Megumi Organic Salon

I love to color my hair here because it doesn’t use that artificial chemicals to get rid of my grays. Instead it uses natural henna that highlights all your gray hairs looking more natural. Because it uses natural henna, it doesn’t thin or destroy your hair. It actually feels like it coats it making your hair feel healthier.
The owner of the shop actually goes around to find the best quality henna. After she lathers your hair in the henna, you can either to choose to stay in the shop till it is done or you can have it wrapped in a wrap (there are different kinds of wraps to choose from if you want to buy one and you can reuse every time you go back) and then you can either wash your hair at home or jump into the ocean as sometimes she suggests you could do.
Love this place and can’t wait to go back again

If you have severe allergic reactions to chemical hair dyes, look no further, THIS IS THE PLACE.
For the past several years I have been dyeing my hair just to cover the grays but over time I started getting severe allergic reactions to the chemicals in it. I had just about given up and decided to go all natural with grays and all since last year when I accidentally stumbled upon this Salon on FB. I called and left a message for a skin test. Lisa, the owner of the salon called me back the same day and suggested I come in and pick up the samples. She was with a client the day I went in but she took the time to explain the ingredients in the packet and instructed how to apply.
My result? No reaction after 24 hour patch test on each packet applied on different days. I called for an appointment but didn’t hear back from her and noticing the announcement of her upcoming vacation on FB, it made it all the more pressing for me to just walk in and make the appointment in person. She was with a client again but told me if I can wait 20 minutes she will squeeze me in between her scheduled clients. Ecstatic, I waited patiently and wouldn’t have minded waiting the whole day and even be the last client just because I was deeply grateful by her gesture.
It was my turn. Lisa sat me comfortably and started applying a thick paste that looked like cow dung, same color too on my hair. My head got heavier and heavier with the paste and when she was done I handed her my scarf. She wrapped it tight and secure. I paid my dues, initial price $ 104. She said for root touch ups $ 75 only. I left the scarf on as instructed and rinsed it off in the tub after five hours. It was messy!
It has been three weeks since my visit to Lisa. My hair is still feeling soft and natural. Just a tiny mm hint of grays popping up at the roots but not drastic.
This will definitely be my go to place when I can $$ afford it again. This pretty much sums up who Lisa is, a professional business person but treats you like a friend. Thank you Lisa!

Amazing! My first experience in an «organic salon» and I’ll never go back to a traditional place. My hair looks and feels healthy and I know that will last longer than the first wash. Lisa is a great conversationalist and very knowledgeable, leaving me with good suggestions for my particular hair. I’ll be back soon!

I used to use ‘natural plant-​based’ hair dye products that claim to be ‘free of harsh chemicals, ammonia free’, but of course still contain harsh chemicals like PPD. After starting to have a mild allergic reaction I decided to switch to henna and indigo. It’s been a learning & oftentimes messy & a little more time consuming process but I’ve been happier going chemical-​free, my hair is so much healthier. I discovered Megumi Organic Salon while visiting Hawaii and OMG, I didn’t realize how easy it could be to get my hair henna-​ed compared to doing it myself. Lisa was fantastic, and so knowledgeable! She gave me great suggestions on henna-​ing my hair and also advised me on how to grow out of my current haircut that I haven’t been very happy with (where I got cut previously somewhere else). I left her shop after a haircut, with my hair henna-​ed neatly in a scarf, where I could finish up my business for the day, go beach, etc before washing it out at home. I am super happy with my haircut and with my new henna color!

Great alternative to the harsh chemicals and last forever just need touch up my growth every couple months.

I’ve been to Megumi about 5 times to get my hair colored with Henna. I love it! Two times I did the full head and three times I have touched up the roots. I have naturally red/​brown hair which is quickly turning grey so the regular natural henna is beautiful on my hair and comes out a bright and beautiful red color on my head. Henna hair coloring is very different than chemical processing. Lisa paints the clay onto your hair starting at the roots and moving out to the tips– she piles the hair onto of your head (I felt like an elf) and then carefully wraps your hair in a plastic cap with a cotton to keep it from leaking. She wraps your head in a beautiful scarf of your choice. I feel like an exotic goddess when I walk out. The henna clay is heavy but Its like carrying water on your head, it promotes good posture. Don’t plan on doing too much activity your first time, but it does get easier and lighter when you go for a touch up as the clay is only applied to the roots. Lisa is super fast (30 mins or less)! It takes much less time to get the color applied than traditional processing. I leave my henna on for many hours, as long as possible, late into the night and then I sit in my shower and rinse the clay out. It takes awhile but is very satisfying. It helps if you can remove your shower head and get it up close to your head for rinse out. I shampoo and condition my hair afterwards, then I cover my pillow to avoid any color transfer that night. The color is really bright the next day but turns browner after a few days– oxidation causes the browning and is part of the process. Day three the color is just right and I start basking in the wonderful complements I get about my red hair. Bonus– The color does not fade! Unlike other reds which wash out easily and need special care the Henna has excellent staying power. Lisa also gives a great hair cut. I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for years and she is the first stylist who gets that. She cuts just enough for it to be swinging and healthy. My hair has never looked better.

After having done henna now many times I gotta say the process gets easier to bear! I love henna and Lisa is so helpful and knowledgable! This place is 10 stars if that were possible.

Hi, my name is Kristen and I’m a granola bar. Not fully, but ever since I had my son I have been a lot more hippie-​esque. My hormones are going crazy, my hair is finally growing back, but still thin. I work near Megumi and would always walk past the directory which listed «Megumi Organic Salon.» I would always say I should check it out, and finally did a Unilocal search, called her and went in for a brief consultation.
She was very patient, I had a LOT of questions. Is it really safe? I’m breastfeeding, is it okay? will the smell affect my son? She answered them all and I came back that evening and her son hennaed me up. Is that a word? Now it is.
It was such a strange experience. It didn’t take long, 20 – 30 minutes max. My head was definitely heavy and I left the place looking like Erykah Badu with my hair all scarfed up. I felt so hippie that I went to Da Spot to eat afterwards.
Okay, this is becoming a novel so I’ll cut to the chase.
It was so heavy! The 5.5 hours felt like forever, because it required me to stay up for an extra hour… or three. okay I go to sleep early. And it looked like a crime scene in my shower but it was fine. Took a while to get everything out, but my hair feels AMAZEBALLS! It was so nastay before, and now there’s a shine and luster to it. Plus, it was all natural! No carcinogens for me please.

Is Megumi Organic Salon geared towards crunchy granola hippies? Maybe, but whatever ideology you subscribe to you’ll get a great haircut here.
I’ve been to Lisa (Megumi is her middle name) about four times now. This number would be higher if I stuck to getting my hair cut every 6 – 8 weeks, but her cuts are so good that I’ve actually waited 12 weeks between appointments once (not because I didn’t want to see her, just got SUPER busy).
The first time I went I was breastfeeding and my hair was thinning big time. I thought dying my hair might help by coating the strands and making them look thicker, but I didn’t want to use any chemicals that might be digested by my baby. The experience was interesting and smelly (not as smelly as a perm or normal hair color) and it left me with smooth, shiny locks that had a subtle red tint in the sun. I could not stop looking at my hair whenever I passed a reflective surface outside.
The henna lasted quite a while but I decided that while it is great for conditioning I don’t need to color my hair yet. When I do I’ll definitely come to Megumi!
On an atmosphere and service note: the salon is beautifully decorated by Lisa herself and Lisa (it is a one woman shop as far as I know) is so knowledgeable on a bunch of different topics like organic skin and hair care and foods.

I used my play hawaii voucher a month ago to do my hair. As a 1^st timer, Lisa was very good. She explained the henna process. I love how my hair feels now. It’s not so dry and frizzy and it has definitely helped with the dry scalp issue. I will definitely come back again. The only thing I didn’t like is the weight it puts on your head when you need to leave the henna dye in for a few hours.

I’m not a big « Unilocaler,» but I just came back from my first haircut with Lisa at Megumi Organic Salon and HAD to write a review! I’m so happy with my haircut! I came in with a style that I didn’t like and had been living with it for a few months, thinking that the only remedy was to let it grow out. I told Lisa my concerns — that I wanted to keep the length, but my haircut was uneven and the layers were too heavy. I was stunned after she was done! I thought I’d have to wait a couple more months at best to be happy with my hair again. I’m so glad I was wrong! I originally booked an appointment because I support her mission of a chemical-​free, organic business. I’ll be coming back because she is also a very talented and knowledgable hair stylist!

awesome place and stylist!
very different from the traditional hair salons. henna has no chemical burns. everthing is organic. depending on hair color and type, the process may be short or as long as 9 hours. but all worth it in the end. :)
got my hair cut later in the week and left with a new silky and soft do for my vacay…

What a great treasure! Lisa is very knowledgeable and knowing that I’m not putting nasty chemicals into my body is a big PLUS! I never even knew she existed in this space for 2 years I will be a forever client of hers! I love my hair!!! Cute and clean salon with a great place to eat next door after your appt!!!

I got a cut and my hair hennaed. First time I tried henna had been reading about it for years, so I finally took the plunge and I loved it. My hair cut was amazing. I came out of the salon looking like a super model. All of my friends are amazed and want to know what I had done.

Nice salon and great haircut for my curly hair as well! I like their philosophy on using natural, chemical free products. Space is very comfortable, bright and airy, AND furnished mostly with recycled materials.

Great salon, first salon that I’ve been happy with my curly hair cut.– and I’ve been everywhere! Also the stylist was genuine and ready to build a relationship instead of a lot of one chop wonders around town,
