About

Founded in 2010, the salon sits beside Neiman Marcus on the third floor of Ala Moana Center and is open daily from 9 AM to 7 PM. It describes itself as the largest Aveda lifestyle salon and spa in Hawaii and as award-winning. Each year it holds a fundraiser to collect donations for clean water.

Aveda products are used exclusively in the salon and spa. The retail shop carries the full Aveda line along with wellness products from companies that share its values. Signature Aveda treatments are based on Ayurvedic philosophy, and the team trains with Aveda educators and adapts those treatments to the salon's own standards. Aveda aromatherapy is used during services, and guests may be offered Aveda Comforting Tea or herbal water.

Hair services span cutting, styling, color and texture work. Thermal hair straightening, also called a Japanese straight perm, is performed by staff who have each completed more than 60 hours of hands-on training. Hair extension lengthening uses Great Lengths, and the team is described as highly trained in that method. Because the application takes about four hours, a complimentary consultation is offered to settle on a quote first. Corrective color may need more than one appointment, so a consultation is recommended. Prices for hair services depend on the stylist's education and experience and on hair length, density and texture.

Spa guests are asked to arrive 10 minutes early to change into a robe and slippers. Spa services longer than 30 minutes include a complimentary foot ritual. Express spa services last 25 minutes and do not include spa amenities. The changing rooms have lockers and showers, and the space includes a relaxation room, spa rooms and a private nail salon. Children are not permitted in the spa area unless an adult who is not receiving a service supervises them.

Online booking requires a 25% deposit, or 50% for specialty salon services. Cancelling or rescheduling with at least 48 hours notice avoids a charge; otherwise 25% of the service cost applies, or 50% for specialty services. A $5 guest fee applies to each service visit. The salon accepts major credit cards, cash, and Ho'āla and Aveda gift cards and certificates. Aveda and WISH products can be returned within 30 days with a receipt, while other wellness products are final sale.

Built around Aveda's Ayurvedic-based treatments and vegan, cruelty-free products, with services adapted to the salon's own standards.

The waiting lounge has a skylight, and the spa includes a relaxation room and a private nail salon.
