Hairscapes

Got my hair colored and cut by Lloyd and I’ve never been so satisfied – I love it! And I’m constantly getting complimented on my hair on the streets of Manhattan, so I know it’s not just me: D
Unfortunately, I don’t live in Hawaii so I can’t come back here as often as I’d like. If only I had enough money to fly him out here every 6 – 8 weeks~

Love it. I got my haircut in layers and my stylist did a fantastic job. Will be my go to salon from now on. They will validate your parking at the restaurant row garage.

Ladies, if you are looking for someone who not only knows how to «cut» hair but also is an expert at «color» — go see Roni. She is absolutely amazing and I’m one of the pickiest people when it comes to highlights. She is the ONLY person I will let cut and highlight my hair. You will NOT be disappointed.

Warning: This is NOT a bias review. Everything said is my honest opinion.
After years of trying to find a place where I can be a committed hair client to a hair stylist I like… THE TIME HAS COME! My first visit was yesterday, and my experience was soooo goood. Hairscapes is located in Restaurant Row, so you park in the same lot and everything. They validate for you so free parking! I’m a big sucker on parking… if a business has shoddy parking, I avoid it like the plague. Ain’t nobody got time to struggle to find parking!
I found out about this place because my friend’s brother, Kalei, is a hair stylist here. Since I was on a hunt for a good stylist, I asked my friend for his brother’s contact info so I can set up an appointment with him. I went to Macy’s before this salon, and although the hair stylist there was super nice and I did enjoy myself, I couldn’t get over the really strong smell of hair dye/​ammonia that would burn my nose and eyes, and the extremely hectic atmosphere of the Macy’s Salon (ever been there on a Saturday? Holy moly!) So I decided to try out Kalei.
Anyways, I got here a little early just in case I couldn’t find the place (thank goodness I did because I got lost… hehehe) So, since I was early, I was kinda just strolling around to see if I could find Hairscapes… I walked around the whole Restaurant Row… as 8:20AM came around, I started to low key panic…*crap crap crap. what if I’m in the wrong place? Where the heck is Hairscpaes? I am SO lost! Should I call?* I decided to not call because I was determined to find the business, but by 8:27…I was still trying to find it, so I called Kalei.Hahaha. The place ended up being where I never would have walked by… in fact, when I was trying to find it, I was debating whether to go that way, but thought, «naaah…it’s not in there.» lol. He directs me on where to go (look for the breezeway!) and I find it just at 8:30AM! phew. I walk in and am immediately greeted by another hair stylist. I let her know my appointment time with who, and Kalei pops out from behind the desk. First things first, the vibe here is great. Very calm, welcoming environment. I felt like I was a long-​time client. I tell him what kind of color I’m shooting for and also how much length to cut off of my hair. I felt comfortable immediately, and Kalei was super cool, and so easy to talk to. Seriously, I’ve had people try to give me small talk, and I end up feeling so awkward because it’s literally question after question… yes or no answers only. –_​_​_​– anywho, I should just say that Kalei and I have known each other since we were 5 already instead of a day… that’s how easy it is to talk to him. lol.
I like how he cut my hair too. He was a perfectionist as he was cutting it, taking his time and making sure it looked good. When he was dying my hair, the dye didn’t smell strong at all. It actually had a very pleasant smell to it… so my eyes and nose didn’t burn, and I didn’t have to close my eyes and wonder when the time was up. haha. It was also awesome because instead of putting me under the hair dryer (which I hate), he had some kind of heating thing… same thing as the dryer… just much better for panicky people like myself. So that was a mega plus! All in all, very good experience. The color came out better than I had thought. I wished there was more purple to it, but my hair is dark as night, and plus I had color from Macy’s the month before, so I already expected that the Hairscapes color might not work well with the Macy’s color. I was just happy that I didn’t have light hair anymore, and my hair color was EVEN… during my Hairscapes escapade, I realized that darker hair suits me better than light hair. So I was happy with the color! When I went home, I could see the purple tinge more (lighting is key, people), and as I checked myself out in the mirror, I was super happy with the results.
If you need a place to cut/​color your hair, look no further! Give this place a chance, and check it out. I’m very picky with who I go to to do my hair, so I am beyond ecstatic that I found a place and person that I truly like. Everyone here is so nice, and the employees definitely make you feel very welcome here. Like a family! Plus I can’t even complain about the price… SO affordable! Call hairscapes right meow, and make an appointment with Kalei.

Perfect service! Perfect hair stylist! The «feel» of this place is awesome, industrial look but very relaxing. Everyone was so nice!!! Mitzie is amazing. I’ve always wanted to have short hair. Just try it out once at least. Plus color it. 25 years with long «virgin» hair… I loved the results! Had my doubts and fears but Mitzie helped me pick a style I would feel great with :) Plus I’m low maintenance as far as hair goes, surf is about to start, she gave me good tips on how to take care of my hair. In love with my new look!

READ THIS IF YOU ARE A DUDE LOOKING FOR A BARBER!
If you are looking for a great barber who takes their time, offers advice, and skilled at their craft, you need not look any further than Roni. Roni is one of their stylists and she has exceptional skills and encompasses everything you’d look for in a Barber. I have been looking for a «REAL» barber for a very long time, and I finally found Roni at Hairscapes. Do you have an idea of what you want? Pull up something on Pinterest and she can work with you on making it happen. She’s the best barber in Honolulu. Hands down. Go see Roni for a cut!

I love Hairscapes. The ambiance of the place is nice and the people actually care. The staff literally makes sure that I am as comfortable as I can be. I will not go anywhere else to get my hair done.
My hairstylist is Adrienne and she is absolutely AMAZING. She listens to my ideas and helps me come up with the best look for me. I LOVE my hair now so much. I could not possibly be happier!

Good efficient staff. Friendly and competent. Quality and consistent results of hair care. Good parking. Get some software so you can get rid of your paper calendar/​appointment book. Go digital.

This place is super nice and very convenient. I went in my lunch break and was able to get my haircut right away. Kalei is such a nice guy and great stylist! I will defiantly come back again soon!

This is what I consider my place of free vent sessions! Haha. My hair stylist is Roni! I love her ideas about hair color, the length of the hair cut, the way she can shape your face with your hair, etc. you come into this atmosphere and everyone here is nice and kind! It’s a place to just relax and relax and relax! I say, if you are having a hard time finding a good hair stylist, go here!!! They also give really good deals for all college students, just make sure you show your ID!

For the dudes: I love the atmosphere. But I came in for a trim because my hair grew out and Roni totally made it come out good. It’s rare I go I any other stylists but she was on point. My fade came out well and my color came out just as well. Everyone is super friendly and if you don’t like to talk there’s magazines and stuff to look at. It always helps if you tell then how you want your hair unless you’re a mute than you wouldn’t appreciate the end result. I have curly hair and she factored that in pretty well with how she cut my hair. So if I was lazy or my hair was wet from a beach day, it would still look great. Thank you So much.

Have been looking for a good haircut and color since arriving in Honolulu 10 months ago. Little did I know the place I needed was right next door.
I was a walk in and luckily for me Kalei was available for trim/​color/​highlights. He was friendly and knowledgeable listening to my wants and concerns. I tried something a little different with my base color nothing drastic but a definite change of pace. Kalei suggested the highlight colors. The time pasted in pleasant chatter and when I was done perfect haircut and perfect color.
Very happy with the whole experience and definitely found my new salon.

I just chopped 18″ off and MITSI was amazing!!! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I came here after seeing the good reviews about this salon and reading about its long history. It was a great experience from first contact to the visit. It was simple to set up an appointment and I was able to get an ideal day and time with ease. Considering how desperate I was to fix my boring locks, I was relieved to be able to get an appointment so easily.
They set me up with Adrienne. She was a great stylist in every way. At no point in the appointment was I bored, so my time there flew by. Not only was she experienced and knowledgeable about every aspect of hair care and styling, but she was personable and really listened to what I wanted.
I was particularly looking for a sassy, rock-​y girl look to change up the boring librarian (no offense, I love libraries!) haircut I had before. She gave me what I was looking for and gave me recommendations for ways to style it. She knew what would work for my face and lifestyle and that influenced the way she cut my hair. Even though I was only there to get a cut, she even convinced me to consider re-​dying my locks. I knew my roots were starting to show, but I was initially hesitant to re-​dye. However, her expertise really showed me that it would be worthwhile to make some adjustments so it would be more natural looking.
She was not pushy in recommending products, but let me know the important health benefits of the organic products the salon offered so that I could make an informed decision.
My only issue with the salon is that the prices on the website are not very specific, so I didn’t know how much I would be paying-​hence the four stars.
Perhaps, it was my fault not to ask the cost upfront, but it slipped my mind at the moment. So, I didn’t find out the cost until the very end of the appointment. It was around $ 50, which was fine, but I thought I would receive the first time customer discount which I didn’t. I’ll still return to the salon for my re-​coloring because it was a good experience, but lesson learned to ask for the price upfront.
Parking was a breeze. Just drive down punchbowl then turn left at Pohukaina and enter the garage. They validate parking for four hours, which is plenty of time to pamper your locks and maybe even scarf down cupcakes from Hokulani Bakery-​which I was eager to do!

I went to get my haircut by Sherry. She is so sweet and funny! Hairscapes is located in Restaurant Row across from the jury parking for the district court. They offer four hour validation with their services! They have late hours and weekend hours making it easy to get an appointment around your schedule. Your first appointment you will also receive 10% off!
Sherry did a great job on my hair. I have a lot of hair but it is thin and can be harder to cut… top it off its wavy. She understood how I wanted to style it and made it easy for me to straighten or wear wavy/​curly. This is key, I like to be done with my hair in less than 15 minutes. After my cut and blow dry she validated my parking and I was off. They do not pressure you to purchase product, which I think is another benefit to this place.
Most of the lady’s I work with go here and I will be headed back.

I’m still going to Roni since my last review. I recently moved to Ewa Beach and had been procrastinating on having my hair trimmed and the roots touched up. I was going to find a place closer to home but I really trust Roni with my hair so I figured I’d make a weekend appt and make a morning out of it. Roni works the weekends starting at 8am! Which is so awesome considering I wanted most of my weekend free to play. I showed up a few minutes early and she was ready to go. I think Roni is one of those people who anyone could talk to. She’s very easy going and I enjoy the couple of hours it takes to get my hair done. She also does a killer scalp massage and is sooooo good at color.

Adrienne saved my hair. For the first time in my life I got a perm and they other salon fried my hair. Adrienne gave me a deep conditioning and beautiful cut. She brought my hair back to life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

So since reading everyones reviews about this place, and me being in dire need of a hair cut and color i decided to give this place a try especially since they had a 50% off on the malama app. I called to inquire about services and see if they had any openings late. The same day I called, i got an appt. set for that night. The lady that answered the phone was super polite and very helpful. If you’re heading towards ruth chris, head the other way. If you’re heading towards oceans, head back the other way. I was introduced to my stylist and was really excited to see what she could do. I dyed it and cut off about ²⁄₃ inches and i specifically wanted it layered but still keep length to it. When she was cutting i asked to connect my bangs to my hair cut to give a more layered look. When she styled it, it looked great, but of course from how someone styles it to how you style it is totally different!
Overall, i found that the dye wasnt not evenly because i could see my highlights i had before, so basically i had a brown spot on the left side of my head and i can see other parts to around my head. When i looked in the mirror to see the back, it’s just a straight cross hair cut and she didn’t even layer the back, just the front. I’m super disappointed with my hair cut and even more about dying my hair. I don’t want to mention any names, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be coming back here again. Now this explains why i was done so quick! :(

I just wanted to let everyone know that Caroline now works at Salon Kai at Manoa Marketplace.
Please refer to my review of Salon Kai for more info.

I LOVE YOU J Salon, but we’re in a recession and I can’t afford you anymore! T_​T
And so, I ended up going to Hairscapes. I really love the fact that they offer a 50% discount for first-​time clients. And now I hear they offer a student discount? How awesome is that?!
I scheduled an appointment with Caroline after hearing her name mentioned on Unilocal.She’s really cool and trendy and she really knew how to make the most out of my gangly, thick hair.
The normal price for a men’s cut is $ 32, and I paid $ 16 ($ 24 with tip). My hair looks great and I’ve received a lot of compliments about it! Will go back for a follow-​up :)
