Rose Mary’s Hair Shoppe

A walked in with to make a future appointment and was greeted by Rose Mary, the very gracious and friendly shop owner, who said she had time to cut my hair right away. Win! I have very long and thick hair that takes a long time to cut. I am so happy with my cut and will be back. $ 35 is a steal too. I enjoyed talking to Rose Mary about how the area has changed (she gas been in the same location for 40 years!!), her family, Kaui, and the Phillipines. This shop is open 7 days a week, so there is always an opportunity to find an appointment. What a hidden gem (inside of Ohana East, ground level).

We were honeymooning in Hawaii, and I was too eager to get rid of the long hair I had grown for the wedding. So I thought it would be so convenient to pop down to the lobby of our hotel and get it chopped off into a bob cut that I’ve always had. On the phone she quoted me $ 25 for a cut, $ 35 for a cut and blow-​dry, and $ 45 for wash, cut and blow-​dry. I don’t like getting my hair washed so I opted for just a cut, and when I got there she said it was always $ 35…
I sit down for a cut by Rose herself. She’s a very nice lady and we had a very pleasant chat, but I was not pleased with my hair cut. When I combed through my hair with my fingers after she finished, I found long pieces of hair that were missed in the back. I could pull them together with my hand. When I pointed it out she said it was part of the front and I had pulled it too far back… I showed it to her again and she reluctantly admitted to missing those pieces. I found more later in my hotel that I had to cut myself. The front pieces that frame my face are uneven… one side slightly shorter than the other so that it doesn’t meet at the chin evenly.
Overall, I only went here because I couldn’t wait to come back to the mainland for a haircut. I wouldn’t go back and I don’t recommend it. She probably relies a lot on getting one-​time tourist customers like me so doesn’t really take her time to do a proper job since she’ll likely never see these people again. So get your hair done here if you don’t really care about your hair cut.
Cash only, by the way.

Hair salon downstairs in the hotel lobby. Final night in Hawaii, and going to a fancy restaurant. Called downstairs, and Daniel told me he could do my hair on short notice.
Daniel turned out to be from Glendale, CA-​what a hoot we had while he was working on my hair. We chatted non-​stop.
This is a small 2 person shop in the hotel lobby, would have missed had I not been nosey. I appreciate them taking me on short notice, and when I come back to the island will visit.

Worst haircut I’ve ever gotten. Didn’t think a men’s haircut could be so poorly done, but it’s possible. Left side different length than the right side, gaps and areas of uncut hair, etc. Do NOT waste your time here.

Great quick service from Rose Mary. Been in business 30 years in same location! Wow. Great lady with a great little shop. Right behind the Round Table Pizza in the walkway into the building first floor.

Very nice and friendly place…
