Hillary at Winam Studio did an incredible job with my curly hair. Super talented, and a very reasonable price. I highly recommend. I will be back for sure. Us O'ahu curly folks are lucky to have Hillary here!

I've been going to Hillary for years and she's honestly just a master at her craft. She knows how to work with wavy and curly hair and it's a godsend

I found Wynham studio on both Yelp and Google when I was looking for someone who was comfortable doing a dramatic cut. I've been considering a new hairdo for about two years and finally felt comfortable pulling the trigger.
Off the website I was able to get Hilary's number and text her about my situation and desired haircut. I showed her photos of similar haircuts and described what I was looking for. I also showed her pictures of my current hair and of me holding my hair sort of how I was hoping the final cut would look.
The text-based consult was great! Hilary was excited about the job, but also said I could go somewhere else if I wanted to get color done at the same time, since she only does haircuts. After telling the stylist she referred me to for color the same information I gave Hillary, she thought it best I go to Hillary for the cut and her for the color. I don't think everyone is comfortable doing this kind of dramatic cut, and I may have made her nervous when I said I was an artist educator.
I ended up doing both appointments the same day, one right after the other this was fairly easy, since both locations were within walking distance of each other. I'm happy I had two experts each doing what they loved doing best!
Winam Studio is above the Post Office on 11th Ave. in Kaimuki. I came in the afternoon (post lunch) on a weekday, and parking was fairly easy in the metered lot in the middle of the block, and I showed up right on time. The studio was clean and fun, with pops of color inspired by a Rubik's cube, and Hillary was ready for me. She'd been talking to someone in the waiting area, but stopped to attend to me immediately. There was one other person and her hairdresser in the studio. Hillary and I talked through the cut one more time, and she expressed gratitude about my specificity and the reference photos I brought. She asked her colleague for ideas before starting to firm up her plan of action. We had interesting conversation throughout the shampoo and cut, and Hillary even treated me to some theatrical snipping during the experience. This woman is an artist with her shears. She thought and walked me through her process the entire time, sculpting my hair with precision using only combs, shears, and razor blades, and even throwing in a bit of theatrical pins he that made me laugh. I kept a lock of my long hair for my son. It was an awesome collaboration!
Both the cut and color turned out better than I could ever have imagined! It's comfortable and super low-maintenance. I don't have to wash my hair as often, don't sweat as much, and never need a hair tie. My hair looks amazing after simply messing it around with my fingers and flipping to the side. Friends that have known me for years have asked me why I hadn't had this haircut sooner. They tell me it fits my personality perfectly! I love that I can look chic or punk rock, depending on what I wear and how I wear my hair! Now I look like the artist I am! Thank you, Hillary!

I love Winam Studio - Hillary and Anne (colorist) are absolute geniuses and gems of human beings. The studio is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the services are top notch and very affordable. For curly girls, Hillary is your go to for an amazing curly cut that grows out well and looks good from the time she cuts it to the time you need another cut. For coloring, they use ammonia free products so it doesn’t ruin your hair, yet covers grays (or whites haha) and lasts for a few months. This studio is incredible and so are the women who run it!

Absolutely loved my haircut! Hillary is the best, also very sweet. What makes her the best is that she really took her time to understand the look I was going for and nailed it. I have wavy/curly hair if that helps any reader thinking about trying this place out. Definitely was worth it for me!

Hillary is fantastic! If you have curly hair - don’t go to anyone else in Honolulu. She knew exactly what I wanted and how to make my cut perfect for me! Thank you!

My hair appointment with Hillary was one of the best I've ever had in my life. In our consultation, she not only listened to my concerns but gave amazing suggestions based on my hair type and my lifestyle. Throughout the haircut she talked me through what she was doing as well as offering up great tips on how to manage and upkeep my hair. The studio space was clean and tidy, with a welcoming calm atmosphere that added to my great haircut experience. It's been over a week since my haircut and I still get compliments daily from my coworkers and friends.

All I gotta say is, believe the hype. My hair has gotten wavier/curlier the older I get, so I was searching for a stylist who specializes in curly/wavy cuts. Hillary is the real deal and gave me the best cut I've probably ever had. No thinning out my hair, no razoring (hallelujah).
Awesome consultation, technique and execution - she has mad skills and experience! The real test of a good cut is if it looks good when you style it yourself (just gel and diffuser in the pic) and it still looks just as good as when I was fresh out of the studio.

Hillary is a true master of hair who really understands how to shape and cut for longevity of your style. It's so hard to find someone talented enough to cut a pixie. I'm so happy to have found her and will be back again and again to maintain my look! She was able to give me exactly what I wanted - feminine, fun, and low maintenance. Thank you!
