On Point StudioAmazing professional who truly sees people and talks through ideas and styles yo figure out what you need and what works best for you.
Rock Paper Scissors Salon and Lux…Best ever! From the time you walk in, the vibe is so fun, relaxed, and just fun! My kids and I all see Mailee and we just love her! From solid colors for me, highlights for the teen, and fun colors for the little we always loved our time there!
On Point Studio10/10 experience! She was so wonderful and knowledgeable about curly hair, even kindly showed me a few things. It’s so hard to find someone you can trust to cut curly hair and deliver and she definitely exceeded my expectations! I’m absolutely in love with my hair and can finally feel confident in this beautiful dream cut I’ve always wanted! Thank you!!
On Point StudioGetting my haircut by Keaona was exactly what my hair needed!! She listened to what I wanted from my appointment and made it happen. It truly was the best haircut I have gotten in my entire life haha! I was moving and even though she was booked, she made time for me to come in! She really brought my curls to life…
On Point StudioGreat with my daughter. She has so much patience and passion for what she does. I appreciate her time and patience with my daughter in cutting her hair. The experience is always so great.
On Point StudioKeaona is a genuinely kind and down to earth person and they are fantastic at what they do! I had so many questions about my curly hair and every question was answered in detail and I also got different product recommendations to try out! I'd highly recommend On Point Studio for any kind of hair needs.
