Pearl City Barber-Hairstyling — Local services in Oʻahu

No offense, but I'm judging that they aren't really professional and experienced. I asked for a fade and 'DON'T CUT THE TOP'. There's definitely a language barrier because they are Chinese (not trying to be racist. Just pointing out the facts). During my haircut, the guy faced me away from the mirror and I obviously can tell he was trimming parts of the top of my hair. I had to tell him, "No, no, don't cut my top." And what does he do a couple minutes later? He starts trimming my top hair AGAIN. So I told him to stop because I'm trying to grow the top of my hair.

Like bro, no offense, but this isn't China where you can 'get away' with breaking the rules and not listening to customers. Haircuts are always sensitive because once you mess up someone's hair, they will NEVER come back and they will make a bad review to inform others.

Also, the guy who cut my hair was speedrunning it like it's some kind of contest. No steadiness, no control. He just started cutting rapidly. Dude it wasn't even busy. I was the only customer there.

Then, at the end of finishing my 'fade', the dude decided to 'style' the top of my hair by first spraying water all over it (I thought he was just cleaning my head, but no), then combing it to the right side, making me look like one goofy nice boy ahh haircut. Like seriously bro? What's wrong with you? Did you not see how the top of my hair was styled as a modern pompadour when I walked-in and came up to you? What made you think styling the top of my hair by combing it to one side to look like a nice boy is better than what I had?

So to everyone who is looking to go here, yes it's one of the cheapest places ($24, but they suspiciously charged me $27....), save your money and go somewhere else that won't struggle with the English language. Protect your hair and avoid being stressed out from this 'barbershop'. Luckily my hair grows back fast, but I'll have to wear a hat for now.

Never coming back to this...

Worst experience ever. I asked for a low fade but I got nothing but regret. Lynn the one who cuts my hair was rude. She didn’t even clean it. But when the owner or manager saw it, she asked her to clean my cut and she did, but she’s rushing it so in the end I got this (in the picture) no lining, not making sure if she cuts evenly or not, and no style at all. Not recommended for teens or adults who’s looking for a modern cut. Maybe asked the other barbers, but not for Lynn. The manager was nice but I’m not coming back for sure. WORST...

CHRIS is my usual barber coming to this shop, and coming back to this shop after being away from home for a while, was the worst experience ive had with him. I asked him for a light trim on the top and a skin fade on the side. Braddah did not understand the assignment and trimmed most of my hair making em look like one buzz cut. He took about 15 min to do all of this. Faka put my hairline way above my usual line. Chris u gmfu. Not to be one of those fakas but i like be compensated for this trash experience with...
