Taki’s Hair Styling II

Spent most of my morning driving around trying to find someone who could cut my hair. No appointments available anywhere! Just as I was about to give up I saw the sign for Taki’s. So glad I did! Noe worked wonders on my hair, conditioning, shaping, styling all with ease and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The prices are completely reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

Its been 3 years since my last highlight and haircut. Nikki knew just what I needed. Beautiful color and healthy looking hair. First salon that I have ever walked out of loving how my hair looks. If you want to look gorgeous. Nikki is the best.

I highly recommend Genel at Taki’s in Pearlridge. My hair is naturally dark brown and I like soft golden highlights, not red or brassy like I would sometimes get with other stylists who we less experienced. Genel is a real professional and very skilled at what she does. She gets the color and highlights just the way the like it every time. I’ve even had complete strangers compliment me on my hair. I actually found Genel through someone I didn’t even know… I saw a girl whose hair color I liked and asked her who did her hair, and she told me about Genel. I’m glad I asked because I finally found someone who knows what she’s doing.

This was my first time here and I was referred by a good friend of mine so I decided to try it out. I called Nicky and she was so awesome!
The vibe of the salon was really nice and everyone was real kind. They offered water and the wait really wasn’t long. I did make an appointment though and I think that’s best bc they did seem to be busy. You have to contact Nicky personally to make an appointment but she’s super nice and takes into consideration what you want to do with your hair, asking for pictures and such. Even when I got into the salon she remembered my name and what I wanted without having to check which was impressive!
My hair was about down to my butt and I cut it up to my collarbone in an a-​line long bob type of cut and I also got a root touch up and low tone highlights (which is what she suggested rather than coloring my whole head then highlighting).
She matched my hair color perfectly and I specifically also asked for highlights that were not yellow but more on the brownish low light kind and she did exactly that. She was really nice and easy to talk to. You definitely do not get bored in her chair. because I was doing a drastic cut she made sure to ask me multiple times if this is what I wanted and just to be sure I was sure she took it in baby steps. Cutting my hair medium then seeing how much more I wanted off. It was a process but one that I think was more than appropriate since it is a big change. She not only blowdried it to show me what it looked like straight she also styled and curled it for me.
I love it soooo much and I’m very happy I went to Nicky, I definitely recommend her! I paid $ 140, $ 100 for coloring, $ 40 for the cut, which I think is very reason all for the quality and skill that went into the whole process.

I go to Honi, she is really great at cutting my hair. She’s an independent stylist so she has her own prices from the salon.
Her prices for women’s hair cuts are $ 45 & I think a full head color starts at $ 100. This isn’t really all that bad, I know other salons that charge way for for cuts & color.
I have to say though with Honi, she understands hair. I really like that I don’t have to cut my hair that often too, like she knows how well my hair is going to grow out with this hair cut. & let me tell you with my hair… it needs a lot of help.

This review is based on the one stylist I had to unfortunately endure.
A 3 minute consult of rude remarks from the stylist and then realizing that this guy, who is clearly lacking proper customer service skills, is probably lacking styling skills as well. The «can’t do» attitude doesn’t work in this field. That’s ok tho. Thank Jesus that the true colors were revealed BEFORE he chopped anything off! Now, I’m off to Marsha Nadalin.

Jill moved to Heads Up Salon at Pearl City Shopping Center. Her number is 808−384−3266.

I have never been disappointed by a haircut at this place! Although I’m not a regular, I think that I’ll come here more often for my hair cutting needs.
I’ve been here twice before, and I always remember walking out feeling good about my haircut. So after not coming for a while, I decided to return and give it another shot.
The person who cut my hair was Noe, and he’s great! Super experienced and knowledgeable. He talked to me throughout the whole haircut and it was great. I’d definitely recommend going here to get a haircut, they do a wonderful job. The people here cut your hair the way you want it, and not how they think it should look.

Saw Jill today for the first time. She did a great job and is very good at what she does. I was very satisfied with my hair cut. Will come back again!

First time there. I’ve only had my hair done once professionally. So I trusted Honi with my Hair. I’ve always had it long and decided to try a layered look.
Taki’s was very clean and inviting. The atmosphere seemed warm… even the back where they shampoo your hair. I must say that I felt very as ease and relaxed.
Honi did hair color, cut, and highlights. I told her what I wanted and asked her advice as well. She was very pleasant and professional. She’s been my neighbor for years but in the short time we conversation about hair, kids, and life. It takes a pretty special person to style your hair and make you feel good at the same time. I wish I took a picture of the finish product. I love my Hairstyle and will go back again.
Next time you need a Hairstylist. .call Honi at Taki’s!
Mahalo Nui Loa, Honi… for making me look and feel good!

Taki’s has been here forever. Being an native Aiea-​ian, I know but I never stepped foot in this place until Denise moved here. I was always afraid of the location, being in the Pearlridge area, but I’ve come to see that it ain’t so bad. Most times I have found parking right in front of the store which is good for me because I’m such a last minute person.
I started coming to Taki’s because Denise moved to this location. This works out well for me because Down to Earth is right next door.
Taki’s facilities are very neat and clean. All of the employees/​independent stylist are super friendly and down to earth; they make you feel at home when you walk in. And if you have to wait, don’t forget to help yourself to some coffee.
I don’t know what else to say about this place except for it feels warm and inviting which are feelings that work for me!

I’m new to the island
1. Found a great hair salon
2. Found a great stylist Jill
3. She was nice and friendly
4. She cut my hair like I wanted
5. I paid $ 40
6. I will be a regular

Came here on a whim when some friends recommended it. Didn’t have any stylist in particular, but had Genel do it for the first time and was impressed.
I’ve been getting my hair cut by Genel for the past 3 years or so now and she’s never done a bad job. She always listens to what I want (even though now it’s always the same) and we even bounce some ideas back and forth on what to do with my hair next. If it seems like it’s been a while, she’ll even contact you to see if you’re ready to schedule your next hair cut.
For a guys haircut, it costs about $ 27 + tip which includes shampooing, which is about average for a lot of salons.
I’ve seen the work of the other stylists there and am impressed by all their work and would recommend anyone looking for a good haircut see one of the many faces at Taki’s.

Megan is the bomb!

My appt. today was with Megan. I’m a new customer and she was very friendly, asked me what I’m studying, where I’m from, etc. She made a lot of jokes and small talk to make me more comfortable.
I haven’t cut my hair since December 2011 so I just told her to chop it all off and do to my bangs whatever she thought would look good. I asked her about straight bangs, which I know would be very hit or miss with my face shape. She said it would match my face very well but that my forehead was too small and that it would make it look like my bangs were eating my face. She also told me it’d make me look even younger (the last time I had straight bangs, I was six years old… I’m 20 now).
Most of the hair dressers I’ve seen have taken my hair and steered it in whatever direction they wished… Megan, though, really listened to what I wanted. She did the straight bangs but left the length a little long so if I decided to part them to the side, it would blend nicely.
The location is good, lots of parking. Plus, if you want to show off your new haircut after, the mall is right there, and so is Down to Earth if you get hungry. Everyone there was friendly and it’s clear that the staff gets along. They were all talking and making jokes with each other and it was a very comfortable environment, not like some of the other places I’ve been to where the staff didn’t really interact.
I love my hair! I’ll definitely go back to Taki’s, and definitely request Megan again.

Love my haircut, Noe is wonderful! He showed me what a new hairstyle will look like and taught me how to fix it in different styles! Love Noe! Will definitely be back soon!

I moved back from Jersey after living there for 10 years. I had a favorite hair stylist up there and i was on a mission to find someone like her here in Hawaii. It took me about 2 years before I was referred to Taki’s. I was specificallly referred to NICOLE!
Needless to say (5-​stars), I found my FAV hair stylist here in Hawaii. She is very friendly, funny, and knows how to make me feel so beautiful. Wish I had her style my hair EVERYDAY!
SHE’S AWESOME!

I have my hair cut and hot oil treatment and the service is really good for $ 50 (not including tips). Look for Nicky, she is really great.

I came here based on the reviews I read on Unilocal.I do not regret it one bit. I haven’t had a hair cut for a few years and… well…it was getting TOO long. I looked read other salon reviews on Unilocal and their mixed reviews had me worried. It is MY HAIR after all… it’s not like I can hide it.
I called first to see if they take walk-​ins and I found out that they do. The girl on the phone was very nice and thanked me for calling since I was a new customer. She encouraged me to book an appointment so that it would be guaranteed that I would have someone to cut my hair. I had my appointment booked for an hour later (I had to run a few errands beforehand). I got there 15 minutes early and Nicky was able to take me right then and there.
Nicky was awesome. She was very friendly and did a great job. Her pricing was very reasonable and I felt that I got more than my money’s worth! I will definitely be going back and recommending her to my friends!

I have been coming to Taki’s for over 2 years and I have to say I am not disappointed. Genel is the best when it comes to caring for my hair. She ensures that my coloring and highlights are alternated to save me money. Easy to talk to and friendly, good peoples.
As far as pricing goes, well, do you want a master stylist with over 10 years experience and still stays current with the latest in trends or do you want a new graduate cutting your hair? Enough said.
