Men's Grooming Salon SKY — Local services in Honolulu

I've tried Mojo's Barbershop, Phil's Barbershop, 18|8 Men's Salon, and Men's Grooming Salon Sky here in Honolulu. For the typical upscale barbershop experience, you are going to pay between $50 and $60 after tip. More often than not, my hair isn't even washed during the visit. If you want to add a shave to that, you usually need add about $30 for a straight razor experience. That's not the case at Salon Sky. Here's my experience from start to end, with the $60 all-inclusive course: 1: I walked in to see a sharp-dressed staff. Men were dressed in black slacks, white button-ups, and black vests. Women were dressed in a similar fashion. 2: Started off with a questionnaire about my skin/scalp sensitivities, grooming concerns, desired massage intensity, and general areas you want to see improvements in. 3: The receptionist brought me a hot towel infused with lemongrass oil to cleanse my face before I went in the back. 4: Staff removed my shoes for me to encourage a relaxing experience 5: Barber washed my hair and gave a pretty solid scalp massage. 6: While getting my haircut, a female staff member performed my manicure. 7: After the cut, my hair was washed again, and I received another amazing scalp massage. 8: They reclined my chair for the straight-razor shave. They also have face steamers that blow steam the entire time you are shaving, which is important because I am VERY prone to shaving irritation. The steam kept me from getting any at all. While the barber was doing this, the female staff-member gave me an amazing hand massage. 9: After the shave, the barber gave me a great shoulder and back massage according to my preferences on the questionnaire I filled out. My shoes were put back on for me, and I was walked back out front, but it didn't stop there. While I waited for my bill, I was treated to a fresh cup of ice cold green tea.

The bill for ALL of this was $50 because it was my first time. Normally it is $60, though. I was worried that the quality of the different treatments would be not-so-great because of the price, but I was VERY wrong. Every single aspect was performed as if I had paid separately for each service. In total, I would say the normal value of everything would be at least $200 here in Honolulu. Add an incredibly polite and attentive staff, and you have a recipe for what is, in my opinion, the best barbershop in the city. The chain, based in Tokyo, has only been open since November. I had never heard about it before my random google search for a haircut place today, so I feel like they don't advertise. The experience was so phenomenal that I've made it my personal mission to try and refer as many people as I can, so that they can stay open and I can continue to go there. English is the second language here, but as long as you bring a picture of yourself with the haircut you want, or just a picture of the haircut in general, they have no problem giving you exactly what you want. The female staff member spoke pretty good English and served as a translator for any concepts that weren't clear between my barber and I. I have no intention of every going anywhere else, and this is BY FAR the best haircut...

This is the best hair salon I have ever experienced during my (short) 40 years of my life ;) I have been to several well known salons in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Honolulu and some famous hair salons in Osaka and Tokyo during my younger years. My head is not very symmetrical and thus, I require a good stylist. Sky in Honolulu is the best! Akiko is wonderful. She is skillful and charismatic. Charismatic because she knows exactly what she’s doing. The people, EVERYONE that works there are friendly and professional and I have been going there every three weeks since 8 months ago. I never had a so-so time there. It’s always a 5 star experience and this rating is coming from a long time, second generation seasoned hotelier. I already gave them a review on yelp but this time, I wanted to make a special mention to a young lady that usually works assisting the stylists. Since I came during a busy time, this young lady (didn’t get her name) shampooed my hair. I wasn’t expecting much and thought she was an amateur but when she started scrubbing my hair, Oh My Lord was I transported to another dimension of comfort!! I have never been shampooed so wonderfully in my life! I was speechless and couldn’t express my graciousness to her. I think I was only able to mumble some words that probably didn’t make sense. This is telling of how much the leadership of Sky is able to train their staff so well.

I recommend Sky to anyone who would like an excellent grooming and to experience what good service is. The genuinely good service we all may have forgotten...
