Dada Salon

I live on the North Shore, so this was a bit of a drive for me – however, so worth it! The salon itself is modern and beautiful and the staff was very friendly.
Sharon Chang is so talented! She gave me the perfect blonde balayage. You can tell she really knows color and what works for each client.
Go see Sharon, you won’t be disappointed! :)

Jamie is always friendly. Her assistants are always helpful. I’m on a journey to color correcting and will change my star ratings eventually. But overall good so far.

I’ve followed Haughen from his former salon in alamoana, I’ve been his client for over 6 years. Absolutely love his work, I will always come up with crazy hair color ideas whether I see it on IG and Guy Tang Vlogs I can always count on him to give me his honest opinion and input on every question I fire his way or every crazy hair trend I contemplate on trying. If it weren’t for him I’d probably be a human unicorn haha.
He’s definitely a perfectionist so if you are looking for someone that rushes through your color process and produces the same look over and over it won’t be Haughen. Everything I’ve seen him put out there is unique and taylor made to fit each individual client. His color technique, precision haircut expertise and great to see him always evolving trying new things taking new classes.
Super passionate in his craft in the years that I’ve known him so I can tell you he’s worth the wait, book ahead of time as I’ve learned that very seldomly you can book him as a walk in I’ve never been that succesful but he’s nice enough to reply and try.
I highly recommend him to everyone I know Haughen is awesome don’t know what my hair would do without his magic! The salon is gorgeous I’m always wanting to book that head spa, and his assistant is the sweetest.

Alex at Dada Salon has been doing my hair for five years now! She is my go to gal for all my hair needs whether they be cut, color, or style! She has done a color correction on my hair when I tried dying it from a box at home, and everyone always notices how beautiful the colors she uses are. I’ve thrown some pretty challenging things her way, and she always pulls through. On top of this, Alex is fun and friendly to talk to, and you can tell she truly cares about your wants and needs when cutting or coloring your hair.
Thanks Alex for being awesome all these years!

If you’re in need of a really good haircut, Richie is your guy. I went from having hair that went to the bottom of my back to having it cut to my neck. And literally, this is the shortest my hairs ever been so it took me a good couple of months into talking myself to book an appointment. Did I mention that I’ve never cut my hair for about 3 – 4 years? Hahaha. Anywaaaays, Richie did a phenomenal job with my haircut and I’m so glad that I put my trust in him. He accommodates and cuts your hair as to how you style your hair, and how low/​high maintenance you want to keep it. Such awesome customer service for a stylist !! I’ve never met a stylist who really understood their client and their needs. He really knows what he’s doing and what’ll make you look you awesome without going out of boundaries as to what you want. After cutting it, I’ve received so many compliments from friends and coworkers, and my boyfriend loved it as well! And not only did the people I know complimented my hair, I’ve had random strangers come up to me at work saying how awesome my haircut was and who did it. It was a bit pricy but I’m assuming it’s because he’s the founder of the salon and because of his experience. But despite that, I’ve never been happier with how my hair looks (: Thank you so much Richie !!!

Salon is upscale very neat with talented stylists. Thanks to Sharon for my new hairdo.

Dada Salon great place to get an amazing hair makeover. Go see Theresa Kanekoa she is an amazing stylist. Been going to her for years! The atmosphere is so up beat and retro.

I tried to get an appointment and was told that someone would get in touch with me. Well it’s been over a month. I guess my business is not wanted here. I will be letting all my friends and family know how unprofessional Dada Salon is.
Edit: Someone from the salon personally reached out to me and offered to set me up with an appointment. I appreciate their quick and professional response. Unfortunately I already had my hair done by a different salon but the next time I need a trim, I’ll try Dada Salon again.

Jamie is my go-​to! I have been a «hair» hopper for as long as I can remember, but she takes the cake! I have been with her since last May and she never fails to wow me with her hair art skills!!! She still continues to amaze me, even when I don’t even know what to do with my hair, she just works her magic! Her assistant Ariel is also awesome, she was there too when I first went to Jamie. They really are the dynamic duo!!! Truly down-​to-​earth and very easy to communicate with.
She doesn’t overbook herself or have so many of us sitting around. She really dedicates time to each of her clients. Yeah, you’ll see maybe 2 – 3 but it’s usually one is ending and another beginning. Very great time management! I do understand a high demand for her though, I mean can you blame her?! Her work is beautiful!!! Do go in for a consult before committing — I promise you, sitting with her and speaking with her about what she can do with will give you a much more reassuring confidence in her work :)
The salon location is conveniently located near Walmart on Keeomoku. New building so it looks beautiful inside and out!
I also really love how they designed Dada Salon! It’s so modern with a hint of industrial. I’m a sucker for exposed fixtures.
Overall, I love this place! I get a very welcome feeling. Even the front desk is pleasant. The ambiance is really something you appreciate when doing your hair. I kind of almost never want to leave sometimes! LOL

I CANT LIVE without My #1 salonist’s Dave Corpuz and My Mesa i have been with the 2 for several years now, and I wont change my Salonists And me verrrryyy particular in my hair cut, they know how i want my hair and its always beautiful!!! I highly Recommend DADA Salon, they Give EXCELLENT SERVICES… Love them ALL !!!

Excellent hair salon. Probably the best that Oahu has. For hair appointments, request Dayna, you won’t regret it.
Best hairstylist I’ve ever had. (:

It doesn’t get better than this. Go see Joy or Richie for your color and cut – I can’t tell you how many times people stop me to ask me where I get my hair done – but I’m willing to say you can book with anyone at Dada and leave looking fabulous! Half the fun of going there is seeing what the other stylists are doing with their clients. So creative and beautiful! And the atmosphere is a neat combination of vibrant, modern, and comfortable.

Tried to make an appointment with Khoi via text but never got a reply back. Rude and unprofessional.

It was my first time here and my experience was jaw dropping amazing! I had my pedi done by Jasmine and my brows done by Nadine. I was very pleased with the results. The salon gives you a West Hollywood feel but with a touch of Aloha as everyone there is so nice! I will definitely be back for a haircut, a facial and a scalp massage :). Thank you for making me feel welcomed. You are all amazing. Special thanks for Jasmine and Nadine!!! You ladies made me so happy!

This review is for Alex. First I want to say thank you for doing my extensions Alex you’re truly great at what you do, the work shows for itself.
I am a Leukemia survivor whose hair is short and possibly a little hard to work with. I have had extensions done before (glue and bonded) but they were tough on my hair especially removing them so I am picky at who to trust. I found a review for her that really caught my eye and I texted her and she responded back. I came in for a consultation and she was so nice to explain everything and show me her technique (braid in) which I’ve never heard of before and she is very reasonable with her price. So, after weeks of saving money I finally was able to get my extensions done. She was amazing and went step by step on how to take care of my hair and pointed out where I need to focus on.
I definitely recommend anyone who wants to get their extensions go see Alex!

Monica is the only person that will ever cut my hair! nothing can compare to her haircuts!!!

So happy that my favorite stylist, for the past several years, from Ulupono to Salon 808 and now, the fabulous Dada Salon! Thank you Haugen.
Love this new salon, gee, there’s even someone to greet you by the door. Makes it a bit easier the first time, everything is open, clean and sparkling. The owners did a fabulous job in creating this new salon.
I was given a luxury shampoo by EJ, whose gonna be a stylist one day. His shampoo technique and scalp massage got me off to a relaxing time. Just what I needed. Oh yeah, they have an area dedicated solely to scalp treatments. I need to get one of those the next time around.
Haugen knows exactly and instinctively what I need. Fast, neat, clean and most of all a fresh new look. Following him from Ulupono days, to Salon 808 and now Dada, has been a path that I would happily take again. Haugen has come far from his experimental days into a mature, well established hairstylist. The ambiance at Dada is far more exceptional than Salon 808 ever was, everyone at Dada is smiling and happy, makes for a pleasant and happy hair experience.
Way to go Dada and Haugen!
BTW: there’s an awesome automated parking system!

This is the B E S T salon I’ve ever been to! I went here to get my nails done with a coworker and just fell in love.
They have two ladies doing nails. I had Jasmine and she was just awesome! After a long day at work she gave me the most relaxing mani pedi! They use the smitten brand for their lotions and scrubs. You can choose various flavors from Mai tai to strawberry mint! I requested French tip for my hands and jasmine took her time unlike those other nail salons that just rush you out and use fans on your fingers to dry!
From now on she’ll be the only one doing my nails! Recommend to always book appointments! They seem very busy in there so not sure how walk ins work.

The owner of Etch Salon moved to this new location on Sheridan and re-​vamped as Dada. This salon is large and in charge boasting a new chic, sleek, and modern look. This salon has upgraded with a lot more new hairdressers (all hip in their own way), two nail artists, cosmetic tattoo’s, eyelash extensions, and hair/​scalp treatments just to name a few. I, of course, had to follow the #1 hair stylist Alex!
I’ve been going to her for a little over 3 years. Whenever I want to re-​vamp my look (sometimes after just 6 weeks!) she’s always there, but I’m most known for going to her for hair extensions. She does all types, some styles I’ve never seen anyone do but her (making you feel exclusive), but I’ve had 4 different types of extensions ranging from clip-​ons to «permanently» fixed on my head. Price ranges from what type of style you want and how much hair you need, but everything she does is quality and well worth the end result. I especially appreciate her because she has my best interest at heart. My hair is thin and breaks a lot, so she’ll only do a certain type of extension so that it doesn’t put stress on my hair. That includes dying my hair. She’ll make sure to maximize the results while not compromising my hair quality.
This is the new IT spot… don’t wait too long before booking an appointment. ;)

What is Dada? Even after reading wikipedia, I still don’t know. When I told my husband that my stylist, Khoi was moving to this brand spanking new space nearby, his response was «Tada?!» Like you walk in a hot mess and when Khoi is done with you it will be TADA!!! I just said yes because that basically sums up it up. I pretty much do the same thing with my hair every time but he is always ready for when I need a change. He finds a good balance with what (I think) I want and what will actually work for me because not every color or style looks good on the same person.
The space is amazing! Its on the 3^rd floor of the new building (not sure what the name of the actual building is) adjacent to Walmart and HMSA. It has a very modern, loft like vibe but totally inviting and welcoming. Sometimes spaces like these tend to be kind of intimidating and uppity when you walk in but its not like that there. I was immediately greeted and offered a drink when I walked in and felt comfortable the whole time there.
The place is buzzing with activity. There are many stylists there and they also offer services like nails and lashes. I have to mention the hair washing stations they have! One side has these reclining chairs so that you are pretty much laying down while getting your hair washed. On the other side are actual table/​beds to get your hair washed or while getting their Head Spa Treatment that they offer.
So go to this salon and see Khoi if you want to walk out with that Tada (jazz hands) feeling.;o)
