said, «No, this is what I wanted. What I got is not this!» He looked at the pictures and asked if I showed them to Stan. I answered, «Yes.» Eric then proceeded to offer me a free haircut or pedicure. I declined. After all I didn’t want freebies from a place that destroyed my hair. I just want my hair back. I walked out of the place to cry in my car.
It’s day two of my ugliest hairdo ever, and I’m still traumatized so I decided to write this to warn all of you. Stay away!

I’ve finally found a true Schwarzkopf salon, Paul Maria Salon on Waialae Ave! Paul knew exactly how to do the partial highlights. Go there!

Well my mother was in Hawaii for the first time from the SF Bay area and it was warm aloha weather. Ofcourse 2^nd day she wanted a hair cut. A local told them to check this place out. I had to write the review because my mother insisted and was blown away by the friendly service she got. and the price beat out everybody. The owner was gentle took the time to answer question and belive me my mother makes a 3 yr look bad :)*
Her hair cut looked beautiful she looked nice, my dad got a little trim as well even though he doesn’t have much hair left lol.
overall 5 stars the pace is clean, attentive, price is right, and the aloha attitude. Thats how a buisness should be run

The only reason why I give this place a bad review is because the nail technicians were not in, and the owner that did my mani/​pedi… well you will read and find out.
I wanted to treat my friend to a mani/​pedi before she left for school. She told me that this place had gotten a lot of good reviews and it was inexpensive. When I first got there, the owners were very nice and accommodating. The female owner was very sweet and gentle with my feet, but she did not give me the pedicure that I wanted. I walked away with my feet still feeling busted instead of pampered.
The female owner did not tell me that [the nail technicians were on vacation, or that she was not even nearly as experienced] when I scheduled my appointment, even when I walked in and started to soak my feet. She told me as she started to polish my toes that she was unable to do Calgel, or even paint a design on my nails. While I was getting my pedicure, her husband is telling her that he booked 5 appointments for the afternoon.
She didnt shape my nails like I asked her to. I told her «rounded» and she made them squared and slightly rounded at the corners. She told me she could make a flower design, which I agreed to let her do. When I walked over to the table to get my manicure done, she kept removing the polish to start over. The flower ended up being five dots around another dot. When I told her I wanted one rhinestone on each ring finger in the middle of that flower, she gives me 5 on each and they are placed in a way that looks like a 12 year-​old did it at a sleepover. I could tell she was just trying to rush through the whole thing because my friend was still waiting for her manicure to be done by her (THE HORROR!).
My friend said that her manicure looked more like something she could have done herself, which is a lot better in comparison to what I had. Oh yes and she didnt put on a base coat, so the french manicure that I asked for just looked like that white tape that you stick on your nails. Her exact words were :
«Oh, shoooot… I forgot the base coat… Im so sorry… Do you want me to redo it?»
…NO, not when there is a line of FOUR PEOPLE waiting just for you, and not when you already didnt do the other simple things I asked, and not after I had to watch you remove and redo all my fingers about 3 times.
People are probably thinkin, «If its so simple why dont you do it yourself!» blah blah blah… I PAY FOR THE SERVICE SO I DONT HAVE TO!~
I am not a person to complain to someones face or make them go out of their way to fix their mistakes. I was just really disappointed at how unprofessional the owners were. and how my manicurist didnt use proper judgement. I dont think people should have to ask if their nail technicians are in, or even question their manicurists abilities. I dont think Ill be coming here again, regardless of whether or not their other girls are in.
I ended up walking away feeling disappointed and tricked. When I go to get pampered, I dont like to be rushed. Since she was the only one who could paint nails, I didnt get a good quality manicure.
Dont get me wrong, the people that work here are SUPER nice, and it is SUPER cheap for a mani/​pedi. But it just doesnt make up for everything that went wrong.

Great quality pedicures at an amazing price. The women who work here are so friendly and accommodating! I can’t wait to come back with my friends again.

I chanced upon this GEM of a salon one afternoon while walking around Foodland. This is a great salon that is family– and elderly-​friendly! When you walk in you’re greeted with a warm welcome from Eric and Charmmanie (shar-​mane), the owners. I went in for a haircut and dye since school’s starting soon, but came out with all that plus more!
I can’t get over how warm and friendly the staff are here. They really show that they care about you. While getting my haircut, Charmmanie told me the person who cut my hair before made the front nice, the back not so nice – a common stylist cheap shot, boo! She suggested I get a straight cut to clean up my look so that I could get a new do the next time around. I took her advice and the results were stunning.
I also got a nice dye job. I can’t emphasize how caring Charmmanie was! She was always concerned if the dye were at all irritating my scalp or making it sore (because that’s what can happen), but since she was super gentle I didn’t feel any soreness… at all. I really appreciated the time she took in making me comfortable and making sure every inch of my hair was covered in dye. She later informed me a lot of customers come in with terrible dye jobs where there’s missing pockets of dye on the backside of the head that SHE has to fix. Who woulda thought!
I will return again!!!
(-) A little hard to find since there is little signage, but look for the blinking «nail spa salon» sign on the second level to the right of Foodland! It’s upstairs so not handicap accessible, but still, super convenient since it’s right around the corner to Foodland. Love love love!

My wife gets her hair styled there a lot. Price is reasonable and the staff are friendly. They recently acquired some very skilled stylists and can pretty much take on any hair type. Just make sure you call ahead and reserve your stylist as they are not always available with walk-​ins.

My wife went to get a pedicure today. They did a great job, except for the sliced big toe. My wife texted me about it when it happened, but she did not sound too upset. She is a total sweetheart, and she did not want the lady doing her pedicure to feel bad.
When she came home I nearly got sick. The cut was deep and my wife said it bled a lot. I asked her if they charged her and she said they did. My wife is cool like that. She will pay the price she is asked to pay… even when they butcher her.
That, to me, is completely unacceptable.
I called the place and a guy answered. I explained who I was and he knew right away. I said I was coming to get my wife’s money back. He said no problem.
I went to the place feeling, «All Jazzed Up,» just like the sign said. The guy had my wife’s money waiting and gave it to me right away. I then told him that I thought it was scummy of him not to offer her a free pedicure and to take her money in the first place. I reminded him that my wife was a super kind person, and that it showed absolutely no class to take advantage of her and actually take her money. He said he was sorry.
I also made sure to note that there was not an, «Enter at your own risk,» sign.
I feel bad for the hairstylist and the lady in his chair. The lady that sliced my wife’s toe was nowhere to be found.

Since Nail Garage closed, I’ve hopped around a bit. $ 20 pedicure, included massage and foot cream. I loved the amount of time they spent on prepping my nails before painting. I don’t go for the paint portion, I go for the pre-​paint pamper.
I hate spending money on things I feel I can do (even though I may not be able to in actuality), but this place was worth every dollar. They were very friendly and hooked me into their conversations. Very clean, OPI, China Glaze, and Essie colors. Wonderful color selection.
Walk-​ins are welcome, but you may want to call before you get there. They said they are under new management, I think the women there own the salon now. It’s located upstairs in between the bank and Quizno’s in Market City Shopping Center. It’s a small stairway, you could miss it if you aren’t looking carefully.
