Schofield Barracks PX

Sure, this place is no Ala Moana, or even a Target for that matter, but it’s a good place to go if you need to grab a few things and don’t want to go far from base.
You can find anything under the sun in the Exchange, from TVs, to wine, to clothes, to diapers… I mean it really is a one-​stop shop kind of deal. But beware– the prices aren’t always lower than off base. The only pro is there is no sales tax.
There are tons of places to eat here if you are looking for a bite, including the new Pizza Hut. I’d caution against going to the Starbucks if you can help it. They’re frequently out of things (even good olé’ regular coffee) and they charge for a splash of cold soy whereas traditional Starbucks stores do not. Plus, most days the customer service is lacking and the line is a mile long!

The barbers shop is straight out garbage. Every time I go there I tell myself «never again». The ladies there DO NOT know how to give a proper haircut! Even though it is convenient, I recommend to stay away!

This is a good place to find housewares without having to go all the way to Milillani. I’ve also found some decently-​priced clothing here, and gifts for family on the mainland.

This place is nothing like the NEX, but it does offer a pretty good variety of stores that I often find useful. I feel like some of the kiosks are sort of just taking space instead of having a good selection of kiosks that offer useful products.

This is for the nail salon in the PX. I have given them many chances with many different products and am disappointed almost every time. While they do give good pedicures depending on who does it, their gel polish and nails aren’t the best. My gel nail chipped after two weeks which it shouldn’t have because gel are supposed to be stronger. The nail also began separating from my actual nail not too long after a fill. The gel polish on top of the gel nails also started chipping after a week. I was told it lasted for at least two weeks. I like the convenience of the location being on base, but their products aren’t the best.

Schofield Home Gallery. Spent 30 minutes easily looking around. Not once did I get approached by someone asking if I needed anything. Didn’t even get acknowledged.

This place does not know how to cut hair. If you want a decent hair cut that is even go somewhere else. This place will leave your hair messed up! Regardless who you go to! This place does not care what you want or ask for… they are always busy because it’s the most convenient place on post, so your money and complaints don’t mean anything. Do yourself a favor and go off post.

It’s an AAFES and with that said, it’s the surroundings that make this a great place to shop… for the Active and Retired Military, regardless of your branch of service. They have it all: Game Stop, GNC, Subway, Starbucks, and that’s just some of the shops. There are always table after table of the local vendors who hock their wares and the outside has many options as well. There is a BBQ wagon and other foods, more wares and goods, and ample parking. It’s a must-​go-​place when you’re in the area for something to do or to get whatever you happen to need.

My husband came here for the first time and the last. My husband enjoys having me come to ensure he is getting the cut that he wants and when he asked my advice the last started yelling at me. They only know how to do 1 type of cut and that is the standard military cut. If you like to have any flow and style this is not the place. The lady also started making rude comments to me when checking out. Not impressed and will never return. You get what you pay for here

Customer service is ok. But the place is always clean. Lots of sale on items. It’s much smaller then other exchanges on the island but it’s nice for basic things

This has been the only place I’ve been to get the patch of hair under my bun cut. I decided to go in there today and the old lady who cut my hair immediately starts saying «we don’t cut long hair» so I explained what I wanted and she insisted on reminding me that even tho it was the patch, it was going to be the same price. Very obnoxiously might I add. When I told her that I come here every other week and that I already knew, she sloppily butchers the simple cut, she yanked the bib from my neck nearly decapitating me and rushes over to the register as if I was going to leave without paying. While one of the employees stands in front of the counter counting her tips, the woman waiting to be paid gives me a death stare. Overall horrible service from this barber shop today. Sorry I didn’t get the name of the horrible stylist. Needless to say tho, she did not deserve a tip and when she’s seen that she didn’t get one, she threw my copy of the receipt on the counter and mumbled something in her tribal native language.

It was my first time ever at this exchange & I must say that I am very impressed!
The store is neat & very nice to walk around in. My cashier Roxanne was very sweet &let me know all the deals going on!

So as everyone has said this is the «little» exchange of Oahu. However I give it the more than mediocre star for two reasons.
1) Starbucks
2) you don’t get the «pat down» like the NEX. I love how huge the NEX is but dang they act like your going through the dang airport or like your going to tell «outsiders» the prices. It’s not that serious people. The Schofield exchange reminds me of all the other places I’ve lived. Small and you only need a military ID at check out.
Don’t let the size fool ya. Everyone and their brother loves Starbucks around a military place. This is a busy exchange, especially around lunch time.

Pretty standard for a PX. You can find clothes and kitchen stuff cheaper on the outside, but they are convenient when you’re printing an essay for school and your printer decides you’re out of ink and suddenly you can’t find that spare stack of paper you need. I buy Greenies for the dog here, but I’ve never bothered to price match to a local store. I don’t exactly shop here often, but it is there when I need it. DH likes to pick out the very largest TV and proclaim that he intends to buy it when his business trip is over. Hmmm, me thinks not. I have banned TVs that are longer than I am tall. I can picture us in Germany, squeezing past that damn TV to get into the kitchen. Or, I can see him crying in the parking lot as we realize that the TV didn’t make the move in one piece. You know, because military movers are really careful with your HHG when you PCS.
The only thing I truly hate about this place is the flat iron display they’ve place directly in front of the main entrance. I was blessed/​cursed/​whatever with curly hair and a total disinterest in standing in front of a mirror for 45 minutes to make it straight. I brush my hair and add leave-​in conditioner, sometimes I can afford to go to the salon and get a proper cut and dye, I’ve experimented with the Brazilian Blowout, never will I ever waste time or money on a curler or a flat iron and add an extra hour to my morning routine. The guys that run this kiosk are like sharks in bloody water when I grace the PX entrance on the hunt for paper and ink. I’m at the point where I don’t even acknowledge them and push forward briskly so they can’t physically grab me and attempt to steer me into a chair for a «demonstration».

Excellent prices on glasses and frames

Small and convenient for Army families living on Post. Some merchandise are comparable to Walmart prices, but there is no tax. Service can be lackluster at some point, but overall okay. Parking lot can be packed during military payday and holiday shopping presents a problem, sometimes. That’s all.

There are definitely better on the island. Parking between 1000 and 3 is horrible. There is usually a shrimp tent/​food truck BBQing something tasty just outside and there are quite a few vendors with all the must have house knickknacks. I haven’t been to the swap meet yet so I won’t say go there… just yet haha. There is a small selection of stuff in this PX and sadly I recommend that if you have time just go to the NEX… Pretty standard food court and the highlight of the whole place is the Starbucks. There is a barbershop too with great prices and decent haircuts. Just don’t tell them you want a bald fade! haha

I come here often… last visit was on Black Friday at 6AM. Not that busy!
Not too bad of an exchange… it’s a lot smaller compared to the Navy Exchange or the Hickam Exchange, but it still offers a variety of the same items. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, makeup, perfume, handbags, toiletries, electronics, household items, etc. They have kiosk type areas outside which sell picture frames, sunglasses, balloons, knick knacks etc… They also have a food court which has Subway, Burger King, Anthony’s Pizza, Starbucks, Planet Smoothie and a couple others…
You need a military ID to make purchases in the Exchange. No sales tax! It’s super clean and nicely organized… best thing is that it’s not too busy because everyone is at the Navy Exchange!

Nicely kept. Obviously you can only purchase inside the department store if you have a military ID. But the food court is for anyone. They have regular prices. They have restaurants such as: subway, burger king, planet smoothie, anthonys pizza, Chinese… The usual military kind of foods. Don’t eat the Chinese though! It sucks!
They have a starbucks and other cute little vendors like a floral shop, accessory shop, GNC, UPS, hair cutting station for military men, etc.
Prices are great! So take advantage if you have a military card. It’s a couple parking lots down to the commissary & furniture store.
