Beauty Salon Classy

is this place require customer’s credit card number to make an appointment?

Warning: a review from the misses…
I’m not sure if this is an Asian/​Japanese thing, but my mom used to cut my hair when I was a small kine kid. This would result in having uneven hair or hair being shorter than I wanted (and perhaps, shorter than my mom had intended). Then, when I went to have my hair cut at a salon for the first time, it came out weird and slightly traumatized me. Finally, during high school I found someone I trusted… but alas, college brought me to Oahu and I had to find another place to go.
About 4 years ago, a friend introduced me to Beauty Salon Classy. I was excited because the stylists were Japanese, which meant that they were familiar with Japanese hair and I could have my «fobbish» hairstyle.
Unlike most people, when I get my haircut, I just want to have a haircut; I don’t need my hair washed, I don’t need a massage, and I am not much of a talker. I am not too picky about my hair; I just ask for layers and something that looks cute. And at BSC, that’s what I get.
The service itself is really good. Upon entering, you are greeted and they put your purse in a closet so you don’t have to hold it while getting your do. Sometimes, when I come early, if the stylist is available, they would start on you right away. And the prices are cheaper than most salons (but not as cheap as Supercuts).
Overall, I love this place because it’s affordable, a convenient location, friendly, and good haircuts!

Straight Perm the best!

I love eyelash perms. Its the easiest way to give your look a pick me up as you always look awake no matter what time it is. Having been perming my lashes for a few years now, id have to say this is one of the best places for eyelash perms in Honolulu and comparable to the great lash perms you can get in Japan. None of my lashes came out crimped or amiss, no pulling of the lashes when it comes to getting the roller off and the curl is very natural looking and D shaped. The only hard part is getting an appt. as it seems there is only one person that does lash perms (i believe shes the owner) so its best to book in advance.

I really like it here! Better than the other two places I used to get my hair cut at. So far I’ve got my haircut I think about 3~4 times, dyed my hair, and got my makeup done. Every time I get my haircut here it looks even better than the last! I am really satisfied on how my hair looks after I get it cut here~ As for dyeing my hair, I am also satisfied with the result as well! At the last salon I used to go to I showed them a picture of how I wanted my hair color to look like and they dyed it 3 times, but it was no where near the color in the picture. But at BSC, I showed them the picture and it came out exactly like the picture I showed them: D Lastly for makeup, it was really good, but I think it could have been better. It didn’t look quite like how I showed them but it was good.
Service is pretty good, all the staff are very polite! Only thing is that I think they don’t really talk to people who only speak English verses Japanese speakers. When I went one time, they were talking away to a Japanese customer, but as for me, my stylist and I hardly had a conversation. Also if you get a shampoo, idk they have an interesting way of massaging, way different from other places I’ve been to, but I like it! Prices I’d say are very reasonable!

The salon was not as nice as I expected it to be. Looks worn out and their style is not up to date. It’s nice that you can get your hair & nail done at the same time and get discount, but I was not impressed with neither the hair stylist or the nail tech I had.
Maybe they have better stylists… I’m not sure. Very affordable, but I don’t think I will go back.

I had been looking for a place to get a nice Asian haircut, so I asked my friend about it and he directed me to this place. I didn’t know how I wanted my hair so I just told my stylist (Kiyono), that I wanted it layered and she got to work. After about a 20 min haircut and an unexpected shampoo and massage (which I found out are standard at Asian salons, woohoo!), Kiyono styled my hair and gave me some pointers about how to keep it looking exceptionally FOB. Kiyono was super polite and friendly and if I had summoned the courage to attempt to channel my old AP Japanese skills or had been less in awe of the whole experience, I’m sure we would have had quite the engaging conversation.
Beauty Salon Classy offers great service, great stylists, and great prices ($ 32 for men haircuts and I think $ 38 for women). I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in getting their hair done in a popular Asian style for a very reasonable price.

Alright, I’m a guy who has to get his hair done at a salon. I used to be one of the many guys with a $ 10 spiky hair and I just wanted to get out of that style. So my cousin introduced me to this place. At first I was worried about how to get my hair done. They gave me a magazine, I pointed to a picture of a certain hair style and like magic, it doesn’t look like the one in the picture.
Disappointing? Absolutely not.
Your hair won’t look like the picture unless you know how to style it. It took me a few visits to figure out what I really wanted. But eventually I started seeing one stylist name Kanako, who’s very friendly and offered some tips on styling my hair. She does a decent job but only if I tell her what to do. If I don’t, it may be kind of off. But as a guy, we can make our mistakes look amazing.
For a men’s haircut, it’s $ 32 not including tip. You also get shampooed and a little massage.
The best place to park your car is at the back side of the Ilikai hotel. There’s a computer parking booth which prints out the receipt. Don’t forget to place it on your dashboard. $ 1 = 1 hour.

Services I’ve gotten here:
+Cut
+Japanese Straight Perm
+Regular Perm
+Pedicure
+Oil treatment
Overall, great prices for Japanese style products/​haircuts/​styles. All staff are Japanese speaking and are very nice and friendly. Some are more fluent in English than others. But there is always someone in the shop to translate for you.
The best service they have here is the Japanese straight perm. For only $ 200, it is the absolute lowest price I’ve seen in any Japanese salon in Hawaii. But don’t think that they are cutting corners with their lower price. They use high quality products and the attention they give you to make sure your hair comes out right is awesome! Yukari is the owner and she is so nice. She does a great job with hair and nails. She reminds me of my mother, but a MUCH nicer version though. =D
They also have a referral discount for bringing in new customers! Very NICE!!! Park in the back of the Ilikai building, it’s $ 1 an hour. Valet parking is about $ 3 plus tips.

Another stellar experience at Beauty Salon Classy courtesy of the owner, Yukari and the staff!!!
Everyone is very friendly and greets you right as you walk in the door. There is a huge table with tons of magazines on it just in case you have to sit and wait a while. I’ve never really had to wait though. The salon is clean and well-​lit.
Yukari did an awesome job on the eyelash perm. Since she knows how much of a curl I like, she doesn’t have to ask me. It took about an hour and I was so comfortable, with the soothing music playing in the background, that I think I dozed off. Yukari is extremely professional and very friendly.
I thought I would kill two birds with one stone and get a haircut while I was there. This is only the 2^nd time I’ve gotten a hair cut here and it’s been a great experience both times. No more split ends! I am extremely satisfied and I will continue to come here whenever I’m in Hawaii.

I returned to Beauty Salon Classy since I had a good experience last time, I booked Kiyono again. This time, I wanted to cut my hair a bit shorter than last since she did such a great job. But she cut it a bit too short and that wasn’t the worse part. I had told her that I was going to a wedding, so if she could style it for me, she did, but it turned out to look like a mushroom on my head. I guess she doesn’t really know how to style short hair. I rushed home and shampoo my hair to get ride of the curls. The style is better flat, but the layering was not as great as last time. Although, she did offer me 15% discount for referring my friend there. I have to debate whether to go back or not.

I have kinda mixed hair cause im half Japanese and half Caucasian. The ladies at Classy know how to style it because they know how to work on asian hair.
I would recommend Kiyono. Shes very quick and she always does a great job.
I give it 4stars because every now and then I get a girl who kinda seems like she doesn’t know what she’s doing. But i mean, they’re interns from Japan coming to study hair for a couple months in Hawaii. Besides that, I would recommend it.

I went here for a manicure and got just that with excellent service form a professional and pleasant lady. I wish I could get that kind of pampering closer to home.

Very bad experience! Would not recommend this place for anyone. Would not wish anyone or even my enemy to be treated that bad. Bad haircuts, bad lash perm, and very bad attitude!
I dont like to leave negative reviews, but I just would not like to see anyone been treated as bad as they treated me.
There are so many more good salons out there that gives much better haircuts and customer services. Unilocal around and you will find them! :-) I did!

So some of you might be thinking how to look like one of those Korean soap stars with their cool done up hair. The problem is, you don’t think you can go to Fantastic Sam’s and ask for one of those styles with a $ 15.00 cut. Well, if you’re ever around the Ala Moana side of Waikiki, walk into Beauty Salon Classy and you’ll walk out looking like a (cue the Mary Katherine-​Gallagher raised arms) supah star!
Kiyono-​san transformed my shaggy carefree bodyboarder head into something that resembles «cool.» It was also a very entertaining 45 minutes as she is also an avid bodyboarder and surfer, so we had something in common to break that awkward «I-don’t-know-this-person-but-I-should-really-talk-or-else-it’ll-feel-weird» haircuts.” She makes your visit warm and comfortable, something I appreciate since I feel «out of my element» in a salon.
Ladies, they do nails and extensions as well. A one-​stop-​salon hehe. Lastly, they give you a frequent customer card that gets stamped for every $ 10 you spend! Not a bad incentive if you have to get a haircut anyways. Unfortunately, shaggy long locks don’t cut it in the office. Kiyono-​san makes me office compliant! And after you get your first set of compliments, you’ll start coming back too!

Best Japanese straight perm, best wax, best eyelash perm, best salon hands down!!!

I forgot the lady who did my hair but she did not know english very well and needed translating. I kind of felt like the staff is not really friendly if you do not speak Japanese.
She did not wash my dirty hair and proceeded to cut and style it. She was a tall lady with bangs and mid length hair who didnt smile much. I paid about 40 bucks for a haircut. I left the salon with oily hair that was curled and styled. I should have stayed at Raiz hair salon. Raiz Salon always automatically shampoo, condition, and massage my scalp. The massage is soo nice too.
I wish i didn’t go to Classy. Also The place charges for parking. It costs costs 5 bucks with validation and dont forget the tip. These people accept credit card if you spend 45 bucks or more.
If it’s under $ 45, you have to pay cash!!!
I rather pay extra 20 dollars and get the best haircut and massage at Raiz.
If you ever go to Raiz you will be too spoiled to come back to Beauty.=p

I LOVE this place. Toshi does an excellent highlighting job. Very even & uniformed. I think I have found my fave stylist in Hawaii, for sure. The price was right, too. The best part of this experience was you only get one stylist to work with you, versus other salons that have 3 people working on you and you end up with uneven highlights, plus its costly to tip 3 people all at once. I much prefer getting the undivided attention of one stylist, rather than 3 rushed stylist taking turns on my hair because their salon is overbooked. Plus the restroom is in the Ilikai hotel so it’s nice, clean and theres not a long line.
And how about the eyelash perms? Yukari is AMAZING. Seriously. She is the best eyelash permer that I’ve ever been to. I got the super tight eyelash perm so it lasted me a good 2 months. It’s so worth it. Plus she has the cutest little white longhaired chihuahua. I like this place. I intend to be their regular from now on.

Aloha from San Francisco!
I was really lucky to have to have chosen Salon Classy because Yukari was so nice and she did a wonderful job with my lash curl. I would highly recommend her and I really hope that she is still there the next time I visit Honolulu.

I love this place. I use to come here all the time before I moved to DC. *sigh* my hair may never be the same. The staff do a wonderful job and are very friendly. They have a frequent comer card where you get a percentage off every so often.
I use to go to Sato-​san, he’s fob from Tokyo that can make your hair just like CanCam and JJ magazine. I do warn you he speaks very little English and may need help from someone else translating. He has an adorable little chihuahua that he dresses up and brought from Japan also.
There are other hair dressers just as talented. The prices are decent compared to other Japanese Salons like the one in Prince hotel or Raiz.
