Stunnah was the barber student that serviced me. He went over and beyond with the haircut I got. I asked for a mid fade. He not only gave me a fade, he lined me up as well, all the way around, even hooked me up with some awesome smelling after shave conditioner which was a plus. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable place with awesome quality service to check out the Hawaii Institute of Hair Design.

My second time here, and my second excellent haircut with beard trim. Today's stylist student was Roo and he was awesome - took so much care and deep attention, good conversationalist, and a positive attitude which will take him places in his career. A great session at less than half the price I would pay on the mainland for a SuperCuts or Great Clips hack job. This place is one of those "simple pleasures" in life.

A hair salon school. I’ve always had good results here on my monthly haircut. The students are young and up to date with all the newest fashions. They are knowledgeable, energetic, and do quality work. A hidden gem.

the service was really good, they were all really friendly. I walked in and got a seat really fast, and the person who cut my hair did a really good job. if you were to get a haircut, ask for dx.

I love this place I just can’t with the people that works here or whatever they came from schools. I came in when they’re about to close with in 45mnts I’m paying my haircut and I’m waiting for anyone to pick me to cut my hair and they all looks tired and no like to even get anyone to work on it their boss was trying to get anyone attention to go help no one likes cause they all lazy and looks tired they just wanna go out cause it was Friday !!

Dropped in snd got a Fabulous haircut overseen by Leo! The care and attention made me really trust the cut and sure enough, my hair naturally holds the style & I feel Fabulous! Everyone was so pleasant and it was a lot of fun.thank you!

Kate and Chris did my hair and I loved it. This was my second time I have gone there and I will continue to do so. They did my hair just as I wanted and made sure that I was satisfied.

This is the place you come to when you 1) have a simple haircut you want, 2) can’t afford the high end places to color your hair, or 3) want to try a new style that you’re not sure about. The name says it all... Institute... it’s a school so the stylists are “in training” but they are customer ready. The reason I love coming here is because they don’t get to take any short cuts... no pun intended. They have to do each snip, clip, crop, and twirl to the top quality because someone is watching them and grading them. The same reason I used to go to the University Dental School, the students in training do the basics better than the pros in the field. At $10 for a basic cut, this is the best quality you can get for the money. Street or paid parking may put a hinder on your visit. Instead, make it a day and be a wanderer. When the sun is out, Downtown has a lot to offer!

They used to be $10, but hey, life isn't getting easier and they had to raise their prices ($15 now, still not a deal breaker). There was no wait, and I got seated almost immediately. Remember, you're getting a deal because they're students, meaning they're bound to make a mistake. Regardless, they have their instructor supervising them (and will fix any mistake). There's this guy (instructor) who is really good when it comes to layering hair...and this is the second time I've got his student. 2/2 good haircut so far, esp if you're open to change IF the student makes a small booboo (not that the student who did my hair made a booboo). Thanks!

I went from brassy brown hair to a beautiful ashy blonde for just $115 here! The results were fantastic for the price. I’m reviewing it with four stars instead of five because the atmosphere is really chaotic and loud. But, that being said, it is a school, so that’s to be expected. I highly suggest coming here.

Awesome place to get a cheap haircut, or get professional like work done by students who is wanting to learn all aspect of hair design. I'm happy to give a tips for great effort they put in there work. They continue to grow as a company, if you nervous about going there ask for a seniors who have more experience, as alway ask questions how you want it done and the teachers are always around to help, for detail or special work call for a appointment. been going there for over 15 years and still love coming back.

Mary Johnson

I had a great cut done by a student here. I brought in a picture so she could see what I wanted and I explained (in pretty vague terms) how I hoped the style would look. She took her time, which I appreciated because it meant she was being careful, and she asked if she could straighten my hair so that she could cut it on an angle as I wanted. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because another student came over and they started gossiping about who I presumed to be a friend or another student, and I thought that was a bit unprofessional, especially since a fee swear words were said.

In reference to the 1 star review : I attended this school 15 years ago. I am extremely successful, and I owe the majority of my success to the teaching I was provided by this great school. To an outsider, it may look hectic, and unorganized, but there is method to the madness. Not every student on the floor is at a level to cut hair, only about half of students you see on the floor can give you the quality of hair style this school strives for, many of the students are observing, reading, getting used to the caos that is in every salon. The student that was eating, they get 1/2 hour of a 9 hour day, which they clock out for, to eat. If she could have taken you, which she is not allowed to clock in any earlier than the 30 minutes, she would have, because learning is better than eating. There is more to learn about the cutting floor, than just hair, for example, appointment making, product knowledge, staff scheduling, and much much more, hence the 6 students at the desk. In my opinion a wait is a good thing. A long wait means the students are busy (gaining the skills to be out in the real world), busy means a lot of clients, lots of clients means workmanship good enough to come back for/tell your loved ones about. You got a referral right? The school might not be as well of an oiled machine that pofesional salons may be, but it's a school. It's the place you make the mistakes that get you to that will oiled machine. Hair styling is a creative craft that doesn't fit inside a neat little box.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! It was my first time bringing my kids here. My son wanted some color and my daughter wanted a balayage. I explained what I wanted for both of them, and had my kids bring pictures of what they wanted done. Not only did they do a GREAT job, they were all friendly and did EXACTLY what both my kids wanted. I honestly don't know how this place gets bad reviews. I will definitely be coming back to do my hair here.

Larry Wong

Been here a few times. I guess it really depends on who you get on your visit. I had good hair cut a couple of times and terrible ones a couple of times. Okay for guys but ladies might want to go other places where the hair stylists are more experienced. Can't beat the price, though.

Zomar was brilliant had great attention to detail and did exactly the style my wife was looking for.

I showed Yuki a photo of my previous haircut. She made some suggestions I wouldn't have thought of..the results were a phenomenal hair cut and beard!! Amazing work!

Ken David

The students are very careful when cutting hair and they do really good work. A knowledgeable supervisor comes around to provide guidance and to make excellent suggestions.

Aaron Tyra

students are cutting ur hair so it will take 3x's longer. but at the end the teacher fixes everything. so if u have time and looking to save some $$, i would recommend it.

Michael Porturas

Couldn't let this one sit with a one star review, these are students, so sometimes it takes a little longer but I got a great cut by friendly people and it was super cheap! Would definitely return.

David Dillon

It's cheap and most of the time I get a good haircut but if I don't they are students and still learning.

Alison Dingley

Students do haircuts with teachers supervising. Really good value and generally good haircuts.
