I never leave reviews, but my experience today was awful. I had French tips done on my fingers which were so uneven and crooked, I actually had to ask the nail tech to fix the worst two. The rest looked pretty bad as well but it was too late to have them done. My gut instinct told me to skip the pedicure after the trash experience with my manicure but I stayed anyways. Big mistake. My pedicure lasted 4 hours and then this happened. $102 down the drain today. Crushed because I’ve usually had positive experiences here but this was unacceptable. Never in my life have I complained about my nail service anywhere, but this warranted a review.

Long story, but the one you would want to read.Service I got:Partial (only where new hair grew) magic straight perm (V salon names it Japanese straight perm) and she burned my hair. That means, my new grown hair from scalp is burned.The only reason I went to this salon was because the salon is very close to where I live and I only had a limited time doing it because of my babies. I told her about this while doing my hair and she knew.First of all, she took longer than promised because she was taking another customer at the same time. Because she left the chemical on my hair too long, my hair was burned immediately. I had this perm for almost 30 years from my younger age from Korea. I know how this perm has been developed over years, and 1 time my hair was burned about 15 years ago for the same reason. Because she took longer hours, I had to go back to my babies and leave the salon with my hair wet (not completed, drying should be done normally). I already expressed her that my hair seemed burned and she told me to come back so she could check.I went back to her a few days after and she checked my hair. She told me she could give the Keratin treatment service. I told her I dont have time to come back for hours again because I have to find a babysitter. She opened one of her drawers and gave me the opened Joico Defy Damage treatment and aaked me to try it.I tried the treatment a couple of weeks and my hair was still so messy, I decided to cut my hair. Because I didnt trust her skill anymore, I went to another salon to cut my hair. I tried the treatment again as the length is so much shorter, hoping it could help a bit. No improvement.I was so stressful living with this burned hair every day, I reached out to V to refund my money back. I honestly wanted to get some compensation but what I eventually asked was just to refund the money I paid back.V's repeated response was:She said she told me many times to come back for Keratin treatment which was $450 per bottle but I didnt take the service. She said it has been over 2 months so she couldnt refund the money. One of my friend always does the perm & keratin so ask her.She kept ignoring my reply below:1. She didnt tell me many times to come back. She asked me once when I met her, to try the Keratin treatment and I told her I dont have time for it so she gave me the bottle instead. If she remembers? She didnt even know my number, how she could remind me to come back?2. She didnt tell me to come back within a certain time, or no refund.3. Not over 2 months. Less than 2 months.4. My friend does the perm & Keratin treatment together, which is OK when her hair wasnt burned. Also, that doesnt do anything with my hair. What does she want me to ask my friend? Will my friend refund the money?5. Asked her if she wanted me to do the Keratin treatment as she kept talking about it. If she will cover the babysitting fee. Told her I checked with 2 hair designers that Keratin wont 100% recover the burned hair, if she still wanted me to try it, what happens if I still dont satisfy.She couldnt or didnt reply me 9 times because:1. She was busy at the time2. She was at the dentist3. Just ignored, no reason4. Just ignored, no reason5. She was out of town6. She was busy that day7. Just ignored, no reason8. Just ignored with "?" this emoji9. Asked her what that emoji meant, no replySummary:I tried my best to be very patience with her for 12 days watching her ignoring or repeating the same thing when I ask for clarification. I am old enough to understand the human makes mistakes. What I am upset about her is that she was trying to put me in the reason for not being able to refund the money, which wasnt even true. I am not complaining about the style, color or designs that she makes isnt what I expected so give my money back. She burned my hair, and this will take years to grow out. At least, I shouldnt pay anything to get my hair burned.Things always can happen. I would go where can be responsible for their job. Dont risk yours.

I just found this place and just have to say, WOW! I think I found my new favorite pedicure/hair salon spot in Kaka’ako. They do so many things here including waxing, nails, any hair services, etc. the space is clean and professional. The ladies are great and so so talented!! It may seem a bit chaotic at first glance, but it’s because they are so busy.. and I can see why! Their regular pedicure is $34 - reasonable - until you realize you get a full service scrub/massage and super detail-oriented nail-care. This beats my foot massage spot by leagues and I can take care of my nails in the process.. or wait for my hair dye to set in. I have very long (waist level) hair and to get it cut and dyed (1 color with no bleaching) was $150. Very reasonable in my opinion for the quality. I’ll be back for sure! Oh, the only thing is you may want to go to the bathroom before you spend hours here because their bathroom is located outside.. and people on the street will look at you like you’re crazy when you have greasy-colored hair and a black cape on..

Amazing experience. The stylist took careful time to cut my hair, trimmed my mustache and goatee. Everything was done so carefully and patiently. I will definitely come back ext time I'm in Hawaii!!! Cannot recommend more. My wife also had an amazing experience. We both were walk-ins and they treated us great!Services: Haircut

Vs Hair Styling is the best place to have all your beauty needs in one place. Been going to Vivian for many years before store moved to the present Kakaako location. She's an expert in what she does. She listens to what I liked to have done and does an excellent work. She helped me prepare for my daughter's wedding. People had complimented me on my hair and pedicure. The people who work there are friendly and does a great job in making customers feel comfortable. They also are great stylist and listen to what their customer wants. The location is convenient with lots of parking. The store has a nice vibe in an area that has Down To Earth next door and other hip stores.

Aunty Vivian, the owner, is super nice and quick. She makes sure that you get what you want and you get what you pay for at a pretty decent price. I've been a repeat customer for over 10 years now and I've always been satisfied. At this point she knows what I want and every time I come in, which is at least once a month, she accommodates me and sits me within a reasonable time. I'd recommend calling her first. Also it's not just her, she has 5-6 other hairdressers that also cut hair. She also does spa things and nails, being a guy I don't really indulge in those things. Overall it's a great experience and I'm going to be staying with her for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else

First time walking in to the salon without making any appointment. Got it cut by Vivian. I told her how long I wanted it to be. Didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. I asked her to cut a few inches to my shoulder blades and had some layers. She ended up cutting more and more of my hair becoz they were not even. It is still not even and choppy at the bottom of my hair. I paid $4x for such a horrible haircut! A lot more than what they advertised $2x.

Affordable, convenient, and responsive staff. I've been going to this salon for over a year and Vanessa "Van" always did a fantastic job on my hair. She went out on her own, but I may still come here when in a pinch.

I don't normally leave reviews on Yelp, but I had to for V Hair Styling! A little background...I had my hair cut for years (since high school) from a family friend who knew what I wanted and had been through many different styles that I had gone through. She was sick for a week and I needed my hair cut. A friend of mine recommended that I go to V's as he had gone and was pleased with his cut. I reluctantly went since I don't always trust new barbers or stylists very easily, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went to V's. I didn't make an appointment and just walked in and was seen immediately, even though they were busy. The cut was done right and to my liking. I figured it would be a good backup place if my regular stylist wasn't available. However, she sadly passed and I was happy with the results from my haircut from V's. I've been going there monthly now and have been very happy with every stylist that has cut my hair. I see Vivian exclusively now and I never have to tell her how I want to cut my hair. Every stylist I've had is efficient, pleasant and does great work! For guys, if you need a good cut at a reasonable price, go to V!
