Best Barber Shops In Honolulu

“Great spot and superb service. Came here based off of the cuts and posts I saw on IG. My 2nd time getting a cut from Xavier and both times were great. I appreciate that he answers my questions and gives advice. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a great cut.“

“Quality cuts and a cool environment. Very clean and good attention to detail. They use good products. Highly recommend. Ask for Lou!“

“I usually don't care much about my haircuts. I get them because of work. I desperately needed a cut and i was on Apple Maps just searching barbershops this one stuck out and so I decided to go. I had to make an appointment for later that day which normally would be annoying but I completely understand. When I went back I was pretty whatever about the cut (usually am) but after a day or two I noticed how well of a job he did. It's been easy to style my hair and comb it. Definitely going back.“

“If anyone needs a quick, clean, cheap cut Check out Ky. He is the man, nice quiet vibes, parking around back, and the cuts are always super clean. Couldn't recommend him enough“

“First time cutting my hair here and right from the start great service from the front desk to the barber. The barber I went with was Brian super cool guy and a really good barber and great at his craft. The vibe to the shop is excellent real vintage feel to it classic music. They even offer complimentary coffee!!. It's such a great place that I already booked my next appointment. So if guys want to experience great service this a highly recommended place. Aloha.“

“I see Yuki once a month and I honestly look forward to it every time. I pay a bit extra and get the head care package and it is 100% worth it. The salon is so calming and peaceful. Yes you could find cheaper haircuts on island, but this is the Ferrari of men’s salons - it’s in a league of its own.“

“PCS? Visiting on vacation? This barbershop is a no frills, fast, and great option to look sharp for whatever your needs. Aunty Lisa and Uncle are good at what they do. Their prices are REALLY AFFORDABLE for what the trade is charging these days, so be sure to tip well (as of Aug 2024, a standard men's cut - including skin fade - was $16). Not only are the prices good, but they do it fast and efficiently. I came here while temporarily staying in the Waikiki hotels and even though I've moved from the area, I still make it a point to go to that side of town for a cut. Cash preferred, but they take credit card with added transaction fee. You can also call to make appointments, which is sometimes recommended as they're a hot commodity. Parking is all on the street, you may have to drive up the side streets to find a spot. If taking rideshare over, check out the area for good eats and stores before or after your cut!“

“Checked this place out while I was in Hawaii. The barber who cut my hair here was Hiro. It's funny because Hiro cut my hair a long time ago when I went to Mojo barbershop and it was one of my best haircuts that I had. I could never find Hiro when I came back to Hawaii on other trips but by chance he ended up being my barber at this spot! Anyway Hiro did an awesome job again and really does a good job and has good attention to detail. Will be back whenever I'm in Hawaii!“

“This is the best barbershop in the area. I totally recommend this barbershop to everyone who is in the town area. They give great quality haircuts and pricing is good too. The staff is always friendly and attentive to each person. I highly recommend everyone to come and give this place a try!“

“I recently visited On Top Barbershop, and Kevin gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had! From the moment I sat in the chair, Kevin was attentive and listened to exactly what I wanted. He took his time to make sure every detail was perfect, and the results were amazing. The fade was sharp, and the style was exactly how I envisioned it. Kevin's skill and precision are top-notch. The shop itself has a great vibe, and everyone there is super friendly. If you're looking for a barber who knows what he's doing and delivers consistently great cuts, ask for Kevin at On Top Barbershop. You won't be disappointed!“

“Cheap, quick and really nice owner. Definitely recommend. Major plus points for having her cute black cat, Moon, laying on the couch.“

“Emily really knows her hair. She takes alot of time understanding your hair and explaining how your hair lays and best way to cut and maintain. Though, at $100 for a basic hair cut, and $80 for beard trim, razor shave and facial. Throw in a 25% tip and you're looking at over $225 + tax before getting out of there. She's a lot of fun, and she's worth the money, but unfortunately, I'll only be able to enjoy this luxury on special occasions.“

“One of my favorite barber shops on island. Whenever I have extra cash I enjoy coming here. The staff are some of the coolest people ever and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing. They always get my haircut the way I ask for it. If I could give above 5 stars I would 100%. The location being inside velocity with super cars adds to the memorable experiences I have.“

“Yes! They can cut ladies hair too! Call to make an appointment, especially if it's Saturday. Brenda is only there Monday and Saturday so be sure. Only street parking so go ahead and bit early to find parking.“

“Very nice and courteous man, call ahead.
Price is also reasonable, would definitely ? go back.

Stylist: As good as expected for the asking rate“

“Made an appointment for two people - husband and a son. Monica was very skilled. Cash only. Price is reasonable. Took about 15-20 min per person. We would come back next time we are in Honolulu. The entrance is located in a hallway between King St and parking lot behind.“

“I went here to get a haircut the day before my wedding. Tom was a very kind gentleman and gave me a super cut and shave. I'm from Texas but if I lived here on Oahu I would get all my haircuts from here!“

“Great service awesome job f****** love my haircut definitely going back actually making an appointment right after this.. BOOM BONG!!!“

“I recently discovered the best barbershop I've ever been to, and the owner is very friendly and attentive. He has an exceptional talent for understanding exactly what style suits you best. The interior of the shop is immaculate, with a modern yet cozy atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. It has undoubtedly become my go-to place for haircuts. If you're looking for a top-notch barber who truly cares about his clients, this is the place to go.“

“The place is a hidden gem! First time getting my haircut. I'm from California where barbers are hipster. Best haircut I've had in my life at 8 Ave barber! Ask for Tina! She is amazing! I definitely found my new barber shop!“

“Been going here for the last 13 years and have never been disappointed with a haircut. Ko is a barber with decades of experience and it shows in his work. Very friendly and affordable. Highly recommend.“

“I've been to many different barbers in Honolulu over the years. Sometimes individual barbers moved on or businesses closed. Others I tried for a while but perhaps the vibes weren't right. I did find a place in Kaimuki I liked, but things changed ever since COVID. And since I no longer live there, I've been checking out different shops closer to home in the Ala Moana area. Near the end of last year, I was in need of a haircut. I searched Yelp for a barber close by and began checking out a few. Grace Barber & Hair Salon came up and it sounded sort of familiar. I phoned her on impulse and asked if she was available. She suggested a time later in the day. As is usual for me, I arrived a few minutes early but she was already sitting outside her shop waiting. We talked a bit while she was cutting my hair. My hairstyle is simple and so she was done in no time. I paid (it's cash only) and made my way home. Now for the real test, the spouse test. My wife liked how my hair turned out and suggested I decide on her from now on. Today was my second appointment and Grace recognized me right away. I asked if I could leave a review of her shop on on Yelp and would it be okay if I took some photos. She said that would be nice and gave me her business card. Her card indicates she's been in business since 1988. Upon returning home, my wife again said that my hair turned out great.“

“Hubby likes to go here because the lady is kind and takes her time. Prices are $12.00 a hair cut for men. Driving on Middle street ( makai- ocean ) on the right hand side before Fort Shafter turn right - be careful- people not patient if you need to turn on middle street.. The lady trimmed my long hair - It only took about 10 minutes! Don't remember what she charged us for my haircut, but I believe it was under $20.00- at least I got a professional to cut my hair !! I've been cutting it myself since Covid ‍“

“Nice place to get a haircut. Very friendly owner, she's fast and gives great haircuts.“

“Highly recommend booking with Khalib! Service is always consistent, makes sure his quality is always on point. I recommend him to all my family and friends. All around great guy !“
