Shear Creation

*** KIM YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING!!!***
Idk where to start. I’m so graciously thankful for you. I went to Stylique at the Schofield PX and got my hair chopped off and it was so uneven. I had extremely long hair. Im so glad I found Kim. She did an amazing job fixing my totally botched hair. She gave me my confidence back. I feel spunky and sassy with my new hairdo. Most of all I don’t feel like I have to hide. I can go to work without wondering what people are thinking. I just found my hair stylists for the next 2 years

She came recommended by many people so I wanted to give her a chance. I set up the appt over a couple days where she called me by the incorrect name 3 times via text. Went to the salon and after 3 hours, I left with gold streaks and highlights were done an inch from my roots I paid over $ 150 to have it look like that. Only good thing was the Olaplex treatment she recommended but I ended up having to go another salon to have it fixed.

I was referred to Kim Peay by the owner of Aloha Beauty Supply and I am SO happy he did. I called her asking for a trim as soon as possible (hoping for same day because of day to day transportation issues) and she told me she could get me in. I was long overdue for a hair cut and asked for 3 – 4 inches off and she did such a beautiful job, gave me layers to take off the weight and styled it before I left. My hair looked like it had new life! Even my husband loved it. Thank you Kim!

Kim Peay is a ROCK STAR COLOR GENIUS!
Love Kim Peay at Shear Creation! She’s a true professional and is gifted at finding and creating the right color and cut — especially for someone like me who is really bad at trying to explain what I want.
I was especially impressed at how thorough she was in checking her work before I left — her attention to detail stands out in an industry that’s sometimes dominated by people doing less than perfect work.
Her extensive experience and training clearly are reflected in every aspect of how she styles and colors — what a gem she is!

I used to drive all the way to kalihi before i started coming here… what a waste of time and gas… found out about fred from my boy and instagram. i was so used to waiting over an hour to get a haircut sometimes two but its so much easier with appts only with the no long waits plus i live so close by. fred the barber killin the fresh cut game!

KIM PEAY is the Best! I’ve been going to her for seven years now. She is the only one who can get my blonde coloring right! She is truly talented with hair and is very meticulous in her work. My hair is so much prettier and is a fraction of the cost I was paying at other posh salons.
***EXTENSIONS** Kim is an absolute expert. I have had at least 7 – 8 sets of extensions done by Kim over the years. Her bonds are painless, precise, and SO natural looking. Even my best friends had no idea I had hair extensions. Best of all, she is BY FAR the most reasonably priced. You will not be disappointed!!!
To top it off, Kim is one the sweetest women you’ll ever meet. She genuinely cares for her clients and makes you feel so at ease. The salon is not fancy, but the «laid back» environment feels comfortable & cozy.

This is the home of my favorite barber and trusted friend, Chan. My BF has been cutting his hair with Chan for many years and we truly consider him our friend. He is so meticulous and precise and has never given a bad cut. People come far and wide for his service and for good reason. He’s very accommodating and such a friendly and wonderful person. When my son came along, his first cut was with Chan and has been with him since. We love Chan and have become great friends with him. Not being biased, I SINCERELY recommend him for a men’s or boy’s cut. He listens to what you want and executes it to the T!
Ruth is the shop’s owner and she is just a tornado of happiness in heels! She’s bubbly and friendly and very cheery. I’ve also cut gotten my hair done with Mai. She’s no longer wit the salon, but always did a fabulous dry-​cut layering.
Love this place! It’s kinda like the Cheers Bar, «where everybody knows your name» and as long as Chan is here, we’ll be coming here for years and years to come!

This review is for Kim at the salon.
Kim is a hair master! I saw her page on Facebook and she was recommended by several friends to me.
I finally had to opportunity to go see her. I got a full highlight, trim and style. Kim was very meticulous and put in a lot of foils. The color came out perfect and she was able to eliminate a LOT of brassiness, which is amazing! My blonde looks fantastic.
She also did a great job re-​freshing my hair cut. It looks so healthy now! I will definitely be back to her and would recommend her to anyone.

This 5-​star review is for Bong, not the rest of the salon. Bong has been my mother’s go-​to guy for color & cut for years now. Today he did my new year, post-​divorce cut, & he did an AMAZING job. The other lady barber stylists seemed jealous of Bong; I heard them gossiping about his huge customer base & supposedly outrageous prices. The guy has skills & experience, & they’re just buttsore that they simply aren’t as good as him. While getting my hair done, I heard them swearing up a storm in the back complaining about everything under the sun. Bong kept his focus and concentration during my cut despite their filthy mouths. Bong & Kim SEEM to be the only PROFESSIONAL stylists here when it comes to customer service (based on what I could hear & see while I was there today [1/​11/​13]). As far as skills, I have no idea how well the other stylists cut/​style, but I do know that when actresses from the Philippines are in town, Bong is their go-​to guy for styling & cut.
My bill came out to about $ 45, which is 3 times more than what I pay at N-​Styles by Tony, but it was worth it. I get my hair cut once or twice a year because I am extremely nitpicky about who touches my head, so trust me on this one – see Bong if you want to look beautiful, fresh, young, & clean.

As a guy with short hair, I like a neat hair cut. I get my hair cut here every month or so by a guy named Chan. I have been having Chan cut my hair for about two and a half years now. He always does a great job. He is meticulous with my hair cut and he’s easy to talk with too. When I call to make my appointment, I call his cell phone directly. I was instructed to do this after the first time I called the business itself. Chan keeps a calendar with him and gives me his available times whenever I call him. He has rarely kept me waiting before appointments and on those occasions it was only a few minutes. I, on the other hand, missed an appointment once and was really late on another occasion and he was very forgiving. He often takes appointments on his Bluetooth headset while he is cutting my hair. He seems to be really busy and well organized. He also always has a clean and well dressed appearance. I pay him directly with cash. The atmosphere of the business is definitely unique. There is 70’s and 80’s salon artwork in different places and the people who work there seem to make themselves at home. The people are relaxed and they always make me feel welcome even though I’m a Haole from the mainland. I think the place smells like donuts. I don’t know why, I never see any donuts. They usually have TV or music playing. One time they were watching a live performance from a 70’s soul band. Anyway, I like this place and the people working there and I have had nothing but good experiences. I would highly recommend Chan for a man’s haircut. I don’t know if he cuts women’s hair. I did see he was cutting a kids hair once.

I’ve always admired my co-worker’s highlights and asked her where she got hers done at, and she said Shear Creation in Waipahu. She explained that it’s a small salon near Tanioka’s and the stylists there are so relaxed, they really make you feel like you belong there.
I set up an appointment for that Friday and found a picture so the stylist could see what I wanted. I pulled into the parking lot and found a stall quite easily. I was welcomed with a hug from the stylist and she proceeded to ask me questions about what I wanted to do with my hair that day. I showed her the picture and she said it’d be easy to do and started on my hair immediately.
I was getting highlights done. Lots of ‘em. She told me if there’s anything I didn’t like about my hair, let her know so she can fix it herself. She said she’d rather fix an «issue» she did, than have someone else fix it because she doesnt like fixing other stylists’ mistakes.
When she was done, she instructed me to sit under the hair dryer where I waited… and waited… and waited… so long to the point where I believe she forgot about me. She was talking up a storm with the other customers and employees and I even asked her if I should be sitting under the dryer for 45 minutes. She told me not to worry about it and continued to talk with the other employees. She didnt even check my hair! So ten minutes later, she brought me to the sink and washed out the bleach, then told me she «didn’t like the color» so she’d have to do it again!!!
I was soooo irritated at this point that I just wanted to leave, but I didnt want to leave with hair that looked «weird»!! My highlights looked almost GRAY. I had already been there for two hours and really just wanted to go home. So she re-​highlighted my hair and I sat under the dryer again for about 30 minutes. This time she was satisfied with my hair.
I sat back in the chair and OOOOOOOH MY GOD. Why was there a huge, 2 inch thick blonde streak of a highlight running across the right side of my head?! And why couldnt I see any of the other highlights?! I know I seen all the foil in my hair! Where did they go?! And what the hell was that blonde streak doing there?!
I was so upset and eager to leave that I just wrote her a check for the $ 80 I was charged and stormed out. I immediately called my bank and placed a «stop payment» on that check. My bank asked me for a reason to stop the payment, I replied, «Unsatisfied with service.»
Two stars for the salon. One star for the stylist. I’ve refrained from sharing her name because there’s still hope for that little salon. But seriously, I’ve experienced MUCH better service than that.
